  • MIL-OSI: Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. (“WTMA”) and Evolution Metals LLC (“EM”) Announce Effectiveness of SEC Registration Statement Ahead of Strategic Business Combination

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Chicago, IL and St. Louis, MO , May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. (OTC: WTMA), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, and Evolution Metals LLC, which is dedicated to developing a secure, reliable global supply chain for critical minerals and materials (CMM), today announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has declared effective their registration statement on Form S-4, paving the way for the consummation of this previously- announced business combination.

    In connection with the business combination WTMA and EM plan to acquire 100% interest of five operating companies: (1) KCM Industry Co., Ltd., (2) NS World Co., Ltd., (3) KMMI INC., (4) Handa Lab Co., Ltd., and (5) Critical Mineral Recovery, Inc. Upon closing, the combined company will be renamed Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. (“EM&T” or referred to in the Form S-4 as “New EM”), and expects to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol EMAT.

    EM&T’s business is to leverage advanced technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide integrated midstream and downstream CMM recycling and processing of oxides, metals, magnet alloys, battery materials, and rare earth magnets for key industries including, but not limited to, the automotive, aerospace, defense, healthcare, high tech, consumer electronics and appliances, and renewable energy industries, while driving a sustainable future.

    “This is an important step in our mission to build a Western critical materials champion,” said Daniel Mamadou, CEO of Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. “It perfectly aligns with our original vision to bring together proven technologies, experienced operators, and strategic capital to solve one of the most urgent supply chain vulnerabilities in the Western world. EM&T is not just another company – we believe it is the platform that will deliver on what others have only promised.”

    David Wilcox, Managing Member of Evolution Metals LLC, added, “Today marks a transformative step toward American resilience in critical materials. This merger represents a direct response to the policy imperatives outlined by the U.S. government from reshoring strategic industries to securing CMM supply chains. The future of EM&T is built to execute on those priorities with speed and scale. “The immediate need for critical minerals and materials is mid-stream processing. Without the combined expertise of separation, salts for batteries, metals, alloys, metallics, sintered and bonded magnet-making capabilities under one Western roof, Chinese companies will continue to monopolize key steps in this supply chain, leaving all other nations and industries vulnerable. By integrating CMM recycling, processing, and advanced materials production, EM&T expects to be positioned to reduce dependence on China-controlled supply chains and strengthen America’s industrial and national security. EM&T plans to deliver real impact – environmentally, strategically, and economically.”

  • MIL-OSI: Beam Global Announces First Quarter 2025 Operating Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN DIEGO, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM), (the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, today announced its first quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2025.

    Q1 2025 Financial Highlights

    • Revenue CAGR 60% for trailing 60 months
    • Commercial Revenues increased 41% over Q1 2024
    • Positive GAAP Gross Margin 8%
    • Adjusted non-GAAP Gross Margin, net of non-cash costs 21%
    • Net cash used in Operations for Q1 2025 $1.8 million vs. Q1 2024 $3.0 million
    • Backlog of $6.3 million
    • Debt free and $100 million line of credit available and unused

    Q1 2025 and Recent Operational Highlights

    • In Q1 2025 we shipped EV ARC™ units, ARC Mobility™ trailers, energy storage systems (ESS), lighting poles and smart city infrastructure solutions to locations across California, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Oregon, and internationally to Croatia, Serbia, Spain and Romania
    • Achieved CE (Conformité Européenne) certification on EV ARC™
    • Granted U.S. Patent for High-Volume Battery Assembly and Safety Technology
    • Expanded our European sales network with three new distribution partners
      • Seltis Glass Design S.R.L. for the Romanian market
      • Evrosimovski Consulting Ltd. for the North Macedonian market
      • BBA International for the Albanian market
    • Entered Middle Eastern market through partnership with Solvana
    • Launched BeamPatrol™ partnership with Zero Motorcycles with two BeamPatrol™ units at MotoGP in Austin to charge electric motorcycle demonstrations
    • Expanded into Romania with First EV ARC™ Sales through our Romanian reselling agent, Seltis Glass Design SRL
    • Won the Award for Innovation in Sustainable Infrastructure at the 2025 Congress of Mayors and Local Administration of Romania
    • Won the 2024 Award for Business Success by Serbian Chamber of Commerce

    “Though we are navigating through a series of uncertainties in the U.S. market, our other expansion efforts lead us to believe that we have the pieces in place to return to growth in this and future quarters,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “Sales of our flagship product EV ARC™ increased in the first quarter. Our battery business is doing some of the most interesting and promising work it has ever done. Our international expansion strategy is gaining momentum and bearing fruit. We have sufficient cash and working capital to continue to operate the business into the future. We have no debt and no going concern. We’re generating gross profits which, net of non-cash items, are still north of 20%. We have proposals out and items in our pipeline, which would simply not have been possible this time last year before we introduced our fantastic new product lineup and expanded beyond the US market. Losing the immediate benefits of U.S. federal government sales has been tough on us, but we are managing through that and have created a foundation for growth which is resistant to those sorts of upheavals, and which I believe, will create opportunities for growth which far out strip anything that we’ve ever done before.”

    Revenues
    For the first quarter of 2025, Beam Global’s revenues were $6.3 million. The Company has a Revenue CAGR of 60% for the trailing 60 months, as of the three months ending March 31, 2025. Revenues were diverse across commercial entities and state and local governments with a significant rebalancing towards enterprise customers. For the first quarter of 2025, 53% of revenues were derived from commercial customers compared to 16% in the same period in 2024. International customers comprised 25% of all revenue as of March 31, 2025 compared to 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We believe that the decrease in revenue is mainly a result of uncertainty in the U.S. government’s zero emission vehicle strategy related to the presidential election.

    Gross Profit

    Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was $0.5 million, or 8% gross margin, compared to gross profit of $1.5 million, or 10% gross margin in the first quarter of the prior year. The gross profit includes a non-cash negative impact of $1.0 million for depreciation and amortization of intangible assets resulting from the AllCell acquisition. Our gross margin, net of non-cash items, was 21% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to 12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Our engineering team has continued to implement design changes which have reduced the bill of materials for the EV ARCTM, improving the product margins throughout 2024 and leading into 2025. Additionally, we have continued to recognize synergies and positive gross margin contributions from our acquisitions. We expect the Company’s revenue to grow in the future and our fixed overhead absorption to continue to improve resulting in improved gross margins.

    Operating Expenses and Impairment of Goodwill

    The first quarter 2025 total operating expenses of $16.0 million included $10.8 million of goodwill impairment, for the single reporting unit, because our market capitalization no longer exceeded our net assets at March 31, 2025 due to the decrease in our stock price since December 31, 2024. Our operating expenses, net of non-cash items for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are $4.1 million compared to 2024 of $3.8 million, a variance of $0.2 million or 6%. The Company believes the goodwill impairment reported during the three months ended March 31, 2025 is not a negative indicator of historic or current operating results and not a negative indicator of future performance as the Company has taken significant steps to diversify its geographical reach and product offerings while focusing on strategic growth. The Company believes that the resulting non-cash charge has no impact on the Company’s compliance with its cash flows or available liquidity and that its acquired entities are contributing positively to its operations and growth potential.

    Net Loss

    The first quarter net loss of $15.5 million included $12.5 million of non-cash expense items such as goodwill impairment, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and provisions for credit losses in 2025, compared to a net loss of $3.0 million with non-cash expenses of $1.1 million in 2024. The first quarter 2025 net loss excluding non-cash items was $2.8 million compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2024.

    Cash

    On March 31, 2025, we had cash of $2.5 million, compared to cash of $4.6 million at December 31, 2024.

    Net cash used for operating activities was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2024.

    We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of debt and equity financing and more recently through increasing gross profit contributions. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities and acquisitions.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we present Non-GAAP financial measures, in this press release. We use Non-GAAP in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. We believe Non-GAAP is also helpful to investors, analysts and other interested parties because it can assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our operations across our historical financial periods. Non-GAAP has limitations as an analytical tool. Therefore, you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Non-GAAP measurements alongside other financial performance measures, including attributable to other GAAP measures. In evaluating Non-GAAP measures you should be aware that in the future, we may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments reflected in this press release. Our presentation of Non-GAAP should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by the types of items excluded from the calculations of Non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP is not presented in accordance with GAAP and the use of these terms vary from others in our industry.

    Management will host a conference call on Thursday May 15, 2025 at 4:30 p.m. ET to review financial results and provide an update on corporate developments. Following management’s formal remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session.

  • MIL-OSI: Decentralized Search Engine Presearch Rolls Out New Dashboard for Highly Targeted Search Ad Campaigns

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, CANADA, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Presearch (https://presearch.com/), the ethical, non-profiling meta-search engine that prioritizes user privacy and does not track users or sell data to advertisers, today announced the launch of its Presearch Advertiser Dashboard, a new way for advertisers to acquire metrics and insights for user search behavior through Presearch Takeover Advertising (PTA) without compromising that user’s privacy.

    “This is a major step in our ongoing mission to create the most advertiser-friendly and user-centric privacy-focused search platform available,” said Presearch.com CEO Tim Enneking. “It enhances transparency, simplifies campaign management, and delivers precise insights, all within a secure, privacy-preserving environment. This commitment to privacy makes providing detailed advertiser insights uniquely challenging, but advertisers will still be able to benefit from a powerful, positive brand association by supporting a genuinely privacy-focused platform.

