Overview
We are a leading global marketing engineering firm for some of the world's most marketing intensive companies, including those listed in the Fortune 1000. As a comprehensive outsourced global solution, we leverage proprietary technology, an extensive supplier network and deep domain expertise to streamline the creation, production and distribution of marketing and promotional materials, signage and displays, retail experiences, events and promotions and product packaging across every major market worldwide. The items we source generally are procured through the marketing supply chain and we refer to these items collectively as marketing materials. Through our network of global suppliers, we offer a full range of fulfillment and logistics services that allow us to procure marketing materials of virtually any kind. The breadth of our product offerings and services and the depth of our supplier network enable us to fulfill the marketing materials procurement needs of our clients.
We generate revenue by procuring and purchasing marketing materials from our suppliers and selling those products to our clients. We procure products for clients across a wide range of industries, such as retail, financial services, hospitality, consumer packaged goods, non-profits, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, broadcasting, and cable and transportation.

Key Performance Metrics
We regularly review a number of key metrics to evaluate our business, measure progress and make strategic decisions. The measures include Revenue, Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA. For additional discussion, see Key Components of Statement of Operations and Non-GAAP Financial Measures sections below.
Key Components of Statement of Operations
Revenue
We generate revenue through the procurement of marketing materials for our clients. Our revenue consists of the prices paid to us by our clients for marketing materials. These prices, in turn, reflect the amounts charged to us by our suppliers plus our gross profit. Our gross profit margin may be fixed by contract or may depend on prices negotiated on a job-by-job basis. Once the client accepts our pricing terms, the selling price is established, and we arrange shipment of the product. The product is shipped directly from our supplier or from our warehouse to a destination specified by our client. The client is invoiced upon shipment or receipt, depending on contract terms, for the product as well as shipping and handling.
We agree to provide our clients with marketing materials that conform to the industry standard of a "commercially reasonable quality," and our suppliers in turn agree to provide us with products of the same quality. In addition, the quotes we execute with our clients include customary industry terms and conditions that limit the amount of our liability for product defects. Product defects have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations to date.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Our cost of goods sold consists of the price at which we purchase products from our suppliers, facility costs, and personnel costs for creative design services and warehousing. We procure product for our own account and generally take full title and risk of loss upon shipment.
Our gross profit is determined by the selling prices of the product and shipping charges less the cost of the product, direct personnel, warehousing, and shipping and handling costs.
24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating Expenses and Loss from Operations
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of compensation costs for our management team, client engagement personnel, production managers, corporate functions and operational support employees, as well as commissions paid to our account executives. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses include public company expenses, facilities fees, travel and entertainment expenses, corporate systems fees, and legal and accounting fees.
We accrue for commissions when we recognize the related revenue. Some of our account executives receive a monthly draw to provide them with a more consistent income stream. The cash paid to our account executives in advance of commissions earned is reflected as a prepaid expense on our balance sheet. As our account executives earn commissions, a portion of their commission payment is withheld and offset against their prepaid commission balance, if any.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA, which represents loss from operations with the addition of
depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, goodwill and
long-lived asset impairment charges, restructuring charges, various one-time
professional fees, executive search expenses, and other charges itemized in the
reconciliation table noted within Note 14, Business Segments, is considered a
non-GAAP financial measure under
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted diluted earnings per share, which represents net loss, with the
addition of exclusive items that are non-recurring to our operating business,
divided by the weighted average shares outstanding plus share equivalents that
would arise from the exercise of stock options and restricted stock and other
contingently issuable shares, is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under

Liquidity and Capital Resources
While uncertainty exists as to the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our liquidity and capital resources, the Company believes it has maintained sufficient liquidity to satisfy our working capital and other funding requirements with internally generated cash flow and, as necessary, cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In order to ensure adequate liquidity under a range of economic scenarios, we are currently evaluating the possibility of securing additional financing, which may include participation in lending programs established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.
