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 subsidiary (“DIRTT”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) is a leader in industrialized construction. DIRTT's system of physical products and digital tools empowers organizations, together with construction and design leaders, to build high-performing, adaptable, interior environments. Operating in the workplace, healthcare, education, and public sector markets, DIRTT’s system provides total design freedom, and greater certainty in cost, schedule, and outcomes.
DIRTT’s proprietary design integration software, ICE® (“ICE” or “ICE software”), translates the vision of architects and designers into a 3D model that also acts as manufacturing information. ICE is also licensed to unrelated companies and construction partners of the Company (“Construction Partners”), including Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (“AWI”), which owns a 50% interest in the rights, title and interests in certain intellectual property rights in a portion of the ICE software that is used by AWI.
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”. Effective October 12, 2023, DIRTT’s common shares ceased to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. DIRTT’s common shares are quoted on the OTC Markets on the “OTC Pink Tier” under the symbol “DRTTF.”
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, 2024, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2023, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company as filed with the SEC and applicable securities commission or similar regulatory authorities in Canada.
In these Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. DIRTT’s financial results are consolidated in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional currency, and the Company has adopted the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency. All references to US$ or $ are to U.S. dollars and references to C$ are to Canadian dollars.
Principles of consolidation
The Financial Statements include the accounts of DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. and its subsidiary. All intercompany balances, income and expenses, unrealized gains and losses and dividends resulting from intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
6
Basis of measurement
These Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments, assets held for sale and certain components of stock-based compensation that are measured at fair value. Historical cost is 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 customers’ construction projects can be influenced by a number of factors including the prevailing economic climate and weather.
3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”) further disaggregated information on an entity’s tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis with an option of retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.
Although there are several other new accounting standards issued or proposed by the FASB, 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.
4. REORGANIZATION AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Workforce Reductions
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, a review of our costs resulted in the decision to eliminate a number of salaried positions. These actions resulted in the Company incurring certain one-time termination costs. There were no restructuring costs associated with workforce reductions in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Temporary Suspension of Operations and Subsequent Closure at Rock Hill, South Carolina (the “Rock Hill Facility”)
On August 23, 2022, we announced the temporary suspension of operations at our Rock Hill Facility, shifting related manufacturing to our Calgary manufacturing facility. Costs associated with this idle facility, included in cost of sales, were $0.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 (2023 – $0.4 million).
On September 27, 2023, the Company decided to permanently close the Rock Hill Facility. Certain assets, including manufacturing equipment, which met held-for-sale criteria at that time were reclassified from property, plant and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $1.0 million of the assets held for sale were sold. At March 31, 2024, we determined to reduce the assets held for sale balance from $0.5 million to $nil, resulting in a $0.5 million impairment charge for the quarter. While we will continue to pursue a sale of the assets, we were not able to determine the likelihood of recoverability based on the current market interest in the equipment.

5. GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On February 15, 2024, the Company commenced a substantial issuer bid and tender offer (the “Issuer Bid”) pursuant to which the Company offered to repurchase for cancellation: (i) up to C$6.0 million principal amount of its issued and outstanding January Debentures (as defined in Note 8) at a purchase price of C$720 per C$1,000 principal amount of January Debentures, and (ii) up to C$9.0 million principal amount of its issued and outstanding December Debentures (as defined in Note 8), at a purchase price of C$600 per C$1,000 principal amount of December Debentures.
C$4.7 million ($3.5 million) aggregate principal amount of the January Debentures and C$5.8 million ($4.3 million) aggregate principal amount of December Debentures were validly deposited and not withdrawn at the expiration of the Issuer Bid on March 22, 2024, representing approximately 11.66% of the January Debentures and 16.50% of the December Debentures issued and outstanding at that time. The Company took up all the Debentures (as defined in Note 8) tendered pursuant to the Issuer Bid for aggregate consideration of C$7.0 million ($5.2 million) (comprised of C$6.9 million ($5.1 million) repayment on principal and interest of C$0.1 million ($0.1 million)).
