CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTSCautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 20202021 (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 Securities 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. In particular and without limitation, this Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements pertaining to the competitiveness of the Company's solutions, the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects and the financial position of the Company. 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 materialan 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”) pandemic and related economic repercussions and other risks described under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and applicable securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada on February 24, 2021 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”), as supplemented by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on May 5, 2021, and in this Quarterly Report under “Part II, Item 1A.

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 place undue reliancerely 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.

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 (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-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 June 30, 2020,2021, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2019,2020, 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, 20192020 and 20182019 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20192020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The10-K of the Company as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada. As described in Note 4, the Company adopted a new accounting standardsstandard relating to credit losses and cloud computingconvertible debentures effective January 1, 2020.2021. Further information on these standardsthis standard and the impact on the Company of these standardsthis standard is 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, 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 of COVID-19 on DIRTT’s business in the near and mid-term remains uncertain. The resulting adverse economic conditions are expected tohave negatively impactimpacted construction activity in the near term at the very least,and consequently DIRTT’s business, with potential significant negative impacts extending tothrough the first half of 2021 and potentially beyond.

While many construction sites remain open and re-opening strategies have been implemented across North America, certain projects currently underway are experiencinghave experienced delays, impacted by both the implementation of social distancing and other safety relatedsafety-related measures and the re-emergence of COVID-19 in certain geographic areas. TheIt is not possible to predict the timing and pace of economic recovery, or the resumption of delayed construction activity and related demand, nor is notit possible to predict northe impact of such developments on the Company’s ability to achieve 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. COVID-19 has increased the complexity of estimates and assumptions used to prepare the interim condensedCompany’s consolidated financial statements particularly related toand the following key sources of estimation uncertainty:

Credit risk

COVID-19 may cause DIRTT’s Distribution Partners and customers to experience liquidity issues and this may result in higher expected credit losses or slower collections. Management estimated the impact of expected credit losses and increased the provision by $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2020 (see Note 5). Management will continuehas continued to reassess the impact of COVID-19 on our Distribution Partners in subsequent periods and thePartners. The estimation of such credit losses is complex because of limited historical precedent for the current economic situation. In addition, wethe Company 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 ourcollections as a result of COVID-19. To address this risk and the uncertainty around the timing of a recovery from COVID-19, the Company issued convertible unsecured subordinated debentures in January 2021, for net proceeds of $29.5 million, and has credit facilities is presentedavailable as described 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, theThe CEWS provides the Company with a taxable subsidy in respect of up to 75%a specific portion of wages paid to Canadian employees during thequalifying periods extending from March 15, 2020 to June 6, 2020 (subsequently extended to August 29, 2020), provided thatSeptember 25, 2021 based on the percentage decline of the Company in certain of its Canadian-sourced revenues decline by over 15 – 30%, computed generally onduring each qualifying period. Pursuant to changes enacted as part of the basis2021 Canadian federal budget, the Company may be required to repay all or a portion of monthly revenues year-over-yearthe CEWS amounts received for any qualifying period commencing after June 5, 2021 where the aggregate compensation for specified executives during the available periods.

2021 calendar year exceeds the aggregate compensation for specified executives during the 2019 calendar year. The Company reviews itsCompany’s eligibility for the CEWS may change for each qualifying period and is reviewed by the Company for each qualifying period.

On November 19, 2020, the Canadian government also implemented the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (“CERS”). The CERS provides a taxable subsidy to cover eligible expenses for qualifying properties, subject to certain maximums, for qualifying periods extending from September 27, 2020 to September 25, 2021, with the amount of the subsidy based on the percentage decline of the Company in certain of its Canadian-sourced revenues in each qualifying period. The Company’s eligibility for the CERS may change for each qualifying period and is reviewed by 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.each qualifying period.


Impairment

At June 30, 2020, our market capitalization was less than the book value of our equity which is a potential indicator of impairment. For the first quarter of 2020, management compared forecasted undiscounted cash flows to the book values of non-current assets and determined an impairment provision was not required. At June 30, 20202021, management determined an impairment provision of non-current assets was not required as our outlook had improved sinceis consistent with the assumptions used in our initial assessment andimpairment test undertaken at December 31, 2020. In future periods, if our share price has increased. The impact of COVID-19 on DIRTT’s Distribution Partners or the Company’s operationsresults are less than our forecast, this conclusion may change cash flows and impact the recoverability of our assets in the future. Furthermore, COVID-19 and its related economic and social impacts are rapidly evolving and may affect our abilityneed 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 by COVID-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.revisited.

4. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

On January 1,August 5, 2020, the Company adoptedFinancial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (the “ASU”). The ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses in Financial Instrumentseliminates the beneficial conversion and the subsequent amendments to the initial guidance issued in April 2019 within ASU No. 2019-04, May 2019 within ASU No. 2019-05 and February 2020 within ASU No. 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 and held-to-maturity debt securities.cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures notamends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as insurance and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on Leases.derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accountingnew guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted earnings per share computation. The amendments in the ASU are effective for available-for-sale debt securities.fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company early adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Results for reporting periods beginning afterthis standard on January 1, 2021. The Company had 0 convertible debt instruments outstanding at December 31, 2020 and the convertible unsecured subordinated debentures issued in January 2021 have been evaluated under this new guidance and there were no other transitional impacts to consider.

