CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTSCautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 20202021 (this “Quarterly Report”) are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “outlook,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “can,” the negatives thereof, variations thereon and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based on certain estimates, beliefs, expectations and assumptions made in light of management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that may be appropriate.

Forward-looking statements necessarily involve unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Due to the risks, uncertainties and assumptions inherent in forward-looking information, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects include, but are not limited to, the severity and duration of theCOVID-19 coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related economic repercussions and other risks described under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and applicable securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada on February 24, 2021 (the “Annual Report on Form10-K”), and in this Quarterly Report under “Part II, Item 1A.

These risks are not exhaustive. Because of these risks and other uncertainties, our actual results, performance or achievement, or industry results, may be materially different from the anticipated or estimated results discussed in the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors nor can we assess the effects of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements. Our past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of our future results. You should not relyplace undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which represent our beliefs, assumptions and estimates only as of the dates on which they were made, as predictions of future events. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even though circumstances may change in the future, except as required under applicable securities laws. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

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 Form10-Q and Article 10 of RegulationS-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, 2020,2021, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019.2020. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2019,2020, 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, 20192020 and 20182019 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20192020 included in the Annual Report on Form10-K of the Company as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As described in Note 4, the Company adopted a new accounting standardsstandard relating to credit losses and cloud computingconvertible debentures effective January 1, 2020. The2021. Further information on this standard and the impact on the Company of these standards have beenthis standard is described in Note 4.

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 on consolidation.

Basis of measurement

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

is 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’s construction projects can be influenced by a number of factors including the prevailing economic climate and weather.

3.COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the coronavirus(“COVID-19”)COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization and has had extraordinary and rapid negative impacts on global societies, workplaces, economies and health systems. The impact ofCOVID-19 on DIRTT’s business in the near andmid-term is highly uncertain. Stay at home policies in multiple jurisdictions combined with resulting adverse economic conditions are expected tohave negatively impactimpacted construction activity in the near term at the very least,and consequently DIRTT’s business, with potential significant negative impacts extending to the endfirst half of 20202021 and beyond.

While many construction sites remain open and re-opening strategies have been implemented across North America, certain projects currently underway are experiencinghave experienced delays, impacted by both the implementation of social distancing and other safety related measures. Thesafety-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 notit possible to predict northe impact of such developments on the Company’s ability to achieve its impact on achievement of DIRTT’s business objectives.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty can be found in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. TheCOVID-19 outbreak has increased the complexity of estimates and assumptions used to prepare the interim condensedCompany’s consolidated financial statements particularly relatedand 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 at March 31, 2020 of expected credit losses and have increased the provision by $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2020 (see Note 5). Management will continuehas continued to reassess forward looking information and the impact ofCOVID-19 on our Distribution Partners in subsequent periods and thePartners. 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.

Liquidity risk

The Company may have lower cash flows from operating activities available to service debts due to lower sales or collections. Information about ourTo address this risk and the uncertainty around the timing of a recovery, the Company issued convertible unsecured subordinated debentures in January 2021, for net proceeds of $29.5 million, and has credit facilities is presentedavailable as described in Note 6.

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 provides the Company with a taxable subsidy in respect of a specific portion of wages paid to Canadian employees during qualifying periods extending from March 15, 2020 to June 5, 2021 (with an extension to September 25, 2021 having been announced in the 2021 Canadian federal budget), based on the percentage decline of the Company in certain of its Canadian-sourced revenues during each qualifying period. Pursuant to proposed changes announced in the 2021 Canadian federal budget, the Company may be required to repay all or a portion of the CEWS amounts for any qualifying period commencing after June 5, 2021 where the aggregate compensation for specified executives during the 2021 calendar year exceeds the aggregate compensation for specified executives during the 2019 calendar year. 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”). The CERS provides a taxable subsidy to cover eligible expenses for qualifying properties, subject to certain maximums, starting on September 27, 2020 to June 5, 2021 (with an extension to September 25, 2021 having been announced in the 2021 Canadian federal budget), 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.


Impairment

At March 31, 2020, our market capitalization was less than the book value of our equity which is an indicator of impairment. Management compared forecasted undiscounted cash flows to the book values ofnon-current assets and2021, management determined an impairment provision was not required as our outlook is consistent with the assumptions used in our impairment test undertaken at MarchDecember 31, 2020. The impact ofCOVID-19 on DIRTT’s Distribution Partners2021. In future periods, if our results or the Company’s operationsoutlook are less than our forecast, this conclusion may change cash flows and impact the recoverability of our assets. Furthermore,COVID-19 is a rapidly evolving situation and may have an impact on our abilityneed to accurately use historical sales trends and cash flows to forecast future results leading to additional estimation uncertainty with respect to impairment testing.

Deferred tax assets (“DTA”)

The Company’s ability to generate future taxable income may be impacted byCOVID-19 which creates additional uncertainty regarding the recoverability of DTAs. To the extent additional taxable losses are generated, this may present significant unfavorable evidence of recoverability of DTAs and require the Company to recognize valuation allowances against DTA.revisited.

4. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

On January 1,August 5, 2020, the Company adopted ASUFinancial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments2020-06, “DebtCredit Losses (Topic 326):Measurement of Credit LossesDebt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Financial InstrumentsEntity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)and (the subsequent amendments to the initial guidance issued in April 2019 within ASUNo. 2019-04, May 2019 within ASUNo. 2019-05 and February 2020 within ASUNo. 2020-02 (“ASU 326”“ASU”). These ASUs replaceThe ASU eliminates the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivablesbeneficial conversion andheld-to-maturity debt securities. cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also applies tooff-balance sheet credit exposures notamends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as insurance and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on Leases.derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accountingnew guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted earnings per share computation. The amendments in the ASU are effective foravailable-for-sale debt securities. fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company early adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Results for reporting periods beginning afterthis standard on January 1, 2021. The Company had 0 convertible debt instruments outstanding at December 31, 2020 and the convertible unsecured subordinated debentures issued in January 2021 have been evaluated under this new guidance and there were no other transitional impacts to consider.

Although there are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previouslyseveral 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 principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The adoption of this standard did notpronouncements has had or will have a significantmaterial 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 ASU2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract” which amends ASC350-40,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other –Internal-Use Software” (“ASU2018-15”). ASU2018-15 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 ASU2018-15. If both these conditions are not met, ASU2018-15 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 ASC350-40 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.Financial Statements.

5. TRADE 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-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. The majorityAt March 31, 2021, approximately 85% 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 when the trade credit insurance became effective.

