Orbital Infrastructure Group Reports Full Year 2022 Results

Rhea-AI Summary

Orbital Infrastructure Group (OIG) announced its 2022 financial results, reporting a substantial revenue increase of $322.2 million compared to $82.9 million in 2021. However, the company faced a significant net loss from continuing operations of $277.9 million, up from $49.8 million in the previous year. This loss was primarily due to non-cash charges totaling $158.8 million, which included $109.6 million for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. The Adjusted EBITDA loss also widened to $40.3 million from $27.0 million in 2021, primarily impacted by losses in its renewable segment tied to utility-scale solar projects. The company utilized $19.6 million in cash for operating activities, an improvement from $45.7 million in 2021. OIG is exploring strategic alternatives but warns that completion is uncertain.

Orbital Infrastructure Group, Inc.Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations
(Unaudited)

The following table presents reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. These reconciliations are intended to provide useful information to investors and analysts as they evaluate the Company's performance. EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as loss from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as EBITDA from continuing operations adjusted for certain other items as described below. We believe that the exclusion of these items from loss from continuing operations enables management and investors to more effectively evaluate the Company's operations period over period and to identify operating trends that might not be apparent when including the excluded items. However, these measures should not be considered as an alternative to loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes or other measures of performance that are derived in accordance with GAAP.

As to certain of the items in the table below: (i) stock-based compensation and expense may vary from period to period due to fair value adjustments from changes in market conditions, forfeiture rates, accelerated vesting and the amount stock-based awards granted; (ii) acquisition costs vary from period to period depending on the level of the Company's acquisition activity; (iii) gains and losses on the disposal of assets varies from period to period depending on the utilization and condition of the Company's long-lived assets; (iv) gains and losses on extinguishment and modification of debt varies from period to period depending on changes in the Company's financing activities; and (v) gains and losses on financials instruments varies from period to period depending on changes in the market price of the Company's common stock and other factors; (vi) impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets can vary from period to period depending on changes in the Company's market capitalization, operational performance, macroeconomic conditions other factors; (vii) impairments of financed lease assets can vary from period to period depending on changes in the Company's operations and use of equipment.

Because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as defined, exclude some, but not all, items that affect loss from continuing operations, such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are included below.
