Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management uses financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, in addition to financial measures in accordance with GAAP to evaluate our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that we exclude. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income excluding: (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) amortization of intangible assets, (v) stock-based compensation expense, and (vi) additional infrequently occurring adjustments described in more detail below.

The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, for the periods presented:

Management Commentary

Mike Dennison, FOX’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We delivered on our financial commitments with sales and earnings per share in line with our guidance. Our end markets remain uneven and challenging to navigate, and we expect that backdrop to continue as we move into 2025. Given the market instability, we remain focused on the more controllable elements of the business through operational improvements and strategic cost management initiatives. Our decisive actions to improve working capital, strengthen OE partnerships and dealer relationships, and streamline operations are beginning to yield results demonstrated by sequential EBITDA margin improvements in our PVG and AAG segments and in our balance sheet. Combined, these actions improved cash generation allowing us to pay down our debt balance by $63 million in the fourth quarter. Our broader cost and operational initiatives are progressing well, with benefits beginning to flow through toward our $25 million target. As we navigate through uneven end market conditions in 2025, we are committed to delivering improvements in both EBITDA margins and free cash flow generation through our focus on operational excellence and network optimization.”

Fourth
Quarter 2024 Results

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 were $352.8 million, an increase of 6.1%, as compared to net sales of $332.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. This increase reflects a $31.1 million or 33.3% increase in Specialty Sports Group (“SSG”), partially offset by a $8.6 million or 7.1% decrease in Aftermarket Applications Group (“AAG”) and a $2.2 million or 1.8% decrease in Powered Vehicles Group (“PVG”). The increase in SSG net sales from $93.4 million to $124.5 million is primarily related to the inclusion of a full-quarter net sales of $41.5 million from Marucci, which we acquired in November 2023, compared to net sales of $16.8 million included in prior year, and a $6.4 million increase in bike sales. Although bike sales improved compared to prior year, the ongoing channel inventory recalibration and, to a lesser extent, lower end consumer demand remain headwinds. The decrease in AAG net sales from $120.8 million to $112.2 million in the prior year period was driven by lower upfitting sales due to product mix, chassis availability, higher interest rates impacting dealers and consumers, and higher inventory levels at dealerships; however, the segment generated growth of 11.9% on a sequential basis from third quarter reflecting the Company’s strategic initiatives to improve performance. The decrease in PVG net sales from $118.3 million to $116.2 million is primarily due to lower industry demand in power sports and automotive because of higher interest rates and higher inventory levels.

Gross margin was 28.9% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, a 120-basis point increase from gross margin of 27.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to amortization of acquired inventory valuation markup from the Marucci acquisition in prior year, which was fully recognized by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and did not impact the current year’s fourth quarter. Adjusted gross margin, which excludes the effects of amortization of acquired inventory valuation markup and organizational restructuring expenses, increased 20 basis points to 29.2% from the same prior fiscal year period.

Total operating expenses were $90.6 million, or 25.7% of net sales, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $81.0 million, or 24.4% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Operating expenses increased by $9.6 million primarily driven by the recognition of a full quarter of Marucci operating expenses following the November 2023 acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in other acquisition and integration-related expenses. Adjusted operating expenses were $76.4 million, or 21.7% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $68.5 million, or 20.6% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Tax benefit was $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to tax benefit of $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease in the Company’s income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income.

Net loss attributable to FOX stockholders in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $0.1 million, compared to net income attributable to FOX stockholder of $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. Loss per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $0.00, compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.10 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $12.8 million, or $0.31 of adjusted earnings per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $20.3 million, or $0.48 of adjusted earnings per diluted share, in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $40.4 million, compared to $38.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was 11.5%, compared to 11.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Fiscal 2024 Results

Net sales for the year ended January 3, 2025, were $1,393.9 million, a decrease of 4.8% compared to fiscal 2023. This decrease reflects a $129.6 million or 23.5% decrease in AAG net sales and a $62.5 million or 11.9% decrease in PVG net sales, partially offset by a $121.9 million or 31.3% increase in SSG net sales. The decrease in AAG net sales from $551.1 million to $421.5 million is driven by lower upfitting sales due to product mix, chassis availability, higher interest rates impacting dealers and consumers, and higher inventory level at dealerships. The decrease in PVG net sales from $523.9 million to $461.4 million is primarily due to lower industry demand in power sports and automotive because of higher interest rates and higher inventory levels. The increase in SSG sales from $389.2 million to $511.1 million is related to the inclusion of a full-year net sales from Marucci, partially offset by a reduction in bike sales which reflects the industry’s ongoing channel inventory recalibration and, to a lesser extent, lower end-consumer demand.

