Insights

The reported revenue decline of 11.8% for the quarter and 13.1% for the year, coupled with an increase in net loss of 37.1% for the quarter, is a notable concern for stakeholders. This contraction in revenue and widening of losses may indicate operational challenges or a contraction in market demand. It is essential to scrutinize the company's cost structures, operational efficiencies and market positioning to understand the underlying causes. The Adjusted EBITDA decrease of 23.5% for the quarter is significant, as EBITDA is often used as an indicator of a company's financial performance and its ability to generate cash flow.

INNOVATE Corp's diversified portfolio includes infrastructure, life sciences and broadcasting segments, which can typically offer stability against market volatility. However, the segment-specific performances show variability, with Infrastructure reporting strong results, while the overall company performance declines. The strategic focus on ATSC 3.0 in Spectrum Broadcasting could provide new revenue streams but is still in the 'early innings' and thus its future contribution to the bottom line remains uncertain. Understanding the competitive landscape and consumer trends within each segment is crucial for forecasting the company's potential for recovery and growth.

The Life Sciences segment's mention of strong North America unit sales and 'significant milestones' suggests progress, but without specific data, the impact on the financials is unclear. MediBeacon and R2's achievements could be pivotal if they translate into successful product commercialization and market penetration. The clinical and regulatory milestones, especially for companies in life sciences, can have substantial effects on investor confidence and the company's valuation, pending further details on these developments.

- Infrastructure: DBM Global achieved fourth quarter revenue of $353.8 million -
- Life Sciences: R2 experienced strong North America unit sales in the fourth quarter -
- Spectrum: Broadcasting entered into agreements with PBS stations for new commercial opportunities with ATSC 3.0 -

Commentary
“2023 was another successful year for INNOVATE, with a number of exciting developments across the three operating segments,” said Avie Glazer, Chairman of INNOVATE. “The Infrastructure segment continues to deliver strong results and finished the year with Net Income of $28.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $100.6 million. At Life Sciences, MediBeacon and R2 achieved significant milestones in 2023. And at Spectrum, our refocused strategy is in the early innings and we remain excited about the future growth prospects in that business.”

“We are pleased with INNOVATE's 2023 results,” said Paul Voigt, INNOVATE's interim CEO. “Despite a challenging market backdrop, DBM delivered strong results while expanding margin throughout the year. At Pansend, MediBeacon made significant progress towards FDA approval, while R2 has experienced strong North America unit sales growth. Finally, Broadcasting launched new networks, is entering into agreements with public broadcast networks and are actively exploring broadcasting 5G opportunities in the United States.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights

Infrastructure

  • DBM Global Inc. ("DBMG") reported fourth quarter 2023 revenue of $353.8 million, a decrease of 10.9%, compared to $397.3 million in the prior year quarter. Net Income was $8.9 million, compared to $5.9 million for the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $30.0 million from $32.7 million in the prior year quarter.
  • DBM Global grew gross margin to 16.4% in the fourth quarter, an expansion of approximately 200 basis points year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA margin to 8.5% in the fourth quarter, an expansion of approximately 25 basis points year-over-year.
  • The tightening in the credit markets continued to impact the commercial space, however, DBM remained focused on protecting margins and delivered sequential Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion for the last three quarters in 2023.
  • DBM Global’s reported backlog and adjusted backlog, which takes into consideration awarded but not yet signed contracts, was $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2023, respectively, compared to reported and adjusted backlog of $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2022.

Life Sciences

  • R2 Technologies, Inc. ("R2") once again achieved record growth in North America for both system sales and number of patients treated.
  • R2 sold out of all Glacial fx inventory in the fourth quarter.
  • R2 received market approval in Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates ("UAE").
  • MediBeacon remains optimistic regarding the FDA approval as it continues to answer outstanding questions from the FDA. As these final questions are resolved, MediBeacon’s goal is to achieve full FDA approval status and gain agreement on product labeling in 2024.
  • On November 30, 2023, the Company sold a portion of its ownership in Triple Ring and received $5.0 million in cash proceeds and shares of Scaled Cell valued at $0.9 million.