Although there are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previouslyseveral other new accounting standards issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The adoption of this standard did notpronouncements has had or will have a significantmaterial 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 ASU 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract” which amends ASC 350-40,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 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 ASU 2018-15. If both these conditions are not met, ASU 2018-15 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 ASC 350-40 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.financial statements.

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. In addition, we acquired trade credit insurance effective April 1, 2020. At June 30, 2020,2021, approximately 80%88% 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. 2020 when the trade credit insurance became effective.

Our trade balances are spread over a broad Distribution Partner base, which is geographically dispersed. NoFor the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 1 Distribution Partner accountsaccounted for $8.2 million and $11.8 million of revenue, which is greater than 10% of total revenue. No Distribution Partners accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, and where possible, we collect a 50% deposit on sales, excluding government and certain other clients.

Due to the uncertainties associated with the COVID 19COVID-19 pandemic as well as the disruption to businesses in North America, the overall credit quality of certain receivables declined at March 31,June 30, 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 quartersix month period ended March 31,June 30, 2020. No further adjustments to our expected credit losses were required at June 30, 2020.2021. During the first six months of 2021 and 2020, 0 receivables were written off. Receivables are generally considered to be past due when over 60 days old unless there is a separate payment arrangement in place for the collection of the receivable.

Deferred share units

The fair value of the liability and the corresponding expense is charged to profit or loss at the grant date. Subsequently, at each reporting date between the grant date and settlement date, the fair value of the liability is remeasured with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss for the year. DSUs outstanding at June 30, 2021 had a fair value of $1.6 million which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet (December 31, 2020 –$0.9 million).

At the end of a three-year term, employees will be awarded cash at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company, calculated based on certain Adjusted EBITDA (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this Quarterly Report), total shareholder return, or revenue growth related to performance conditions.

The fair value of the liability and the expense attributable to the vesting period is charged to profit or loss at the grant date. Subsequently, at each reporting date between the grant date and settlement date, the fair value of the liability is remeasured with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. As at June 30, 2021, outstanding PSUs had a fair value of $0.1 million which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet (December 31, 2020 – $0.1 million).

10. INCOME TAXES

Certain stock based compensation expenseFor the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded valuation allowances of C$2.7 million and C$6.3 million, respectively ($2.3 million and $5.1 million) against deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) incurred


during the periods in its Canadian entity as the Company’s Canadian entity has experienced cumulative losses in recent years (December 31, 2020 – C$6.6 million or $5.2 million). Although earnings were positive in 2019, ongoing near-term uncertainties on the business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related decline in business activity impacted the Canadian entity’s ability to generate earnings. Accordingly, it is not deductiblemore likely than not that the Canadian entity’s DTAs will be utilized in the calculation of income taxes in Canada. Accordingly, the fair value adjustment recorded duringnear term.

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 periods. For additional information, see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures – EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the Three and Six Months Ended 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 June 30, 2020 and 2019.”

Summary of Financial Results

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $42.2 million, a decline of $21.9 million or 34% from $64.1 million for the quarter ended 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 combined with project delays or deferrals due mainly to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on construction schedules.

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 were $41.1 million, a decline of $1.1 million or 2% from $42.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Revenue decreased 15% to $70.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $83.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 revenues have returned to quarterly ranges experienced in the first half of 2020 and have increased by $11.6 million from the first quarter of 2021. On a year-to-date basis, we believe this decrease principally reflects the severe economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020, including a major contraction in construction activity levels in North America due to non-essential business closures, work-from-home requirements, lock-down measures and other regulatory responses implemented by governments and public health officials.

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $14.2 million or 33.7% of revenue, a decline of $10.2 million or 42%from $24.4 million or 38.1% of revenue for the quarter ended 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 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 include $0.5 million and $2.0 million of costs, respectively, incurred to mitigate future tile warping.

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $9.2 million or 22.4% of revenue, a decline of $5.0 million or 35% from $14.2 million or 33.7% of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The reduction was attributable to $1.3 million of higher transportation costs due to third party trucking cost increases, $1.3 million of higher direct material costs due to the combined impact of a 5% increase in the cost of materials and a specialized project that required additional third party manufactured inputs, $0.5 million of incremental costs related to our new highly automated panel manufacturing facility in Rock Hill, South Carolina (the “South Carolina Facility”) as well as the $1.1 million negative impact of a stronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based manufacturing costs. In addition, the three months ended June 30, 2020 included a $1.2 million reversal of a timber provision that did not reoccur in 2021.

Adjusted Gross Profit (see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $16.1 million or 38.2% of revenue, a $10.9 million or 40% decline from $27.0 million or 42.1% of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted Gross Profit (see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the six 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 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 current activity levels.

