2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, the Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2023,2024, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 20232024 and 2022.2023. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2022,2023, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 20222023 and 20212022 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20222023 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company as filed with the SEC and applicable securities commission or similar regulatory authorities in Canada. As described in Note 6, no new accounting standards were adopted by the Company during the quarter.

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 Environmental Solutions Ltd. and its subsidiary. All intercompany balances, income and expenses, unrealized gains and losses and dividends resulting from intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

9


Basis of measurement

These Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments, assets held for sale and certain components of stock-based compensation that are measured at fair value. Historical cost is

8


generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The Company’s quarterly tax provision is based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate.

Seasonality

Sales of the Company’s products are driven by consumer and industrial demand for interior construction solutions. The timing of customer’scustomers’ construction projects can be influenced by a number of factors including the prevailing economic climate and weather.

 

3. LIQUIDITYADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”) further disaggregated information on an entity’s tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis with an option of retrospective application. The Company has been negatively impactedis evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

Although there are several other new accounting standards issued or proposed by the effect 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,FASB, which have resulted in a significant usage of cash in recent periods which has been funded through the Debentures and Leasing Facilities entered into in prior years (refer to Note 9). As at March 31, 2023, the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had $8.1 million of cashor will have a material impact on hand and C$its Financial Statements.

 million ($

5.2 million) of available borrowings (December 31, 2022 - $10.8 million and C$7.2 million ($5.3 million) of available borrowings). The Company’s cash position benefited from the receipt of $5.0 million of government subsidies during the quarter (refer to Note 4).Workforce Reductions

We have implemented a number of restructuring initiatives to create a reduced cost structure moving forward (refer to Note 5) and have implemented multiple price increases during the past 18 months 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 have been 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. In April 2023, as a result of this evaluation, we entered into an agreement with Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (refer to Note 16). Second, we have certain properties that are currently owned or leased that we are evaluating for potential sale and lease back or sublease arrangements. We do not intend to vacate these premises as they still serve a valuable aspect of our value proposition, but these types of arrangements would provide us with either a one-time cash payment, or offset rent expense in the near term. During March 2023, we entered into an agreement to sublease our Dallas DIRTT Experience Center ("DXC") to one of our Construction Partners in that region. Under the sublease agreement, the subtenant will assume responsibility for the monthly rent, utilities, maintenance, taxes and other costs from April 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024, and provide annualized savings of approximately $1 million. We are continuing to evaluate other properties and expect these strategic initiatives to result in positive cash inflows in 2023. As these transactions are awaiting finalization, we completed a Private Placement (as defined herein) of common shares in November 2022, supported by significant shareholders and directors and officers of the Company to bridge cash requirements before the completion and closing of the noted strategic transactions.

We have assessed the Company’s liquidity position as at March 31, 2023 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 customer demand or significant inflationary pressure on raw materials and 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.

The impact 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

9


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 sell 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 three months ended March 31, 2023, ora review of our costs resulted in the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, 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 Actdecision 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 decline 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 three quarters of 2021 and filed a claim for $7.3 million in payroll tax credits ($7.1 million net of expenses). As of March 31, 2023, $4.8 million of these credits (plus an additional $0.2 million of interest) have been received, leaving a balance of $2.5 million included in other receivables on the balance sheet.

5. REORGANIZATION

During the year ended December 31, 2022, and continuing into 2023, the Company undertookeliminate 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. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company incurred $1.0 million of accelerated depreciation, recorded in cost of sales, associated with the closure of the Phoenix Facility. 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. During the first quarter of March 31, 2023, we continued to review costs and reduced headcount.positions. These actions resulted in the Company incurring certain one-time termination benefits and recruitment costs. There were no restructuring costs associated with workforce reductions in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Temporary Suspension of Operations and Subsequent Closure at Rock Hill, South Carolina (the "Rock“Rock Hill Facility"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. Costs associated with this idle facility, included in cost of sales, were $0.40.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023.2024 (2023 – $0.4 million).

