ICE® Software

Our manufacturing approach is built on a foundation of technology, the core of which is our proprietary ICE Software. We use ICE to sell, design, visualize, configure, price, communicate, engineer, construct, specify, order and manage projects. ICE enables us to efficiently manufacture fully custom interiors while addressing challenges associated with traditional construction, including cost


overruns, inconsistent quality, delays and significant material waste. ICE also gives our clients control over the look, cost and timing of their interior construction projects.

Clients typically engage an architect or designer and initially design their interior including space planning, materials, colors, finishes, which are then often presented in two-dimensional renderings or a building information model (“BIM”). A Distribution Partner imports this design into ICE and prices projects in real time. Clients can make changes after the design is imported into ICE, which will immediately be reflected in the price quote. Throughout these iterations, clients can explore and walk through their proposed space in immersive and interactive 3D virtual reality, on-screen computer renderings, and floorplan details so they can more readily understand the design. Throughout every stage of the process design changes can be made easily and in real time. We believe this is a significantly enhanced experience for our clients as compared with the experience of reviewing a two-dimensional blueprint or CAD drawing or user expertise intensive BIM file. In addition to our core product offering, DIRTT enables integrations with technology, custom graphics, writable surfaces, and Breathe® Living Walls. Further product information can be found on dirtt.com.

Sustainability and Environmental Matters

DIRTT aims to minimize the ICE toolsenvironmental impact of interior construction through careful material selection, efficient operations, a system designed for future adaptability, and long product lifecycles. We work with clients to understand their unique sustainability goals and identify how building with DIRTT can support LEED, WELL, Living Building Challenge, and other green building standards they may be targeting. Our sustainability team helps to calculate various elements of the DIRTT scope that enable these experiences at eachsupport certification.

Approximately 40% of solid waste in the United States derives from construction and demolition. In contrast, DIRTT’s agile construction system makes it quick, easy, and cost effective to evolve interior spaces through future reconfigurations and relocations, while minimizing waste. Our agile system is designed for disassembly to reduce the carbon footprint of new construction and future changes. We further reduce waste through efficient manufacturing and pre-assembled solutions.

We continuously evaluate the environmental impact of our Distribution Partners,materials, considering impact on the wellness of the occupants using the spaces we currently have four specialized virtual reality walk-through centers, including one at our corporate headquarters, that allow clientsbuild and life cycles of the products we make. DIRTT endeavors to use virtual reality headsetsmaterials with high recycled content, bio-based content, and low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Most DIRTT assemblies are certified through Science Certification Systems (SCS) Indoor Advantage Gold, recognizing their low-emitting properties. DIRTT wall panel and casework facilities are certified to physically walkhandle materials with FSC® certification (FSC-C006900), ensuring FSC certified products may be specified.

We recognize the vital importance of reducing embodied carbon within DIRTT products. Our environmentally conscious production facilities are continuously evaluated by cross-functional teams who assess and implement energy efficiency strategies. For example, to further reduce our operational carbon footprint, DIRTT’s US factories are powered by renewable energy through a 3D virtual reality modelour purchase of their design. ICE’s virtual and augmented reality technology, including applications for phones, tablets and PCs, allows project stakeholders in different physical locations to meet in real time to visualize, move about, interact with, discuss and edit their future spaces without having to visit oneGreen-e® certified renewable energy credits (RECs). We further reduce the impact of our virtual reality walk-through centers. ICEoperations with recycling and waste diversion programs.

DIRTT releases an annual Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report outlining our commitments to sustainability and the environment. It also provides the abilitydisclosure of our current environmental and sustainability impacts. By 2025, DIRTT has committed to export a BIM file for use in design reviewsreducing our landfill waste from 2021 levels by 35% and sourcing or producing renewable energy to cover 100% of an entire project consisting of non-DIRTT construction elements coming from many different types of software.our factory operations.

Once the client is satisfied with the design in ICE, the specifications are transmitted to our manufacturing facilities, where the physical product solutions are created to the exact design standards and specifications set forth in the design. ICE’s detailed bill of material data output is key to managing the many aspects of the manufacturing process, including product inventory and cataloguing, price quotation, order submission, parts manufacturing, and production management, thereby facilitating the delivery of custom solutions with shorter production times. We allocate production among our manufacturing facilities based on proximity to the job site and available capacity. ICE’sFurther information allows a project to be tracked in detail across the entire life of the project, from sales, production, delivery, and installation. The ICE file (containing a project’s engineering and manufacturing data) generated during the design and specification process is preserved andabout DIRTT’s sustainability practices can be used for optimizing future reconfigurations, renovations, technology integration initiatives and changes to a client’s spacefound at lower cost than traditional construction methods.dirtt.com/sustainability.

Our Business Strategy

Our goal is to help clients envision and design interior construction projects and then build and deliver those projects faster, cleaner, more efficiently and with a better overall client experience and satisfaction than traditionalconventional construction methods. The modular aspect of our DIRTT Solutionsconstruction system allows them to be easily reconfigured with a minimal amount of waste as client space needs change.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following attributes provide us with competitive strengths in the interior solutions manufacturingindustrialized construction industry:

Leader in Integrated Design and Manufacturing Technology. We believe our ICE Software is the only interior construction technology that efficiently integrates the design, configuration, and virtual reality visualization processes

with the manufacturing process. The use of 3D technology in a design environment, utilizing video game technology for real time decision making, is an approach pioneered by DIRTT.

with the manufacturing process. The use of 3D technology in a design environment, utilizing video game technology for real time decision making, is an approach pioneered by DIRTT.

Easy and Intuitive Software Interface. Our ICE Software is a fast, powerful tool with an intuitive user interface. Our software’s ease of use enables rapid time-to-value for our clients and collaboration among all the stakeholders involved in the design, reconfiguration, budgeting and manufacturing processes. Our use of 3D virtual reality and augmented (mixed) reality technologies enables clients to visualize and modify their designs before manufacturing begins, thereby reducing cost and time to completion.

Proprietary Solutions Components. The physical components that comprise our DIRTT Solutionsconstruction system have been designed to provide clients with numerous options and full modularity. As a result, we are able to create interior environments that are fully customizable and not limited by a pre-set product list. The modular nature of our components allows them to be reconfigured or adapted easily, with minimal disruption to the occupants of the space and with minimal job site waste.

Strong DistributionConstruction Partner and Sales Network. Our strong network of DistributionConstruction Partners and DIRTT sales representatives allows us to maximize our geographic reach, helps build brand awareness in the interior construction market, and enhances our positioning in our target markets.

Superior Results Compared to TraditionalConventional Design and Construction. We believe we produce superior client results as compared with traditionalconventional design and construction methods in sequencing, certainty, budget allocation, and outcome.

Effective Sequencing. Conventional construction generally follows a rigid sequencing process. Typically, wall framing is constructed first, followed by floors and electrical and data networks. This process is then followed by drywall installation, painting, and flooring, and then installation or building of millworkcasework (millwork) and fixtures. These steps generate significant waste and create opportunities for delay, change orders, cost overruns and rework. In contrast, DIRTT Solutions design and integrate the walls, floors and ceiling, including the finish, electrical wiring and data networks.DIRTT's approach integrates various product applications as tailored to specific project needs. They are manufactured off-site and arrive on-site organized, labeled and ready to be installed. This enables the interior solutions to be produced concurrently with on-site construction work, thereby reducing on-site time and the overall construction schedule.

Certainty. Our technology-based design and manufacturing solutions address changes in design, communications with clients, and material costs with more certainty than conventional construction methods, which often involve retrofitting electrical and data networks, change orders, uncertain timelines, and costly rework. Our controlled manufacturing environment reduces deficiencies and errors and produces more consistent solutions in predictable time frames.

Budget. Because of our integrated design, visualization and manufacturing technologies, we can price the effect of design choices and changes immediately and deliver the fully designed, manufactured interior solutions ready to install. This provides budget certainty both in the cost of our DIRTT Solutions as well as in on-site labor for the installation process.

Outcome. Our interior spaces look like the images our clients expect from the design drawings and virtual visualizations, because those same drawings and visualizations drive the manufacturing process. Plumbing, electrical, A/V and data networks are integrated into the architecture of our DIRTT Solutions. For example, DIRTT Walls carry an aesthetic of permanent walls, but if an IT or facilities team needs to get inside the wall for any reason, they can use a tool to remove the surface of the wall to examine the wall cavity quickly, cleanly and quietly. This eliminates the need to knock down, and then patch and repaint, drywall or reconfigure fixtures and cabinetry. Our modular designs offer flexibility and interconnectivity with any technology, furniture, millworkcasework (millwork) or DIRTT Solutions that were previously used or that willmay be used in the future, allowing clients to reconfigure and repurpose their space while reducing disruptive and time-consuming demolition and waste removal.

DistributionConstruction Partners and Sales Network

We primarily sell DIRTT Solutions through a network of independent DistributionDIRTT Construction Partners working in conjunction with local DIRTT sales representatives, as well as internal DIRTT industry specialists, business development professionals and a dedicated DistributionConstruction Partner support team. DistributionConstruction Partners and local sales representatives are located in cities throughout the United States and Canada, as well aswith additional locations in select international markets.Singapore and the United Kingdom. The use of a dispersed network of DistributionConstruction Partners greatly enhances our ability to drive awareness of the DIRTT brand and understanding of our approach to construction throughout our markets.

9


As part of our distribution agreements, our 72 DistributionConstruction Partners are typically required to invest in their own DIRTT Experience Center (“DXC”) so that they are able to effectively showcase DIRTT Solutions. These DXCs are showrooms that provide


mock-ups of DIRTT Solutions and related product offerings. As well, DIRTT maintains DXCs in Calgary, Toronto, Chicago, New York City, Savannah, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, with an additional DXC under construction inand Dallas.

Our DistributionConstruction Partners operate under agreements that outline sales goals and marketing territories which are generally non-exclusive. We expect our DistributionConstruction Partners to build regional DIRTT-dedicated teams (sales, design and project management) and to use our ICE Software in the sales process. In addition to sales and marketing, our DistributionConstruction Partners provide value throughout the construction process. At the pre-construction stage, DistributionConstruction Partners provide design assistance services to the architect and designer; throughout the construction process, DistributionConstruction Partners act as a specialty subcontractor to the general contractor and provide installation and other construction services. Post-move in, DistributionConstruction Partners provide warranty work, ongoing maintenance and reconfiguring support. Local DIRTT sales representatives work closely with the DistributionConstruction Partners throughout the process to ensure successful project implementation and the highest client satisfaction. DistributionConstruction Partners generally place orders for DIRTT Solutions directly with us and pay us directly for such orders.

We have the ability to bring on new DistributionConstruction Partners in a wide range of geographic areas, which permits us to quickly establish a presence in new market areas. Our DistributionConstruction Partners also scale our virtual reality technology, such as our smart phone- and tablet-based applications, to fit their capacity and needs.

At December 31, 2020,2022, we had a total of 72 Distribution67 Construction Partners and 6146 sales representatives across North America. We are not dependent on any one DistributionConstruction Partner or sales representative.

Strategic accounts are a cornerstone in our strategy to drive long-term sustainable and predictable growth. These types of clients manage large real estate footprints in numerous locations. For these clients it is advantageous and important to establish consistency in design and execution, repeatability, and speed to market. While these relationships can take time to develop, once they are established, the time and resources required to execute additional projects is reduced, which we believe will create profitable, predictable revenue streams. In return, clients benefit from a single point of accountability at DIRTT, a strong network of partners, full lifecycle support from established design standards and pre-construction expert support for their architects, designers and general contractors from field work to post installation support.

Manufacturing and Properties

Our DIRTT Solutions are currently manufactured at our facilities in Calgary, Alberta; Phoenix, Arizona;Alberta and Savannah, Georgia. OurOn February 22, 2022 we announced the closure of our Phoenix Facility in Arizona. On August 23, 2022, we announced the temporary suspension of operations at our Rock Hill, South Carolina Facility as the Calgary and Savannah Facilities can meet current demands. Currently our wall surfaces (which we call tiles)panels), millworkcasework and timber solutions are manufactured in Calgary, while aluminum, glass and power components are manufactured at all three locations.in Calgary and Savannah. Through distributed manufacturing we can shift production of some components among our manufacturing sites, reduce transportation times and costs, and meet targeted lead times. In 2019, we conducted an evaluation of our aluminum, tile and millwork capacities under various growth scenarios and concluded that the capacity of our aluminum manufacturing facilities is currently sufficient to support our anticipated growth. Given the longer lead time to acquire tile and millwork manufacturing equipment, combined with a lack of redundancy in those manufacturing facilities, we also concluded that we should commence construction of a new combined tile and millwork facility. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we entered into a lease for a building located inOur Rock Hill South Carolina, which will provide for approximately 130,000 square feet of manufacturing space for the combined tile and millwork factory. We currently expect construction of this factoryFacility has capabilities to be substantially completed and commissioned in the second quarter of 2021. Should the need arise, we have the expansion rights to lease an additional 130,000 square feet of space. Shouldproduce panels. If we experience additional growth, we may need to add or expand additional manufacturing facilities.facilities and resume operations at the Rock Hill Facility.

Suppliers and Raw Materials

Our inventory balances consist primarily of raw materials, which are kept on hand as components of our custom manufacturing process. Managing our raw material inventory is essential to our business, given our short lead times from order to shipment and our high level of order customization. Our key manufacturing materials are aluminum, hardware, wood and glass. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020,2022, aluminum accounted for approximately 30.9%35% of our purchased materials, while hardware, wood and glassfinishing powder & paint accounted for approximately 14.1%12%, 11.2%12%, and 7.2%9%, respectively. While we maintain multiple suppliers for key materials, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020,2022, (i) two suppliers accounted for approximately 28%38% and 24% of our aluminum supply, respectively, and two additional suppliers providing approximately 14% each (ii) two suppliers accounted for approximately 50%33% and 46%37% of our wood supply and(iii) one supplier accounted for approximately 41%94% of our paint & powder and (iv) one supplier accounted for approximately 38% of our hardware supply.

Materials are sourced domestically and, to a much lesser extent, overseas. Approximately 97%93% of our materials are manufactured and purchased in North America. Purchase decisions are made on the basis of quality, cost, quality and ability to meet delivery requirements. We do not typically enter into long-term agreements with suppliers. In general, adequate supplies of raw materials are available to all our operations and to date we have not been materially impacted by supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, other than inflationary price pressures across substantially all of our raw material requirements, although aluminum purchases may be subject to market capacity constraints.

Technology and Development

We continue to focus on developing client-centric innovations and enhancements of both ICE Software and DIRTT Solutions with a primary focus on improving client experience, increasing market penetration and growing key markets. At December 31, 2020,2022, we employed 10590 employees within our technology and development groups and, including capitalized amounts, invested $10.3 million, $11.1 million and $11.6 million $11.3 millionin 2022, 2021 and $9.4 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in innovation activities.


Clients

Clients

DIRTT’s principal geographic markets are the United States Canada, and to a more limited extent, select international markets.Canada. Our revenue is derived almost entirely from projects in North America sold by our North American DistributionConstruction Partners.

Our revenue opportunities primarily come from commercial projects, including both new construction projects and renovations of existing buildings. Clients range from small owner-managed businesses to multinational Fortune 500 companies across a variety of industries, including healthcare, education, financial services, government and military, manufacturing, non-profit, energy, professional services, retail, technology, and hospitality. We view DIRTT Solutions as generally industry agnostic, with applications in many different industries with minimal adjustments. We are not dependent on any one client or industry segment. No single client represented more than 10% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020, 20192022, 2021, or 2018.2020.

Competition

The overall market for interior construction is fragmented and highly competitive. The principal competitive factors in the interior construction industry include price (including cost certainty), speed, quality, customization, and service. Our main competitors are comprised primarily of conventional construction firms, individual tradespeople (including framers, drywall installers, and interior product designers) and modular systems manufacturers. Additionally, conventional construction firms are beginning to develop customizable wall paneling and other interior construction solutions and may directly compete with our DIRTT Solutions. We also compete with commercial furniture manufacturers, such as Teknion Corporation, Haworth Inc. and Allsteel Inc., who offer a variety of prefabricated interior wall solutions. We expect competition to increase as new entrants or solutions enter the interior construction market. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors”.

Seasonality

The construction industry has also historically experienced seasonal slowdowns related to winter weather conditions and holiday schedules, which affect shipping and on-site installation dates, in the fourth and first quarters of each calendar year. Our business has generally, but not always, followed this trend with a slight time lag, leading to stronger sales in the second half of the year versus the first half. Weather factors can also influence third-party exterior construction schedules and site conditions, which may in turn affect timing of interior renovations.builds.

Due to the fixed nature of certain of our manufacturing costs, such as our facilities leases and related indirect operating costs, periods of higher revenue volume tend to generate higher gross profit and operating income margins while periods of lower volume tend to result in lower gross profit and operating income margins. Quarters that contain consistent monthly manufacturing volumes tend to generate higher gross profit than those where manufacturing levels vary significantly from month to month.

Patent and Intellectual Property Rights

Our success depends, in part, upon our intellectual property rights relating to our products, production processes, our technology, including our ICE Software, and other operations. We rely on a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements, as well as patent, copyright and trademark laws, to protect our proprietary rights and competitive advantage. We register our patents and trademarks as we deem appropriate and take measures to defend patents where we deem others are

Sustainability and Environmental Matters

Conventional construction typically generates substantial waste. According to the Environmental Protection Agency’s 2018 Fact Sheet, approximately 189 million tons of building construction and demolition waste was generated in 2018, approximately 30% of which was related to wood products, drywall and plasters. Imprecise calculations or last-minute design changes may result in excess materials on the job site, such as wiring, drywall, wood, paint and flooring, that are sometimes unable to be reused or recycled. Measuring and cutting materials on-site leads to scrap waste that generally is sent to landfills. Sustainability is an integral component of our corporate brand identity and DIRTT Solutions. DIRTT Solutions are designed for disassembly, are form-fit and allow for less materials waste throughout the manufacturing and installation process. We integrate environmentally friendly elements into our business wherever possible, including utilizing solar energy at most of our factories to offset a portion of the cost of electricity and the environmental impact of our operations, and utilizing materials with high recycled content in our DIRTT Solutions. We also ship DIRTT Solutions with recyclable or reusable packing and shipping materials.

The adoption of environmentally responsible building codes and standards, such as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED”) rating system established by the U.S. Green Building Council, also has the potential to increase demand for products, systems and services that contribute to building sustainable spaces. All of our DIRTT Solutions can contribute to the award of LEED credits and other green building rating systems. We continue to develop new products, systems and services to address market demand for products that enable construction of buildings that require fewer natural resources to build, operate and maintain. Our EnzoTM line of wall components received the Canadian Green Building Council’s Green Building Product of the Year Award in 2015 due to its ingenuity and application, particularly as a benefit to healthcare facilities. With the help of Climate Earth Inc., in 2014 DIRTT was the first modular wall manufacturer to complete a full scope Life Cycle Assessment, resulting in 15 Environmental Product Declarations. In May 2019, we completed our second Life Cycle Assessment and released updated Environmental Product Declarations.

Government Regulations

The operation of our business is subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety, and the environment. As an owner or operator of various manufacturing facilities, we must comply with these laws and regulations at the federal, state, provincial and local levels in both the United States and Canada. Failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil, or criminal enforcement actions, including the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of investigative or remedial requirements, or the issuance of orders limiting current or future operations. Certain environmental statutes impose strict, joint and several liability for costs required to clean up and restore sites where hazardous substances or industrial wastes have been mismanaged or otherwise released.

While we do not believe that compliance with federal, state, provincial, or local environmental laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations, we cannot provide any assurances that future events, such as changes in existing laws or regulations, the promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the development or discovery of new facts or conditions related to our operations will not cause us to incur significant costs.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings

We may be involved from time to time in various lawsuits, claims, investigations, and other legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business, including matters involving our products, intellectual property, relationships with suppliers, relationships with DistributionConstruction Partners, relationships with competitors, employees, and other matters. We may, for example, be a party to various litigation matters that involve product liability, tort liability, and claims under other allegations, including claims from our employees either individually or collectively. We do not believe that any current claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. For additional information regarding our current legal proceedings, see Item 3. “Legal Proceedings.”

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) enacted in April 2012. Certain specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements are available to public companies that are emerging growth companies. These provisions include:

an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies;


an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about our audit and our financial statements; and

reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

12


We will continue to be an emerging growth company until the earliest of:

the last day of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion (as such amount is indexed for inflation every five years by the SEC to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest $1 million) or more;

the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”);

December 31, 2024;

the date on which we have, during the prior three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; or

the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our common shares that is held by non-affiliates (or public float) exceeds $700 million as of the last day of our second fiscal quarter in our prior fiscal year.

We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in this Annual Report and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our shareholders may be different than what you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests. However, we have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Human Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2020,2022, DIRTT employed 1,013934 employees, 98%99% full time, 2%1% part time. We had 1,013922 full-time employees consisting of 606595 employees in production, 11574 employees in sales and marketing, 10590 employees in technology and development, 10290 employees in operations support, and 8573 general and administrative employees. At year-end, approximately 54%50% of our workforce are salaried employees and approximately 46%50% are compensated on an hourly basis. As of December 31, 2020,2022, approximately 32%28% of our workforce was based in the United States, and approximately 68%72% was based onin Canada. Our 20202022 hiring efforts were directed towards both our manufacturing and non- manufacturingnon-manufacturing functions. This reflects the build outstreamlining of our commercial organization, accounting for 30% of our new hires, and streamlining our operations space, accounting for 55%79% of our hiring activities. The Company’s recent gender diversity data shows that 25% (2021 – 28%) of our employees are female company wide. In 20202022 we hired 175213 employees, with 41%29% of new employees being female.

Diversity & Inclusion

DIRTT recognizes the importance of progressing conversations and initiatives around diversity and inclusion. “Grow through diversity” is one of our core values. Our strategy encompasses leadership training around key topics related to unconscious bias, allyship, and the value of attracting and retaining a diverse and inclusive organization. The strategy further focuses on the establishment and deployment of learning streams, mentoring circles, incorporatingand incorporation of inclusive language into our offer packages and benefit materials, and the implementation of a diversity counsel.materials. Our efforts begin at the early stages of the employee life cycle, where diversity candidates are highlighted and presented to hiring managers for review. We seek to hire based on talent, and skill, / capability needs, and fit. DIRTT has also incorporated diversity into various internal programs including succession planning and risk profiles.