Gross profit for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 was $12.6 million or 17.8% of revenue, a decline of $12.9 million or 51% from $25.5 million or 30.7% of revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was largely due to the impact of fixed costs and excess labor capacity on lower revenues. In anticipation of a recovery in demand for our products and services and to preserve our skilled workforce, we deliberately maintained manufacturing headcount, while implementing selective furlough days despite the shortfall in revenues relative to capacity. The reduction was also attributable to $1.6 million of higher transportation costs from third party trucking cost increases, $1.6 million higher direct material costs due to the combined impact of a 3% increase in the cost of materials and a specialized project that required additional third party manufactured inputs, $1.0 million of incremental costs related to our new South Carolina Facility as well as the $1.6 million negative impact of a stronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based manufacturing costs. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2020 included a $1.2 million reversal of a timber provision that did not reoccur in 2021.

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

Adjusted Gross Profit (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $11.3 million or 27.4% of revenue, a $4.9 million or 30% decline from $16.1 million or 38.2% of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 for the reasons described above.

Adjusted Gross Profit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $18.4million or 26.1% of revenue compared to $31.7million or 38.1% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Excluded from Adjusted Gross Profit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, 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 future requirements as a result of impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the construction industry. We did not make further adjustments to our manufacturing workforce in the first six months of 2021 in anticipation of a recovery of demand.


Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $9.7 million compared to net income of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The higher net loss is primarily the result of the above noted reduction in gross profit, a $4.2 million increase in operating expenses, which was largely due to increased stock based compensation, one-time severance costs and salary and wage expenses as we continue to build our sales organization and execute on our strategic plan and increased travel, meals and entertainment costs due to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, a $0.9 million reduction of government subsidies and a $0.7 increase in interest expense as well as the estimated $1.3 million impact of a stronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based operating expenses. These amounts were partially offset by a $0.9 million reduction in foreign exchange losses.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $22.2 million compared to $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The higher net loss is primarily the result of the above noted reduction in gross profit, a $3.1 million increase in operating expenses, which was largely due to higher one-time severance and salary and wage expenses as discussed 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 increased to $5.0 million for the six months ended 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, partially offset by a $10.5 million reduction in operating costs, government subsidies of $4.3 million, increased foreign exchange gains of $2.3 million and $1.2 million of income tax recoveries.

The reduction in operating expenses reflects lower commissions on reduced sales activities the combination of $1.3 and lower professional fees, a $1.6million of costs related to our sales and marketing plan, $1.1net increase in foreign exchange losses, a $1.2 million related to the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq and $2.6 million of reorganization costsincrease in 2019 that did not recur, other cost reductions both deliberate and as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemicinterest expense and a $3.9 $1.5million decreasereduction in stockincome tax recoveries as well as the estimated $1.9 million impact of a stronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based compensation,operating expenses. These decreases were partially offset by higher legal costsa $3.2million increase of $3.0 million.government subsidies.

Adjusted EBITDA (see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the quarter ended 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 $5.2 million loss or (6.3)% of revenue, a decline of $19.0 million from $13.8 million, or 10.7% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Reductions for the quarter and 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 improve year-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.

Adjusted EBITDA (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was an $6.8 million loss or (16.6%) of revenue, a decline of $7.1 million from $0.3 million, or 0.6% of revenue, for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 for the above noted reasons. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was an $18.2 million loss or (25.8%) of revenue, a decline of $13.0 million from a loss of $5.2 million, or (6.3)% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 for the above noted reasons.

Outlook

OnIn 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 laid out a roadmap to transform a founder-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. While the strategic plan was developed and introduced pre-pandemic, we believe it is as or even more relevant in the post-pandemic world. Furthermore, our execution of the plan to date positions us well as we move forward.

As expected, second quarter 2021 revenue of $41.1 million was nearly forty percent higher than the first quarter of 2021 and within the quarterly revenue ranges experienced in the first half of 2020. Signs of economic recovery continued in the second quarter of 2021 with the easing of pandemic restrictions across North America. Third party construction indices that are leading indicators of future non-residential activity, including the Dodge Momentum Index and the Architectural Billing Index, were in expansionary territory in the quarter. However, we are closely monitoring potential surges in COVID infection rates, driven by the Delta variant, and the resulting impact on demand, labor availability, supply chains and our own operations.

At the same time, conventional construction has experienced dramatic increases in input costs, particularly steel, alongside significant material and labor shortages. These factors, along with permitting backlogs, are resulting in increases to construction costs and long schedule delays, including both the number of projects experiencing delay and the longer duration of the delay.

We believe that rising input costs for conventional construction are allowing our solutions to become more price competitive on a day one basis. While we have experienced some inflation in the cost of our core raw materials of aluminum, medium density fiberboard and glass, those increases have lagged increases in the cost of steel and other conventional construction raw materials. In addition, to date we have not experienced any major raw material shortages and have been able to maintain sufficient inventory levels to mitigate such risk. As a result, we have strategically elected not to pass along raw material price increases in order to enhance our relative price competitiveness versus conventional construction. We will continue to monitor the impact of input cost inflation; however, we expect that the increased price competitiveness of our solutions will drive higher demand, allowing us to improve profitability through absorption of unused labor capacity and fixed cost leverage within our plants.


Schedule delays have served to further highlight the benefits of our prefabricated approach to interior construction. DIRTT’s short lead and installation times allow clients to recapture a portion of the time lost to schedule delays, which we believe makes DIRTT a more attractive option compared to conventional construction. Further, we believe we are uniquely positioned to reduce labor required for interior construction through the combination of prefabrication in facilities emphasizing Lean manufacturing techniques as well as deploying automation as showcased in our recently opened South Carolina Facility.