    Through the Presearch Advertiser Dashboard, advertisers can gain secure individualized dashboards tailored specifically to their PTA campaigns, displaying only relevant metrics to streamline management and oversight, with staked keyword analytics also coming soon. In addition, advertisers can gain deep insights into campaign performance with detailed PTA campaign-specific metrics, including impressions, clicks, and CTRs, across individual PTAs or aggregated across all campaigns. The Presearch Advertiser Dashboard can also easily export detailed reports, empowering deeper analysis and strategic decision-making.

    As part of its reporting, the Presearch Advertiser Dashboard also has advanced capabilities that allow advertisers to effortlessly isolate and analyze PTA data by dates, durations, Share of Voice (SOV), PTA Mode (standard or NSFW advertising), user type (registered or non-registered), placement (homepage or search results), device (desktop or mobile) and geography.

    The launch of the Presearch Advertiser Dashboard comes as Presearch continues to expand its operations, including a new self-serve advertiser portal that is currently in use with select clients. Presearch has also brought in a number of executives focused on user and advertiser needs, including a dedicated Vice President of User Acquisition and two Vice Presidents of Global Sales. 

    Presearch.com offers a privacy-focused search experience that delivers search results better to those of prominent search engines. Unlike traditional platforms that profit from user data, Presearch never associates users with their search queries or geolocations. Searches belong to the users alone and all activity remains anonymous. Presearch processes and serves its search engine results via a decentralized node network, distributing operations across a global community. Boasting a strong community with over 150,000 active monthly users, 13 million monthly impressions, and over 400,000 searches per day, Presearch is bridging the gap between everyday internet users and the emerging crypto realm.

    ABOUT PRESEARCH

  • MIL-OSI: Canadian Net REIT Announces 2025 First-Quarter Results and a Distribution Increase

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MONTRÉAL, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canadian Net Real Estate Investment Trust (“Canadian Net” or the “REIT”) (TSX-V: NET.UN) today reported its results for the quarter ended March 31st, 2025 (“Q1 2025”). The REIT also announced an increase in annual distributions and distributions for July, August and September 2025.

    “This was a solid quarter for Canadian Net, with FFO per unit growing by 8% as we are now reaping the benefits of our capital recycling program and reinvestments we’ve made in recent months,” said Kevin Henley, President and CEO of the REIT. “In addition to the positive contributions from our recent acquisitions, our necessity-based niche continues to perform exceptionally well, and the ongoing decline in interest rates is further reinforcing these favourable conditions. We’re also pleased to announce an increase in our distribution, supported by the enhanced profitability driven by actions we took in prior years.”

    RESULTS FOR Q1 2025

    Canadian Net reported Funds from operations1 (“FFO”) of $3.38 million, or $0.164 per unit, an increase of 8% compared to $3.13 million, or $0.152 per unit for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (“Q1 2024”).

    Rental income was $6.9 million in Q1 2025, an increase of 4.7% from Q1 2024. Net Operating Income1 (“NOI”) in Q1 2025 was $5.0 million, an increase of 3.3% from Q1 2024, reflecting an increase in rental income due to property acquisitions.

    The REIT generated a net income attributable to unitholders of $10.2 million in Q1 2025 compared to net income of $1.3 million in Q1 2024.

    The increase in FFO1 is derived from higher rental income from property acquisitions and lower interest charges on credit facilities. The increase in NOI1 was mainly attributable to the increase in rental income from property acquisitions. Finally, the variance in net income attributable to unitholders is primarily attributable to the change in the fair value of investment properties.

    DISTRIBUTIONS

    Starting in July 2025, the annual distribution will go from $0.345 to $0.350 per unit, representing an increase of 1.5%. With this increase, Canadian Net’s distributions have increased 180% since its first distributions in 2012.

    Canadian Net announced that it will make monthly cash distributions of $0.02917 per unit, representing $0.35 per unit on an annualized basis, on July 31st, August 29th and September 29th, 2025, to unitholders of record on July 15th, August 15th and September 15th, 2025, respectively.

    The tables below represent other financial highlights and the reconciliations of certain non-IFRS measures for Q1 2025 and Q1 2024. This information should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion & Analysis (“MD&A”) for the quarters ended March 31st, 2025 and March 31st, 2024.

    NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

    The Trust’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). In this press release, as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, the Trust discloses and discusses certain non-IFRS financial measures: FFO, FFO per unit, AFFO, AFFO per unit, NOI, and Adjusted Investment Properties. These non-IFRS measures are not defined by IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning, and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. Canadian Net has presented such non-IFRS measures as management of the Trust believes they are relevant measures of Canadian Net’s underlying operating performance and debt management. Non-IFRS measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income, cash generated from (utilized in) operating activities, or comparable metrics determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of the Trust’s performance, liquidity, cash flow, and profitability. Information appearing in this news release is a select summary of results. This news release should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and MD&A for the Trust. Please refer to the “Non IFRS Financial Measures” section in Canadian Net’s management’s discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2025, available under Canadian Net’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca for a full description of these measures and, where applicable, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. Such explanation is incorporated by reference herein.

    Conference call today at 5:00 pm ET to discuss results

    DENVER, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Intermap Technologies (TSX: IMP; OTCQB: ITMSF) (“Intermap” or the “Company”), a global leader in 3D geospatial services and intelligence solutions, today announced first quarter 2025 results and affirmed 2025 guidance.

    For the first quarter ending March 31, 2025

    • Total revenue of $4.3 million, compared with $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2024
    • Acquisition Services revenue of $2.4 million versus $478 thousand in the year-ago quarter
    • Value-added Data revenue of $514 thousand versus $266 thousand in the year-ago quarter
    • Software and Solutions revenue of $1.3 million, compared with $942 thousand in the first quarter of 2024
    • 28% pro-forma adjusted EBITDA margin versus 25% in the first quarter of 2024
      • Intermap invested to support permitting and pursuit costs on behalf of its partners for follow-on awards
    • Pro-forma net income of $833 thousand, compared with a net loss of $839 thousand in the first quarter of 2024
    • Total assets of $19.2 million versus $11.9 million on December 31, 2024
    • Cash, unbilled and A/R totaled $13.9 million versus $6.5 million on December 31, 2024

    “We’re seeing strong momentum across our government and commercial segments,” said Patrick A. Blott, Intermap Chairman and CEO. “With multiyear partnerships, federal contracts and a strengthened balance sheet, we’re benefiting from growing customer confidence and positioning the Company for recurring revenue with long-term growth. We are pleased to affirm our 2025 guidance.”

    Q1 Government Milestones
    In the government sector, Intermap’s team, led by CACI, was selected as a vendor for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s $200 million Luno B IDIQ contract. When combined with the previously announced Luno A award, the addressable opportunity totals $500 million. The first task orders have begun to be issued and Intermap is well positioned with superior proprietary source data and analytics located over difficult areas of the world inaccessible by optical satellites. This positions Intermap to compete for federal work over the next five years and expand its role in delivering advanced geospatial intelligence to support national security.

    Intermap continued to execute Phase 1 of Indonesia’s national mapping initiative, delivering high-resolution 3D elevation and feature data exceeding specifications in a shorter timeframe than planned. The Company is pursuing follow-on awards under Phase 2 of the $653 million World Bank–funded ILASP project, which supports land administration and spatial planning. With the Indonesian government prioritizing large-scale base maps for national development, Intermap’s Phase 1 performance positions it strongly for continued participation. The Company’s advanced technology and proven execution align with the project’s goals, including expansion into Java, Kalimantan and other key regions.

    As part of the Indonesian mapping program during the quarter, Intermap incurred charges for permitting, currency adjustment and working capital investment to support large government milestone payments, which were subsequently collected in April 2025, after the quarter end. In addition, Intermap incurred pursuit costs related to upcoming contracts. When the partner-related charges and pursuit costs are added back, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA and earnings for the first quarter were $1.2 million and $833 thousand, respectively. To further mitigate exchange risks, Intermap entered into foreign currency hedging and arrangements with its local prime partner to pay IDR subcontractors. Going forward, currency risk and hedging costs are mitigated by World Bank funding, which will be denominated and fixed in U.S. dollars.

    During the quarter, Intermap was down-selected after a competitive process for a new U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project (DARPA) program to support priority DARPA investments targeted to leverage Intermap’s unique commercial capabilities, commercialization expertise, proprietary internal research and development and growth capital support. This program extends Intermap’s own upgrade efforts and capital with sponsored access to additional government-funded, cutting-edge applied geospatial technologies, advanced research and development, next-generation geospatial products and emerging dual-use companies on contract with DARPA. The Company is currently working with multiple customers using Intermap data and technology for real-time terrain matching to power long-range autonomous systems. More information about this important award will follow as contracting is finalized.

    Q1 Commercial Achievements
    Intermap began 2025 with strong performance in its insurance business, securing over $1.1 million in new and renewed contracts. It signed two major multiyear partnerships with a leading European bank-insurance group and PREMIUM Insurance. Both adopted Intermap’s Aquarius RMA platform, reinforcing the Company’s position as a key provider of AI-driven geospatial solutions for multi-peril and flood risk assessment.

    During the first quarter, the Company significantly expanded its partnership with a major global space infrastructure operator, which has increased its investment in the Company’s high-precision 3D elevation data with Intermap’s NEXTMap® solution. This expansion supports the operator’s use of the data for radio frequency interference modeling and optimizing site selection across diverse geographies. In 2024, the operator acquired 10 times as many projects as the previous year, driving a 6.4x increase in revenue. Early 2025 projects are nearly three times larger than the average size in 2024, with points of presence growing rapidly, reflecting the growing scale of the initiative. This rapid expansion demonstrates the operator’s growing reliance on Intermap’s best-in-class data.

