Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2021 (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. In particular and without limitation, this Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements pertaining to the competitiveness of the Company's solutions, the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects and the financial position of the Company. 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 materialan adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects include, but are not limited to, the severity and duration of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related economic repercussions and other risks described under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 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 Form 10-K”), as supplemented by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on May 5, 2021, and in this Quarterly Report under “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.”  These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and any strain variants or resurgences thereof on our business;

 

our ability to implement our strategic plan;

 

our ability to maintain and manage growth effectively;

 

competition in the interior construction industry;

 

competitive behaviors by our co-founders and former executives;

 

our reliance on our network of Distribution Partners (as defined herein) for sales, marketing and installation of our solutions;

 

our ability to introduce new designs, solutions and technology and gain client and market acceptance;

 

defects in our designing and manufacturing software and warranty and product liability claims brought against us;

 

material fluctuations of commodity prices, including raw materials;

 

shortages of supplies of certain key components and materials or disruption in supplies due to global events;

 

global economic, political and social conditions and financial markets;

 

our exposure to currency exchange rates, tax rates and other fluctuations, including those resulting from changes in laws or administrative practice;

 

legal and regulatory proceedings brought against us;

 

infringement on our patents and other intellectual property;

 

cyber-attacks and other security breaches of our information and technology systems;

 

damage to our information technology and software systems;

ii


 

our requirements to comply with applicable environmental, health and safety laws;

 

our ability to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and sustain profitability;

ii


 

our periodic fluctuations in results of operations and financial conditions;

 

volatility of our share price;

 

the effect of being governed by the corporate laws of Alberta, Canada, including obstacles to investors seeking to acquire control of our company;

 

the effect of being governed by the corporate laws of a foreign country, including the difficulty of enforcing civil liabilities against directors and officers residing in a foreign country;

 

turnover of our key executives and difficulties in recruiting or retaining key employees;

 

the availability of capital or financing on acceptable terms, which may impair our ability to make investments in the business;

 

the availability of government subsidies;

 

the construction, expansion and commissioning of our facilities and buildings; and

 

future mergers, acquisitions, agreements, consolidations or other corporate transactions we may engage in.

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 place undue reliancerely 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.

DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“DIRTT”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) is a leading technology-driven manufacturer of highly customized interiors. DIRTT combines its proprietary 3D design, configuration and manufacturing ICE® software (“ICE” or “ICE Software”) with integrated in-house manufacturing of its innovative prefabricated interior construction solutions and an extensive network of distribution partners (“Distribution Partners”). ICE provides accurate design, drawing, specification, pricing and manufacturing process information, allowing rapid production of high-quality custom solutions using fewer resources than traditional manufacturing methods. ICE is also licensed to unrelated companies and Distribution Partners of the Company. DIRTT is incorporated under the laws of the province of Alberta, Canada, its headquarters is located at 7303 – 30th Street S.E., Calgary, AB, Canada T2C 1N6 and its registered office is located at 4500, 855 – 2nd Street S.W., Calgary, AB, Canada T2P 4K7. DIRTT’s common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “DRT” and on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “DRTT”.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, the Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31,June 30, 2021, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 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, 2020 and 2019 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.Commission and applicable securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada. As described in Note 4, the Company adopted a new accounting standard relating to convertible debentures effective January 1, 2021. Further information on this standard and the impact on the Company of this 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, 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 resulting adverse economic conditions have negatively impacted construction activity and consequently DIRTT’s business, with potential significant negative impacts extending tothrough the first half of 2021 and potentially beyond.

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

COVID-19 has increased the complexity of estimates and assumptions used to prepare the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the following key sources of estimation uncertainty:

Credit risk

COVID-19 may cause DIRTT’s Distribution Partners and customers to experience liquidity issues and this may result in higher expected credit losses or slower collections. Management estimated the impact of expected credit losses and increased the provision by $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2020 (see Note 5). Management has continued to reassess the impact of COVID-19 on our Distribution Partners. 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.collections as a result of COVID-19. To address this risk and the uncertainty around the timing of a recovery from COVID-19, the Company issued convertible unsecured subordinated debentures in January 2021, for net proceeds of $29.5 million, and has credit facilities available 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 inenacted as part of the 2021 Canadian federal budget, the Company may be required to repay all or a portion of the CEWS amounts received 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 onfor qualifying periods extending from 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,June 30, 2021, management determined an impairment provision of non-current assets was not required as our outlook is consistent with the assumptions used in our impairment test undertaken at December 31, 2021.2020. In future periods, if our results or outlook are less than our forecast, this conclusion may need to be revisited.

4. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

On August 5, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (the “ASU”). The ASU eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted earnings per share computation. The amendments in the ASU are effective for 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 this 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 several other new accounting standards issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its Financial Statements.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. At March 31,June 30, 2021, approximately 85%88% 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. For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, 1 Distribution Partner (2020 – none) accounted for $3.6$8.2 million and $11.8 million of revenue, which is greater than 10% of total revenue. No Distribution Partners accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. 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-19 pandemic as well as the disruption to businesses in North America, the overall credit quality of certain receivables declined at March 31,June 30, 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 quartersix month period ended March 31,June 30, 2020. No adjustments to our expected credit losses were required at March 31,June 30, 2021. During the first quarterssix months 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.