Our trade balances are spread over a broad Distribution Partner base, which is geographically dispersed. NoFor the three months ended March 31, 2021, 1 Distribution Partner accounts(2020 – none) accounted for $3.6 million of revenue, which is greater than 10% of total revenue. In addition, and where possible, we collect a 50% deposit on sales, excluding government and certain other clients.

Due to the uncertainties associated with the COVID 19COVID-19 pandemic as well as the disruption to businesses in North America, the overall credit quality of certain receivables has 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. No adjustments to our expected credit losses were required at March 31, 2021. During the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, 0 receivables were written off. 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.

At March 31, 2021, available borrowings are C$9.4 million ($7.5 million), of which no amounts have been drawn. Interest is calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate with no adjustment,plus 30 basis points or at the bankers’ acceptance rateCanadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 125155 basis points. TheUnder the 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 minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) covenant of 1.15:1.10:1 andon a maximum debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.0:trailing twelve month basis. Additionally, if the FCCR has been below 1.10:1 (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization,non-cash stock-based compensation, plus or minus extraordinary or unusualnon-recurring revenue or expenses). As at March 31, 2020,for the RBC Facility was undrawn, 3 immediately preceding months,


the Company wasis required to maintain a reserve account equal to the aggregate of one year of payments on outstanding loans on the Leasing Facilities (defined below). The Company did not meet the 3 month FCCR requirement during the first quarter of 2021 which resulted in compliance with allrequiring the restriction of $1.1 million of cash. Should an event of default occur or the covenants of the RBC Facility and the available borrowing base wasAggregate Excess Availability be less than C$30.0 million.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020,6.25 million for 5 consecutive business days, the Company entered intowould 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

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. The Leasing Facilities, respectively, have seven and five-year terms and bear interest at 4.25% and 3.5%4.50%. The U.S. leasing facilityLeasing Facility is amortized over a six-year term and extendible at the Company’s option for an additional year.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company received $nil (twelve months ended December 31, 2020: $3.5 million) of cash consideration under the U.S. Leasing Facility. Subsequent to March 31, 2021, we completed a $7.2 milliondraw of ourU.S. Leasing Facility related to reimbursements for equipment purchases for our South Carolina plant, $1.4 million of the proceeds was deposited into restricted cash. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company received $nil (twelve months ended December 31, 2020 – C$3.6 million or $2.6 million) of cash consideration under the Canada Leasing Facility. The associated financial liabilities are shown on the consolidated balance sheet in current other liabilities and long-term debt and other liabilities.

Convertible Debentures

On January 25, 2021, the Company completed a C$35.0 million bought-deal financing of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) with a syndicate of underwriters. On January 29, 2021, the Company issued a further C$5.25 million of Debentures under the terms of an overallotment option granted to the underwriters. The Debentures will mature and be repayable on January 31, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Debentures accrue interest at the rate of 6.00% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of January and July of each year commencing on July 31, 2021.

The Debentures are convertible into common shares of DIRTT, at the option of the holder, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date specified by the Company for redemption of the Debentures at a conversion price of C$4.65 per common share, being a ratio of approximately 215.0538 common shares per C$1,000 principal amount of Debentures. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment if certain corporate events occur prior to the Maturity Date.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Debentures were C$37.6 million ($29.5 million), after deducting C$2.7 million of transaction costs which includes the underwriters’ commission and directly attributable professional fees. The Company accounted for the Debentures as a liability as the Debentures meet the definition of traditional convertible debt and there are no embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation. The Debentures are shown on the consolidated balance sheet in long-term debt. Interest expense was determined using the effective interest rate method with an effective interest rate of 7.5%. The contractual interest expense for the Debentures during the three months ended March 31, 2021was $0.3 million which is included in other current liabilities on the balance sheet.


The Debentures are not redeemable by the Company before January 31, 2024, except in certain limited circumstances following a change of control. On and after January 31, 2024 and prior to January 31, 2025, provided that the current market price of our common shares at the time at which notice of redemption is given is at least 125% of the conversion price, the Debentures may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part from time to time, at our option on not more than 60 days’ and not less than 30 days’ prior written notice, for an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On and after January 31, 2025 and prior to the Maturity Date, the Debentures may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part from time to time, at our option on not more than 60 days’ and not less than 30 days’ prior written notice, for an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In May 2020, our 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 cancelled or terminated without having been exercised in full have been reserved for issuance under the 2020 LTIP.

The Company also maintains the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Deferred Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors pursuant to which deferred 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 performance 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.

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 was C$3.11 (2020 – C$2.05) which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on their respective grant dates.


Restricted share units (performance-based vesting)

The Company granted to certain executives and senior employees restricted share units 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. The grant date fair value of the PRSUs were valued using the Monte Carlo valuation method and determined to have a weighted average grant date fair value of C$3.27 (2020 – C$1.70).

Deferred share units

The fair value of the 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. DSUs outstanding at March 31, 2021 had a fair value of $1.2 million which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet (December 31, 2020 –$0.9 million).

Performance share units

Under the terms of the PSU Plan, PSUs granted vest at the end of a three-year term. At the end of a three-year term, employees will be awarded cash at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company, calculated based on certain Adjusted EBITDA, total shareholder return, or revenue growth related to performance conditions.

The fair value of the liability and the expense attributable to the vesting period 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. As at March 31, 2021, outstanding PSUs had a fair value of $0.1 million which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet (December 31, 2020 – $0.1 million).

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.

10. INCOME TAXES

Stock based compensation expenseAs at March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of C$3.6 million ($2.8 million) against deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) incurred during the quarter in its Canadian entity as the Company’s Canadian entity has experienced cumulative losses in recent years (December 31, 2020 – C$6.6 million or $5.2 million). Although earnings were positive in 2019, ongoing near-term uncertainties on the business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related decline in business activity impacted the Canadian entity’s ability to generate earnings. Accordingly, it is not deductiblemore likely than not that the Canadian entity’s DTAs will be utilized in the calculationnear term.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing in this Quarterly Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations and estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

We have revised our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit,non-GAAP financial measures, for the presented periods compared to the comparable prior period. For additional information, see “–Non-GAAP Financial Measures – EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.” and “–Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.”

Summary of Financial Results

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 were $41.0 million, a decline of $24.1 million or 37% from $65.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. We believe the decline is principally related to the ongoing effects of disruptions in our sales activity levels stemming from the transitional state of our commercial function as we implement our strategic plan.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were $29.5 million, a decline of $11.5 million or 28% from $41.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. We believe this 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 non-essential business closures, work-from-home requirements, lock-down measures and other regulatory responses implemented by governments and public health officials.

