to strengthen its market position, securing new exclusive

xenon projection to laser will continue to drive industry demand,

levels, we are exciting about the next several years for our screen
and services business.
“We are also very excited about the opportunity
to scale our entertainment business and create long-term value in
the content area. With the launch of Strong Studios, we are
positioned squarely at the forefront of a streaming and exhibition
industry that is rapidly evolving.”
Kyle Cerminara, Chairman of the Board,
commented, “We believe we are building a valuable portfolio of
businesses at FG Group Holdings. We remain focused on driving
long-term value for our shareholders.”
Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Review
(Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2021)
|
● |
Revenue increased 17.4% to $11.8 million from $10.0 million.
Revenue benefited from the continuing recovery in the cinema
industry with our services business serving as the primary driver
of the revenue increase from the prior year. We have increased the
scope of our services to better support our customers and to
increase market share in cinema services. Product revenue also
increased as higher cinema screen sales during the quarter more
than offset a large digital equipment order in the fourth quarter
of 2021 that didn’t repeat in 2022. We also recognized revenue of
$0.9 million from our first project in our new Strong Studios
business during the fourth quarter of 2022. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Gross profit increased 51.8% to $3.2 million in 2022 from $2.1
million in 2021. Gross profit margins were 27.5% as compared to
21.3%. The increase in gross profit was due to increased demand and
revenue from our entertainment customers and favorable trends in
product mix. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Loss from operations was $0.4 million as compared to $1.3 million
in the prior year. Operating results improved as a direct result of
the rebound in revenues and gross margin in our Strong
Entertainment business. Those improvements were partially offset by
increases in operating expenses related to the launch of the new
Strong Studios business. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Net income from continuing operations was $1.4 million, or $0.07
per basic and diluted share, as compared to net loss from
continuing operations of $0.4 million, or $0.03 per basic and
diluted share, in the prior year. The improvement in results from
continuing operations, was primarily the result of improved results
of operations from our Strong entertainment group and more
favorable gains from our equity holdings. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Adjusted EBITDA improved to $0.6 million as compared to negative
$0.7 million in the prior year. |
Full Year 2022 Financial Review
(Compared to Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2021)
|
● |
Revenue increased 52.6% to $41.2 million from $27.0 million. The
recovery in the cinema industry progressed throughout 2022, which
resulted in increases in both product and services revenue. In
addition, increases in our market share for screens and services,
and expansion of our product offerings also contributed to the
increase. Exhibitors are in the early stages of a multi-year
upgrade cycle, transitioning their auditoriums from xenon
projection to laser projection, which helps drive demand for our
products and services. We have also increased the scope of our
services to better support our customers and to increase market
share in cinema services. We expect the upgrades from xenon to
laser to accelerate in 2023 and continue for at least the next
several years. We also recognized revenue of $0.9 million from our
first project in our new Strong Studios business during 2022. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Gross profit increased 33.0% to $10.9 million in 2022 from $8.2
million in 2021. Gross profit margins were 26.5% as compared to
30.4%. Excluding the impact of employee retention credits, which
favorably impacted the prior year period, gross profit would have
been 25.7% as compared to 26.5% in the current period. The increase
in gross profit, excluding the employee retention credits, was due
to increased demand and revenue from our entertainment
customers. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Loss from operations was $2.4 million as compared to $3.1 million
in the prior year. Excluding the impact of employee retention
credits, which favorably impacted the prior year period, loss from
operations during 2021 would have been $5.1 million. Operating
results improved as a direct result of the rebound in revenues and
gross margin in our Strong Entertainment business. Those
improvements were partially offset by increases in operating
expenses related to the launch of the new Strong Studios
business. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Net loss from continuing operations was $7.2 million, or $0.37 per
basic and diluted share, as compared to net income from continuing
operations of $3.4 million, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share in
the prior year. The increase in net loss from continuing
operations, despite the improvements in results from Strong
Entertainment’s operations, was primarily the result of recognition
of unrealized losses on our equity holdings in the current period
while the prior year period benefited from employee retention
credits and gains on equity holdings. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of losses on our equity
holdings and employee retention credits, among other things,
improved to $0.2 million as compared to negative $2.7 million in
the prior year. |

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
FG Group Holdings 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.
Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to the historical information
included herein, this press release includes forward-looking
statements, such as management’s expectations regarding its
portfolio companies, the Company’s intent to pursue an initial
public offering and separate listing of its Strong Entertainment
business, as well as future sales and financial performance, and
the production and release of content by our Strong Studios
division, which involve a number of risks and uncertainties,
including but not limited to those discussed in the “Risk Factors”
section contained in Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 to be filed with the SEC
on or about March 16, 2023, and the following risks and
uncertainties: the Company’s ability to maintain and expand its
revenue streams to compensate for the lower demand for the
Company’s digital cinema products and installation services;
potential interruptions of supplier relationships or higher prices
charged by suppliers; the Company’s ability to successfully compete
and introduce enhancements and new features that achieve market
acceptance and that keep pace with technological developments; the
Company’s ability to successfully execute its capital allocation
strategy or achieve the returns it expects from these holdings; the
Company’s ability to maintain its brand and reputation and retain
or replace its significant customers; challenges associated with
the Company’s long sales cycles; the impact of a challenging global
economic environment or a downturn in the markets; the effects of
economic, public health, and political conditions that impact
business and consumer confidence and spending, including rising
interest rates, periods of heightened inflation and market
instability, the outbreak of any highly infectious or contagious
diseases, such as COVID-19 and its variants or other health
epidemics or pandemics, and armed conflicts, such as the ongoing
military conflict in Ukraine and related sanctions; economic and
political risks of selling products in foreign countries (including
tariffs); risks of non-compliance with U.S. and foreign laws and
regulations, potential sales tax collections and claims for
uncollected amounts; cybersecurity risks and risks of damage and
interruptions of information technology systems; the Company’s
ability to retain key members of management and successfully
integrate new executives; the Company’s ability to complete
acquisitions, strategic investments, entry into new lines of
business, divestitures, mergers or other transactions on acceptable
terms, or at all; the impact of economic, public health and
political conditions on the companies in which the Company
holds equity stakes; the Company’s ability to utilize or assert its
intellectual property rights, the impact of natural disasters and
other catastrophic events, whether natural, man-made, or otherwise
(such as the outbreak of any highly infectious or contagious
diseases, or armed conflict); the adequacy of the Company’s
insurance; the impact of having a controlling stockholder and
vulnerability to fluctuation in the Company’s stock price. Given
the risks and uncertainties, readers should not place undue
reliance on any forward-looking statement and should recognize that
the statements are predictions of future results which may not
occur as anticipated. Many of the risks listed above have been, and
may further be, exacerbated by the impact of economic, public
health (such as a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic) and
political conditions (such as the military conflict in Ukraine)
that impact consumer confidence and spending, particularly in the
cinema, entertainment, and other industries in which the Company
and the companies in which the Company holds an equity stake
operate, and the worsening economic environment. Actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in the
forward-looking statements and from historical results, due to the
risks and uncertainties described herein, as well as others not now
anticipated. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is
not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor
can it assess the impact of all such factors on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements. Except where required by law, the
Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements
to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions
affecting such forward-looking statements.