10On September 27, 2023, the Company decided to permanently close the Rock Hill Facility. Certain assets, including manufacturing equipment, which met held-for-sale criteria at that time were reclassified from property, plant and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $1.0 million of the assets held for sale were sold. At March 31, 2024, we determined to reduce the assets held for sale balance from $0.5 million to $nil, resulting in a $0.5 million impairment charge for the quarter. While we will continue to pursue a sale of the assets, we were not able to determine the likelihood of recoverability based on the current market interest in the equipment.

5. GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On February 15, 2024, the Company commenced a substantial issuer bid and tender offer (the “Issuer Bid”) pursuant to which the Company offered to repurchase for cancellation: (i) up to C$6.0 million principal amount of its issued and outstanding January Debentures (as defined in Note 8) at a purchase price of C$720 per C$1,000 principal amount of January Debentures, and (ii) up to C$9.0 million principal amount of its issued and outstanding December Debentures (as defined in Note 8), at a purchase price of C$600 per C$1,000 principal amount of December Debentures.

C$4.7 million ($3.5 million) aggregate principal amount of the January Debentures and C$5.8 million ($4.3 million) aggregate principal amount of December Debentures were validly deposited and not withdrawn at the expiration of the Issuer Bid on March 22, 2024, representing approximately 11.66% of the January Debentures and 16.50% of the December Debentures issued and outstanding at that time. The Company took up all the Debentures (as defined in Note 8) tendered pursuant to the Issuer Bid for aggregate consideration of C$7.0 million ($5.2 million) (comprised of C$6.9 million ($5.1 million) repayment on principal and interest of C$0.1 million ($0.1 million)).

In accordance with GAAP, it was determined that the C$6.9 million ($5.1 million) repayment on principal triggered an extinguishment of debt. The gain on extinguishment of C$3.9 million ($2.9 million) was calculated as the difference between the repayment and the net carrying value of the extinguished principal less unamortized issuance costs of C$0.4 million ($0.2 million) (refer to Note 8).

6. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company has not adopted any new accounting standards effective January 1, 2023. Although there are several 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.

7. TRADE AND ACCRUED RECEIVABLES

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not require collateral and typically 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-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 consolidated 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 wellbeingwell-being of our customers. In addition, we acquired trade credit insurance effective April 1, 2020. At March 31, 2023,2024, approximately 8597% of our trade accounts receivable are insured, relating to accounts receivablesreceivable from counterparties deemed creditworthy by the insurer and excluding accounts receivable from government entities.

11


Our trade balances are spread over a broad Construction Partner base, which is geographically dispersed. For the three months ended March 31, 20232024, one Construction Partner accounted for greater than 10% of revenue (none(one Construction Partner for the three months ended March 31, 2022)2023). In addition, and where possible, we collect a 50% deposit on sales, excluding government and certain other clients.

Revolving Credit Facility

On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement governing a C$25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), as lender (the “RBC Facility”). Under the RBC Facility, the Company iswas 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 (i) 75% of the book value of eligible inventory and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims (the “Borrowing Base”). Interest iswas 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 RBC Facility, if the “Aggregate Excess Availability”,Availability,” (defined as the Borrowing Base less any loan advances or letters of credit or guarantee and if undrawn including unrestricted cash), iswas less than C$5.0 million, the Company is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) covenant of 1.10:1 on a trailing twelve-month basis. Additionally, if the FCCR hashad been below 1.10:1 for the three immediately preceding months, the Company iswas required to maintain a reserve account equal to the aggregate of one year of payments on outstanding loans on the Leasing Facilities (defined below). Should an event of default occurhave occurred or the Aggregate Excess Availability bebeen less than C$6.25 million for five consecutive business days, the Company would enterhave entered a cash dominion period whereby the Company’s bank accounts would behave been blocked by RBC and daily balances willwould have offset 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 hashad a borrowing base of C$15 million and a one yearone-year term. Interest iswas calculated as at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"(“Term SOFR”) plus 200 basis points plus the Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in the amended loan agreement governing the Extended RBC Facility). Under the Extended RBC Facility, if the trailing twelve month FCCR iswas not above 1.25 for three consecutive months, a cash balance equivalent to one-year'sone-year’s worth of Leasing Facilities payments mustwas required to be maintained. Effective October 2023, inventory was scoped out of the Borrowing Base.