In accordance with GAAP, it was determined that the C$6.9 million ($5.1 million) repayment on principal triggered an extinguishment of debt. The gain on extinguishment of C$3.9 million ($2.9 million) was calculated as the difference between the repayment and the net carrying value of the extinguished principal less unamortized issuance costs of C$0.4 million ($0.2 million) (refer to Note 8).
6. TRADE AND ACCRUED RECEIVABLES
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not require collateral and typically do not bear interest. The Company estimates an allowance for credit losses using the lifetime expected credit loss at each measurement date, taking into account historical credit loss experience as well as forward-looking information, in order to establish rates for each class of financial receivable with similar risk characteristics. Adjustments to this estimate are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
In order to manage and assess our risk, management maintains credit policies that include regular review of credit limits of individual receivables and systematic monitoring of aging of trade receivables and the financial wellbeing of our customers. In addition, we acquired trade credit insurance effective April 1, 2020. At March 31, 2024, approximately 97% of our trade accounts receivable are insured, relating to accounts receivable from counterparties deemed creditworthy by the insurer and excluding accounts receivable from government entities.
8
Our trade balances are spread over a broad Construction Partner base, which is geographically dispersed. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, one Construction Partner accounted for greater than 10% of revenue (one Construction Partner for the three months ended March 31, 2023). In addition, and where possible, we collect a 50% deposit on sales, excluding government and certain other clients.
The Company’s aged receivables were as follows :

No adjustment to our expected credit losses of $0.1 million was required for the three months ended March 31, 2024. 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.
On February 4, 2024, the Company entered into a Litigation Funding Agreement with a third party for the funding of up to $4.0 million of litigation costs in respect of specific claims against Falkbuilt, Inc., Falkbuilt Ltd. and Henderson. In return, the Company has agreed to pay from any proceeds received from the settlement of such claims, a reimbursement of funded amounts plus diligence and underwriting costs, plus a multiple of such funded amount based on certain milestones. As part of this agreement, the Company is subject to a general security arrangement over its assets.

Revolving Credit Facility
On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement governing a C$25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), as lender (the “RBC Facility”). Under the RBC Facility, the Company was able to borrow up to a maximum of 90% of investment grade or insured accounts receivable plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 75% of the book value of eligible inventory and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims (the “Borrowing Base”). Interest was 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), was 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 had been below 1.10:1 for the three immediately preceding months, the Company was required to maintain a reserve account equal to the aggregate of one year of payments on outstanding loans on the Leasing Facilities (defined below). Should an event of default have occurred or the Aggregate Excess Availability been less than C$6.25 million for five consecutive business days, the Company would have entered a cash dominion period whereby the Company’s bank accounts would have been blocked by RBC and daily balances would have offset any borrowings and any remaining amounts made available to the Company.
On February 9, 2023, the Company extended the RBC Facility (the “Extended RBC Facility”). The Extended RBC Facility had a borrowing base of C$15 million and a one-year term. Interest was calculated as at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) plus 200 basis points plus the Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in the amended loan agreement governing the Extended RBC Facility). Under the Extended RBC Facility, if the trailing twelve month FCCR was not above 1.25 for three consecutive months, a cash balance equivalent to one-year’s worth of Leasing Facilities payments was required to be maintained. Effective October 2023, inventory was scoped out of the Borrowing Base.
On February 9, 2024, the Company extended the Extended RBC Facility (the “Second Extended RBC Facility”). The Second Extended RBC Facility is subject to the borrowing base calculation to a maximum of C$15 million and a one-year term. Interest is calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA or Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, in each case plus 200 basis points. At March 31, 2024, available borrowings are C$10.1 million ($8.5 million) (December 31, 2023 – C$13.6 million ($10.3 million) of available borrowings), calculated in the same manner as the RBC Facility described above, of which no amounts have been drawn. The Second Extended RBC Facility removed the three-month FCCR
10
covenant, which resulted in the release of $0.1 million of restricted cash during the first quarter of 2024 (the Company had $0.4 million restricted cash as at December 31, 2023).
