Insights

Creative Realities' Q2 2024 results show significant growth and improved financial health. Revenue increased by 43% year-over-year to $13.1 million, driven by strong demand across all business segments. The company's gross margin expanded to 51.8%, up from 46.7% in the previous year, indicating improved operational efficiency.

The refinancing with a $22.1 million revolving credit facility has strengthened the balance sheet, reducing outstanding debt to $13.8 million. The company's focus on using operating cash flow to reduce leverage is promising, with net leverage ratio improving from 2.40x to 1.58x since the beginning of 2024.

While still reporting a net loss, the company's Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 million shows a significant improvement from $0.3 million in the prior year. The growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) to $18.0 million provides a stable foundation for future growth.

Creative Realities' performance in the digital signage sector is noteworthy. The 43% revenue growth suggests strong market demand for digital media solutions. The increase in hardware revenue from $3.4 million to $5.0 million indicates successful product offerings, while service revenue growth from $5.8 million to $8.1 million points to effective client engagement and solution delivery.

The rise in software subscription run-rates, leading to a record ARR of $18.0 million, demonstrates the company's success in transitioning to a recurring revenue model. This shift is important in the tech industry, providing more stable and predictable income streams.

The implementation of a new ERP system, while temporarily increasing costs, should lead to improved operational efficiency in the long term. This investment in infrastructure positions the company well for scalable growth in the competitive digital signage market.

43% Year-over-Year Top Line Growth; Refinancing Complete

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Creative Realities, Inc. (“Creative Realities,” “CRI,” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CREX), a leading provider of digital signage and media solutions, today announced its financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Highlights:

  • Record second quarter revenue of $13.1 million, up 43% from $9.2 million in the prior-year period
  • Gross profit of $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 versus $4.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023
  • Adjusted EBITDA* of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2024 versus $0.3 million in the prior-year period
  • Annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) of approximately $18.0 million at the end of the second quarter versus $17.7 million as of March 31, 2024
  • On May 28, Creative Realities completed the previously-announced agreement with First Merchants Bank (“FMB”) for a $22.1 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a $5 million accordion feature; the Revolver was used to pay off all of the Company’s $13.6 million of existing indebtedness

“Second quarter results exceeded the first, as momentum and accelerating demand continue to drive us towards a solid finish for fiscal 2024,” said Rick Mills, Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue grew 43% year-over-year, reflecting positive trends across all parts of the business, and gross margins rose to 51.8% as we realized economies of scale and improved asset utilization. At the same time, our annual recurring revenue climbed to approximately $18.0 million at the end of the quarter – positioning us well to reach prior guidance – and the Company generated over $2 million of operating cash during the period.

“We also completed our previously-announced debt refinancing in May, consisting of a $22.1 million Revolver with a $5 million accordion, ending the quarter with $13.8 million in debt. We remain committed to a strategy of using operating cash flow to reduce overall indebtedness and strengthen the balance sheet, leading to reduced leverage and increased financial flexibility to explore strategic transactions. We’re well on our way to record performance this year, with the tools in place for even greater results – and increased shareholder value – heading into fiscal 2025 and beyond.”

2024 Second Quarter Financial Results
Sales were $13.1 million for the fiscal 2024 second quarter, an increase of $3.9 million, or 43%, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2023. Hardware revenue was $5.0 million, versus $3.4 million in the prior-year period, while service revenue rose to $8.1 million from $5.8 million in fiscal 2023. Both areas of the business saw substantial growth year-over-year due to strong demand and higher installations.

Consolidated gross profit was $6.8 million for the fiscal 2024 second quarter versus $4.3 million in the prior-year period, and consolidated gross margin was 51.8% versus 46.7% in the fiscal 2023 second quarter. Gross margin on hardware revenue was 30.1% in fiscal 2024 as compared to 20.7% in the prior-year period, reflecting improved economies of scale. Gross margin on service amounted to 65.2%, versus 62.3% in the fiscal 2023 second quarter. The Company anticipates further margin expansion as revenue expands more quickly than the associated cost of deployment and support of those enhanced levels of revenue. Software subscription run-rates continued to rise, and the Company ended the quarter with record ARR of approximately $18.0 million on an annualized run rate.

Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter rose to $1.7 million, versus $1.2 million in the prior-year period, reflecting enhanced investment in business development activities. Second quarter general and administrative expenses were $4.5 million, up from $3.8 in fiscal 2023, primarily reflecting increases in deployment personnel and the implementation of a new ERP system. The Company anticipates these costs to trend lower as it enters calendar 2025 and sunsets legacy applications for which activities have been or will be migrated to the new infrastructure and applications.

The Company posted operating income of approximately $0.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to an operating loss of $0.7 million in fiscal 2023. CRI reported a net loss of $0.6 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2024 versus a net loss of $1.4 million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA (defined later in this release) was $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $0.3 million in the prior-year period.

Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $4.1 million, versus $2.9 million at December 31, 2023. The Company had outstanding debt of approximately $13.8 million as of June 30, 2024 versus $15.1 million at the start of the fiscal year and, as of the date of this release, the Company’s net debt was approximately $9.8 million. Following the refinancing of its debt during the quarter, CRI continued to pay down its revolving credit facility with a focus to lower the Company’s leverage ratio. As of the end of the second quarter, the trailing twelve-month gross and net leverage ratios utilizing Adjusted EBTIDA were 2.25x and 1.58x, respectively, versus 2.97x and 2.40x at the beginning of 2024. Net debt is equal to the Company’s outstanding debt less cash on hand.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Creative Realities, Inc. 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 “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA.” CRI defines “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangibles. CRI defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, fair value adjustments and both cash and non-cash non-recurring gains and charges. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are 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 used in operating activities as measures of operating results or liquidity. Our 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. A reconciliation of GAAP net income/(loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is included in the accompanying financial schedules. For further information, please refer to Creative Realities, Inc.’s filings available online at www.sec.gov, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2024.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP NET LOSS TO ADJUSTED EBITDA
(in thousands, unaudited)

Creative Realities, Inc. 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 “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA.” CRI defines “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangibles. CRI defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, fair value adjustments and both cash and non-cash non-recurring gains and charges.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of CRI’s profitability or liquidity. CRI’s management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful financial metrics because they allow external users of CRI’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to more effectively evaluate CRI’s operating performance, compare the results of its operations from period to period and against CRI’s peers without regard to CRI’s financing methods, hedging positions or capital structure and because it highlights trends in CRI’s business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures. CRI also presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important supplemental measures of its performance that are frequently used by others in evaluating companies in its industry. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA CRI presents may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from net loss, CRI’s most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