On February 9, 2024, the Company extended the Extended RBC Facility (the “Second Extended RBC Facility”). The Second Extended RBC Facility is subject to the borrowing base calculation to a maximum of C$15 million and a one-year term. Interest is calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA or Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, in each case plus 200 basis points. At March 31, 2023,2024, available borrowings are C$7.010.1 million ($5.28.5 million) (December 31, 2023 – C$13.6 million ($10.3 million) of available borrowings), calculated in the same manner as the RBC facilityFacility described above, of which no amounts have been drawn. The Company did not meetSecond Extended RBC Facility removed the three-month FCCR requirement

Leasing Facilities

The Company has a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada (the “Canada Leasing Facility”) of which C$4.4 million ($3.33.4 million) has been drawn and C$3.8 million ($2.9 million) has been repaid, and a $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, of which $13.3 million has been drawn each with RBC, and one of its affiliates, which are available for equipment expendituresrepaid. The Canada Leasing Facility has a seven-year term and

certain equipment expenditures already incurred. The Leasing Facilities, respectively, have seven and five-year terms and bear bears interest at 4.25% and .

10.9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In May 2020, shareholders approved the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 LTIP”). The 2020 LTIP replaced the predecessor incentive plans, being the Performance Share Unit Plan (“PSU Plan”) and the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (“Stock Option 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.

In May 2023, shareholders approved the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020“2023 LTIP”) at the annual and special meeting of shareholders. The 20202023 LTIP gives the Company the ability to award options, share appreciation rights, restricted share units, deferred 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 20202023 LTIP, the sum of (i) 5,850,00012,350,000 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, 2020,30, 2023, expire or are cancelled or terminated without having been exercised in full, have been reserved for issuance under the 20202023 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 a result, all outstanding and unvested LTIP awards granted under the 2020 LTIP for any holder terminated without Cause (as defined therein) within twelve months following the Change of Control vested immediately upon such termination.

The Company also maintainsDeferred share units (“DSUs”) have historically been granted to non-employee directors under the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Deferred Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors pursuant(as amended and restated, the “DSU Plan”) and settleable only in cash.

Restricted share units (time-based vesting)

Restricted share units that vest based on time have an aggregate time-based vesting period of three years and generally one-third of the RSUs vest every year over a three-year period from the date of grant (“RSUs”). At the end of a three-year term, the RSUs will be settled by way of the provision of cash or shares to employees (or a combination thereof), at the discretion of the Company. The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted in 20222024 was C$2.370.50, 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 values for 20 consecutive trading days, as outlined below, a percentage of the PRSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period. PRSUs awarded in 2020 were forfeited in January 2022 upon the departure of an executive 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.

15


Based on share price performance since the date of grant, none of the 2022 PRSUs and 66.7% of the 2021 PRSUs vested on March 1, 2024, but none of the 2022 PRSUs will vest upon completion of the three-year service period.

Share awards

DuringThere were no share awards granted or vested during the first quarter of 2022, certain executives were issued share awards in lieu of cash paid variable incentive compensation (“Share Awards”). These Share Awards vested upon grant. The fair value of the Share Awards granted was C$2024.2.40

($1.88), which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. In the first quarter of 2023, 36,254 Share Awards were issued to a consultant as compensation for services rendered. These Share Awards vested upon grant. The fair value of the Share Awards granted was C$0.49 ($0.34), which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date.