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $3.4 million or 11.4% of revenue, a decline of $7.9 million or 70% from $11.3 million or 27.6% of revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. This reduction was attributable to our decline in revenues, the impact of fixed costs and excess labor capacity on lower revenues. In anticipation of a recovery in demand for our products and services in the second half of 2021 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.

Adjusted Gross Profit (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $7.2 million or 24.3% of revenue, an $8.4 million or 54% decline from $15.6 million or 38.0% of revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Excluded from Adjusted Gross Profit in 2021 and 2020 are $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of overhead costs associated with operating at lower than normal capacity levels, which were charged directly and separately to cost of sales rather than as a cost attributable to production. Between January and April 2020, we reduced our manufacturing workforce by 25% to bring labor capacity in line with expected ongoing requirements, but did not make further adjustments to our manufacturing workforce in the first quarter of 2021 in anticipation of a recovery of demand in the second half of 2021 as vaccination distribution efforts continue.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $12.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively. The higher net loss is primarily the result of the above noted reduction in gross profit, a $2.5 million reduction in foreign exchange gains, a $1.4 million reduction of income tax recoveries and a $0.6 million increase in net interest expense. These decreases were partially offset by $4.1 million of government subsidies and a $1.2 million reduction in operating expenses, which was largely due to lower commissions on reduced sales activities, reduced professional fees, and lower activity as a result of COVID-19.

Adjusted EBITDA (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was an $11.4 million loss or (38.6)% of revenue, a decline of $5.9 million from a loss of $5.5 million, or (13.4)% of revenue, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 for the above noted reasons.

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $11.3 million or 27.6% of revenue, a decline of $12.3 million or 52% from $23.6 million or 36.3% of revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. This reduction was attributable to our decline in revenues and the impact of fixed costs on lower revenues. The first quarter of 2019 includes $1.5 million of costs incurred to mitigate future tile warping.

Adjusted Gross Profit (see “–Non-GAAP Measures”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $15.6 million or 38.0% of revenue, a $10.2 million or 40% decline from $25.8 million or 39.6% of revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 for the above noted reasons. Excluded from Adjusted Gross Profit in 2020 are $2.0 million of overhead costs associated with operating at lower than normal capacity levels, which were charged directly and separately to cost of sales rather than as a cost attributable to production. Between January and April, 2020, we reduced our manufacturing workforce by 25% to bring labor capacity in line with expected ongoing requirements.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $5.3 million, consistent with $5.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Compared to the prior year period, the above noted reduction in gross profit, a $0.8 million increase in litigation costs and a $0.6 million increase in expected credit losses were offset by a $6.0 million reduction in stock based compensation expense, a $2.6 million reduction in reorganization expenditures, a $0.8 million reduction in commission expenses, a $1.3 million recovery of income taxes, a $2.8 million net increase in foreign exchange gains, and other operating expenditure reductions.

Adjusted EBITDA (see “–Non-GAAP Measures”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was a $5.5 million loss or (13.4)% of revenue, a decline of $13.2 million from $7.7 million, or 11.9% of revenue, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 for the above noted reasons. We changed our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019 to exclude the impacts of foreign exchange to improveyear-on-year comparability of Adjusted EBITDA.

Outlook

On November 12, 2019, DIRTT unveiled a four-year strategic plan for the Company, based on three key pillars: commercial execution, manufacturing excellence, and innovation. This plan lays out a roadmap to transform afounder-ledstart-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. While the strategic plan was developed and introduced pre-pandemic, we believe it is as or even more relevant in the post-pandemic world. Furthermore, our execution of the plan to date positions us well as we move forward.


InThroughout 2020, we were able to mitigate the COVID-19 induced slowdown in overall construction activity through the completion of projects that were in progress when the pandemic started. With most of these projects delivered by the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, the first quarter of 2020, we continued our focus on implementing our strategic plan, including2021 reflected the creation of a more comprehensive and effective sales and marketing function. In March, with the onset of theCOVID-19 crisis and associated world-wide economic uncertainties, we evaluated cost control initiatives and conducted a thorough assessment of our financial liquidity. In response to the global pandemic, we quickly took the following series of actions:

Implemented enhanced safety protocols to protect our employees, including work-from-home policies for ournon-factory workforce, plant access restrictions and social distancing measures within our factories and establishment of contingency plans, all as recommended by local and national health authorities.

Established a Rapid Healthcare Response Team to develop and market rapid healthcare deployment solutions to meet the immediate andmid-term needs of local and regional health authorities.

Commenced evaluation of potential downside operational risk scenarios and development of action plans, including plant labor requirements, supply chain risks and mitigations, and credit risk exposure.

Eliminated or deferred uncommittednon-critical or discretionary spending. This includes the deferral of many of our planned sales and marketing hires and our annual Connext tradeshow.

Began evaluationfull impact of the availability of federal aid programs.

Commenced the process to secure incremental access to liquidity, including a covenant holiday on our existing credit facility to October 2020, subject to certain borrowing base calculations, and the establishment of approximately $19.6 million of equipment leasing facilities, of which $7.4 million is expected to be drawnslow down in May.

The impact ofCOVID-19 on our business in the near andmid-term is uncertain.Stay-at-home policies in multiple jurisdictions combined with the resulting adverse economic conditions are likely to negatively impact commercialnon-residential construction activity in the near term, with potential significant negative impacts extending to the end of 2020 and beyond. While many construction sites remain open across North America, several DIRTT projects currently underway are experiencing delays, impacted by the implementation of social distancing and other safety-related measures.

The pandemic-related stresses placed upon North American healthcare systems have spurred increased immediate spending but are also expected to drive ongoingmid- and long-term investments in healthcare infrastructure. With our new capabilities in sales and marketing, we were able to develop a Rapid Response Healthcare Solution quickly and increase our visibility substantially with healthcare end users. The relationships initiated during this time of crisis are an important opportunity to nurture in the post pandemic environment and our strategic plan has positioned us to do so.

on DIRTT’s business. We are working closely with our Distribution Partners to understand expected activity levels and are monitoring our opportunity pipeline and our daily order entry relative to our plant capacity and labor force requirements. We are also actively working to expand our distribution network, including recently bringing on strong new Distribution Partners, one in Texas and one in Wisconsin. In addition, we have been increasing our activities with general contractors and government agencies to introduce new audiences to DIRTT’s modular solutions.