Gross margin was 30.4% in fiscal year 2024, a 130-basis point decrease, compared to gross margin of 31.7% in fiscal year 2023. The decrease in gross margin for the fiscal year 2024 was primarily driven by shifts in our product line mix and operating leverage on lower volume. Adjusted gross margin, excluding the effects of the amortization of an acquired inventory valuation markup and organizational restructuring expenses, was 30.8% in fiscal year 2024, a 200-basis point decrease, compared to 32.8% in the fiscal year 2023.

Total operating expenses were $365.9 million, or 26.3% of net sales, for fiscal year 2024, compared to $304.7 million, or 20.8% of net sales in fiscal year 2023. Operating expenses increased by $61.2 million primarily due to the inclusion of Marucci operating expenses of $78.7 million, partially offset by cost controls. Adjusted operating expenses were $310.9 million, or 22.3% of net sales in fiscal year 2024, compared to $268.1 million, or 18.3% of net sales, in the prior fiscal year.

Net income attributable to FOX stockholders in fiscal year 2024 was $6.6 million, compared to $120.8 million in the prior fiscal year. Earnings per diluted share for fiscal year 2024 was $0.16, compared to $2.85 in the same period of fiscal 2023. Adjusted net income in fiscal year 2024 was $55.4 million, or $1.33 of adjusted earnings per diluted share, compared to $167.5 million, or $3.95 of adjusted earnings per diluted share in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $167.0 million in fiscal year 2024, compared to $261.0 million in fiscal year 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin decrease to 12.0% in fiscal year 2024, compared to 17.8% in fiscal year 2023.

Reconciliations to non-GAAP measures are provided at the end of this press release.

Balance Sheet Summary

As of January 3, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $71.7 million, compared to $83.6 million as of December 29, 2023. Inventory was $404.7 million as of January 3, 2025, compared to $371.8 million as of December 29, 2023. As of January 3, 2025, accounts receivable and accounts payable were $165.8 million and $144.1 million, respectively, compared to $171.1 million and $104.2 million, respectively, as of December 29, 2023. Prepaids and other current assets were $85.4 million as of January 3, 2025, compared to $141.5 million as of December 29, 2023. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was driven by the Marzocchi acquisition, debt payments, and capital expenditures, partially offset by a decrease in prepaids and other current assets driven by lower chassis deposits due to inventory optimization efforts. Inventory increased by $32.9 million driven by higher raw materials and finished goods due to an imbalance in expected versus fulfilled orders and an intentional build of high moving stocking units in our aftermarket businesses to fulfill demand during the holiday selling period. The change in accounts receivable is due to higher sales in fiscal quarter ended January 3, 2025 compared to fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2023. The change in accounts payable reflects the timing of vendor payments. Total debt was $705.1 million as of January 3, 2025, an improvement of $38.4 million compared to $743.5 million in the prior year period ended December 29, 2023, and a $63.3 million improvement versus third quarter ended September 27, 2024. Working capital improvements, especially the reduction in chassis prepayments, drove debt paydown as we continue to focus on generating free cash flow to reduce debt and interest expense.

Fiscal
2025
Guidance

For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company expects net sales in the range of $320 million to $350 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.12 to $0.32.

For the fiscal year 2025, the Company expects net sales in the range of $1.385 billion to $1.485 billion, adjusted earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.60 to $2.60, and a full year adjusted tax rate in the range of 15% to 18%.