Performance share units

During the second quarter of 2023, certain executives were issued a strategic equity grant through Performance share units (“PSUs”). The performance period of the PSUs is from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026 with a cliff vesting term for December 31, 2026. 2,584,161 PSUs were granted and depending on the level of performance, the PSUs will vest 100%, 160% or 190% up to a maximum of 4,909,907 PSUs. Settlement will be made in the form of shares issued from treasury. The performance measures are a combination of Revenue and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and both targets have to be achieved. As of March 31, 2024, the fair value of these PSUs have been deemed to be nil based on the likelihood of achieving the targets compared to current results. During the third quarter of 2023, 738,553 PSUs with a $nil value were forfeited as a result of an executive departure and 1,845,608 PSUs with a $nil value are outstanding at March 31, 2024.

Deferred share units

Granted under the DSU Plan

The fair value of the DSU liability and the corresponding expense is charged to profit or loss at the grant date. Subsequently, at each reporting date between the grant date and settlement date, the fair value of the liability is remeasured with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss for the year.period. DSUs outstanding at March 31, 20232024 had a fair value of $0.70.6 million which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet (December 31, 20222023 –$0.5 million).

Granted under the 2023 LTIP

DSUs granted after May 30, 2023 (the “New DSUs”) will be settled by way of the provision of cash or shares (or a combination thereof) to the Directors, at the discretion of the Company. The Company intends to settle these DSUs through issuances of common shares. The weighted average fair value of the DSUs granted in 2024 was C$0.67 ($0.49), which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. New DSUs outstanding at March 31, 2024 had a fair value of $0.8 million which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet (December 31, 2023 $0.6 million).

The DIRTT solution segment derives revenues from customers by providing physical products and digital tools through our ICE software to create interior spaces for our customers across the commercial, healthcare, education and government industries.

The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the solution segment and decides how to allocate resources based on gross profit and net income (loss) that also is reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as consolidated gross profit and net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the solution segment or into other parts of the entity, such as to repay long-term debt.

Gross profit and net income (loss) are used to monitor budget versus actual results. The chief operating decision maker also uses net income (loss) in competitive analysis by benchmarking to DIRTT’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation. DIRTT has one reportable segment: Solutions. The solutions segment provides digital tools (access to ICE software) and physical products to create modular interior construction spaces for our customers.

DIRTT derives revenue in North America and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. The technology used in the customer arrangements is based on a single software platform that is deployed to, and implemented by, customers in a similar manner. DIRTT’s chief operating decision maker is the executive leadership team that includes the chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and the chief executive officer.

Compared to the fourth quarter, first quarter activity is lower, in line with seasonal demand patterns.commercial and government sectors.
Gross profit and gross profit margin for the quarter ended March 31, 20232024 was $14.6 million or 35.9% of revenue, an increase from $8.7 million or 23.7% of revenue, an increase of $5.4 million or 164% from $3.3 million or 8.6% of revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase in gross profit reflects price increases enacted and reductions made to our fixed cost structure during 2022. Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 included $1.1 million of accelerated depreciation and amortization arising from change in useful lives.

Our qualified leads being pursued with expected projectsDIRTT continues to experience pipeline growth as the U.S. economy saw above-trend quarterly GDP growth in the next twelve months was 969 asthird and fourth quarters of April 1, 2023, as compared2023. Our internal and external economic indicators imply continued growth for the twelve-month forward pipeline and the U.S. economy. Our healthcare segment has returned to 721 at January 1, 2023 and 395 as of January 1, 2022. The Company has increased its qualified leads as a resultgrowth due to several 2025 projects entering our twelve-month view of the implementation of our customer relationship management system, as well as improved communication and collaboration to our commercial organization.