Average daily orders for the monthseeing signs which suggest that revenues of April 2020 were slightly lower than the average daily orders experienced$29.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. Consequently,2021 will be a low point in April, we reducedthe pandemic. This view is supported by growing customer engagement through increased demand for tours, both virtual and in-person at our Savannah and Phoenix plants to a single shift and further reduced production headcount in our Calgary plants. As a result of these actions and taking into account the reductions that occurred between January and April, 2020, our plant headcount is approximately 25% lower than that at December 31, 2019, which we believe is right sized for current activity levels.DIRTT Experience Centers (“DXC’s”), as well as increased project quoting activity. We will continue to evaluate plant capacity within the contextadvance our strategic accounts strategy, with over 40 relationships in various stages of daily order trends, expected revenues and forecasted demand and adjust our labor capacity upwards or downwards accordingly.

In response to theCOVID-19 pandemic, both the US and Canadian governments enacted federal aid programs, including both credit support and payroll subsidies. We have determined that the US programs,development in their current form, are either not applicable or not beneficial. In Canada, we intend to apply for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy; however, there is uncertainty as to whether we qualify under the current enacted legislation due to the exclusion ofnon-arms length sales to our US subsidiary in the eligibility calculations. Therefore, there can be no assurance that our application will be accepted by the Canadian authorities nor the subsidy received.

As maintaining liquidity through this uncertain period is paramount, we are highly focused on cash conservation and conversion of working capital to cash. This includes an increased focus on accounts receivable collections. Despite this focus, we increased our expected credit losses during the quarter by $0.6 million to reflect increased collection risk related to certain Distribution Partners. In April 2020, we acquired trade credit insurance effective April 1, 2020. Net working capital as at March 31, 2020 was $51.0 million ($58.6 million at December 31, 2019) and included $43.5 million of cash with no debt ($47.2 million with no debt at December 31, 2019).

At the end of the first quarter compared to 35 at year-end.  

Accordingly, we had C$30anticipate revenues in the second quarter of 2021 will approach or return to the quarterly ranges experienced in the first half of 2020. The second quarter will benefit from the recognition of $2.0 million of unused capacity under our revolving credit facility. Subsequentrevenue for COVID-19 vaccination trailers that were delivered to March 31, 2020, we entered into a7-year revolving C$5.0 million equipment capital lease facility to fund approximately C$3.8 million of equipment purchasesone customer in 2019 and future equipment purchases at an implied lease rate of 4.25%. We also entered into a5-year $16.0 million equipment capital lease facility to fund equipment purchases for our new South Carolina Plant, including $4.7 million of equipment purchases and deposits made in 2019. The facility is extendible by an additional year at our option and is at an implied lease rate of 3.5%. In addition, we reached an agreement in principle, subject to completion of final documentation, with our lender to provide near-term covenant relief on our existing revolving credit facility, modifying the borrowing base to be based on working capital subject to an aggregate cap of C$50 million including the aforementioned leasing facilities. The covenant relief extends until October 2020, at which point we will seek further relief if necessary.

April. While we have taken significant measurescontinue to reduceCOVID-19-related disruption risks within our plants, the pandemic highlights the risksee signs of single plant manufacturing for our tile and millwork solutions. Accordingly, with the establishment of the US equipment leasing facility and the increased liquidity it provides, we expect that commissioning activities for our new, highly automated South Carolina Plant’s chromacoat production line will begina recovery commencing in the second half of 2020.2021, the timing and magnitude of this recovery continues to be uncertain and is subject to a number of factors, both positive and negative as described further below.

From a macroeconomic viewpoint, we believe that non-residential construction market conditions are beginning to improve as reflected in several industry statistics, particularly in the United States where an accelerated vaccine distribution/rollout program has led some states to ease public health restrictions, and employers to begin the deliberate process of reoccupying their space. Conversely, Canada is experiencing a resurgence of active COVID-19 cases, the reintroduction of public health measures and a slower vaccine roll out, which we expect to continue to depress activity levels in the short term. The CEWS, which has been extended to June 2021, continues to provide some economic relief by partially funding our Canadian workforce costs. In addition, the 2021 federal budget includes the proposed extension of the CEWS to September 2021, subject to legislative implementation by Parliament.

In conventional construction, we are observing increases in the price of steel and wallboard as well as shortages of raw materials, including wallboard, negatively impacting project budgets and, in some cases, schedules. We expectbelieve that this has the potential to drive demand for DIRTT due to increasing price competitiveness of our solutions as well as our ability to help preserve schedules through our short lead times. Conversely, as DIRTT is installed in the final stages of a project, any delays in the pre-installation schedule could negatively impact the timing of DIRTT project delivery, including those in the second half of 2021, making forecasting revenue by specific quarter difficult.

Aluminum and medium density fiberboard, our two main raw materials, have also experienced some increase in price, but not to the same extent as steel and wallboard and we have largely been able to mitigate these increases through efficiency improvements in our manufacturing process. In addition and to date, we have not experienced any major raw material shortages, but we are actively monitoring supply conditions and seeking to maintain appropriate levels of inventory to mitigate such risk.

Our financial position, which we bolstered with a C$40.25 million issuance of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures in January 2021 for net proceeds of C$37.6 million or approximately $29.5 million, has allowed us to continue advancing the development of our commercial function. In the first quarter, we continued selective hiring, adding to our sales and strategic account representatives as well as our segment and solutions support specialists. The rollout of our Customer Relationship Management system to all of our sales representatives continues and is on track for completion by June 30, 2021. The construction of our Dallas DXC is well underway and is expected to open in the third quarter of 2021. Lastly, we continued to identify and establish relationships with potential new Distribution Partners in underserved regions as well as progressing the onboarding of new partners.

In our manufacturing operations, to commencewe have deliberately retained our manufacturing capabilities despite temporarily low activity levels. Gross margin in the first halfquarter reflects this approach which includes the impacts of $1.8 million of costs of over capacity as well as the negative impact of fixed costs on low production volumes. While we mitigated the impact of low activity levels on labor costs to the extent possible through the use of furlough days, we were unable to absorb the entire impact. As activity improves, we expect gross margins to improve due to the decrease in excess labor capacity and leveraging of fixed costs.  

We recently began commissioning our new tile manufacturing facility in South Carolina (the “South Carolina Facility”), and it began producing saleable tiles in April 2021. With significant automationThe South Carolina Facility is scheduled for full commissioning in early June 2021. This new facility, which is highly automated, operates with approximately one-sixth the labor requirement of the similar production capacity in Calgary, reduces single plant risk and increases our total tile production capacity. The South Carolina Facility’s physical proximity to customers located on the US east coast location,East Coast results in an improvement of up to four days in shipping time with commensurate reductions in freight costs for the end customer.


