Entered into a Definitive Agreement to Spin-off and Merge Inpixon’s SAVES UK Business with Damon Motors Inc.
Inpixon to Host a Conference Call at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time Today to Provide a Business Update and Presentation by Damon Motors Management
PALO ALTO, Calif., November 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Inpixon® (Nasdaq: INPX) today provided a business update and reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
“Over the last year we have been focused on identifying and executing on strategic opportunities that we believe will drive value for our shareholders,” commented Nadir Ali, CEO of Inpixon. “In this regard, we made significant progress during the third quarter and over recent weeks. Specifically, we have entered into two definitive agreements with innovative transportation companies, both of which we believe are disruptors within their respective industries. We believe these transactions will be transformational for Inpixon and our shareholders, providing the opportunity to be stockholders in two separate, publicly traded companies, each of which we believe can provide a meaningful opportunity to maximize shareholder value over time.
“Our proposed merger with XTI Aircraft Company (“XTI Aircraft”), an innovative aviation company, is progressing as anticipated. XTI Aircraft is developing the TriFan 600, a fixed-wing, vertical lift crossover airplane (VLCA), which has the potential to revolutionize point-to-point air travel by combining the comfort, speed, and range of a conventional business aircraft with the flexibility, convenience, and pinpoint landing ability of a helicopter. XTI Aircraft currently has over 700 conditional pre-orders1, representing the potential for gross revenues of more than $7.0 billion2. Upon completion of the merger, Inpixon is anticipated to be renamed XTI Aerospace, will trade under the new ticker symbol XTIA, and will be led by a new senior management team and board of directors. The S-4 registration statement filed in connection with the XTI transaction was declared effective by the SEC yesterday, and the related shareholder meeting has been scheduled for December 8th, 2023. We anticipate closing this transaction during the fourth quarter of 2023 and will continue to provide updates as material developments unfold.
“In addition, we recently announced the planned spin-off of our newly formed subsidiary Grafiti Holding, which will hold our UK SAVES business, and the proposed subsequent business combination of Grafiti and Damon Motors Inc. (“Damon”), a British Columbia company, and the maker of the acclaimed HyperSport electric motorcycle. The Damon HyperSport is expected to be one of the safest, smartest, and most powerful motorcycles available in the market, and Damon has already obtained approximately $85 million in pre-production consumer reservations for its motorcycles. These advanced reservation orders demonstrate the high demand for an innovative motorcycle that combines performance, safety and sustainability. Upon completion of the merger, Grafiti will be renamed to a name selected by Damon and Damon’s management team and board of director designees will continue to serve as the management and board of directors of the combined company, with one board designee appointed by Grafiti. The registration statement in connection with the spinoff was confidentially filed with the SEC yesterday. We expect this transaction to close during the first quarter of 2024.
“During the third quarter, we also continued transforming our real-time location system (RTLS) business from one-time sales to recurring, higher-margin subscription sales, which resulted in improved gross margin for the quarter. In turn, this should help drive improved operating results going forward. We incurred meaningful transaction-related costs associated with the two transactions, however, we remain focused on carefully managing expenses. We ended the quarter with over $13.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023. Overall, we are proud of the progress made to date and encourage all investors and interested parties to participate in the business update presentation this afternoon, which will include a recap of Inpixon’s developments as well as an overview of Damon, provided by its management team,” concluded Mr. Ali.
Footnotes:
1 Conditional pre-orders refers to a combination of aircraft purchase agreements, non-binding reservation deposit agreements, options and letters of intent from potential purchasers.
2 Based on XTI’s current list price of $10 million per aircraft and assuming XTI is able to execute on the development program for the TriFan 600, secure FAA certification, and deliver the aircraft.
Financial Results
Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $2.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively, compared to $2.4 million and $7.7 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in the prior year. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in Indoor Intelligence sales due to longer sales cycles. Gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $1.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively, compared to $1.7 million and $5.3 million for the 2022 respective periods. The gross profit margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was 78% and 77%, compared to 69% and 69% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. This increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to the lower cost of revenues on the SAVES and indoor intelligence product lines.
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $10.6 million and $7.1 million for the comparable period ended September 30, 2022. This increase of approximately $3.5 million is primarily attributable to the acquisition and transaction costs incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $29.5 million and $25.8 million for the comparable period ended September 30, 2022. This increase of $3.7 million is primarily attributable to the acquisition costs and transaction costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 offset by the $2.0 million of goodwill impairment in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $10.8 million compared to $10.9 million for the comparable period in the prior year. Net loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $30.5 million compared to $27.1 million for the comparable period in the prior year. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a loss of $4.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively, compared to a loss of $1.4 million and $9.4 million for the prior year periods, respectively. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before interest, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization plus adjustments for other income or expense items, non-recurring items and non-cash items including stock-based compensation.
Proforma non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a loss of $0.08 and $0.60, respectively, compared to a loss of $0.84 and $4.78 for the prior year periods. Non-GAAP net loss per share is defined as net loss per basic and diluted share adjusted for non-cash items including stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and one-time charges and other adjustments including impairment of goodwill, unrealized and realized gains and losses on equity securities, and acquisition costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management believes that certain financial measures not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") are useful measures of operations. EBIDTA, Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma net loss per share are non-GAAP measures. Inpixon defines "EBITDA" as net income (loss) before interest, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a metric for which it manages the business, and Inpixon defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA plus adjustments for other income or expense items, non-recurring items and non-cash items. Inpixon defines "pro forma net loss per share" as GAAP net loss per share adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and one-time charges including impairment of goodwill and gain or loss on equity securities.
Management provides Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma net loss per share measures so that investors will have the same financial information that management uses, which may assist investors in assessing Inpixon's performance on a period-over-period basis. Adjusted EBITDA or pro forma net loss per share is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of performance under GAAP, or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma net loss per share have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Inpixon's results as reported under GAAP.
For more information on our non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures, please see the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table accompanying this press release.
