Oblong Announces Financial Results for Fourth Quarter 2023 and Provides Business Update

Oblong, Inc. (Nasdaq: OBLG) (“Oblong” or the “Company”), an innovator in collaboration solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and provided updates on the Company’s business and strategy.

During 2023, the Company diligently optimized its operations, streamlined expenditures, and strengthened Oblong’s balance sheet to position itself as a lean and agile innovator in the tech landscape. Oblong raised $5.9 million in funding in 2023 that we believe provides the Company with ample liquidity and a clear runway through mid-2025. This strategic financing underscores the confidence of Oblong’s investors in the Company’s vision and long-term strategy.

"Our strategy for growth and enhancing shareholder value is twofold. We aim to grow organically by expanding our market presence while actively seeking inorganic growth opportunities through strategic partnerships or acquisitions," said Peter Holst, CEO of Oblong. "Our exploration of strategic alternatives is diverse, encompassing the consideration of a range of transformative actions. These include the possibility of a business combination; a reverse merger; or outright sale of the company. Each option is being carefully evaluated to ensure it aligns with our overarching goal of sustainable growth and value creation. Specifically, we are interested in early-stage technology companies creating transformative approaches to leveraging technology for the betterment of human life. These companies may complement our existing offerings but could also open new avenues for expansion by tapping into significant market opportunities. In our quest to find the right partners, we are particularly focused on ventures that have demonstrated their ability to innovate and capture early-stage interest of their target markets, indicating a clear path to scalability and a substantial market presence."

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

  • As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $6.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and no debt.
  • Total revenue was $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 versus $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Net loss of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) loss of $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to an AEBITDA loss of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. AEBITDA loss is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for additional information regarding this non-GAAP financial measure, and “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net loss.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) loss, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net loss before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and expense, impairment charges, casualty loss, severance, income tax expense (benefit), and interest and other income, net. AEBITDA loss is not intended to replace operating loss, net loss, cash flow or other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Rather, AEBITDA loss is an important measure used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company and to compare such performance between periods. AEBITDA loss as defined here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in accounting policies. Therefore, AEBITDA loss should be considered in conjunction with net loss and other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating loss or cash flow used in operating activities, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures, such as net loss, operating loss or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance. A GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation of net loss to AEBITDA loss is shown under “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” later in this release.