Culture & Engagement

DIRTT has put new measures in place to assess and enhance the level of engagement and satisfaction of our employees. Specific activities include the deployment of a performance management tool, catered to drive discussions around team goals, performance and development opportunities, and greater transparency around policy and procedures, tied to cost and risk mitigation.

In the secondfourth quarter of 20202022, we deployed our firstbegan the implementation of a new employee engagement platform called Employee Voice that will deploy company-wide engagement surveysurveys focused on core themes of meaningful work, supportive management, positive work environment, growth opportunity, trust in leadershipworkplace civility, communication, work-life balance, retention, job satisfaction, employee engagement and mental health awareness.

successfully completed our 2020 holiday giving campaign which was a coordinated in-person and virtual effort in support of foodbanksfood banks across North America.America, focusing on the cities in which we operate. The support for this campaign helped to reconnect DIRTT employees’ desire to give back with tangible outcomes for their communities. We take measures to address the mental health of our employees through a variety of company-wide initiatives.

Our core commitment to organizational safety resulted in a total recordable incident rateTotal Recordable Incident Frequency (“TRIF”) of 0.480.1 in 2020,2022, more than 75%97% below the industry average and a significant improvement from 4.90.5 TRIF in 2019.2021. Our enhanced health and safety protocols and robust contact tracing have been effective thus far in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 infections within our facilities and have helped us to avoid any material production disruptions.

We use a range of compensation incentives which vary by role, including:including annual variable compensation determined based on a combination of achieving team objectives and financial targets for the Company; quarterly bonuses for our manufacturing personnel paid on adherence to targets related to safety, quality, delivery, inventory and productivity; and commissions based on sales goals.sales. We also use various forms of stock-based compensation as a retention tool and to further align employee interests with the interests of our shareholders. We monitor our retention by way of voluntary turnover, which was 14%17% in 2020.2022.

In response to the COVID 19 pandemic, DIRTT established a business continuity and response committee to develop robust

company-wide COVID-19 protocols and guidelines. The committee has prepared easily accessible COVID-19 guidelines for all areas

of the business, including manufacturing, travel, client tours and day-to-day operations. In addition, we have established protocols for

reporting and contact tracing, and have limited access to our facilities, offices and other spaces to essential operations to minimize the

risk of exposure to COVID-19. We have also implemented enhanced cleaning protocols, increased signage, shift rotations in

cafeterias, limited headcounts in conference and meeting rooms, adopted policies with respect to essential workers, and work-from home guidelines and best practices, including ergonomics. In addition, we have taken measures to address the mental health of our

employees through a variety of company-wide initiatives. We also provide personal protective equipment to all of our employees, and

to clients that are engaged in essential tours. We have established a safety champions committee responsible for ensuring any

employee or visitor coming into our spaces is briefed on our COVID-19 protocols and guidelines. Lastly, we have implemented an app for reserving workspaces to help our employees adhere to our social distancing protocols, provide for greater support of contact tracing and ensure we adhere to capacity levels that will help us maintain safety protocols related to COVID-19.

None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We have never experienced labor-related work stoppages or strikes, and we believe we currently have a positive relationship with our employees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investing in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and Part II, Item 7. entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and in any documents incorporated in this Annual Report by reference, before deciding whether to invest in our common shares. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our common shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Although we have discussed all known material risks, the risks described below are not the only ones that we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Certain statements below are forward-looking statements. See also “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Annual Report.


Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

TheOur business, financial condition, results of operations and growth could be harmed by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant and adverse effect on our business.related government measures.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption. The extent to which COVID-19, or other public health pandemics or epidemics, impact our employees, operations, customers, suppliers, and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of 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;activity (including related supply chain and labor shortages and their effects on construction schedules and timing); the effect on our customers’ demand for our DIRTT Solutions;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 actions, orders and policies regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, including temporary closures of non-life sustaining businesses, shelter-in-place orders, and travel, social distancing and quarantine policies, the implementation and enforcement of which may vary by individual jurisdictions. On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued executive orders establishing, among other things, new vaccination requirements applicable to U.S. federal workers and contractors, large employers and healthcare workers. As a federal contractor, we are subject to the executive order. Although the Biden administration later updated its guidance to indicate that it will not enforce this vaccination requirement, additional vaccine mandates may be announced in jurisdictions in which our businesses operate. Our implementation of these rules may result in attrition, including attrition of skilled labor, and difficulty securing future labor needs. Additionally, our implementation of these rules may impact our ability to maintain satisfactory arrangements with third-party vendors and service providers, to the extent they are subject to vaccination requirements and they or their employees are unable or unwilling to comply. Any of thesethe foregoing events could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity or results of operations.

We are under the leadership of a reconstituted Board of Directors who are in the process of implementing a variety of operational, organizational, cultural and other changes to our business, and we may not be able to achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits of this transformation plan. We are also undergoing changes at a senior management level, including the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer in June 2022.

Our Board of Directors was entirely reconstituted at our annual and special meeting of shareholders held on April 26, 2022 and, following that meeting, there was significant turnover in the Company's leadership. In addition to overseeing the changes to DIRTT’s leadership, the reconstituted Board of Directors has undertaken an extensive review of DIRTT’s operations, a process which is still ongoing (see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Outlook”), and are in the process of implementing a variety of operational, organizational, cultural and other changes to our business, including plans to meet pipeline demand and expand revenues. The timely integration of senior management will be critical in the successful implementation of the Board of Directors' plans. We may not be successful in achieving some or all of the anticipated benefits of these plans, which may have an adverse effect on our results from operations and financial condition.

The effectiveness of certain elements of DIRTT’s administrative systems:

DIRTT has identified the need to upgrade its inventory management and cost accounting systems at some point in the future to enable scalable growth. Other information technology may require investment in the future. However, the success, in whole or in part, of this investment cannot be guaranteed.

We may not be successful in implementing our strategic plan or managing growth.growth

In November 2019, we unveiled a four-year strategic plan to scale our business based on three key pillars: commercial execution, manufacturing excellence and innovation. We have implemented several steps in furtheranceImplementation of our strategic plan, including improvements in our commercial function and enhancements to our product suite and software platform.  

While we are confident in our strategy implementation will require maturity of systems and processes across the organization. There is also no assurance that successful implementation will lead to sustainable, profitable growth, and may itself be disruptive to the Company. Failure to implement our strategic plan could materially and adversely affect our near-term sales, commercial activities, and ability to develop and sustain profitable growth. In addition, the success and timing of our implementation may be dependent upon external factors outside of our control, including the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative impact on construction activities as a whole. However, we remain confident that DIRTT’s value proposition will be as or even more relevant in the post-pandemic world.

Our strategy also depends in part on our ability to maintain and manage growth effectively. Growth in our headcount and operations may place significant demands on our management and operational and financial resources. Additionally, managing growth of our operations and personnel requires continuous improvement of our internal controls and reporting systems and procedures. Failure to effectively manage growth could result in difficulty providing current DIRTT Solutions and introducing future solutions, difficulty in securing clients and DistributionConstruction Partners, declines in quality or client satisfaction, increases in costs or other operational difficulties. Any of these difficulties could lead to a loss of investor confidence and adversely affect our business performance, financial condition and results of operations.

Our industry is highly competitive, and we may not be successful in educating potential clients about the benefits of our innovative and unique approach to interior construction as compared to traditionalconventional interior construction methods.

We operate in the highly competitive interior construction industry that is constantly developing and changing. We compete against conventional construction firms, individual tradespeople, and modular systems, and commercial furniture manufacturers. New market entrants and conventional construction firms are also beginning to develop customizable wall paneling and other modular interior construction solutions, and we expect this trend to continue. In addition, we may face pricing pressure from competitors or new market entrants who take on projects at reduced prices or employ other competitive strategies. While we believe our innovative design, quality, schedule and cost certainty, and network of DistributionConstruction Partners makes us well-positioned in the market, increasing competition could make it difficult to secure new projects at acceptable operating margins.

Our products are unique and offer an alternative to traditionalconventional construction techniques. Although offsite construction methods are gaining market acceptance, this still represents only a fraction of all construction methods and the overall construction market. Our ability to grow and increase market share depends, in part, on our success in continuing to increase demand for modular construction methods and products as an alternative to more traditional construction methods. While we intend to follow a strategy of innovative product development and strategic marketing efforts to enhance our position, there is no assurance that our solutions will attain a degree of market acceptance sufficient for sustained profitable operations. Failure to compete effectively by, among other things, meeting consumer preferences, developing and marketing innovative solutions, maintaining strong client service and distribution relationships, growing market share, and expanding our solutions capabilities could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations.

Our former co-founders’ competitive behavior against us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our co-founders and former executives, Mogens Smed and Barrie Loberg, have started an interior construction and manufacturing company that we believe competes with us. They, along with a number of our former employees and Distribution


Construction Partners who have joined their company have in-depth knowledge about our business, including our customers, employees, products and prospects, and we may be adversely affected by increased competition arising out of this business venture. We are engaged in litigation with Messrs. Smed and Loberg, entities with which they are involved, and other individuals relating to, among other things, enforcement of non-competition and non-solicitation obligations, alleged patent infringement, and alleged misappropriation of proprietary information by them or by us. See Item 3. “Legal Proceedings.”Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. If Messrs. Smed and Loberg further engage in a competitive business against us or if we are not successful in litigation, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We depend heavily on our network of DistributionConstruction Partners, and the loss or inattention of our DistributionConstruction Partners, or the failure of our DistributionConstruction Partners to meet their obligations to us, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently do not engage in many direct sales projects and rely almost exclusively on our network of DistributionConstruction Partners to promote brand awareness, sell and market DIRTT Solutions, and provide design, installation, distribution and other services to clients on each project. While we are not dependent on any single DistributionConstruction Partner, sales generated by approximately 10% of our DistributionConstruction Partners comprised approximately 40%39% of our total revenues for 2020.2022 (2021 – 40%). The loss of any top performing DistributionConstruction Partners, particularly to our competitors, may negatively affect our sales, financial condition or results of operations. It may further impair our ability to maintain a market presence in a particular geographic region until a new DistributionConstruction Partner relationship is established, which would require significant time and resources.resources, given DIRTT is typically a standalone line of business in their portfolio.

16


Although we provide our DistributionConstruction Partners with training, education, and support, they may be unable to successfully sell our DIRTT Solutions, execute projects or manage client experiences and relationships. In addition, our DistributionConstruction Partners and their clients may face financial difficulties or may become insolvent, which could result in the delay or cancellation of their plans to purchase DIRTT Solutions or lead to our inability to obtain payment of accounts receivable that they may owe. If we are unable to maintain a successful DistributionConstruction Partner network, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Increasing attention to environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters may impact our business

We have announced various voluntary ESG targets in our annual Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report outlining our commitments to sustainability, the environment, health and safety, and diversity and inclusion. However, we may not be able to meet such targets in the manner or on such a timeline as initially contemplated, including, but not limited to, as a result of unforeseen costs or technical difficulties associated with achieving such results. Any actual or perceived failure to meet our ESG targets could adversely impact our reputation and our customers’ image of our products and result in the loss of business or impede our growth initiatives. Adverse publicity regarding ESG issues and similar matters, whether or not justified, could have a negative impact on our reputation and may result in the loss of customers and our inability to secure new customer relationships. Further, our customers may be more selective for products that meet their ESG goals or standards, such as increasing demand for goods that result in lower emissions, and our products could be less competitive if we are unable to meet these standards. Despite our efforts to adapt to and address these concerns, our efforts may be insufficient. Additionally, the implementation of these initiatives may increase our costs. It is difficult to predict how our efforts with respect to social and sustainability matters will be evaluated by current and prospective investors or by our customers or business partners.

Furthermore, public statements with respect to ESG matters are becoming increasingly subject to heightened scrutiny from public and governmental authorities related to the risk of potential “greenwashing,” i.e., misleading information or false claims overstating potential ESG benefits. For example, in March 2021, the SEC established the Climate and ESG Task Force in the Division of Enforcement to identify and address potential ESG-related misconduct, including greenwashing. Certain non-governmental organizations and other private actors have also filed lawsuits under various securities and consumer protection laws alleging that certain ESG statements, goals or standards were misleading, false, or otherwise deceptive. As a result, we may face increased litigation risk from private parties and governmental authorities related to our ESG efforts. In addition, any alleged claims of greenwashing against us or others in our industry may lead to further negative sentiment and diversion of investments. Additionally, we could face increasing costs as we attempt to comply with and navigate further regulatory ESG-related focus and scrutiny.

Risks Relating to Our Products and Software

We may be unsuccessful in designing, introducing, or selling new, innovative solutions, solution features, or software.

Our future success depends in part on our continuing ability to promote and demonstrate the value proposition of DIRTT Solutions, as well as our ability to develop and sell new, innovative solutions, solution features, or software that differentiate our solutions and achieve market acceptance in a timely and cost-effective manner. We incur significant costs associated with the investment in our research and development in furtherance of our strategy that may not result in increased revenue or demand for DIRTT Solutions and that could negatively affect our results of operations. Rapidly changing technology, evolving regulatory and industry standards, and changing consumer trends, demands, and requirements require us to continuously innovate and develop new, high-quality solutions, solutions features and software. Additionally, such rapid technological changes, standards and preferences could render the complex and proprietary technology of our software and solutions obsolete. We may also be unable to successfully address these developments on a timely basis, or at all. New solutions, solution features, or software may also be less successful than we anticipated, and such offerings may fail to achieve market acceptance. If we fail to respond quickly and cost-effectively to a changing market and changing consumer preferences, our competitive position, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Our software and products may have design defects, deficiencies, or risks, and we may incur additional costs to fix any defects, deficiencies, or risks, or be subject to warranty or product liability claims.

Our software and solutions are complex and must meet the technical requirements of our clients and applicable building codes and regulations. Our solutions may contain undetected errors or design and manufacturing defects, and our software may experience quality or reliability problems, or contain bugs or other defects. Software defects may also cause errors in our manufacturing or miscalculations in ordering pricing and could lead us to incur losses and lose market share to competitors. Product or software defects could cause us to incur warranty costs, product liability costs, and repair and remediation costs. Although we maintain warranty reserves based on production, historical claims, and estimates, future warranty claims may exceed this amount. Similarly, while we maintain insurance of the types and amounts we consider commercially prudent and consistent with industry practice, such insurance coverage may not be sufficient to protect us against substantial claims. Such claims can be expensive to defend, could divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods, regardless of the ultimate outcome, and could result in negative

17


publicity. Increased costs to address product warranty claims or to defend against product liability claims may result in increased expenses and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to fluctuations in the prices of raw materials and commodities, which could adversely affect our liquidity, operating margins and financial condition.

We purchase raw materials, including aluminum, glass, and wood, from a number of local and global suppliers. The costs of these commodities can fluctuate due to changes in global supply and demand, speculationinflation, peculation in commodities futures, and changes in


tariffs or trade barriers, which can also interrupt supply. In addition, we have not historically entered into long-term agreements with vendors and may be exposed to short-term and long-term price fluctuations as a result.

Aluminum represents the largest component of our raw materials consumption. We have experienced fluctuations in the price of aluminum and anticipate that these fluctuations will continue in the future. Since 2018,In particular, during 2021 and 2022 we experienced significant price inflation across substantially all of our materials, largely due to pandemic-induced supply chain constraints, and it is unclear whether such price increases will be temporary or permanent in nature. From time to time, the U.S. government has imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum and limited the amounts of steel and aluminum coming into the United States based on the countries of origin of those imports. In 20192022 and 2020,2021, we sourced the majority of our aluminum from North America and sourced under 10% of our raw materials from outside North America. Nonetheless, substantial, prolonged upward trends in aluminum and other commodity prices, along with tariffs and import limitations, could significantly increase our costs and adversely affect our liquidity, operating margins, and financial condition.

We rely on a limited number of outside suppliers for certain key components and materials, and failure or delay in obtaining the necessary components or materials could delay or prevent the manufacturing or distribution of our DIRTT Solutions.

We rely on certain key suppliers for raw materials and components, including aluminum, glass, wood, paint, and hardware. We maintain multiple suppliers for key materials, although for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, (i) two suppliers accounted for approximately 28%38% and 24% of our aluminum supply, respectively, and two additional suppliers provided approximately 14% each, (ii) two suppliers accounted for approximately 50%33% and 46%37% of our wood supply, and(iii) one supplier accounted for approximately 41%94% of our paint and powder supply, and (iv) one supplier accounted for approximately 38% of our hardware supply.supply. While we believe there are other vendors for most of our key requirements, certain materials and components meeting our quality standards are available only through a limited number of vendors. If we are required to obtain another source for these materials or components, we may not be able to obtain pricing on as favorable terms or on terms comparable to our competitors. Any failure or delay in obtaining the necessary raw materials or components in the quantities and quality required may result in increased costs and delays in manufacturing or distributing our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations. A vendor may also choose, subject to existing contracts, to modify its relationship with us due to general economic concerns or specific concerns relating to that vendor or us, at any time. These modifications might include additional requirements from our suppliers that we provide them additional security in the form of prepayments or with letters of credit. Any significant change in the terms that we have with our key suppliers could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations.

Risks Relating to Market Conditions

Global economic, political and social conditions and financial markets may impact our ability to do business and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our industry is cyclical and highly sensitive to macroeconomic conditions. Overall declines or reductions in construction and renovation due to economic downturns, unemployment and office vacancies, difficulties in the financial services sector and credit markets, and imposition of trade barriers can impact the demand for our products. Financial difficulties experienced by our suppliers, DistributionConstruction Partners or clients could also result in, among other things, inadequate project financing, project delays, inability to pay accounts receivable or disruptions in our supply chain. Any general economic, political, or social conditions that may contribute to financial difficulties experienced by us, our suppliers, DistributionConstruction Partners, or clients may adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

We are exposed to currency exchange rates, interest rates, tax rates, and other fluctuations, including those resulting from changes in laws.

Our revenues and expenses are collected and paid in different currencies, including the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar. Fluctuations in the relative values of any such currency expose us to foreign exchange risk and could have a material and adverse effect on our cash flows, revenues and results of operations. We also have currency exchange exposure to the extent of a mismatch between foreign-currency denominated revenues and expenditures – in particular, where U.S. dollar revenues do not equal U.S. dollar expenditures. We are not currently using exchange rate derivatives to manage currency exchange rate risks. There are currently no significant restrictions on the repatriation of capital and distribution of earnings to foreign entities from any of the jurisdictions in which we operate. There can be no assurance that such restrictions will not be imposed in the future.

18


Most of DIRTT's debt is on fixed interest rates. The Extended RBC Facility is subject to market interest rates. We are not currently using interest rate derivatives to manage interest rate risks. If interest rates rise this could have a material and adverse effect on our cash flows, revenues and results of operations and may adversely affect our ability to access financing.

Compliance with new or amended tax laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. We base our tax positions upon our understanding of the tax laws (including, applicable tax treaties) of the countries in which we have assets or conduct business activities. However, our tax positions are subject to review and possible challenges by taxing authorities, including as to the computation and allocation of income, transfer pricing and other complex issues. This includes adverse changes to the manner in which Canada, the United States and other countries tax local and foreign corporations and interpret or change their tax laws and applicable tax treaties.treaties, including in light of the increased focus by the U.S. Congress, the Canadian government, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and other government agencies in jurisdictions where we do business on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. We cannot determine in advance the extent to which such jurisdictions may amend their tax laws, review our tax positions, or assess additional taxes or interest and penalties on such taxes. In addition, our effective tax rate may be increased by changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, our cash management strategies, local tax rates, or interpretations of tax laws.


Risks Relating to Intellectual Property and Information Security

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property adequately from infringement by third parties, and we may also be subject to claims that we infringe on intellectual property rights of others.

We rely on a combination of contract, copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and other measures to protect our intellectual property. There can be no assurance that our various patents, copyrights or trademarks will offer sufficient protection and prevent misappropriation of our proprietary rights in our products, software or processes. We also may not be granted patents, copyrights or trademarks on our pending or proposed applications, and granted applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented in the future. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our applications and use information that we regard as proprietary to create products or services that compete with ours. We enforce our intellectual property rights where appropriate, but the cost of doing so may be substantial and could outweigh the potential benefits, and we may be unsuccessful in our enforcement efforts. Failure to protect or maintain the proprietary nature of our intellectual property could adversely affect our ability to sell original products and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, our competitors or other third parties may own or claim to own intellectual property in technology areas relating to our technology, including ICE Software, manufacturing processes, and DIRTT Solutions. Although we do not believe that our software or DIRTT Solutions infringe on the proprietary rights of any third parties, claims may arise regarding infringement or invalidity claims (or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims). Such assertions or prosecutions, regardless of their merit, may subject us to significant liabilities, require us to enter into royalty and licensing arrangements on unfavorable terms, prevent us from assembling or licensing certain of our products, subject us to injunctions restricting our sale of products, cause severe disruptions to our operations or the marketplaces in which we compete, or require us to satisfy indemnification commitments with our clients, including contractual provisions under various license arrangements. A damages award against us could include an award of royalties or lost profits and, if the court finds willful infringement, treble damages and attorneys’ fees. This may cause us to expend significant costs and resources, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

If we are unable to protect our information systems against data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, our operations could be disrupted and our reputation and profitability could be negatively affected.

In the ordinary course of our business, we generate, collect and store confidential and proprietary information, including intellectual property and business information. The secure storage, maintenance, and transmission of and access to this information is important to our operations and reputation. We use automated software and hardware solutions to protect our on-premise and cloud infrastructure; conduct routine third-party evaluations and vulnerability testing to identify and mitigate risks; and deploy training programs throughout the company. We have experienced cyber-based attacks, but to our knowledge, we have not experienced any material disruptions or breaches of our information technology systems or platforms. However, there is no guarantee that our security systems, processes or procedures are adequate to safeguard against all data security breaches, misuse of data, cyber-attacks, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming or human errors or other similar events. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential information of a client, DistributionConstruction Partner, employee, supplier or Company information could result in financial losses, exposure to litigation risks and liability (including regulatory liability), damage to our reputation, and disruptions in our operations, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we maintain cybersecurity insurance offor the types of coverage and amounts we consider it commercially prudent and consistent with industry practice, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all losses relating to an information security breach.

