TransAct Technologies Reports Preliminary Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

2022 Second Quarter Net Sales of $12.6 Million, up 35% on a Year-Over-Year Basis

FST Recurring Revenue of $2.2 Million, up 5% on a Year-Over-Year Basis

FST Paid Terminals Up 38% from June 30, 2021

TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT) (“TransAct” or the “Company”), a global leader in software-driven technology and printing solutions for high-growth markets, today reported preliminary operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“The second quarter marked a return to more normalized Food Service Technology (“FST”) results, particularly in the hardware and label sales categories. Importantly, we now feel that our FST sales team is completely built out, which we believe will pay dividends in the back half of the year and beyond. After attending three important trade shows over the last several months and with our new sales leaders, we are adding quality leads and trials and building a robust pipeline,” said Bart C. Shuldman, CEO of TransAct.

Mr. Shuldman continued, “I am also particularly proud of our engineering, operations, and purchasing teams, who were tasked with finding more parts, re-designing product, and assembling as many printers as they possibly could, which they absolutely did. We began ramping up our production of POS and casino printers in May 2022, shipped many printers in June 2022 and expect near record levels of production and sales of these products in the second half of 2022, barring an unforeseen parts issue. Finally, we are also seeing excellent early results from our previously announced cost cutting initiatives, which combined with leverage from the increased production and projected revenues, we anticipate will result in the Company moving towards breakeven adjusted EBITDA as we progress through the second half of the year.”

2022 Second Quarter Conference Call and Webcast

TransAct is hosting a conference call and webcast today, August 17, 2022, beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss the Company’s preliminary second quarter 2022 results and other matters. Both the call and the webcast are open to the general public. The conference call number is 201-389-0920 and the conference ID number is 13732413 (domestic or international). Please call ten minutes prior to the presentation to ensure that you are connected.

Interested parties may also access the conference call live on the Internet at www.transact-tech.com (select “Investor Relations” followed by “Events & Presentations”). Approximately two hours after the call has concluded, an archived version of the webcast will be available for replay at the same location.

Change in Accounting Principle

Effective April 1, 2022, TransAct changed its method of inventory valuation from standard costing which approximates first-in first-out “FIFO” to the average costing methodology. The Company believes this method is preferable because it reflects a better measurement estimate of inventory cost as the Company does not perform intensive manufacturing of our finished products which are therefore better measured under average cost. In addition, the Company’s business is projected to include an increasing sales volume of software going forward, which better aligns with average costing. Comparative financial statements of prior periods have been adjusted to apply the new method retrospectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

TransAct is providing certain non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that these measures are helpful to investors and others in assessing the ongoing nature of what the Company’s management views as TransAct’s core operations. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide the Company with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide relevant and useful information to an investor evaluating the Company’s operating performance because these measures are: (i) widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items that do not reflect the Company’s ongoing operations and are excluded from the calculation of such measure; (ii) used as financial measurements by lenders and other parties to evaluate creditworthiness; and (iii) used by the Company’s management for various purposes including strategic planning and forecasting and assessing financial performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP information is not considered superior to or a substitute for, and should be read in conjunction with, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA is defined as net loss before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found attached to this release.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and is adjusted for share-based compensation. The Company adjusts EBITDA for share-based compensation because the Company considers share-based compensation to be a non-cash expense similar to depreciation and amortization. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found attached to this release.

The Company has prepared the preliminary financial information set forth below on a materially consistent basis with its historical financial information and in good faith based upon its internal reporting as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

During the course of the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company may identify items that could cause its final reported results to be materially different from the preliminary financial information set forth above. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company’s final results for this period will not differ from the preliminary financial information.

This preliminary financial information should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this preliminary financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for any future period.