Outlook

Through the first three months of 2023 we have seen continued weakening in economic conditions, especially in regions with concentrated salespipeline. Due to the technology and banking sectors. While our win rate has increased modestly year over year on a project basis, the average project dollar value has decreased 14.8% from $49,860 to $42,473 (whole dollars). We believe this is a result of tightening credit policies in response to rising inflation resulting in smaller order size. Further, these macroeconomic conditions, including layoffs in the technology sector, reduction in short-term needs for office space, and increasing interest rates impacting borrowings, certain larger projects that were planned for the first two quarters of 2023 have been deferred or canceled, resulting in muted growthinherently long sales cycle in our healthcare segment, this pipeline as of April 1, 2023.

In responsetends to the economic uncertainty and pipeline risk discussed above, we have taken a thoughtful look atexperience more volatility than our cost structure over the past three months. As discussed in our 2022 Form 10-K, we previously identified and took action to reduce annualized overhead costs by $5 million during 2023. Further, on May 8, 2023, the Company reduced its salaried workforce, resulting in annualized savings of $3.1 million. One-time costs associated with these reductions, to be incurred in the second quarter of 2023, are expected to be approximately $0.7 million.

It should be noted that we have experienced an increase in both our order pace and pipeline beginning in April, being awarded several large projects with Bechtel, Apache and Visa that are expected to deliver $10 to $15 million in aggregated revenue this year. In addition to the pipeline, we use the trailing 28 day order pace to gauge near term revenue and overall demand. As of May 5, 2023, the trailing 28 day order pace reached $16 million, the highest level it has been since mid fourth quarter of 2022. This is not a guarantee of future revenue run rate, but it is a positive indicator for us as it implies improved revenue performance in Q2 and Q3.other segments.

We have alsoare highly cognizant of two risks facing our business in the year ahead; continued uncertainty in the commercial real estate markets and the possibility of re-inflation in U.S. headline CPI. We are closely monitoring economic data tied to execute upon various non-dilutive initiatives designedtheir performance. To mitigate these risks, we are growing the pipeline and implementing strict cost controls to improve cash and liquidity. During March 2023, we entered into an arrangement with one ofpreserve our Construction Partners to sublease our Dallas DXC. Under the sublease agreement, the subtenant will assume responsibility for the monthly rent, utilities, maintenance, taxes and other costs from April 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024 and provide annualized cash savings of approximately $1 million. The quarter also benefited from the receipt of $4.8 million of the $7.3 million previously accrued government subsidy receivable associated with the ERC program. We anticipate receiving the remainder of during the the second quarter of 2023.margins.

Outlook

As we movecontinue into 2024, internal indicators and external economic indicators show a positive trajectory for the secondU.S. economy. Real GDP Growth in the third and fourth quarters of 2023 was above trend. Consumer spending, employment, and construction activity continue to improve from the post-COVID period.

However, we are highly cognizant of two risks facing our business in the year ahead. Firstly, the commercial office market has yet to bottom or return to expansionary activity. As a business with a small overall market penetration, we are focused on cost control and process efficiencies to position ourselves to gain market share. Secondly, we are closely monitoring our input costs amid the likelihood that the U.S. Federal Reserve will not return headline CPI to a 2% annualized rate. Additionally, a recent proposal by President Biden to triple tariffs on Chinese aluminum to 22.5% as well as to sanction Russian aluminum on the London Metal Exchange have created price inflation in our primary material input. If the increase in aluminum prices persists, we will have to consider the effect on our business, including consideration of increasing prices in response.

Even as we face these risks, we have positioned DIRTT over the past year to better withstand adverse economic conditions. Our gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 improved from 23.7% to 35.9%. Our Adjusted Gross Profit Margins have improved from 28.5% to 37.9% year-over-year. Furthermore, our operating expenses decreased by 21% compared to the first quarter of 2023. All these efforts yielded Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 6.5% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to (9.6)% in the first quarter of 2023.

With the Rights Offering completed in the first quarter of 2024, we have improved our cash balance from $8.1 million at March 31, 2023 to $39.0 million as of March 31, 2024. We have also deleveraged our balance sheet through the Issuer Bid, pursuant to which we repurchased C$10.5 million ($7.8 million) principal amount of our Debentures in March 2024.