While our ability to deliver on short lead times is a distinct advantage, our products are installed in the final stages of a project and as such, delays in the project schedule prior to our installation will negatively impact the timing of delivery and the recognition of related sales revenue. Many of our end customers are experiencing high pre-installation schedule delays, which has resulted in a corresponding shift of projects from the second half of 2021 into 2022. As a result, we are now expecting a slower pace of recovery in the second half of 2021, with third quarter revenue anticipated to be similar to the second quarter.

Companies are expressing an increasing interest in flexible, adaptable spaces and prefabricated, offsite construction as they reoccupy their space and explore new ways of working with their teams. We believe DIRTT is uniquely positioned to address this new built environment. Notwithstanding a slower-than-anticipated return to sales growth, we remain encouraged by the sales activity levels within our business, including increased quoting and large project request for proposal (RFP) activity relative to 2020. These activities, while not directly tied to contracted revenue, are indicative of both the overall increasing interest and demand, and the potential strength of our transformed commercial capabilities. In June 2021, the number of client tours, both physically and virtually, that we hosted at our DIRTT Experience Centres (DXCs), including our Dallas DXC that was under construction, was at a 30-month high and we continue to experience increasing engagement with our existing and potential strategic accounts. Strategic accounts provide us the opportunity to generate repeat sales based on existing relationships and we have expanded our strategic account relationships in the second quarter to 44 from 40 relationships in the first quarter of 2021. Additionally. we have been successful on a number of large strategic account RFPs, which we define as being projects exceeding $2.0 million, with delivery dates anticipated to begin in 2022.

Our strong financial position has allowed us to continue to advance the development of our commercial function. During the second quarter, we continued with selective hiring and completed the rollout of our Customer Relationship Management system to all our sales representatives. We anticipate that our Dallas DXC will be ready for occupancy late in the third quarter of this year. Finally, we welcomed three new Distribution Partners in the quarter and are finalizing the onboarding of two major general contractors that we expect will join our distribution partner network in the third quarter of 2021. We are identifying and establishing relationships with potential new Distribution Partners in underserved regions.

On June 8, 2021, we formally opened our new highly automated panel manufacturing facility in Rock Hill South Carolina for a total cost of $17.6 million. This compares to an initial budget of $18.5 million, reflecting the deferral of the casework component to a later date and the addition of priming and UV equipment not contemplated in the original budget. The plant is fully operational, and we are balancing production and resulting labor requirements with our Calgary panel plant. The South Carolina Facility requires one-sixth the labor of the Calgary facility for the same level of output and improves shipping time up to four days with commensurate reductions in freight costs for our East Coast customers. The South Carolina Facility is also a key asset to enhance our customer experience, we believe representing the future of industrialized construction and how it can improve the quality of the built environment. In preparation for increasing demand, we are continuing to deliberately retain manufacturing capacity, which is expected to negatively impact gross margins due to both negative fixed cost leverage and excess labor capacity. As activity improves, we expect gross margins to improve accordingly.

Our financial position remained strong at June 30, 2021, with $58.3 million of cash on hand at June 30, 2021 compared to $58.7 million at March 31, 2021 and $45.8 million at December 31, 2020. Net working capital of $67.2 million compared to $70.5 million at March 31, 2021 and $53.5 million at December 31, 2020. In the second quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact our business, specifically causing job site closures2021, cash provided by operations of $0.1 million ($12.0 million used in certain jurisdictions, schedule delays resulting from labor restrictions and supply chain shortages on job sites and project deferrals due to economic uncertainty. Late in the first quarter of 2020 and early in the second quarter of 2020, we took decisive actions to ensure employee safety, to right-size our plant labor 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 costsoperations year-to-date) and capital expenditures while still realizing the majority of the benefits derived from the plan.

Second quarter 2020 revenue$6.4 million ($10.0 million year-to-date) were more than offset by equipment leasing facility draws of $42.2$8.4 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($8.4 million year-to-date). We expect to quantify given our short lead times. We estimate approximately $3.7draw an additional two to three million of projects that we were confident of second quarter delivery at March 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 not possible to quantify. These delays are expected to continue to impact us through the remainder of 2020 as the industry adjusts to the COVID-19 pandemic and the exact timing of the completion of these projects is uncertain.

We believe that the 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 onsite labor due to social distancing may adversely impact construction schedules and cost, accelerating the trend towards offsite manufacturing and consolidation of subtrade activities. Additionally, increased focus on infection 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 newequipment leasing 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 time.

Within the commercial function, we continued to broaden our Distribution Partner network, and welcomed five new Distribution Partners in the United 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 an 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 with2021. In 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 successfully 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 lower cost material flows through our raw material inventory.

At our 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,2021, we completed the definitive documentationa C$40.25 million convertible unsecured debenture issuance for our previously announced six-month covenant holiday on our credit facility and drewnet proceeds of C$3.637.6 million ($2.6 million) of the Canadian leasing facilityor $29.5 million. We continued to fund 2019 Canadian equipment purchases. In the event activity levels remain at current levels, we will likely seek an extension 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 is delivered and accepted on site. We also qualified for an approximately $4.3 million taxable wage subsidy underbenefit from the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy program from(CEWS) and the Canadian Emergency Rent Subsidy (CERS), qualifying for $3.4 million in the second quarter ($7.5 million year-to-date), of which $2.5 million was receivable at June 30, 2021. The CEWS and CERS programs have been extended by the Canadian government forto September 25, 2021.


