Net cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023, are approximately $1.5 million. The Company’s secured revolving credit facility with Pinnacle Bank has approximately $1.2 million available as of September 30, 2023. Total cash and borrowing availability is approximately $2.7 million as of September 30, 2023. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net cash used in operating activities improved in the third quarter when compared to the net cash used of $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
The Company believes by implementing its strategic plan for 2024, including the continued realization of cost savings from the synergies of its acquisitions completed in 2023, that it expects to be cash flow neutral in the latter half of 2024.
“We continued to see momentum in our business in the third quarter as we continue to benefit from the focused commercial strategy that we implemented earlier this year to accelerate revenue growth and establish new customer partnerships,” said Max Munn, CEO of Applied UV. “We remain focused on delivering the safest and most innovative air quality and specialty building solutions and we are encouraged by our customer engagements as we gain momentum from new products such as Airocide™ Pro and Fighter Flex coil disinfection system. Our initiatives to improve operational execution and efficiency, combined with our cost reduction actions completed in the second quarter, positions us well to drive improved operating performance and we plan to provide more detail on our earnings call in mid-November. We remain confident in our strategy and the long-term trends that fuel our business.”
The expected third quarter 2023 results set out above are still preliminary and subject to the Company’s quarter-end closing procedures. The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three months ended, September 30, 2023, are not yet available. Accordingly, the information presented herein reflects the Company’s preliminary estimates subject to the completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures and any adjustments that may result from the completion of the quarterly review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As a result, these preliminary estimates may differ from the actual results that will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the third quarter when they are completed and publicly disclosed. These preliminary estimates may change, and those changes may be material. The Company’s expectations with respect to its unaudited results for the period discussed above are based upon management estimates.
The preliminary full year 2023 revenue outlook estimates described above are based on information available to management as of the date of this report, and as a result, these expectations could change.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Operating Profit (Loss), excluding Depreciation and Amortization, and excluding Stock Based Compensation and Loss on Impairment of Goodwill/Intangible Assets. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this measure generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