    The Company also renewed its subscription partnership with a leading provider of GPS-enabled golf technology. Now entering its fourth year, the collaboration utilizes Intermap’s high-resolution 3D elevation data to map more than 40,000 golf courses globally, delivering immersive, real-time virtual experiences for golfers. This data powers advanced features such as swing metrics, ball flight analytics and detailed course visualizations—accessible from homes, backyards and practice ranges. Driven by strong user growth, the partnership is expanding to include a new generation of golf products built on Intermap’s proprietary terrain models, where Intermap is compensated alongside the customer for growing user data consumption. With 78% of core golfers using at least one golf app, Intermap’s data remains a key enabler of the evolving digital golf experience.

    Q1 Financing
    To fund growth, Intermap raised C$12 million in February. The capital strengthens the Company’s ability to execute on its expanding pipeline and scale delivery of high-value contracts.

    Outlook
    Intermap confirms projected 2025 revenue of $30–35 million and 28% EBITDA margin.

    Intermap does not provide quarterly guidance. The Company has tremendous installed capacity, providing a competitive advantage for speed of execution. Intermap’s customers are large global institutions and governments with long procurement and decision-making cycles. Intermap has the proven ability and track record to increase operational efficiency and tempo once under contract to meet aggressive timelines consistent with customer requirements.

    Intermap will continue building recurring revenue by enabling customers to consume the world’s most precise GEOINT terrain data products at global scale, as-a-service, provisioned within seconds, consuming only the points they need, when and where they need them. While penetrating deeper into its targeted markets, Intermap is also enabling new users and new use-cases, and its financial results highlight the persistent recurring revenue and high growth embedded in this attractive business model.

    Quarterly Filing
    The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, along with management’s discussion and analysis for the corresponding period and related management certifications for the first quarter financial results, will be filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the SEC’s EDGAR website at SEC.gov on May 15, 2025.

    Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The term earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) consists of net loss and excludes interest (financing costs), taxes, and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes share-based compensation, fair value adjustments and foreign currency translation. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” in Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the SEC’s EDGAR website at SEC.gov.

    Conference Call Details
    Intermap’s CEO Patrick A. Blott and CFO Jennifer Bakken will host a live webinar today, at 5:00 pm ET to review the results, provide Company updates and answer investor questions following the presentation.

    Intermap invites shareholders, analysts, investors, media representatives and other stakeholders to attend the earnings webinar to discuss the first quarter of 2025 results.

  • MIL-OSI: CORRECTING AND REPLACING – Katapult Delivers 15.4% Gross Originations and 10.6% Revenue Growth in the First Quarter, Above Outlook

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Expects Growth to Accelerate In Second Quarter
    Reiterates 2025 Guidance

    PLANO, Texas, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In the press release issued by Katapult Holdings, Inc. on May 15, 2025, in the gross originations by quarter table, Q4 in FY 2024 should be $75.2 million instead of $64.2 million.

    The updated release reads:

    Katapult Holdings, Inc. (“Katapult” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: KPLT), an e-commerce-focused financial technology company, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    “2025 is off to a strong start and we are well positioned to achieve our full year targets,” said Orlando Zayas, CEO of Katapult. “We achieved double-digit gross originations and revenue growth, driven by increasing engagement with the Katapult app marketplace, including 57% growth in KPay originations. Our marketplace is thriving – from application growth to repeat purchase rates, to high Net Promoter scores and beyond, we believe we have all the hallmarks of a healthy ecosystem and we intend to lean into opportunities to accelerate our growth. We are excited about the future and as we continue to execute on our consumer and merchant initiatives, we feel confident that we can create value for all of our stakeholders.”

    Operating Progress: Recent Highlights

    • Increased activity within the Katapult app marketplace
      • ~59% of first quarter gross originations started in the Katapult app marketplace, making it the single largest customer referral source. Total app originations grew 42% year-over-year.
      • Applications grew ~59% year-over-year in the first quarter
      • Customer satisfaction remained high and Katapult had a Net Promoter Score of 66 as of March 31, 2025

      • KPay gross originations grew approximately 57% year-over-year in the first quarter; 35% of total gross originations were transacted using KPay
      • Launched Ashley and Bed Bath & Beyond in the Katapult app marketplace, bringing the total number of merchants in our KPay ecosystem to 35
    • Made strong progress against merchant engagement initiatives
      • Direct and waterfall gross originations, which represented 65% of total first quarter originations, grew approximately 40%, excluding the home furnishings and mattress category

      • Together with several merchant-partners, we launched targeted co-branded, co-promoted marketing campaigns that delivered year-over-year gross originations growth ranging from 7% to more than 75% depending on the campaign

    First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

    (All comparisons are year-over-year unless stated otherwise.)

    • Gross originations were $64.2 million, an increase of 15.4%. Excluding the home furnishings and mattress category, gross originations grew 51% year-over-year.
    • Total revenue was $71.9 million, an increase of 10.6%
    • Total operating expenses in the first quarter increased 17.3%. Our fixed cash operating expenses2, which exclude litigation settlement and other non-cash and variable expenses, increased approximately 10.8%.
    • Net loss was $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared with net loss of $0.6 million reported for the first quarter of 2024. The higher net loss was mainly due to higher cost of sales and higher operating expenses.
    • Adjusted net loss2 was $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to adjusted net income of $1.0 million reported for the first quarter of 2024
    • Adjusted EBITDA2 was $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to Adjusted EBITDA2 of $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. The year-over-year performance was impacted by higher cost of sales related to rapid, faster-than-expected gross originations growth during the first quarter of 2025 and the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.
    • Katapult ended the quarter with total cash and cash equivalents of $14.3 million, which includes $8.3 million of restricted cash. The Company ended the quarter with $77.8 million of outstanding debt on its credit facility.
    • Write-offs as a percentage of revenue were 9.0% in the first quarter of 2025 and are within the Company’s 8% to 10% long-term target range. This compares with 8.4% in the first quarter of 2024.

    [1] Repeat customer rate is defined as the percentage of in-quarter originations from existing customers.

    Second Quarter and Full Year 2025 Business Outlook

    The Company is continuing to navigate a challenging macro environment particularly within the home furnishings category. Given the current breadth of our merchant selection as well as our plans to introduce new merchants to the Katapult App Marketplace during 2025, our strategic marketing and our strong consumer offering, we believe we are well positioned to deliver continued growth in 2025. We continue to believe that we have a large addressable market of underserved, non-prime consumers, and it’s important to note that lease-to-own solutions have historically benefited when prime credit options become less available.

    Given our quarter-to-date progress, Katapult expects the following results for the second quarter of 2025:

    • 25% to 30% year-over-year increase in gross originations
    • 17% to 20% year-over-year increase in revenue
    • Approximately breakeven Adjusted EBITDA

    Based on the macroeconomic assumptions above and the operating plan in place for the full year 2025, Katapult is reiterating its expectations for full year 2025:

    • We expect gross originations to grow at least 20%

    This outlook does not include any material impact from prime creditors tightening or loosening above us and assumes that there are no significant changes to the macro environment.

    Both our second quarter and full year outlooks assume that the gross originations for the home furnishings and mattress category do not improve materially from our 2024 performance.

    • We also expect to maintain strong credit quality in our portfolio. This will be driven by ongoing enhancements to our risk modeling, onboarding high quality new merchants through integrations, and repeat customers engaging with Katapult Pay
    • Revenue growth is expected to be at least 20%
    • Finally, with the continued execution of our disciplined expense management strategy combined with our growing top-line, we expect to deliver at least $10 million in positive Adjusted EBITDA

    “The first quarter came in stronger than our outlook, and we are continuing to successfully grow our top-line without meaningfully increasing our expense base,” said Nancy Walsh, CFO of Katapult. “The second quarter is off to a great start and we believe we can continue to scale our business by offering a transparent and fair LTO product to consumers and a growth engine to our partners. Our team’s hard work and agile execution is fueling our growth and we are looking forward to a great 2025.”

    Conference Call and Webcast

    The Company will host a conference call and webcast at 8:00 AM ET on Thursday, May 15, 2025, to discuss the Company’s financial results. Related presentation materials will be available before the call on the Company’s Investor Relations page at https://ir.katapultholdings.com. The conference call will be broadcast live in listen-only mode and an archive of the webcast will be available for one year.

    About Katapult

Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements in this Press Release or on our quarterly earnings call. All forward-looking statements contained herein or expressed on our quarterly earnings call are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update these statements as a result of new information or future events, except as required by law. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

    Key Performance Metrics

    Katapult regularly reviews several metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate its business, measure its performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions, which may also be useful to an investor: gross originations, total revenue, gross profit, adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA.

    Gross originations are defined as the retail price of the merchandise associated with lease-purchase agreements entered into during the period through the Katapult platform. Gross originations do not represent revenue earned. However, we believe this is a useful operating metric for both Katapult’s management and investors to use in assessing the volume of transactions that take place on Katapult’s platform.

    Total revenue represents the summation of rental revenue and other revenue. Katapult measures this metric to assess the total view of pay through performance of its customers. Management believes looking at these components is useful to an investor as it helps to understand the total payment performance of customers.

