CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2020 (this “Quarterly Report”) are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “outlook,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “can,” the negatives thereof, variations thereon and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based on certain estimates, beliefs, expectations and assumptions made in light of management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that may be appropriate.

Forward-looking statements necessarily involve unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Due to the risks, uncertainties and assumptions inherent in forward-looking information, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects include, but are not limited to, the severity and duration of the coronavirus COVID-19(“COVID-19”) pandemic and related economic repercussions and other risks described under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and applicable securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada (the “Annual Report on Form10-K”), and in this Quarterly Report under “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.” These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

competition in and changes to the interior construction industry;

 

global economic, political, health and social conditions and financial markets, including those related to pandemics;pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic;

the condition and changing trends of the overall construction industry;

 

our reliance on our network of Distribution Partners (as defined herein) for sales, marketing and installation of our solutions;

 

our ability to maintain and manage growth effectively;

 

our ability to introduce new designs, solutions and technology and gain client and market acceptance;

 

loss of our key executives;

 

labor overcapacity or shortages and disruptions in our manufacturing facilities;

 

product liability, product defects and warranty claims brought against us;

 

defects in our designing and manufacturing software;

 

infringement on our patents and other intellectual property;

 

cyber-attacks and other security breaches of our information and technology systems;

 

material fluctuations of commodity prices, including raw materials;

 

shortages of supplies or disruptions in the supply chain of certain key components and materials;

 

our ability to balance capacity within our existing manufacturing facilities;

 

our exposure to currency exchange rate,rates, tax raterates and other fluctuations that result from general economic conditions and changes in laws;

 

ii


legal and regulatory proceedings brought against us;

 

the availability of capital or financing on acceptable terms, which may impair our ability to make investments in the business; and

 

other factors and risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report filed on Form10-K.

These risks are not exhaustive. Because of these risks and other risks and uncertainties, our actual results, performance or achievement, or industry results, may be materially different from the anticipated or estimated results discussed in the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors nor can we assess the effects of all 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, or implied by, any forward-looking statements. Our past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of our future results. You should not relyplace undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which represent our beliefs, assumptions and estimates only as of the dates on which they were made, as predictions of future events. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even though circumstances may change in the future, except as required under applicable securities laws. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

DIRTT’s common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “DRT” and on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “DRTT”.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form10-Q and Article 10 of RegulationS-X and, accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, the Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31,June 30, 2020, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2019, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K10-K. of the Company as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As described in Note 4, theThe Company adopted new accounting standards relating to credit losses and cloud computing effective January 1, 2020. TheFurther information on these standards and the impact on the Company of these standards have beenis described in Note 4.

In these Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. DIRTT’s financial results are consolidated in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional currency, and the Company has adopted the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency. All references to US$ or $ are to U.S. dollars and references to C$ are to Canadian dollars.

Principles of consolidation

The Financial Statements include the accounts of DIRTT and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances, income and expenses, unrealized gains and losses and dividends resulting from intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Basis of measurement

These Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments and certain components of stock-based compensation that are measured at fair value. Historical cost

is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The Company’s quarterly tax provision is based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate.

Seasonality

Sales of the Company’s products are driven by consumer and industrial demand for interior construction solutions. The timing of customer’s construction projects can be influenced by a number of factors including the prevailing economic climate and weather.

3.COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the coronavirus(“COVID-19”)COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization and has had extraordinary and rapid negative impacts on global societies, workplaces, economies and health systems. The impact ofCOVID-19 on DIRTT’s business in the near andmid-term is highlyremains uncertain. Stay at home policies in multiple jurisdictions combined withThe resulting adverse economic conditions are expected to negatively impact construction activity in the near term at the very least, with potential significant negative impacts extending to the endfirst half of 20202021 and beyond.

While many construction sites remain open and re-opening strategies have been implemented across North America, certain projects currently underway are experiencing delays, impacted by both the implementation of social distancing and other safety related measures.measures and the re-emergence of COVID-19 in certain geographic areas. The timing and pace of economic recovery, or the resumption of construction activity and related demand, is not possible to predict nor its impact on achievement of DIRTT’s business objectives.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty can be found in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. TheCOVID-19 outbreak has increased the complexity of estimates and assumptions used to prepare the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, particularly related to the following key sources of estimation uncertainty:

Credit risk

COVID-19 may cause DIRTT’s Distribution Partners to experience liquidity issues and this may result in higher expected credit losses or slower collections. Management estimated the impact at March 31, 2020 of expected credit losses and have increased the provision by $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2020 (see Note 5). Management will continue to reassess forward looking information and the impact ofCOVID-19 on Distribution Partners in subsequent periods and the estimation of such credit losses is complex because of limited historical precedent for the current economic situation. In addition, we acquired trade credit insurance effective April 1, 2020.

Liquidity risk

The Company may have lower cash flows from operating activities available to service debts due to lower sales or collections. Information about our credit facilities is presented in Note 6.

Government subsidies

As part of the Canadian federal government’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, the Canadian government established the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”). As originally implemented, the CEWS provides the Company with a taxable subsidy of up to 75% of wages paid to Canadian employees during the periods extending from March 15, 2020 to June 6, 2020 (subsequently extended to August 29, 2020), provided that certain Canadian-sourced revenues decline by over 15 – 30%, computed generally on the basis of monthly revenues year-over-year during the available periods.

The Company reviews its eligibility for the CEWS for each qualifying period. The Company accounts for such government subsidies on an accrual basis when the conditions for eligibility are met. The Company has adopted an accounting policy to present government subsidies as other income. An optional accounting policy would be to net consideration received with the related expenses on the statement of operations.

Impairment

At March 31,June 30, 2020, our market capitalization was less than the book value of our equity which is ana potential indicator of impairment. ManagementFor the first quarter of 2020, management compared forecasted undiscounted cash flows to the book values ofnon-current assets and determined an impairment provision was not required. At June 30, 2020 management determined an impairment provision was not required at March 31, 2020.as our outlook had improved since our initial assessment and our share price has increased. The impact ofCOVID-19 on DIRTT’s Distribution Partners or the Company’s operations may change cash flows and impact the recoverability of our assets.assets in the future. Furthermore,COVID-19 is aand its related economic and social impacts are rapidly evolving situation and may have an impact onaffect our ability to accurately use historical sales trends and cash flows to forecast future results leading to additional estimation uncertainty with respect to impairment testing.

Deferred tax assets (“DTA”)

The Company’s ability to generate future taxable income may be impacted byCOVID-19 which creates additional uncertainty regarding the recoverability of DTAs. To the extent additional taxable losses are generated, this may present significant unfavorable evidence of recoverability of DTAs and require the Company to recognize valuation allowances against DTA.

4. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASUNo. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326):Measurement of Credit Losses in Financial Instruments” and the subsequent amendments to the initial guidance issued in April 2019 within ASUNo. 2019-04, May 2019 within ASUNo. 2019-05 and February 2020 within ASUNo. 2020-02 (“ASU 326”). These ASUs replace the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables andheld-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies tooff-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on Leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting foravailable-for-sale debt securities.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company, and no adjustment was required to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract” which amends ASC350-40,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other –Internal-Use Software” (“ASU2018-15”). ASU2018-15 clarifies that if a company has the contractual right to take possession of the hosted software at any time during the hosting period without incurring a significant penalty and if a company can feasibly run the software on its own hardware or contract with a third party unrelated to the vendor to host the software, the arrangement is not impacted by ASU2018-15. If both these conditions are not met, ASU2018-15 deems the hosting arrangement to be a service contract. The capitalization criteria for implementation costs of a service contract are consistent with the requirements of ASC350-40 and impairment will be assessed consistent with policies applied to long lived assets. However, these capitalized implementation costs will be amortized over the life of the hosting arrangement and will be classified in the balance sheet and statement of operations in the same lines where software license costs are accounted for.

The Company adopted this amendment using the prospective transition approach, and no adjustments were required as a result of adoption.

5. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not require collateral and do not bear interest. The Company estimates an allowance for credit losses using the lifetime expected credit loss at each measurement date taking into account historical credit loss experience as well as forward-looking information in order to establish rates for each class of financial receivable with similar risk characteristics. Adjustments to this estimate are recognized in the statement of operations.

