DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (“DIRTT”, the “Company”, “we”,
“our”, “us” or “ours”) (TSX: DRT; OTC: DRTTF), a leader in
industrialized construction, today announced its financial results
for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024. All
financial information in this news release is presented in U.S.
dollars, unless otherwise stated.
Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights and
Recent Developments
- Revenue of $48.9 million, a
decrease of $2.0 million or 4% from the same period in 2023, and a
$5.5 million or 13% increase from the third quarter of 2024. Our
annual revenue of $174.3 million was in line with the expected
guidance range of $165–$175 million provided in the second quarter
of 2024.
- Gross profit and gross profit
margin improved to $17.5 million or 35.9% of revenue in the fourth
quarter of 2024 from $19.2 million or 37.8% of revenue in the same
period of 2023.
- Net income after tax and net income
margin for the quarter of $4.0 million and 8.3%, respectively,
compared to a net income after tax of $1.0 million and a net income
margin of 1.9% in the fourth quarter of 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $5.5 million
(11.2% of revenue), compared to $4.3 million (8.5% of revenue) in
the fourth quarter of 2023. Our annual Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $15.4
million exceeded the guidance range provided in the second quarter
of 2024 of $12–$15 million.
- Liquidity, comprising of cash
equivalents and available borrowings, increased to $39.3 million at
December 31, 2024 compared to $34.3 million at September 30, 2024
and $35.0 million at December 31, 2023.
- On November 26, 2024, the Company
announced that Holly Hess Groos joined the Board of Directors and
was appointed as the Chair of the Audit Committee.
- On December 18, 2024, the Company
announced a normal course issuer bid for its common shares (the
“Shares NCIB”), which commenced on December 20, 2024 and will
terminate no later than December 19, 2025. The Shares NCIB permits
DIRTT to acquire up to 7,515,233 of its common shares. All
purchases will be made on the open market through the facilities of
the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) at the market price of common
shares at the time of acquisition. Any common shares acquired
through the Shares NCIB will be immediately cancelled.
- On February 5, 2025, the US
District Court for the Northern District of Utah redirected DIRTT’s
lawsuit against Falkbuilt Ltd. (“Falkbuilt”) in Utah on procedural
grounds to Canada. In DIRTT’s similar lawsuit against Falkbuilt in
Canada, the Court of King's Bench of Alberta has scheduled an
eight-week trial to commence February 2, 2026. With the Canadian
trial commencing less than a year away, DIRTT is pursuing damages
and losses it suffered in Canada, the United States, and abroad in
the Court of King's Bench of Alberta.
- On February 13, 2025, the Company
entered into a share repurchase agreement with NGEN III, LP
(“NGEN”), pursuant to which the Company purchased for cancellation
3,920,844 common shares of DIRTT that were held by NGEN at a
purchase price of $0.80 per NGEN Share (the “Share Repurchase”).
The purchase price of $0.80 per share was a 1% discount to the
market price on January 27, 2025. The common shares repurchased
under the Share Repurchase were counted against DIRTT’s annual
normal course issuer bid share limit, which is 3,422,494 common
shares following the Share Repurchase. The Share Repurchase closed
on February 14, 2025.
- On February 20, 2025, the Company
extended its credit facility with the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”)
to November 30, 2025 (the “RBC Facility”). As part of the
extension, the borrowing base maximum has been increased from C$15
million to C$25 million. In addition, the RBC Facility includes a
C$5 million letter of credit facility guaranteed by the Export
Development of Canada. Pursuant to an agreement between RBC, the
Company and a surety company, the Company now has access to a $15
million bonding facility, subject to an individual maximum of $5
million. Under the terms of the facility with the surety company,
any bonds issued will be secured through letters of credit issued
through the RBC Facility.

