Financial view
We don't know the results for Q4 2022 yet, so here we can take a look at the outlook through the eyes of analysts 👉 For the full year 2022, analysts expect revenue growth of $250 million and adjusted EBITDA of $26 million.
- If this prediction comes true, it will mean that the company continues to gradually improve its numbers from year to year.
The revenue growth here is quite dramatic, with 2015 revenue at just $3.37m, while we're talking $185m in 2021, and with 2022 expectations of $250m.
But as I mention at the beginning, small-cap companies are often unprofitable. So when we look at operating income, we still see negative numbers, which was probably impacted by covid and online homeschooling, which hurt the company's results in the short term, but now things are starting to stabilize again.
- Currently, Boxlight Corporation is investing in expanding its business and developing new products and technologies to increase its sales and improve its profitability.
- Debt-to-equity for the three months ended September 30, 2022 carried a value of 0.94.
Boxlight Corporation currently has sufficient funds to meet its short-term obligations and debt repayments. At the same time, the company has sufficient cash and also has a revolving credit facility, which could support the company's future growth.
What is a revolving credit facility? 🚨
Revolving credit is usually provided by banks or other financial institutions and is often used by entrepreneurs or companies to finance operating expenses, purchase inventory or invest in new projects. Borrowers pay interest rates on the amounts they borrow and are usually required to make minimum payments each month.
Revolving credit is usually more flexible than traditional loans because lenders can borrow and repay money according to their needs.
Because of the unprofitability, it is clear that ROA, ROE and ROI are still negative (but there is a gradual improvement over the years).
A look at the results for Q3 2022
- Revenue up 12.7% to $68.7 million
- Net income per diluted common share improved $0.02 to $0.03
- Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.7 million to $9.9 million
- Ended the quarter with $22.0 million in cash, $62.3 million in working capital and $46.8 million in stockholders' equity
Additionally, the company disclosed 👇
- Expect Q4 2022 revenue of $48 million and adjusted EBITDA of $2 million
- Expect full year 2022 revenue of $227 million and adjusted EBITDA of $18 million
We will report Q4 2022 results on March 16, 2023.
In closing, I'm not invested in this company, I only decided to take a look at it because I spotted a rather popular Twitter page discussing ''top ideas for small-cap'' stocks, and it was the $BOXL tip that came up. After a closer look, I liked the company for its focus, but it's still a story to watch, I don't see it as an investment yet, it would be a fairly risky growth speculation, and we've already seen some bounce (over 100% growth) in the last month.