19


The regulatory environment related to information security, data collection and use, and privacy is increasingly rigorous, with new and frequently changing requirements, and compliance with those requirements could result in additional costs. The costs associated with information security, such as increased investment in technology, the costs of compliance with privacy laws, and costs incurred to prevent or remediate information security breaches, could be substantial and adversely affect our business. A significant compromise of sensitive employee, DistributionConstruction Partner, client or supplier data in our possession could result in legal damages and regulatory penalties. In addition, the costs of defending such actions or remediating breaches could be material.

Damage to our information technology and software systems could impair our ability to effectively provide DIRTT Solutions and adversely affect our reputation, relationships with clients, financial condition and results of operations.

Our information technology and software networks and systems, which include the processing, transmission and storage of information, are integrated with our manufacturing processes and essential to our business operations. These systems are vulnerable to, among other things, damage or interruption from power outages, network failures or natural disasters, loss or corruption of data, human error, employee misconduct and difficulties associated with upgrades, installations of major software or hardware, and integration with new systems. While we maintain retention backups to geo-diverse digital and physical locations and have a recovery data center, the data center and other protective measures we take could prove to be inadequate. Any disruption in our systems or unauthorized disclosure of information could result in delayed manufacturing and delivery of our DIRTT Solutions, legal claims, a


loss of intellectual property and a disruption in operations, all of which could adversely affect our reputation, relationships with clients, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Government Regulations and Enforcement

We may incur significant costs complying with environmental, health and safety laws and related claims, and failure to comply with these laws and regulations could expose us to significant liabilities, which could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We are subject to laws, regulations, and other requirements with respect to workers’ health and safety and environmental matters in the United States, Canada and other countries in which we operate. Environmental laws and regulations impose, among other things, restrictions, liabilities and obligations in connection with the production, processing, preparation, handling, storage, transportation, disposal and management of wastes and other substances, and the prevention and remediation of environmental effects. Health and safety laws and regulations impose, among other things, requirements designed to ensure the protection of workers. New or more stringent laws and regulations, including those relating to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, may be adopted in the future and could impact our facilities, raw material suppliers, the transportation and distribution of our solutions, and our clients, which could reduce demand for our solutions or cause us to incur additional operating costs. In addition, certain foreign laws and regulations may affect our ability to export products outside of or import products into the United States or Canada. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in civil or criminal liability, damages and fines, and our operations could be curtailed, suspended or shutdown and our reputation, ability to attract employees, and results of operations could be adversely affected. Private lawsuits, including claims for remediation of contamination, personal injury or property damage, or actions by regional, national, state and local regulatory agencies, including enforcement or cost-recovery actions, may materially increase our costs.

These factors may materially increase the amount we must invest to bring our processes into compliance with legal requirements and impose additional expenses on our operations. In addition, any changes in these laws or regulations or changes in our manufacturing processes may require us to request changes to our existing permits or obtain new permits. We may also be unable to obtain or maintain, from time to time, all required environmental regulatory approvals. A delay in obtaining any required environmental regulatory approvals or the failure to obtain and comply with such approvals could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Financial Results

We have had negative cash flow from operating activities.

We had negative cash flow from operating activities for prior years, including the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Continued negative operating cash flow may compromise our ability to make interest and principal payments on the convertible unsecured subordinated debentures issued on January 25, 2021 and December 1, 2021 (collectively, the “Debentures”) on a timely basis, or at all, and to execute our strategic plan. Until we are able to generate positive cash flow from operating activities over a sustained period, our ability to finance our operations will be dependent on our cash reserves and available credit facilities and, if required, our ability to obtain additional external financing. Although we had $3.2 million in cash provided from operating activities during the fourth quarter of 2022 and we anticipate we will have positive cash flow from operating activities over at least the next twelve months, we cannot guarantee that such future cash flow will be sufficient or other changes to our circumstances will not necessitate additional financial resources to fund our operating activities.

In response to our negative cash flow from operations, on February 22, 2022, we commenced the process of closing our Phoenix aluminum manufacturing facility, shifting related manufacturing to both our Savannah and Calgary aluminum facilities. Additionally, we eliminated approximately 18% of our salaried workforce including manufacturing and office positions in February 2022, with

20


further reduction of 36 positions in July 2022. Additionally, to offset cost inflation on our materials, we implemented product price increases comprised of 5% effective November 1, 2021, 5% effective June 1, 2022, and a further 10% effective July 21, 2022. We have also undertaken several strategic actions and a Private Placement (as defined herein) to improve our balance sheet in the short term, see “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Liquidity and Capital Resources". Although we anticipate these actions will strengthen our balance sheet and liquidity position, we cannot guarantee that such future cash flow will be sufficient or other changes to our circumstances will not necessitate additional financial resources to fund our operating activities.

We have experienced a history of losses, and despite certain periods of profitability in recent years, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and sustain profitability.

We have incurred significant losses since commencing business. We incurred net losses of $11.3$55.0 million, $53.7 million and $4.4$11.3 million for the years ended December 31, 20202022, 2021 and 2019,2020, respectively. At December 31, 2020,2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $57.3$166.3 million. These losses and accumulated deficits were due in part to the substantial investments made to grow our business and acquire clients, to further develop our service offerings through product and software development, and to ensure that we have sufficient production capacity and capability to deliver on our commitment of rapid delivery times.times and to preserve our production, innovation and commercial capabilities through the economic disruption caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic in anticipation of a significant increase in construction activity as the pandemic impacts abate. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes $13.5 million of restructuring costs associated with initiatives taken by the reconstituted Board and management to restructure the business and improve profitability and cashflows. Past results may not be indicative of our future performance, and there can be no assurance that we will generate net income in the future.

DIRTT's gross margins and resulting profitability have historically been negatively affected by the impacts of material cost inflation and the increased usage of discounting to drive higher demand. DIRTT has taken steps to improve gross margin by reducing discounts and increasing prices, including a 5% product price increase in Q4, 2021 and Q2, 2022 and a further 10% price increase in July 2022. Further, additional procurement and supply chain review procedures were established during the third quarter of 2022 to better monitor the volatility in our underlying material input costs. While the Company believes its pricing, discount structure and supply chain monitoring controls are sufficient, if we are unable to maintain or improve upon the gross profit margins delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022, if inflationary increases continue without corresponding increases in our pricing, or if such reduced discounting and price increases cause a material impact on demand, DIRTT’s results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

We have experienced, and may experience in the future, quarterly and yearly fluctuations in results of operations and financial condition.

Our results of operations and financial condition may continue to fluctuate from one quarter or year to another due to a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control. For example, we usually experience seasonal slowdowns in the first and fourth quarters of each calendar year, leading to stronger sales in the second half of the year versus the first half, and weather conditions may also delay delivery and installation on some projects. Furthermore, sales that we anticipate in one quarter may be pushed into another quarter, affecting both quarters’ results, and our actual or projected results of operations may fail to match our past performance. These events could in turn cause the market price of our common shares to fluctuate. In particular, if our results of operations do not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, who may derive their expectations by extrapolating data from recent historical results of operations, the market price of our common shares will likely decline. Due to our high fixed manufacturing costs and operating expenses, quarterly volatility in sales volumes could result in periods of low operating cash flow and negatively affect our liquidity. Due to these risk factors, quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year comparisons of our results of operations may not be an indicator of future performance.

We have recognized, and may recognize in the future, impairment charges for our goodwill and certain other non-current assets.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we impaired the $1.4 million net carrying value of goodwill on our consolidated balance sheet. Significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to our business, planned or unexpected significant changes in the use of the assets, and sustained market capitalization declines may result in the impairment of non-current assets. For the past two years we have had an indicator of impairment for our non-current assets. Any further charges relating to impairments could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in the period in which the impairment is recognized. We did not have any impairment charges for non-current assets during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Risks Related to Our Common Shares and Corporate Structure

Our share price has been and may continue to be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline. If we fail to comply with the continuing listing standards of Nasdaq, our securities could be de-listed.

Our common shares are currently listed on the TSX under the symbol “DRT” and on Nasdaq under the symbol “DRTT.” The price of our common shares has in the past fluctuated significantly, and may fluctuate significantly in the future, depending upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control and may adversely affect the market price of our common shares. These factors include: (i) variations in quarterly results of operations; (ii) deviations in our earnings from publicly disclosed forward-looking


guidance; (iii) changes in earnings estimates by analysts; (iv) our announcements or our competitors’ announcements of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; (v) general conditions in the offsite construction and manufacturing industries; (vi) sales of our common shares by our significant shareholders; (vii) fluctuations in stock market price and volume; and (viii) other general economic conditions.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the trading price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has been brought against that company. If our share price is volatile, we may become the target of securities litigation in both the United States and Canada. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources from our business and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, if the closing bid price of our common shares is below the $1.00 Nasdaq minimum requirement for 30 consecutive business days, we may become subject to de-listing proceedings. On September 7, 2022, we received a letter from Nasdaq that we have not been in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for a period of 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we are provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the notice to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement. If we do not regain compliance during the compliance period, we may be afforded a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance if, among other things, we meet certain listing requirements of, and elect to transfer to, the Nasdaq Capital Market. We can achieve compliance with the minimum bid price requirement if, during either compliance period, the closing bid price per share of our common shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common shares and assess potential actions to regain compliance, but there is no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance, including under the specified time frames.

Any de-listing of our securities could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our securities, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and less coverage of us by securities analysts, if any. Also, if in the future we were to determine that we need to seek additional equity capital, having been de-listed or being subject to de-listing proceedings could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise capital in the public or private markets.

We are governed by the corporate laws of Alberta, Canada, which in some cases have a different effect on shareholders than the corporate laws of the United States.

We are governed by the ABCA and other relevant laws, which may affect the rights of shareholders differently than those of a company governed by the laws of a U.S. jurisdiction, and may, together with our charter documents, have the effect of delaying, deterring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or may affect the price an acquiring party would be willing to offer in such an instance. The material differences between the ABCA and Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), that may have the greatest such effect include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) for certain extraordinary corporate transactions (such as amalgamations or amendments to our articles), the ABCA generally requires the voting threshold to be a special resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution, whereas DGCL generally only requires a majority vote; and (ii) under the ABCA, registered holders or beneficial owners (as defined in the ABCA) of not less than 5% of our common shares in aggregate can requisition our directors to call a special meeting of shareholders, whereas such right does not exist under the DGCL. We cannot predict whether investors will find our company and our common shares less attractive because we are governed by the corporate laws of Alberta, Canada.

Because we are a corporation incorporated in Alberta and some of our directors and officers are residents of Canada, it may be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce civil liabilities against us or our directors and officers based solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States. Similarly, it may be difficult for Canadian investors to enforce civil liabilities against our directors and officers residing outside of Canada.

We are a corporation amalgamated and existing under the laws of Alberta with our principal place of business in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Some of our directors and officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of our assets and those of such persons are located outside the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for U.S. investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our directors or officers who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under the Securities Act.Act of 1933. Investors should not assume

22


that Canadian courts: (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the securities or blue sky laws of any state within the United States or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such persons predicated upon the U.S. federal securities laws or any such state securities or blue sky laws.

Similarly, some of our directors and officers are residents of countries other than Canada and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside Canada. As a result, it may be difficult for Canadian investors to initiate a lawsuit within Canada against these non-Canadian residents. In addition, it may not be possible for Canadian investors to collect from these non-Canadian residents judgments obtained in courts in Canada predicated on the civil liability provisions of securities legislation of certain of the provinces and territories of Canada. It may also be difficult for Canadian investors to succeed in a lawsuit in the United States, based solely on violations of federal, provincial or territorial securities laws.

General Risks

Difficulties in recruiting and retaining qualified officers or employees, or experiencing labor shortages or disruptions, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our success will depend in part on our ability to attract, develop, and retain qualified personnel as needed. We have undergone significant changes at a senior management level during the year as discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report. Although we anticipate smooth transitions, any changes to members of our senior management may be disruptive to our operations, including by diverting our Board’s and management’s time and attention and a decline in employee morale. If there are any delays in this process, our business could be negatively impacted. We may be affected by labor shortages or disruptions, particularly in locations where we operate manufacturing facilities. If we fail to attract or retain qualified personnel, or experience labor shortages or disruptions, we could incur higher recruiting expenses, a loss of manufacturing capabilities, or inability to respond to significant increases in demand, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We may have additional capital needs in the future and may not be able to obtain additional capital or financing on acceptable terms.

We plan to continually invest in business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business opportunities, such as expanding our sales and marketing activities, developing new software, acquiring complementary businesses, products or technology,


and expanding or enhancing our manufacturing capabilities, including factory automation. To the extent that our existing capital is insufficient to meet our requirements, we may need to undertake equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. Further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities may result in significant share dilution. Additional new equity securities issued could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of our currently issued and outstanding common shares. Additional debt financings may involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. We cannot provide any assurance that sufficient debt or equity financing will be available for necessary or desirable expenditures or acquisitions, or to cover losses, and accordingly, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, and our liquidity could be materially and adversely affected.

We may engage in future mergers, acquisitions, agreements, consolidations, or other corporate transactions that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

While we currently have no specific plans to acquire any businesses, we may, in the future, seek to expand our business and capabilities through acquiring compatible technology, products or businesses. Additionally, we may explore other corporate transactions, including mergers, agreements, consolidations, or joint ventures, that we believe may be beneficial to our business or further specific business goals. Acquisitions involve certain risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, (i) difficulty integrating the newly acquired businesses and operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner; (ii) inability to maintain relationships with key clients, vendors and other business partners of the acquired businesses; (iii) potential loss of key employees of the acquired businesses; (iv) exposure to litigation or other claims in connection with our assumption of certain claims and liabilities of the acquired businesses; (v) diversion of management’s time and focus; and (vi) possible write-offs or impairment charges related to the acquired businesses. The occurrence of any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Item 2. Properties.

Our principal executive offices are located in Calgary, Alberta, where we lease approximately 73,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space. Our lease expires in September 2022.2027. Our principal manufacturing facilities are currently located in Calgary,

23


Alberta; Phoenix, Arizona; and Savannah, Georgia. On February 22, 2022 we announced our intention to close the Phoenix manufacturing facility and DXC and on August 23, 2022 we announced our intention to temporarily suspend operations in Rock Hill, South Carolina as discussed in Item 1. “Business” in this Annual Report.

Our wall tiles, millworksurfaces (which we call panels), casework and timber solutions are manufactured in Calgary, while aluminum, glass and power components are manufactured in all three locations.Calgary and Savannah. In Calgary, we lease an aggregate of approximately 358,000400,000 square feet of manufacturing space across three facilities (excluding our principal offices), which leases expire in January 20232024 and January 2024.2026. In Phoenix, we lease approximately 130,000 square feet of manufacturing space across two facilities, which leases expire in March 20222027. We are currently utilizing the Phoenix space as a storage facility and March 2027.have sub-leased the remaining premises. In Savannah, we lease approximately 81,000 square feet of manufacturing space, which lease expires in February 2029. In October 2019, we entered into a 15-year lease, which DIRTT may extend for two additional 5 year periods at its option, for a combined tile and millworkpanel factory of approximately 130,000 square feet in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Should the need arise, we have the expansion rights to lease an additional 130,000 square feet of space. In March 2020, we entered into an 8 year lease, which DIRTT may extend an additional 5 years at its option, of approximately 18,000 square feet of space for a DXC in Dallas, Texas.

Our ICE development offices are located in Calgary, Alberta and Salt Lake City, Utah. In Calgary, we sublease approximately 8,700 square feet of office space pursuant to a lease that expires on July 31, 2021. In our Salt Lake City development office, which also houses a DXC, we lease approximately 6,600 square feet of office space pursuant to a lease that expires in December 2023. In New York City, New York, we lease approximately 4,100 square feet of space to operate a DXC; this lease expires in February 2024. In Chicago, Illinois, we own approximately 6,200 square feet of office space, which we use to operate a DXC.

Through distributed manufacturing, we can shift production of some components among our manufacturing sites, reduce transportation times and costs, and meet targeted lead times. We believe that our current and planned facilities are adequate for our current needs and that suitable additional or substitute space would be available if needed.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings.

We arepursuing multiple lawsuits against our former founders, Mogens Smed and Barrie Loberg, their new company Falkbuilt Ltd. (“Falkbuilt”), and other related individual and corporate defendants for violations of fiduciary duties and noncompetition and non-solicitation covenants contained in their executive employment agreements, and the misappropriation of our confidential and proprietary information in violation of numerous Canadian and U.S. state, and federal laws pertaining to the protection of our trade secrets and proprietary information and the prevention of false advertising and deceptive trade practices.

As of December 31, 2022, our litigation against Falkbuilt, Messrs. Smed and Loberg, and their associates was comprised of three main lawsuits: (i) an action in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench instituted on May 9, 2019 against Falkbuilt, Messrs. Smed and Loberg, and several other former DIRTT employees alleging breaches of restrictive covenants, fiduciary duties, and duties of loyalty, fidelity and confidentiality, and the misappropriation of our confidential information (the “Canadian Non-Compete Case”); (ii) an action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Utah instituted on December 11, 2019 against Falkbuilt, Smed, and other individual and corporate defendants alleging misappropriation of our confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information (the “Utah Misappropriation Case”); and (iii) an action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas instituted on June 24, 2021 alleging that Falkbuilt has unlawfully used our confidential information in the United States and intentionally caused confusion in the United States in an attempt to steal customers, opportunities, and business intelligence, with the aim of establishing a competing business in the United States market (the “Texas Unfair Competition Case”). We intend to pursue the cases vigorously.

In the Canadian Non-Compete Case, we have conducted extensive document production and questioning of the Notesdefendants that support our claims, as follows: (i) Smed and Loberg, and others, breached their duties owed to DIRTT, including their contractual and fiduciary duties; (ii) Smed, Loberg, and others began developing the Consolidated Financial Statements.new competing company immediately after Smed’s departure; (iii) before it was called Falkbuilt, the new competing company operated through a covert group comprised of then-current DIRTT employees and Construction Partners known as the TTIMit Group (which stands for “This Time I Mean It”); (iv) members of the TTIMit Group took steps to conceal their communications by creating and using alias names, using private and personal email addresses and phone numbers, and holding secret meetings and gatherings; (v) the TTMit Group also used then-current DIRTT employees to build out Falkbuilt's warehouse premises and offices, source and purchase equipment for Falkbuilt, assist with market research and develop Falkbuilt's products, build vignettes and drawings, address Falkbuilt's software and computer needs, and name Falkbuilt; and (vi) members of the TTIMit Group conspired together to solicit DIRTT employees and Construction Partners, design and sell competing products using DIRTT's confidential information, including DIRTT's pricing lists, DIRTT's product designs, DIRTT's personnel information, and revenue forecast information for DIRTT's Construction Partners. DIRTT is seeking, among other things, an order stopping the defendants from competing with DIRTT, judgment for damages and losses, and an accounting and disgorgement of the defendants' gains from their wrongful misconduct. In April 2022, DIRTT filed a summary judgment application seeking an expedited, pre-trial, final determination of our claims against the defendants. We expect this application to be heard in the first half of 2023.

Item 4.

Mine Safety Disclosures.

24


In the Utah Misappropriation Case, the Court dismissed certain of the defendants, Falkbuilt Ltd., Falkbuilt, Inc. and Mogens Smed without prejudice, finding that Utah was an inconvenient forum. We appealed that ruling and the appeal was heard in November 2022. The remaining portion of the Utah Misappropriation Case is stayed pending resolution of the appeal.

In the Texas Unfair Competition Case, the Court dismissed our complaint finding that Texas was an inconvenient forum. We disagree with the decision and have filed a notice of appeal with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeal is stayed pending resolution of the appeal in the Utah Misappropriation Case.

Falkbuilt also filed a lawsuit against us on November 5, 2019 in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, alleging that DIRTT has misappropriated and misused their alleged proprietary information in furtherance of DIRTT’s product development. Falkbuilt seeks monetary relief and an interim, interlocutory and permanent injunction of DIRTT’s alleged use of the alleged proprietary information. We believe that the suit is without merit and filed an application for summary judgment to dismiss Falkbuilt’s claim.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Key Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights

The Company announced and successfully implemented a price increase of approximately 6.5% in November 2021. In addition, price increases of 5% and 10% were announced and implemented during June and July 2022, respectively. As of the fourth quarter of 2022, our actual results to differ materiallyrevenue reflects the impact of virtually all of these price increases.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $42.4 million, a decrease of $0.5 million or 1% from $42.9 million for the same period in 2021, and a $4.3 million or 9% decrease from the results describedthird quarter of 2022. Our fourth quarter of 2021 benefited from the price increases announced in November of that year, which motivated various customers to accelerate order and deliveries to avoid the price increases. As such, and compared to prior year, the improvement in revenue from the pricing actions discussed above, was offset by a return to a more seasonal demand pattern and higher incidents of project push-out rates. Sequentially, this is more pronounced given the increased seasonal demand during the months within the third quarter of 2022.
Gross profit and gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $11.6 million or implied by27.3% of revenue, an increase of $3.2 million or 38% from $8.4 million or 19.6% of revenue for the forward-looking statements containedsame period of 2021, and an increase of $4.6 million or 65% from $7.0 million in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

We are an innovative manufacturing company featuring a proprietary software and virtual reality visualization platform, coupled with vertically integrated manufacturing that designs, configures and manufactures prefabricated interior solutions used primarily in non-residential spaces across a wide range of industries and businesses. We combine innovative product design with our industry-leading, proprietary ICE Software, and technology-driven, lean manufacturing practices and sustainable materials to provide end-to-end solutions for the traditionally inefficient and fragmented interior construction industry. We create customized interiors with the aesthetics of conventional construction but with greater schedule and cost certainty, shorter lead times, greater future flexibility, and better environmental sustainability than conventional construction.

Our ICE Software allows us to sell, design, visualize (including 3D virtual reality modeling of interiors), configure, price, communicate, engineer, specify, order and manage projects, thereby reducing challenges associated with traditional construction, including cost overruns, change orders, inconsistent quality, delays and material waste. While other software programs and virtual reality tools are used in the architectural and construction industries, we believe our ICE Software is the only interior construction technology that provides end-to-end integration, from design through engineering, manufacturing and installation. Our interior construction solutions include prefabricated, customized interior modular walls, ceilings, and floors; decorative and functional millwork; power infrastructure; network infrastructure; and pre-installed medical gas piping systems. We strive to incorporate environmentally sustainable materials and reusable components into our solutions while creating flexible, functional and well-designed environments for the people who will use them.