In order to manage and assess our risk, management maintains credit policies that include regular review of credit limits of individual receivables and systematic monitoring of aging of trade receivables and the financial wellbeing of our customers. The majorityIn addition, we acquired trade credit insurance effective April 1, 2020. At June 30, 2020, approximately 80% of our trade accounts receivable are insured, relating to accounts receivables from counterparties deemed creditworthy by the insurer and excluding accounts receivable from government entities, that have arisen since April 1, 2020. Our trade balances are spread over a broad Distribution Partner base, which is geographically dispersed. No Distribution Partner accounts for greater than 10% of revenue. In addition, and where possible, we collect a 50% deposit on sales, excluding government and certain other clients.

The Company’s aged receivables were as follows:

Due to the uncertainties associated with the COVID 19 pandemic as well as the disruption to businesses in North America, the overall credit quality of certain receivables has declined at March 31, 2020 compared to January 1, 2020. As a result of this consideration and the Company’s ongoing review of the credit quality of receivables, expected credit losses were increased by $0.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. No further adjustments to our expected credit losses were required at June 30, 2020.

6. LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER LIABILITIES

On July 19, 2019, the Company entered into a C$50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “RBC Facility”) with the Royal Bank of Canada (the “RBC Facility”( “RBC”). The RBC Facility has a three-year term and can be extended for up to two additional years at the Company’s option. Interest is calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate with no adjustment, or the bankers’ acceptance rate plus 125 basis points. The RBC Facility is subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15:1 and a maximum debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.0:1 (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization,non-cash stock-based compensation, plus or minus extraordinary or unusualnon-recurring revenue or expenses) calculated on a trailing four quarter basis (the “Covenants”).

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company entered into a letter agreement with RBC (the “Letter Agreement”). Under the Letter Agreement, the Covenants are waived for the period April 1 to September 30, 2020 (the “Covenant Holiday Period”). During the Covenant Holiday Period, the Company is able to borrow to a maximum of 75% of eligible accounts receivable and 25% of eligible inventory, less priority payables, subject to an aggregate limit of C$50.0 million including amounts borrowed under Leasing Facilities (as defined herein). During the Covenant Holiday Period the Company is required to maintain a cash balance of $10.0 million if no loans are drawn under the facility, have Adjusted EBITDA of not less than a loss of $7.0 and $16.5 million for the twelve month periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2020, and make capital expenditures of no more than $10.7 million during the Covenant Holiday Period. As at March 31,June 30, 2020, the RBC Facility was undrawn and the available borrowing base was $12.8 million. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the RBC Facility andas at June 30, 2020.

During the available borrowing base was C$30.0 million.

Subsequent to March 31,three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company entered into a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada and a $16.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States (the “Leasing Facilities”), which are available for equipment expenditures and certain equipment expenditures already incurred. The Leasing Facilities, respectively, have seven and five-year terms and bear interest at 4.25% and 3.5%. The U.S. leasing facility is extendible for an additional year.

As at June 30, 2020, the Company received C$3.6 million ($2.6 million) of cash consideration under the leasing facility in Canada and commenced the lease term for the Canadian equipment expenditures. The associated financial liability is shown on the consolidated balance sheet in other current and other long-term liabilities. The Leasing Facilities are accounted for as finance leases as ownership of the equipment is expected to return to the Company at the end of the lease term. These transactions are not accounted for as a sale of the underlying equipment as the Company continues to control the equipment.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In May 2020, shareholders approved the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 LTIP”) at the annual and special meeting of shareholders. The 2020 LTIP gives the Company the ability to award options, share appreciation rights, restricted share units, restricted shares, dividend equivalent rights granted in connection with restricted share units, vested share awards, and other share-based awards and cash awards to eligible employees, officers, consultants and directors of the Company and its affiliates. In accordance with the 2020 LTIP, the sum of (i) 5,850,000 common shares plus (ii) the number of common shares subject to stock options previously granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) that, following May 22, 2020, expire or are cancelled or terminated without having been exercised in full have been reserved for issuance under the 2020 LTIP. As at June 30, 2020, 3,188,123 common shares were available for issuance under the 2020 LTIP.

The Company also maintains the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Deferred Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors pursuant to which deferred share units (“DSUs”) are granted to the Company’s non-employee directors.

Prior to the approval of the 2020 LTIP, the Company granted awards of options under the Stock Option Plan and awards of performance share units (“PSUs”) under the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Performance Share Unit Plan (the “PSU Plan”). Following the approval of the 2020 LTIP, no further awards will be made under either the Stock Option Plan or the PSU Plan, but both remain in place to govern the terms of any awards that were granted pursuant to such plans and remain outstanding.

Stock Options

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $0.7 million (2019 – $6.3 million expense). During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, the Company

accounted for the fair value of outstanding stock options at the end of the reporting period as a liability, with changes in the liability recorded through net income as a stock-based compensation fair value adjustment (“cash-settlement”). On October 9, 2019, following its listing on Nasdaq, the Company ceased cash-settlement of stock options and the associated liability accounting for stock options. For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, the Company paid $0.8$2.6 million and $3.4 million respectively on the surrender of cash settled stock options.

Performance share units (“PSUs”)PSUs

As at March 31,June 30, 2020, there were 197,471 PSUs outstanding (December 31, 2019 – 223,052) accounted for at a value of $0.01$0.02 million (December 31, 2019 – $0.02$0.2 million) which is included in other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet.

Deferred share units (“DSUs”)DSUs

As at March 31,June 30, 2020, there were 216,512290,730 DSUs outstanding (December 31, 2019 – 132,597) accounted for at a value of $0.2$0.4 million, which is included in current portion of other liabilities on the balance sheet (December 31, 2019 – $0.4 million).

RSUs

On June 17, 2020, the Company granted 2,578,971 RSUs. Of the RSUs granted, 2,378,971 RSUs have an aggregate time-based vesting period of three years and vest one third every year over a three-year period from the date of grant. At the end of a three-year term, the RSUs will be settled by way of the provision of cash or shares to employees (or a combination thereof), at the discretion of the Company. The fair value of the RSUs was determined to be C$1.89, which was the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date.

Of the RSUs granted, 200,000 RSUs were granted to an executive with service and performance-based conditions for vesting (the “Performance RSUs”). If the Company’s share price increases to C$3.00 for 20 consecutive trading days within three years of the grant date, then 50% (100,000) of the Performance RSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period. If the Company’s share price increases to C$4.00 for 20 consecutive trading days within three years of the grant date, 100% (200,000) of the Performance RSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period. If the Company’s share price increases to C$6.00 for 20 consecutive trading days within three years of the grant date, then 150% (300,000) of the Performance RSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period. The grant date fair value of the Performance RSUs were valued using the Monte Carlo valuation method and determined to have a weighted average grant date fair value of C$1.70.

Dilutive instruments

For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, 5.6 million stock options (2019 – 5.91.1 million and 4.2 million) and nil and 2.7 million RSUs (2019 – nil) respectively, were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of common shares calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive to the net lossincome (loss) per share.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing in this Quarterly Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations and estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

We have revised our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit,non-GAAP financial measures, for the presented periods compared to the comparable prior period.periods. For additional information, see “–Non-GAAP Financial Measures – EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019.” and “–Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019.”

Summary of Financial Results

 

RevenuesRevenue for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2020 were $41.0was $42.2 million, a decline of $24.1$21.9 million or 37%34% from $65.1$64.1 million for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2019. Revenue decreased by 36% to $83.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $129.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We believe the decline is principally related to the ongoing effects of disruptions in our sales activity levels stemming from the transitional state of our commercial function as we implement our strategic plan.plan combined with project delays or deferrals due mainly to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on construction schedules.

 

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2020 was $11.3$14.2 million or 27.6%33.7% of revenue, a decline of $12.3$10.2 million or 52% 42%from $23.6$24.4 million or 36.3%38.1% of revenue for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2019. Gross profit margin decreased to 30.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 37.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This reduction was attributable to our decline in revenues and the impact of fixed costs on lower revenues. The firstrevenues and during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $0.5 million and $1.0 million of severance costs, respectively, offset by a $1.2 million timber provision reversal in the second quarter of 2020, following the validation of an in situ remediation solution that enabled us to meet certain building code specifications under which certain projects were sold, thereby significantly reducing the prior estimated timber liability. Additionally, the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 includes $1.5include $0.5 million and $2.0 million of costs, respectively, incurred to mitigate future tile warping.

