Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

In September 2018, NTN Buzztime, Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) entered into loan and security agreement with Avidbank (the “Original LSA”) under which we borrowed a $4,000,000 term loan. On March 12, 2020, we entered into an amendment to the Original LSA (as amended, the “LSA”). In connection with entering into the amendment, we made a $433,000 payment on our term loan, which includes the $83,333 monthly principal payment plus accrued interest for March 2020 and a $350,000 principal prepayment, thereby reducing the outstanding principal balance of our term loan to $2.0 million. Under the terms of the amendment, the minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, covenant in the Original LSA was replaced with a monthly minimum asset coverage ratio covenant, which we refer to as the ACR covenant, and the minimum liquidity covenant in the Original LSA was amended to provide that the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash we have in deposit accounts or securities accounts maintained with Avidbank must be at all times not less than the principal balance outstanding under our term loan. Under the ACR covenant, the ratio of (i) our unrestricted cash at Avidbank as of the last day of a calendar month plus 75% of our outstanding accounts receivable accounts that are within 90 days of invoice date to (ii) the outstanding principal balance of our term loan on such day must be no less than 1.25 to 1.00. The amendment also changed the maturity date of our term loan from September 28, 2022 to December 31, 2020, and commencing on April 30, 2020, we must make principal plus accrued interest payments on the last day of each month, such that all amounts owed under the LSA will be repaid by December 31, 2020. The principal payment we must make each month will be $125,000 for each of April, May and June, $300,000 for each of July, August, September, October and November, and $125,000 for December.

 

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

NTN Buzztime, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Results

 

CARLSBAD, Calif., March 17, 2020, — NTN Buzztime, Inc. (NYSE American: NTN), reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Allen Wolff, CEO, said, “During the fourth quarter, we gained traction with Buzztime Basic, our lighter mobile-based, in-venue solution that complements our full featured Buzztime Elite offering, and we shipped the first installment of a substantial hardware contract. Our programmatic advertising continues to grow and augment our subscription revenue. We are proud 2019 closed with these significant operational accomplishments and our fourth consecutive year of positive EBITDA.”

 

“In January 2020, we seized the opportunity to monetize a non-core business and sold our hosted-events asset. We will continue to explore all types of go-to-market partnerships and to prioritize our most compelling opportunities to leverage our foundation for scalable growth. The economic and market conditions throughout the United States and the world have been dynamic and evolving as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its effect on the restaurant and bar industry has been rapid, and its scope and magnitude is uncertain. We will continue to monitor the situation and evaluate steps we can take to respond to its effects. In 2020, we will remain focused on growing our digital entertainment and hardware businesses in an efficient manner and are evaluating financing alternatives to better position us to do so.”

 

Financial Results

 

Fourth quarter 2019 total revenues were $5.2 million, compared to $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2019 and $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The fourth quarter 2019 recorded increased hardware revenue compared to prior periods. Revenue for 2019 was $19.8 million, compared to $23.3 million in 2018. As anticipated, 2019 results reflected lower subscription and advertising revenue due to reduced site count, which, taking into account the fourth quarter departure of Buffalo Wild Wings venues, was 1,440 at December 31, 2019.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2019, Buzztime received from Buffalo Wild Wings a substantial number of tablets with Buzztime’s new technology for only the cost of shipping, enabling the company to write off its older tablets. Fourth quarter 2019 direct costs were $2.9 million, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2018. Fourth quarter 2019 gross margin was 43%, compared to 65% for the same period in 2018. The increase in direct costs and the decrease in gross margin were both primarily attributable to higher equipment expense related to increased hardware sales and a $676,000 write-down associated with older tablets and related cases. Full year 2019 gross margin was 62%, compared to 65% for 2018. Although revenue mix will continue to result in margin fluctuations, the company continues to seek to optimize gross margin and anticipates it will be higher in future quarters than the fourth quarter of 2019.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense was $2.9 million and $13.2 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, decreasing from $3.4 million and $14.5 million for the same periods in 2018, respectively. The reduction reflects management’s efforts to lower operating expenses.

 

For the fourth quarter 2019, net loss attributable to common shareholders was $1.3 million, or $0.45 per share, compared to a net income attributable to common shareholders of $44,000, or $0.02 per share, in the prior year quarter. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $2.1 million, or $0.72 per share, compared to $275,000, or $0.10 per share, for 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

For the fourth quarter 2019, the company had negative EBITDA of $557,000, compared to positive EBITDA of $732,000 in the prior year quarter. For the year, EBITDA was $1.1 million in 2019, compared to $2.8 million in 2018.

 

 
 

 

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Although EBITDA was positive for the full year, it may not be positive in future years. A detailed description and reconciliation of EBITDA and management’s reasons for using this measure is set forth at the end of this press release.

 

Liquidity

 

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $3.4 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $2.8 million at December 31, 2018. For 2019, cash flow from operations was $2.7 million, increasing from $1.4 million in 2018.

Forward-looking Statements

 

This release contains forward-looking statements that reflect management’s current views of future events and operations, including that we will continue to explore all types of go-to-market partnerships and to prioritize our most compelling opportunities to leverage our foundation for scalable growth, that we will continue to monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluate steps we can take to response thereto, that we will remain focused on growing our digital entertainment and hardware businesses in an efficient manner, and that we anticipate gross margin will be higher in future quarters than the fourth quarter of 2019.

All forward-looking statements included in this release are based on information available to us on the date hereof. These statements speak only as of the date hereof and NTN Buzztime, Inc. does not undertake to publicly update or revise any of its forward-looking statements, even if experience or future changes show that the indicated results or events will not be realized.

RECONCILIATION of GAAP TO NON-GAAP

(In thousands)

 

A schedule reconciling the Company’s consolidated net (loss) income calculated in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA is included in the supplemental table below. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with GAAP, nor should EBITDA be considered as an alternative to statements of cash flows as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is included herein because the Company believes it is a measure of operating performance that financial analysts, lenders, investors and other interested parties find to be a useful tool for analyzing companies like Buzztime that carry significant levels of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges in comparison to their net income or loss calculation in accordance with GAAP.

 

The following table reconciles our net (loss) income per GAAP (in thousands) to EBITDA:
