TransAct Technologies Reports Preliminary Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

2022 Third Quarter Net Sales of $17.9 Million, up 68% on a Year-Over-Year Basis

FST Recurring Revenue of $2.6 Million, up 27% on a Year-Over-Year Basis

FST Paid Terminals Up 36% from September 30, 2021

Reports Positive Net Income

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

“Our quarterly results broke not only a number of Company sales records, but also mark the end of our best nine months in sales since 2018. This would not be possible without the incredible work of our engineering, operations and sales teams who have worked tirelessly to get a near record number of casino and POS printers manufactured, sold and delivered in the face of supply shortages, and I cannot thank the TransAct team enough for their efforts,” said Bart C. Shuldman, Chief Executive Officer of TransAct. Mr. Shuldman continued, “This quarter saw continued momentum in our Food Service Technology (“FST”) business with new records set for total FST revenue at $3.7 million, and total recurring FST revenue of nearly $2.6 million, including label sales. Furthermore, with the new additions to our sales force settling in, we have a solid pipeline of opportunities with a number of customer evaluations in progress with world-class organizations.”

“In addition, I am thrilled with the Casino and Gaming market where historic demand continues to outstrip our supply. Every printer we can make is being shipped out which helped us see a double-digit gain in our domestic sales and yet another triple digit gain in our international markets in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021. I could not be more pleased with the whole team as TransAct looks to capitalize on these trends going into 2023.”

Both the call and the webcast are open to the general public. The conference call number is 888-394-8218 and the conference ID number is 6552635 (domestic or international). Please call ten minutes prior to the presentation to ensure that you are connected.

Change in Accounting Principle

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

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

TransAct is providing certain non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that these measures are helpful to investors and others in assessing the ongoing nature of what the Company’s management views as TransAct’s core operations. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide the Company with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide relevant and useful information to an investor evaluating the Company’s operating performance because these measures are: (i) widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items that do not reflect the Company’s ongoing operations and are excluded from the calculation of such measure; (ii) used as financial measurements by lenders and other parties to evaluate creditworthiness; and (iii) used by the Company’s management for various purposes including strategic planning and forecasting and assessing financial performance. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share provide the Company with an understanding of the results of the primary operations of the business by excluding the effects of special items (for example, the forgiveness of the Company’s $2.2 million loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) administered by the Small Business Administration ( the “SBA”) pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”)) that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of the Company’s operations. The Company believes this provides a more comparable measure of the Company’s continuing business, as these measures adjust for the special items that are not reflective of the normal results of the business. These measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of the Company’s business. The presentation of this non-GAAP information is not considered superior to or a substitute for, and should be read in conjunction with, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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

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

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for the impact of the forgiveness of the PPP Loan by the SBA pursuant to the CARES Act. A reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found attached to this release.

Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share is defined as adjusted net income (loss) divided by diluted shares outstanding. A reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share to net income (loss) per diluted share, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found attached to this release.