    Gross profit represents total revenue less cost of revenue, and is a measure presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a description and presentation of adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures utilized by management.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To supplement the financial measures presented in this press release and related conference call or webcast in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents the following non-GAAP and other measures of financial performance: adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss) and fixed cash operating expenses. The Company believes that for management and investors to more effectively compare core performance from period to period, the non-GAAP measures should exclude items that are not indicative of our results from ongoing business operations.The Company urges investors to consider non-GAAP measures only in conjunction with its GAAP financials and to review the reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to its comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release.

    Adjusted gross profit represents gross profit less variable operating expenses, which are servicing costs, and underwriting fees. Management believes that adjusted gross profit provides a meaningful understanding of one aspect of its performance specifically attributable to total revenue and the variable costs associated with total revenue.

    Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as net loss before interest expense and other fees, interest income, change in fair value of warrants and loss on issuance of shares, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization on property and equipment and capitalized software, provision of impairment of leased assets, loss on partial extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, litigation settlement and other related expenses, and debt refinancing costs.

    Adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as net loss before change in fair value of warrants and loss on issuance of shares, stock-based compensation expense and litigation settlement and other related expenses and debt refinancing costs.

    Fixed cash operating expenses is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as operating expenses less depreciation and amortization on property and equipment and capitalized software, stock-based compensation expense, litigation settlement and other related expenses, debt refinancing costs, and variable lease costs such as servicing costs and underwriting fees. Management believes that fixed cash operating expenses provides a meaningful understanding of non-variable ongoing expenses.

    Adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss are useful to an investor in evaluating the Company’s performance because these measures:

    • Are widely used to measure a company’s operating performance;
    • Are financial measurements that are used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate the Company’s credit worthiness; and
    • Are used by the Company’s management for various purposes, including as measures of performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

    Management believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are not part of our core operations, highly variable or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation expense. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results and are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing operating performance. However, these non-GAAP measures exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Katapult’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to revenue, net loss, gross profit, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that Katapult’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAT) today reported results for its second quarter ended Apr. 27, 2025.

    “Applied Materials’ broad capabilities and connected product portfolio are driving strong results in 2025 amidst a highly dynamic macro environment,” said Gary Dickerson, President and CEO. “High-performance, energy-efficient AI computing remains the dominant driver of semiconductor innovation, and Applied is working closely with our customers and partners to accelerate the industry’s roadmap. We are very well positioned at major technology inflections in fast-growing areas of the market, which supports our multi-year growth trajectory.”

    “We delivered strong performance in our second fiscal quarter with seven percent year-over-year revenue growth, record earnings per share and shareholder distributions of nearly $2 billion,” said Brice Hill, Senior Vice President and CFO. “Despite the dynamic economic and trade environment, we have not seen significant changes to customer demand and are well-equipped to navigate evolving conditions with our robust global supply chain and diversified manufacturing footprint.”

    Business Outlook

    Applied’s total net revenue, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP diluted EPS for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 are expected to be approximately as follows:

             
      Q3 FY2025
    (In millions, except percentage and per share amounts)  
    Total net revenue $ 7,200   +/-   $ 500  
    Non-GAAP gross margin   48.3 %      
    Non-GAAP diluted EPS $ 2.35   +/-   $ 0.20  
                     

    This outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes known charges related to completed acquisitions of $0.01 per share, and includes a net income tax benefit related to intra-entity intangible asset transfers of $0.04 per share, but does not reflect any items that are unknown at this time, such as any additional charges related to acquisitions or other non-operational or unusual items, as well as other tax-related items, which we are not able to predict without unreasonable efforts due to their inherent uncertainty.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Applied provides investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are adjusted for the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, including certain items related to mergers and acquisitions; restructuring and severance charges and any associated adjustments; impairments of assets; gain or loss, dividends and impairments on strategic investments; certain income tax items and other discrete adjustments. On a non-GAAP basis, the tax effect related to share-based compensation is recognized ratably over the fiscal year. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are provided in the financial tables included in this release.

    Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s operating and financial performance and for planning purposes, and as performance measures in its executive compensation program. Applied believes these measures enhance an overall understanding of its performance and investors’ ability to review the company’s business from the same perspective as the company’s management, and facilitate comparisons of this period’s results with prior periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of Applied’s ongoing operating performance. There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and may exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    Webcast Information

    Applied Materials will discuss these results during an earnings call that begins at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time today. A live webcast and related slide presentation will be available at https://ir.appliedmaterials.com . A replay will be available on the website beginning at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time today.

  • MIL-OSI: iPower Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — iPower Inc. (Nasdaq: IPW) (“iPower” or the “Company”), a tech and data-driven ecommerce services provider and online retailer, today announced its financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    Fiscal Q3 2025 Results vs. Year-Ago Quarter

    • Total revenue was $16.6 million compared to $23.3 million.
    • Gross profit was $7.2 million compared to $10.4 million, with gross margin of 43.3% compared to 44.5%.
    • Net loss attributable to iPower was $0.3 million or $(0.01) per share, compared to net income attributable to iPower of $1.0 million or $0.03 per share.
    • As of March 31, 2025, total debt was reduced by 43% to $3.6 million as compared to $6.3 million as of June 30, 2024.

    Management Commentary

    “We made important strides in strengthening our operations during the quarter, even as we navigated a more cautious demand environment that impacted order volumes across key channels,” said Lawrence Tan, CEO of iPower. “In response, we’ve accelerated efforts to diversify our supply chain by expanding manufacturing into the U.S., as well as continuing to cultivate relationships with alternative suppliers in new geographies. These actions are central to our strategy to build a more agile and resilient supply chain capable of supporting long-term growth and reducing exposure to external volatility.”

    “In our SuperSuite business, we are continuing to gain traction and generating solid momentum, with our SuperSuite now representing approximately 20% of our total revenue mix, underscoring the robust demand for our end-to-end supply chain solutions. SuperSuite continues to evolve as a comprehensive, data-driven platform that equips our partners with the tools, insights and infrastructure they need to thrive in today’s competitive ecommerce landscape. We are working through a strong pipeline of prospective partners and look forward to capitalizing on the demand for SuperSuite as we continue to build out our partner ecosystem and deliver greater value to our current partners.”

    iPower CFO, Kevin Vassily, added, “We faced a challenging comp this quarter due to elevated purchasing volumes from our largest channel partner in the year-ago period. Nonetheless, we continued to benefit from the optimization initiatives we implemented in fiscal 2024, resulting in a 10% improvement in operating expenses for the quarter. Additionally, we reduced our total debt obligations by nearly 20% during the quarter, demonstrating our commitment to strengthening the balance sheet. With our ongoing efforts to diversify our supply chain, accelerating momentum in SuperSuite, and an optimized operating structure, we believe we are well positioned to navigate the current market environment and deliver long term value to our customers and shareholders alike.”

    Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results 

    Total revenue in the fiscal third quarter of 2025 was $16.6 million compared to $23.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by lower product sales to the Company’s largest channel partner, partially offset by growth in iPower’s SuperSuite supply chain offerings.

    Gross profit in the fiscal third quarter of 2025 was $7.2 million compared to $10.4 million in the same quarter in fiscal 2024. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin was 43.3% compared to 44.5% in the year-ago period. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by an increase in services income in the quarter.

    Total operating expenses in the fiscal third quarter of 2025 improved 15% to $7.4 million compared to $8.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. The decrease in operating expenses was driven primarily by lower general and administrative costs from the Company’s optimization initiatives, as well as lower selling and fulfillment expenses related to the Company’s largest channel partner.

    Net loss attributable to iPower in the fiscal third quarter of 2025 was $0.3 million or $(0.01) per share, compared to net income attributable to iPower of $1.0 million or $0.03 per share for the same period in fiscal 2024.

    Cash and cash equivalents were $2.2 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $7.4 million at June 30, 2024. As a result of the Company’s consistent debt paydown, total debt was reduced by 43% to $3.6 million compared to $6.3 million as of June 30, 2024.

    Conference Call 

    The Company will hold a conference call today, May 15, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss its results for the fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    iPower’s management will host the conference call, which will be followed by a question-and-answer session.

    CEO Commentary

    “We are pleased to report a strong first quarter, with revenues for the period increasing by 44% versus a year ago, while core KPIs such as Active Accounts and Transaction Volumes were also up”, said Fold Chairman and CEO, Will Reeves. “From Fold’s public listing in February to our recent new product announcements, we have already made meaningful progress in 2025.”

    Mr. Reeves continued, “In particular, we made significant progress on new initiatives that we believe improve the growth prospects for Fold. First, in February, we announced the launch of the Fold Bitcoin Rewards Credit Card, which currently has a waitlist of 75,000 people. We are working towards launching the card later this year and believe it can be an important growth driver of Fold’s business. Second, we are prioritizing the expansion of our Custody and Trading business by adding enhanced functionality to the platform. Our initiatives include increasing access to the platform beyond Fold cardholders to all users, supporting larger bitcoin orders through acceptance of wire deposits, and expanding the geographic reach of Fold’s suite of services. We believe these developments will allow us to open our platform to a meaningfully larger market. Our most recent announcement, the Fold Bitcoin Gift Card, is designed to allow consumers to acquire bitcoin by purchasing the Fold Bitcoin Gift Card online and at participating retail locations throughout the United States. Americans spend billions of dollars annually on gift cards and we believe the Fold Bitcoin Gift Card will allow us to capitalize on this large and meaningful market.”