Our strong balance sheet and our prudent focus on liquidity during this uncertain period provides us the Aprilconfidence to June period. Of this amount, $1.6 million was receivedcontinue to execute on our strategic plan. We are encouraged by the improving economic conditions and the increase in June with the balance expectedopportunities and sales activity and expect that our business is ready to be received in the third quarter. As a result, we finished the second quarter with net working capital of $52.2 million, including cash balances of $44.6 million, compared to $51.0 million of net working capital including $43.5 million of cash at March 31, 2020.respond when these opportunities ultimately translate into orders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These GAAP financial statements include non-cash charges and other charges and benefits that we believe are unusual or infrequent in nature or that we believe may make comparisons to our prior or future performance difficult.

As a result, we also provide financial information in this 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 these non-GAAP financial measures in its review and evaluation of the financial performance of the Company. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures also provide additional insight to investors and securities analysts as supplemental information to our GAAP results and as a basis to compare our financial performance period over period and to compare our financial performance with that of other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons of our core operating results from period to period and to other companies by removing the effects of our capital structure (net interest income on cash deposits, interest expense on outstanding debtand 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 on non-GAAP financial measures, primarily Adjusted EBITDA.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we removedWe remove the impact of all foreign exchange from Adjusted EBITDA. Foreign exchange gains and losses can vary significantly period-to-period due to the impact of changes in the U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rates on foreign currency denominated monetary items on the balance sheet and are not reflective of the underlying operations of the Company. We have presented a reconciliation to our prior calculationremove the impact of Adjusted EBITDA for the quarters presented. Additionally, since the fourth quarter of 2019, we have excludedunder-utilized capacity from Adjusted Gross Profit costs associated with under-utilized capacity. Fixedgross profit, and 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 fromaddition, management bases certain forward-looking estimates and budgets on non-GAAP financial measures, primarily Adjusted EBITDA.

Reorganization expenses, governmentGovernment subsidies, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and foreign exchange gains and losses are excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures because management considers them to be outside of the Company’s core operating results, even though some of those receipts and expenses may recur, and because management believes that each of these items can distort the trends associated with the Company’s ongoing performance. We believe that excluding these receipts and expenses provides investors and management with greater visibility to the underlying performance of the business operations, enhances consistency and comparativeness with results in prior periods that do not, or future periods that may not, include such items, and facilitates comparison with the results of other companies in our industry.


The following non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this Quarterly Report, and a description of the calculation for each measure is included.

You should carefully evaluate these non-GAAP financial measures, the adjustments included in them, and the reasons we consider them appropriate for analysis supplemental to our GAAP information. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool due to exclusion of some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider any of these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. You should also be aware that we may recognize income or incur expenses in the future that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in these non-GAAP financial measures. Because these non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Gross profit and gross profit margin decreased to $25.5 million or 30.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $48.0 million or 37.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019.2020. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin decreased to $11.3million or 27.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $16.1 million or 38.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $27.02020. The reduction was attributable to $1.3 million or 42.1% forof higher transportation costs due to third party trucking cost increases, $1.3 million of higher direct material costs due to the combined impact of a 5% increase in the cost of materials and a specialized project that required additional third party manufactured inputs, $0.5 million of incremental costs related to our new South Carolina Facility as well as the $1.1 million impact of a stronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based manufacturing costs. In addition, the three months ended June 30, 2019.2020 included a $1.2 million reversal of a timber provision that did not reoccur in 2021.

Gross profit and gross profit margin decreased to $12.6 million or 17.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from$25.5 million or 30.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin decreased to $18.4million or 26.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $31.7 million or 38.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020,2020. The decrease was largely due to the impact of fixed costs and excess labor capacity on lower revenues. In anticipation of a recovery in demand for our products and services and to preserve our skilled workforce, we deliberately maintained manufacturing headcount, while implementing selective furlough days despite the shortfall in revenues relative to capacity. The reduction was also attributable to $1.6 million of higher transportation costs from $52.8third party trucking cost increases, $1.6 million or 40.9% forhigher direct material costs due to the combined impact of a 3% increase in the cost of materials and a specialized project that required additional third party manufactured inputs, $1.0 million of incremental costs related to our new South Carolina Facility as well as the $1.6 million impact of a stronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based manufacturing costs. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decreases are largely due to reduced fixed cost leverage due to reductions2020 included a $1.2 million reversal of a timber provision that did not reoccur in revenues and excess labor capacity prior to headcount reductions discussed 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.2021.

