Strong Entertainment’s Studio Subsidiary Begins Production on First Project
Charlotte, NC, Aug. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ballantyne Strong, Inc. (NYSE American: BTN) (the “Company” or “Ballantyne Strong”) today announced operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Operational Highlights
| ● | Strong Entertainment’s business continued to strengthen as cinema audiences returned and a strong slate of studio releases fueled strong box-office performance | |
| ● | Revenue momentum continued, growing 50% for the second quarter 2022 compared to the second quarter of the prior year | |
| ● | Strong Studios commenced production of its first project, Safehaven, during second quarter 2022 | |
| ● | Registration statement filed publicly with the Securities and Exchange Commission for initial public offering of the Strong Entertainment business | |
| ● | Deployed additional capital to FG Financial Group, Inc. (FGF) equity holding by participating in common stock offering | |
“We continued to see solid growth in our Strong Entertainment business as box office revenues surged and industry confidence continued to strengthen. Our recurring monthly revenue maintenance contracts are largely back to pre-COVID levels, and we are starting to see acceleration in capital investment from our cinema partners, including laser upgrades which we believe represent a multi-year investment cycle. Also, our exciting new Strong Studios division – which adds content to our Strong Entertainment business - began production of Safehaven, its first scripted series,” commented Mark Roberson, Chief Executive Officer.
Kyle Cerminara, Chairman of The Board, commented, “Our equity holdings – all attractively positioned in growing end markets - continue to execute well. We increased our position in FG Financial, Firefly continues to expand its offering around the globe and GreenFirst Forest Products recently reported a strong first full quarter as a public company. We remain focused on executing against our strategy to drive long-term value for our shareholders.”
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Review (Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021)
| ● | Revenue increased 50.0% to $9.1 million from $6.1 million. Demand and revenue for products and services benefited from the continuing recovery in the cinema industry as restrictions eased and studios began accelerating the release of new content to the cinemas. Studios recently resumed releasing major movies to the cinemas and continue to have a backlog of content planned for release in 2022 and 2023. | |
| ● | Gross profit of $2.4 million was relatively flat compared to $2.5 million. Gross profit margins were 26.5% as compared to 40.4%. Excluding the impact of employee retention credits, which favorably impacted the prior year period, gross profit during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 would have been 26.6% as compared to 26.5% in the current period. Gross profit dollars increased 49.6% excluding the employee retention credits as revenue increased with the reopening of cinemas and entertainment venues worldwide. | |
| ● | Loss from operations was $0.9 million as compared to breakeven in the prior year. Excluding the impact of employee retention credits, which favorably impacted the prior year period, loss from operations during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 would have been $1.3 million. After excluding the prior year benefit from employee retention credits, operating results improved as a direct result of the rebound in revenues and gross margin in our Strong Entertainment business. | |
| ● | Net loss from continuing operations was $5.6 million, ($0.29) per basic and diluted share, as compared to $0.4 million, ($0.04) per basic and diluted share in the prior year. The increase in net loss from continuing operations was primarily the result of unrealized losses on our equity holdings and employee retention credits recognized in the prior year. | |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of unrealized losses on our equity holdings and employee retention credits, among other things, improved to negative $0.4 million as compared to negative $0.7 million in the prior year. |

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Ballantyne Strong 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 Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which differs from the commonly used EBITDA (“EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA both adjusts net income (loss) to exclude income taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, and excludes discontinued operations, share-based compensation, impairment charges, equity method income (loss), fair value adjustments, severance, foreign currency transaction gains (losses), transactional gains and expenses, gains on insurance recoveries, certain tax credits and other cash and non-cash charges and gains.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, Adjusted EBITDA is 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 from operating activities as measures of operating results or liquidity. The Company’s 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.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) they do not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (ii) they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs, (iii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company’s debt, (iv) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements, (v) they do not adjust for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in the Company’s statements of cash flows, (vi) they do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters management considers not to be indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations, and (vii) other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate these measures differently than the Company does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. These potential differences may be caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). The Company also presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because (i) management believes these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry, (ii) management believes investors will find these measures useful in assessing the Company’s ability to service or incur indebtedness, and (iii) management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally as benchmarks to evaluate the Company’s operating performance or compare the Company’s performance to that of its competitors.

Except where required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update, withdraw or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements.
