Moving iMage Technologies Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2023 Results

Rhea-AI Summary

Moving iMage Technologies (MITQ) announces Q4 and full-year 2023 results with double-digit revenue growth and higher gross margin. Pushouts in legacy projects and accounting write-downs negatively impact GAAP operating and net losses. Fiscal 2024 guidance targets low double-digit revenue growth and break-even on a non-GAAP basis. Multiple upside opportunities include ADA compliance product refresh, LEA Professional product sales, Esports order growth, CineQC rollout, and international sales.

Positive

• Double-digit revenue growth and higher gross margin in Q4 and FY2023
• Opportunities for growth in fiscal 2024

Negative

• Pushouts in legacy projects and accounting write-downs negatively impact GAAP losses

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Moving iMage Technologies, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: MITQ), (“MiT”), a leading technology and services company for cinema, Esports, stadiums, arenas and other out-of-home entertainment venues, today announced results for its fourth quarter and full-year ended June 30, 2023.

“We completed a solid year with double-digit revenue growth, higher gross margin and reduced non-GAAP losses,” said Phil Rafnson, chairman and chief executive officer. “Fiscal 2023 was a transition year for MiT. As the box office increased sharply, we saw the beginning of a new, multi-year technology upgrade cycle, and cinema owners continued investing in new FF&E projects. Additionally, we made meaningful progress in our strategy to transform our business with higher margin, recurring revenue technology offerings that have the potential to meaningfully accelerate revenue growth and profits over the medium to longer term.

“Additionally, our fiscal 2023 results would have been even better had we not seen approximately $3.4 million of pushouts in our legacy FF&E projects business during the second half of fiscal 2023. Pushouts are not uncommon in this part of our business, and this lumpiness is a big reason we are developing new technology offerings with recurring revenue streams. We also had roughly $1 million, or $0.09 per share, in non-recurring, non-cash year-end accounting write-downs in the fourth quarter that negatively impacted our GAAP operating and net losses.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights (versus Fiscal 2Q22)

• Revenue of $5.8 million compared to $5.6 million;
• Gross Profit of $1.4 million compared to $1.5 million; Gross Margin of 24.2%;

  • GAAP Operating loss in fiscal 2023 included ($1.0 million) in non-cash accounting write-downs;
• GAAP Net Loss and Loss per Share of ($1.3) million and ($0.12) compared to ($0.7) million and ($0.07), respectively;
• Non-GAAP Net Loss and Loss per Share of ($0.2) million and ($0.02) compared to ($0.7) million and ($0.06), respectively.

Fiscal 2024 Commentary

“Given the lumpy nature of our projects, we are approaching fiscal 2024 guidance cautiously by targeting low double-digit revenue growth from our legacy businesses while continuing to move towards break-even on a non-GAAP basis. That said, we do see multiple upside opportunities from our newer initiatives, which aren’t included in our current guidance. These include an ADA compliance product refresh at a large national circuit, recording any sales of LEA Professional products, order growth in Esports above the modest fiscal 2023 levels, National Amusements rolling out CineQC to its international locations, initial sales of MiTranslator and other international sales. Given these, we have significant opportunities to accelerate growth, and we plan to provide updates throughout the year as our growth initiatives hit milestones,” concluded Rafnson.