Net working capital at March 31, 2021 was $70.5 million compared to $53.5 million at December 31, 2020.  This includes $58.7 million of cash on hand compared to $45.8 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in cash on hand reflects $29.5 million of net proceeds from the issuance of Debentures in January 2021 offset by cash used in operations of $12.1 million and capital expenditures of $3.6 million. In February 2021, we completed the conversion of our cashflow-based credit facility to an asset backed credit facility to provide incremental working capital financing should it be necessary in the future. Subsequent to quarter end, we completed a $7.2 million draw of our U.S. Leasing Facility primarily related to our South Carolina Facility and anticipate drawing an additional three to four million during the second or third quarter. We expect capital expenditures for the balance of 2021 to be approximately $10.4 million.  

While we believe the South Carolina Plant will provide substantial improvementsfirst quarter sales represented a low point in cost and labor efficiency, material yield and transportation savings. The incremental cash cost of commissioning the South Carolina Plant is approximately $4 million, of which approximately $2 million is expected to be funded with our new capital lease facility and approximately $2 million will be funded with cash on hand. We will deferpandemic, the millwork component, expected to cost approximately $2 million of the total $18.5 million cost, until later in 2021.

The timing and pace of economic recovery, or the resumption of construction activity and related demand, and its effect on achievementstrength of our long-termbalance sheet and the incremental steps we have taken to bolster liquidity give us the confidence to continue the execution of our strategic plan is not possible to predict at this time. Regardless, we believe thatwith the pandemic is likely to have major impacts oncontinued expectation of a recovery in the modern workplace environment. This could lead to a reduction in open office environments andsecond half of 2021, along with increased demand for social spacing and separation withinflexibility should the workplace. Alternative work arrangements, such as work from home, may become more prevalent. We strongly

recovery take longer than expected.  

believe DIRTT’s modular approach to construction, which both provides future flexibility and reduceson-site job labor, will play a meaningful role going forward and that the strategic plan we are implementing positions us to take advantage of opportunities.

Our priorities in this challenging time are straightforward. First and foremost, we believe that we are taking every precaution and making every accommodation required to keep our employees safe. We are taking steps that we believe may facilitate adequate financial liquidity to see us through to a resumption ofpre-pandemic business activity. We are managing our costs and investments prudently so that we emerge from this global pandemic a stronger company, including mitigating manufacturing risk and increasing efficiencies with continued focus on lean manufacturing and the commissioning of our new South Carolina Plant. We are also prudently moving ahead with a sales and marketing organization highly focused on execution such that whatever the timing and pace of economic recovery and related demand for our solutions, we are well positioned to capture the significant market opportunities in our sector.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Note Regarding Use ofNon-GAAP Financial Measures

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These GAAP financial statements includenon-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 thesenon-GAAP financial measures in its review and evaluation of the financial performance of the Company. We believe that thesenon-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 thesenon-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 debtand 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 onnon-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 significantlyperiod-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 the quarters presented. Additionally, since the fourth quarter of 2019, we have 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,Government subsidies, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and foreign exchange gains and losses are excluded from ournon-GAAP financial measures because management considers them to be outside of the Company’s core operating results, even though some of those 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 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 followingnon-GAAP financial measures are presented in this Quarterly Report, and a description of the calculation for each measure is included.

You should carefully evaluate thesenon-GAAP financial measures, the adjustments included in them, and the reasons we consider them appropriate for analysis supplemental to our GAAP information. Each of thesenon-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 thesenon-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 thesenon-GAAP financial measures. Because thesenon-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of thesenon-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

The decreases are largely due to reduced fixed cost leverage due to a $24.1 million reductioncaused by reductions in revenues and excess labor capacity prior to headcount reductions discussed below. partially offset by $0.5 millionof related severance costs incurred during the first quarter of 2020.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, 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, we separately classified $2.0 million as costs related to our under-utilized capacity (5%(1.2% of gross profit margin) in cost of sales. During the quarter weWe took steps to manage our excess capacity, including the reduction in staffing by 14%, with a further 12% reduction in April 2020, and the undertaking of planned factory curtailments. The reduction in staffing resulted in a onetime $0.5 million cost for severances, included in cost of sales for the period ended March 31, 2020 with an additional $0.4 million incurred in April. The staffing reductions realigned our capacity with then expected activity levels; however, our fixed costs will affect our Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, which we expect to remain below historical percentages until sales improve. Prospectively,Between January and April 2020, we expectreduced our fixed cost of salesmanufacturing workforce by 25% to be approximately $6.0 million per quarter, and remaining costs of sales to be approximately 54% of revenues comprising materials which are variable, andbring labor which is quasi-variable as we match our shifts to order volumes.

Additionally, our costs associated with remediating deficiencies decreasedservices in the current period.

Insecond half of 2021 and to preserve our skilled workforce, we deliberately maintained manufacturing headcount, while implementing selective furlough days, in the first quarter of 20192021 despite the shortfall in revenues relative to capacity.

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. During the fourth quarter of 2020, 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.

Revenue

Revenue reflects sales to our Distribution 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.

The following table sets forth the contribution to revenue of our DIRTT product and service offerings:

Revenue decreased in the three months ended March 31, 20202021 by $24.1$11.5 million or 37%28% compared to the same period of 2019.2020. Revenue decreased due to several factors as discussed above in “– Summary of Financial Results” and “– Outlook”. We have been subject tobelieve the decrease principally reflects the severe economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a disruptionmajor contraction in salesconstruction activity levels particularlyin 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 it relates to larger projects, as discussed below, beginning in 2018 and carrying through the current quarter. This disruption stems from the distraction of significant management changes during 2018 on a long sales cycle combined with the immature and transitional state of our sales and marketing function, which limited our ability to take

advantage of growth opportunities in our market. Due to the long sales cycle, particularly for largerimpact of the pandemic on future projects which can be two years or more, this had a corresponding negative effect on our revenue, especiallythat are either in the last half of 2019 and continuing into 2020. This effect has lasted longer than we had anticipated. 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 2021 revenues in light of the current quarter revenues.severe economic adversity caused by the pandemic.


Installation and other services revenue of $0.7increased to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $0.52021 compared to $0.7 million lower thanin the same period in 2019.of 2020. The changes in installation and other services revenue are primarily due to the timing of projects. 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. At March 31, 20202021, we had 7867 Distribution Partners servicing 93multiple locations. We recently added aDuring 2020, we made several changes and upgrades to our Distribution Partner in Dallas, Texas,network, expanding our relationships with new and a Distribution Partnerexisting partners and ending our relationships with locations in eastern Wisconsin, and terminated two underperforming partners.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 37%28% in the three months ended March 31, 20202021 over the same period in 20192020 and was driven primarily by decreased commercial sales. Commercial revenues decreased by 43% from the prior period, due largely to the severe impact of COVID-19 on commercial construction activities in North America. Similarly, education sales which reflectsdecreased by 57% from 2020 as most universities and private schools moved to on-line classes in response to the disruption in sales activity levels noted aboveCOVID-19 pandemic.