    Reeves concluded, “Finally, our bitcoin treasury holdings increased by 50% during the first quarter and currently stands at 1,490 bitcoin, which represents more than $150 million of value based on recent bitcoin prices. At Fold, we remain committed believers in Bitcoin and see it as central to everything we do. Building on our first quarter of 2025, we will continue to seek opportunities to add to our bitcoin holdings and believe in the long-term value proposition of a robust bitcoin treasury strategy.”

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Adjusted EBITDA

    In addition to net loss and other results under GAAP, we utilize non-GAAP calculations of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to monitor the financial health of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) share-based compensation, (v) remeasurement gains and losses such as fair value remeasurements on our digital assets, convertible notes, and SAFE notes, and (vi) impairments, restructuring charges, and business acquisition- or disposition-related expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. This non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

    The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items are unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations, and/or render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of core operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting.

    The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss:

  • MIL-OSI: Expion360 Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Q1 2025 Revenue Growth of 111% Driven by New Products and Technologies

    5th Consecutive Quarter of Robust Revenue Growth

    Began Shipping e360 Home Energy Storage Solutions

    REDMOND, Ore., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Expion360 Inc. (Nasdaq: XPON) (“Expion360” or the “Company”), an industry leader in lithium-ion battery power storage, today reported its financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    First Quarter 2025 & Subsequent Financial & Operational Highlights

    • Q1 2025 revenue totaled $2.0 million, up 111% from Q1 2024, and 3% sequentially from Q4 2024.
    • 5th consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth.
    • Began fulfilling purchase orders for our e360 Home Energy Storage Solutions (“HESS”).
    • Closed a $2.6 million registered direct offering and private placement priced at the market under Nasdaq rules.

    Management Commentary

    “The first quarter of 2025 was underscored by continued strong revenue momentum, margin expansion and a strengthened balance sheet as we focus on entering into new OEM partnerships and distributor relationships and building our Home Energy Storage Solutions vertical,” said Brian Schaffner, Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer of Expion360. “Revenue grew 111% year over year to $2.0 million, and sequentially for a fifth consecutive quarter from Q4 2024 on a rebounding RV market. Results for the RV Industry Association’s (RVIA) March 2025 survey of manufacturers found that total RV shipments increased 14% in the first quarter of 2025. We believe the RV market will continue to gain ground through 2025, with shipments increasing throughout the year.

    “In January, we began production shipments for our HESS products. The LiFePO4 battery HESS enables residential and small business customers to create their own stable micro-energy grid and lessen the impact of increasing power fluctuations and outages. HESS is designed with adaptability in mind, ready to evolve alongside changing energy requirements. We also anticipate HESS will benefit from incentives available through California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program and federal tax credits, and we are working on additional orders in 2025.

    “Operationally during the quarter, we took the opportunity to prepare for continued growth and tariff mitigation by adding 6-12 months of inventory early in the quarter, before new tariffs were introduced. We are also working to diversify our supply chain with potential sourcing from additional countries and have undertaken several initiatives to increase margins and reduce costs within our current line of batteries. Our long-term goal is to onshore to the U.S. manufacturing of most of our components and assemblies, including cell manufacturing. To that end, we continue to work with NeoVolta to combine our strengths toward a potential collaboration that aims to engineer a US-based state-of-the-art battery manufacturing facility and develop innovative lithium-ion battery cell and module product designs.

    “Looking ahead, we are successfully executing on our efforts to expand sales across our product portfolio and new Home Energy Storage Solutions vertical. With a strengthened balance sheet from a recent $2.6 million registered direct offering and private placement, we believe we are well positioned to continue our growth initiatives to add OEM partnerships and distributors, further develop HESS, and introduce new technologies and batteries. With substantial purchase orders already in hand and additional new customers expressing interest across our product line, we look forward to announcements of additional milestones in the months ahead and expect our quarterly sequential growth to continue,” concluded Mr. Schaffner.

    First Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

    Revenue in the first quarter of 2025 totaled $2.0 million, an increase of 111% from $1.0 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was due, in part, to a rebound in the RV market overall, as well as completing our first sales in the home energy market.

    Gross profit in the first quarter of 2025 totaled $0.5 million, or 25% of revenue, as compared to $0.2 million or 23% of revenue in the prior year period and 21% of revenue for the full fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in sales and lower cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2025 decreased 25% to $1.6 million compared to $2.2 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in salaries and benefits, including lower non-cash stock-based compensation, as well as reduction in headcount. Legal and professional fees also had a significant decrease, as did rent expense due to terminating the lease on our second warehouse.

    Net loss in the first quarter of 2025 totaled $1.2 million, a 48% improvement from a net loss of $2.2 million in the prior year period. The decrease in net loss was primarily the result of higher net sales for the period ended March 31, 2025 combined with a decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

    Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.1 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $0.5 million as of December 31, 2024. On January 3, 2025, the Company closed a $2.6 million registered direct offering and private placement priced at the market under Nasdaq rules.

    Net cash used in operating activities totaled $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.7 million in the prior year period. Receiving inventory that was prepaid during the prior period accounted for a large portion of the change for the three months ending March 31, 2025, as well as making payments to decrease our suspended liability.

    RENO, Nev., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (“Dragonfly Energy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DFLI), an industry leader in energy storage and battery technology, today reported its financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    “We are pleased to report a second consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, driven by demand from OEM customers, demonstrating the strength of our long-term partnerships, proprietary product offerings and compelling value propositions,” commented Dr. Denis Phares, Chief Executive Officer. “While the RV market continues to navigate headwinds, we are seeing encouraging customer adoption trends, along with continued penetration of the large heavy duty trucking market.”

    “During the first quarter of 2025, we continued to implement our corporate optimization initiative, prioritizing product development to drive near term revenue and profit. For instance, this strategic shift is accelerating our development of purpose-built solutions for the trucking and industrial markets, resulting in the recent launch of our Battle Born DualFlow Power Pack, a practical, cost-effective hybrid electrification solution for the trucking industry.”

    “We have also focused on optimizing our manufacturing efficiency and throughput, enabling us to increase our production capacity without the need for increased headcount,” continued Dr. Phares. “We believe these operational improvements, together with the capital raise completed in February 2025, provide the foundation for our path to revenue growth and profitability.”

    Net Sales by Customer Type
    (in thousands)
           
      Fiscal Quarter Ended  
      March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 Change (YoY)

    Net Sales increased 6.8% to $13.4 million. OEM net sales grew 10.8% to $8.1 million, driven by increased adoption on new models by existing customers. DTC net sales were $5.0 million compared to $5.2 million, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic pressures.

    Gross Profit increased 28.7% to $3.9 million. Gross Margin was 29.4%, up 500 basis points from 24.4%, due to higher volume. Operating Expenses were $9.8 million, compared to $8.9 million. The increase was primarily due to one-time expenses related to patent litigation and the capital raise completed in February 2025.

    The Company reported a Net Loss of $(6.8) million, or $(0.93) per diluted share, compared to Net Loss of $(10.4) million or $(1.55) per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, changes in the fair market value of our warrants, and other one-time expenses, was $(3.6) million, compared to $(5.2) million.

    Summary and Outlook

    “Looking ahead, we believe Dragonfly Energy’s growing U.S.-based production capabilities—including direct control over final assembly—along with our strategic onshoring of select components, will help strengthen our competitive position in today’s volatile tariff environment. In parallel, we are taking steps to mitigate tariff-related impacts by negotiating favorable terms with suppliers and working closely with key customers regarding potential price adjustments. We remain optimistic in our ability to navigate the current macro environment while continuing to execute on our growth initiatives.”

    For the second quarter we anticipate net sales of $14.8 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 12%. Our strategic priorities for the year remain focused on driving value through product innovation, revenue diversification, and prudent cost management” Dr. Phares concluded.

  • MIL-OSI: ARRAY Unveils Hail XP: An Industry-Leading Tracker for Extreme Weather Protection  

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ARRAY Technologies (NASDAQ: ARRY) (“ARRAY” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of solar tracking technology products, software and services, today unveiled DuraTrack Hail XP™, the Company’s most advanced tracker designed to withstand extreme hail and wind events. Hail XP builds on ARRAY’s proven DuraTrack® platform with a new level of reliability engineered specifically for hail-prone regions.

    Developed with direct input from customers, insurers, and industry partners, Hail XP is purpose-built to address one of the most pressing challenges facing solar projects today: severe weather risk. With industry-leading protective stow angles available and strong stow reliability, Hail XP isn’t just about being the steepest; it’s about being the most dependable.

    “Hail XP is a breakthrough in tracker resilience,” said Aaron Gabelnick, Chief Strategy and Technology officer at ARRAY Technologies. “It represents a significant leap forward in safeguarding solar assets by combining innovative engineering with the robust reliability our products are known for, and our customers expect from ARRAY.”

    As insurers increasingly require proactive weather mitigation strategies, Hail XP sets a new Company benchmark for tracker reliability. Its dependable stow performance helps reduce downtime and damage.

    Hail XP enhances ARRAY’s industry-leading DuraTrack® system with:

    • AC-Powered Stow-on-Demand: Hail XP does not rely on batteries, providing maximum readiness when hail approaches.
    • 77-Degree Stow Capability: Hail XP moves modules to a high-tilt position in either direction regardless of wind conditions to mitigate hail impact.
    • Integrated Protection: Seamlessly integrates with ARRAY’s SmarTrack® Hail Alert Response and patented Passive Wind Stow technologies.
    • Enhanced Durability: A reinforced bearing housing, larger gear rack, and upgraded damper deliver performance even in harsh conditions.
    • Availability: Expected to be available for first shipments in early 2026.