Revolving Credit Facility

On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement governing a C$25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”RBC


), as lender (the “RBC Facility”). Under the RBC Facility, the Company is able to borrow up to a maximum of 90% of investment grade or insured accounts receivable plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 75% of the book value of eligible inventory and 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims (the “Borrowing Base”). At March 31,June 30, 2021, available borrowings are C$9.410.3 million ($7.58.3 million), of which no amounts have been drawn. Interest is calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 30 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 155 basis points. Under the 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 fixed charge coverage ratio (“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 preceding 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 (defined below). The Company did not meet the 3 month FCCR requirement during the first quarterand second quarters of 2021 which resulted in requiring the restriction of $1.1$2.8 million of cash.cash at June 30, 2021. Should an event of default occur or the Aggregate Excess Availability be less than C$6.25 million for 5 consecutive business days, the Company would enter a cash dominion period whereby the Company’s bank accounts would be blocked by RBC and daily balances willwould 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 $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 4.50%5.77%. The U.S. Leasing Facility is amortized over a six-year term and extendible at the Company’s option for an additional year.

During the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2021, the Company received $nil$8.4 million (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 millionFacility draw 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.plant. During the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 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 andportion of long-term debt and other liabilities.accrued interest and long-term debt. 

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 and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 was $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which is included in other current liabilitiesportion of long-term debt and accrued interest 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. Upon vesting of certain LTIP awards, the Company may withhold shares as a means of meeting DIRTT’s tax withholding requirements in respect of the tax payable by award holders. To the extent the fair value of the withheld shares upon vesting exceeds the grant date fair value of the instrument, the excess amount is credited to retained earnings or deficit.

The 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,each vesting period, the associated 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)1.89) 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). Based on share price performance since the date of grant, 33.3% of the 2021 PRSUs and 100% of the 2020 PRSUs will vest upon completion of the three-year service period.

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,June 30, 2021 had a fair value of $1.2$1.6 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 (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this Quarterly Report), 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,June 30, 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).

In 2018, 1,725,000 stock options were granted to an executive with performance conditions for vesting. For 825,000 stock options, vesting is upon an increase in the Company’s share price to C$13.26, and for 900,000 stock options, vesting is upon an increase in the Company’s share price to C$19.89. These options were valued using the Monte Carlo valuation method and determined to have a weighted average grant fair value of C$2.14 on original grant.


These awards were accounted for at the fair value attributable to the vesting period until October 9, 2019 when these were reclassified to equity accounting and were re-valued at a weighted average fair value of C$0.83.

Dilutive Instruments

For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, 4.8 million options (2020 – 5.6 million), 4.44.6 million and 4.0 million RSUs and PRSUs (2020 – nil)nil and 11.02.7 million), respectively and 8.7 million shares which would be issued if the principal amount of the convertible debentures were settled in our common shares at the quarter end share price (2020 – nil) were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of common shares calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive to the net loss per share.

Revenue recognized at a point in time represents the majority of the Company’s sales and revenue is recognized when a customer obtains legal title to the product, which is when ownership of products is transferred to, or services are delivered to the contract counterparty. Revenue recognized over time is limited to installation and other services provided to customers and is recorded as performance obligations which are satisfied over the term of the contract.

The balance of contract liabilities was higher as at March 31,June 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 mainly due to the timing of orders and payments. Contract liabilities as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, totaling $1.5$1.6 million and $2.7 million were recognized as revenue during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Sales by Industry

10. INCOME TAXES

As at March 31,For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a valuation allowanceallowances of C$3.62.7 million and C$6.3 million, respectively ($2.82.3 million and $5.1 million) against deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) incurred


during the quarterperiods 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 more likely than not that the Canadian entity’s DTAs will be utilized in the near 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.

Summary of Financial Results

 

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2021 were $29.5$41.1 million, a decline of $11.5$1.1 million or 28%2% from $41.0$42.2 million for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2020. WeRevenue decreased 15% to $70.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $83.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 revenues have returned to quarterly ranges experienced in the first half of 2020 and have increased by $11.6 million from the first quarter of 2021. On a year-to-date basis, we believe this decrease principally reflects the severe economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020, 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,June 30, 2021 was $3.4$9.2 million or 11.4%22.4% of revenue, a decline of $7.9$5.0 million or 70%35% from $11.3$14.2 million or 27.6%33.7% of revenue for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2020. ThisThe reduction was attributable to $1.3 million of higher transportation costs due to third party trucking cost increases, $1.3 million of higher direct material costs due to the combined impact of a 5% increase in the cost of materials and a specialized project that required additional third party manufactured inputs, $0.5 million of incremental costs related to our new highly automated panel manufacturing facility in Rock Hill, South Carolina (the “South Carolina Facility”) as well as the $1.1 million negative impact of a stronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based manufacturing costs. In addition, the three months ended June 30, 2020 included a $1.2 million reversal of a timber provision that did not reoccur in 2021.

Gross profit for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 was $12.6 million or 17.8% of revenue, a decline in revenues,of $12.9 million or 51% from $25.5 million or 30.7% of revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was largely due to 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. The reduction was also attributable to $1.6 million of higher transportation costs from third party trucking cost increases, $1.6 million higher direct material costs due to the combined impact of a 3% increase in the cost of materials and a specialized project that required additional third party manufactured inputs, $1.0 million of incremental costs related to our new South Carolina Facility as well as the $1.6 million negative impact of a stronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based manufacturing costs. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2020 included a $1.2 million reversal of a timber provision that did not reoccur in 2021.