 

Adjusted Gross Profit (see “–Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2020 was $15.6$16.1 million or 38.0%38.2% of revenue, a $10.2$10.9 million or 40% decline from $25.8$27.0 million or 39.6%42.1% of revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2019June 30, 2019. Adjusted Gross Profit (see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the abovesix months ended June 30, 2020 was $31.7 million or 38.1% of revenue, a $21.1 million or 40% decline from $52.8 million or 40.9% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Declines in Adjusted Gross Profit for both periods are for the reasons noted reasons.above. Excluded from Adjusted Gross Profit in the six months ended June 30, 2020 are $2.0 million of overhead costs associated with operating at lower than normal capacity levels, which were charged directly and separately to cost of sales rather than as a cost attributable to production. Between January and April, 2020, we reduced our manufacturing workforce by 25% to bring labor capacity in line with expected ongoing requirements.current activity levels.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $0.3 million, compared to net income of $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net income is attributable to the above noted reduction in gross profit and a $0.5 million increase in foreign exchange loss, partially offset by a $2.5 million reduction in operating expenses and $4.3 million of government subsidies. The reduction in operating expenses reflects lower commissions on reduced sales activities, the combination of $1.3 million of costs related to our sales and marketing plan and $0.4 million of costs related to the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq in 2019 that did not recur, other cost reductions both deliberate and as a consequence of the pandemic, offset by higher legal costs of $0.9 million and an increase in stock based compensation of $2.1 million.

 

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $5.3 million, consistent with $5.3increased to $5.0 million for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 from $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Compared to the prior year period, the increase in net loss is attributable to the above noted reduction in gross profit, a $0.8 million increase in litigation costs and a $0.6 million increase in expected credit losses werepartially offset by a $6.0$10.5 million reduction in stock based compensation expense, a $2.6operating costs, government subsidies of $4.3 million, reduction in reorganization expenditures, a $0.8 million reduction in commission expenses, a $1.3 million recovery of income taxes, a $2.8 million net increase inincreased foreign exchange gains of $2.3 million and other operating expenditure reductions.$1.2 million of income tax recoveries.

The reduction in operating expenses reflects lower commissions on reduced sales activities, the combination of $1.3 million of costs related to our sales and marketing plan, $1.1 million related to the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq and $2.6 million of reorganization costs in 2019 that did not recur, other cost reductions both deliberate and as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and a $3.9 million decrease in stock based compensation, offset by higher legal costs of $3.0 million.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (see “–Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2020 was $0.3 million or 0.6% of revenue, a decline of $5.8 million from $6.0 million, or 9.4% of revenue, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was a $5.5$5.2 million loss or (13.4)(6.3)% of revenue, a decline of $13.2$19.0 million from $7.7$13.8 million, or 11.9%10.7% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Reductions for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 forand year-to-date periods were due to the above noted reasons. We changed our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019 to exclude the impacts of foreign exchange to improveyear-on-year comparability of Adjusted EBITDA. We also changed our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA beginning in the second quarter of 2020 to exclude the impact of government subsidies.

Outlook

On November 12, 2019, DIRTT unveiled a four-year strategic plan for the Company, based on three key pillars: commercial execution, manufacturing excellence and innovation. This plan layslaid out a roadmap to transform afounder-ledstart-upfounder-led start-up into a professionally managed operating company. Our long-term objective is to scale our operations to profitably capture the significant market opportunity created by driving conversion from conventional construction to DIRTT’s process of modular, prefabricated interiors.

In the firstsecond quarter of 2020, we continued our focus on implementing our strategic plan, including the creation of a more comprehensive and effective sales and marketing function. In March, with the onset of theCOVID-19 crisis and associated world-wide economic uncertainties, we evaluated cost control initiatives and conducted a thorough assessment ofpandemic continued to impact our financial liquidity. In response to the global pandemic, we quickly took the following series of actions:

Implemented enhanced safety protocols to protect our employees, including work-from-home policies for ournon-factory workforce, plant accessbusiness, specifically causing job site closures in certain jurisdictions, schedule delays resulting from labor restrictions and social distancing measures within our factories and establishment of contingency plans, all as recommended by local and national health authorities.

Established a Rapid Healthcare Response Team to develop and market rapid healthcare deployment solutions to meet the immediate andmid-term needs of local and regional health authorities.

Commenced evaluation of potential downside operational risk scenarios and development of action plans, including plant labor requirements, supply chain risksshortages on job sites and mitigations, and credit risk exposure.

Eliminated or deferred uncommittednon-critical or discretionary spending. This includes the deferral of many of our planned sales and marketing hires and our annual Connext tradeshow.

Began evaluation of the availability of federal aid programs.

Commenced the processproject deferrals due to secure incremental access to liquidity, including a covenant holiday on our existing credit facility to October 2020, subject to certain borrowing base calculations, and the establishment of approximately $19.6 million of equipment leasing facilities, of which $7.4 million is expected to be drawn in May.

The impact ofCOVID-19 on our business in the near andmid-term is uncertain.Stay-at-home policies in multiple jurisdictions combined with the resulting adverse economic conditions are likely to negatively impact commercial construction activity in the near term, with potential significant negative impacts extending to the end of 2020 and beyond. While many construction sites remain open across North America, several DIRTT projects currently underway are experiencing delays, impacted by the implementation of social distancing and other safety-related measures.

The pandemic-related stresses placed upon North American healthcare systems have spurred increased immediate spending but are also expected to drive ongoingmid- and long-term investments in healthcare infrastructure. With our new capabilities in sales and marketing, we were able to develop a Rapid Response Healthcare Solution quickly and increase our visibility substantially with healthcare end users. The relationships initiated during this time of crisis are an important opportunity to nurture in the post pandemic environment and our strategic plan has positioned us to do so.

We are working closely with our Distribution Partners to understand expected activity levels and are monitoring our opportunity pipeline and our daily order entry relative to our plant capacity and labor force requirements. We are also actively working to expand our distribution network, including recently bringing on strong new Distribution Partners, one in Texas and one in Wisconsin. In addition, we have been increasing our activities with general contractors and government agencies to introduce new audiences to DIRTT’s modular solutions.

Average daily orders for the month of April 2020 were slightly lower than the average daily orders experienceduncertainty. Late in the first quarter of 2020. Consequently,2020 and early in April,the second quarter of 2020, we reduced both our Savannah and Phoenix plantstook decisive actions to a single shift and further reduced production headcount in our Calgary plants. As a result of these actions and taking into account the reductions that occurred between January and April, 2020,ensure employee safety, to right-size our plant headcountlabor capacity and our overall cost structure consistent with current activity levels and to increase our available liquidity. These steps allowed us to continue moving forward with our strategic plan, while re-prioritizing the execution of certain aspects of our commercial strategy to reduce or defer specific costs and capital expenditures while still realizing the majority of the benefits derived from the plan.

Second quarter 2020 revenue of $42.2 million was slightly higher than first quarter 2020 revenue. While construction activity on existing projects has continued, the pace of construction has slowed with new social distancing and infection control requirements constraining onsite labor. As DIRTT projects are typically installed at the later stage of the construction process, these job site delays impacted our second quarter results, although the exact amount is difficult to quantify given our short lead times. We estimate approximately 25% lower than$3.7 million of projects that we were confident of second quarter delivery at December 31, 2019, whichMarch 15 were deferred to future quarters in addition to opportunities that we believe would normally have come to fruition that were delayed or deferred, the amount of which is right sized for current activity levels. We willnot possible to quantify. These delays are expected to continue to evaluate plant capacity withinimpact us through the contextremainder of daily order trends, expected revenues and forecasted demand and adjust our labor capacity upwards or downwards accordingly.

In response2020 as the industry adjusts to theCOVID-19 pandemic bothand the US and Canadian governments enacted federal aid programs, including both credit support and payroll subsidies. exact timing of the completion of these projects is uncertain.

We have determinedbelieve that the US programs,long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business have the potential to be positive, accelerating the shift to modular construction and DIRTT’s product suite. Forced reductions in their current form, are either not applicable or not beneficial. In Canada, we intend to apply for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy; however, there is uncertainty as to whether we qualify under the current enacted legislationonsite labor due to social distancing may adversely impact construction schedules and cost, accelerating the exclusiontrend towards offsite manufacturing and consolidation ofnon-arms length sales to our US subsidiary in the eligibility calculations. Therefore, there can be no assurance that our application will be accepted by the Canadian authorities nor the subsidy received.