Spectrum

  • Gaining considerable traction with new network launches across the platform as evidenced by the launch of FreeTV and three large sport networks.
  • Entered into agreements with PBS stations to provide ATSC 3.0 "lighthousing" along with commercial joint ventures in datacasting and other areas.
  • Actively exploring 5G broadcasting opportunities in the U.S. and have filled an application with the Federal Communications Commission to convert an existing station to 5G broadcast in order to participate in Phase 2 proof of concept.
  • For the fourth quarter of 2023, Broadcasting reported revenue of $5.7 million, compared to $10.7 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by the elimination of advertising revenues at Azteca America network ("Azteca"), which ceased operations on December 31, 2022. This was partially offset by an increase in station revenues, which launched new markets and networks with its customers during 2023.
  • For the fourth quarter of 2023, Broadcasting reported a Net Loss of $5.4 million compared to $2.8 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.1 million, compared to $2.5 million in the prior year quarter.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue: For the fourth quarter of 2023, INNOVATE's consolidated revenue was $361.0 million, a decrease of 11.8%, compared to $409.3 million for the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by our Infrastructure segment, and, to a lesser extent, our Spectrum segment. The decline at our Infrastructure segment was driven by timing and size of projects, mostly from DBMG's commercial structural steel fabrication and erection business, which was partially offset by increases at the industrial maintenance and repair business and at Banker Steel, while revenues at our Spectrum segment decreased primarily as a result of the termination of HC2 Network, Inc. ("Network") and its associated Azteca content on December 31, 2022.

  • Net Loss: For the fourth quarter of 2023, INNOVATE reported a Net Loss attributable to common stockholders of $9.6 million, or $0.12 per fully diluted share, compared to a Net Loss of $7.0 million, or $0.09 per fully diluted share, for the prior year quarter. The increase in Net Loss was primarily due to an increase in interest expense from higher interest rates, increased amortization of debt issuance costs on the debt, and higher outstanding principal balances at all segments, as a result of new debt issued subsequent to the comparable period, an increase in net loss from our Life Sciences segment primarily as a result of higher equity method losses recognized from Pansend's investment in MediBeacon due to additional investments during 2023, which resulted in previously suspended losses being recognized as the investment's carrying amount was reduced to zero, an increase in net loss from our Spectrum segment related to a one-time benefit from the termination of Azteca in the comparable period, an increase in tax expense as a result of current state tax expense at certain tax paying entities due to increase in taxable income, an increase in net loss from our Other segment as a result of a write-off of prepaid rent, and an impairment of leasehold improvements as a result of unutilized space at our Non-Operating Corporate segment. The increase in Net Loss was partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), and decrease in depreciation and amortization. The overall decrease in SG&A was primarily driven by the unrepeated internal operational restructuring project in the comparable period at our Infrastructure segment, as well as decreases in SG&A at our Non-Operating Corporate segment and our Life Sciences segment driven primarily by R2 as a result of cost reduction initiatives. The overall decrease in depreciation and amortization was driven by Banker Steel, as certain intangibles were fully amortized subsequent to the comparable period.