 

Adjusted Gross Profit (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2021 was $7.2$11.3 million or 24.3%27.4% of revenue, an $8.4a $4.9 million or 54%30% decline from $15.6$16.1 million or 38.0%38.2% of revenue for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2020 for the reasons described above.

Adjusted Gross Profit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $18.4million or 26.1% of revenue compared to $31.7million or 38.1% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Excluded from Adjusted Gross Profit infor the six months ended June 30, 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 ongoingfuture requirements butas a result of impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the construction industry. We did not make further adjustments to our manufacturing workforce in the first quartersix months of 2021 in anticipation of a recovery of demanddemand.


Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $9.7 million compared to net income of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The higher net loss is primarily the result of the above noted reduction in gross profit, a $4.2 million increase in operating expenses, which was largely due to increased stock based compensation, one-time severance costs and salary and wage expenses as we continue to build our sales organization and execute on our strategic plan and increased travel, meals and entertainment costs due to the second halfeasing of 2021COVID-19 restrictions, a $0.9 million reduction of government subsidies and a $0.7 increase in interest expense as vaccination distribution efforts continue.well as the estimated $1.3 million impact of a stronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based operating expenses. These amounts were partially offset by a $0.9 million reduction in foreign exchange losses.

 

Net loss for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $12.5$22.2 million and $5.3compared to $5.0 million respectively.for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The higher net loss is primarily the result of the above noted reduction in gross profit, a $2.5$3.1 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 higher one-time severance and salary and wage expenses as discussed above partially offset by lower commissions on reduced sales activities reducedand lower professional fees, a $1.6million net increase in foreign exchange losses, a $1.2 million increase in interest expense and lower activitya $1.5million reduction in income tax recoveries as well as the estimated $1.9 million impact of a resultstronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based operating expenses.

Outlook

OnIn November 12, 2019, DIRTT unveiled a four-year strategic plan for the Company, based on three key pillars: commercial execution, manufacturing excellence, and innovation. 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.


Throughout 2020, we were able to mitigate the COVID-19 induced slowdown in overall construction activity through the completionAs expected, second quarter 2021 revenue 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,$41.1 million was nearly forty percent higher than the first quarter of 2021 reflectedand within the full impact of the slow down in non-residential construction activity on DIRTT’s business. We are seeing signs which suggest that revenues of $29.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 will be a low point in the pandemic. This view is supported by growing customer engagement through increased demand for tours, both virtual and in-person at our DIRTT Experience Centers (“DXC’s”), as well as increased project quoting activity. We continue to advance our strategic accounts strategy, with over 40 relationships in various stages of development in the first quarter compared to 35 at year-end.  

Accordingly, we anticipate revenues in the second quarter of 2021 will approach or return to the quarterly revenue ranges experienced in the first half of 2020. The second quarter will benefit from the recognitionSigns of $2.0 million of revenue for COVID-19 vaccination trailers that were delivered to one customer in April. While we continue to see signs of aeconomic recovery commencingcontinued in the second halfquarter of 2021 with the timingeasing of pandemic restrictions across North America. Third party construction indices that are leading indicators of future non-residential activity, including the Dodge Momentum Index and magnitude of this recovery continuesthe Architectural Billing Index, were in expansionary territory in the quarter. However, we are closely monitoring potential surges in COVID infection rates, driven by the Delta variant, and the resulting impact on demand, labor availability, supply chains and our own operations.

At the same time, conventional construction has experienced dramatic increases in input costs, particularly steel, alongside significant material and labor shortages. These factors, along with permitting backlogs, are resulting in increases to be uncertainconstruction costs and is subject to along schedule delays, including both the number of factors, both positiveprojects experiencing delay and negative as described further below.the longer duration of the delay.

From a macroeconomic viewpoint, weWe believe that non-residentialrising input costs for conventional construction market conditions are beginningallowing our solutions to improve as reflected in several industry statistics, particularlybecome more price competitive on a day one basis. While we have experienced some inflation in the United States where an accelerated vaccine distribution/rollout program has led some states to ease public health restrictions,cost of our core raw materials of aluminum, medium density fiberboard 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 observingglass, those increases have lagged increases in the pricecost of steel and wallboard as well as shortages ofother conventional construction raw materials, including wallboard, negatively impacting project budgets and, in some cases, schedules. We believe 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.materials. In addition, and to date we have not experienced any major raw material shortages but we are actively monitoring supply conditions and seekinghave been able to maintain appropriatesufficient inventory levels of inventory to mitigate such risk. As a result, we have strategically elected not to pass along raw material price increases in order to enhance our relative price competitiveness versus conventional construction. We will continue to monitor the impact of input cost inflation; however, we expect that the increased price competitiveness of our solutions will drive higher demand, allowing us to improve profitability through absorption of unused labor capacity and fixed cost leverage within our plants.


Schedule delays have served to further highlight the benefits of our prefabricated approach to interior construction. DIRTT’s short lead and installation times allow clients to recapture a portion of the time lost to schedule delays, which we believe makes DIRTT a more attractive option compared to conventional construction. Further, we believe we are uniquely positioned to reduce labor required for interior construction through the combination of prefabrication in facilities emphasizing Lean manufacturing techniques as well as deploying automation as showcased in our recently opened South Carolina Facility.