    About ARRAY
    ARRAY Technologies (NASDAQ: ARRY) is a leading global provider of solar tracking technology to utility-scale and distributed generation customers who construct, develop, and operate solar PV sites. With solutions engineered to withstand the harshest weather conditions, ARRAY’s high-quality solar trackers, software platforms and field services combine to maximize energy production and deliver value to our customers for the entire lifecycle of a project. Founded and headquartered in the United States, ARRAY is rooted in manufacturing and driven by technology – relying on its domestic manufacturing, diversified global supply chain, and customer-centric approach to design, deliver, commission, train, and support solar energy deployment around the world.

    • As of the end of the first quarter, the Company had $17.8 million of revenue in backlog plus $7.0 – $8.0 million near-term awards and renewals to be recognized during the remainder of 2025.

    First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
    It should be noted that the following Financial Results represent the consolidation of the Company with its subsidiaries Duos Technologies, Duos Edge AI, Inc., and Duos Energy Corporation (“Duos Energy”).

    Total revenues for Q1 2025 increased 363% to $4.95 million compared to $1.07 million in the first quarter of 2024 (“Q1 2024”). Total revenue for Q1 2025 represents an aggregate of approximately $65,000 of technology systems revenue and approximately $4,890,000 in recurring services and consulting revenue. The significant revenue increase in the first quarter, compared to the same quarter last year, was primarily driven by Duos Energy beginning to execute against the Asset Management Agreement (“AMA”) with New APR that was signed on December 31, 2024. Under the AMA, Duos Energy oversees the deployment and operations of a fleet of mobile gas turbines and related balance-of-plant inventory, providing management, sales, and operational support services to New APR. The decrease in technology systems revenues was primarily attributed to delays outside of the Company’s control with deployment of our two high-speed Railcar Inspection Portals. Although these systems remain largely ready for deployment, customer delays at the deployment site continue to prevent the Company from entering the installation phase. In spite of the timing delays that continue to impact the quarterly results, management remains confident in the long-term potential of the RIP product.

    Cost of revenues for Q1 2025 increased 273% to $3.64 million compared to $0.98 million for Q1 2024. The significant increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to supporting the AMA with New APR, where Duos Energy oversees the deployment and operations of a fleet of mobile gas turbines and related balance-of-plant inventory, providing management, sales, and operational support services to New APR. An additional contributing factor to the increase in cost of revenues on services and consulting is $548,121 in amortization expense of the intangible asset related to a nonmonetary transaction, which was not present in the corresponding period of 2024. The cost of revenues on technology systems decreased compared to the equivalent period in 2024. This reduction is primarily driven by our ability in Q1 2025 to reallocate certain fixed operating and servicing costs for technology systems to support the AMA, an allocation we could not make in the comparative period because the agreement was not yet in effect. It also reflects the ramp-down of manufacturing ahead of field installation of our two high-speed Railcar Inspection Portals, which has been further delayed and further reduced cost of revenues while we await customer readiness for site deployment.

    Gross margin for Q1 2025 increased 1,288% to $1.31 million compared to $0.09 million for Q1 2024. Gross margin improved primarily due to Duos Energy beginning performance of the AMA with New APR. This includes $904,125 in revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025, related to the Company’s 5% non-voting equity interest in the ultimate parent of New APR, which carried no associated costs and therefore contributed at a 100% margin. These revenues and the associated margin contribution were not present in the prior year period.

    Operating expenses for Q1 2025 increased 9% to $3.10 million compared to $2.86 million for Q1 2024. The increase in expenses is largely attributed to non-cash stock-based compensation charged for restricted stock granted to the executive team on January 1, 2025, under new employment agreements with a three-year cliff vesting schedule. Sales and marketing costs declined as resources were allocated to costs of service and consulting revenues in support of the AMA with New APR. Conversely, research and development expenses rose 11%, reflecting new engineering hires dedicated to supporting the AMA. The Company continues to focus on stabilizing operating expenses while meeting the increased needs of our customers.

    Net operating loss for Q1 2025 totaled $1.79 million compared to net operating loss of $2.76 million for Q1 2024. The decrease in loss from operations was primarily the result of increased revenues during the quarter, driven by revenue generated by Duos Energy through the AMA with New APR.

    Net loss for Q1 2025 totaled $2.08 million compared to net loss of $2.75 million for Q1 2024. The 24% decrease in net loss was mostly attributed to the increase in revenues generated by Duos Energy through the AMA with New APR as described above.

    Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2025 totaled $3.80 million compared to $6.27 million at December 31, 2024. In addition, the Company had over $2.68 million in receivables and contract assets for a total of approximately $6.48 million in cash and expected short-term liquidity.

    Financial Outlook
    At the end of the first quarter, the Company’s contracts in backlog represented approximately $45.4 million in revenue, of which approximately $17.4 million is expected to be recognized in calendar 2025 not including an estimated $7.0 – $8.0 million in expected near-term awards and renewals. The remaining contract backlog consists of multi-year service and software agreements, along with project revenues extending beyond 2025, related to Duos, Duos Edge AI, and Duos Energy.

    Based on these committed contracts and near-term pending orders that are already performing or scheduled to be executed throughout the course of 2025, the Company is reiterating its previously stated revenue expectations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Company expects total revenue for 2025 to range between $28 million and $30 million, representing an increase of 285% to 312% from 2024. Duos expects this improvement in operating results to be reflected over the course of the full year in 2025.

    Management Commentary
    “I am delighted with the progress we have made in the first quarter and am very impressed at the speed at which the Duos team has adapted to the new opportunities in the Data Center and Power business,” said Chuck Ferry, Duos CEO. “While our Q1 results were anticipated, my expectation is that we will deliver growth, particularly in the second half, as the results of all our initiatives become booked revenues as indicated by the increase in backlog.”

    NEW YORK, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fluent, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLNT), a commerce media solutions provider, today reported unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    Don Patrick, Fluent’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our first quarter results showed the fifth consecutive quarter of strong year-over-year growth in our Commerce Media Solutions business. As we continue to execute on our strategic pivot to focus on what we see as a core, long-term growth opportunity in the commerce media marketplace, this segment has been the foundational driver of our evolving model, achieving nearly triple-digit year-over-year growth since its launch in early 2023. Underscoring our growth are the impressive partnerships with top-tier media partners and advertisers across a diverse range of market verticals. After the close of the first quarter we announced a breakthrough partnership with Rebuy Engine, a leading ecommerce personalization platform for Shopify brands. With the combined expertise of both companies, Rebuy Ads powered by Fluent is set to redefine how Shopify merchants engage with performance-driven advertising.”

    Mr. Patrick continued, “While Commerce Media Solutions is performing exceptionally well, we experienced some additional attrition in our Owned and Operated business primarily due to a reduction in media supply, particularly from social media. This trend has continued into the second quarter. To address this, we’re actively expanding our supply channels to mitigate long-term impacts. Importantly, as we continue efforts to stabilize this cash-flow positive Owned and Operated business, it remains a productive driver of our Commerce Media Solutions growth strategy. With the growth of our Commerce Media Solutions business and shifting revenue mix, we anticipate consolidated second quarter revenue to remain in line with the first quarter of 2025.”

    “Overall, we’re encouraged by our progress in the quarter, and with our visibility today, we expect to continue driving meaningful growth in our Commerce Media Solutions business through 2025 as we build a more predictable and valuable business for our shareholders,” Mr. Patrick concluded.

    Definitions, Reconciliations and Uses of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The following non-GAAP measures are used in this release:

    Media margin is defined as that portion of gross profit (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) reflecting variable costs paid for media and related expenses and excluding non-media cost of revenue. Gross profit (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) represents revenue minus cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Media margin is also presented as a percentage of revenue.

    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), excluding (1) income taxes, (2) interest expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) share-based compensation expense, (5) loss on early extinguishment of debt, (6) accrued compensation expense for put/call consideration, (7) goodwill impairment, (8) impairment of intangible assets, (9) loss (gain) on disposal of property and equipment, (10) fair value adjustment of Convertible Notes with related parties, (11) acquisition-related costs, (12) restructuring and other severance costs, and (13) certain litigation and other related costs.

    Adjusted net income is defined as net income (loss) excluding (1) share-based compensation expense, (2) loss on early extinguishment of debt, (3) accrued compensation expense for put/call consideration, (4) goodwill impairment, (5) impairment of intangible assets, (6) loss (gain) on disposal of property and equipment, (7) fair value adjustment of Convertible Notes with related parties (8) acquisition-related costs, (9) restructuring and other severance costs, and (10) certain litigation and other related costs. Adjusted net income is also presented on a per share (basic and diluted) basis.

    Below is a reconciliation of media margin from gross profit (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), which we believe is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

    We present media margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income as supplemental measures of our financial and operating performance because we believe they provide useful information to investors. More specifically:

    Media margin, as defined above, is a measure of the efficiency of the Company’s operating model. We use media margin and the related measure of media margin as a percentage of revenue as primary metrics to measure the financial return on our media and related costs, specifically to measure the degree by which the revenue generated from our digital marketing services exceeds the cost to attract the consumers to whom offers are made through our services. Media margin is used extensively by our management to manage our operating performance, including evaluating operational performance against budgeted media margin and understanding the efficiency of our media and related expenditures. We also use media margin for performance evaluations and compensation decisions regarding certain personnel.

    Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, is another primary metric by which we evaluate the operating performance of our business, on which certain operating expenditures and internal budgets are based and by which, in addition to media margin and other factors, our senior management is compensated. The first three adjustments represent the conventional definition of EBITDA, and the remaining adjustments are items recognized and recorded under U.S. GAAP in particular periods but might be viewed as not necessarily coinciding with the underlying business operations for the periods in which they are so recognized and recorded. These adjustments include certain litigation and other related costs associated with legal matters outside the ordinary course of business. We consider items one-time in nature if they are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual and have not occurred in the past two years or are not expected to recur in the next two years, in accordance with SEC rules. There were no adjustments for one-time items in the periods presented.

    Adjusted net income, as defined above, excludes certain items that are recognized and recorded under U.S. GAAP in particular periods but might be viewed as not necessarily coinciding with the underlying business operations for the periods in which they are so recognized and recorded. We believe adjusted net income affords investors a different view of the overall financial performance of the Company than adjusted EBITDA and the U.S. GAAP measure of net (loss) income.

    Media margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted net income per share are non-GAAP financial measures with certain limitations regarding their usefulness. They do not reflect our financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, these metrics are not indicative of our overall results or indicators of past or future financial performance. Further, they are not financial measures of profitability and are neither intended to be used as a proxy for the profitability of our business nor to imply profitability. The way we measure media margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies and may not be identical to corresponding measures used in our various agreements.

    Annual Revenue Run Rate

    Annual Revenue Run Rate is an operational metric that represents the annualized revenue of the Company’s media partnerships at current monetization levels, as of the end of the reporting period. The Company calculates Annual Revenue Run Rate as follows:

    • Media partners within Commerce Media Solutions with an active contract are assessed and assigned an annual media volume estimate based on the active term of the contract and the monetization rate at the end of the reporting period. The Company considers a media partner contract to be active when the contractual term commences (the “start date”) until its right to serve the partner’s commerce traffic ends. Even if the contract with the customer is executed before the start date, the contract will not count toward Annual Revenue Run Rate until the media partner’s right to receive the benefit of the services has commenced.
    • As Annual Revenue Run Rate includes only contracts that are active at the end of the reporting period, it does not reflect assumptions or estimates regarding new business. For contracts expiring within 12 months of the period-end calculation date, Annual Revenue Run Rate does reflect expectations of renewal.
    • The Company’s Commerce Media Solutions platform provides the technology to effectively monetize the partner’s media by placing relevant ads at a contracted moment of consumer engagement. Although from inception to date, improvements in the platform’s AI-powered technology have consistently driven increased rates of monetization, for the purpose of Annual Revenue Run Rate, the Company assumes a consistent monetization level to that as measured on each media partner at the end of the reporting period.

    The way the Company measures Annual Revenue Run Rate may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies and should not be viewed as a projection of future revenue.

  • MIL-OSI: BIO-key Reports Q1’25 Revenue of $1.6M and Improved Cash Position of $3.1M; Hosts Investor Call Tomorrow, Friday May 16th at 10am ET

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    HOLMDEL, N.J., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BIO-key® International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BKYI), an innovative provider of workforce and customer Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions featuring passwordless, phoneless and tokenless Identity-Bound Biometric (IBB) authentication, announced results for its first quarter (Q1’25). BIO-key will host an investor call tomorrow, Friday, May 16th at 10:00am ET (details below).

    BIO-key CEO, Mike DePasquale commented, “Our revenue rose approximately 10% sequentially vs. Q4’24, as we continue our transition to selling high-margin BIO-key branded products in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Year-over-year revenue decreased 25% due to a $1.2M two-year contract with a long-term financial services customer we closed in Q1’24, as compared to $690k recorded in Q1’25 from the customer’s addition of incremental biometric capabilities. We expect revenue from this customer to increase significantly in the next two-year period commencing in 2026, due to their expanding deployment and the addition of our one-to-many fingerprint-only biometric ID system that requires no card or account number for client Identification.

    “Our gross margin remained healthy in Q1 at 83%, and we reduced our selling, general and administrative expense by 23% year-over-year. Our cash position increased substantially to $3.1M reflecting proceeds from warrant exercises early in Q1’25. Since December 31, we have also reduced the principal balance on our outstanding note payable. These balance sheet improvements provide solid footing for BIO-key as we pursue new growth opportunities.”

    Q1 Highlights

    Mr. DePasquale continued, “Moving forward, we are seeing growing traction for our identity bound biometric solutions in defense/security and financial services applications that require the highest levels of security. In these use cases, our customers are drawn to our unique ability to authenticate the individual seeking data or network access rather than alternate factors that are far more prone to being compromised. We now support secure biometric authentication for a number of national and international defense and police organizations and are working to leverage these powerful endorsements in our business development efforts.

    “We continue to build our base of government and government related customers who appreciate the flexibility, ease of use and ability to support multiple authentication factors that create a compelling return on investment profile. We see growing interest in our unique passwordless, phoneless and tokenless authentication solutions, which meet the most pressing security and usability challenges.

    “We have built a solid presence in state, local and educational (SLED) markets domestically, as we now serve over 100 institutions with over 4M end users. In Q1’25 the Wyoming Department of Education deployed PortalGuard IDaaS, adding up to 20,000 SaaS end users. Additionally, many existing higher ed customers are migrating from our on-premises solution to PortalGuard IDaaS, further expanding our base of recurring revenue.

    “Building on this, we executed a strategic partnership and Joint Purchase Agreement in Q1’25 with California’s Education Technology Joint Powers Authority (Ed Tech JPA), resulting in PortalGuard becoming an approved solution for the alliance’s 195 K-12 schools and districts, servicing over 2.6M students. Importantly, BIO-key solutions are uniquely positioned to comply with California’s Phone-Free Schools Act (AB-1326) policies limiting or prohibiting smartphone use in schools by July 2026. Most competing solutions rely on phone authenticators or hardware security keys, neither of which are practical solutions for schools.

    “From a strategic standpoint, we are excited about the revenue and margin potential in EMEA now that we have refocused our efforts on BIO-key solutions in those markets. Our transition away from Swivel Secure licensed solutions beginning in the second half of 2024 resulted in some challenging year-over-year revenue comparisons but we fully expect to return our EMEA performance to growth and enhanced margins over the remainder of 2025.

    “Based on the security, flexibility, ease of deployment and compelling ROI provided by our solutions, we feel well positioned to deliver improved top- and bottom-line results in 2025. However, given the timing of large customer orders or renewals, our financial performance is likely to fluctuate on a quarter-to-quarter basis. Given increasing interest in our biometric solutions, growing adoption of passwordless, phoneless and tokenless IAM solutions, our improved balance sheet, strong margin profile, and revenue traction in EMEA markets, we are very optimistic about our growth outlook. We also continue to seek opportunities to reduce costs and lower our breakeven level to support our path to positive cash flow and profitability.”

    Financial Results

    Total revenues decreased to $1,607,159 in Q1’25 from $2,181,203, mainly due to the impact of $1.2M in Q1’24 revenue from a 2-year renewal contract with a long-term financial services customer vs. $690k from this customer in Q1’25. License fee revenue decreased to $1,098,758 in Q1’25 from $1,950,434 a year ago, reflecting the variance in revenue from the long-term financial services customer, as well as the impact on revenue of transitioning from selling third-party Swivel Secure products and services to BIO-key products, in the EMEA region.

    Service revenues increased to $272,598 in Q1’25 from $213,122 in Q1’24, including approximately $265,000 and $193,000, respectively, of recurring maintenance and support revenue, and $8,000 and $20,000, respectively, of non-recurring custom services revenue. The recurring revenue increase of $72,000 or 37% was due to incremental support services for a large customer service agreement. Non-recurring custom services decreased due to the removal of a large Swivel Secure customer.

    Hardware sales increased to $235,803 in Q1’25 from $17,647 in Q1’24, due largely to increased purchases of fingerprint biometric scanners in support of certain customers’ expanded deployments in Q1’25.

    Gross profit decreased to $1,327,661 in Q1’25 from $1,881,560 in Q1’24, reflecting gross margins of 82.6% and 86.3%, respectively. The gross profit decline is due primarily to lower revenue in Q1’25 as well as the impact of higher levels of lower margin hardware revenue.

    BIO-key reduced its Q1’25 operating expenses by $422,195 to $1,968,299 from $2,390,494 in Q1’24, due to reductions of $410,449 in SG&A and $11,746 in research, development and engineering. Q1’25 SG&A expenses decreased 23% to $1,372,524 from $1,782,973 in Q1’24, reflecting reductions in administration, sales personnel costs, and professional service fees. The RD&E decrease was due primarily to lower rent costs.

    Reflecting lower revenues which was partially offset by lower operating costs, BIO-key’s Q1’25 net loss increased to $736,545, or ($0.16) per share, as compared to $510,285, or ($0.32) per share, in Q1’24.

    Balance Sheet

    As of March 31, 2025, BIO-key’s total current assets improved to $4.6M, including $3.1M of cash and cash equivalents, $0.8M of net accounts receivable and due from factor, and approximately $358,000 of inventory. This compares to total current assets of $1.9M at December 31, 2024, including approximately $438,000 of cash and cash equivalents, $0.8M of net accounts receivable and due from factor, and $378,000 of inventory.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Caliber (NASDAQ: CWD; “CaliberCos Inc.”), a real estate investor, developer, and asset manager, today reported results for the first quarter ended on March 31, 2025.

