“Our Entertainment business delivered a strong

revenues surging 68%,” commented Mark Roberson, Chief Executive
Officer. “We are seeing a strong recovery in the theatrical
exhibition industry and believe that the rebound is just getting
started, given that the studios are planning for one of the busiest
years ever in 2022. During COVID, we strengthened our position in
the market by adding key resources, launching new products, and
enhancing important relationships in the cinema business.
Additionally, we continue to diversify the screen business with our
immersive screen products gaining traction in military and aviation
as well as amusement applications.”
“We increased our equity stakes in GreenFirst
and FGF, and we sold Convergent in early 2021, capitalizing on our
success in repositioning that business for profitability.
Subsequent to year end 2021, in March 2022, we announced the launch
of Strong Studios, adding production and content development
capabilities that we believe will serve as a valuable new growth
engine to our Entertainment business.”
Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Review
(Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2020)
● |
|
Revenue increased 68.4% to $10.0 million from $6.0 million. The
increase was primarily due to the continuing recovery in customer
demand for screens products and technical services at Strong
Entertainment as exhibitors more fully reopened and Hollywood
studios began to accelerate the release content into the theatrical
channels. |
● |
|
Gross profit was $2.1 million as compared with $2.2 million. Gross
profit margins were 21.3% as compared to 37.3%. The decrease in
gross profit margin was primarily due to product mix, as the
current quarterly period included several large distribution orders
at lower margins, whereas the prior year periods included a large
screen order, which carries higher margins. |
● |
|
Loss from operations was $1.3 million as compared to $0.9 million.
The change in operating loss, despite an increase in revenue, was
due to changes in product mix as the current period revenue
includes more lower margin distribution sales whereas the prior
period included more higher margin screen sales. |
● |
|
Net loss from continuing operations was $0.4 million, or ($0.03)
per basic and diluted share, as compared to a loss of $3.5 million,
or ($0.23) per basic and diluted share in the three months ended
December 31, 2020. The improvement in net loss from continuing
operations was the result of unrealized gains on our equity
holdings combined with more favorable equity method loss in the
current period. |
● |
|
Adjusted EBITDA was ($0.7) million as compared to ($0.3) million in
the three months ended December 31, 2020. |
Full Year 2021 Financial Review
(Compared to Full Year Ended December 31, 2020)
● |
|
Revenue increased 25.7% to $27.0 million from $21.5 million in
2020. The increase was primarily due to the continuing recovery of
the Strong Entertainment business from the impact of COVID-19 as
demand increased for services, screen systems and equipment. |
● |
|
Gross profit increased 51.8% to $8.2 million compared to $5.4
million in 2020. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased
to 30.4% during 2021 compared to 25.2% for 2020. Excluding the
impact of employee retention credits, gross profit during the year
ended December 31, 2021, gross margin would have been 25.7%, as
compared with 25.2% in the prior year. |
● |
|
Loss from operations was $3.1 million in 2021 compared to $6.7
million during 2020. The improvement in operating loss was
primarily due to improvements in the operating performance of the
Strong Entertainment segment, combined with the benefit of employee
retention credits and reductions in corporate overhead. |
● |
|
Net income from continuing operations was $3.4 million, or $0.19
per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $8.3
million, or ($0.56) per basic and diluted share for the year ended
December 31, 2020. The improvement in net income was due to a
combination of improved operating results from Strong
Entertainment, gains arising from our equity holdings and lower
corporate overhead costs. Including discontinued operations, net
income was $17.9 million, or $0.99 per diluted share. |
● |
|
Adjusted EBITDA was ($2.7) million as compared to ($4.4) million
for the year ended December 31, 2020. |

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Ballantyne Strong prepares its consolidated
financial statements in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition to disclosing
financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company
discloses information regarding Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted
EBITDA”), which differs from the commonly used EBITDA (“EBITDA”).
Adjusted EBITDA both adjusts net income (loss) to exclude income
taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, and excludes
discontinued operations, share-based compensation, impairment
charges, equity method income (loss), fair value adjustments,
severance, foreign currency transaction gains (losses),
transactional gains and expenses, gains on insurance recoveries,
certain tax credits and other cash and non-cash charges and
gains.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of
performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, Adjusted
EBITDA is used internally in planning and evaluating the Company’s
operating performance. Accordingly, management believes that
disclosure of these metrics offers investors, bankers and other
stakeholders an additional view of the Company’s operations that,
when coupled with the GAAP results, provides a more complete
understanding of the Company’s financial results.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be
considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or to net cash
from operating activities as measures of operating results or
liquidity. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies, and the measures exclude financial information that some
may consider important in evaluating the Company’s performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as
analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or
as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported
under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) they do not reflect
the Company’s cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital
expenditures or contractual commitments, (ii) they do not reflect
changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital
needs, (iii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect interest
expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or
principal payments, on the Company’s debt, (iv) although
depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets
being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in
the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash
requirements for such replacements, (v) they do not adjust for all
non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in the
Company’s statements of cash flows, (vi) they do not reflect the
impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters management
considers not to be indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations,
and (vii) other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate
these measures differently than the Company does, limiting their
usefulness as comparative measures.
Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period
by isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to
period without any correlation to core operating performance or
that vary widely among similar companies. These potential
differences may be caused by variations in capital structures
(affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on
periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net
operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities
and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). The
Company also presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because (i)
management believes these measures are frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to
evaluate companies in the Company’s industry, (ii) management
believes investors will find these measures useful in assessing the
Company’s ability to service or incur indebtedness, and (iii)
management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally as benchmarks
to evaluate the Company’s operating performance or compare the
Company’s performance to that of its competitors.

relationships or higher prices charged by suppliers; the Company’s
ability to successfully compete and introduce enhancements and new
features that achieve market acceptance and that keep pace with
technological developments; the Company’s ability to successfully
execute its capital allocation strategy or achieve the returns it
expects from these investments; the Company’s ability to maintain
its brand and reputation and retain or replace its significant

should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement
and should recognize that the statements are predictions of future
results which may not occur as anticipated. Many of the risks
listed above have been, and may further be, exacerbated by the

entertainment industry, and the worsening economic environment.
Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
the forward-looking statements and from historical results, due to
the risks and uncertainties described herein, as well as others not
now anticipated. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it
is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors,
nor can it assess the impact of all such factors on the Company’s
business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking statements. Except where required
by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update, withdraw or
revise any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or
changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking