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 10% of total sales while sales to the United States increased to 90%.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.4$0.7 million to $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $7.8 million for2020. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease2021 was largely related to a reduction in commission expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 on lower revenues.revenues and lower travel, meals and entertainment expenses due to restrictions on travel as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As economies re-open, we anticipate travel, meals and entertainment expenses will increase over current levels, the timing and amount of such expenses, however, are indeterminate at this time. These reductions were partially offset by $0.2 million of increased salary and wage expenses as we continue to build our sales organization and $0.3 million of staff transferred from Technology and Development to Sales and Marketing.

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. However, inIn light of uncertainty caused by theCOVID-19 pandemic, we are currently evaluating the timing of planned increases to our commercial organizational headcount, prioritizinghave 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 expenses (“G&A”) increased $0.9decreased $0.6 million to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the decrease was the result of lower professional fees and a $0.6 million credit loss recorded in the first quarter of 2020 from $6.9that was not repeated in 2021, partially offset by increased severance costs.

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 $0.2 million to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. In2021, from $2.5 million for the first quarter ofthree months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred higher professional fees of $0.8 million due to ongoing litigation matters. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2020 we recorded expected credit losses of $0.6 million against our accounts receivable balance.reduced activity.

These increases were offset by lower variable compensation provisions in the current quarter. Further, in the first quarter of 2019 we incurred $0.7 million of professional fees related to the listing of our common shares on Nasdaq.

Operations Support Expenses

Operations support expenditures include the fixed costs associated with delivery and project management of DIRTT solutions. Operations support expenses of $2.5 million in the first three months of 2020 were consistent with the prior year period. In the first quarter of 2019 we incurred $0.3 million of consulting costs to assist with the rectification of the tile warping issue. Decreases in consulting costs were offset by increases in personnel costs due to increased headcount to better support project execution and support of our Distribution Partners.

Technology and Development Expenses

Technology and development expenses relate tonon-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 increaseddecreased by $0.1$0.3 million to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. These increases are due to an increase in headcount offset by a $0.5 million increase in capitalized software development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 2019, a higher proportion of activity wasprimarily related to business process improvements that were not eligible for capitalization.staff transferred to Sales and Marketing.


Stock-Based Compensation

To minimize any undue effects on employees, our board of directors approved the availability of a cash surrender feature for certain options, including options issued under our Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan (“Option Plan”), until such time as we requalified as a FPI or we registered our common shares with the SEC. Accordingly, we accounted for the fair value of outstanding stock options at the end of March 31, 2019 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 Option Plan without quarterly fair value adjustments at that date.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 was $0.5$1.1 million, compared to $6.5$0.5 million for the same period of 2019. Stock-based compensation for the first quarter of 2019 included a $5.7 million2020. The increase was largely due to fair value adjustmentadjustments on cash settled stock options,awards as explained above.a result of share price appreciation during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to a reduction in the prior year period.

Reorganization ExpensesGovernment Subsidies

InDuring the first quarter of 2019, we incurred $2.6three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $4.1 million of reorganizationgovernment subsidies (2020 – $nil), of which $2.0 million (2020: $nil) were received during the period in addition to $1.7 million that was receivable at December 31, 2020.

As part of the Canadian federal government’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, the Canadian government established the CEWS provides the Company with a taxable subsidy in respect of a specific portion of wages paid to Canadian employees during qualifying periods extending from March 15, 2020 to June 5, 2021 (with an extension to September 25, 2021 having been announced in the 2021 Canadian federal budget), based on the percentage decline of the Company in certain of its Canadian-sourced revenues during each qualifying period. Pursuant to proposed changes announced in the 2021 Canadian federal budget, the Company may be required to repay all or a portion of the CEWS amounts for any qualifying period commencing after June 5, 2021 where the aggregate compensation for specified executives during the 2021 calendar year exceeds the aggregate compensation for specified executives during the 2019 calendar year. 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 CERS, which provides a taxable subsidy to cover eligible expenses including severance paymentsfor qualifying properties, subject to certain maximums, starting on September 27, 2020 to June 5, 2021 (with an extension to September 25, 2021 having been announced in the 2021 Canadian federal budget), 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 related legal and consulting costs associated with management and organizational changes. We do not consider current period severances related to our plant workforce to be reorganization in nature.is reviewed by the Company for each qualifying period.

Income Tax

The provision for income taxes is comprised of U.S. and Canadian federal, state provincial and foreignprovincial taxes based onpre-tax income. Income tax recoveryexpense for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 was $1.3$0.04 million, compared to a $0.01$1.3 million recovery for the same period of 2019.2020. We have recorded a valuation allowance of $2.8 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. As at March 31, 2020,2021, we had C$41.460.3 million of loss carry-forwards in Canada and none in the United States. These loss carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2030.2032.

Net Loss

Net loss was $5.3increased to $12.5 million or $0.06$0.15 net loss per share in the first quarter of 2020, consistent with2021 from a net loss of $5.3 million or $0.06 net loss per share for the first quarter of 2019.2020. The increased loss remained flat as ais primarily the result of changesa $7.9 million decrease in gross profit, and operating expenses as described above, offset by increaseda $2.5 million net decrease in foreign exchange gains, anda $1.4 million increase in income tax recoveries. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 included $6.4expense and a $0.6 increase in net interest expense, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in operating expenses and $4.1 million of stock-based compensation expense and $2.6 million of reorganization expenses, compared to $0.5 million and $nil, respectively,government subsidies in the same period of 2020.2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 20202021 totaled $43.5$58.7 million, a decreasean increase of $3.6$12.8 million from December 31, 2019. 2020. The increase in cash reflects the impact of $29.5 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the Debentures in January 2021, offset by cash used in operations of $12.1 million and capital expenditures of $3.6 million.  


In July 2019,January 2021, we issued C$40.3 million of the Debentures for net proceeds after costs of C$37.6 million ($29.5 million). The 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 will be repayable on January 31, 2026.  

In February 2021, we entered into a loan agreement governing a C$50.025.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the Royal Bank of Canada (the “RBC Facility”). Draw-downs underRBC. Under the RBC Facility, are available in both Canadian and U.S. dollars. We currently have C$30.0 million available under the RBC Facility as amounts available under the RBC Facility are limited to three times our twelve-month trailing Adjusted EBITDA, excluding certainnon-recurring items. AsBorrowing Base is a resultmaximum of our decline in revenues, discussed previously, and the potential impact90% of theCOVID-19 pandemic on our outlook, we have reached an agreement in principle, subject to completion of final documentation, to allow asix-month covenant holiday from the Royal Bank of Canada, which amends our borrowing base to 75%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 25%85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory subject to an aggregate limit of C$50.0 million including amounts borrowed under leasing facilities. Subsequent toless any reserves for potential prior ranking claims. Under the RBC Facility, at March 31, 2020, we entered into2021 available borrowings are C$9.4 million or $7.5 million.

The Company has a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada Leasing Facility on which C$3.6 million ($2.6 million) of cash consideration has been drawn, and a $16.0$14.0 million U.S. Leasing Facility on which $3.5 million has been drawn and a further $7.2 million was drawn in April 2021 with RBC and one of its affiliates. The Leasing Facilities are available for equipment leasing facility in the United States, of which we expect to utilize $7.4 million in May 2020 related toexpenditures and certain equipment expenditures already incurred. These facilities, respectively, have seven and five-year terms and bear interest at 4.25% and 3.5%. The U.S. leasing facility is extendible forWe anticipate drawing an additional year.three to four million on our Leasing Facilities during the second or third quarter of 2021 primarily related to equipment purchases in the South Carolina Facility as commissioning activities are completed.

In light of the uncertainty caused by the near and potentialmid-term impacts ofCOVID-19, we have evaluated multiple downside scenarios and have implemented cost control and expenditure management processes. Based on these analyses and the implementation of these spending control processes, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents combined with increased liquidity from the aforementioned leasing facilityLeasing Facilities and RBC Facility should, except in very extreme cases, be sufficient to support ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

A prolonged and complete cessation of or sustained significant decrease in North American construction activities or a sustained economic depression and its adverse impacts on customer demand could adversely affect our liquidity. To the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents and increased liquidity from the aforementioned facilities 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.

Since our inception, we have financed operations primarily through cash flows from operations, long-term debt, and the sale of equity securities. Over the past three years, we have funded our operations and capital expenditures through a combination of cashflowcash flow from operations, long-term debt, and cash on hand. We had no amounts outstanding under the RBC Facility as of March 31, 2020.2021 and $5.8 million outstanding under the Leasing Facilities as of March 31, 2021.

Operating Activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities was $0.8$12.1 million for the first three months of 20202021 compared to $7.4$0.8 million net cash flows provided byused in operating activities in the first three months of 2019.2020. The decrease inis cash flows


from operations is largely due to a decrease in revenues and a reduction in accounts receivable collectionspayable and accrued liabilities, and partially offset by the receipt of government subsidies and increases in trade accounts payable, customer deposits and deferred revenue.

Investing Activities

We invested $1.7$2.9 million in property, plant and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, compared to $1.4$1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020. The increase is primarily due to capital investments in manufacturing facilities including the South Carolina Facility and our new Dallas DXC. We invested $1.0$0.7 million on capitalized software during the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, as compared to $0.5$1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase is due to the current mix of projects undertaken by the Company and included a higher portion of efforts eligible for capitalization compared to the first quarter of 2019 in which projects were related to business process improvements that were not eligible for capitalization.

We repaid the balance of $5.6 million on long-term debt outstanding and related interest during the first quarter of 2019.$nil.

We currently expect to fund anticipated future investments through the combination ofwith available cash, including the proceeds from our issuance of Debentures, and drawings on our Leasing Facilities.

At March 31, 2021 available borrowings are C$9.4 million ($7.5 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 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 below 1.10:1 for the 3 immediately consecutive months, the Company is required to maintain a reserve account equal to the aggregate of one year of payments on outstanding loans on the Leasing Facilities. The Company did not meet the 3 month FCCR requirement during the first quarter of 2021 which resulted in requiring the restriction of $1.1 million of cash.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Credit risk

The overall change and uncertainty in the economy as a result of theCOVID-19 pandemic has caused us to increase our expectation of credit losses during the quarter, and additionally, we believe theCOVID-19 pandemic has affected the ability of certain Distribution Partners to pay amounts owed or owing to DIRTT due to the impact of local shut-downs on businesses in certain markets. Accordingly, we have increased our provision for expected credit losses by $0.6 million to $0.7 million during the quarter.

Foreign exchange risk

The recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar in March, 2020, resulted in a reduction in Canadian dollar denominated revenues and a reduction in reported operating expenses, as approximately 50% of our expenditures are denominated in Canadian dollars. If the foreign exchange rate moves in the opposite direction it will have a negative impact on our reported results.

Other than the above, there have been no material changes to our market risk exposures since our disclosures in our Annual Report on Form10-K. For information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, please refer to Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form10-K.

Controls and Procedures

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

As required by RulesRule 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 March 31, 2020.2021. Based upon their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2020,2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

As previously reportedWe continue to pursue multiple lawsuits against our former founders, Mogens Smed and Barrie Loberg, and their new company Falkbuilt Ltd. (“Falkbuilt”) for violation of fiduciary duties and non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in our Annual Reporttheir DIRTT executive employment agreements, and the misappropriation of DIRTT’s confidential and proprietary information 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.

Our litigation against Falkbuilt and Messrs. Smed and Loberg is currently comprised of three main lawsuits: (i) an action in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench instituted on Form10-K, on December 11,May 9, 2019 we filed a federal lawsuitagainst 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, Ltd. (“Falkbuilt”), Falk MountainSmed, and other individual and corporate defendants alleging misappropriation of DIRTT’s confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information, and false advertising in violation of the United States LLC, Kristy Henderson,Lanham Act, the Colorado Consumer Protection Act, and former DIRTT employee Lance Hendersonthe Ohio Deceptive Trade Practices Act (the “U.S. Defendants”Misappropriation Case”); and (iii) an action for federal patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois instituted on August 6, 2020 against Falkbuilt, alleging that Falkbuilt infringes certain of DIRTT’s patents relating to our proprietary ICE® software (the “U.S. Patent Case”). This action seeks

In the Canadian Non-Compete Case, we are seeking, among other things, an order stopping the defendants from unlawfully competing with us, and payment of lost revenue and damages. We were recently successful in defeating an application for partial summary dismissal of our claims against Mr. Loberg for violating the restrictive covenants in his executive employment agreement (which are identical to the restrictive covenants in Mr. Smed’s agreement). Mr. Loberg had claimed that the non-compete obligations were unenforceable, and filed a summary dismissal application. The court denied Mr. Loberg’s application, and awarded DIRTT costs. Mr. Loberg appealed the decision, and on April 1, 2021, the dismissal was upheld on appeal and DIRTT was again awarded costs. To date, we have questioned six individual defendants or witnesses in the Canadian Non-Compete Case, and are scheduled to question additional individuals over the next several months, including Messrs. Smed and Loberg. We are pleased with the results of the questioning to date and believe they give strong support to our allegations. We intend to continue to pursue the case vigorously.