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%(1.2% of gross profit margin) in cost of sales. We took steps to manage our excess capacity, including the reduction in staffing


by 14%, with a further 12% reduction in April 2020 for a total reduction of 25% from prior year levels, and the undertaking of planned factory curtailments. The staffing reductions realigned our capacity with then expected activity levels; however, our fixed costs willcontinued to affect our Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, which we expect to remain below historical percentages until sales improve. Prospectively,In the first quarter of 2021, we expectexperienced the full impact of the slowdown in non-residential construction activity on our fixedbusiness. Revenues in the second quarter of 2021 have returned to quarterly ranges experienced in the first half of 2020. In anticipation of a recovery in demand for our products and services in the second half of 2021 and to preserve our skilled workforce, we deliberately maintained manufacturing headcount, while implementing selective furlough days, in the first quarter of 2021 despite the shortfall in revenues relative to capacity. As a result, in the first quarter of 2021 we separately classified $1.8 million as costs related to our under-utilized capacity (6% first quarter and 2% for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 of gross profit margin) in cost of sales to be approximately $6.0 million persales. In the second quarter and remaining costs of sales to be approximately 54% of revenues comprising materials which are variable, and labor which is quasi-variable2021, we did not have abnormal excess capacity as we match our shifts to orderworkforce was better aligned with current production volumes.

Following the completion of third-partythird 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 beenbegan 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 havesold and accordingly reduced the associated provision to $1.2$1.3 million, which represents expected costs to prepare impacted sites and apply the in-situ solution. In the third quarter of 2020, we completed building code reviews of the affected projects and determined that the timber as installed met the requisite building code requirements as it related to fire retardance. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we further reduced our timber provision by $0.5 million as we believe this reduces any obligation to remediate previously installed projects. Additionally, we entered into agreements with certain customers to compensate them for product charges not fulfilled. During the six monthsmonth period ended June 30, 2020,2021, we incurred no costs(2020 – $0.1 million of costsmillion) associated with remediating previously installed timber projects, which were recorded against the provision.projects.

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 first half of 2020.

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 andmonths ended June 30, 2021 by $1.1 million or 2% compared to the same period of 2020. Revenue decreased in the six months ended June 30, 20202021 by $21.9 million and $46.1$12.6 million or 34% and 36% respectively15% compared to the same periodsperiod of 2019. Revenue2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 revenues have returned to quarterly ranges experienced in the first half of 2020 and have increased by $11.6 million from the first quarter of 2021. On a year-to-date basis, revenue decreased due to several factors as discussed above in “– Summary of Financial Results” and “– Outlook”. We have been subject tobelieve the decrease principally reflects the severe economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020, including a disruptionmajor contraction in salesconstruction activity levels particularlyin North America due to work-from-home requirements, lock-down measures and other regulatory responses implemented by governments and public health officials. While we did not experience any material cancellations of projects that were underway at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is uncertain 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 largerimpact of the pandemic on future projects which can be two years or more, this had a corresponding negative effect on our revenue, especiallythat are either in the last half of 2019 and continuing intoplanning or conceptual stage. It is highly likely that future projects will also experience similar delays as the first half of 2020. This effect has lasted longer than we had anticipated. COVID-19 pandemic runs its course. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors”.

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, particularly as the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic commences, these actions did not have a measurable effect on 20202021 revenues to date.

Our revenues were also impactedin light of the severe economic adversity caused by the COVID-19pandemic. We estimate approximately $3.7 million of projects that we were highly confident of second quarter 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 decreased $1.4was $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 and decreased $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 20202021 compared to $1.4 million and $2.1million in the same period in 2019.of 2020, respectively. The changes in installation and other services revenue are primarily due to the timing of projects and overall sales activity, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.projects. 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. We currently have 80At June 30, 2021, we had 69 Distribution Partners servicing multiple locations. We recently added fiveDuring 2020 and 2021, we made several changes and upgrades to our Distribution Partners, one in each of the west, south and north east, and two in the central regions of the United States, and have endedPartner network, expanding our relationships with certain underperforming Distribution Partners.new and existing partners and ending our relationships with others. 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.

Revenue decreased by 34%2% and 36% respectively15% in the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 over the same periodsperiod in 20192020 and was driven primarily by decreased commercial sales. Commercial revenues decreased by 24% and 34%, respectively from the prior period, due largely to the severe impact of COVID-19 on commercial construction activities in North America. Similarly, education sales which reflectsdecreased by 38% and 47%, respectively from 2020 as most universities and private schools moved to on-line classes in response to the disruption inCOVID-19 pandemic. During 2021, healthcare sales increased primarily reflecting increased activity levels noted above. Commercial revenues were lower due towith a large strategic health care provider and the completiondelivery of a major projectCOVID-19 vaccination trailers in the first half of 2019 that was not 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.second quarter.

Historically, approximately 15-25% and 75-85% of revenues are derived from sales to Canada and the United States, respectively. In 2020 and 2021, revenues from Canada fell to 10% of total sales while sales to the United States increased to 90%, reflecting the impact of pandemic related restrictions on activity levels in the related jurisdictions.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $3.4increased by $1.4 million and $3.7$0.6 million to $7.6 million and $14.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, from $6.2 million and $13.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, from $9.5 million and $17.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.respectively. The decreasesincreases were largely related to increased salary and wage expenses as we continue to build our sales organization, $0.6 million due to staff transferred from Technology and Development to Sales and Marketing and higher depreciation expense as we completed our Chicago DXC in 2020, offset by lower commission expense. Travel, meals and entertainment expenses were lower on a reduction in commission expensesyear-to-date basis, but increased quarter on lower revenues and lowerquarter as restrictions on travel have eased. As economies re-open, we anticipate 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 towill increase over current levels, the timing and amount of which,such expenses, however, are indeterminate. Included in sales and marketing expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $1.3 million of consulting costs related to our sales and marketing plan that did not recur in 2020.indeterminate at this time.

