    Management Commentary

    "2023 was a year of substantial transformation, which culminated in a strong fourth quarter with revenue of $10.1 million - our third double-digit million revenue quarter in 2023. This performance led to record-breaking annual revenue of $38.0 million, representing a 34% increase from 2022," said VirTra CEO John Givens. "Our success has been the result of strategic changes we've implemented across our business, particularly in enhancing our internal operations. Last year, we successfully upgraded our machine shop and consolidated production into a single facility, implemented a new ERP system, and revised our processes for scalability, just to name a few of the operational strides we took. These actions have increased our throughput significantly and improved our book-to-ship ratio, all while reducing production costs and maintaining excellent product quality. We are now shipping orders that we receive within days instead of years, and we have set a solid foundation for future success as demand for our solutions continues to rise."

    "This strategic overhaul was instrumental in effectively working through the substantial backlog we faced entering 2023. With that backlog down to $19.4 million entering 2024, growing bookings and our pipeline will be critical to our growth trajectory going forward. To align more closely with future growth opportunities, we also restructured our sales team, introducing new methodologies, adopting a territory-based approach, and revising our compensation structure. We expect these adjustments to enhance our sales productivity and bolster our customer success functions.

    "As our newly implemented sales strategies begin to take root, we expect that the technological innovations we made in 2023 will drive further interest from the core law enforcement market and the military sector. The introduction of V-XR(R), our extended reality training platform, has been met with great interest, with a very positive market reception setting us up for strong delivery volume starting in the next few months. V-XR's emphasis on training soft skills, such as managing mental health crises, is set to broaden our reach within our core target markets but also in wider settings, such as in hospitals and educational institutions. Additionally, to better serve military customers, we integrated VBS, a premier military software that facilitates the creation of real-time, geo-specific training into our simulators. Despite the typically longer sales cycles in the military market, our foothold is expanding ahead of schedule.

    "Building on our operating momentum, we are moving into the second quarter with high confidence in our trajectory for continued growth for 2024."

    Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

    Total revenue increased 16% to $10.1 million from $8.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in revenue was driven by continued demand for training solutions with government customers, both domestically and internationally.

    Gross profit increased 58% to $8.4 million from $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Gross profit margin was 83%, an increase compared to 61% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

    Net operating expense was $5.8 million, compared to $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in net operating expense was associated with additional staffing and the opening of the Company's Orlando facility.

    Operating income increased by $0.7 million to $2.6 million from $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

    Net income was $2.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted share (based on 11.0 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding), an improvement compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share (based on 10.9 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding), in the fourth quarter of 2022.

    Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was $1.7 million, compared to $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

    Full Year 2023 Financial Results

    Total revenue increased 34% to $38.0 million from $28.3 million in 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily the result of increases in simulator and accessory sales, STEP sales, and design and prototyping revenue.

    Gross profit increased 64% to $26.7 million from $16.3 million in 2022. Gross profit margin was 70%, an increase compared to 57% in 2022. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to the aforementioned increase in revenue while maintaining cost of sales in line with 2022 levels. Also contributing to this increase was an unusual event of the Company's receiving a $3 million kickoff milestone payment in connection with a contract for custom work, for which no significant costs were associated.

    Net operating expense was $17.0 million in 2023, compared to $13.7 million in 2022. The increase in net operating expense was primarily driven by an increase in salaries and benefits resulting from the addition of new staff, expenses for the new Orlando office, as well as an increase in R&D spend, and the implementation expense related to the launch of the Company's new ERP system.

    Operating income jumped to $9.6 million in 2023, a $7.0 million increase from $2.6 million in the prior year period.

    Net income was $8.4 million, or $0.77 per diluted share (based on 11.0 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding), an improvement compared to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share (based on 10.9 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding), in 2022.

    Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, increased to $11.1 million from $3.6 million in 2022.

    Financial Commentary

    "In the fourth quarter we continued to grow our revenue while making improvements to our profitability metrics," said VirTra CFO Alanna Boudreau. "The changes we've made internally to our operations have also had a significant effect on the margin growth we had in the fourth quarter and throughout the year. Based on our recent performance, we are expecting that our backlog will remain lower than past levels historically as we focus on continuing to improve our book-to-ship ratio moving forward. We anticipate continued revenue and profitability expansion as we move into additional markets outside of law enforcement in 2024."

    About the Presentation of Adjusted EBITDAAdjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and before other non-operating costs and income ("Adjusted EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA also includes non-cash stock option expense and other than temporary impairment loss on investments. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently. VirTra calculates its Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items it does not consider to be indicative of its performance and its ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because management believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to VirTra's investors regarding VirTra's financial condition and results of operations and because Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in VirTra's industry, several of which present a form of Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of VirTra's results as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative for net income, cash flows from operating activities and other consolidated income or cash flows statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the following tables:

    About the Presentation of Adjusted EBITDAAdjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and before other non-operating costs and income ("Adjusted EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA also includes non-cash stock option expense and other than temporary impairment loss on investments. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently. VirTra calculates its Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items it does not consider to be indicative of its performance and its ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because management believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to VirTra's investors regarding VirTra's financial condition and results of operations and because Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in VirTra's industry, several of which present a form of Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of VirTra's results as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative for net income, cash flows from operating activities and other consolidated income or cash flows statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the following tables:
