- Adjusted EBITDA of $1,995, compared to $1,395 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined below.
Scott Switzer, the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Year-over-year adjusted EBITDA improved 43% driven by modest revenue growth and continued discipline managing expenses. We were able to partially fulfill the backlog in the fourth quarter and still closed out the year with a healthy $4.5 million backlog. As the majority of our end users are in retail, uncertainty due to inflation and rising interest rates created a softening in demand late in the year, with some retailors fearing a potential future economic slowdown. We are confident in our team and our strategy and excited about the opportunities ahead."
Sarah Ryder, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, went on to say, "We have made significant headway lowering our costs to improve future results, reducing operating expenses by 6% in 2022 during an elevated inflationary period. The reduction was due in part to the closure of our Duarte and Glendale offices in 2022. The company continues to evaluate what further actions are required to drive profitability, and made the decision not to renew the lease for its San Diego facility which terminates this month. Centralizing manufacturing operations in our Coppell, Texas facility provides future operational expense savings and cost synergies. Our focus remains on reducing leverage and maximizing shareholder value."
The Company's independent auditors completed their analysis of the Company's financial condition. The Independent Auditor's Review Report, including financial statements and applicable footnote disclosures, is available on our website at www.costartechnologies.com.