We offer our interior construction solutions throughout the United States and Canada,were driven by commercial discipline as well as the realization of most of our price increases discussed above. Beyond the more efficient recovery of material input costs through the pricing actions taken in select international markets, through2022, general inflation in services and labor costs have been offset by the favorable impact from the weakening Canadian dollar.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $5.9 million compared to $16.0 million for the same period of 2021. The lower net loss is primarily the result of the higher gross profit margin, explained above, of $3.2 million, a network$0.2 million decrease in foreign exchange loss and a $9.7 million reduction in operating expenses offset by a $1.0 million decrease in government subsidies, a $0.2 million increase in interest expense, $0.6 million of independent Distribution Partnerstax expense and $1.2 million of reorganization costs. During the fourth quarter we benefited from the weakening Canadian dollar on Canadian dollar denominated costs.
Adjusted EBITDA (see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $0.6 million or 1.4% of revenue, an improvement of $10.3 million from a $9.7 million loss or (22.7)% of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 and an internal sales team.improvement of $6.0 million from a $5.4 million loss or (11.6)% of revenue for the third quarter of 2022.

On November 30, 2022, the Company issued 8.7 million shares in a private placement to its two largest shareholders and all of its directors and executive officers for aggregate gross consideration of approximately $2.8 million (the "Private Placement"). Concurrent with the Private Placement, the Company's two largest shareholders collectively committed to purchase common shares having an aggregate subscription price of not less than $2.0 million in any rights offering conducted by the Company on or before November 30, 2023.
The Company generated approximately $3.8 million of cash in the fourth quarter compared to cash used of $21.3 million, $19.1 million and $12.5 million in the first, second and third quarters of 2022, respectively. Our Distribution Partners use ICE to work with end users to envisionimproved fourth quarter of 2022 cash flow was driven by proceeds from the Private Placement discussed above, improvement in Adjusted EBITDA and design their spaces, and orders are electronically routed through ICE to our manufacturing facilities for production, packing and shipping.

Summary of Financial ResultsKey Annual 2022 Highlights

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 20202022 were $171.5$172.2 million, a declinean increase of $76.2$24.6 million or 31%17% from $247.7$147.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. We believe this decrease principally reflects2021 driven primarily by the severe economicpricing actions discussed above and social impact ofan increase in demand, primarily from the COVID-19 pandemic, 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.

COVID impacted periods during 2021.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 20202022 was $53.3$28.2 million or 31.1%16.4% of revenue, a declinean increase of $33.1$4.7 million or 38%20% from $86.4$23.5 million or 34.9%15.9% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019. This reduction was largely attributable2021. Included in gross profit is inventory write-downs of $1.0 million (0.6% of total revenue), primarily related to our decline in revenuesthe discontinuance of the Reflect and other product lines and accelerated amortization and depreciation of $2.1 million on discontinued product lines and the impact of fixed costs on lower revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred $1.0 million of severance costs to reduce headcount in response to excess labor capacity caused by lower revenues. These costs were offset by reversalsclosure of the timber provision of $1.8 million in 2020. In 2019, we provided $2.5 million of timber provision because we determined that timber included in certain projects installed between 2016 and 2019 may not have met certain building class fire retardant specifications under which the projects were sold. The timber liability was reduced from the prior estimated liability following further analysis of building code requirements for the specific projects sold, the validation of an in-situ remediation solution, and related discussions with our affected customers. The year ended December 31, 2019 also included $2.5 million of costs incurred to mitigate future tile warping.

Excluded from2021. Adjusted Gross Profit in 2019 and 2020 are $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of costs of overhead associated with operating at lower than normal capacity levels, which were charged directly and separately to cost of sales rather than as costs attributable to production.

Operating expensesMargin (see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the year ended December 30, 2020 were $74.6 million,31, 2022 was 22.6%, a $14.3 million or 16%500 bps decline from $88.923.1% for the year ended December 31, 2021. 2022 results include certain inventory write-downs of $1.0 million (0.6% of revenue), primarily related to the discontinuance of the Reflect and other product lines. The improved Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin were driven by a combination of improved demand for our products and commercial discipline. Beyond the more efficient recovery of material input costs through the pricing actions taken in 2022, general inflation in services and labor costs have been offset by the favorable impact from the weakening Canadian dollar.

Management has taken steps to align our manufacturing footprint and salaried workforce with our current activity levels as well as cost reduction and profitability initiatives. In February 2022, we announced the closure of our Phoenix Facility and elimination of manufacturing and office positions. In July 2022, we announced a further reduction of salaried positions and in August 2022, we announced the temporary closure of our Rock Hill Facility as the Calgary manufacturing facility has sufficient capacity to absorb production and meet expected demand for the near term.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $55.0 million compared to $53.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.2021. The reductionhigher net loss is primarily the result of the above noted increase in gross profit offset by a $1.8 million increase in operating expenses reflects lower commissions on reduced sales activities, as well as cost reductions, both deliberate and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a $1.5 million decrease in stock based compensation and a $1.2 million reversal of a provision relating to a claim for severance by one of our former founders, offset by $2.3 million in higher professional fees and consulting costs. Additionally, in 2019 we incurred $2.0 million of costs related to our sales and marketing plan, $2.6 million related to the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq, $1.1 million of operations consulting costs and $4.6which included $13.5 million of reorganization costs (added back to Adjusted EBITDA), a $2.0 million increase in interest expense, a $3.7 million decrease of government subsidies and a $0.2 million increase in income tax expense. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $1.8 million in foreign exchange gain. The Company benefited from a weakening Canadian dollar on Canadian dollar denominated costs compared to the reversal of a $1.3 million claims provision.

prior year.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $11.3 million, an increase of $6.9 million from net loss of $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Compared to the prior year period, the increase in net loss is attributable to the above noted reduction in gross profit and a $1.1 million increase in income tax expense, partially offset by a $14.3 million reduction in operating costs, a $0.7 million decrease in foreign exchange losses, and government subsidies of $12.7 million.  

Adjusted EBITDA (see “– Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the year ended December 31, 20202022 was a $7.2$26.2 million loss or (4.2)(15.2)%, of revenue, an improvement of $15.1 million from a decline$41.3 million loss or (28.0)% of $25.4 million or 140% from $18.2 million or 7.4%revenue for the year ended December 31, 20192021 for the above noted reasons.

The Company continues to evaluate certain non-dilutive, strategic initiatives expected to generate additional cash flows in the first half of 2023.

Outlook

Annual revenue of $172.2 million fell just below the low end of the guidance range of $175 million to $185 million set during the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by jobsite and project delays.

During 2022, our key focus was on stabilizing the Company’s balance sheet, slowing the pace of cash usage and implementing a number of initiatives designed to optimize both the cost and pricing structure. As early as the third quarter of 2022, we began seeing the improved financial effects of these changes. During the fourth quarter, this was even more magnified as Adjusted Gross Profit

returned to greater than 30% for the first time since 2020. Improvements in operational and supply chain led to reductions in labor and inventory carrying costs during the fourth quarter. Further, we reduced costs needed to operate our back office and general and administrative overhead to levels commensurate with our current and expected revenue levels.

We changedtake great pride in our calculationproducts’ ability to adjust and conform to a changing workplace. Our ability to adapt and respond to an unknown future is at the core of Adjusted EBITDA beginningour value proposition. During 2022, we made adjustments, and in some cases, discontinued certain product lines that did not align with this value; our Reflect wall line principally among them.

As we shift to 2023, we expect to leverage each of the changes made during 2022, as well as being much more focused on disciplined spending and continuing to ensure our investments align with our available cash and growth expectations.

As of January 1, 2023, our 12-month forward pipeline, which represents known projects and leads at various stages of maturation which our sales teams are working to convert into orders, was $391 million, in line with October 1, 2022, and 26% higher than the $311 million balance as of January 1, 2022. The increase over prior year is driven by a combination of higher pricing and the volume impact of the higher secured projects where the required shipment dates have pushed out due to stretched construction schedules, experienced in the fourth quarter of 2019 to exclude2022. The pipeline comprises 62% commercial, 20% healthcare, 7% education and 11% government verticals. The relative split between verticals remains consistent with pre-pandemic actual percentage results.

The January 2023 pipeline is not only higher than January 2022, but we also believe it is healthier. The percentage of projects we believe are at the impactsstage of foreign exchange to improve year-on-year comparability of Adjusted EBITDA.

Outlook

On November 12, 2019, DIRTT unveiled a four-year strategic planthe project lifecycle where the project has been costed and budgeted for the Company, based on threenext twelve months has increased. Thus, while the macro-economic conditions impacting DIRTT continue to be volatile, we believe we have a better project outlook today, than one year ago. While we are encouraged by the pipeline growth, our order pace and quarterly revenue and supply chain forecasting continues to be challenged by the high push out rates and longer than normal engineering and design time associated with large and complex projects.

Our Construction Partners have been and remain a 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.

Since its declaration as a global pandemic in March 2020, COVID-19 has had severe and ongoing impacts on commercial construction activity in North America, driven largely by regulatory responses implemented by governments and public health officials, lock-down measures and work-from-home requirements for non-essential workers. While commercial construction projects that were underway at the commencement of the pandemic generally continued to completion, albeit with some experiencing COVID-19 driven delays, North America experienced a significant contraction in the development of new projects as the pandemic took hold. As a result, DIRTT’s 2020 revenue declined 31% compared to 2019, driven largely by a 35% and 37% declineelement in our commercialgo-to-market strategy. Enhancing both partner effectiveness and education vertical sales, respectively, partially offset by more moderate declinesaccountability will again be a priority in our healthcare vertical. Quarterly revenues remained relatively consistent throughout 2020 as small projects and projects in process at the start of the pandemic were completed during the year.  

In early 2021, we experienced further softening2023. Our Construction Partners are a direct conduit to many of our commercial vertical sales. We expect this softness to continue through the first half of 2021 which reflects the aforementioned contraction in new project development, the continuation of a pronounced second wave of infections in North America with new lockdown measures and the inherent reluctance of end customers and we recommenced a Partner Advisory Council to commit to construction projects while such lockdownselevate partner feedback within our organization and work from home restrictions are ongoing. We are cautiously optimistic, however, that a recovery will begin in the second half of 2021 based on third-party industry indices combined with the general sentiment of our clients and partners and the commencement of major vaccination programs across North America.

While in general we have not seen a strong correlation between third-party indices and DIRTT performance given our low market penetration, and, thus, tend not to rely on these indices to manage our business, the scope and scale of the impact of the pandemic make such indicators more relevant for 2021. The Architecture Billing Index (ABI), which measures increases or decreases in architectural and design billings and is considered a leading indicator for non-residential construction activity nine to twelve months in the future, during 2020, reported an approximate 50% drop from the February to March and April periods with a significant recovery in September and October, albeit below expansion level. This improvement indicates the potential for a recovery in the second half of 2021. Similarly, Dodge Data & Analytics expects commercial construction to increase by approximately 5% in 2021.

Return to office planning is ongoing across North America as industry leaders recognize the need for in-person employee interaction to drive collaboration and innovation and address the inherent challenges and limitations of the current work-from-home environment. A critical consideration of this process is the office environment that employees are willing to return to and resulting


changes required thereto. Through our improved sales force, targeted marketing plans and strategic accounts, we are seeing increases in overall activityprovide further insight to support this planning activity. The timing of when this activity translates to sales is dependent upon when business leaders are willing to commit capital. Through the improvements we have made to our manufacturing operations, combined with the anticipated capacity and capabilities our new South Carolina facility, we expect to be poised and ready to deliver when these end customers commit to move forward.

Ultimately, we believe the long-term impact of COVID-19 will be a higher demand for flexible spaces that can be easily adapted post-installation. We expect that this will be a positive catalyst for the conversion from conventional site-built construction to the prefabricated, offsite solution provided by DIRTT. As a result, our objective throughout the pandemic has been to continue the prudent implementation of our strategic plan, while balancing the safeguards of our balance sheet and liquidity with our desire to enhance and improve our commercial and operational capabilitiesdecision making.

We continue to take advantageevaluate under-performing Construction Partners and are working to provide additional support and training to them. We have also placed an emphasis on those Construction Partners that have demonstrated a commitment to growth, commercial discipline, and collaborative success. We believe this approach will serve to strengthen our pipeline and provide a strong platform in which to drive better organic growth.

We are closely monitoring our cost structure, including the underlying materials that comprise our products. Although we believe we are insulated from the near-term effects of expected increases in demand when the recovery of non-residential construction occurs.

In early 2021 we took steps to further bolster our liquiditya recession in the faceUnited States or Canada, we are susceptible to the inflationary impact of continued uncertaintylabor and near-termcommodity pricing, particularly aluminum and wood.

In response to the risk associated with these items, we have taken additional actions over the past two months that will reduce annualized overhead costs by approximately $3 million to $5 million. These cost reductions are related to efficiencies and streamlining our back office and operational support functions, not pursuant to a planned restructuring program. We are also evaluating certain purchase arrangements that will hedge against inflation and volatility associated with our primary materials.

We believe that the combination of the growth in our sales softness. In January 2021, we completed a C$40.3 million (approximately $31.6 million) issuance of convertible debentures with a five-year termpipeline, the improved margins from pricing actions already taken and convertiblereduced cost structure set us up well to deliver year over year growth in revenue, gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA during 2023.

The Company’s current and immediate focus continues to be growing revenues, increasing profitability, and managing liquidity. Moving into common shares at a price of C$4.65 per share. In early February, we completed2023, the conversionfollowing items remain the focus of our undrawn existing cash-flow-based credit facilitymanagement team:

Re-focused training and development of our Construction Partner and employee base surrounding our go-to-market strategy.
Continued offering of customer friendly incentives designed to an asset-backed facility, eliminatingimprove volume and price certainty (e.g., price lock guarantee, quick pay discounts, rebate programs, etc.).
Establishing customer loyalty programs that will provide concierge level service to Construction Partners and end customers based on various volume, project, and forecast accuracy metrics.
Executing upon several supply chain optimization projects designed to improve Sales and Operational Planning and reduce slow moving and/or obsolete inventory items.
Tightly managing discretionary spend and overtime during periods of order volatility.

As many of our end customers continue implementing ‘return to work’ strategies, we have seen many cases where there is a strong need to modify their workspace to accommodate a more flexible environment in the need forshort-term, which in turn could change again over the medium- to long-term as post-pandemic requirements continue to evolve. Additionally, many organizations in different sectors are trying to enhance their physical presence in local communities by adopting a covenant holiday and ensuring future borrowing availability based upon accounts receivable and inventory balances.single design model that works in multiple jurisdictions. We believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on both trends.

In 2023, we expect to draw approximately $11 million on our existing equipment leasing facilitiesdeliver low to mid-single digit growth in the first half of 2021, financing the equipment purchases for our new South Carolina facility, largely paid for in instalments in 2019revenue and 2020.see higher gross margins, net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA compared to 2022. We also intend to apply for further government subsidy programs, including the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy program (CEWS) to the extent that it is applicable. In 2020, we qualified for $12.7 million of government subsidies of which $11.0 million was received with the balance expected to be received in 2021. This financial foundation provides the basis for usexpect to continue to executestabilize the balance sheet and grow unrestricted cash through a combination of improved financial performance and contribution from our strategic plan while the recoverynon-dilutive cash initiatives previously discussed.

We may opportunistically take actions to improve our debt and equity structure, though we anticipate that that Company's cash flows from the COVID-19 pandemic takes hold, enables us to avoid costly retrenchments of the transformational investments we have made,operations and increases our flexibility should the recovery take longer than expected.

Our commercial transformation is the key pillar of our growth strategy, against which we made significant progress in 2020.   This includes the hiring of personnel for key roles in the commercial organization and the establishment of both strategic marketing and strategic account and enterprise sales functions. We completed our Customer Relationship Management infrastructure buildout and are now in the process of rolling it out to all our sales representatives with full deployment expected in the first half of 2021. Our total cost of ownership tool, which provides an objective comparison with conventional construction, has been fully developed and deployed and further refinements and expansion of the tool’s capabilitiescurrent financing source will be a focus in 2021. During 2020 we added eight new Distribution Partners and expanded the territory of five others, mitigating the effects of partners who we chose to terminate due to performance or competitive issues. In 2021, we expect to build upon the work completed in 2020. This will include priority hires to drive enhanced market coverage, the buildout of our DXC in Dallas, with completion expected in the third quarter, the continuation of our strategic marketing campaigns focused on return to work and the nurturing of new and existing strategic account relationships.

Manufacturing excellence is the second pillar of our growth strategy. Our core commitment to organizational safety resulted in a TRIF of 0.48 in 2020, more than 75% below the industry average and included the Company’s first ever recordable incident-free quarter. Our enhanced safety protocols and robust contact tracing have been effective thus far in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 infections within our facilities and have helped us to avoid any material production disruptions. During 2020, we realized production efficiencies and yield improvements at both our aluminum manufacturing plants, and at our Calgary tile facility through changes in process flow. We also completed strategic sourcing agreements for major suppliers and enhanced quality and delivery processes. Having achieved continuous improvement by year end, in 2021, we will focus on the maturation and further integration of our processes to drive ongoing advancements in all areas of quality, delivery, inventory and productivity. We also remain on schedulesufficient for the commencement of commercial operations at our South Carolina tile facility in the second quarter of 2021.

The third pillar of our growth strategy is innovation. During 2020, in response to thecash needs of the pandemic, we developed four interior and exterior free-standing kiosks for COVID-19 testing and vaccinations, which we are currently marketing to healthcare organizations, retailers and large employers.  Regardless of whether these kiosks drive incremental sales, we believe they increase the prominence of our brand and demonstrate our overall capabilities to a new set of potential customers. From a software perspective, we released ICE 21, our most significant ICE release to date, allowing more people to experience ICEreality with added Android and Windows desktop platform capability and expanded functionality across a broader range of virtual reality head-mounted display hardware. In 2021, we expect innovation within our interior solutions and software to continue, including expanded functionality of our Inspire low profile modular and Reflect ultra-sleek glass wall solutions and ongoing improvements to the integration and core functionality of ICE.Company in 2023.

Throughout the last two years, we have made improvements in cost control and investment discipline which has served us well, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we have benefited from reduced expenditures on travel and entertainment due to travel restrictions and deliberate reductions of certain discretionary expenditures until such time as the recovery occurs. Our capital expenditure program in 2021 is expected to total approximately $14 million, of which approximately $3.5 million relates to our


investment in the Dallas DXC, $3.0 million relates to the equipment and commissioning of our South Carolina tile and millwork facility, $3.0 million relates to the investments in our technology platform, with the remaining associated with  required maintenance capital and certain corporate initiatives.

In November 2019, our strategic plan articulated financial targets of $450 million to $550 million in revenue and 18% to 22% adjusted EBITDA margins to be achieved by the end of 2023. While the non-residential construction market is much less favorable than in late 2019 and our 2020 revenues were more than 30% below our 2019 revenues, the operating environment and transformation of the Company are sufficiently dynamic, which lead us to believe these goals are still achievable.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP.accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 Annual 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 debt and 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-on-periodperiod-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 all years presented. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2019, we 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 addition, management bases certain forward-looking estimates and budgets on non-GAAP financial measures, primarily Adjusted EBITDA.

Reorganization expenses, impairment expenses, governmentGovernment subsidies, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation andexpense, reorganization expenses, foreign exchange gains orand losses and impairment expenses 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 Annual 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.

In response to significant increases in the costs of raw materials, shipping materials, labor, and freight, effective November 16, 2021, DIRTT increased product and transportation prices on new projects by approximately 6.5%. On February 17, 2022, we implemented a further price increase of 5% that came into effect June 1, 2022. On June 21, 2022 an additional price increase of 10% was announced effective July 21, 2022. As of the fourth quarter of 2022, product sales reflect virtually all of these price increases. The first quarter of 2022 marked the transition of the COVID-19 pandemic to an endemic with the broad easing of health restrictions, including work-from-home mandates, across North America. While the resurgence in COVID-19 infections due to the Omicron variant at the beginning of the year temporarily sent many employees back to their home offices and delayed return dates, the Company and our Construction Partners experienced an uptick in planning activity and opportunity growth in our commercial vertical which began to translate into an increase in orders beginning in March 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, revenue was $172.2 million, an increase of $24.6 million or 17% from the year ended December 31, 2021. The improvement in revenue was driven by the pricing actions and increased product demand discussed

above, offset by secured projects where the required shipment dates have pushed out due to stretched construction schedules increased. Further, 2021 revenue benefited from the price increases announced in November 2021, which motivated various customers to accelerate order and deliveries into 2021 to avoid the price increases. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we returned to a normalized seasonal demand pattern.

Installation and other services revenue was $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $4.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. This revenue primarily reflects services performed by our ICE and design teams for third parties. Except in limited circumstances, our Construction 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 Construction Partner network to expand our market penetration and ensure best practices are shared across local markets. At December 31, 2022, we had 67 (December 31, 2021: 69) Construction Partners servicing multiple locations. In February 2022, we announced the establishment of a Partner Advisory Council to provide a greater link with Construction Partners and end clients who they service. The Partner Advisory Council will offer advice on sales and marketing, product issues and new market needs, market conditions, competitive landscape, and other related areas of mutual interest.

We periodically analyze our revenue growth by vertical markets in the defined markets of commercial, healthcare, government and education. The following table presents our product and transportation revenue by vertical market.

Commercial revenues increased by 36% in the year ended December 31, 2022 from the prior year, reflecting improving market conditions as health restrictions and work-from-home requirements ease and include one large customer in the technology sector with revenue of $8.8 million. Healthcare decreased by 34% in the year ended December 31, 2022 from the prior year. Such sales tend to be larger individual projects and are subject to timing due to a reconciliationtypically longer sales cycle, resulting in variability in sales levels. In 2021, we had one large healthcare customer with revenue of $9.6 million which did not recur in 2022.

Education sales in 2022 increased by 21% over the prior year. At the beginning of the pandemic, education spending effectively paused with many institutions suspending in-person classes. There were no individually significant education projects and the increases represent higher volumes of projects due to the easing of health restrictions and many students returning to in-person learning. Government revenues in 2022 increased by 3% over 2021.