Leasing Facilities
The Company has a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada (the “Canada Leasing Facility”) of which C$4.4 million ($3.4 million) has been drawn and C$3.8 million ($2.9 million) has been repaid, and a $14.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States (the “U.S. Leasing Facility” and, together with the Canada Leasing Facility, the “Leasing Facilities”) with RBC, of which $13.3 million has been drawn and repaid. The Canada Leasing Facility has a seven-year term and bears interest at 4.25%. Refer to Note 4 on the decision to permanently close the Rock Hill Facility. As part of this decision, the Company fully settled the $7.8 million principal balance of the U.S. Leasing Facility in the fourth quarter of 2023. The U.S. Leasing Facility is no longer available to be drawn on.
The Company did not make any draws on the Canadian Leasing Facilities during the first quarter of 2024 (2023 – $nil). The associated financial liabilities are shown on the consolidated balance sheet in the current portion of longterm debt and accrued interest and long-term debt.
Convertible Debentures
On January 25, 2021, the Company completed a C$35.0 million ($27.5 million) bought-deal financing of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures with a syndicate of underwriters (the “January Debentures”). On January 29, 2021, the Company issued a further C$5.25 million ($4.1 million) of the January Debentures under the terms of an overallotment option granted to the underwriters. The January Debentures will mature and be repayable on January 31, 2026 (the “January Debentures Maturity Date”) and 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 until the January Debentures Maturity Date. Interest and principal are payable in cash or shares at the option of the Company. The January Debentures will be 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 January Debentures Maturity Date and the date specified by the Company for redemption of the January Debentures. Costs of the transaction were approximately C$2.7 million, including the underwriters’ commission. As a result of the Rights Offering (as defined herein) (refer to Note 14), the conversion price of the January Debentures was adjusted to C$4.03 per common share representing a conversion rate of 248.1390 common shares per C$1,000 principal amount. On March 22, 2024, the Company completed the Issuer Bid in which the Company repurchased for cancellation C$4.7 million ($3.5 million) of the principal balance of the January Debentures, and paid C$0.04 million ($0.03 million) of the interest payable on such January Debentures (refer to Note 5). As at March 31, 2024, C$35.6 million ($26.3 million) principal amount of the January Debentures was outstanding of which C$18.9 million ($13.9 million) was held by a related party (refer to Note 16).
On December 1, 2021, the Company completed a C$35.0 million ($27.4 million) bought-deal financing of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures with a syndicate of underwriters (the “December Debentures” and, together with the January Debentures, the “Debentures”). These December Debentures will mature and be repayable on December 31, 2026 (the “December Debentures Maturity Date”) and accrue interest at the rate of 6.25% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of June and December of each year commencing on June 30, 2022 until the December Debentures Maturity Date. Interest and principal are payable in cash or shares at the option of the Company. The December Debentures will be 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 December Debentures Maturity Date and the date specified by the Company for redemption of the December Debentures. Costs of the transaction were approximately C$2.3 million, including the underwriters’ commission. As a result of the Rights Offering (refer to Note 14), the conversion price of the December Debentures was adjusted to C$3.64 per common share representing a conversion rate of 274.7253 common shares per C$1,000 principal amount. On March 22, 2024, the Company completed the Issuer Bid in which the Company repurchased for cancellation C$5.8 million ($4.3 million) of the principal balance of the December Debentures and paid C$0.08 million ($0.06 million) of the interest payable on such December Debentures (refer to Note 5). As at March 31, 2024, C$29.2 million ($21.5 million) principal amount of the December Debentures was outstanding of which C$13.6 million ($10.0 million) was held by a related party (refer to Note 16).