As we continue to ramp up into our seasonally stronger quarters, we are evaluating certain properties that are currently owned for salepreparing to preserve our Adjusted Gross Profit Margins and lease back. While we do not currently intenddelivering on-time and in-full to vacate these premises as they still serve a valuable aspect of our value proposition, if we were to execute sale and lease back transactions, we would expect to receive a one-time cash payment, in exchange for future rent payments.

valued customers. We have meaningfully reduced our cost footprint and lowered our estimated revenue breakeven point. In tandem with the improved gross profit percentages and the cash initiatives discussed above, we believe we are positioned to weather the current macroeconomic conditions, while continuingwill continue to invest in our technologycommercial business and commercial organizations.pursue opportunities and partnerships to support our revenue growth.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with 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 Quarterly 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, reorganization expense,

22


one-time non-recurring charges or gains (such as gain on extinguishment of debt), and stock-based compensation. We remove the impact of all foreign exchange gain (loss) from Adjusted EBITDA. Foreign exchange gains and losses can vary significantly period-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 remove the impact of under-utilized capacity from gross 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.

Government subsidies, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, reorganization expense, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment expensescharges 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.

25


The following non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this Quarterly 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.

Revenue

Revenue reflects sales to our Construction Partners for resale to their clients and, in limited circumstances, our direct sales to clients. Our revenue is generally affected by the timing of when orders are executed, particularly large orders, which can add variability to our financial results and shift revenue between quarters.

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 of2023 as the fourth quarter of 2022, product sales reflect virtually all of these price increases. The first quarter of 2022 marked the transition2024 included a higher volume 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 2022 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.

The first quarter of the year is seasonally a lower demand quarter. Macroeconomic conditions, including layoffs in the tech sector and rising interest rates have had an impact on our pipeline, including one large project with a tech customer that originally scheduled forlarger projects than the first quarter of 2023 that was deferred indefinitely. Duringin the quarter endedcommercial sector, particularly in the retail and finance industries, as well as the government sector.

March 31, 2023, revenue was $36.7 million, a decrease of $1.6 million compared to the comparative period of $38.3 million.

Installation and other services revenue was $1.2$1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 20232024 compared to $0.8$1.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2022.2023. 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, andservices; 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 March 31, 2023,2024, we had 67 (December 31, 2022: 67)74 Construction Partners (March 31, 2023: 67; December 31, 2023: 72) servicing multiple locations. In March 2023, we announced the expansion of six of our DIRTT Construction Partners into new markets as we expand the reach of DIRTT products in North America.

We periodically analyze our revenue growth by vertical markets in the defined markets of commercial, healthcare, government and education. While all sectors have been challenged by the macroeconomic factors discussed previously, we are seeing increased growth in our commercial sector. We believe that an increase in new construction starts and the heightened need for adaptability and flexibility in the years after the COVID-19 pandemic have increased the demand for our products. We continue to see growth opportunities in the healthcare and education sectors and have restructured our sales leadership function, prioritizing oversight of these verticals.

The improvement in Adjusted Gross Profit was a result of improved product mix, a reduction onin fixed costs, and management of labor hours throughout the period and the impact of the price increases to offset the inflationary impacts on material costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalentsAs at March 31, 2023 totaled $8.12024, the Company had $39.0 million a decrease of $2.7 million from December 31, 2022. The decrease in cash primarily reflects the impact of $1.0 million cash used in operations, capital expenditures of $1.0 million and scheduled Leasing Facilities repayments of $0.6 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,C$10.1 million ($8.5 million) of available borrowings, compared to $24.7 million of cash on hand and C$13.6 million ($10.3 million) of available borrowings as described further below. In response, we implemented multiple initiatives in 2022 as well asat December 31, 2023. Through the first quarterthree months of 2023fiscal 2024, the Company generated $14.1 million of cash flow compared to reduce our overall fixed cost base and pricing actions to better recover the inflationary impacts to material, labor and transportation input costs. During the second halfa cash usage of 2022, we began to realize the benefits of these actions. In$2.7 million in the first quarterthree months of 2023, despite a 4% reduction in salesfiscal 2023. Cash generated included cash flows from the comparative quarter, cash utilized was $2.7 million compared toRights Offering of $21.3 million utilized in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Theand improved cash flow was drivenoperational results, offset by a combination of improved Adjusted EBITDA from the pricing initiatives and cost reduction initiatives as well as carefuldecrease in working capital management.of $10.6 million (mainly due to timing of payables and $5.2 million repayment of debt under the Issuer Bid).