Guidance does not include any effects from the ongoing tariff developments. Adjusted earnings per diluted share exclude the following items net of applicable tax: amortization of purchased intangibles, litigation and settlement-related expenses, acquisition and integration-related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses, and strategic transformation costs. A quantitative reconciliation of adjusted earnings per diluted share for the first quarter and full fiscal year 2025 is not available without unreasonable efforts because management cannot predict, with sufficient certainty, all of the elements necessary to provide such a reconciliation. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”), FOX is including in this press release certain non-GAAP financial measures consisting of “adjusted gross profit,” “adjusted gross margin,” “adjusted operating expense,” “adjusted operating expense margin”, “adjusted net income,” “adjusted earnings per diluted share,” “adjusted EBITDA,” and “adjusted EBITDA margin,” all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. FOX defines adjusted gross profit as gross profit adjusted for the amortization of acquired inventory valuation markups and cost of good sold associated with organizational restructuring. Adjusted gross margin is defined as adjusted gross profit divided by net sales. FOX defines adjusted operating expense as operating expense adjusted for amortization of purchased intangibles, litigation and settlement-related expenses, acquisition and integration-related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses, and certain strategic transformation costs. FOX defines adjusted operating expense margin as adjusted operating expense divided by net sales. FOX defines adjusted net income as net income attributable to FOX stockholders adjusted for amortization of purchased intangibles, litigation and settlement-related expenses, acquisition and integration-related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses, and strategic transformation costs, all net of applicable tax. Adjusted earnings per diluted share is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding during the period. FOX defines adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest expense, net other expense, income taxes or tax benefits, amortization of purchased intangibles, depreciation, stock-based compensation, litigation and settlement related expenses, organizational restructuring expenses, acquisition and integration-related expenses and strategic transformation costs that are more fully described in the tables included at the end of this press release. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. These adjustments are more fully described in the tables included at the end of this press release. Amounts related to non-controlling interest are excluded from all adjusting items.

FOX includes these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with additional insight on the Company’s operating performance and trends, as well as to supplement their understanding of the results of our core operations. In particular, the exclusion of certain items in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures consisting of adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expense, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA (and accordingly, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expense margin, adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA margin) can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core business. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, including the fact that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies because other companies may calculate adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expense, adjusted operating expense margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin differently than FOX does. For more information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables included at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics

To supplement AvePoint’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses (including percentage of revenue figures), non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin, and key metrics include annual recurring revenue, dollar-based gross retention rate, and dollar-based net retention rate. The company has included a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. The company believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures provides a better representation as to its overall operating performance. The presentation of AvePoint’s non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for its financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and AvePoint’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Annual Recurring Revenue. This metric is calculated as the annualized sum of contractually obligated Annual Contract Value (“ACV”) from SaaS, term license and support, and maintenance revenue sources from all active customers at the end of a reporting period. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or replace these items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, and the active contracts used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers. The company believes this metric further enables measurement of its business performance, is an important metric for financial forecasting and better enables strategic decision making. Because this metric does not have the effect of providing a numerical measure that is different from any comparable GAAP measure, the company does not consider it a non-GAAP measure.

Dollar-based Gross Retention Rate. This metric is calculated by starting with the ARR from all active customers as of 12 months prior to such period end, or Prior Period ARR. The company then calculates ARR from these same customers as of the current period end, or Current Period ARR. Current Period ARR includes net contraction or attrition over the last 12 months but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. The company then divides the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the dollar-based gross retention rate. The company uses this metric as a measure of its ability to retain existing customers, and believes it is useful to investors for the same reason. Because this metric does not have the effect of providing a numerical measure that is different from any comparable GAAP measure, the company does not consider it a non-GAAP measure.

Dollar-based Net Retention Rate. This metric is calculated by starting with the ARR from all active customers as of 12 months prior to such period end, or Prior Period ARR. The company then calculates ARR from these same customers as of the current period end, or Current Period ARR. Current Period ARR includes net expansion over the last 12 months but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. The company then divides the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the dollar-based net retention rate. The company uses this metric as a measure of its ability to expand business with existing customers, and believes it is useful to investors for the same reason. Because this metric does not have the effect of providing a numerical measure that is different from any comparable GAAP measure, the company does not consider it a non-GAAP measure.

All such forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates, expectations and ambitions that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond the control of Bitfarms and Stronghold, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements.

These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transaction, are more fully discussed in the proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form F-4 filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. While the list of factors presented here and the list of factors to be presented in the registration statement on Form F-4 are considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.

FAT BRANDS INC. REPORTS FISCAL FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL FISCAL YEAR 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Conference call and webcast today at 4:30 p.m. ET

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FAT (Fresh. Authentic. Tasty.) Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: FAT) (“FAT Brands” or the “Company”) today reported fiscal fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2024 financial results for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.

Andy Wiederhorn, Chairman of FAT Brands, said, “During 2024, we successfully expanded our footprint by opening 92 restaurants and signed over 250 new franchise agreements which increased our development pipeline to 1,000 locations. For 2025, we expect to add more than 100 additional restaurants across our portfolio. Our ability to grow demonstrates both strong consumer demand for our brands and the significant opportunities provided to our franchisee base.”