As maintaining liquidity through this uncertain period is paramount, we are highly focused on cash conservation and conversion of working capital to cash. This includes an subtrade activities. Additionally, increased focus on accounts receivable collections. Despiteinfection control and risk mitigation in the office environment has the potential to require reduced density, increased use of private offices and other separation strategies all of which could increase the per square foot content of DIRTT solutions. At the same time, work environments will need to evolve with the circumstances potentially increasing demand for the flexibility inherent in the modular aspect of DIRTT’s offerings. We would anticipate all these factors to favorably affect our healthcare and education clients, in addition to commercial clients.

The realization of any potential benefits is uncertain and we caution that the near and mid-term impacts of COVID-19 remain highly uncertain and regionally dependent. While the re-opening of economies has commenced in many jurisdictions, the resurgence in infection rates could delay or even reverse these re-opening activities, adversely affecting interior construction activity. Our customers are taking a measured approach to modifying their offices in reaction to COVID-19, therefore any potential positive impact on our sales would be anticipated to follow that modulated timing. In addition, COVID-19 has had a negative financial impact on many healthcare organizations, potentially materially reducing their construction budgets for new facilities and facility renovations. It has also caused a pause in some building programs as healthcare providers re-examine their patient delivery models and the impact on their physical space. Educational institutions are also facing budget challenges. Finally, a decline in overall commercial construction activity from a general economic contraction could negatively impact our sales.

As the timing and pace of economic recovery and the fulsome effect of COVID-19 on the economy remains uncertain, we are actively managing our cost base. We have benefited from both deliberate cost reductions as well as deferrals that are a direct result of travel and other such shelter in place restrictions. As economies begin to reopen, we expect that we will begin to incur travel and entertainment expenditures as in-person sales activities resume, although the timing and amount of which is indeterminable at this focus,time.

Within the commercial function, we increasedcontinued to broaden our expected credit losses duringDistribution Partner network, and welcomed five new Distribution Partners in the quarter by $0.6 million to reflect increased collection risk related to certainUnited States since our last reporting date, one in each of our west, south and north east regions and two in the central region, and have ended our relationships with three underperforming Distribution Partners. In Aprilan innovative response to travel restrictions, we successfully onboarded these Distribution Partners via virtual training programs. We hosted several virtual client tours of DIRTT in June and expect to leverage these tours aggressively within the sales organization in the months to come. In Chicago, construction of our DIRTT Experience Center continued and we anticipate that it will be ready for in-person client tours, with enhanced safety protocols, in the third quarter of 2020.

From a systems perspective, we successfully rolled out phase one of our Client Relationship Management System which coincides with the launch of DIRTT’s first ever comprehensive strategic marketing campaign, “Make space for possibilitiesTM”. This campaign seeks to demonstrate how DIRTT solutions meet the evolving needs of individuals, teams and organizations seeking greater adaptability within their workplaces and real estate portfolios. We remain on schedule to deliver a total cost of ownership tool, which is expected to go live in the fourth quarter of 2020. These initiatives are expected to significantly enhance our sales efforts by demonstrating to potential end-customers DIRTT’s value proposition relative to conventional construction.

Within our manufacturing operations, our safety culture is now well ingrained resulting in a recordable incident rate for the first half of the year below 1.0 and more than 75% below industry standards. The next stage of improvement is focused on driving sustained quality improvements. We are pleased to note that we have seen continued improvements in quality and, in the second quarter of 2020, all of our plants exceeded their performance goals of a 50% reduction in deficiencies relative to 2019. We are now embarking on the process of improving the efficiency and cost effectiveness of our manufacturing operations. In the second quarter of 2020, we acquired trade credit insurance effective April 1, 2020. Net working capitalsuccessfully piloted one-piece flow manufacturing in our Savannah factory which achieved significant efficiency improvements in our aluminum frame manufacturing process. We are now expanding these processes to our other plants. We are also in the process of implementing improvements within our supply chain and procurement processes and the benefits are expected to be realized over time as at March 31, 2020 was $51.0 million ($58.6 million at December 31, 2019) and included $43.5 million of cash with no debt ($47.2 million with no debt at December 31, 2019).lower cost material flows through our raw material inventory.

At the endour South Carolina Plant, construction of the base building is largely complete and in July 2020 we received our first shipment of equipment. We expect to receive the balance of the equipment in the second half of 2020 and are on track for commissioning for this facility in the first half of 2021.

Our focus on liquidity and cash preservation has been effective. In the second quarter, we hadcompleted the definitive documentation for our previously announced six-month covenant holiday on our credit facility and drew C$303.6 million ($2.6 million) of unused capacity under our revolving credit facility. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, we entered into a7-year revolving C$5.0 million equipment capital leasethe Canadian leasing facility to fund approximately C$3.8 million of2019 Canadian equipment purchases in 2019 and future equipment purchasespurchases. In the event activity levels remain at current levels, we will likely seek an implied lease rate of 4.25%. We also entered into a5-year $16.0 million equipment capital leaseextension to the covenant holiday or replace our facility with an asset backed facility. The U.S. leasing facility will be used to fund the equipment purchases for our new South Carolina Plant, with funding of the equipment, including $4.7 million of deposits paid in 2019, now expected in the late third and fourth quarter when the equipment purchasesis delivered and deposits madeaccepted on site. We also qualified for an approximately $4.3 million taxable wage subsidy under the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy program from the Canadian government for the April to June period. Of this amount, $1.6 million was received in 2019. The facility is extendible by an additional year at our option and is at an implied lease rate of 3.5%. In addition, we reached an agreement in principle, subject to completion of final documentation, with our lender to provide near-term covenant relief on our existing revolving credit facility, modifying the borrowing base to be based on working capital subject to an aggregate cap of C$50 million including the aforementioned leasing facilities. The covenant relief extends until October 2020, at which point we will seek further relief if necessary.

While we have taken significant measures to reduceCOVID-19-related disruption risks within our plants, the pandemic highlights the risk of single plant manufacturing for our tile and millwork solutions. Accordingly,June with the establishment of the US equipment leasing facility and the increased liquidity it provides, we expect that commissioning activities for our new, highly automated South Carolina Plant’s chromacoat production line will begin in the second half of 2020. We expect commercial operations to commence in the first half of 2021. With significant automation and the US east coast location, we believe the South Carolina Plant will provide substantial improvements in cost and labor efficiency, material yield and transportation savings. The incremental cash cost of commissioning the South Carolina Plant is approximately $4 million, of which approximately $2 million isbalance expected to be fundedreceived in the third quarter. As a result, we finished the second quarter with our newnet working capital lease facility and approximately $2of $52.2 million, will be funded withincluding cash on hand. We will defer the millwork component, expectedbalances of $44.6 million, compared to cost approximately $2$51.0 million of the total $18.5net working capital including $43.5 million cost, until later in 2021.

The timing and pace of economic recovery, or the resumption of construction activity and related demand, and its effect on achievement of our long-term strategic plan is not possible to predictcash at this time. Regardless, we believe that the pandemic is likely to have major impacts on the modern workplace environment. This could lead to a reduction in open office environments and increased demand for social spacing and separation within the workplace. Alternative work arrangements, such as work from home, may become more prevalent. We strongly

believe DIRTT’s modular approach to construction, which both provides future flexibility and reduceson-site job labor, will play a meaningful role going forward and that the strategic plan we are implementing positions us to take advantage of opportunities.