We expecthave implemented multiple price increases to mitigate the benefitimpact of inflation on raw materials and improve liquidity during the 2022 and 2023past two years. These actions discussed above to continue to be realizedhave resulted in 2023 and beyond. While these actions, combined with our project pipeline are promising, we continue to see unpredictabilitya meaningful improvement in our pace of orders.

Accordingly, we are taking several actionsgross profit margins and higher net profit and have served to improvestabilize our balance sheet incash usage to operate the short term.

First, in the latter half of 2022, we determined our eligibilitybusiness. Gross profit for the ERC claim for the first three quarters of 2021 and filed a claim for $7.3 million in payroll tax credits ($7.1 million net of expenses). During the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $14.6 million, or 35.9%. The same period of 2023 generated gross profit of $8.7 million, or 23.7%.

Over the same period, we have executed upon several initiatives to improve liquidity. First, in May 2023, we received $5.0entered into an agreement with AWI resulting in the receipt of $12.8 million of the ERC claim comprising $4.8 million related to the claim and $0.2 million of interest. We expect to receive the remaining balancecash throughout 2023. Second, in the remainder of 2023.

Second, we have certain properties that are currently owned or leased that we are evaluating for sale and lease back, or sublease arrangements. We do not intend to vacate these premises as they still serve a valuable aspect of our value proposition, but these types of arrangements would provide us with either a one-time cash payment, or offset rent expense in the near term. During March 2023, we entered into an agreement to sublease our Dallas DIRTT Experience Center ("DXC")“DXC” to one of our Construction Partners in that region. Under the sublease agreement, the subtenant will assumehas assumed responsibility offor the monthly rent, utilities, maintenance, taxes and other monthly expenses fromcosts as of April 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024, providing us annualized savings of approximately $1 million. We are continuing to evaluate other properties for sale and leaseback or sublease opportunities, including our Rock Hill Facility, and expect these strategic initiatives to result in positive cash inflows in 2023

2024. Third, we are evaluating initiatives related to the usecompleted a private placement of ICE software by third parties to supplement the relatively small revenues we have previously recognized from our licensing8,667,449 common shares in November 2022 for aggregate gross proceeds of ICE software to$2.8 million (the “Private Placement”), with certain strategic partners for use in their businessessignificant shareholders and our related licensingdirectors and developer software support for these counterparties. On May 9, 2023, as a result of this evaluation and in exchange for a cash payment we entered into the Co-Ownership Agreement and Partial Patent Assignment Agreement with AWI for the partial assignment and co-ownership of a 50% interest in the rights, title and interest in certain intellectual property rights (including related patent rights) in a portionofficers of the ICE Software.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

DIRTT is pursuing multiple lawsuits against its former founders, Mogens Smed and Barrie Loberg, as well as Falkbuilt Ltd. ("Falkbuilt"and Falkbuilt, Inc. (collectively, “Falkbuilt”) and related individuals and corporations. DIRTT alleges breaches of fiduciary duties and non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, and the misappropriation of its confidential and proprietary information (in violation of numerous Canadian and U.S. state and federal laws pertaining to the protection of trade secrets and proprietary information and the prevention of false advertising and deceptive trade practices). Except as described below, there have been no material developments in the legal proceedings previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

DIRTT’s litigation against Falkbuilt, Messrs. Smed and Loberg, and their associates is comprised of three main lawsuits: (i) an action in the Alberta Court of Queen’sKing’s Bench institutedcommenced 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 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 other 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 action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas instituted on June 24, 2021 alleging that Falkbuilt has unlawfully used DIRTT’s 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”). DIRTT intends to pursue the cases vigorously.

