Boxlight faces Nasdaq delisting over equity shortfall

Boxlight Corp (NASDAQ:BOXL), a provider of educational technology solutions, received notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market on Monday, indicating that the company no longer meets the continued listing requirements. According to InvestingPro data, the company's financial health score is rated as "WEAK," with concerning metrics across growth, profitability, and cash flow measures. Specifically, Boxlight does not satisfy the financial benchmarks set by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b), which includes a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million, market value of listed securities of $35 million, or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recent fiscal year or two of the last three years.

According to its 2024 Annual Report, Boxlight reported negative stockholders’ equity of approximately $12.9 million at the end of December 2024, and net losses for the years 2023 and 2024. Additionally, the market value of Boxlight's listed securities fell short, with a consolidated closing bid price of the company's Class A Common Stock at $1.27 on April 4, 2025, amounting to a market value of approximately $2.83 million.

The notice from Nasdaq does not immediately affect Boxlight's listing status, allowing the company 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. Boxlight intends to present a compliance plan within the allotted timeframe and is exploring options to address the deficiency. If accepted, Nasdaq may grant Boxlight up to 180 days from April 7, 2025, to demonstrate compliance.

However, there is no guarantee that Nasdaq will accept Boxlight's compliance plan or that the company will meet the necessary financial conditions within the given period. Delisting could significantly impact the trading price and liquidity of Boxlight's Class A Common Stock and could hamper the company's ability to raise capital.

This development is based on a press release statement and forward-looking statements included in the release caution that there are no assurances regarding the acceptance of the compliance plan, the company's ability to regain compliance, or its ability to maintain its Nasdaq listing. The company's future actions and outcomes are subject to various risks and uncertainties beyond its control.

In other recent news, Boxlight Corporation reported mixed financial results for 2024. The company announced a decrease in consolidated net revenues to approximately $137.1 million, down from $176.7 million the previous year. Despite this decline, Boxlight anticipates an improvement in its operating loss, projecting it to be between $18.5 million and $19.5 million, compared to $26.3 million in 2023. The gross profit margin is estimated to be around 34.6%, slightly lower than the 35.8% reported in the prior year, while operating expenses are expected to significantly drop to between $66.0 million and $67.0 million from $89.6 million.

Additionally, Boxlight has announced a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its Class A common stock to comply with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. This reverse stock split will reduce the total number of authorized shares of Class A common stock from 18,750,000 to 3,750,000. The split is scheduled to take effect on February 14, 2025, with trading on a reverse split-adjusted basis beginning on February 18, 2025. Adjustments will be made to Boxlight's outstanding equity awards, equity incentive plans, existing agreements, and outstanding warrants. This move is part of Boxlight's efforts to maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