While our ability to deliver on short lead times is a distinct advantage, our products are installed in the final stages of a project and as such, delays in the project schedule prior to our installation will negatively impact the timing of delivery and the recognition of related sales revenue. Many of our end customers are experiencing high pre-installation schedule delays, which has resulted in a corresponding shift of projects from the second half of 2021 into 2022. As a result, we are now expecting a slower pace of recovery in the second half of 2021, with third quarter revenue anticipated to be similar to the second quarter.

Companies are expressing an increasing interest in flexible, adaptable spaces and prefabricated, offsite construction as they reoccupy their space and explore new ways of working with their teams. We believe DIRTT is uniquely positioned to address this new built environment. Notwithstanding a slower-than-anticipated return to sales growth, we remain encouraged by the sales activity levels within our business, including increased quoting and large project request for proposal (RFP) activity relative to 2020. These activities, while not directly tied to contracted revenue, are indicative of both the overall increasing interest and demand, and the potential strength of our transformed commercial capabilities. In June 2021, the number of client tours, both physically and virtually, that we hosted at our DIRTT Experience Centres (DXCs), including our Dallas DXC that was under construction, was at a 30-month high and we continue to experience increasing engagement with our existing and potential strategic accounts. Strategic accounts provide us the opportunity to generate repeat sales based on existing relationships and we have expanded our strategic account relationships in the second quarter to 44 from 40 relationships in the first quarter of 2021. Additionally. we have been successful on a number of large strategic account RFPs, which we define as being projects exceeding $2.0 million, with delivery dates anticipated to begin in 2022.

Our strong 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 advancingto advance the development of our commercial function. InDuring the firstsecond quarter, we continued with selective hiring adding to our sales and strategic account representatives as well as our segment and solutions support specialists. Thecompleted 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 ofrepresentatives. We anticipate that our Dallas DXC is well underwaywill be ready for occupancy late in the third quarter of this year. Finally, we welcomed three new Distribution Partners in the quarter and is expected to openare finalizing the onboarding of two major general contractors that we expect will join our distribution partner network in the third quarter of 2021. Lastly, we continued to identifyWe are identifying and establishestablishing relationships with potential new Distribution Partners in underserved regions as well as progressingregions.

On June 8, 2021, we formally opened our new highly automated panel manufacturing facility in Rock Hill South Carolina for a total cost of $17.6 million. This compares to an initial budget of $18.5 million, reflecting the onboardingdeferral of new partners.

In our manufacturing operations, we have deliberately retained our manufacturing capabilities despite temporarily low activity levels. Gross marginthe casework component to a later date and the addition of priming and UV equipment not contemplated in the first quarter reflects this approachoriginal budget. The plant is fully operational, and we are balancing production and resulting labor requirements with our Calgary panel plant. The South Carolina Facility requires one-sixth the labor of the Calgary facility for the same level of output and improves shipping time up to four days with commensurate reductions in freight costs for our East Coast customers. The South Carolina Facility is also a key asset to enhance our customer experience, we believe representing the future of industrialized construction and how it can improve the quality of the built environment. In preparation for increasing demand, we are continuing to deliberately retain manufacturing capacity, which includes the impacts of $1.8 million of costs of over capacity as well as theis expected to negatively impact gross margins due to both negative impact of fixed costs on low production volumes. While we mitigated the impact of low activity levels oncost leverage and excess labor costs to the extent possible through the use of furlough days, we were unable to absorb the entire impact.capacity. As activity improves, we expect gross margins to improve dueaccordingly.

Our financial position remained strong at June 30, 2021, with $58.3 million of cash on hand at June 30, 2021 compared 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. The 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 East Coast results in an improvement of up to four days in shipping time with commensurate reductions in freight costs for the end customer.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These GAAP financial statements include non-cash charges and other charges and benefits that we believe are unusual or infrequent in nature or that we believe may make comparisons to our prior or future performance difficult.

As a result, we also provide financial information in this Quarterly Report that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its review and evaluation of the financial performance of the Company. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures also provide additional insight to investors and securities analysts as supplemental information to our GAAP results and as a basis to compare our financial performance period over period and to compare our financial performance with that of other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons of our core operating results from period to period and to other companies by removing the effects of our capital structure (net interest income on cash deposits, interest expense on outstanding debt and debt facilities, or foreign exchange movements), asset base (depreciation and amortization), the impact of under-utilized capacity on gross profit, tax consequences and stock-based compensation. We remove the impact of all foreign exchange from Adjusted EBITDA. Foreign exchange gains and losses can vary significantly period-to-period due to the impact of changes in the U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rates on foreign currency denominated monetary items on the balance sheet and are not reflective of the underlying operations of the Company. We remove the impact of under-utilized capacity from gross profit, and fixed production overheads are allocated to inventory on the basis of normal capacity of the production facilities. In periods where production levels are abnormally low, unallocated overheads are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In addition, management bases certain forward-looking estimates and budgets on non-GAAP financial measures, primarily Adjusted EBITDA.

Government subsidies, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and foreign exchange gains and losses are excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures because management considers them to be outside of the Company’s core operating results, even though some of those receipts and expenses may recur, and because management believes that each of these items can distort the trends associated with the Company’s ongoing performance. We believe that excluding these receipts and expenses provides investors and management with greater visibility to the underlying performance of the business operations, enhances consistency and comparativeness with results in prior periods that do not, or future periods that may not, include such items, and facilitates comparison with the results of other companies in our industry.