9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In May 2020, shareholders approved the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 LTIP”). The 2020 LTIP replaced the predecessor incentive plans, being the Performance Share Unit Plan (“PSU Plan”) and the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (“Stock Option Plan”). Following the approval of the 2020 LTIP, no further awards will be made under either the Stock Option Plan or the PSU Plan, but both remain in place to govern the terms of any awards that were granted pursuant to such plans and remain outstanding.
In May 2023, shareholders approved the DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. Amended and Restated LongTerm Incentive Plan (the “2023 LTIP”) at the annual and special meeting of shareholders. The 2023 LTIP gives the Company the ability to award options, share appreciation rights, restricted share units, deferred share units, restricted shares, dividend equivalent rights, 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 2023 LTIP, the sum of (i) 12,350,000 common shares plus (ii) the number of common shares subject to stock options previously granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) that, following May 30, 2023, expire or are cancelled or terminated without having been exercised in full, have been reserved for issuance under the 2023 LTIP. Upon vesting of certain LTIP awards, the Company may withhold and sell shares as a means of meeting DIRTT’s tax withholding requirements in respect of the withholding tax remittances required in respect of award holders. To the extent the fair value of the withheld shares upon vesting exceeds the grant date fair value of the instrument, the excess amount is credited to retained earnings or deficit.
Deferred share units (“DSUs”) have historically been granted to non-employee directors under the Deferred Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors (as amended and restated, the “DSU Plan”) and settleable only in cash. The 2023 LTIP gives the Company the ability to settle DSUs in either cash or common shares, while consolidating future share-based awards under a single plan. The terms of the DSU Plan are otherwise materially unchanged as incorporated into the 2023 LTIP. Effective May 30, 2023, no new awards will be made under the DSU Plan, but awards previously granted under the DSU Plan will continue to be governed by the DSU Plan. DSUs are settled following cessation of services with the Company.

Restricted share units (time-based vesting)
Restricted share units that vest based on time have an aggregate time-based vesting period of three years and generally one-third of the RSUs vest every year over a three-year period from the date of grant (“RSUs”). At the end of a three-year term, the RSUs will be settled by way of the provision of cash or shares to employees (or a combination thereof), at the discretion of the Company. The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted in 2024 was C$0.50, which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on their respective grant dates.
Restricted share units (performance-based vesting)
During 2022 and 2021, restricted share units were granted to executives with service and performance-based conditions for vesting (the “PRSUs”). If the Company’s share price increases to certain values for 20 consecutive trading days, as outlined below, a percentage of the PRSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period.
The grant date fair value of the 2022 and 2021 PRSUs were valued using the Monte Carlo valuation method and determined to have a weighted average grant date fair value of C$1.87 and C$3.27, respectively.
Based on share price performance since the date of grant, 66.7% of the 2021 PRSUs vested on March 1, 2024, but none of the 2022 PRSUs will vest upon completion of the three-year service period.

Share awards
There were no share awards granted or vested during the first quarter of 2024.
In the first quarter of 2023, 36,254 Share Awards were issued to a consultant as compensation for services rendered. These Share Awards vested upon grant. The fair value of the Share Awards granted was C$0.49 ($0.34), which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date.
Performance share units
During the second quarter of 2023, certain executives were issued a strategic equity grant through Performance share units (“PSUs”). The performance period of the PSUs is from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026 with a cliff vesting term for December 31, 2026. 2,584,161 PSUs were granted and depending on the level of performance, the PSUs will vest 100%, 160% or 190% up to a maximum of 4,909,907 PSUs. Settlement will be made in the form of shares issued from treasury. The performance measures are a combination of Revenue and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and both targets have to be achieved. As of March 31, 2024, the fair value of these PSUs have been deemed to be nil based on the likelihood of achieving the targets compared to current results. During the third quarter of 2023, 738,553 PSUs with a $nil value were forfeited as a result of an executive departure and 1,845,608 PSUs with a $nil value are outstanding at March 31, 2024.