Revenue continues to be derived almost exclusively from projects in North America and predominantly from the United States. The following table presents our revenue dispersion by geography:

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 11% and 12%, respectively, of total sales while sales to the United States increased to 89% and 88%, respectively, of total sales. COVID-19 infection rates and resulting regulatory responses by governments and public health officials have varied significantly by region, impacting the relative contribution of sales from each country. The geographical split for 2022 returned to historical averages and reflects the easing of health restrictions in Canada which occurred later than in the United States.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $4.1 million to $27.0 million for the year-to-date results of 2020, 2019 and 2018 of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to our net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP measureyear ended December 31, 2022 from $31.0 million for the periods presented:year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was largely related to a decrease of $3.8 million in salaries and benefits costs and $0.7 million decrease in depreciation expense. The decreases were offset by $0.6 million increase in travel, meals and entertainment expenses as business activity has increased with the easing of restrictions during 2022.

General and Administrative Expenses

(1)

As discussed previously, in prior filings, only foreign exchange movements on debt revaluation was included in Adjusted EBITDA.

(2)

Net income divided by revenue.

As discussed above, we have removedGeneral and administrative (“G&A”) expenses decreased $5.1 million to $25.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $30.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was related to a $3.3 million decrease in salaries and benefits costs associated with the planned headcount reductions as part of our cost savings initiatives, a $2.0 million decrease in professional services costs and a $0.7 million decrease in depreciation expense, offset by a $0.9 million increase in costs incurred associated with the contested election of directors to $1.8 million in 2022 from $0.9 million in 2021. The decreases were partially offset by increased office costs as employees returned to work during 2022.

Operations Support Expenses

Operations support is comprised primarily of project managers, order entry and other professionals that facilitate the integration of our Construction Partner project execution and our manufacturing operations. Operations support expenses of $9.5 million in 2022 increased marginally from $9.4 million in 2021. The increase was due to lower capitalized hours in 2022 compared to 2021 as there were limited internal design projects compared to the prior year. The increases were offset by lower travel, meals and entertainment costs compared to 2021.

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 decreased by $0.7 million to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily related to decreased salaries and benefits costs and professional fees in the current year offset by a decrease in capitalized software development costs.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $4.3 million compared to $4.7 million in 2021. The movement in this expense was largely the impact of all foreign exchange gains or losses from Adjusted EBITDAgrants of RSUs to the Company's employees, including those in lieu of cash compensation to the Company’s former interim Chief Executive Officer in January 2022 and have presentedDSUs granted to the Board of Directors, lowered by the impact of fair value adjustments on cash settled awards as a reconciliationresult of our share price decreasing during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Board of Directors receives 100% of their remuneration in DSUs.

Goodwill Impairment

We test goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the calendar year. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our prior calculationfinancial results in 2021, we determined it was necessary to use the quantitative approach to perform our goodwill impairment test. Based on our testing, the fair value of Adjusted EBITDAgoodwill did not exceed the carrying value of its net assets and, accordingly,

the entire $1.4 million balance of goodwill was impaired as at December 31, 2021. There was no impairment charge for the periods presented above.year ended December 31, 2022.

Reorganization

For the year ended December 31, 2020, Adjusted EBITDA2022, we incurred $13.5 million of reorganization costs. Reorganization costs for the year include insurance costs incurred on change of control of the Board of Directors following the contested director elections, costs associated with the closure of the Phoenix Facility, costs associated with the temporary suspension of operations at the Rock Hill Facility and Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreasedtermination benefits associated with these changes, cost reduction initiatives explained below and management changes that occurred during the year.

We have undertaken several initiatives to align our manufacturing footprint with our current activity levels. This included the closure of the Phoenix Facility completed in the second quarter of 2022, with related manufacturing to be undertaken by both our Savannah and Calgary Facilities. Of the initial estimate of cost savings of approximately $2.4 million from this closure, we expect to realize annualized savings of approximately $1.0 million, as $1.4 million of work force reductions were offset by additions in Calgary and Savannah due to increased demand. On August 23, 2022, we announced the temporary closure of our Rock Hill Facility, as the Calgary Facility has sufficient capacity to absorb production and meet expected demand for the near term.

Additionally, in February 2022, we announced a $7.2reduction of our salaried workforce including manufacturing and office positions which, along with other cost reduction initiatives, were expected to yield annualized savings of approximately $13.0 million. The reductions were followed by a further reduction of salaried positions, as announced in July 2022, and the temporary closure of our Rock Hill Facility, announced in August 2022, which are expected to result in approximately $5.0 million loss or (4.2)% from $18.2in annualized savings. Of these cost reduction initiatives, $15.0 million or 7.4%was implemented during 2022. $3.0 million comprising of certain manufacturing positions and other cost reductions, has been deferred as we work to increase manufacturing headcount in light of increased demand.

Government Subsidies

Government subsidies for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $7.8 million compared to $11.5 million for the same period of 2019. This decrease reflects2021. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company determined it was eligible for the Employee Retention Credit ("ERC") in the United States. The ERC is a $34.5refundable payroll tax credit based on qualified wages paid by an eligible employer between March 12, 2020, and October 1, 2021 for companies experiencing a significant decline in gross receipts during a calendar quarter or having operations fully or partially suspended during the quarter due to COVID-19. The Company is eligible for ERC for the first three quarters of 2021 and has filed a claim for $7.3 million in payroll tax credits ($7.1 million net of expenses). As of December 31, 2022 these credits have not been received and are included in other receivables in the balance sheet.

2021 government subsidies related to the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") and the Canadian Emergency Rent Subsidy ("CERS"). At December 31, 2021, all amounts recorded at December 31, 2021 were collected. The last claim period under the CEWS and CERS programs ended on October 23, 2021. The Company is not eligible for and did not receive any new Canadian government subsidies in year ended December 31, 2022.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $2.0 million from $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increased interest expense is a result of the issuance of C$35.0 million ($27.4 million) of Debentures in December 2021 and draws on the Leasing Facilities.

Income Tax

The provision for income taxes comprises U.S. and Canadian federal, state and provincial taxes based on pre-tax income. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $0.02 million, compared to a $0.2 million recovery for the same period of 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded valuation allowances of $13.6 million (2021 - $12.0 million) against deferred tax assets due to operating losseswhich impacted our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in Canada and the United States to fully deduct historical losses. As at December 31, 2022, we had C$106.7 million of loss carry-forwards in Canada and $55.7 million in the United States. These loss carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2032.

Net Loss

Net loss increased to $55.0 million or $0.63 net loss per share in the year ended December 31, 2022 from a net loss of $53.7 million or $0.63 net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increased loss is primarily the result of a $1.8 million increase in operating expenses (which includes $13.5 million of reorganization expenses), a $2.0 million increase in interest expense, a $3.7 million decrease in Adjusted Gross Profit, partiallygovernment subsidies, and a $0.2 million increase in income tax expense. These decreases were offset by an $8.2a $4.7 million aggregate decreaseincreased gross profit and $1.8 million increase in sales and marketing, general and administrative, operations support and technology and development expenses as discussed in more detail below.  foreign exchange gains.

Labor costs increased $1.5 million for the year-to-date period as we incurred incremental costs during the second quarter associated with moving production to the Calgary and Savannah Facilities following the closure of the Phoenix Facility, rate increases, and adding capacity following an improvement in demand. Fixed costs increased $0.8 million due to reducedcost inflation and the impact of adding the Rock Hill Facility in 2021 to the fixed cost leverage causedbase. In 2022 we incurred a $0.8 million charge, or 0.5% related to Reflect and other discontinued product lines. 2021 Adjusted Gross Profit benefited from the removal of $1.8 million, or 1.2% Adjusted Gross Profit impact, on under-utilized capacity not captured in product costs. 2022 gross profit was impacted by reductions in revenues and excess labor capacity prior to headcount reductions discussed below combined with $1.0$2.1 million of related severance costs incurred duringincremental depreciation and amortization on the acceleration of useful lives associated with discontinued product lines and the Phoenix Facility. Gross profit for the year ended 2022 benefited by approximately $1.5 million from the impact of the weakening Canadian dollar on U.S. dollar reported results, which is included in the above variances.

During the first six months of 2020.

During the fourth quarter of 2019,2020, 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 2020,2021, we experienced the full impact

of the slowdown in non-residential construction activity on our business. 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, 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 $2.0$1.8 million as costs related to our under-utilized capacity (1.2% of 2021 first quarter gross profit margin) in cost of sales. We took steps to manage ourFor the remaining quarters of 2021 and 2022, we did not have abnormal excess capacity includingas our workforce was better aligned with current production volumes.

In August 2022 we announced the reductiontemporary suspension of operations at the Rock Hill Facility. Idle facility costs incurred since suspension of operations of $0.5 million are included in staffingcost of sales.

Followingmost directly comparable GAAP measure for the completion of third-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 been 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 and reduced the associated provision to $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. We further reduced our timber provisionperiods presented:

Net loss divided 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.

In 2019, we incurred approximately $2.5 million of costs, representing 1.1% 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 2020.

Revenue decreased in the year ended December 31, 2020 by $76.2 million or 31% compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Revenue decreased due to several factors, as discussed above in “– Summary of Financial Results” and “– Outlook”. We believe the decrease principally reflects the severe economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a major contraction in construction activity levels in 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 to the impact of the pandemic on future projects that are either in the planning or conceptual stage. It is highly likely that future projects will also experience similar delays as the 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 2020 revenues in light of the severe economic adversity caused by the pandemic.

Installation and other services revenue decreased $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The changes in installation revenue are primarily due to the timing of projects and overall sales activity, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 72 Distribution Partners, servicing multiple


locations. During 2020, we made several changes and upgrades to our Distribution Partner network, expanding our relationships with 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 31% in the year ended December 31, 2020 over the same period in 2019 and was driven primarily by decreased commercial sales. Commercial revenues decreased by 35% from the prior year, due largely to the severe impact of COVID-19 on commercial construction activities in North America in 2020 and the completion of a major project in 2019 that was not replaced. Similarly, education sales decreased by 37% from 2019 as most universities and private schools moved to on-line classes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. During 2020, healthcare revenues were impacted to a lesser degree, decreasing by 20% from 2019 and reflecting approximately $5 million of revenues that were directly related to COVID-19. Included in this amount was the delivery of specifically designed acute care rooms for use in prefabricated temporary hospital spaces to an end customer in the Southeastern United States.

Revenue continues to be derived almost exclusively from projects in North America and predominantly from the United States, with periodic international projects from North American Distribution Partners. The following table presents our revenue dispersion by geography.

Historically, approximately 15-25% and 75-85% of revenues are derived from sales to Canada and the United States, respectively. In 2020, revenues from Canada fell to 11% of total sales while sales to the United States increased to 89%. COVID-19 infection rates and resulting regulatory responses by governments and public health officials vary significantly by region, impacting the relative contribution of sales from each country.  


Sales & Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $5.9 million to $28.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from $33.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decreases were largely related to a reduction in commission expenses on lower revenues and lower travel, meals and entertainment expenses during the year ended December 31, 2020 due to restrictions on travel as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the cancellation of Connext and other tradeshows as well as continued attention to cost discipline. As economies re-open, we anticipate travel, meals and entertainment expenses to increase over current levels, the timing and amount of which, however, are indeterminate. These reductions were partially offset by $1.1 million of increased salary and wage expenses as we continue to build our sales organization. Included in sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $2.0 million of one-time consulting costs related to the sales and marketing plan developed with the assistance of an internationally recognized consulting firm that did not recur in 2020.

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 (“G&A”) expenses decreased $0.9 million to $26.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $27.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the decrease was the result of $1.9 million of expense reductions due to COVID-19 and a $1.2 million reversal of a provision relating to a claim for severance by one of our former founders, offset by $3.2 million of increased professional fees and a $0.6 million provision recorded for expected credit losses against our accounts receivable balances. During 2019, we incurred $2.6 million of expenses related to the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq which did not occur in 2020, offset by the reversal of the $1.3 million claims provision.

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 expenses decreased $1.6 million to $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was the result of lower consulting costs and a decrease in travel, meals and entertainment costs in 2020 due COVID-19 restrictions. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in personnel costs due to increased headcount to better support project execution and support of our Distribution Partners. In 2019, we incurred $1.1 million of consulting costs to assist with the rectification of the tile warping issue.

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 increased by $0.3 million to $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, due to increased professional fees related to patents for our technology.

Stock-Based Compensation

During 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 approved the availability of a cash surrender feature for certain options, including options issued under our Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan (“Stock Option Plan”), until such time as we requalified as a FPI or we registered our common shares with the SEC, which occurred on October 9, 2019 upon the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq. Accordingly, we accounted for the fair value of outstanding stock options at the end of the reporting period 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 Stock Option Plan without quarterly fair value adjustments at that date.

Stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $2.4 million compared to $3.9 million for the same period of 2019. Prior to the return to equity settled accounting, we had a liability of $1.8 million.


Reorganization Expenses

We recorded $nil reorganization expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. These costs included severance payments, and related legal and consulting costs associated with management and organizational changes.

Government Subsidies

The Company recorded $12.7 million of government subsidies during the year ended December 31, 2020, of which $11.0 million were received during the year.

As part of the Canadian federal government’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, the Canadian government established the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”). The CEWS provides the Company with a taxable subsidy in respect of a specific portion of wages paid to Canadian employees during the periods extending from March 15, 2020 to March 13, 2021 (with a potential extension to June 30, 2021), based on the percentage decline of the Company in certain of its Canadian-sourced revenues during each qualifying period. The Company'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”). CERS provides a taxable subsidy to cover eligible expenses for qualifying properties, subject to certain maximums, starting on September 27, 2020 to March 13, 2021 (with a potential extension to June 30, 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 for each qualifying period.

Income Tax

The provision for income taxes is comprised of federal, state, provincial and foreign taxes based on pre-tax income. During 2020, DIRTT recorded a full valuation allowance of $5.2 million against Canadian 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.

In the United States, the CARES Act of 2020 allows, among other provisions, for the recovery of taxes paid over the preceding five years from current year losses. The 2020 current income tax recovery reflects a $3.6 million recovery of income taxes previously paid in the United States.

Alberta’s provincial corporate tax rate decreased on June 28, 2019 from 11.5% to 11% for the second half of 2019, and was scheduled to further reduce to 10% for 2020, to 9% for 2021 and to 8% thereafter. As part of Alberta’s Recovery Plan, the decrease in provincial tax rates was accelerated such that the provincial corporate tax rate is 8% effective July 1, 2020. As a result of this rate change, we reduced our deferred tax asset by $0.9 million, with a corresponding deferred income tax expense recorded in the second quarter of 2019. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2019, inclusive of the charge associated with the Alberta tax rate change, was $1.1 million.

As at December 31, 2020, we had C$45.3 million of loss carry-forwards in Canada and none in the United States. These loss carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2032.

Net Loss

Net loss was $11.3 million or $0.13 net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to net loss of $4.4 million or $0.05 net loss per share in 2019. The variance is primarily the result of a $33.1 million decrease in gross margin and a $1.1 million increase in income tax expense, partially offset by a $14.3 million reduction in operating costs, decreased foreign exchange losses of $0.7 million and government subsidies in 2020 of $12.7 million (2019 - $nil).

Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2018

Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20192021 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 20182020 is included under the heading Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019,2021, as filed with the SEC and applicable securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada on February 26, 2020.23, 2022.

Seasonality

The construction industry has historically seen seasonal slowdowns related to winter weather conditions and holiday schedules in the fourth and first quarters of each calendar year. Our business has generally, but not always, followed this trend with a slight time


lag, leading to stronger sales in the second half of the year versus the first half. Weather factors can also influence third-party exterior construction schedules and site conditions, which may in turn affect timing of interior renovations.

Due to the fixed nature of some of our manufacturing costs, such as our facilities leases and related indirect operating costs, periods of higher revenue volume tend to generate higher gross profit and operating income margins while periods of lower volume tend to generate lower gross profit and operating income margins. Quarters that contain consistent monthly manufacturing volumes tend to generate higher gross profit than those where manufacturing levels vary significantly from month to month. Product and service revenue mix also tends to impact gross profit, as simplistic product and service revenue mix can result in lower gross profit, while “full solution” or comprehensive product and service revenue mixes tend to have higher gross profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 20202022 totaled $45.8$10.8 million, aan decrease of $1.4$49.5 million from $47.2December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash over the year primarily reflects the impact of $44.3 million of cash used in operations, of which $1.8 million related to one-time costs associated with the contested director elections and $13.5 million of reorganization costs. In addition, capital expenditures totaled $4.3 million and scheduled leasing repayments totaled $2.5 million.

The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s sales and operations has been severe, including a contraction of demand since the beginning of the pandemic and more recently, significant inflation on raw material costs. This has resulted in a significant usage of cash which we have financed through existing cash on hand and external financings, as described further below. In response, we have implemented multiple initiatives during 2022 to reduce our overall fixed cost base and pricing actions to better recover the inflationary impacts to material, labor and transportation input costs, each of which has been discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report. During the second half of 2022, we began to realize the benefits of these actions. During the fourth quarter of 2022, cash and cash equivalents increased $4.0 million to $10.8 million from $6.8 million at December 31, 2019.  September 30, 2022. The improved cash flow was driven by a combination of improved EBITDA from the pricing initiatives, cash flow provided from the working capital initiatives, and approximately $2.0 million of net proceeds received on the Private Placement during the quarter.

During 2020,We expect the benefit of the actions discussed above to continue to be realized in 2023 and beyond. While these actions, combined with and our project pipeline are promising, we continue to see unpredictability in our pace of orders.

Accordingly, we are taking several actions to improve our balance sheet in the short term. First, we have determined our eligibility for the ERC for the first three quarters of 2021 and have filed a claim for $7.3 million in payroll tax credits ($7.1 million net of expenses). Second, we have certain properties that are currently owned that we are evaluating for sale and leasing back. We do not intend to vacate these premises as they still serve a valuable aspect of our value proposition, but we expect to receive a one-time cash payment, in exchange for future rent payments. Third, we are evaluating initiatives related to the use of ICE software by third parties to supplement the relatively small revenues we have previously recognized from our licensing of ICE software to certain strategic partners for use in their businesses and our related licensing and developer software support for these counterparties.

To finance the Company's short-term cash requirements, the Company entered into a C$5.0irrevocable subscription agreements with its two largest shareholders, 22NW and 726 and all the directors and officers of the Company on November 14, 2022 to issue 8.7 million equipment leasing facilityshares for gross consideration of $2.8 million. The Private Placement closed on November 30, 2022. In addition, in Canada on which C$3.6 million ($2.6 million)connection with the Private Placement, 22NW and 726, or their principals, have irrevocably committed to backstopping any rights offering occurring by the Company within twelve months of cash consideration was drawn duringclosing the year, and a $16.0 million equipment leasing facilityPrivate Placement in the United States on which $3.5 million was drawn duringaggregate amount of $2.0 million.

We have assessed the year (the “Leasing Facilities”) with RBC. In February 2021, the equipment leasing facility in the United States was reduced to $14.0 million in conjunction with the negotiation of a new credit facility. The Leasing Facilities are available for equipment expenditures and certain equipment expenditures already incurred. We anticipate further drawings in 2021Company’s liquidity as available on equipment in the South Carolina Facility as commissioning activities are completed.

At December 31, 2020, we had a C$50.0 million revolving operating facility (the “Previous RBC Facility”) with the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”) under which $10.6 million was available.

In January 2021, we issued C$40.3 million of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) for net proceeds after costs of C$37.7 million. The Debentures will accrue interest at a rate of 6.00% 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 C$25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with RBC (the “New RBC Facility”), replacing the Previous RBC Facility. Under the New RBC Facility, the Company is able to borrow up to a maximum of 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 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims (the “Borrowing Base”). As at December 31, 2020,2022 using multiple downside and upside scenarios, our sales outlook for the next twelve months in combination with existing cash balances, available borrowings undercredit facilities, the New RBC Facility would have been C$9.3 million ($7.3 million).

In light ofstrategic transactions being evaluated and the uncertainty caused by the nearPrivate Placement discussed previously, and potential mid-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have evaluated multiple downside scenarios and have implemented cost control and expenditure management processes.equity or debt financing. Based on these analyses and the implementation of these spending control processes,upon this analysis, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents combined with increasedthe Company has sufficient liquidity from the Leasing Facilities and the issuance of the Debentures in January 2021 should, except in very extreme cases, be sufficient to support ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirementsremain a going concern for at least the next twelve12 months.

A prolonged However, a number of factors, including our ability to satisfy the expected growth in pipeline demand and complete cessation of or sustained significant decrease in North American construction activities or a sustained economic depression and its adverse impacts on customer demandthose discussed below, could adversely affectimpact our liquidity. liquidity over such period.

To the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents, available facilities and any increased liquidity from the Leasing Facilitiesaforementioned strategic actions 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. While we believe we can access capital markets when needed or under acceptable terms, there can be no assurance we will be able to do so.

SinceDuring 2021, we completed financings to increase our inception, we have financed operations primarily through cash flows from operations, long-term debt, andliquidity in light of the sale of equity securities. Over the past three years, we have funded our operations and capital expenditures through a combination of cash


flow from operations and cash on hand. We had no amounts outstanding under the Previous RBC Facility and $6.0 million outstanding under the Leasing Facilities as of December 31, 2020.

Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities decreased to $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $13.4 million for the comparative period in 2019. The decrease is cash flows from operations is largely due to a decrease in revenues and a reduction in trade and other payables partially offsethighly uncertain economic conditions caused by the receipt of government subsidies and improved collections of trade accounts receivable.

Investing Activities

We invested $16.6 million in property, plant and equipment assets (“PP&E”) during 2020 compared to $12.3 million in 2019. The increase was primarily due to capital investments in manufacturing facilities including $9.9pandemic. In January 2021, we issued C$40.3 million of equipment purchasesthe January Debentures for the South Carolina facility, $2.9net proceeds after costs of C$37.6 million ($29.5 million). The January 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 be repayable on the renovation of our Chicago DXCJanuary Debenture Maturity Date. Interest and $0.5 million on development to our new Dallas DXC. The balance of our investmentprincipal are payable in PP&E reflects corporate expenditures and sustaining capital for our manufacturing facilities. We invested $3.5 million on capitalized software and other assets in both 2020 and 2019.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.7 million in 2020 compared to $5.5 million used in financing activities in 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020 $6.1 million was received under the Leasing Facilities, of which $0.4 million of payments were made during the year. In 2019, we repaid the balance of $5.6 million on long-term debt outstanding and related interest during the first quarter of 2019.