Our priorities in this challenging time are straightforward. First and foremost, we believe that we are taking every precaution and making every accommodation required to keep our employees safe. We are taking steps that we believe may facilitate adequate financial liquidity to see us through to a resumption ofpre-pandemic business activity. We are managing our costs and investments prudently so that we emerge from this global pandemic a stronger company, including mitigating manufacturing risk and increasing efficiencies with continued focus on lean manufacturing and the commissioning of our new South Carolina Plant. We are also prudently moving ahead with a sales and marketing organization highly focused on execution such that whatever the timing and pace of economic recovery and related demand for our solutions, we are well positioned to capture the significant market opportunities in our sector.March 31, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Note Regarding Use ofNon-GAAP Financial Measures

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These GAAP financial statements includenon-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 Quarterly Report 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 thesenon-GAAP financial measures in its review and evaluation of the financial performance of the Company. We believe that thesenon-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 thesenon-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 and stock-based compensation. In addition, management bases certain forward-looking estimates and budgets onnon-GAAP financial measures, primarily Adjusted EBITDA.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we removed the impact of all foreign exchange from Adjusted EBITDA. Foreign exchange gains and losses can vary significantlyperiod-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. We have presented a reconciliation to our prior calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the quarters presented. Additionally, since the fourth quarter of 2019, we have excluded from Adjusted Gross Profit costs associated with under-utilized capacity. Fixed production overheads are allocated to inventory on the basis of normal capacity of the production facilities. In periods where production levels are abnormally low, unallocated overheads are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In the second quarter of 2020, we also removed the impact of government subsidies from Adjusted EBITDA.

Reorganization expenses, government subsidies, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and foreign exchange gains and losses are excluded from ournon-GAAP financial measures because management considers them to be outside of the Company’s core operating results, even though some of those 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 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 followingnon-GAAP financial measures are presented in this Quarterly Report, and a description of the calculation for each measure is included.

 

Adjusted Gross Profit, as previously presented  Gross profit before deductions for depreciation and amortization
Adjusted Gross Profit  Gross profit before deductions for costs of under-utilized capacity, depreciation and amortization
Adjusted Gross Profit Margin  Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue
EBITDA  Net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
Adjusted EBITDA, as previously presented  EBITDA adjusted fornon-cash foreign exchange gains or losses on debt revaluation; impairment expenses; stock-based compensation expense; reorganization expenses; and any othernon-core gains or losses
Adjusted EBITDA  EBITDA adjusted for foreign exchange gains or losses; impairment expenses; stock-based compensation expense; government subsidies; reorganization expenses; and any othernon-core gains or losses
Adjusted EBITDA Margin  Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue

You should carefully evaluate thesenon-GAAP financial measures, the adjustments included in them, and the reasons we consider them appropriate for analysis supplemental to our GAAP information. Each of thesenon-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 thesenon-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 thesenon-GAAP financial measures. Because thesenon-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of thesenon-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

This reflects a $10.9 million decrease in Adjusted Gross Profit and $0.9 million of higher legal costs in 2020. These reductions in Adjusted EBITDA were partially offset by reduced commissions on lower revenues and decreased spending on travel, meals and entertainment, including tradeshows due to COVID-19 related reductions as well as cost reduction initiatives. In 2019 respectively.we incurred $1.3 million of consulting costs incurred for our sales and marketing plan and $0.4 million of costs related to the listing of the Company’s common shares on Nasdaq in 2019 that did not recur in 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased to a $5.2 million loss and (6.3)% from $13.8 million and 10.7% in the same period of 2019.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin decreased to $31.7 million or 38.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $52.8 million or 40.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decreases are largely due to reduced fixed cost leverage due to a $24.1 million reductionreductions in revenues and excess labor capacity prior to headcount reductions discussed below. below combined with approximately $0.5 million and $1.0 million of related severance costs in the second quarter and year to date periods of 2020, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, we determined that we were carrying abnormal excess capacity in our manufacturing facilities as a result of the slowdown in sales and determined certain production overheads should be directly expensed in cost of sales, representing production overheads that were not attributable to production. In the first quarter of 2020, we separately classified $2.0 million as costs related to our under-utilized capacity (5% of gross profit margin) in cost of sales. During the quarter weWe took steps to manage our excess capacity, including the reduction in staffing by 14%, with a further 12% reduction in April 2020, and the undertaking of planned factory curtailments. The reduction in staffing resulted in a onetime $0.5 million cost for severances, included in cost of sales for the period ended March 31, 2020 with an additional $0.4 million incurred in April. The staffing reductions realigned our capacity with then expected activity levels; however, our fixed costs will affect our Adjusted Gross Profit Margin which we expect to remain below historical percentages until sales improve. Prospectively, we expect our fixed cost of sales to be approximately $6.0 million per quarter, and remaining costs of sales to be approximately 54% of revenues comprising materials which are variable, and labor which is quasi-variable as we match our shifts to order volumes.

Following the completion of third-party testing in 2019, we determined that timber included in certain projects installed between 2016 and 2019 potentially did not meet the fire-retardant specifications under which the projects were sold. As a result, we recorded a $2.5 million provision in the fourth quarter of 2019 and have been contacting customers to determine whether remedial actions are required. In the second quarter of 2020, we identified and validated an in-situ solution that we believe will meet the fire-retardant specification under which the projects were sold. As a result, we have reduced the associated provision to $1.2 million which represents expected costs to prepare impacted sites and apply the in-situ solution. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $0.1 million of costs associated with remediating previously installed timber projects, which were recorded against the provision.

In the first six months of 2019 we incurred approximately $2.0 million of costs, representing 1.6% of gross profit margin, to mitigate future warping of our tiles. In the first quarter of 2020 we commissioned new equipment to prime our medium density fiberboard (“MDF”). The use of primed MDF addressed the tile warping issues that occurred in late 2018 and early 2019 due to higher than expected moisture absorption. Additionally, our costs associated with remediating deficiencies decreased in the current period.

In the first quarterhalf of 2019 we incurred approximately $1.5 million of costs, representing 2.3% of gross profit margin, to mitigate future warping of our tiles. Gross profit was additionally affected by headcount additions that occurred in 2018.

Following the completion of third-party testing in 2019, we determined that timber included in certain projects installed between 2016 and 2019 potentially did not meet the fire-retardant specifications that the projects were sold under. As a result, we recorded an additional $2.5 million liability in the fourth quarter of

2019 and have been contacting customers to determine whether remedial actions are required. We continue to2020.

evaluate solutions which, if successful, could significantly reduce the associated liability. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we incurred $0.1 million of costs associated with remediating previously installed timber projects, which were recorded against the liability.

Revenue

Revenue reflects sales to our Distribution Partners for resale to their clients and, in limited circumstances, our direct sales to clients. Our revenue is generally affected by the timing of when orders are executed, particularly large orders, which can add variability to our financial results and shift revenue between quarters.

Revenue decreased in the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 by $24.1$21.9 million and $46.1 million or 37%34% and 36% respectively compared to the same periodperiods of 2019. Revenue decreased due to several factors as discussed above in “– Summary of Financial Results” and “– Outlook”. We have been subject to a disruption in sales activity levels particularly as it relates to larger projects, as discussed below, beginning in 2018 and carrying through the current quarter. This disruption stems from the distraction of significant management changes during 2018 on a long sales cycle combined with the immature and transitional state of our sales and marketing function, which limited our ability to take

advantage of growth opportunities in our market. Due to the long sales cycle, particularly for larger projects which can be two years or more, this had a corresponding negative effect on our revenue, especially in the last half of 2019 and continuing into the first half of 2020. This effect has lasted longer than we had anticipated. We are in the process of making substantial improvements to our commercial function, as outlined in our strategic plan, including building an appropriate organizational structure, improving the effectiveness of our existing sales force, attracting new sales talent, establishing strategic marketing and lead generation functions, as well as expanding and better supporting our Distribution Partner network. While we believe these actions are critical to driving long-term, sustainable growth, these actions did not have a measurable effect on 2020 revenues to date.

Our revenues were also impacted by the currentCOVID-19 pandemic. We estimate approximately $3.7 million of projects that we were highly confident of second quarter revenues.delivery at March 15 were deferred to future quarters in addition to opportunities that would normally have come to fruition that were delayed or deferred, the amount of which is not possible to quantify. These project delays were primarily a result of construction site restrictions imposed by local regulatory authorities, including the effects of social distancing measures. It is uncertain when these projects will be delivered and it is highly likely that future projects will also experience similar delays as the pandemic runs its course. While we have not experienced any material cancellations of projects that were underway, it is uncertain as to the impact of the pandemic on future projects that are either in the planning or conceptual stage. See “Risk Factors”.

Installation and other services revenue of $0.7decreased $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 was $0.5compared to the same period in 2019 and decreased $2.0 million lower thanfor the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The changes in installation revenue are primarily due to the timing of projects.projects and overall sales activity, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Except in limited circumstances, our Distribution Partners, rather than the Company, perform installation services, and accordingly, we are not anticipating significant growth in this revenue stream.

Our success is partly dependent on our ability to profitably develop our Distribution Partner network to expand our market penetration and ensure best practices are shared across local markets. At March 31, 2020 we had 78We currently have 80 Distribution Partners, servicing 93multiple locations. We recently added afive Distribution PartnerPartners, one in Dallas, Texas,each of the west, south and anorth east, and two in the central regions of the United States, and have ended our relationships with certain underperforming Distribution Partner with locations in eastern Wisconsin, and terminated two underperforming partners.Partners. Our clients, as serviced primarily through our Distribution Partners, exist within a variety of industries, including healthcare, education, financial services, government and military, manufacturing,non-profit, energy, professional services, retail, technology and hospitality.

Excludes license fees from Distribution Partners

Revenue decreased by 37%34% and 36% respectively in the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 over the same periodperiods in 2019 and was driven primarily by decreased commercial sales which reflects the disruption in sales activity levels noted above andabove. Commercial revenues were lower due to the completion of a major project in the first half of 2019 that was not replaced.replaced and the impact of COVID-19 on construction activity. Decreased healthcare sales in the first half of 2020 reflect the completion of several major healthcare projects that were not replaced in 2020 and decreased government sales, which was mainly due to the timing of certain projects.2020.

Revenue continues to be derived almost exclusively from projects in North America and predominantly from the United States, with periodic international projects from North American Distribution Partners.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.4$3.4 million and $3.7 million to $7.4$6.2 million and $13.6 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, from $7.8$9.5 million and $17.3 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019. The decrease wasdecreases were largely related to a reduction in commission expense forexpenses on lower revenues and lower travel, meals and entertainment expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 due to restrictions on travel as a result of COVID-19, the cancellation of Connext and other tradeshows as well as continued attention to cost discipline. As economies re-open, we anticipate travel and entertainment expenses to increase over current levels, the timing and amount of which, however, are indeterminate. Included in sales and marketing expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2020 on lower revenues.June 30, 2019 was $1.3 million of consulting costs related to our sales and marketing plan that did not recur in 2020.

Our sales and marketing efforts continue to focus on establishing the appropriate sales organization and personnel, significantly improving our marketing approach and driving returns on sales and marketing expenditures, as outlined in our strategic plan. However, inIn light of uncertainty caused by theCOVID-19 pandemic, we are currently evaluating the timing of planned increases to our commercial organizational headcount, prioritizinghave prioritized critical hires that are necessary to continue to advance our overall strategy, including the implementation of necessary systems and tools while ensuring appropriate cost control and cash conservation.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) increased $0.9decreased $0.7 million to $7.8$6.2 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 from $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019. InFor the first quartersix months ended June 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million to $14.0 million from $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the decrease was the result of 2020, we incurredincurring $0.9 million of higher professional fees of $0.8 million due to ongoing litigation matters. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2020 we recorded expected credit losses of $0.6 million against our accounts receivable balance.

These increases werelegal costs, offset by lower variable compensation provisions inexpense reductions, and during the current quarter. Further, in the firstsecond quarter of 2019 we incurred $0.7$0.4 million of professional fees related to the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the increase was the result of incurring $3.0 million of higher legal costs and recording a $0.6 million of expected credit losses against our accounts receivable balances. These costs were offset by expense reductions and during the six months ended June 30, 2019 we incurred $1.1 million of professional fees related to the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq.

Operations Support Expenses

Operations support expenditures include the fixed costs associated with delivery and project management of DIRTT solutions. Operations support expenses of $2.5decreased by $0.6 million to $2.3 million from $2.9 million in the first three months of 2020 were consistent with the prior year period. Operations support costs decreased $0.6 million to $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $5.4 million for the same period of 2019. In the first quarter ofthree and six months ended June 30, 2019 we incurred $0.3$0.7 million and $1.1 million of consulting costs, respectively, to assist with the rectification of the tile warping issue. Decreases in consulting costs were partially offset by increases in personnel costs due to increased headcount to better support project execution and support of our Distribution Partners.

Technology and Development Expenses

Technology and development expenses relate tonon-capitalizable costs associated with our product and software development teams and are primarily comprised of salaries and benefits of technical staff.

Technology and development expenses increased by $0.1 million to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. These increases are dueJune 30, 2020, compared to an increase in headcount offset by a $0.5$2.0 million increase in capitalized software development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020. DuringJune 30, 2019. Technology and development costs of $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2019, a higher proportion of activity was related to business process improvements thatsix months ended June 30, 2020 were not eligible for capitalization.consistent with the comparable period in 2019.

Stock-Based Compensation

In the third quarter of 2018, we determined that we no longer qualified as a Foreign Private Issuer (“FPI”) under the rules of the SEC. To minimize any undue effects on employees, our board of directors approved the availability of a cash surrender feature for certain options, including options issued under our Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan (“Option Plan”), until such time as we requalified as a FPI or we registered our common shares with the SEC. Accordingly, we accounted for the fair value of outstanding stock options at the end of March 31,June 30, 2019 as a liability, with changes in the liability recorded through net income as a stock-based compensation fair value adjustment. On October 9, 2019, we ceased allowing cash surrender of options and returned to equity accounting under the Option Plan without quarterly fair value adjustments at that date.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 was $0.5$0.4 million, compared to $6.5a $1.7 million recovery for the same period of 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, stock-based compensation was $0.9 million compared to $4.8 million for the same period of 2019. Stock-based compensation for the firstsecond quarter of 2019 included a $5.7 million fair value adjustment on cash settled stock options, as explained above.

Reorganization Expenses

In the first quarterhalf of 2019, we incurred $2.6 million of reorganization expenses, including severance payments and related legal and consulting costs associated with management and organizational changes. We do not consider current period severances related to our plant workforce to be reorganization expenses in nature.

Government Subsidies

As part of the Canadian federal government’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, the Canadian government has established the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) on April 11, 2020. Under the CEWS, the Company may be eligible for a subsidy of up to 75% of wages paid to Canadian employees to August 29, 2020, depending on the Company meeting certain revenue decline thresholds. During the quarter we received or were eligible to receive $4.3 million under the CEWS.

The Canadian government recently introduced legislation to extend the availability of CEWS through December 19, 2020, with the amount of the subsidy varying depending on the scale of the Canadian revenue decline. Under the legislation, effective July 5, 2020, the CEWS would provide the Company with a taxable subsidy for wages paid to Canadian employees of up to 60%, with the amount of the subsidy varying depending on the scale of Canadian revenue decline and the maximum subsidy being reduced from 60% over the period, provided that, through August 29th, the Company will qualify for a CEWS subsidy that is at least as generous as under the current CEWS program, Under the proposals, a top-up subsidy of up to 85% of wages paid to Canadian employees would also be available if the Company has a 3-month average revenue drop in Canadian-sourced revenue of more than 50% and certain other requirements are satisfied. We will continue to assess our eligibility on an ongoing basis for as long as the program is available.

Income Tax

The provision for income taxes is comprised of federal, state, provincial and foreign taxes based onpre-tax income. Income tax recoveryexpense for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 was $1.3$0.1 million, compared to $1.7 million for the same period of 2019 and income tax recovery for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.2 million as compared to a $0.01$1.7 million recoveryexpense for the same period of 2019. As at March 31,June 30, 2020, we had C$41.442.3 million of loss carry-forwards in Canada and none in the United States. These loss carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2030.2032.

Net LossIncome (loss)

Net income was $0.3 million or $0.00 net income per share in the second quarter of 2020, compared to net income of $2.6 million or $0.03 net income per share for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in net income is attributable to the above noted reduction in gross profit and a $0.5 million increase in foreign exchange loss, partially offset by a $2.5 million reduction in operating expenses and $4.3 million of government subsidies. The reduction in operating expenses reflects lower commissions on reduced sales activities, the combination of $1.3 million of costs related to our sales and marketing plan and $0.4 million related to the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq in 2019 that did not recur, other cost reductions both deliberate and as a consequence of the pandemic, offset by higher legal costs of $0.9 million and an increase in stock based compensation of $2.1 million.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $5.3$5.0 million or $0.06 net loss per share in the first quarter of 2020, consistent with a net loss of $5.3compared to $2.7 million or $0.06$0.03 net loss per share forin the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2019. TheCompared to the prior year period, the increase in net loss remained flat as a result of changesis attributable to the above noted reduction in gross profit, andpartially offset by a $10.5 million reduction in operating expenses as described above, offset bycosts, government subsidies of $4.3 million, increased foreign exchange gains of $2.3 million and $1.2 million of income tax

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31,June 30, 2020 totaled $43.5$44.6 million, a decrease of $3.6$2.6 million from $47.2 million at December 31, 2019.

