Insights

Digital Ally's Q2 2024 results reveal significant challenges. Overall gross profits plummeted by 91% to $242,392, primarily due to a sharp decline in the entertainment segment. The company's total revenues decreased by 32% to $5,616,235, with the entertainment segment experiencing a 47% drop.

The company's cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased dramatically from 67% to 96%, indicating severe margin pressure. While selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 46%, this wasn't enough to offset the revenue decline, resulting in an operating loss of $3,914,221.

The company's focus on "right-sizing" its entertainment segment and working towards profitability is evident, but it's coming at the cost of substantial revenue declines. The deferred revenue balance of $10.1 million is a positive sign, suggesting potential future revenue recognition. However, the company's overall financial health remains precarious, with significant challenges ahead in turning around its performance.

The company's recent legal and financial maneuvers raise some concerns. The amended Note Purchase Agreement with Mosh Man, increases the principal amount from $1,425,000 to $1,725,000, with stringent repayment terms. This includes a $150,000 payment by July 26, 2024 and the requirement to sell the company office building.

The sale of the office building, completed on August 12, 2024, appears to be a move to meet these obligations. However, the terms of the Letter Agreement, including potential penalties and the requirement for the Purchaser to be party to any extraordinary capital receipts, suggest significant financial pressure.

The proposed business combination with Clover Leaf Capital Corp. through a Form S-4 filing is a major development. While this could provide new opportunities, it also introduces complex legal and regulatory requirements. Shareholders should carefully review the proxy statement for full details on the transaction and its implications.

Digital Ally's market position appears to be weakening across its segments. In the video solutions segment, new products like EVO-HD and FirstVu Pro are gaining traction, but not enough to offset overall declines. The entertainment segment, including TicketSmarter, saw a dramatic 47% revenue drop, indicating significant market challenges.

The revenue cycle management segment through Nobility Healthcare is showing some resilience but still experienced a 9% revenue decrease. The acquisition of Country Stampede and launch of KustomTickets.com suggest attempts to diversify and strengthen the entertainment portfolio.

The planned separation of Digital Ally and Kustom Entertainment could provide more focused strategies for each entity. However, the current financial strain may limit the company's ability to invest in growth initiatives. The market will likely view these results negatively, questioning the company's ability to compete effectively in its chosen sectors without significant restructuring or capital infusion.

LENEXA, Kansas, Aug. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Ally, Inc. (Nasdaq: DGLY) (the “Company” or “our”), today announced its operating results for the second quarter of 2024. An investor conference call is scheduled for 11:15 a.m. EDT on Monday, August 19, 2024 (see details below).

Highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024

Overall gross profits for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $242,392, a decrease of $2,494,648, or (91%), as compared to $2,737,040 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The overall decrease is attributable to the decrease in gross profit for the entertainment segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 along with a decrease in the overall cost of sales as a percentage of overall revenues to 96% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 67% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Our goal is to continue to improve our margins over the longer term based on the expected margins generated by our new recent revenue cycle management and entertainment operating segments together with our video solutions operating segment and its expected margins from our EVO-HD, DVM-800, VuLink, FirstVu Pro, FirstVu II, ShieldTM disinfectants and our cloud evidence storage and management offering, provided that they gain traction in the marketplace. In addition, if revenues from the video solutions segment increase, we will seek to further improve our margins from this segment through expansion and increased efficiency utilizing fixed manufacturing overhead components. We plan to continue our initiative to more efficiently management of our supply chain through outsourcing production, quantity purchases and more effective purchasing practices.
  
Total revenues decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $5,616,235 from $8,279,632 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 a deterioration of $2,663,397 (32%). The primary reason for the overall revenue decrease is a decrease of $2,189,059 (47%) in total revenue for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 at the entertainment operating segment. The Video Solutions and Revenue Cycle Management operating segments experienced slight revenue decreases as well during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
  
On September 1, 2021, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, TicketSmarter, Inc., through which the Company completed the acquisition of Goody Tickets, LLC (“Goody Tickets”) and TicketSmarter, LLC (“TicketSmarter”) (collectively the “TicketSmarter Acquisition”). Goody Tickets and TicketSmarter®, are ticket resale marketplaces with seats offered at over 125,000 live events, offering over 48 million tickets for sale through its TicketSmarter.com platform. Within this entertainment segment, the Company also formed Kustom 440, Inc. (“Kustom 440”) in late 2022 to create unique entertainment experiences through concerts, festivals, and private experiences. This segment generated revenues totaling $2,466,211 in service and product revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $2,189,059,, or (47%), as compared to $4,655,270 in service and product revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is largely due to management’s focus on right-sizing the entertainment segment, and working towards profitability; thus, decreasing marketing expenses, directly correlating to a decrease in revenues.

We remain in the revenue cycle management business through the formation of our wholly owned subsidiary, Digital Ally Healthcare, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiary Nobility Healthcare, LLC (“Nobility Healthcare”). Nobility Healthcare completed its first acquisition on June 30, 2021, when it acquired a private medical billing company, and a second acquisition on August 31, 2021 upon the completion of its acquisition of another private medical billing company. On January 1, 2022, Nobility Healthcare completed the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of a private dental billing company. Additionally, on February 1, 2022, Nobility Healthcare also completed an asset purchase for a portfolio of a medical billing company. These acquisitions further enhanced the Company’s revenue cycle management operating segment, which provides revenue cycle management solutions to medium to large healthcare organizations throughout the country. The compilation of acquisitions generated service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $1,564,354, a decrease of $160,418, or (9%), as compared to $1,724,772 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
  
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $4,156,613, a decrease of $3,521,131, or (46%), as compared to $7,677,744 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in new sponsorships being entered into by the Company.
  
On March 1, 2024, Kustom 440, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with JC Entertainment, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“JC Entertainment”). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Kustom 440 acquired certain assets associated with a music entertainment event (“Country Stampede”), including all intellectual property arising out of and relating to Country Stampede and certain contracts in which JC Entertainment is a party to host and operate the 2024 Country Stampede.