Management Commentary
Benjamin Urban, chief executive officer,
remarked “In early January, we finalized our 2025 budget, which
includes investing in our commercial organization, innovation,
talent and our proprietary software, ICE. We believe the risk of
tariffs and pressure on construction in North America further
solidifies our value propositions and the reasons to build with
DIRTT. Additionally, we are pleased to have a trial date for the
Falkbuilt Litigation of February 2, 2026. With the trial less than
a year away, DIRTT is pursuing damages and losses suffered in
Canada, the United States, and abroad in the Court of King's Bench
of Alberta. The Canadian Court will determine whether Falkbuilt,
Mogens Smed, Barrie Loberg and others wrongfully caused DIRTT to
suffer damages, which could exceed $50 million. We are confident in
the strength of our case.”
Fareeha Khan, chief financial officer, added
“Our annual revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1) results were on the
higher end of the guidance range we provided in the second quarter
of 2024. During 2024, we decreased our long-term debt by over 50%;
at December 31, 2024, our cash balances exceeded our long-term debt
balance. We are focused on continuing to strengthen our balance
sheet and on increasing shareholder value. Looking to 2025, our
focus is to execute our strategy and to be prepared in the
eventuality of potential tariffs and related cautionary
macroeconomic scenarios.”
Fourth Quarter 2024 Results
Fourth quarter 2024 revenue was $48.9 million, a
decrease of $2.0 million, or 4% from $50.9 million for the same
period in 2023. The decrease in revenue, as compared to the same
period of 2023, was primarily the result of a higher volume of
large projects completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. Full year
2024 revenue was in line with the expected guidance range of $165
million to $175 million provided in the second quarter of 2024.
Gross profit and gross profit margin for the
quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $17.5 million or 35.9% of
revenue, a decrease from $19.2 million or 37.8% of revenue for the
same period of 2023. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross
Profit Margin (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) was $19.0 million
or 38.8% of revenue. This represents a decrease from $20.1 million
or 39.5% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023. These decreases
in Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are the result of lower revenues
and a $0.7 million increase to our inventory obsolescence
provision.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $1.2
million to $5.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024,
from $6.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The
decrease was driven by a $0.5 million decrease in salaries and
benefits costs due to lower headcount, a $0.5 million decrease in
commissions as a result of lower revenue and a $0.3 million
decrease in building expenses, offset by a $0.1 million increase in
other individual costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased by
$0.5 million to $5.1 million for the quarter ended December 31,
2024, from $5.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
The decrease was driven by a $0.4 million decrease in costs of our
facilities, a $0.4 million decrease in office costs and a $0.1
million decrease in salaries and benefits costs, offset by a $0.5
million increase in professional services costs related to the
Shares NCIB as well as higher litigation costs.
Operations support expenses decreased by $0.4
million from $2.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023,
to $1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. This
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and benefits
costs.
Technology and development expenses decreased by
$0.5 million to $1.3 million for the quarter ended December 31,
2024, from $1.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023,
primarily related to decreased salaries and benefits costs during
the fourth quarter of 2024.
Stock-based compensation expense for the three
months ended December 31, 2024 was $1.1 million compared to $(0.2)
million in the same period of 2023. The increase in this expense
was largely due to a higher number of restricted share units
(“RSUs”) outstanding in 2024 compared to 2023 as well as higher
share prices throughout the year at times of grant of RSUs and
deferred share units.
Foreign exchange gain for the three months ended
December 31, 2024 was $2.1 million compared to a loss of $0.6
million in the same period of 2023, due to the weakening of the
Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. Approximately 60% of
the Company’s costs are incurred in Canadian dollars.
Interest expense decreased by $0.8 million from
$1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 to $0.5 million for the
fourth quarter of 2024. This decrease is largely due to repayment
of debt throughout the year ended December 31, 2024.
Net income after tax for the fourth quarter of
2024 was $4.0 million compared to a $1.0 million net income after
tax for the same period of 2023. The increase in net income is
primarily the result of a $2.0 million decrease in operating
expenses (significantly, operating expenses in the fourth quarter
of 2023 included a $0.8 million impairment charge on the Rock Hill
facility which was not repeated in the fourth quarter of 2024), a
$2.6 million increase in foreign exchange gain, a $0.8 million
decrease in interest expense and a $0.3 million decrease in tax
expense. These benefits were offset by a $1.7 million decrease in
gross profit, and a $1.0 million decrease of gain on sale of
software and patents which resulted from the completion of the
knowledge transfer to Armstrong World Industries that occurred in
the fourth quarter of 2023 and was not repeated in 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA (see “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures”) for the quarter was $5.5 million, an improvement of $1.2
million from $4.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted
EBITDA Margin (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the quarter
was 11.2% of revenue, an improvement of 2.7% from 8.5% of revenue
for the fourth quarter of 2023. Improvements in Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the quarter were due to the above noted
reasons.
Outlook
The segment of construction that DIRTT operates
in represents a $40 billion addressable market with increasing
expansion opportunities. DIRTT continues to capture more market
share by solving construction’s key challenges through innovative
product development, technology-enabled efficiency, and a
simplified installation process. Adoption of offsite, prefabricated
construction is accelerating due to sustainability goals, trade
labor shortages, and rising costs. DIRTT pioneered its unique
construction method over 20 years ago and remains able to deliver
schedule acceleration, cost certainty, unlimited aesthetic
customization, and an end product that can be repurposed and reused
to minimize waste. Everything we manufacture is de-mountable and
infinitely re-configurable to adapt to the ever-changing needs of
our customers.
Last quarter, we shared our strategic priorities
through 2027, including revenue growth, continued expansion of
DIRTT’s proprietary ICE software, accelerated innovation, and
investment in talent. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we continued
mapping our path to growth with a focus on innovating how we go to
market. Our primary source of revenue remains our extensive network
of independent DIRTT Construction Partners (“Construction Partners”
or “Partners”). While we continue to develop and expand this
network, including advancing 15 Partners to a higher status tier in
2025, we are also mapping additional growth paths to unlock greater
pipeline. For example, we believe there are geographic areas of
North America that lack sufficient coverage by our existing network
into which we can expand and we are also expanding our offering to
include more estimating, pre-construction, and installation
services, both directly and through Partners. In 2024, we launched
an additional go-to-market channel called Integrated Solutions.
This team provides sales, design, estimating, and project delivery
services with our Construction Partners and DIRTT sales
representatives. Integrated Solutions increases our sales network’s
capacity as well as targets revenues in channels without existing
coverage. There are three key opportunity areas Integrated
Solutions is focusing on; diversifying our customer profile,
increasing volumes in smaller markets, and expanding into new
sectors. Through these efforts, Integrated Solutions aims to
simplify our go-to-market strategy and increase access to DIRTT’s
portfolio of products.
Raw material prices continue to increase and on
February 11, 2025, we announced a price increase of 5% on all
orders placed after March 18, 2025, and price adjustments on
certain products in response to market feedback and to mitigate the
impact of these rising costs.
We continue to advance our ICE offering,
including the addition of several new features that streamline
processes and reduce customer inquiries. In response to user
feedback, we optimized the ICE Manager application to improve the
interface and added an “Early Access” feature to allow beta testers
and developers to access applications for further testing and
improvement. An update in December 2024 introduced itemized part
pricing and automated casework plan details, saving DIRTT 50 to 75
hours per week in designer time and improving efficiency for
customers. We continue to evaluate artificial intelligence (“AI”)
for software development, including catalogue creation. DIRTT is
evaluating a code generative AI resource to develop a web-based
freight quoting tool, with the potential to save approximately 200
hours of development time and remove a manual touch-point for our
customers.