In the U.S. Misappropriation Case, we are seeking to restrain the defendants from misappropriating DIRTT’sour confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information, and using that information to advance Falkbuilt’s U.S. businesses to the detriment of DIRTT. On March 12, 2020, the U.S. District Court 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 DIRTT 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 U.S. District Court of Utah. DIRTT is currently pursuing discovery to enforce the injunction and its claims. On February 5, 2020, Falkbuilt filed its answerbusiness to our U.S. claim, together withdetriment. Falkbuilt had previously filed a counterclaim (which it amended on March 18, 2020)countersuit against DIRTT alleging defamation and intentional interference with economic relations. On March 30, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Utah granted our motion to dismiss those counterclaims, meaning that DIRTT is no longer a defendant by counterclaim in the U.S. Misappropriation Case. The court previously granted a preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo, and we continue to seek discovery in the case through motions to compel and subpoenas issued across the Falkbuilt “Branch” network.

In the U.S. Patent Case, we are seeking, among other things, an order enjoining Falkbuilt from infringing our patents and damages for past or continuing infringement. Falkbuilt is seeking damages in excessattempting to initiate an inter partes review and post grant review of $3.0 million, plus punitive damages.DIRTT’s subject patents, and has filed a motion to stay the case pending resolution of these reviews. DIRTT has movedfiled a motion opposing the stay, and believes that Falkbuilt’s actions are simply an attempt to dismissdelay the amended counterclaim. We believe Falkbuilt’s claim is without merit and we intend to defend it vigorously and continue to pursue ourcourt proceedings.

No amounts are accrued for the above legal remedies against the U.S. Defendants.proceedings.

We may, from time to time, become involved in other legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including the initiation and defense of proceedings to protect intellectual property rights, product liability claims and employment claims. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. In the opinion of our management, none of the pending litigation, disputes or claims against us will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our


Annual Report on Form10-K, which could materially affect our businesses, financial condition, or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth could be harmed by the effects of theCOVID-19 pandemic.

TheCOVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected,created significant volatility, uncertainty and may continueeconomic disruption. The extent to negatively affect, our operations, including our revenue, expenses, collectability of accounts receivables andwhich COVID-19, or other amounts owed, capital expenditures, liquidity, prospects, and overall financial condition. We are subject to risks related to the public health crises such as the global pandemic associated with the coronavirus(COVID-19). In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared theCOVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Further, the President of the United States declared theCOVID-19 pandemic a national emergency. In Canada and the United States, numerous state, local, and provincial jurisdictions, including Alberta, Canada, where our headquarters and a principal manufacturing facility are located, and Phoenix, Arizona and Savannah, Georgia, where our other principal manufacturing facilities are located, have imposed, and others in the future may impose,“shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread ofCOVID-19. Such orderspandemics or restrictions, and the perception that such orders or restrictions could occur, have resulted in business closures, work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, work-from-home policies, travel restrictions, construction delays and stoppages and cancellation of events, among other effects, thereby negatively affectingepidemics, impact our employees, operations, customers, suppliers Distribution Partners, and offices, among others.

We have responded to theCOVID-19 pandemic by, among other things, implementing enhanced safety protocols to protect our employees; commencing an evaluation of potential downside operational risk scenarios and developing action plans; eliminating or deferring uncommittednon-critical or discretionary spending; and commencing the process to secure additional incremental access to liquidity. Due to theshelter-in-place orders in Canada and the United States, we have implemented work-from-home policies for manynon-factory employees as well as plant access restrictions and social-distancing measures within our facilities, which may affect productivity and disrupt our business operations, including our ability to maintain operations, financial reporting systems, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.Shelter-in-place policies in multiple jurisdictions combined with the resulting adverse economic conditions are expected to adversely affect construction activity in the near term, with potential significant adverse effects extending beyond 2020. For example, several projects currently underway are experiencing delay, impacted by both the implementation of social distancing and other safety-related measures. We also believe that theCOVID-19 pandemic may have significant influence on future workplace environments, with increasing focus on workplace safety. This could lead to a reduction in open office environments and increased demand for social spacing and separation within the workplace, which may benefit our business. On the other hand, if alternative work arrangements, such as work from home, become more prevalent, demand for our products may decrease. Continuedshelter-in-place orders, quarantines, executive orders or related measures to combat the spread ofCOVID-19, as well as perceived need by individuals to continue such practices, could harm our near- and long-term results of operations and revenue, business and financial condition.

In addition, theCOVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our plans to grow our business. For example, in light of the uncertainty caused by theCOVID-19 pandemic and logistical challenges of hiring and onboarding, we are evaluating our priorities and are phasing the planned increases to our commercial organizational headcount needed to strengthen our sales and marketing efforts to implement our strategic plan. We have also further reduced our manufacturing labor force and have reduced shifts at our manufacturing facilities.

Adverse economic and market conditions could also have a negative effect on others on whom our business depends, such as our suppliers, Distribution Partners, customers, and third-party contractors, which may cause them to fail to meet their obligations to us. Additionally, we are working closely with our Distribution Partners to understand expected activity levels and are actively monitoring our opportunity pipeline and our daily order entry relative to our plant capacity and labor force requirements. However, we believe theCOVID-19 pandemic has affected the ability of certain Distribution Partners to pay amounts owed or owing to us due to the impact of local shut-downs on businesses in certain markets. We increased our expected credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 by $0.6 million to reflect increased collection risk related to certain Distribution Partners. We are also exploring methods to further decrease our credit risk exposure, including implementing trade credit insurance for all sales post March, 2020.

While the potential economic impact brought by and the duration ofCOVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, the pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread ofCOVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common shares. Further, a recession or prolonged economic contraction could also harm the business and results of operations of our customers and Distribution Partners, resulting in potential business closures and layoffs of employees. The timing and pace of economic recovery, the resumption of construction activity and related demand, or its effect on achievement of our long-term strategic plan goals is not possible to predict.

TheCOVID-19 pandemic continues to change rapidly. The extent of the impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic on our business and our financial and operational performance is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread, severity, and any recurrence of theCOVID-19 pandemic;numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of related federal, state, provincial and local government orders and

restrictions; the extentCOVID-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 ofon construction activity; theCOVID-19 pandemic on the construction market and effect on our Distribution Partners,customers’ demand for our DIRTT 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 suppliers;essential construction, we, and certain of our access to capital, allcustomers 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 are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.may vary by individual jurisdictions. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity or results of operations.