We currently expect to fund anticipated future investments with available cash, including approximately C$37.7 million of proceeds from our convertible debenture issuance that was completed in February 2021, and drawings on our Leasing Facilities. We expect to draw approximately $11.0 million on our Leasing Facilities in the first half of 2021, financing the equipment purchases for our new South Carolina facility, largely paid for in installments in 2019 and 2020. Apart from cash flow from operations, issuing equity and debt has been our primary source of capital to date. Additional debt or equity financing may be pursued in the future as we deem appropriate. We may also use debt or pursue equity financing depending on the share priceshares at the time, interest rates, and natureoption of the investment opportunity and economic climate.Company.

Credit Facility

On July 19, 2019,In February 2021, we entered into the Previous RBC Facility, a C$50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with RBC. The Previous RBC Facility had a three- year term and could be extended for up to two additional years at our option. Interest was calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate with no adjustment, or the bankers’ acceptance rate plus 125 basis points. We were required to comply with certain financial covenants under the Previous RBC Facility, including maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) of 1.15:1 and a maximum debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.0:1 calculated on a trailing four quarter basis (the “Covenants”). We were also required to comply with certain non-financial covenants, including, among other things, covenants restricting our ability to (i) dispose of our property, (ii) enter into certain transactions intended to effect or otherwise permit a material change in our corporate or capital structure, (iii) incur any debt, other than permitted debt, and (iv) permit certain encumbrances on our property. At December 31, 2020, we had no amounts drawn on the Previous RBC Facility.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company entered into a letter agreement with RBC pursuant to which the Covenants under the Previous RBC Facility were waived for the June 30 and September 30, 2020 quarterly measurement dates (the "Covenant


Holiday Period"). In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company entered into a letter agreement with RBC pursuant to which the Covenants under the Previous RBC Facility were waived for the December 31, 2020 quarterly measurement date (the "Covenant Holiday Period Extension"). During the Covenant Holiday Period and the Covenant Holiday Period Extension, the Company was able to borrow to a maximum of 75% of eligible accounts receivable and 25% of eligible inventory, less priority payables, subject to an aggregate limit of $50.0 million including amounts borrowed under the Leasing Facilities. During the Covenant Holiday Period and the Covenant Holiday Period Extension, the Company was required to maintain a cash balance of C$10.0 million if no loans were drawn under the facility, have Adjusted EBITDA of not less than a loss of $7.0, $16.5 million and $3.0 million for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, and make capital expenditures of no more than $10.7 million during the Covenant Holiday Period and $8.8 million during the Covenant Holiday Period Extension. As at December 31, 2020, the Previous RBC Facility was undrawn and the available borrowing base was $10.6 million. The Company was in compliance with the requirements of the covenant holiday as at December 31, 2020.

On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into the New RBC Facility, a C$25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with RBC, replacing the Previous RBC Facility.RBC. Under the New RBC Facility, the Company“Borrowing Base” is able to borrow up to a maximum of 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 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims. UnderAvailable borrowings under the New RBC facility, available borrowings would have been C$9.3 million ($7.3 million)Facility at December 31, 2020 if2022 were C$7.2 million ($5.3 million). On February 9, 2023, the NewCompany extended the RBC Facility (the “Extended RBC Facility”). The Extended RBC Facility has an borrowing base of C$15 million and a one year term.

On November 15, 2021, we issued C$35.0 million of the December Debentures for net proceeds after costs of C$32.7 million ($25.6 million). The December Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum and are convertible into common shares of DIRTT at an exercise price of C$4.20 per common share, or if not converted will mature and be repayable on the December Debenture Maturity Date. Interest and principal are payable in cash or shares at the option of the Company.

The Company has a C$5.0 million Canada Leasing Facility of which C$4.4 million ($3.3 million) has been drawn, and a $14.0 million U.S. Leasing Facility of which $13.3 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.

Operating Activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities were $44.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $31.2 million used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021. Included in the $44.3 million used in operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2022 are $13.5 million of reorganization costs, $1.8 million of professional fees associated with the contested director elections, and $3.8 million of increased inventory arising from higher raw material prices and taking on incremental inventory from suppliers to mitigate against potential supply chain disruption, offset by the receipt of a $3.2 million income tax refund related to 2020. During the third and fourth quarter of 2022 we began to draw down our aluminum supply inventory. In the fourth quarter of 2022 we achieved positive operating cash flows through the realization of price increases, the implementation of a quick pay discount program which led to higher collections, and a focus on reduced spending. Apart from the above noted items, working capital changes primarily reflect government subsidies receivable offset by higher customer deposits.

Investing Activities

We invested $2.4 million in property, plant and equipment during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $11.8 million during 2021. The expenditures for 2022 comprised $1.0 million of working capital changes, $0.8 million of manufacturing upgrades, $0.3 million related to our website design and $0.3 million related to DXC refreshes and IT equipment. The decrease in investing activities is largely due to reduced spending as the Rock Hill Facility and Dallas DXC were completed in 2021.

We invested $1.7 million on capitalized software during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $2.3 million for the comparative period in 2021.

Actual capital expenditures of $4.3 million were below our 2022 capital budget of $7.0 million. Our 2022 capital expenditure program comprised approximately $2.5 million related to refreshes of DXCs, continued enhancement of our customer relationship management system and website redesign, approximately $2.5 million on software development and approximately $2.0 million on manufacturing and other capital upgrades of which actual expenditures have been less than budget.

Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2022, $0.9 million of cash was used in place.financing activities, comprising mainly of $2.5 million of scheduled payments under the Leasing Facilities and $1.0 million relating to taxes paid on the vesting of RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2022 offset by the receipt of $2.0 million net proceeds from the Private Placement and a draw of C$0.9 million ($0.7 million) under the Canada Leasing Facility. For the year ended December 31, 2021, $62.5 million of cash was provided by financing activities, mainly due to the proceeds received from the issuance of C$37.6 million and C$32.7 million of Debentures in January and December of 2021, respectively, and the receipt of $9.8 million of cash consideration under the U.S. Leasing Facility.

We currently expect to fund anticipated future investments with available cash, which includes the net proceeds from the Private Placement, and drawings on the RBC Facility. We also expect to pursue additional strategic actions to improve available cash, which included filing an application for ERC for the first three quarters of 2021 for $7.1 million, net of expenses, evaluating properties we own for sale and lease back and evaluating multiple initiatives related to the use of our ICE software. Refer to “–Liquidity and Capital Resources" for further details. Apart from cash flow from operations, issuing equity and debt has been our primary source of capital to date. Additional debt or equity financing may be pursued in the future as we deem appropriate. We may also use debt or pursue equity financing depending on the price of our common shares at the time, interest rates, and nature of the investment opportunity and economic climate. No assurance can be given that any of these actions will be successful, will be sufficient for our needs.

Credit Facility

On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into the RBC Facility. Under the RBC Facility, the Borrowing Base is up to a maximum of 90% of investment grade or insured accounts receivable plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 75%

40


of the book value of eligible inventory and 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims. At December 31, 2022, available borrowings are C$7.2 million ($5.3 million), of which no amounts have been drawn. Interest is calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 30 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 155 basis points. Under the New RBC Facility, if the “Aggregate Excess Availability”, defined as the Borrowing Base less any loan advances or letters of credit or guarantee and if undrawn including unrestricted cash (the “Aggregate Excess Availability”), is less than C$5.0 million, the Company is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) covenant of 1.10:1 calculated on a trailing twelve month basis. Additionally, if the FCCR has been abovebelow 1.10:1 for the three immediately consecutivepreceding months, the Company is required to maintain a reserve account equal to the aggregate of one-yearone year of payments on outstanding loans on the Leasing Facilities. We anticipateThe Company did not meetingmeet the three month FCCR requirement forduring the end of the firstfourth quarter of 2021,2022, which would resultresulted in requiring $1.1the restriction of $3.4 million of cash, being one-year payments on the Leasing Facilities, to be restricted. This amount could increase as we draw additional amounts on the Leasing Facilities.cash. Should an event of default occur or the Aggregate Excess Availability be less than C$6.25 million for five consecutive business days, the Company would enter a cash dominion period whereby the Company’s bank accounts would be blocked by RBC and daily balances will set-off any borrowings and any remaining amounts made available to the Company. On February 9, 2023, the Company extended the RBC Facility (the “Extended RBC Facility”). The Extended RBC Facility has an borrowing base of C$15 million and a one year term. Interest is calculated as at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 200 basis points. Under the Extended RBC Facility, until such time that the trailing twelve month FCCR is above 1.25 for three consecutive months, a cash balance equivalent to 1-years worth of Leasing Facilities payments must be maintained.

During 2020, the Company entered into the Leasing Facilities, consisting of athe C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada Leasing Facility and a $16.0the $14.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States (the “Leasing Facilities”)U.S. Leasing Facility with RBC, which are available for equipment expenditures and certain equipment expenditures already incurred. Pursuant to the Covenant Holiday Period Extension, the equipment leasing facility in the United States was reduced from $16.0 million to $14.0 million and the revolving Leasing Facilities were amended to be amortizing facilities. The Leasing Facilities, respectively, have seven and five-year terms and bear interest at 4.25% and 4.50%5.59%. The U.S. equipment Leasing Facility is amortized over a six-year term and is extendible at the Company’s option for an additional year.

During 2020, theThe Company received $3.5has drawn $13.3 million of cash consideration under the U.S. equipment Leasing Facility and commenced the lease term in 2020 for the equipment at the South CarolinaRock Hill Facility. The Company receivedhas drawn C$3.64.4 million ($2.63.3 million) of cash consideration under the equipmentCanada Leasing Facility in Canada and commenced the lease term for the Canadian equipment expenditures during 2020. C$0.9 million ($0.7 million) of the Canada Leasing Facility was drawn during the year ended December 31, 2022.

We were subject to certain restrictive and financial covenants under the Previous RBC Facility. Under the New RBC Facility, we are restricted from paying dividends unless Payment Conditions (as defined in the New RBC Facility) are met, including having a net borrowing availability of at least C$10 million over the proceeding 30 day30-day period, and having a trailing twelve month fixed charge coverage ratio above 1.10:1 and certain other conditions

SignificantCritical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our critical accounting estimates include the areas where we have made what we consider to be particularly difficult, subjective or complex judgments in making estimates, and where these estimates can significantly affect our financial results under different assumptions and conditions. We prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP. As a result, we are required to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could be different from these estimates. Critical estimates and assumptions made by management include:

41


Estimates of liabilities associated with the potential and amount of warranty, legal claims and other contingencies

We have warranty obligations with respect to manufacturing defects on most of our manufactured products. Warranty periods generally range from one to 10ten years. We have recorded a reserve for estimated warranty and related costs based on historical experience and periodically adjust these provisions to reflect actual experience. We assess the adequacy of our warranty accrual on a quarterly basis, and adjust the previous amounts recorded, if necessary, to reflect the change in estimate of the future costs of claims yet to be serviced. Typically, product deficiencies requiring our warranty are identified and remediated within a year of production. The following provides information with respect to our warranty accrual. At December 31, 20202022 and 2019,2021, we had $1.8$1.3 million and $4.0$1.5 million, respectively, accrued for warranty and other provisions, and third-party costs associated with remedying deficiencies were $1.3$1.1 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020,2022, as compared to $2.6$0.8 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Following the completion of third-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 been 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 and reduced the associated provision to $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. 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.2021.

We establish reserves for estimated legal contingencies when we believe a loss on litigation is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Revisions to contingent liability reserves are reflected in operations in the period in which there are changes in facts and circumstances that affect our previous assumptions with respect to the likelihood or amount of loss. Reserves for contingent liabilities are based upon our assumptions and estimates regarding the probable outcome of the matter. We estimate the probable cost by evaluating historical precedent as well as the specific facts relating to each contingency (including the opinion of outside advisors). Should the outcome differ from our assumptions and estimates, or other events result in a material adjustment to the accrued estimated reserves, revisions to the estimated reserves for contingent liabilities would be required and would be recognized in the period the new information becomes known. At December 31, 20202022 and 2019,2021, we had $nil$0.05 million and $0.7$0.1 million respectively, provided for legal provisions.provisions, respectively.


Estimates of useful lives of depreciable assets and the fair value of long-term assets used for impairment calculations

We evaluate the recoverability of our property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E and&E”), capitalized software costs and right of use assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. If impairment is indicated, the impairment loss is measured as the amount the assets carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Our determination of the fair value associated with long-term assets involves significant estimates and assumptions, including those with respect to the determination of asset groups, future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, and asset lives. In the current year, estimates of cash inflows are dependent on the timing and extent of recovery of the slowdown experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These significant estimates require considerable judgment, which could affect our future results if the current estimates of future performance and fair values change.

We estimate the useful lives of PP&E, and capitalized software costs and right of use assets based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives are reviewed annually and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the relevant assets. In addition, the estimation of the useful lives of the relevant assets may be based on internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates brought about by changes in factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of the PP&E and capitalized software assets would increase the recorded expenses and decrease the non-current assets.

We test goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the calendar year. Due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results in 2021, we determined it was necessary to use the quantitative approach to perform our goodwill impairment test. Based on our testing, the fair value of goodwill did not exceed the carrying value of its net assets and, accordingly, the entire $1.4 million balance of goodwill was impaired as at December 31, 2021. There was no impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Estimates of future taxable earnings used to assess the realizable value of deferred tax assets

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts reported in the financial statements. Deferred income tax assets also reflect the benefit of unutilized tax losses that can be carried forward to reduce income taxes in future years. Such method requires the exercise of significant judgment in determining whether or not our deferred tax assets are probable of recovery from taxable income of future years and, therefore, can be recognized in the financial statements. Also, estimates are required to determine the expected timing upon which tax assets will be realized and upon which tax liabilities will be settled. We assess the ability to recover our deferred tax assets every quarter and concluded that a valuation allowance was required against our Canadian deferred tax assets.assets at December 31, 2022 of $29.8 million (2021 - $17.3 million).

42


Tax interpretations, regulations, and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate

The determination of our provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Our provision for income taxes reflects a combination of income earned and taxed in the various U.S. federal and state, and Canadian federal and provincial, jurisdictions. Jurisdictional tax law changes, increases or decreases in permanent differences between book and tax items, accruals or adjustments of accruals for tax contingencies or valuation allowances, and the change in the mix of earnings from these taxing jurisdictions all affect the overall effective tax rate.

We have no liability for uncertain tax positions. However, should we accrue for such liabilities, when and if they arise in the future, we will recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of our income tax provision.

Estimates of the fair value of stock awards, including whether the performance criteria will be met and measurement of the ultimate payout amount

We use a fair-value based approach for measuring stock-based compensation and record compensation expense over an award’s vesting period based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. Our awards vest based on service conditions, and compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that ultimately vest.

Prior to October 2019, we allowed certain vested stock options to be surrendered for cash, resulting in the stock options being accounted for as liabilities at fair value every period, which increases the sensitivity of our accounting to share price movements.

Estimates of ability and timeliness of customer payments of accounts receivable

Our expected credit loss reflects reserves for customer receivables to reduce receivables to amounts expected to be collected. Management uses significant judgment in estimating expected credit losses. In estimating the Company’s current estimate of expected


credit losses, management considers 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. While we believe these processes effectively address our exposure for doubtful accounts and credit losses have historically been within expectations, changes in the economy, industry, or specific customer conditions may require adjustments to the expected credit loss. We have a contract with a trade credit insurance provider, whereby a portion of our trade receivables are insured. The trade credit insurance provider determines the coverage amount, if any, on a customer-by-customer basis. Based on our trade receivables balance as at December 31, 20202022 and 2019, 84%2021, approximately 77% and nil%90%, respectively, of that balance was covered by trade credit insurance provider.

At December 31, 2020,2022, we had an allowance for expected credit loss of $0.6$0.1 million (2019(2021 - $0.1 million).

Item 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.


Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and accrued receivables, other receivables, long-term deposits and long-term receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other liabilities, lease liabilities and long-term debt.debt and accrued interest. We are exposed to market, credit and liquidity risks associated with financial assets and liabilities. We currently do not use financial derivatives to reduce exposures from changes in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or interest rates. We do not hold or use any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Our Board has responsibility for the establishment and approval of overall risk management policies, including those related to financial instruments. Management performs continuous assessments to ensure that all significant risks related to financial instruments are reviewed and addressed in light of changes to market conditions and operating activities.

Credit risk

Our principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, andrestricted cash, trade and accrued receivables and other receivables.

Our credit risk is primarily concentrated in our trade and accrued receivables as we do not believe that we are exposed to any significant credit risk related to our cash and cash equivalents.equivalents, other receivables (owing from government) and restricted cash balances. The amounts disclosed in the consolidated balance sheet for trade and accrued receivables and other receivables are net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowances are provided for the Company’s current estimate of all expected credit losses using the lifetime expected credit loss model. 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 December 31, 2020,2022, approximately 84%77% 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 DistributionConstruction Partner base, which is geographically dispersed. No DistributionConstruction Partner accounts for greater than 10% of revenue. In addition, and where possible, we collect a 50% deposit on sales, excluding government and certain other clients. In November 2022 we also introduced a quick pay discount program.

The overall change and uncertainty in the economy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic hashad 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 DistributionConstruction Partners and other customers to pay amounts owed or owing to DIRTT due to the impact of local shutdowns on businesses in certain markets. Accordingly,During the year ended December 31, 2021, we have increaseddecreased our provision for expected credit losses by $0.6$0.5 million to $0.7$0.1 million which was related to an uncollectable amount written off during the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. During 2022 no revisions to our credit loss estimate was required.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, will affect our income or the value of the financial instruments held.

Foreign exchange risk

Historically, the majority (approximately 80% to 89%88%) of our revenue is collected in U.S. dollars, and approximately 60%40% of our costs are also incurred in U.S. dollars. Most other revenue and costs are denominated in Canadian dollars. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar, which could have a positive or negative impact on our revenue and costs. The recent weakeningstrengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar in the later half of 2022 has had a negativepositive impact on results because reported cost reductions are lesshigher than reported revenue reductions.

Our financial instruments are exposed primarily to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar. The following table details our exposure to currency risk at the reporting dates and a sensitivity analysis to changes in currency. The sensitivity analysis includes Canadian dollar-denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at period end for their respective change in the Canadian dollar. For


the respective weakening of the Canadian dollar, there would be an equal and opposite impact on net incomeloss and comprehensive income.loss.

Commodity price risk

We consume raw materials such as aluminum, hardware, wood and veneer, timber, plastic, electrical wiring and components, paint and powder, and fabric and vinyl. While aluminum represents the largest component of our raw materials’ expenditures, overall aluminum spend comprises only approximately 10%14% of product revenues and, therefore, absolute exposure to price fluctuations has a minimal impact on profitability.

Interest rate risk

In July 2019,February 2021, we entered into the PreviousRBC Facility. The RBC Facility withhad no amounts outstanding at December 31, 2020. Historically, certain of our financial liabilities are subject to interest charges at floating rates and are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. Term loans under the previous revolving operating facility were repaid without penalty in January of 2019. An increase in overall interest rates by 0.5% would have increased interest expense related to these items and decreasedecreased net income (loss)loss and comprehensive income (loss)loss by $nil for 20202022 and $0.1 million for 2019.2021. An equal decrease in rates would generate an equal amount of interest savings. On February 9, 2023, the Company extended the RBC Facility (the “Extended RBC Facility”). The Extended RBC Facility has an borrowing base of C$15 million and a one year term. Interest is calculated as at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 200 basis points.

The Company’s Leasing Facilities and Debentures bear interest at fixed interest rates and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. and its subsidiaries (together, the Company) as of December 31, 20202022 and 2019,2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss),loss, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020,2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20202022 and 2019,2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20202022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2019 due to the adoption of ASC Topic 842, Leases.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”), including comparative figures, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

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 upon consolidation.

Basis of measurement

These Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments and stock-based compensation that are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the Financial Statements. Estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management considers reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include:

Estimates of ability and timeliness of customer payments of accounts receivable;

trade receivables;

Estimates of useful lives of depreciable assets as well as the fair value of long-term assets and future cash flows used for impairment calculations;

Estimates of future taxable earnings used to assess the realizable value of deferred tax assets;

53


Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate;


Estimates of the fair value of stock awards, including whether the performance criteria will be met and measurement of the ultimate payout amount; and

Estimates of liabilities associated with the potential and amount of warranty, legal claims and other contingencies.

Estimates of liabilities associated with the potential and amount of warranty, legal claims and other contingencies.

Segments

Segments

Management has determined that DIRTT has one operating segment. The Company’s chief executive officer, who is DIRTT’s chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on a consolidated and aggregate basis, together with certain operating metrics principally to make decisions about how to allocate resources and to measure the Company’s performance.

Foreign currency translation

DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. is a Canadian company and its functional currency is the Canadian dollar. DIRTT’s wholly owned subsidiary is domiciled in the United States and its functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, other than those held through foreign subsidiaries, are translated into the transacting company’s functional currency at the year-end exchange rate for monetary items and at the historical exchange rates for non-monetary items. Foreign currency revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the dates of the related transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses, other than those arising from the translation of the Company’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries, are included in income.

The accounts of the Company’s U.S. dollar subsidiary is translated into Canadian dollars, and the Financial Statements are translated into U.S. dollars for financial statement presentation. Assets and liabilities are translated using year-end exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using average monthly exchange rates. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of the Company’s assets and liabilities are included in “other comprehensive income (loss)”“comprehensive loss for the year”.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand held at banks and cash equivalents, which are defined as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash is a reserve account not available for immediate or general business use and is required when certain requirements are not met under the terms of the Company’s senior secured credit facility (as defined in Note 14).

Trade and other receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accountsexpected credit losses

For the year-ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s policy was as follows:

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not require collateral and do not bear interest. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts using the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology, which is designed to capture the Company’s current estimate of all expected credit losses.