DIRTT has made significant strides with product
innovation and partnerships. For example, the COVE™, our low-acuity
solution for emergency departments, officially launched in November
2024 and is already earning significant industry recognition. In
addition to previously announced product awards from the 2024
Healthcare Facilities Symposium and Expo, we were recently awarded
the Gold Touchstone Award from the Center for Health Design, and
will be recognized in March at the 2025 International Summit &
Exhibition on Health Facility Planning, Design & Construction
PDC Summit. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we also released curved
solid corners for our solid wall solution, which is already seeing
strong demand with active project quotes in the market. We are also
innovating our market approach through strategic partnerships. In
December 2024, DIRTT joined the Siemen’s Xcelerator program to
further drive our digital transformation in the construction sector
by leveraging automation, Internet of Things and digital twin
technology to seamlessly connect our physical assets with their
digital counterparts. This will help enable continuous monitoring,
predictive maintenance, optimized space utilization, and enhanced
process efficiency.
We have a bold operations goal of zero defects,
missed deliveries, and workplace injuries. In 2024, DIRTT's on time
in full (OTIF) delivery performance was 99.1%, the highest in our
history. We also achieved a total recordable incident rate (TRIF)
of 0.82 for 2024, which is 80% below the industry average.
Through the fourth quarter of 2024, the US
economy continued its economic expansion post-COVID with inflation
reaching closer to the Federal Reserve 2% target. The recent pause
in interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve highlights a
commitment to reaching a 2% target. The new administration in the
United States has expressed support for deregulation, lower taxes,
and creating a favorable economic climate for businesses in
America. Return to office mandates have increased, with financial
services and technology leading the way. Additionally, a
favorable environment for mergers and acquisitions will be an
additional demand driver for interior construction. The Kastle
Systems weekly occupancy index continues to trend upwards. On the
other hand, recent reports of Department of Government Efficiency
suggests there may be decreased demand on our General Services
Administration Contract, which represented less than 0.6% of our
revenues in 2024. The impact of these various developments on our
business is uncertain.
We see continued demand growth in our healthcare
segment with national spending growing significantly since
pre-COVID and are dedicating resources to capture this trend.
Similarly, national education construction spending surpassed its
pre-COVID highs in 2024. Overall, excluding the tariff risk
described below, we are observing a supportive macro-economic
environment in the United States that we believe will support
increasing demand of our products.
The announcement in February 2025 of a 25%
tariff on all Canadian imports into the U.S., and Canada’s
subsequent announcement of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. good
imported into Canada, has created uncertainty across multiple
sectors, including the construction industry. While Canada and the
U.S. have agreed to delay the imposition of such tariffs until
March 6, 2025, the ultimate extent and duration of such tariffs is
unknown, and significant uncertainty continues to exist in respect
of future tariffs or other trade barriers in general. In addition,
on February 10, 2025, an Executive Order was issued by the White
House imposing 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum entering the U.S.,
effective March 12, 2025. As at the date hereof, the outcome and
extent of these tariffs is uncertain. 92% of DIRTT’s raw materials
are from North America, and DIRTT has manufacturing facilities both
in the U.S. and Canada. Our Canadian facilities import some raw
materials from the U.S., and our U.S. facilities import some raw
materials from Canada. While tariffs would have a cost impact on
our business, we believe our presence in both Canada and the U.S.
provides us with strategic flexibility. We have been, and continue
to be, proactively preparing for potential tariffs and we believe
that we have multiple paths to mitigate the impact of tariffs on
our business, including alternative material sourcing and
manufacturing locations.
We are maintaining our previously provided 2025
guidance, which is set forth below. Given the significant
uncertainty surrounding tariffs, our 2025 guidance may not be
realized should any significant tariff impacts arise subsequent to
the date hereof.
- 2025 Revenue: $194 to 209 million
- 2025 Adjusted EBITDA: $18 to 25 million
We finalized our 2025 budget in early January
2025. We plan to increase our capital expenditure by more than 50%
from 2024, as we continue to invest in improving efficiencies in
our plants, investing in our DXC footprint and investments in
ICE.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These GAAP
financial statements include non-cash charges and other charges and
benefits that we believe are unusual or infrequent in nature or
that we believe may make comparisons to our prior or future
performance difficult.
As a result, we also provide financial
information in this news release that is not prepared in accordance
with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the
information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these
non-GAAP financial measures in its review and evaluation of the
financial performance of the Company. We believe that these
non-GAAP financial measures also provide additional insight to
investors and securities analysts as supplemental information to
our GAAP results and as a basis to compare our financial
performance period-over-period and to compare our financial
performance with that of other companies. We believe that these
non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons of our core
operating results from period to period and to other companies by
removing the effects of our capital structure (net interest income
on cash deposits, interest expense on outstanding debt and debt
facilities, or foreign exchange movements), asset base
(depreciation and amortization), the impact of under-utilized
capacity on gross profit, tax consequences, reorganization expense,
unusual or infrequent charges or gains (such as gain on sale of
software and patents, gain on extinguishment of debt, and
impairment charges), stock-based compensation, related party
expense, and government subsidies. We remove the impact of foreign
exchange gain (loss) from Adjusted EBITDA. Foreign exchange gains
and losses can vary significantly period-to-period due to the
impact of changes in the U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rates on
foreign currency denominated monetary items on the balance sheet
and are not reflective of the underlying operations of the Company.
In periods where production levels are abnormally low, unallocated
overheads are recognized as an expense in the period in which they
are incurred. In addition, management bases certain forward-looking
estimates and budgets on non-GAAP financial measures, primarily
Adjusted EBITDA. We have not reconciled forward-looking non-GAAP
measures, including Adjusted EBITDA guidance, to its corresponding
GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty in making
accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to
non-operating income and expenditures, which are difficult to
predict and subject to change.
Government subsidies, depreciation and
amortization, stock-based compensation expense, reorganization
expense, foreign exchange gains and losses, gain on extinguishment
of debt, impairment charges, gain on sale of software and patents,
net interest income on cash deposits, interest expense on
outstanding debt and debt facilities, tax expense, and related
party expense are excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures
because management considers them to be outside of the Company’s
core operating results, even though some of those receipts and
expenses may recur, and because management believes that each of
these items can distort the trends associated with the Company’s
ongoing performance. We believe that excluding these receipts and
expenses provides investors and management with greater visibility
to the underlying performance of the business operations, enhances
consistency and comparativeness with results in prior periods that
do not, or future periods that may not, include such items, and
facilitates comparison with the results of other companies in our
industry.
The following non-GAAP financial measures are
presented in this news release, and a description of the
calculation for each measure is included.
|
|
Adjusted Gross Profit |
Gross profit before deductions for depreciation and
amortization |
|
|
Adjusted Gross Profit Margin |
Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue |
|
|
EBITDA |
Net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization |
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA |
EBITDA adjusted to remove foreign exchange gains or losses;
impairment charges; reorganization expenses; stock-based
compensation expense; government subsidies; unusual or infrequent
charges and gains such as gain on sale of software and patents and
gain on extinguishment of debt; related party expense; and any
other non-core gains or losses |
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA Margin |
Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue |
|
|
You should carefully evaluate these non-GAAP
financial measures, the adjustments included in them, and the
reasons we consider them appropriate for analysis supplemental to
our GAAP information. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has
important limitations as an analytical tool due to exclusion of
some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measures. You should not consider any of these
non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for an
analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. You should also be
aware that we may recognize income or incur expenses in the future
that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in
these non-GAAP financial measures. Because these non-GAAP financial
measures may be defined differently by other companies in our
industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies,
thereby diminishing their utility.
The following table presents a reconciliation
for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 of
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to our net income (loss) after tax, and
of Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net income (loss) margin, which are
the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods
presented:

(1) Net income (loss) after tax divided by
revenue. (2) The related party transaction is a non-recurring
transaction that is not core to our business and is excluded from
the Adjusted EBITDA calculation (refer to Note 24 of the
consolidated financial statements). (3) Reorganization expenses,
the gain on sale of software and patents, the gain on
extinguishment of convertible debt, the impairment charge on the
Rock Hill facility and government subsidies are not core to our
business and are therefore excluded from the Adjusted EBITDA
calculation (refer to Note 4, Note 5, Note 6 and Note 7 of the
consolidated financial statements).