The following non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this Quarterly Report, and a description of the calculation for each measure is included.

 

Adjusted Gross Profit

Gross profit before deductions for costs of under-utilized capacity, depreciation and amortization

 

 

Adjusted Gross Profit Margin

Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue

 

 

EBITDA

Net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA adjusted for foreign exchange gains or losses; stock-based compensation expense; government subsidies, and any other non-core gains or losses

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue

 

You should carefully evaluate these non-GAAP financial measures, the adjustments included in them, and the reasons we consider them appropriate for analysis supplemental to our GAAP information. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool due to exclusion of some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider any of these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. You should also be aware that we may recognize income or incur expenses in the future that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in these non-GAAP financial measures. Because these non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased to $11.4 $6.8million loss or (38.6)(16.6)%, respectively, from $0.3 million or 0.6% in the same period of 2020, respectively. This reflects a $4.9million decrease in Adjusted Gross Profit discussed below, increased professional fees, one-time severance costs, higher salary and wage expenses reflecting the cumulative effect of hires in line with our strategic plan, increased travel, meals and entertainment due to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and the estimated $1.2 million


impact of a strengthening of the Canadian dollar on Canadian based operating expenses, excluding depreciation and stock-based compensation, compared to the prior year period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased to a $18.2 million loss or (25.8)%, respectively, from a $5.5$5.2 million loss or (13.4)(6.3)% in the same period of 2020, respectively. This reflects an $8.4 a $13.3million decrease in Adjusted Gross Profit and $0.3 million in lower costs of underutilized capacity, discussed below.below, higher severance costs and salary and wage expenses as discussed above as well as the estimated $1.7 million impact of a stronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based operating expenses, excluding depreciation and stock-based compensation. Reductions in Adjusted EBITDA were partially offset by lower professional fees, reduced


commissions on lower revenues and cost reductions as a result of reduced activity related to COVID-19. Additionally, in the first quarterhalf of 2020, we increased our provision for expected credit losses by $0.6 million.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin decreased to $7.2 $11.3million or 24.3%27.4% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, from $15.6$16.1 million or 38.0%38.2% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020. The decreases arereduction was attributable to $1.3 million of higher transportation costs due to third party trucking cost increases, $1.3 million of higher direct material costs due to the combined impact of a 5% increase in the cost of materials and a specialized project that required additional third party manufactured inputs, $0.5 million of incremental costs related to our new South Carolina Facility as well as the $1.1 million impact of a stronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based manufacturing costs. In addition, the three months ended June 30, 2020 included a $1.2 million reversal of a timber provision that did not reoccur in 2021.

Gross profit and gross profit margin decreased to $12.6 million or 17.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from$25.5 million or 30.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin decreased to $18.4million or 26.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $31.7 million or 38.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was largely due to reducedthe impact of fixed cost leverage caused by reductionscosts and excess labor capacity on lower revenues. In anticipation of a recovery in demand for our products and services and to preserve our skilled workforce, we deliberately maintained manufacturing headcount, while implementing selective furlough days despite the shortfall in revenues partially offset by $0.5relative to capacity. The reduction was also attributable to $1.6 millionof higher transportation costs from third party trucking cost increases, $1.6 million higher direct material costs due to the combined impact of a 3% increase in the cost of materials and a specialized project that required additional third party manufactured inputs, $1.0 million of incremental costs related severance costs incurred duringto our new South Carolina Facility as well as the first quarter$1.6 million impact of 2020.a stronger Canadian dollar on Canadian based manufacturing costs. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2020 included a $1.2 million reversal of a timber provision that did not reoccur in 2021.

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 (1.2% of gross profit margin) in cost of sales. We took steps to manage our excess capacity, including the reduction in staffing


by 14%, with a further 12% reduction in April 2020 for a total reduction of 25% from prior year levels, and the undertaking of planned factory curtailments. The staffing reductions realigned our capacity with expected activity levels; however, our fixed costs willcontinued to affect our Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, which we expect to remain below historical percentages until sales improve. Between January and April 2020, we reduced our manufacturing workforce by 25% to bring labor capacity in line with expected ongoing requirements. In the first quarter of 2021, we experienced the full impact of the slowdown in non-residential construction activity on our business. Revenues in the second quarter of 2021 have returned to quarterly ranges experienced in the first half of 2020. 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. As a result, in the first quarter of 2021 we separately classified $1.8 million as costs related to our under-utilized capacity (6% first quarter and 2% for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 of gross profit margin) in cost of sales. In the second quarter of 2021, we did not have abnormal excess capacity as our workforce was better aligned with current production volumes.

Following the completion of third-partythird party testing in 2019, we determined that timber included in certain projects installed between 2016 and 2019 potentially did not meet the fire-retardant specifications under which the projects were sold. As a result, we recorded a $2.5 million provision in the fourth quarter of 2019 and began contacting customers to determine whether remedial actions are required. In the second quarter of 2020, we identified and validated an in-situ solution that we believe will meet the fire-retardant specification under which the projects were sold and accordingly reduced the associated provision to $1.3 million, which represents expected costs to prepare impacted sites and apply the in-situ solution. In the third quarter of 2020, we completed building code reviews of the affected projects and determined that the timber as installed met the requisite building code requirements as it related to fire retardance. 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. During the quartersix month period ended March 31,June 30, 2021, we incurred no costs (2020 – $0.1 million) associated with remediating previously installed timber projects.

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.

Revenue decreased in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 by $11.5$1.1 million or 28%2% compared to the same period of 2020. Revenue decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2021 by $12.6 million or 15% compared to the same period of 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 revenues have returned to quarterly ranges experienced in the first half of 2020 and have increased by $11.6 million from the first quarter of 2021. On a year-to-date basis, revenue decreased due to several factors as discussed above in “– Summary of Financial Results” and “– Outlook”. We believe the decrease principally reflects the severe economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020, including a major contraction in construction activity levels in North America due to work-from-home requirements, lock-down measures and other regulatory responses implemented by governments and public health officials. While we did not experience any material cancellations of projects that were underway at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is uncertain as to the impact of the pandemic on future projects that are either in the planning or conceptual stage. It is highly likely that future projects will also experience similar delays as the COVID-19 pandemic runs its course. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors”.

We are in the process of making substantial improvements to our commercial function, as outlined in our strategic plan, including building an appropriate organizational structure, improving the effectiveness of our existing sales force, attracting new sales talent, establishing strategic marketing and lead generation functions, as well as expanding and better supporting our Distribution Partner network. While we believe these actions are critical to driving long-term, sustainable growth, particularly as the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic commences, these actions did not have a measurable effect on 2021 revenues in light of the severe economic adversity caused by the pandemic.


Installation and other services revenue increased to $0.9was $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 compared to $0.7 $1.4 million and $2.1million in the same period of 2020.2020, respectively. 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,June 30, 2021, we had 6769 Distribution Partners servicing multiple locations. During 2020 and 2021, we made several changes and upgrades to our Distribution Partner network, expanding our relationships with new and existing partners and ending our relationships with others. Our clients, as serviced primarily through our Distribution Partners, exist within a variety of industries, including healthcare, education, financial services, government and military, manufacturing, non-profit, energy, professional services, retail, technology and hospitality.


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

Revenue decreased by 28%2% and 15% in the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 over the same period in 2020 and was driven primarily by decreased commercial sales. Commercial revenues decreased by 43%24% and 34%, respectively from the prior period, due largely to the severe impact of COVID-19 on commercial construction activities in North America. Similarly, education sales decreased by 57%38% and 47%, respectively from 2020 as most universities and private schools moved to on-line classes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During 2021, healthcare sales increased primarily reflecting increased activity levels with a large strategic health care provider and government revenues increased due to the timingdelivery of certain projects.COVID-19 vaccination trailers in the second quarter.

Historically, approximately 15-25% and 75-85% of revenues are derived from sales to Canada and the United States, respectively. In 2020 and 2021, revenues from Canada fell to 10% of total sales while sales to the United States increased to 90%., reflecting the impact of pandemic related restrictions on activity levels in the related jurisdictions.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.7increased by $1.4 million and $0.6 million to $6.7$7.6 million and $14.2 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively, from $7.4$6.2 million and $13.6 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020.June 30, 2020, respectively. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2021 wasincreases were largely related to a reductionincreased salary and wage expenses as we continue to build our sales organization, $0.6 million due to staff transferred from Technology and Development to Sales and Marketing and higher depreciation expense as we completed our Chicago DXC in 2020, offset by lower commission expense on lower revenues and lower travel,expense. Travel, meals and entertainment expenses due towere lower on a year-to-date basis, but increased quarter on quarter as restrictions on travel as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.have eased. 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. In light of uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have prioritized critical hires that are necessary to continue to advance our overall strategy, including the implementation of necessary systems and tools while ensuring appropriate cost control and cash conservation.

June 30, 2020, respectively.

For the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2021, the decreaseincrease was the result of lowerthe impact of the stronger Canadian dollar on our cost structure, higher salaries and benefits expenses, inclusive of a one-time severance cost, and professional fees, partially offset by decreased variable compensation costs. The six months ended June 30, 2021 increased for the same reasons as the second quarter partially offset by a reduction in professional service costs and a $0.6 million credit loss recorded in the first quarter of 2020 that was not repeated in 2021, partially offset by increased severance costs.2021.

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 $0.2by $0.1 million and $0.3 million to $2.3$2.2 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively, from $2.5$2.3 million and $4.8 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, respectively, due to reduced activity.higher capitalized labor associated with internal capital projects.

Technology and Development Expenses

Technology and development expenses relate to non-capitalizable costs associated with our product and software development teams and are primarily comprised of salaries and benefits of technical staff.

Technology and development expenses decreased by $0.2 million and $0.3 million to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $2.2and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $2.1 million and $4.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, primarily related to Technology and Development staff transferred to Sales and Marketing.

The increase was largely due to grants of restricted share units and deferred share units and fair value adjustments on cash settled awards as a result of share price appreciation during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 compared to a reduction in the prior year period.June 30, 2021.

Government Subsidies

During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company recorded $4.1$3.4 million and $7.5 million of government subsidies, respectively (2020 – $nil), of which $2.0$4.3 million (2020: $nil) were received duringfor both the period in addition to $1.7three and six month periods). Of these amounts, $2.5 million that was receivable at December 31, 2020.June 30, 2021 and is expected to be received in the third quarter of 2021.

As part of the Canadian federal government’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, the Canadian government established the CEWS, providesproviding 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 inenacted as part of 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 for qualifying properties, subject to certain maximums, starting onfor qualifying periods extending from 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.

Income Tax

The provision for income taxes is comprised of U.S. and Canadian federal, state and provincial taxes based on pre-tax income. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 was $0.04$0.2 million, compared to $0.1 million for the same period of 2020 and income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.3 million as compared to a $1.3$1.2 million recovery for the same period of 2020. We haveFor the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a valuation allowanceallowances of $2.8C$2.7 million and C$6.3 million, respectively 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,June 30, 2021, we had C$60.375.8 million of loss carry-forwards in Canada and none in the United States. These loss carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2032.

Net Loss

Net loss increased to $12.5 $9.7million or $0.15 $0.11net loss per share in the firstsecond quarter of 2021 from a net lossincome of $5.3$0.3 million or $0.06 net loss$0.00 per share for the firstsecond quarter of 2020. The increased loss is primarily the result of a $7.9$5.0 million decrease in gross profit, a $2.5$4.2 million net decreaseincrease in operating expenses, a $0.9 million reduction of government subsidies and a $0.7 increase in interest expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.9 million reduction in foreign exchange gains,losses.

Net loss increased to $22.2 million or $0.26net loss per share in the first half of 2021 from a $1.4net loss of $5.0 million or $0.06 per share for the first half of 2020. The increased loss is primarily the result of a $12.9 million decrease in gross profit, a $3.1 million increase in income tax expense andoperating expenses, a $0.6$1.6 million net increase in foreign exchange losses, a $1.2 million increase in net interest expense and a $1.5 million net increase in income tax expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.2$3.2 million decreaseincrease in operating expenses and $4.1 million of government subsidies in 2021.subsidies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31,June 30, 2021 totaled $58.7$58.3 million, an increase of $12.8$12.5 million from December 31, 2020. The increase in cash primarily reflects the impact of $29.5 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the Debentures in January 2021 and $8.4 million of drawings under our Leasing Facilities, offset by cash


used in operations of $12.1$11.9 million, and capital expenditures of $3.6$10.0 million and scheduled Leasing Facilities repayments of $0.8 million.


In 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$25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with RBC. Under the RBC Facility, the Borrowing Base is a maximum of 90% of investment grade or insured accounts receivable plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 75% of the book value of eligible inventory and 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims. Under the RBC Facility, at March 31,June 30, 2021 available borrowings are C$9.410.3 million or $7.5$8.3 million.

The Company has a C$5.0 million Canada Leasing Facility on which C$3.6 million ($2.6 million) of cash consideration has been drawn, and a $14.0 million U.S. Leasing Facility on which $3.5$11.9 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 expenditures and certain equipment expenditures already incurred. We anticipate drawing an additional threetwo to fourthree million on our Leasing Facilities during the second or third quarterremainder of 2021 primarily related to equipment purchases in the South Carolina Facility as commissioning activities are completed.2021.

In light of the uncertainty caused by the near and potential mid-term impacts of COVID-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 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 cash flow from operations, long-term debt, and cash on hand. We had no amounts outstanding under the RBC Facility as of March 31,June 30, 2021 and $5.8$14.9 million outstanding under the Leasing Facilities as of March 31,June 30, 2021.

Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $12.0 million used in operating activities was $12.1 million for the first threesix months ofended June 30, 2021 compared to $0.8$2.4 million and $1.6 million net cash flows used inprovided by operating activities in the first three monthssame periods of 2020. The decrease isin cash flows


from operations is largely due to a decrease in revenuesgross profit and a reduction in trade and other receivables and lower government subsidies, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and partially offset by the receipt of government subsidies and increases in customer deposits and deferred revenue.liabilities.

Investing Activities

We invested $2.9$5.8 million and $8.7 million in property, plant and equipment during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $1.6$3.2 million and $4.8 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2020.June 30, 2020, respectively. The increase is primarily due to capital investments in manufacturing facilities including the South Carolina Facility and our new Dallas DXC. We invested $0.7$0.6 million and $1.3 million on capitalized software during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, as compared to $1.0$0.9 million and $1.9 million in the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.

Financing Activities

For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, $29.3$7.3 million and $36.6 million of cash was provided by financing activities, respectively, mainly due to the proceeds received from the issuance of C$40.3 million of Debentures in January 2021.2021 and the receipt of $8.4 million of cash consideration under the U.S. Leasing Facility. Cash used inprovided by financing activities for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 was $nil.$2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, entirely comprised of draws under the Leasing Facilities.

We currently expect to fund anticipated future investments with available cash, including the proceeds from our issuance of Debentures, and drawings on our Leasing Facilities. We expect to draw approximately $11.0two to three million on our Leasing Facilities in the firstsecond half of 2021, of which $7.2 million was drawn in April 2021, financing the equipment purchases for our new South Carolina Facility that were largely paid for in installments in 2019 and 2020. Apart from cash flow from operations, issuing equity and debt has been our primary source of capital to date. Additional debt or equity financing may be pursued in the future as we deem appropriate. We may also use debt or pursue equity financing depending on the share price at the time, interest rates, and nature of the investment opportunity and economic climate.