Inventory

Prior Accounting Policy

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not require collateral and do not bear interest. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the Company’s customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations, such as bankruptcy and significantly aged receivables outstanding.

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of raw materials and work in progress. The Company does not typically carry a significant amount of finished goods inventory. Inventory is valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is based on an item’s usability in the manufacturing of the Company’s products. The Company records an allowance for obsolescence when the net realizable value of inventory items declines below weighted average cost, net realizable value is determined based on current market prices for inventory less the estimated cost to sell. Work in progress is valued at an estimate of cost, including attributable overheads, based on stage of completion.

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 separately recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.


Leases

The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or finance leases. Leases where the Company assumes substantially all of the rewards or ownership and leases where ownership is transferred at the end of the lease term, or by way of a

54


bargain purchase option, are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in the statement of operations.

The Company’s Leasing Facilities (as defined in Note 13)7) are accounted for as finance leases as ownership of the equipment is expected to return to the Company at the end of the lease term. These transactions are not accounted for as a sale of the underlying equipment as the Company continues to control the equipment.

For leases categorized as operating, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease element at inception. The arrangement is a lease if it conveys the right to the Company to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are separately disclosed as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, with a corresponding lease liability split between current and long-term components on the balance sheet. Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not included on the balance sheet.

The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Prior Accounting Policy

For the year-ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s leases policy was as follows:

The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or capital leases. Leases where the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as capital leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in the statement of operations. Other leases that qualify as operating leases are not recognized in the Company’s balance sheet. In certain lease agreements, the Company may receive rent holidays or other incentives. The Company recognizes lease costs on a straight-line basis once control of the asset is achieved, without regard to deferred payment terms such as rent holidays that defer the commencement date of required payments. Additionally, incentives received are treated as a reduction of costs over the term of the agreement.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, including direct costs, attributable indirect costs and carrying costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Depreciation is charged to the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Building

25 years

Manufacturing equipment

10 years

Leasehold improvements

Over term of lease (1 to 10 years)

Office equipment

5 years

Tooling and prototypes

4 years

Computer equipment

3 years

Vehicles

3 years

When assets are disposed of or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation and impairment losses are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting loss is reflected in operating expenses.


Capitalized software costs

The Company capitalizes costs related to internally developed software during the application development stage when (i) the preliminary project stage is completed, (ii) management has authorized further funding for the completion of the project, and (iii) it is probable that the project will be completed and performed as intended. Capitalized costs includes costs of personnel and related expenses for employees and third parties directly attributable to the projects. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Costs incurred for significant upgrades and enhancements are also capitalized. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities, including training, maintenance and minor modifications or enhancements are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the developed asset, which is generally three to five years.years. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of the assets.

Software development is considered internal-use as it is used to design and sell the DIRTT products and is not included in the end client’s product. Revenues received from DistributionConstruction Partners for ICE Software are recognized as revenues as they are considered an element of the product sale. Any incidental third-party revenues received for the ICE Software are credited against capitalized software costs. The Company follows this accounting policy for cloud computing arrangements that are considered a service contract, however, these projects are capitalized to prepaids and other assets on the balance sheet and are expensed as an

55


operating cost, as opposed to amortization, over the expected term of the software service contract. The Company adopted this amendment on January 1, 2020 using the prospective transition approach and classified $0.7 million as other assets on the consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s property, plant and equipment, capitalized software costs and ROU assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and changes in circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant changes in the use of the assets, significant negative industry or economic trends, and changes in the Company’s business strategy. Impairment testing is performed at an asset level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (an “asset group”). In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset group. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 in 2019, which simplified the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step of the goodwill impairment test.

The carrying value of goodwill, which is not amortized, is assessed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently as economic events dictate. The Company has the option of performing an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If goodwill is determined to be impaired, the impairment charge that would be recognized is based on the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill.

Convertible Debentures

The Company accounts for convertible debentures as liabilities. Embedded features included in the convertible debentures that require bifurcation are accounted for separately. Costs incurred directly related to the issuance of convertible debentures are presented as a direct deduction against the carrying amount of the convertible debentures and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.

Income taxes

Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) except to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity.


Current tax

Current tax expense is based on the results for the year, adjusted for items that are not taxable or not deductible. Current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that were enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period during which the change occurs.

When appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to reflect that these tax assets may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on management’s judgment using available evidence about future events.

At times, tax benefits claims may be challenged by a tax authority. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not sustainable upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50%50% likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.

56


Revenue recognition

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”) and Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue in a manner that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers at transaction price, an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Transaction price is calculated as selling price net of variable consideration which may include estimates for sales incentives related to current period product revenue. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, after discounts, rebates and sales taxes or income taxes and duties.

Product sales

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment. The Company’s main performance obligation to customers is the delivery of products in accordance with purchase orders. Each purchase order defines the transaction price for the products purchased under the arrangement. DistributionConstruction Partners typically sell DIRTT product to end clients and issue purchase orders to the Company to manufacture the product. DistributionConstruction Partners utilize ICE licenses to sell DIRTT products, the ICE licenses sold to DistributionConstruction Partners are not considered a separate performance obligation as they are not distinct, and ICE license revenue is recognized in conjunction with product sales. The DistributionConstruction Partner ICE Software revenue is recognized over the license period.

The Company’s standard sales terms are Free On Board (“FOB”) shipping point, which comprise the majority of sales. The Company usually requires a 50%50% progress payment on receipt of certain orders, excluding certain government orders or in some special contractual situations. Customer deposits received are recognized as a liability on the balance sheet until revenue recognition criteria is met. At the point of shipment, the customer is generally required to pay the balance of the sales price within 30 days. The Company’s sales arrangements do not have any material financing components. In addition, the Company’s customer arrangements do not produce contract assets that are material to its consolidated financial statements.

The Company provides sales commissions to internal and external sales representatives which are earned in the period in which revenue is recognized.


The Company accounts for product transportation revenue and costs as fulfillment activities and present the associated costs in costs of goods sold in the period in which the Company sells its product.

Contracts containing multiple performance obligations

The Company offers certain arrangements whereby a customer can purchase products and installation together which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Where multiple performance obligations exist, the Company determines revenue recognition by (1) identifying the contract with the customer, (2) identifying the performance obligation in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations based on the relative standalone selling prices, typically based on cost plus a reasonable margin, and (5) recognizing revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Installation and other services

The Company provides installation and other services for certain customers as a distinct performance obligation. Revenue from installation services is recognized over time as the service is performed.

Principal vs Agent Considerations

The Company evaluates the presentation of revenue on a gross vs. net basis based on whether it acts as a principal by controlling the product or service sales to customers. In certain instances, the Company facilitates contracting of certain sales on behalf of DistributionConstruction Partners. The Company records these revenues on a gross basis when the Company is obligated to fulfill the service and has the risk associated with service delivery. The Company records these revenues on a net basis when the DistributionConstruction Partner has the obligation to fulfill the services and has the risk associated with service delivery.

Distribution57


Construction Partner rebates

Rebates to DistributionConstruction Partners (“Partner Rebates”) are accrued for and recognized as a reduction of revenue at the date of the sale to the customer. Partner Rebates include amounts collected directly by the Company owed to DistributionConstruction Partners in accordance with their DistributionConstruction Partner agreements, being the difference between the price to the end customer and the DistributionConstruction Partners’ price. Other sales discounts including early pay promotions, are deducted immediately from sales invoices.

Contract balances

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records an unbilled receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing. As the Company’s contracts are less than one year in duration, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedients to expense costs related to costs to obtain contracts and not disclose unfulfilled performance obligations. As deferred revenue and customer deposits are typically recognized during the year the Company does not account for financing elements.

Warranties

The Company provides a warranty on all products sold to its clients and DistributionConstruction Partner’s clients. Warranties are not sold separately to customers. Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized based on an analysis of historical costs for warranty claims relative to current activity levels and adjusted for factors based on management’s assessment that increase or decrease the provision. Warranty provision is recognized in cost of goods sold. Warranty claims have historically not been material and do not constitute a separate performance obligation.

Stock-based compensation

The Company follows the fair value-based approach to account for options, share awards and restricted share units (“RSUs”). Compensation expense and an increase in “Additional paid-in capital” are recognized for options and RSUs over their vesting period based on their estimated fair values on the grant date, as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the majority of options and the market value of the Company’s common shares on the grant date for share awards and RSUs. Certain executive stock options and RSUs have performance conditions and are valued using a Monte Carlo model.

On exercise of stock options and RSUs, the recorded fair value of the option or RSU is removed from “Additional paid-in capital” and credited to “Share capital”. For options, any consideration paid by employees is credited to “Share capital” when the


option is exercised. The Company’s stock options and RSUs are not shares of the Company and have no rights to vote, receive dividends, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company.

During 2018 and 2019, the Company provided a cash settlement alternative for certain stock options. The fair value on grants attributable to those awards was reclassified on the balance sheet from shareholders’ equity to other liabilities, and at period end the liability is adjusted to fair value and the excess of fair value over previously recognized stock-based compensation is expensed. The fair value of the awards at the date of modification was greater than the grant date fair value of the previously vested equity awards, therefore the additional fair value was treated as an expense at the date of modification. Increases or decreases in fair value subsequent to the modification date will be recorded in earnings except that the Company shall not recognize a cumulative expense lower than the grant date fair value of the original equity awards. On October 9, 2019, following the listing of its common shares on Nasdaq, the Company ceased cash-settlement of stock options and the associated liability accounting for stock options and returned to equity settlement accounting for stock options, as described above.

Stock based compensation expense is also recognized for performance share units (“PSUs”) and deferred share units (“DSUs”) using the fair value method. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period and the corresponding amount is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet.

Technology and development expenditures

Technology and development expenses are comprised primarily of salaries and benefits associated with the Company’s product and software development personnel which do not qualify for capitalization. These costs are expensed as incurred and exclude certain information and technology costs used in operations which are classified as general and administrative costs.

Government subsidies

The Company accounts for 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. The nature, significant terms and conditions of government subsidies are disclosed in the financial statements. (Refer to Note 3 on adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-10,Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance,)

Earnings per share (“EPS”)

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for determining the dilutive impact of stock options. The Company follows the “if converted” method for accounting for the impact of convertible debentures on earnings (loss) per share, whereby interest charges applicable to the convertible debentures are added to the numerator and the convertible debentures are assumed to have been converted at the beginning of the period (or time of issuance, if later), and the resulting common shares are added to the denominator.

Fair value of financial instruments

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The Company’s fair value analysis is based on the degree to which the fair value is observable and grouped into categories accordingly:

Level 1 financial instruments are those which can be derived from quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for similar financial assets or liabilities.

Level 2 financial instruments are those which can be derived from inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). Level 2 financial instruments include current and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of these instruments approximates fair value due to limited changes to interest rates and the Company’s credit rating since issuance.

Level 3 financial instruments are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the financial asset or liability which are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The Company does not have any Level 3 financial instruments.


The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents;equivalents and restricted cash; trade and accrued receivables, other receivables; accounts payable and accrued liabilities andliabilities; other liabilities; and customer deposits approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

On January 1, 2020,In 2021, the Company adoptedFinancial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. The ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Lossesprovides guidance on required disclosures with respect to government assistance in Financial Instruments” and the subsequent amendmentsa company’s notes 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 (“ASC 326”). These ASUs replace the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the CECL methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable toannual financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on Leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with GAAP. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant 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.

On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 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). This ASU eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation.statements. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal yearsperiods beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

2021. The Company intends to adopthas adopted this standard effective January 1, 2022 and notes there is no significant impact of this standard on January 1, 2021 as the guidance helps simplify debt and equity considerations associated with the Company’s convertible debentures which were issued in February 2021.our accounting or disclosures for government assistance.

Although there are several 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 pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its Financial Statements.

4. LIQUIDITY

4. COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was declared a global pandemicThe Company has been negatively impacted by the World Health Organizationeffect of COVID-19 on the non-residential construction industry, costs incurred associated with the Company’s contested director elections, reorganization costs to reconstitute the executive team and align the Company’s cost structure with current sales activity, and significant inflation on raw materials costs, which have resulted in a significant usage of cash in recent periods which has been funded through Convertible Debentures and Leasing Facilities entered into in the prior year (refer to Note 14). As at December 31, 2022, the Company had extraordinary$10.8 million of cash on hand and rapid negativeC$7.2 million ($5.3 million) of available borrowings (December 31, 2021 - $60.3 million and $10.4 million of available borrowings).

We have implemented a number of restructuring initiatives to create a reduced cost structure moving forward (refer to Note 6) and have implemented multiple price increases during the year to mitigate the impact of inflation on raw material costs. While these actions and our project pipeline are promising, we continue to see unpredictability in our pace of orders. As a result, the Company has initiated certain actions to improve our balance sheet in the short term. First, we are evaluating initiatives related to the use of ICE software by third parties to supplement the relatively small revenues we have previously recognized from our licensing of ICE software to certain strategic partners for use in their businesses and our related licensing and developer software support for these counterparties. Second, we have certain properties that are currently owned that we are evaluating for potential sale and lease back

arrangements. We do not intend to vacate these premises as they still serve a valuable aspect of our value proposition, but this type of arrangement would provide us with a one-time cash payment in the near term, in exchange for future rent payments. We expect these strategic initiatives to result in positive cash inflows in 2023. As these transactions are awaiting finalization, we completed a Private Placement (defined in Note 21) of common shares, supported by significant shareholders and directors and officers of the Company to bridge cash requirements between now and the completion and closing of the noted strategic transactions (refer to Note 21).

We have assessed the Company’s liquidity position as at December 31, 2022 using multiple scenarios taking into account our sales outlook for the next year, our existing cash balances and available credit facilities and the probability of executing the strategic transactions noted above. Based on this analysis we believe the Company has sufficient liquidity to support ongoing operations for the next twelve months. However, should anticipated profitable growth and increased labor headcount and manufacturing capacity not occur or should there be a delayed recovery of the North American construction activities from the pandemic, a sustained economic depression and its adverse impacts on global societies, workplaces, economiescustomer demand or significant inflationary pressure on raw materials and health systems. transportation cost that we are unable to recover through price increases, the Company will need to identify alternative sources of financing, further reduce its cost structure, delay capital expenditures, evaluate potential asset sales and potentially curtail or cease certain operations. While the Company is confident that it will be able to raise additional capital when needed or under acceptable terms, there can be no absolute assurance it will be able to do so.

5. COVID-19

The resulting adverse economic conditions have negatively impactedimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future consolidated results of operations remains uncertain. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our employees, operations, customers, suppliers and financial results depends on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic (and whether there is a resurgence or multiple resurgences in the future, including the impact of new variants); government actions taken in response to the pandemic, including required shutdowns or vaccine or testing mandates; the availability, acceptance, distribution and continued effectiveness of vaccines; the impact on construction activity, including the effect on our customers’ demand for our interior construction systems; supply chain disruptions; rising inflation; labor shortages; sustained remote or hybrid work models; our ability to manufacture and consequently DIRTT’s business, with potentialsell our products; and the ability of our customers to pay for our products. While many of our products support life-sustaining activities and essential construction, we and certain of our customers or suppliers may be impacted by national, federal, state and provincial actions, orders and policies regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, including: temporary closures of non-life-sustaining businesses, shelter-in-place orders, and travel, social distancing and quarantine policies, the implementation and enforcement of which vary in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We did not record any asset impairments, inventory charges or material bad debt reserves related to COVID-19 during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, but future events may require such charges which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Government subsidies

In the United States, the Employee Retention Credit ("ERC") was established by Section 2301 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") to provide an incentive for employers to keep their employees on their payroll during COVID-19 closures. The ERC is a refundable payroll tax credit based on qualified wages paid by an eligible employer between March 12, 2020, and October 1, 2021 for companies experiencing a significant negative impacts extendingdecline in gross receipts during a calendar quarter or having operations fully or partially suspended during the quarter due to COVID-19. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company determined it was eligible for the ERC for the first halfthree quarters of 2021 and beyond.

While many construction sites remain open and re-opening strategies have been implemented across North America, certain projects have experienced delays, impacted by both the implementation of social distancing and other safety related measures and the re-emergence of COVID-19 in certain geographic areas. It is not possible to predict the timing and pace of economic recovery, or the resumption of delayed construction activity and related demand, nor is it possible to predict the impact of such developments on the Company’s ability to achieve its business objectives.


COVID-19 has increased the complexity of estimates and assumptions used to prepare the Company’s consolidated financial statements, particularly related to impairment (see Note 5) and deferred tax assets (see Note 14) and 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 $0.6filed a claim for $7.3 million in payroll tax credits ($7.1 million net of expenses). As of December 31, 2022 these credits have not been received and are included in other receivables in the first quarter of 2020 (see Note 7). Management will continue to reassess the impact of COVID-19 on our Distribution Partners in future periods. The estimation of such credit losses is complex because of limited historical precedent for the current economic situation. In addition, the Company acquired trade credit insurance effective April 1, 2020.balance sheet.

Liquidity risk

The Company may have lower cash flows from operating activities available to service debts due to lower sales or collections. See Note 13 for information about our credit facilities.

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”). The CEWS providesprovided the Company with a taxable subsidy in respect of a specific portion of wages paid to Canadian employees during thequalifying periods extending from March 15, 2020 to March 13,October 23, 2021 (with a potential extension to June 30, 2021), based on the percentage decline of the Company in certain of its Canadian-sourcedthe Company’s Canadian sourced revenues during each qualifying period. The Company'sCompany’s eligibility for the CEWS maywas subject to change for each qualifying period and iswas reviewed by the Company for each qualifying period, with amounts being received by the Company for various, but not each, qualifying period. Pursuant to amendments enacted as part of the 2021 Canadian federal budget, the Company is required to repay a portion of the CEWS amounts received for any qualifying period commencing after June 5, 2021 where the aggregate compensation for “specified executives” (within the meaning of the CEWS) during the 2021 calendar year exceeds the aggregate compensation for “specified executives” during the 2019 calendar year. Upon finalization of 2021 compensation to specified executives, approximately C$0.5 million ($0.4 million) of subsidies was repaid to the Canadian authorities in the second quarter of 2022. The repayment amount was fully provided for in the third quarter of 2021 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and in the first quarter of 2022 the Company reversed a $0.6 million incremental provision related to this that is no longer necessary.

60


On November 19, 2020, the Canadian government also implemented the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (“CERS”). The CERS providesprovided a taxable subsidy to cover eligible expenses for qualifying properties, subject to certain maximums, starting onfor qualifying periods extending from September 27, 2020 to March 13,October 23, 2021, (with a potential extension to June 30, 2021), with the amount of the subsidy available to the Company being based on the percentage decline of the Company in certain of itsthe Company’s Canadian-sourced revenues in each qualifying period. The Company'sCompany’s eligibility for the CERS maywas subject to change for each qualifying period and iswas reviewed by the Company for each qualifying period.

5. IMPAIRMENTThe last claim period under the CEWS and CERS programs ended on October 23, 2021. The Company is not eligible and did not receive any new Canadian government subsidies in year ended December 31, 2022.

6. REORGANIZATION

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company undertook a number of reorganization initiatives:

Closure of Phoenix Aluminum Manufacturing Facility (the “Phoenix Facility”)

On February 22, 2022, we commenced the process of closing our Phoenix Facility, shifting related manufacturing to both our Savannah and Calgary aluminum manufacturing facilities. The closure of the Phoenix Facility was substantially completed in the second quarter of 2022. The Company entered into a sublease arrangement during the second quarter of 2022, commencing July 1, 2022, which exceeds the contractual lease commitments under the Right of Use assets.

Workforce Reductions, Board and Management Changes

In February and July of 2022, we announced our intention to eliminate a portion of our salaried workforce including manufacturing and office positions along with other cost reduction initiatives. The Company’s Board of Directors was reconstituted following a contested proxy contest in April 2022 which was deemed a change of control under the Company’s insurance policy resulting in additional insurance expenditures. Further, the Company made changes to several executive officer roles during the year ended December 31, 2022, which resulted in incurring certain termination benefits and recruitment costs.

Temporary Suspension of Operations at Rock Hill, South Carolina (the "Rock Hill Facility")

On August 23, 2022, we announced the temporary suspension of operations at our Rock Hill Facility, shifting related manufacturing to our Calgary manufacturing facility.

Discontinuation of Reflect Product Line and Other Charges Incurred

In August 2022, the Company discontinued the Reflect and other product lines, resulting in a one time inventory write-down of $1.0 million, and an acceleration of amortization expense associated with ICE development for Reflect.

Additionally, the Company accelerated the depreciation of certain items of property, plant and equipment associated with the closure of the COVID-19 pandemic onPhoenix Facility resulting in additional depreciation incurred in the Company resulted in a potential indicator of impairment. Management compared forecasted undiscounted cash flows to the book values of non-current assets and determined an impairment provision was not required.

The Company’s goodwill is assessed at the consolidated company level which represents the Company’s sole operating and reporting segment. The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually during the fourthfirst quarter of the calendar year. For 2020, and 2019, the Company used the quantitative approach to perform its annual goodwill impairment test. The Company’s fair value exceeded the carrying value of its net assets and, accordingly, goodwill was not impaired.2022.

A key assumption in the Company’s impairment test include future sales, for which the Company used three scenarios with compounded annual growth rates (“CAGR”) over a 5-year period ranging from 8% to 17%. The impact of COVID-19 on DIRTT’s Distribution Partners or the Company’s operations 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 ability to accurately use historical sales trends and cash flows to forecast future results leading to additional estimation uncertainty with respect to impairment testing. The cost structure used in the impairment test was kept in line with current periods andThese costs were included considerations to manage growth. The Company assumed reductions to operating costs of 5% applied from 2022 in the low case scenario. Discounted future cash flows are determined by applying a discount rate of 12% based on the Company’s estimated weighted average cost of capital.sales:

DIRTT Timber

During 2018, management decided to shift from the early stage development of its DIRTT Timber market to a commercialized approach focused on large, standalone timber projects and as a pull-through for other DIRTT solutions. Management concluded that this strategy required significantly less timber capacity than currently exists and therefore took steps to right-size its timber capacity by the end of 2018. Management determined these decisions to be an indicator of impairment of the assets of the DIRTT Timber solution line. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimated the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset group and determined the undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying value of the assets.