In July 2019, we entered into a C$50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the Royal Bank of Canada (the “RBC Facility”).RBC. Draw-downs under the RBC Facility are available in both Canadian and U.S. dollars. We currently have C$30.0 million available under the RBC Facility as amounts available under the RBC Facility are limited to three times our twelve-month trailing Adjusted EBITDA, excluding certainnon-recurring items. As a result of our decline in revenues, discussed previously, and the potential impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic on our outlook, we have reached anentered into a letter agreement in principle, subjectwith RBC during the second quarter. Under the Letter Agreement, the Covenants are waived for the period April 1 to completionSeptember 30, 2020. During the Covenant Holiday Period the Company is able to borrow to a maximum of final documentation, to allow asix-month covenant holiday from the Royal Bank of Canada, which amends our borrowing base to 75% of eligible accounts receivable and 25% of eligible inventory, less priority payables, subject to an aggregate limit of C$50.0 million including amounts borrowed under leasing facilities. Subsequentthe Leasing Facilities, described below. During the Covenant Holiday Period the Company is required to March 31,maintain a cash balance of $10.0 million if no loans are drawn under the facility, have Adjusted EBITDA of not less than a loss of $7.0 million and $16.5 million for the twelve month periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2020, and make capital expenditures of no more than $10.7 million during the Covenant Holiday Period. In the event that activity levels remain at current levels, we will likely seek an extension to the Covenant Holiday Period or permanently convert or replace the RBC Facility with an asset backed facility. As at June 30, 2020, the RBC Facility was undrawn and the available borrowing base was USD $12.8 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we entered into a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada and a $16.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States, of which we expect to utilize $7.4 million in May 2020 related toare available for equipment expenditures and certain equipment expenditures already incurred. These facilities,The Leasing Facilities, respectively, have seven and five-year terms and bear interest at 4.25% and 3.5%. The U.S. leasing facility is extendible for an additional year. During the second quarter of 2020 we borrowed C$3.6 million ($2.6 million) against the Canadian Leasing Facility and we anticipate drawing on the U.S. Leasing Facility in the second half of 2020 when equipment is received at the South Carolina Plant.

In light of the uncertainty caused by the near and potentialmid-term impacts ofCOVID-19, we have evaluated multiple downside scenarios and have implemented cost control and expenditure management processes. Based on these analyses and the implementation of these spending control processes, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents combined with increased liquidity from the aforementioned leasing facilityfacilities should, except in very extreme cases,based on current activity levels, be sufficient to support ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

A prolonged and complete cessation of or sustained significant decrease in North American construction activities or a sustained economic depression and its adverse impacts on customer demand could adversely affect our liquidity. To the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents and increased liquidity from the aforementioned facilitiesLeasing Facilities are not sufficient to fund future activities, we may seek to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings. If additional funds are raised through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness may have rights that are senior to holders of our equity securities or contain instruments that may be dilutive to our existing shareholders. Any additional equity or debt financing may be dilutive to our existing shareholders.

Since our inception, we have financed operations primarily through cash flows from operations, long-term debt, and the sale of equity securities. Over the past three years, we have funded our operations and capital expenditures through a combination of cashflow from operations and cash on hand. We had no amounts outstanding under the RBC Facility and C$3.5 million outstanding under the Leasing Facilities as of March 31,June 30, 2020.

Operating Activities

Net cash flows used inprovided by operating activities was $0.8$2.4 million and $1.6 million for the first three and six months of 2020, respectively, compared to $7.4 million net cash flows provided by operating activities of $7.5 million and $14.9 million in the first three monthscorresponding periods of 2019. The decrease in cash flows from operations is largely due to a decrease in revenues and a reduction in trade accounts payables and other liabilities offset by the impact of government subsidies, increases in accounts receivable collections, offset by increases in trade accounts payable,and customer deposits and deferred revenue.

Investing Activities

WeFor the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we invested $1.7$4.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively, in property, plant and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1.4$1.8 million duringand $3.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019.respective prior year periods. The increase is primarily due to capital investments in manufacturing facilities including the South Carolina Plant. We invested $1.0$0.9 million and $1.9 million on capitalized software during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to $0.5$1.1 million and $1.6 million in the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019. The increase in the six month period ended June 30, 2020 is due to the current mix of projects undertaken by the Company and included a higher portion of efforts eligible for capitalization compared to the first quarterhalf of 2019 in which projects were related to business process improvements that were not eligible for capitalization.

Financing Activities

For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, no cashC$3.6 million ($2.6 million) was usedreceived under the equipment leasing facility in or provided by financing activities. Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019Canada discussed above and $0.1 million was $5.6 million.repaid. We repaid the balance of $5.6 million on long-term debt outstanding and related interest during the first quarter of 2019.

We currently expect to fund anticipated future investments through the combination of available cash and equipment leasing facilities. Apart from cash flow from operations, issuing equity and debt has been our primary source of capital to date. Additional debt or equity financing may be pursued in the future as we may deem appropriate. In the future, we may also use debt or pursue equity financing depending on the Company’s share price, interest rates, and nature of the investment opportunity and economic climate.

Credit Facility

At March 31, 2020, we had no amounts drawn on our RBC Facility, and we were in compliance with all covenants thereunder. We currently have C$30.0 million available under the RBC Facility as amounts available under the RBC Facility are limited to three times our twelve-month trailing Adjusted EBITDA, excluding certainnon-recurring items. As a result of our decline in revenues, discussed previously, and the potential impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic on our outlook, we have reached an agreement in principle, subject to completion of final documentation, to allow asix-month covenant holiday from the Royal Bank of Canada, which amends our borrowing base to 75% of eligible accounts receivable and 25% of inventory, subject to an aggregate limit of C$50.0 million including amounts borrowed under leasing facilities. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, we entered into a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada and a $16.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States, of which we expect to utilize $7.4 million in May 2020 related to expenditures already incurred. These facilities, respectively, have seven and five-year terms and bear interest at 4.25% and 3.5%. The U.S. leasing facility is extendible for an additional year.Facilities

On July 19, 2019, we entered into the RBC Facility, a C$50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the Royal Bank of Canada.facility. The RBC Facility has a three-year term and can be extended for up to two additional years at our option. Interest is calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate with no adjustment, or the bankers’ acceptance rate plus 125 basis points. We are required to comply with certain financial covenants under the RBC Facility, including maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15:1 and a maximum debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.0:1.1 on a trailing four quarter basis. We are also required to comply with certainnon-financial covenants, including, among other things, covenants restricting our ability to (i) dispose of our property, (ii) enter into certain transactions intended to effect or otherwise permit a material change in our corporate or capital structure, (iii) incur any debt, other than permitted debt, and (iv) permit certain encumbrances on our property. At June 30, 2020, we had no amounts drawn on our RBC Facility.

As a result of our decline in revenues, discussed previously, and the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our outlook, we entered into a Letter Agreement with RBC during the second quarter. Under the Letter Agreement, the Covenants are waived for the period April 1 to September 30, 2020. During the Covenant Holiday Period the Company is able to borrow to a maximum of 75% of eligible accounts receivable and 25% of eligible inventory, less priority

payables, subject to an aggregate limit of C$50.0 million including amounts borrowed under the Leasing Facilities. During the Covenant Holiday Period the Company is required to maintain a cash balance of $10.0 million if no loans are drawn under the facility, have Adjusted EBITDA of not less than a loss of $7.0 and $16.5 million for the twelve month periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2020, and make capital expenditures of no more than $10.7 million during the Covenant Holiday Period. In the event that activity levels remain at current levels, we will likely seek an extension to the Covenant Holiday Period or permanently convert our credit facility to replace our facility with an asset backed facility. As at June 30, 2020, the RBC Facility was undrawn and the available borrowing base was $12.8 million.