Deferred share units
Granted under the DSU Plan
The fair value of the DSU liability and the corresponding expense is charged to profit or loss at the grant date. Subsequently, at each reporting date between the grant date and settlement date, the fair value of the liability is remeasured with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss for the period. DSUs outstanding at March 31, 2024 had a fair value of $0.6 million which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet (December 31, 2023 – $0.5 million).
13
Granted under the 2023 LTIP
DSUs granted after May 30, 2023 (the “New DSUs”) will be settled by way of the provision of cash or shares (or a combination thereof) to the Directors, at the discretion of the Company. The Company intends to settle these DSUs through issuances of common shares. The weighted average fair value of the DSUs granted in 2024 was C$0.67 ($0.49), which was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. New DSUs outstanding at March 31, 2024 had a fair value of $0.8 million which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet (December 31, 2023 – $0.6 million).

Dilutive Instruments
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 0.2 million options, 3.8 million RSUs and PRSUs, 2.3 million New DSUs, 1.8 million PSUs and 96.7 million shares which would be issued if the principal amount of the Debentures were settled in our common shares at the quarter-end price and were included in the diluted EPS calculation. See Note 10 for the dilutive impact on net income (loss) per share.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, 1.1 million options, 1.5 million RSUs and PRSUs and 119.4 million shares which would have been issued if the principal amount of the Debentures were settled in our common shares at the quarter-end price were excluded in the diluted weighted average number of common shares calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive to the net loss per share.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
On November 21, 2023, the Company announced a Rights Offering (refer to Note 14) which distributed to holders of common shares, as of the close of business on December 12, 2023, transferable subscription rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 85,714,285 common shares at a subscription price of C$0.35 per common share (refer to Note 14). On January 9, 2024, the Company announced the completion of the Rights Offering, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 85,714,285 common shares. A retrospective adjustment is required on the calculation of net income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to account for the bonus factor that resulted from this event.

11. REVENUE
In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by performance obligation and timing of revenue recognition. All revenue comes from contracts with customers. See Note 12 for the disaggregation of revenue by geographic region.
| For the Three Months Ended March 31, | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Product | 34,876 | 31,481 |
| Transportation | 3,955 | 3,788 |
| License fees from Construction Partners | 208 | 207 |
| Total product revenue | 39,039 | 35,476 |
| Installation and other services | 1,808 | 1,232 |
| 40,847 | 36,708 |
DIRTT sells its products and services pursuant to fixed-price contracts which generally have a term of one year or less. The transaction price used in determining the amount of revenue to recognize from fixed-price contracts is based upon agreed contractual terms with each customer and is not subject to variability.
| For the Three Months Ended March 31, | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| At a point in time | 38,831 | 35,269 |
| Over time | 2,016 | 1,439 |
| 40,847 | 36,708 |
Revenue recognized at a point in time represents the majority of the Company’s sales. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains legal title to the product, which is when ownership of the product is transferred to, or services are delivered to, the customer. Revenue recognized over time is limited to installation and ongoing maintenance contracts with customers and is recorded as performance obligations which are satisfied over the term of the contract.
Contract Liabilities
| As at | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |
| Customer deposits | 2,533 | 5,290 | 4,458 |
| Deferred revenue | 547 | - | 408 |
| Contract liabilities | 3,080 | 5,290 | 4,866 |
Contract liabilities primarily relate to deposits received from customers and maintenance revenue from license subscriptions. The balance of contract liabilities was lower as at March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 mainly due to the timing of orders and payments. Contract liabilities as at December 31, 2023 and 2022 totaling $5.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, were recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the solution segment and decides how to allocate resources based on gross profit and net income (loss) that also is reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as consolidated gross profit and net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the solution segment or into other parts of the entity, such as to repay long-term debt.
Gross profit and net income (loss) are used to monitor budget versus actual results. The chief operating decision maker also uses net income (loss) in competitive analysis by benchmarking to DIRTT’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation. DIRTT has one reportable segment: Solutions. The solutions segment provides digital tools (access to ICE software) and physical products to create modular interior construction spaces for our customers.