We recently requested the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta to schedule the summary judgment application for our Canadian litigation. The court has proposed three potential dates in September 2025 and we expect to have the date finalized in the next several weeks. In the Canadian Non-Compete Case, on February 14, 2023, the Court of King'sKing’s Bench of Alberta granted DIRTT'sDIRTT’s application to schedule the hearing of its summary judgment application and dismissed Falkbuilt'sFalkbuilt’s cross-application to strike the summary judgment application. On April 5, 2023, the parties appeared before the Associate Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench of Alberta for a Case Management Conference. In the Conference, the Associate Chief Justice offered the parties an expedited six-week trial on both liability and damage issues, as an alternative to DIRTT proceeding withDIRTT’s. The is aggressively pursuing its summary judgment application. The parties are now endeavoring to establish the terms and conditionsapplication has been scheduled for the full trial process and developing a litigation plan for all remaining pre-trial steps. DIRTT anticipates that the full trial will proceed in early fall 2024.September 22-26, 2025.

In the Utah Misappropriation Case, on April 11, 2023, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit reversed the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Utah’s decision that Utah was an inconvenient forum for DIRTT'sDIRTT’s claims against Falkbuilt and others for the misappropriation of confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information. The Utah Court had previously, and erroneously, found that DIRTT'sDIRTT’s United States-based claims should be litigated in Canada. The Court of Appeals remanded the matter back to the Utah District Court. Falkbuilt filed motions to stay the Tenth Circuit decision pending its petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States. The Court of Appeals promptly denied the motion to stay. A similar motion subsequently filed with the Supreme Court of the United States on the same basis andwas also promptly denied. DIRTT intendsFallkbuilt also petitioned the Supreme Court to seek an immediate status conferenceaccept review, even after losing the stay motion, that petition was also denied in Utah now that the case has been returned to the Utah District Court.early October.

The Texas Unfair Competition Case was dismissed, without prejudice, in reliance upon the now-reversed decision in the Utah Misappropriation Case, described above. DIRTT appealed that decision, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit stayed the appeal pending the Tenth Circuit ruling at Falkbuilt's request. After prevailing in the Tenth Circuit, DIRTT asked Falkbuilt if it would, consistent with its prior representations, agree to remand the appeal to the Texas Court for disposition to Utah. Falkbuilt refused and DIRTT filed a Motion to Remand. The Court denied the Motion for Remand without prejudice and asked for full briefing. Prior to the argument, DIRTT sought leave to amend the Utah claims to include the Texas claims and notified the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals of the proposed amendment in Utah. Falkbuilt did not object to the amendment, but answered the Complaint and reserved the right to dismiss the Amended Complaint on grounds of inconvenient forum or international comity. The Amended Complaint not only presents the Texas claims in Utah but also updates DIRTT’s allegations as to events and damages incurred during the time the parties were participating in the appellate process. Argument proceeded on December 7, 2023 in New Orleans. The Tenth Circuit ultimately denied Falkbuilt’s appeal to have the Texas claims joined in Canada and those claims are in Utah. Notwithstanding all the prior litigation, Falkbuilt has again moved to stay the Utah case and move it, including the Texas claims, to Canada. DIRTT has vigorously opposed these motions and commenced discovery. Falkbuilt’s response to pending discovery are due shortly. Briefing on Falkbuilt’s motion to stay the case and renewed motion to move it to Canada will be fully briefed shortly. DIRTT is proceeding as though the Motions will be denied.

The Claim explains that as a result DIRTT has suffered loss and damages and seeks compensation for damages of approximately C$30 million.