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. In light of uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have 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”) decreased $0.7increased by $1.6 million and $1.0 million to $6.2$7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $6.9and $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the six 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 incurring $0.9 million of higher legal costs, offset by expense reductions, and during the second quarter of 2019 we incurred $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 decreased by $0.6 million to $2.3 million from $2.9 million in 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2019 we incurred $0.72021, respectively from $6.2 million and $1.1$14.0 million of consulting costs, respectively, to assist withfor the rectificationthree and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the increase was the result of the tile warping issue. Decreases in consulting costs wereimpact of the stronger Canadian dollar on our cost structure, higher salaries and benefits expenses, inclusive of a one-time severance cost, and professional fees, partially offset by increasesdecreased variable compensation costs. The six months ended June 30, 2021 increased for the same reasons as the second quarter partially offset by a reduction in personnelprofessional service costs due to increased headcount to betterand a $0.6 million credit loss recorded in the first quarter of 2020 that was not repeated in 2021.

Operations Support Expenses

Operations support is comprised primarily of project managers, order entry and other professionals that facilitate the integration of our Distribution Partner project execution and our manufacturing operations. Operations support of our Distribution Partners.expenses decreased by $0.1 million and $0.3 million to $2.2 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, from $2.3 million and $4.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, due to higher capitalized labor associated with internal capital projects.

Technology and Development Expenses

Technology and development expenses relate to non-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 increaseddecreased by $0.1$0.2 million and $0.3 million to $2.1$1.9 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, respectively, compared to $2.0$2.1 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Technology and development costs of $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, were consistent with the comparable period in 2019.respectively, primarily related to Technology and Development staff transferred to Sales and Marketing.


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 options at the end of 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 June 30, 2020 was $0.4 million, compared to a $1.7 million recovery for the same period of 2019. For theand six months ended June 30, 2020, stock-based compensation2021 was $0.9$1.9and $3.0 million, respectively, compared to $4.8$0.4 million and $0.9 million for the same periodrespective periods of 2019. Stock-based compensation for the second quarter2020. The increase was largely due to grants of 2019 included arestricted share units and deferred share units and fair value adjustmentadjustments on cash settled options,awards as explained above.a result of share price appreciation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Reorganization ExpensesGovernment Subsidies

InDuring the first half of 2019, we incurred $2.6three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded $3.4 million and $7.5 million of reorganization expenses, including severance paymentsgovernment subsidies, respectively (2020 – $4.3 million for both the three and related legalsix month periods). Of these amounts, $2.5 million was receivable at June 30, 2021 and consulting costs associated with management and organizational changes.

Income Tax

The provision for income taxes is comprised of U.S. and Canadian federal, state provincial and foreignprovincial taxes based on pre-tax income. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 20202021 was $0.1$0.2 million, compared to $1.7$0.1 million for the same period of 20192020 and income tax recoveryexpense for the six months ended June 30, 20202021 was $1.2$0.3 million as compared to a $1.7$1.2 million expenserecovery for the same period of 2019.2020. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded valuation allowances of C$2.7 million and C$6.3 million, respectively against deferred tax assets due to ongoing near term uncertainties on the business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related decline in business activity which impacted our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in Canada to fully deduct historical losses. As at June 30, 2020,2021, we had C$42.375.8 million of loss carry-forwards in Canada and none in the United States. These loss carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2032.

The decrease in net incomeincreased loss is attributable toprimarily the above noted reductionresult of a $5.0 million decrease in gross profit, and a $0.5$4.2 million increase in foreign exchange loss,operating expenses, a $0.9 million reduction of government subsidies and a $0.7 increase in interest expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.5$0.9 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.foreign exchange losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 20202021 totaled $44.6$58.3 million, a decreasean increase of $2.6$12.5 million from $47.2 million at December 31, 2019.2020. The increase in cash primarily reflects the impact of $29.5 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the Debentures in January 2021 and $8.4 million of drawings under our Leasing Facilities, offset by cash


used in operations of $11.9 million, capital expenditures of $10.0 million and scheduled Leasing Facilities repayments of $0.8 million.

In July 2019,January 2021, we issued C$40.3 million of the Debentures for net proceeds after costs of C$37.6 million ($29.5 million). The Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum and are convertible into common shares of DIRTT at an exercise price of C$4.65 per common share, or if not converted will mature and will be repayable on January 31, 2026.

In February 2021, we entered into a loan agreement governing a C$50.025.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the RBC. Draw-downs underUnder the RBC Facility, are available in both Canadian and U.S. dollars. 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 CompanyBorrowing Base is able to borrow to a maximum of 75%90% of investment grade or insured accounts receivable plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 75% of the book value of eligible inventory and 25%85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less priority payables, subject to an aggregate limit of C$50.0 million including amounts borrowed under the Leasing Facilities, described below. 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 million and $16.5 millionany reserves 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 replacepotential prior ranking claims. Under the RBC Facility, with an asset backed facility. As at June 30, 2020, the RBC Facility was undrawn and the2021 available borrowing base was USD $12.8borrowings are C$10.3 million or $8.3 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we entered intoThe Company has a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada Leasing Facility on which C$3.6 million ($2.6 million) of cash consideration has been drawn, and a $16.0$14.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States,U.S. Leasing Facility on which $11.9 million has been drawn with RBC and one of its affiliates. The Leasing Facilities are available for equipment expenditures and certain equipment expenditures already incurred. TheWe anticipate drawing an additional two to three million on our 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. Duringduring the second quarterremainder 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.2021.