  • Adjusted EBITDA: For the fourth quarter of 2023, total Adjusted EBITDA, was $21.5 million, compared to total Adjusted EBITDA of $28.1 million for the prior year quarter. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by an increase in recurring SG&A expenses at our Infrastructure segment and by our Life Sciences segment primarily as a result of higher equity method losses recognized from Pansend's investment in MediBeacon due to additional investments during 2023 resulting in previously suspended losses being recognized as the investment's carrying amount was reduced to zero. Additionally contributing to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was our Spectrum segment as a result of a one-time benefit from the termination of Azteca in the comparable period and by our Other segment from the elimination of equity method income from our investment in HMN, which was sold on March 6, 2023. The decrease was partially offset by our Non-Operating Corporate segment due to a decrease in SG&A expenses and our Life Sciences segment driven by R2 due to a decrease in SG&A expenses as a result of cost reduction initiatives.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, INNOVATE refers to certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Total Adjusted EBITDA (excluding discontinued operations, if applicable) and Adjusted EBITDA for its operating segments. In addition, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, which could limit its usefulness.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with meaningful information for gaining an understanding of our results as it is frequently used by the financial community to provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and the other items listed in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA below can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt. While management believes that non-U.S. GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our U.S. GAAP financial results. Using Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure has inherent limitations as an analytical tool as compared to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial measures, as this non-GAAP measure excludes certain items, including items that are recurring in nature, which may be meaningful to investors. As a result of the exclusions, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) or other U.S. GAAP financial measures as a measure of our operating performance.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of Net income (loss) attributable to INNOVATE Corp., excluding discontinued operations, if applicable; depreciation and amortization; other operating (income) loss, which is inclusive of (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets, lease termination costs, asset impairment expense and FCC reimbursements; interest expense; other (income) expense, net; income tax expense (benefit); non-controlling interest; share-based compensation expense; legacy accounts receivable expense; restructuring and exit costs; and acquisition and disposition costs.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This press release contains, and certain oral statements made by our representatives from time to time may contain, "forward-looking statements." Generally, forward-looking statements include information describing actions, events, results, strategies and expectations and are generally identifiable by use of the words “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “might,” or “continues” or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and inherently involve certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements in this press release include, without limitation, any statements regarding INNOVATE’s plans and expectations for future growth and ability to capitalize on potential opportunities, the achievement of INNOVATE’s strategic objectives, expectations for performance of new projects and realization of revenue from the backlog at DBM Global, anticipated success from the continued sale of new products in the Life Sciences segment, anticipated developments regarding the FDA approval process at MediBeacon, anticipated performance of new channels and LPTV frequencies, expanded uses for LPTV channels in the Spectrum segment and the deployment of datacasting, anticipated agreements in the Spectrum segment with public broadcast networks, anticipated 5G broadcasting opportunities in the Spectrum segment, anticipated developments regarding Federal Communications Commission approval to convert existing station to 5G broadcast, our intentions to regain compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards, and changes in macroeconomic and market conditions and market volatility (including developments and volatility arising from the COVID-19 pandemic), including interest rates, the value of securities and other financial assets, and the impact of such changes and volatility on INNOVATE’s financial position. Such statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of INNOVATE’s management and the management of INNOVATE’s subsidiaries and portfolio companies.

The Company believes these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance, results or the creation of stockholder value and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative, including those that may be identified in subsequent statements and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including in our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K. Such important factors include, without limitation: our dependence on distributions from our subsidiaries to fund our operations and payments on our obligations; the impact on our business and financial condition of our substantial indebtedness and the significant additional indebtedness and other financing obligations we may incur; our dependence on key personnel; volatility in the trading price of our common stock; the impact of recent supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and increases in overall price levels, including in transportation costs; interest rate environment; developments relating to the ongoing hostilities in Ukraine and Israel; increased competition in the markets in which our operating segments conduct their businesses; our ability to successfully identify any strategic acquisitions or business opportunities; uncertain global economic conditions in the markets in which our operating segments conduct their businesses; changes in regulations and tax laws; covenant noncompliance risk; tax consequences associated with our acquisition, holding and disposition of target companies and assets; the ability of our operating segments to attract and retain customers; our expectations regarding the timing, extent and effectiveness of our cost reduction initiatives and management’s ability to moderate or control discretionary spending; our expectations and timing with respect to any strategic dispositions and sales of our operating subsidiaries, or businesses; the possibility of indemnification claims arising out of divestitures of businesses; and our possible inability to raise additional capital when needed or refinance our existing debt, on attractive terms, or at all.

Although INNOVATE believes its expectations and assumptions regarding its future operating performance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the expectations reflected herein will be achieved. These risks and other important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, and our other reports filed with the SEC could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this press release.

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to INNOVATE or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and unless legally required, INNOVATE undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