Credit Facility

On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into the RBC Facility. Under the RBC Facility, the Borrowing Base is up to a maximum of 90% of investment grade or insured accounts receivable plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 75% of the book value of eligible inventory and 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims. At March 31,June 30, 2021 available borrowings are C$9.410.3 million ($7.58.3 million), of which no amounts have been drawn. Interest is calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 30 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 155 basis points. Under the 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 firstsecond quarter of 2021 which resulted in requiring the restriction of $1.1$2.8 million of cash. Should an event of default occur or the Aggregate Excess Availability be less than C$6.25 million for 5 consecutive business days, the Company would enter a cash dominion period whereby the Company’s bank accounts would be blocked by RBC and daily balances will set-off any borrowings and any remaining amounts made available to the Company.

During 2020, the Company entered into the Leasing Facilities, consisting of the C$5.0 million Canada Leasing Facility and the $14.0 million U.S. Leasing Facility with RBC, 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 4.50%5.77%. The U.S. Leasing Facility is amortized over a six-year term and is extendible at the Company’s option for an additional year.

The Company has drawn $3.5$11.9 million of cash consideration under the U.S. Leasing Facility and commenced the lease term in 2020 for the equipment at the South Carolina Facility. The Company has drawn C$3.6 million ($2.6


million) of cash consideration under the Canada Leasing Facility and commenced the lease term for the Canadian equipment expenditures during 2020.

We are restricted from paying dividends unless Payment Conditions (as defined in the RBC Facility) are met, including having a net borrowing availability of at least C$10 million over the proceeding 30 day period, and having a trailing twelve month fixed charge coverage ratio above 1.10:1 and certain other conditions

The RBC Facility is currently secured by substantially all of our real property located in Canada and the United States.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

We continue to pursue multiple lawsuits against our former founders, Mogens Smed and Barrie Loberg, and their new company Falkbuilt Ltd. (“Falkbuilt”), and other related individual and corporate defendants for violationviolations of fiduciary duties and non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in their 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, and their associates is currently comprised of threefour main lawsuits: (i) an action in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench instituted on May 9, 2019 against Falkbuilt, Messrs. Smed and Loberg, and several other former DIRTT employees alleging breaches of restrictive covenants, fiduciary duties, and duties of loyalty, fidelity and confidentiality, and the misappropriation of DIRTT’s confidential information (the “Canadian Non-Compete Case”); (ii) an action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Utah instituted on December 11, 2019 against Falkbuilt, Smed, and other individual and corporate defendants alleging misappropriation of DIRTT’s confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information and false advertising in violation of the United States Lanham Act, the Colorado Consumer Protection Act, and the Ohio Deceptive Trade Practices Act (the “U.S.“Utah 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®ICE® software (the “U.S. Patent“Patent Infringement Case”); and (iv) a new action instituted on June 24, 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas alleging that Falkbuilt has unlawfully used DIRTT’s confidential information in the United States and intentionally caused confusion in the United States in an attempt to steal customers, opportunities, and business intelligence, with the aim of establishing a competing business in the United States market (the “Texas Unfair Competition Case”).

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 successfulobtained a consent order forcing certain individuals, including defendants Smed and Loberg, to attend depositions beginning 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.September, 2021. 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.Case. 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.Utah Misappropriation Case, we are seekingthe court recently ruled that certain of our claims, particularly those against Falkbuilt and Mr. Smed (a Canadian corporation and Canadian resident, respectively), should be dismissed under the doctrine of to restrain the defendants from misappropriating our confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligenceforum non-conveniens. DIRTT disagrees with this decision, and customer information, and using that informationhas appealed to advance Falkbuilt’s U.S. business to our detriment. Falkbuilt had previously filed a countersuit against DIRTT alleging defamation and intentional interference with economic relations. On March 30, 2021, the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Northern District ofTenth Circuit. Notwithstanding this ruling, the Utah granted our motionMisappropriation Case continues against the remaining individual and corporate defendants, and we expect to dismiss those counterclaims, meaning that DIRTT is no longer a defendant by counterclaimbegin taking depositions 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.third quarter of 2021. 

In the U.S. Patent Infringement Case, we are seeking, among other things, an order enjoining Falkbuilt from infringing our patents and damages for past or continuing infringement. Falkbuilt is attempting to initiate an inter partes review and post grant review of DIRTT’s subject patents, and has filed a motion to stay the case pending resolution of these reviews. DIRTT has filed a motion opposing the stay, and believes that Falkbuilt’s actions are simply an attempt to delay the court proceedings.

In the Texas Unfair Competition Case, DIRTT alleges violations of the U.S. Lanham Act, the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act, the Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, the Pennsylvania Unform Trade Secrets Act, the Colorado Consumer Protection Act, and the Ohio Deceptive Practices Act, and is seeking preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to restrain Falkbuilt from using or disclosing DIRTT confidential business information in the United States, and awards of compensatory damages, exemplary damages, and attorneys’ fees.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our


Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on May 5, 2021, 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 the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. The extent to which COVID-19, or other public health pandemics or epidemics, impact our employees, operations, customers, suppliers and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic (and whether there is a resurgence or multiple resurgences of the virus in the future, including as a result of strain variations); the actions taken by governments and public health officials in response to the pandemic; the availability and effectiveness of vaccines, approvals thereof and the speed of vaccine distribution; the impact on construction activity; the effect on our 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 essential construction, we, and certain of our customers or suppliers, may be impacted by state or provincial actions, orders and policies regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, including temporary closures of non-life sustaining businesses, shelter-in-place orders, and travel, social distancing and quarantine policies, the implementation and enforcement of which may vary by individual jurisdictions. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity or results of operations.