In light of the uncertainty caused by the near and potential mid-term impacts of COVID-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 facilitiesLeasing Facilities and RBC Facility should, based on current activity levels,except in very extreme cases, 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 Leasing Facilitiesaforementioned 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 Debentures and 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 cashflowcash flow from operations, long-term debt, and cash on hand. We had no amounts outstanding under the RBC Facility as of June 30, 2021 and C$3.5$14.9 million outstanding under the Leasing Facilities as of June 30, 2020.2021.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Credit risk

The overall change and uncertainty in the economy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to increase our expectation of credit losses during the first quarter of 2020, and additionally, we believe the COVID-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 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 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 Form 10-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 Form 10-K.

In the Canadian Non-Compete Case, we are seeking, among other things, an order stopping the defendants from unlawfully competing with us, and payment of lost revenue and damages. We recently obtained a consent order forcing certain individuals, including defendants Smed and Loberg, to attend depositions beginning in September, 2021. To date, we have questioned six individual defendants or witnesses in the Canadian Non-Compete Case. We are pleased with the results of the questioning to date and believe they give strong support to our allegations. We intend to continue to pursue the case vigorously. 

In the Utah Misappropriation Case, the court recently ruled that certain of our claims, particularly those against Falkbuilt and Mr. Smed (a Canadian corporation and Canadian resident, respectively), should be dismissed under the doctrine of forum non-conveniens. DIRTT disagrees with this decision, and has appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Notwithstanding this ruling, the Utah Misappropriation Case continues against the remaining individual and corporate defendants, and we expect to begin taking depositions in the third quarter of 2021. 

In the Patent Infringement Case, we are seeking, among other things, an order enjoining Falkbuilt from infringing our patents and damages for past or continuing infringement. Falkbuilt is attempting to initiate an inter partes review and post grant review of DIRTT’s subject patents, and has filed a partymotion to stay the case pending resolution of these reviews. DIRTT has filed a motion opposing the stay, and believes that Falkbuilt’s actions are simply an attempt to delay the court proceedings.

In the Texas Unfair Competition Case, DIRTT alleges violations of the U.S. Lanham Act, the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act, the Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, the Pennsylvania Unform Trade Secrets Act, the Colorado Consumer Protection Act, and the Ohio Deceptive Practices Act, and is seeking preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to restrain Falkbuilt from using or disclosing DIRTT confidential business information in the United States, and awards of which any of its property is subject.compensatory damages, exemplary damages, and attorneys’ fees.

No amounts are accrued for the above legal proceedings.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on May 5, 2021, 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 the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected,created significant volatility, uncertainty and may continueeconomic disruption. The extent to negatively affect, our operations, including our revenue, expenses, collectability of accounts receivables andwhich COVID-19, or 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 the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Further, the President of the United States declared the COVID-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 of COVID-19. Such orderspandemics 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 affectingepidemics, impact our employees, operations, customers, suppliers Distribution Partners, and offices, among others.

We have responded to the COVID-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 uncommitted non-critical or discretionary spending; and commencing the process to secure additional incremental access to liquidity. Due to the shelter-in-place orders in Canada and the United States, we have implemented work-from-home policies for many non-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 the COVID-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. Continued shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, executive orders or related measures to combat the spread of COVID-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, the COVID-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 the COVID-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 the COVID-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 six months ended June 30, 2020 by $0.6 million to reflect increased collection risk related to certain Distribution Partners. We also implemented methods to further decrease our credit risk exposure, including implementing trade credit insurance for eligible accounts receivables that have arisen since April 1, 2020.

While the potential economic impact brought by and the duration of COVID-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 of COVID-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.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to change rapidly. The extent of the impact of the COVID-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 the COVID-19 pandemic;numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of related federal,the COVID-19 pandemic (and whether there is a resurgence or multiple resurgences of the virus in the future, including as a result of strain variations); the actions taken by governments and public health officials in response to the pandemic; the availability and effectiveness of vaccines, approvals thereof and the speed of vaccine distribution; the impact on construction activity; the effect on our customers’ demand for our DIRTT Solutions; our ability to manufacture and sell our products; and the ability of our customers to pay for our products. For example, while many of our products support life sustaining activities and essential construction, we, and certain of our customers or suppliers, may be impacted by state or provincial and local governmentactions, orders and restrictions;policies regarding the extentCOVID-19 pandemic, including temporary closures of non-life sustaining businesses, shelter-in-place orders, and travel, social distancing and quarantine policies, the impactimplementation and enforcement of the COVID-19 pandemic on the construction market andwhich may vary by individual jurisdictions. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our Distribution Partners, customers and suppliers; and our access to capital, allbusiness, liquidity or results of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.operations.