To determine the impairment of the DIRTT Timber assets, the net book value of the assets was evaluated against the fair value of the assets. The fair value of the DIRTT Timber assets reflects current projected sales for timber projects on a standalone basis and the pull-through impact to other DIRTT solutions. In its evaluation, management determined it was unable to reliably quantify the pull-through impact of timber on other DIRTT solutions. The equipment related to the timber market was custom built for DIRTT and there is no active market for resale. Therefore, the fair value was determined to be management’s estimate of scrap value for the specialized assets and an estimated resale value for less specialized assets that cannot be redeployed for DIRTT’s other solutions. Management estimated the expected resale values based on the current market and on experience of management in the industry. The fair value of the DIRTT Timber assets was estimated to be $1.1 million. This assessment resulted in an impairment charge of $6.1 million during 2018.

Leasehold and other assets

At December 31, 2018, the Company recognized a lease exit liability of $0.6 million related to certain contracts, which is net of $1.0 million of estimated recoveries from subleases. These leases were considered impaired as the costs of meeting lease obligations exceeded the economic benefits expected to be received. The lease exit liability represents the present value of the difference between the minimum future lease payments the Company is obligated to make under the non-cancellable operating lease contract and any estimated sublease recoveries. Additionally, leasehold and other assets with a carrying value of $2.0 million at December 31, 2018, was expensed as there was no future value attributable to these assets or market for resale  

6. LEASES

The Company leases office and factory space under various operating leases. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company gives consideration to instruments with similar characteristics when calculating its incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s operating leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 2523 years. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

The weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate at December 31, 20202022 were 1413 years (2019(2021 - 614 years) and 5.1% (2019 - 4.8%4.9% (2021 – 5.2%), respectively.

In September 2020, the Company commenced the 15 year lease associated with the construction of a new combined tile and millwork facility in Rock Hill, South Carolina (“South Carolina Plant”). The lease may be extended for up to two 5 year periods. Undiscounted rent obligations associated with this lease are $28.1 million which includes the initial 15 year term and two 5 year extensions. The rent obligations have been discounted at a rate of 5.5% to determine the lease liability. 

In December 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement with an initial term of 8 years and one 5 year extension associated with a new DIRTT Experience Center (“DXC”) in Dallas, Texas. Undiscounted rent obligations associated with this lease are $6.7 million. The rent obligations have been discounted at a rate of 4.75% to determine the lease liability. 

7.8. TRADE AND ACCRUED RECEIVABLES 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- lookingforward-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 December 31, 2020,2022, approximately 84%77% 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.entities.

In addition, and where possible, we collect a 50%50% deposit on sales, excluding government and certain other clients.

Due to the uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the disruption to businesses in North America, the overall credit quality of certain receivables declined at March 31, 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 quarter ended March 31, 2020. During 2020, $0.12021, $0.5 million of receivables werefor a specific customer balance was written off (2019 - $nil) and no further adjustmentsoff. No change to our expected credit losses wereloss was required at December 31, 2020. 2022.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.

As at December 31, 2020,2022, the Company had $16.2$0.1 million of assets in progress of completion primarily related to equipment procured for our South Carolina Plant, which were excluded from assets subject to depreciation (December 31, 20192021$8.5$2.2 million).

10.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, depreciation expense included $1.1 million of incremental depreciation on the acceleration of useful lives associated with the closing of the Phoenix Facility. Refer to Note 6, Reorganization.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has incurred negative cash flows from operations and accordingly management determined that this was an indicator of property, plant and equipment assets. The Company estimated the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the property, plant and equipment assets. To estimate the undiscounted cashflows of the reporting unit, the Company applied the income approach. Sales and cost projections were based on assumptions driven by current economic conditions. The Company considered various scenarios and probability-weighted the likelihood of each scenario in determining the reporting unit’s fair value. The average compounded annual growth rate of revenues was 5%- 10%. Other key assumptions used in the quantitative assessment of the reporting unit’s undiscounted cashflows was terminal growth rate of 2%. The Company estimated the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the property, plant and equipment assets. The results of the test indicated that the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying values of property, plant and equipment, therefore, no impairment charge was required at December 31, 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, goodwill was impaired (see Note 12) and determined that this was an indicator of impairment for property, plant and equipment. The Company estimated the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the property, plant and equipment assets using the same methodology and assumptions included in the goodwill impairment test (see Note 12). The results of the test indicated that the fair value exceeded the carrying values of property, plant and equipment, therefore, no impairment charge was required at December 31, 2021.

In 2021, the Company’s goodwill was assessed at the consolidated company level which represents the Company’s sole operating and reporting unit. The Company tested its goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the calendar year. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its financial results in 2021, the Company determined it was necessary to use the quantitative approach to perform its goodwill impairment test. The quantitative impairment test requires estimates to determine the fair value of the reporting unit, as such, required the Company to make significant assumptions and judgments.

To estimate the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company applied the income approach using discounted future cash flows. Sales and cost projections were based on assumptions driven by current economic conditions. Due to the uncertainty around the future impact of COVID-19 at that time, its projections considered various scenarios and the Company probability-weighted the likelihood of each scenario in determining the reporting unit’s fair value. The average compounded annual growth rate of revenues was 10% and the Company assumed a 10% - 15% annualized reduction in operating costs in the model. Other key assumptions used in the quantitative assessment of the reporting unit’s goodwill were the application of a discount rate of 13% and a terminal growth rate of 2%.

Based on its testing, the fair value of goodwill did not exceed the recoverable amount and, accordingly, the entire $1.4 million balance of goodwill was impaired as at December 31, 2021. The impairment charge on goodwill has been separately classified on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2021.

13. LONG-TERM DEBT           

Revolving Credit Facility

On July 19, 2019, the Company entered into a C$50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Previous RBC Facility”) with the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”). The Previous RBC Facility had a three-year term and could be extended for up to two additional years at the Company’s option. Interest was calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate with no adjustment, or the bankers’ acceptance rate plus 125 basis points. The Previous RBC Facility was subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15:1 and a maximum debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.0:1 (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, plus or minus extraordinary or unusual non-recurring revenue or expenses) calculated on a trailing four quarter basis (the “Covenants”).


During the second quarter of 2020, the Company entered into a letter agreement with RBC pursuant to which the Covenants were waived for the June 30 and September 30, 2020 quarterly measurement dates (the "Covenant Holiday Period"). In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company entered into a letter agreement with RBC pursuant to which the Covenants were waived for the December 31, 2020 quarterly measurement date (the "Covenant Holiday Period Extension"). During the Covenant Holiday Period and the Covenant Holiday Period Extension, the Company was able to borrow to a maximum of 75% of eligible accounts receivable and 25% of eligible inventory, less priority payables, subject to an aggregate limit of $50.0 million including amounts borrowed under the Leasing Facilities. During the Covenant Holiday Period and the Covenant Holiday Period Extension, the Company was required to maintain a cash balance of C$10.0 million if no loans were drawn under the facility, have Adjusted EBITDA of not less than a loss of $7.0, $16.5 million and $3.0 million for the twelve month periods ended June 30, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, and make capital expenditures of no more than $10.7 million during the Covenant Holiday Period and $8.8 million during the Covenant Holiday Period Extension. As at December 31, 2020, the Previous RBC Facility was undrawn and the available borrowing base was $10.6 million. The Company was in compliance with the requirements of the covenant holiday as at December 31, 2020.

On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into a C$25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with RBC (the “New RBC Facility”), replacing the Previous RBC Facility. Under the New RBC Facility, the Company is able to borrow up to a maximum of 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 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims (the “Borrowing Base”). Under the new RBC FacilityAt December 31, 2022, available borrowings wouldare C$7.2 million ($5.3 million), of which no amounts have been C$9.3 million ($7.3 million) at December 31, 2020 if the New RBC Facility was in place.drawn. Interest is calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 30 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 155 basis points. Under the New RBC Facility, if the Aggregate Excess Availability, defined as the Borrowing Base less any loan advances or letters of credit or guarantee and if undrawn including unrestricted cash, is less than C$5.0 million, the Company is subject to a FCCR covenant of 1.10:1 on a trailing twelve month basis. Additionally, if the FCCR has been above 1.10:1 for the 3 immediately consecutivepreceding months, the Company is required to maintain a reserve account equal to the aggregate of one-year of payments on the Leasing Facilities (defined below). The Company anticipatesdid not meetingmeet the 3 month FCCR requirement forduring the end of the firstfourth quarter of 20212022 which would result in requiring $1.1the restriction of $3.4 million of cash being one-year payments on the Leasing Facilities, to be restricted. This amount could increase as additional amounts are drawn on the Leasing Facilities.at December 31, 2022. Should an event of default occur or the Aggregate Excess Availability be less than C$6.25 million for 5 consecutive business days, the Company would enter a cash dominion period whereby the Company’s bank accounts would be blocked by RBC and daily balances will set-off any borrowings and any remaining amounts made available to the Company.

Leasing Facilities

During 2020,On February 9, 2023, the Company entered intoextended the RBC Facility (the “Extended RBC Facility”). The Extended RBC Facility has an borrowing base of C$15 million and a one year term. Interest is calculated as at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 200 basis points. Under the Extended RBC Facility, until such time that the trailing twelve month FCCR is above 1.25 for three consecutive months, a cash balance equivalent to 1-years worth of Leasing Facilities payments must be maintained.

Leasing Facilities

The Company has a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada (the “Canada Leasing Facility”) and a $16.0$14.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States (the “U.S. Leasing Facility” and, together with the Canada Leasing Facility, the “Leasing Facilities”) with RBC, and one of its affiliates, which are available for equipment expenditures and certain equipment expenditures already incurred. Pursuant to the Covenant Holiday Period Extension, the equipment leasing facility in the United States was reduced from US$16 million to US$14 million and the revolving Lease Facilities were amended to be amortizing facilities.  The Leasing Facilities, respectively, have seven and five-year terms and bear interest at 4.25%4.25% and 4.50%5.59%. The U.S. leasing facilityLeasing Facility is amortized over a six-year term and extendibleextendable at the Company’s option for an additional year.

During 2020,For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance (C$6.6allowances of $13.6 million or $5.2 million) against Deferred Tax Assetsdeferred tax assets (“DTAs”) in its Canadian entityincurred during the year as the Company’s Canadian entityCompany has experienced cumulative losses in recent years.years (December 31, 2021 –$12.0 million). Although earnings were positive in 2019, ongoing near termnear-term uncertainties on the business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related decline in business activity impacted the Canadian entity’sCompany’s ability to generate earnings. Accordingly, it is not more likely than not that the Canadian entity’sCompany’s DTAs will be utilized in the near term.

The provincial corporate tax rate in Alberta, Canada was decreased on June 28, 2019 from 11.5% to 11% for the second half of 2019, and was scheduled to further reduce to 10% for 2020, 9% for 2021 and 8% thereafter. As part of Alberta’s Recovery Plan, the decrease in provincial tax rates was accelerated such that the provincial corporate tax rate is 8% effective July 1, 2020. As a result of this rate change, DIRTT reduced its DTAs by $0.9 million with a corresponding deferred income tax expense recorded in the second quarter of 2019.    

The amount shown on the balance sheet as deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the net differences between the tax basis and book carrying values on the Company’s balance sheet at enacted tax rates.

On an annual basis the Company and its subsidiaries file tax returns in Canada and various foreign jurisdictions. In Canada, the Company’s federal and provincial tax returns for the years 20172019 to 20192021 remain subject to examination by taxation authorities. In the United States, both the federal and state tax returns filed for the years 20162018 to 20192021 remain subject to examination by the taxation authorities.

15.16. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In May 2020, shareholders approved the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 LTIP”) at the annual and special meeting of shareholders. The 2020 LTIP gives the Company the ability to award options, share appreciation rights, restricted share units, restricted shares, dividend equivalent rights granted in connection with restricted share units, vested share awards, and other share-based awards and cash awards to eligible employees, officers, consultants and directors of the Company and its affiliates. In accordance with the 2020 LTIP, the sum of (i) 5,850,000 common shares plus (ii) the number of common shares subject to stock options previously granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) that, following May 22, 2020, expire or are cancelledcanceled or terminated without having been exercised in full have been reserved for issuance under the 2020 LTIP. Upon vesting of certain LTIP awards, the Company may withhold and sell shares as a means of meeting DIRTT’s tax withholding requirements in respect of the withholding tax remittances required in respect of award holders. To the extent the fair value of the withheld shares upon vesting exceeds the grant date fair value of the instrument, the excess amount is credited to retained earnings or deficit.

The change of 100% of the Board of Directors combined with the prior Board declining to endorse the incoming board constituted a Change of a Control, under the terms of the 2020 LTIP, as of April 26, 2022. As at December 31, 2020, 4,085,093 common shares were available for issuancea result, all outstanding and unvested LTIP awards granted under the 2020 LTIP.    LTIP plan for any holder terminated without Cause within twelve (12) months following the Change of Control vested immediately upon such termination.

The Company also maintains the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Deferred Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors pursuant to which DSUsdeferred share units ("DSUs") are granted to the Company’s non-employee directors. DSUs are settled solely in cash.

Prior to the approval of the 2020 LTIP, the Company granted awards of options under the Stock Option Plan and awards of PSUsperformance share units (“PSUs”) under the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Performance Share Unit Plan (the “PSU Plan”). Following the approval of the 2020 LTIP, no further awards will be made under either the Stock Option Plan or the PSU Plan, but both remain in place to govern the terms of any awards that were granted pursuant to such plans and remain outstanding.outstanding

The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted in 2022 was C$2.37 (2021 – C$2.78) which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on their respective grant dates.

Restricted share units (performance-based vesting)

During 2022 and 2021, restricted share units were granted to executives with service and performance-based conditions for vesting (the “PRSUs”). If the Company’s share price increases to certain Adjusted EBITDA, total shareholder return, or revenue growth relatedvalues for 20 consecutive trading days, as outlined below, a percentage of the PRSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period. All PRSUs awarded in 2020 were awarded to a single executive who forfeited those awards in January 2022 upon departure from the Company.

The grant date fair value of the 2022 and 2021 PRSUs were valued using the Monte Carlo valuation method and determined to have a weighted average grant date fair value of C$1.87 and C$3.27, respectively.

If the Company’s share price increases to C$3.00 for 20 consecutive trading days within three years of the grant date, then 50% (100,000) of the Performance RSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period. If the Company’s share price increases to C$4.00 for 20 consecutive trading days within three years of the grant date, 100% (200,000) of the Performance RSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period. If the Company’s share price increases to C$6.00 for 20 consecutive trading days within three years of the grant date, then 150% (300,000) of the Performance RSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period. The grant date fair value of the Performance RSUs were valued using the Monte Carlo valuation method and determined to have a weighted average grant date fair value of C$1.70.

Options

In 2018, the Company allowed certain vested stock options to be surrendered for cash. On the date of modification, the fair value of the liability of options eligible for cash surrender of $1.2 million was reclassified on the balance sheet from shareholders’ equity to other liabilities and a $0.2 million was expensed to adjust the liability to the fair value at year-end, and an additional $0.5 million was charged back to additional paid-in capital as, for certain stock options, the cumulative expense calculated was lower than the grant date fair value of the original equity awards. During 2018, $1.8 million of stock options were surrendered for cash and at December 31, 2018 the Company had a liability of $1.8 million in other liabilities for the remaining stock options.

In 2019, $1.8 million was expensed to adjust the liability to fair value, and an additional $0.4 million was charged back to paid-in capital as, for certain stock options, the cumulative expense calculated was lower that the grant date fair value of the original equity awards. During the year, $3.6 million of stock options were surrendered for cash. On October 9, 2019, following the listing of its common shares on Nasdaq, the Company ceased cash-settlement of stock options and the associated liability accounting for stock options.

In 2018, 1,725,000 stock options were granted to an executive with performance conditions for vesting. For 825,000 stock options, vesting is upon an increase in the Company’s share price to C$13.26, and for 900,000 stock options, vesting is upon an increase in the Company’s share price to C$19.89. These options were valued using the Monte Carlo valuation method and determined to have a weighted average grant fair value of C$2.14 on original grant. These awards were accounted for at the fair value attributable to the vesting period until October 9, 2019 when these were reclassified to equity accounting and were re-valued at a weighted average fair value of C$0.83.

The stock options granted had a weighted average grant date fair value of C$2.40 in 2019 and C$2.13 in 2018, estimated usingDilutive instruments

For the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions foryear ended December 31, 2019 and 2018: a 3.5 year expected life for all periods, 1.6% risk-free interest rate (2018 – 2.2%); a 4.2% expected forfeitures rate (2018 – 3.8%); and 39.2% expected volatility (2018 – 42.0%). These awards were accounted for using the fair value approach as they were accounted for as liabilities until October 9, 2019 when the Company ceased allowing cash surrenders of stock options. On October 9, 2019, the stock options had


a weighted average fair value of C$1.32 estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: a 2.9 year expected life, 1.4% risk-free interest rate; and 39.2% expected volatility.

21.20. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We have institutedThe Company is pursuing multiple U.S. federal and Canadian lawsuits against ourits former founders, Mogens Smed and Barrie Loberg, their new company Falkbuilt Ltd. (“Falkbuilt”), and several other individuals, as described below.  We believe that Smedrelated individual and Loberg conspired to misappropriate DIRTT’s confidential and proprietary information and to compete with DIRTT both before and after their departures from DIRTT, have violated theircorporate defendants for violations of fiduciary duties and non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in their DIRTT executive employment agreements, and encouraged other former DIRTT employees to similarly misappropriatethe misappropriation of DIRTT’s confidential and proprietary information. In addition, we believe that Falkbuilt, Smed and Loberg, and other individuals have violatedinformation in violation of numerous Canadian and U.S. state,and federal laws pertaining to the protection of DIRTT’s trade secrets and proprietary information and the prevention of false advertising and deceptive trade practices inpractices.

As of December 31, 2022, the subsequent establishment of Falkbuilt. We believe that certain of theCompany’s litigation against Falkbuilt, “Branches” have also participated in related unlawful activities.  

On May 9, 2019, we filed a claim in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta againstMessrs. Smed and Loberg, and their new companies,associates was comprised of four main lawsuits: (i) an action in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench instituted on May 9, 2019 against Falkbuilt, Messrs. Smed and 2179086 Alberta Ltd. (operating in its own right or as Echo), as well asLoberg, and several departedother former DIRTT employees for, among other things, breachalleging breaches of non-competition, non-solicitationrestrictive covenants, fiduciary duties, and duties of loyalty, fidelity and confidentiality, obligations; breachand the misappropriation of fiduciary duties;DIRTT’s confidential information (the “Canadian Non-Compete Case”); (ii) an action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Utah instituted on December 11, 2019 against Falkbuilt, Smed, and copyright infringement. We are seeking, among other things,individual and corporate defendants alleging misappropriation of DIRTT’s confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information (the “Utah Misappropriation Case”); and (iii) an order stoppingaction in the defendants from unlawfully competing with us, and paymentU.S. District Court for the Northern District of lost revenue and damages.Texas instituted on June 24, 2021 alleging that Falkbuilt has filed a counterclaim against usunlawfully used DIRTT’s confidential information in the United States and our CEO Kevin O’Meara alleging, among other things, breach of contractual obligations and defamation, and seeking damages. We believe that Falkbuilt’s lawsuit against us and our CEO is without merit and is part ofintentionally caused confusion in the United States in an attempt to obfuscatesteal customers, opportunities, and business intelligence, with the clear violationsaim of contract and law by Smed, Loberg, and Falkbuilt.establishing a competing business in the United States market (the “Texas Unfair Competition Case”). DIRTT intends to pursue the cases vigorously.

On November 5, 2019, Falkbuilt also filed a lawsuit against usthe Company on November 5, 2019 in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, alleging that we haveDIRTT has misappropriated and misused their alleged proprietary information in furtherance of our ownDIRTT’s product development. Falkbuilt seeks monetary relief and an interim, interlocutory and permanent injunction of ourDIRTT’s alleged use of the alleged proprietary information. We believeThe Company believes that the suit is without merit and was filed primarily in responsean application for summary judgment to our initiation of litigation against Smed, Loberg, and Falkbuilt.dismiss Falkbuilt’s claim.

On December 11, 2019, we filed a claim in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah against Falkbuilt and other individuals to restrain them from misappropriating our confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information, and using that information to advance Falkbuilt's U.S. business to our detriment. We subsequently amended our claim to add Smed as an individual defendant, and to add claims that Falkbuilt and Smed have engaged in false advertising in violation of the United States Lanham Act, the Colorado Consumer Protection Act, and the Ohio Deceptive Trade Practices Act by misrepresenting the nature and character of Falkbuilt’s goods and service, by drawing false comparisons between DIRTT’s products and Falkbuilt’s products, by repeatedly and falsely representing an association or affiliation with DIRTT and co-opting DIRTT’s brand and reputation, and passing


off Falkbuilt as “the new DIRTT” and “DIRTT 2.0”. On February 5, 2020, Falkbuilt filed a counterclaim against us alleging defamation and intentional interference with economic relations.

On March 12, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah issued an order granting DIRTT’s motion for a preliminary injunction to preserve the status quo, which preliminary injunction is binding on the U.S. defendants and all then-current and future Falkbuilt “Branches” in the United States. The preliminary injunction (i) enjoins the U.S. defendants and the Falkbuilt “Branches” from using, relying upon, disclosing, disseminating, deleting or disposing of any of DIRTT’s confidential or proprietary information in their possession, custody or control, and (ii) remains in effect until such time as it is modified or vacated by the court.  

On August 6, 2020, we filed a federal patent infringement lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Falkbuilt on the basis that its "Echo Dome" app infringes certain of DIRTT’s patents relating to our proprietary ICE Software, which patents list Mr. Logerg as one of the inventors. We are seeking, among other things, an order enjoining Falkbuilt from infringing our patents and damages for past or continuing infringement.

No amounts are accrued for the above legal proceedings.

22. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS75

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020.2022. Based upon their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting; Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting FirmReporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO framework) to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Management believes that the COSO framework is a suitable framework for its evaluation of financial reporting because it is free from bias, permits reasonably consistent qualitative and quantitative measurements of our internal control over financial reporting, is sufficiently complete so that those relevant factors that would alter a conclusion about the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting are not omitted and is relevant to an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting.

Based on its evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, our management concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2020,2022, based on those criteria.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2020,2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
