SRAX Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SRAX (Nasdaq: SRAX)<s>,</s> an advertising technology company providing the tools to automate digital marketers and content owners' campaigns across digital channels, reported total revenue of $6.0 million, operating loss of $9,000, GAAP net loss of $737,700 and positive Adjusted EBITDA of $221,400 for the second quarter 2017.
"The second quarter reflected the benefits of the cost management efforts implemented at the end of the first quarter, with improved operating and Adjusted EBITDA results," stated SRAX's CEO and Chairman Christopher Miglino. "The leaner infrastructure we now have in place, together with targeted higher gross margin revenue and new product verticals, we believe will generate positive Adjusted EBITDA for the second half of 2017."
Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results:
-- Revenue was $6.0 million, compared to $9.2 million in the second quarter
of 2016. This reflects the intentional decrease in revenue from a
significant legacy, lower-margin customer partially offset by an
increase in revenue from SRAX buy-side and sell-side clients as well as
continuing growth in SRAXmd.
-- Gross profit was $3.3 million, compared to $3.0 million in the second
quarter of 2016. Gross margin was 56%, compared to 32% in the second
quarter of 2016, reflecting the benefit from reduced low-margin revenue
from the company's significant legacy customer.
-- Operating expenses were $3.3 million, compared to $4.1 million in the
second quarter of 2016, which included a $670,000 impairment of goodwill
charge.
-- Other expense of $728,700 represents the net impact of financing and
associated transactions in the second quarter.
-- Operating loss was $9,000, improving compared to operating loss of $1.1
million in the second quarter of 2016, reflecting the strategic focus of
the company on higher gross margin revenue and more efficient sales
operations.
-- Net loss was $737,700, compared to the net income of $1.9 million in the
second quarter of 2016, which included a $3.7 million write-off of a
contingent consideration.
-- Adjusted EBITDA was $221,400, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of
$4,900 in the second quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain additional one-time expenses. It is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). A detailed description and reconciliation of EBITDA and management's reasons for using this measure is set forth at the end of this press release.
In April, SRAX entered into definitive securities purchase agreements for the purchase and sale of 5,000,000 principal amount of 12.5% secured convertible debentures and five-year Series A warrants representing the right to acquire up to 833,337 shares of the company's Class A common stock. As of May 3(rd), SRAX received net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million from the financings. Of this amount, $2.5 million was used to satisfy the put obligation of the Series B warrants issued to investors in the company's January 2017 offering.
Updated 2017 Guidance:
-- As a result of management's strategic focus on higher gross margin
revenue, total revenue guidance has been adjusted to approximately $36
million, approximately flat with 2016.
-- Management expects 2017 gross margin to range between 47% and 55%,
compared to 35% in 2016.
-- Management expects 2017 operations to range between $(200,000) and $2.7
million, compared to an operating loss of $4.8 million in 2016.
-- Management reiterates 2017 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to be between $2
million and $5 million, up at least $3 million from an Adjusted EBITDA
loss of $1.1 million in 2016
Other Recent Corporate Highlights:
-- Launched a new SRAX Social tool for digital marketers and content owners
to create posts and promote them beyond their Facebook Page communities.
The tool is the first of many planned monetization opportunities to be
developed and integrated into the SRAX Social platform.

NON-GAAP TO GAAP RECONCILIATION
Use of Non-GAAP Measure - Adjusted EBITDA
SRAX's management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various financial metrics. In addition to the company's GAAP results, management also considers the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from operations before depreciation and amortization expenses, stock-based compensation and one time financing and transaction expense. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information about Social Reality's operating results. The tables below provide a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP measure should be considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