We are generally restricted from making dividends or distributions on our outstanding capital shares (other than any distribution by way of the payment of dividends by the issuance of equity securities). WeExcept during the Letter Agreement period where such distributions are prohibited, we may also declare and pay dividends to our shareholders provided that such dividends do not exceed 50% of the Free Operating Cash Flow (as defined in the RBC Facility) for the most recently completed fiscal year and meet certain other conditions. We may also make aone-time Permitted Special Distributions (as defined in the RBC Facility) provided that we maintain a minimum balance of at least C$20.0 million in our account and meet certain other conditions.

The RBC Facility is secured by substantially all of our real property located in Canada and the United States.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company entered into a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada and a $16.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States, which are available for equipment expenditures and certain equipment expenditures already incurred. The Leasing Facilities, respectively, have seven and five-year terms and bear interest at 4.25% and 3.5%. The U.S. leasing facility is extendible for an additional year. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company received C$3.6 million ($2.6 million) of cash consideration and commenced the lease term for the Canadian equipment expenditures.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Credit risk

The overall change and uncertainty in the economy as a result of theCOVID-19 pandemic has caused us to increase our expectation of credit losses during the first quarter of 2020, and additionally, we believe theCOVID-19 pandemic has affected the ability of certain Distribution Partners to pay amounts owed or owing to DIRTT due to the impact of local shut-downs on businesses in certain markets. Accordingly, we have increased our provision for expected credit losses by $0.6 million to $0.7 million during the quarter.six months ended June 30, 2020 and we have implemented trade credit insurance for eligible accounts receivables that have arisen since April 1, 2020.

Foreign exchange risk

The recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar in March, 2020, resulted in a reduction in Canadian dollar denominated revenues and a reduction in reported operating expenses, as approximately 50% of our expenditures are denominated in Canadian dollars. If the foreign exchange rate moves in the opposite direction it will have a negative impact on our reported results.

Other than the above, there have been no material changes to our market risk exposures since our disclosures in our Annual Report on Form10-K. For information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, please refer to Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form10-K.

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,June 30, 2020. Based upon their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

As previously reported in our AnnualDuring the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form10-K,10-Q, on December 11, 2019, we filed a federal lawsuitno legal proceedings were commenced, and there were no material developments in the U.S. District Court of Utah against Falkbuilt Ltd. (“Falkbuilt”), Falk Mountain States, LLC, Kristy Henderson, and former DIRTT employee Lance Henderson (the “U.S. Defendants”). This action seeks to restrain the defendants from misappropriating DIRTT’s confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information, and using that information to advance Falkbuilt’s U.S. businessesalready-pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the detrimentbusiness, to which the Company is a party or of DIRTT. On March 12, 2020, the U.S. District Courtwhich any of Utah issued an order granting DIRTT’s motion for a preliminary injunction to preserve the status quo, which preliminary injunctionits property is binding on the U.S. Defendants and all then-current and future Falkbuilt “Branches” in the United States. The preliminary injunction (i) enjoins the U.S. Defendants and the Falkbuilt “Branches” from using, relying upon, disclosing, disseminating, deleting or disposing of any DIRTT confidential or proprietary information in their possession, custody or control, and (ii) remains in effect until such time as it is modified or vacated by the U.S. District Court of Utah. DIRTT is currently pursuing discovery to enforce the injunction and its claims. On February 5, 2020, Falkbuilt filed its answer to our U.S. claim, together with a counterclaim (which it amended on March 18, 2020) alleging defamation and intentional interference with economic relations. Falkbuilt is seeking damages in excess of $3.0 million, plus punitive damages. DIRTT has moved to dismiss the amended counterclaim. We believe Falkbuilt’s claim is without merit and we intend to defend it vigorously and continue to pursue our legal remedies against the U.S. Defendants.

We may, from time to time, become involved in other legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including the initiation and defense of proceedings to protect intellectual property rights, product liability claims and employment claims. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. In the opinion of our management, none of the pending litigation, disputes or claims against us will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.subject.

 

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form10-K, which could materially affect our businesses, financial condition, or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth could be harmed by the effects of theCOVID-19 pandemic.

TheCOVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected, and may continue to negatively affect, our operations, including our revenue, expenses, collectability of accounts receivables and other amounts owed, capital expenditures, liquidity, prospects, and overall financial condition. We are subject to risks related to the public health crises such as the global pandemic associated with the coronavirus(COVID-19). In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared theCOVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Further, the President of the United States declared theCOVID-19 pandemic a national emergency. In Canada and the United States, numerous state, local, and provincial jurisdictions, including Alberta, Canada, where our headquarters and a principal manufacturing facility are located, and Phoenix, Arizona and Savannah, Georgia, where our other principal manufacturing facilities are located, have imposed, and others in the future may impose,“shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread ofCOVID-19. Such orders or restrictions, and the perception that such orders or restrictions could occur, have resulted in business closures, work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, work-from-home policies, travel restrictions, construction delays and stoppages and cancellation of events, among other effects, thereby negatively affecting our employees, customers, suppliers, Distribution Partners, and offices, among others.

We have responded to theCOVID-19 pandemic by, among other things, implementing enhanced safety protocols to protect our employees; commencing an evaluation of potential downside operational risk scenarios and developing action plans; eliminating or deferring uncommittednon-critical or discretionary spending; and commencing the process to secure additional incremental access to liquidity. Due to theshelter-in-place orders in Canada and the United States, we have implemented work-from-home policies for manynon-factory employees as well as plant access restrictions and social-distancing measures within our facilities, which may affect productivity and disrupt our business operations, including our ability to maintain operations, financial reporting systems, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.Shelter-in-place policies in multiple jurisdictions combined with the resulting adverse economic conditions are expected to adversely affect construction activity in the near term, with potential significant adverse effects extending beyond 2020. For example, several projects currently underway are experiencing delay, impacted by both the implementation of social distancing and other safety-related measures. We also believe that theCOVID-19 pandemic may have significant influence on future workplace environments, with increasing focus on workplace safety. This could lead to a reduction in open office environments and increased demand for social spacing and separation within the workplace, which may benefit our business. On the other hand, if alternative work arrangements, such as work from home, become more prevalent, demand for our products may decrease. Continuedshelter-in-place orders, quarantines, executive orders or related measures to combat the spread ofCOVID-19, as well as perceived need by individuals to continue such practices, could harm our near- and long-term results of operations and revenue, business and financial condition.

In addition, theCOVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our plans to grow our business. For example, in light of the uncertainty caused by theCOVID-19 pandemic and logistical challenges of hiring and onboarding, we are evaluating our priorities and are phasing the planned increases to our commercial organizational headcount needed to strengthen our sales and marketing efforts to implement our strategic plan. We have also further reduced our manufacturing labor force and have reduced shifts at our manufacturing facilities.

Adverse economic and market conditions could also have a negative effect on others on whom our business depends, such as our suppliers, Distribution Partners, customers, and third-party contractors, which may cause them to fail to meet their obligations to us. Additionally, we are working closely with our Distribution Partners to understand expected activity levels and are actively monitoring our opportunity pipeline and our daily order entry relative to our plant capacity and labor force requirements. However, we believe theCOVID-19 pandemic has affected the ability of certain Distribution Partners to pay amounts owed or owing to us due to the impact of local shut-downs on businesses in certain markets. We increased our expected credit losses for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 by $0.6 million to reflect increased collection risk related to certain Distribution Partners. We are also exploringimplemented methods to further decrease our credit risk exposure, including implementing trade credit insurance for all sales post March,eligible accounts receivables that have arisen since April 1, 2020.

While the potential economic impact brought by and the duration ofCOVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, the pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread ofCOVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common shares. Further, a recession or prolonged economic contraction could also harm the business and results of operations of our customers and Distribution Partners, resulting in potential business closures and layoffs of employees. The timing and pace of economic recovery, the resumption of construction activity and related demand, or its effect on achievement of our long-term strategic plan goals is not possible to predict.

TheCOVID-19 pandemic continues to change rapidly. The extent of the impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic on our business and our financial and operational performance is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread, severity, and any recurrence of theCOVID-19 pandemic; the duration and scope of related federal, state, provincial and local government orders and

restrictions; the extent of the impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic on the construction market and on our Distribution Partners, customers and suppliers; and our access to capital, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.