Ken Kuick, Co-Chief Executive Officer of FAT Brands, said, “We kicked off 2025 with a major milestone, the spin-out of Twin Hospitality Group Inc., creating a separate publicly traded company. This public listing creates an opportunity for stockholders to directly participate in the growth and success of the Twin Peaks brand while providing the Company valuable capital resources to maintain and accelerate its growth trajectory. A key strategic priority for us this year is maximizing the value creation at Twin Hospitality on behalf of our stockholders.”

Rob Rosen, Co-Chief Executive Officer of FAT Brands, said, “Looking ahead, we are focused on synergies and cost reductions. By removing Twin Peaks and Smokey Bones from our portfolio, we have eliminated half of our company owned locations. We now plan to refranchise our 57 company-owned Fazoli’s locations, which will leave us with only 33 Hot Dog on a Stick company-owned locations. This will return us to being nearly 100% franchised.”

Highlights for Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2024 (13 weeks) versus Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2023 (14 weeks)

  • Total revenue decreased 8.4% to $145.3 million compared to $158.6 million (the 14th week contributed $11.3 million in revenue during the prior year fiscal quarter)
    • System-wide sales declined 7.4% (the 14th week contributed $44.8 million in system-wide sales during the prior year fiscal quarter)
    • System-wide same-store sales declined 1.6%

  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $14.4 million compared to $27.0 million (the 14th week contributed $1.9 million in adjusted EBITDA during the prior year fiscal quarter)
  • Adjusted net loss(1) of $29.9 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, compared to $17.3 million, or $1.15 per diluted share

Summary of Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total revenue decreased $13.3 million, or 8.4%, in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024, to $145.3 million compared to $158.6 million in the same fiscal period of 2023, driven by an incremental operating week in the prior year fiscal quarter, which contributed $11.3 million in revenue, lower same-store sales and lower revenues due to the closure of two Smokey Bones locations during their conversion to Twin Peaks lodges, partially offset by revenues generated by the opening of new restaurants.

General and administrative expense increased $4.2 million, or 13.9%, in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the same fiscal period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to $5.0 million in Smokey Bones store closure costs, partially offset by the incremental operating week in the prior year fiscal quarter.

Cost of restaurant and factory revenues is related to the operations of the company-owned restaurant locations and our dough factory and decreased approximately $8.0 million, or 7.6%, in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024 to $97.2 million, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower company-owned restaurant sales.

Advertising expenses decreased $2.0 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior fiscal year period due to the slowdown in advertising at Smokey Bones. These expenses vary in relation to advertising revenues.

Total other expense, net for the fiscal fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023 was $36.4 million and $31.9 million, respectively, primarily comprised of net interest expense of $34.7 million and $33.3 million, respectively. Additionally, in the fourth of 2024, we recognized a $2.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt and in the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded a $0.3 million gain on extinguishment of debt.

Key Financial Definitions

New store openings – The number of new store openings reflects the number of stores opened during a particular reporting period. The total number of new stores per reporting period and the timing of stores openings has, and will continue to have, an impact on our results.

Same-store sales growth – Same-store sales growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable store base, which we define as the number of stores open and in the FAT Brands system for at least one full fiscal year. For stores that were temporarily closed, sales in the current and prior period are adjusted accordingly. Given our focused marketing efforts and public excitement surrounding each opening, new stores often experience an initial start-up period with considerably higher than average sales volumes, which subsequently decrease to stabilized levels after three to six months. Additionally, when we acquire a brand, it may take several months to integrate fully each location of said brand into the FAT Brands platform. Thus, we do not include stores in the comparable base until they have been open and in the FAT Brands system for at least one full fiscal year.

System-wide sales growth – System wide sales growth reflects the percentage change in sales in any given fiscal period compared to the prior fiscal period for all stores in that brand only when the brand is owned by FAT Brands. Because of acquisitions, new store openings and store closures, the stores open throughout both fiscal periods being compared may be different from period to period.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to the future financial and operating results of the Company, estimates of future EBITDA, the timing and performance of new store openings, future reductions in cost of capital and leverage ratio, our ability to conduct future accretive acquisitions and our pipeline of new store locations. Forward-looking statements generally use words such as “expect,” “foresee,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” “should,” “estimate,” “will,” “plans,” “forecast,” and similar expressions, and reflect our expectations concerning the future. Forward-looking statements are subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. We refer you to the documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as our reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, for a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our current expectations and from the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this press release.


Non-GAAP Measures (Unaudited)

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We use the term EBITDA, as opposed to (loss) income from operations, as it is widely used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We believe that EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance. EBITDA is not a measure of our financial performance or liquidity that is determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as measures of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (as defined above), excluding expenses related to acquisitions, refranchising losses, impairment charges, and certain non-recurring or non-cash items that the Company does not believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of the Company’s recurring business operations.

Adjusted net loss is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net loss is defined as net loss plus the impact of adjustments and the tax effects of such adjustments. Adjusted net loss is presented because we believe it helps convey supplemental information to investors regarding our performance, excluding the impact of special items that affect the comparability of results in past quarters to expected results in future quarters. Adjusted net loss as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, and our presentation of adjusted net loss should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by excluded or unusual items. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter based on comparable financial results.

Reconciliations of net loss presented in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss are set forth in the tables below.

  • Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $0.8 million versus approximately $0.5 million in 2023, representing a 62% increase year over year.
    • 2024 represented a pivotal shift in revenue generation for the Company. Whereas approximately 80% of 2023 revenue consisted of non-recurring engineering services and micro-chip sales, in 2024 88% of revenue was generated by the sale of our PowerBridge transmitters – primarily attributable to demand for our PowerBridge PRO transmitters.
    • Revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024 of $0.4 million versus approximately $0.2 million reported for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, representing quarter over quarter growth of 86%.
  • Cost of revenue and operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 totaled $19.2 million versus $22.6 million in 2023. Total 2024 GAAP cost of revenue and operating expenses consisted of approximately $0.7 million in cost of revenue, $8.3 million in research and development (R&D) expenses, $8.8 million in sales, marketing, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, and approximately $1.4 million in severance expenses.
  • Non-GAAP operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $16.2 million, decreasing from $20.0 million in 2023, representing a reduction of approximately $4.0 million, or 19%, year over year.
  • Continued operational cost reductions and increased commercial revenue yielded improved year over year net loss and net loss per share of approximately $(18.4) million, or $(2.57) per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2024, versus a net loss of approximately $(19.4) million, or $(4.15) per basic and diluted share, for 2023.
  • Non-GAAP net loss of approximately $(16.2) million for the year ended December 31, 2024 versus non-GAAP net loss of approximately ($19.1) million in 2023, representing a 15% improvement year over year.

Company Highlights

  • Revenue recorded in 2024 related to commercial PowerBridge transmitter system shipments surpassed all cumulative PowerBridge transmitter system revenue reported since introducing the product family to the market in the fourth quarter of 2021 – representing a significant milestone for the Company and illustrating growing adoption of our innovative wireless power network solutions.
  • Between January 1, 2025 and February 12, 2025, the Company raised approximately $13.4 million, net of issuance costs and expenses, under its at-the-market offering program. As of February 25, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $11.7 million. This capital allows the Company to execute its growth initiatives for 2025 and execute on the backlog of orders placed with the Company.
  • Ongoing cost reduction efforts during 2024 and continuing into February 2025 represent over approximately $6.8 million in annualized expense reductions. Management continues to explore additional ways to optimize operations to accelerate the path to profitability.
  • The Company was granted 13 new patents in 2024.
  • The Company rebranded its PowerBridge transmitters to better reflect the wireless power benefits of the solutions.

Alternatively, the PowerBridge LITE, formerly known as the 1W transmitter, delivers 4W EIRP capabilities for dynamic use cases, such as transportation.
  • The Company was awarded the first phase of a multi-stage project by a Fortune 10 multinational retailer, which will deploy PowerBridge transmitters in more than 4,700 locations.
  • The Company has been engaged by a global leader in RFID-based source-to-shopper solutions to develop a battery-free smart tag that will enhance visibility and asset tracking for retail-focused Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
  • The PowerBridge transmitter won a Mobile Breakthrough Award for “IoT Innovation of the Year”.
  • The Company received an order for its PowerBridge transmitter systems from a Fortune 10 multinational retail organization for real-time inventory tracking during transportation.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below.

Our reported results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP sales, marketing, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) and non-GAAP research and development expenses (R&D). Non-GAAP net loss excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, severance expense, offering costs related to warrant liability and change in fair value of warrant liability, and the loss on the extinguishment of short-term debt. Non-GAAP operating expenses excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and severance expense. Non-GAAP SG&A excludes depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP R&D excludes depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense.