    First Quarter 2025 Platform Financial Highlights (compared to First Quarter 2024)

    • Platform revenue of $3.5 million, compared to $4.7 million
      • Asset management revenue of $3.5 million drove the stated results
      • No significant performance allocations were earned, compared to prior period
    • Platform net loss of $4.1 million, or $3.59 per diluted share, compared to Platform net loss of $3.6 million, or $3.30 per diluted share

    Management Commentary

    “Building on the narrowed strategy we outlined earlier this year, Caliber is now actively executing with a focus in hospitality, multifamily, and multi-tenant industrial real estate,” said Chris Loeffler, CEO of Caliber. “While our Q1 results reflect some of the transitional costs associated with this shift, our recent business developments set the stage for success.

    “Our recently announced partnership with Hyatt is a tremendous win for Caliber. The announcement is also a vote of confidence from an industry leader that provides a strategic advantage in building our Caliber Hospitality portfolio.

    “Our strategy is to continue focusing on fee-generating, income-producing assets while reducing our exposure to long-duration development projects. We have also strengthened our liquidity through new equity offerings, strengthened our balance sheet through financing, and improved our operating efficiency.”

    Business Update

    The following are key milestones completed both during and subsequent to the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    • On March 17, 2025, Caliber announced an offering of Series AA Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock had been qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and that the Company is seeking to raise up to $20 million through the offering.
    • On March 27, 2025, Caliber announced the launch of its 1031 Exchange Program, a tax-deferral strategy that allows real estate investors to sell a property and reinvest all of the proceeds into a like-kind property while deferring capital gains taxes.
    • On April 22, 2025, Caliber announced the recent Phoenix City Council’s unanimous approval of the Company’s Canyon Village redevelopment project, a retrofit of a distressed +300,000 square foot office building to a 376-unit rental multifamily residential building. The project also benefits from opportunity zone tax incentives.
    • On May 8, 2025, Caliber announced that Caliber Hospitality Development (“CHD”) has entered into a Development Rights Agreement with an affiliate of Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) to exclusively develop 15 new Hyatt Studios hotels in target market areas within Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Texas and Louisiana.

Platform refers to the performance of CWD itself, excluding the performance of any assets and funds that are included in our consolidated results, as required by the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that Platform performance offers the most meaningful information needed to understand the value of CWD. The assets and funds that are consolidated into our GAAP presentation are included because Caliber is a guarantor of debt held by these assets and funds.

    While GAAP consolidation rules require CWD to include the performance and cash flows of these assets and funds in our consolidated financial information, CWD does not benefit from the performance of those assets and funds, except to the extent that CWD earns fees from managing the assets and funds (which are included in the Platform results). Management believes presenting Platform results, which exclude consolidated assets, directly shows the business performance that CWD stockholders benefit from.

    Consolidated Financial Results

    Caliber’s GAAP consolidated financial statements have been impacted by the deconsolidation of certain variable interest entities’ assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These entities were deconsolidated because Caliber was no longer a guarantor on the respective entities’ third-party debt. Caliber’s GAAP financial metrics are impacted by the timing of deconsolidation. As such, prior periods presented may not be comparable due to the deconsolidation of certain entities in the current period.

    NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

    Consolidated GAAP Results

    The following information presents our consolidated GAAP results which includes the performance of certain entities we manage where Caliber is the guarantor of debt owed by those entities, despite not having significant equity at risk. As a result of these guarantor commitments, Caliber is required under GAAP to include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of those entities even though a shareholder of CWD stock is neither entitled to nor exposed by those entities’ benefits or obligations. This accounting outcome also removes revenues that we earn from those entities, which a shareholder of CWD stock would be entitled to. See discussion elsewhere related to CWD’s Platform performance.

    Definitions

    Assets Under Management

    AUM refers to the assets we manage or sponsor. We monitor two types of information with regard to our AUM:

    1. Managed Capital – we define this as the total capital we fundraise from our customers as investments in our funds. It also includes fundraising into our corporate note program, the proceeds of which were used, in part, to invest in or loan to our funds. We use this information to monitor, among other things, the amount of ‘preferred return’ that would be paid at the time of a distribution and the potential to earn a performance fee over and above the preferred return at the time of the distribution. Our fund management fees are based on a percentage of managed capital or a percentage of assets under management, and monitoring the change and composition of managed capital provides relevant data points for Caliber management to further calculate and predict future earnings.
    2. Fair Value (“FV”) AUM – we define this is as the aggregate fair value of the real estate assets we manage and from which we derive management fees, performance revenues and other fees and expense reimbursements. We estimate the value of these assets quarterly to help make sale and hold decisions and to evaluate whether an existing asset would benefit from refinancing or recapitalization. This also gives us insight into the value of our carried interest at any point in time. We also utilize FV AUM to predict the percentage of our portfolio which may need development services in a given year, fund management services (such as refinance), and brokerage services. As we control the decision to hire for these services, our service income is generally predictable based upon our current portfolio AUM and our expectations for AUM growth in the year forecasted.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    We use non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections, make strategic decisions, and for other discretionary purposes. We believe that these measures enhance the understanding of ongoing operations and comparability of current results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to analyze our financial performance because they provide investors a view of the performance attributable to CaliberCos Inc. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use these measures in addition to, and not as an alternative for, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly identified measures of other companies because not all companies use the same calculations. These measures may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which amounts are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments.

    Asset Management Platform or Platform

    Platform refers to the performance of the Caliber asset management platform, which generates revenues and expenses from managing our investment portfolio, which does not include any consolidated assets or funds. These activities include asset management, transaction services, and performance allocations. Management believes that this is an important view of the Company because it communicates performance of the Company that would be most useful for understanding the value of CWD.

    Fee-Related Earnings and Related Components

    Fee-Related Earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure used to assess our ability to generate profits from fee-based revenues, focusing on whether our core revenue streams, are sufficient to cover our core operating expenses. Fee- Related Earnings represents the Company’s net income (loss) before income taxes adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest expense and extraordinary or non-recurring revenue and expenses, including performance allocation revenue and gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, public registration direct costs related to aborted or delayed offerings and our Reg A+ offering, the share repurchase costs related to the Company’s Buyback Program, litigation settlements, and expenses recorded to earnings relating to investment deals which were abandoned or closed. Fee-Related Earnings is presented on a basis that deconsolidates our consolidated funds (intercompany eliminations) and eliminates noncontrolling interest. Eliminating the impact of consolidated funds and noncontrolling interest provides investors a view of the performance attributable to CaliberCos Inc. and is consistent with performance models and analysis used by management.

    Distributable Earnings

    Distributable Earnings is a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure equal to Fee-Related Earnings plus performance allocation revenue and less interest expenses and provision for income taxes. We believe that Distributable Earnings can be useful as a supplemental performance measure to our GAAP results assessing the amount of earnings available for distribution.

    Platform Earnings

    Platform Earnings represents the performance of the Caliber asset management platform, which generates revenues and expenses from managing our investment portfolio, excluding any consolidated assets or funds.

    Platform Earnings per Share

    Platform Earnings per Share is calculated as Platform Earnings divided by weighted average CWD common shares outstanding.

    Platform Adjusted EBITDA

    Platform Adjusted EBITDA represents the Company’s Distributable Earnings adjusted for interest expense, the share repurchase costs related to the Company’s Buyback Program, other income (expense), and provision for income taxes on a basis that deconsolidates our consolidated funds (intercompany eliminations), Loss on CRAF Investment Redemption, Gain on extinguishment of Payroll Protection Program loans, and eliminates noncontrolling interest. Eliminating the impact of consolidated funds and noncontrolling interest provides investors a view of the performance attributable to the CaliberCos Inc. Platform and is consistent with performance models and analysis used by management.

    Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

    Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA represents the Company’s and the consolidated funds’ earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, transaction fees, expenses and other public registration direct costs related to aborted or delayed offerings and our Reg A+ offering, the share repurchase costs related to the Company’s Buyback Program, litigation settlements, expenses recorded to earnings relating to investment deals which were abandoned or closed, any other non-cash expenses or losses, as further adjusted for extraordinary or non-recurring items.

    Reduces Net Loss for Quarter by 66% Year-Over-Year, Reflecting Improved Operating Efficiency

     Strong Combine Participation and Scalable Digital Platform Expected to Drive Higher Margin Growth

    SCOTTSDALE, AZ, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Signing Day Sports, Inc. (“Signing Day Sports” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: SGN), the developer of the Signing Day Sports app and platform to aid high school athletes in the recruitment process, today announced selected financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and provided a business update.

    Daniel Nelson, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Signing Day Sports, stated, “One of our primary objectives this quarter was to streamline costs and strike the right balance between growth and efficiency—resulting in a 66% year-over-year reduction in net loss. At the same time, we have seen strong athlete engagement through our national combine series and weekly recruiting webinars, which continues to expand our brand visibility. With enhancements to the digital platform and the signing of a new Sponsorship Agreement with the U.S. Army Bowl during the quarter, we believe we are well-positioned to drive growth in higher-margin, subscription-based revenues. We are also advancing strategic initiatives that we believe could significantly enhance long-term shareholder value. Overall, we have laid a strong foundation for scalable growth and meaningful returns, while continuing to enable new college recruiting opportunities for student-athletes and coaches nationwide.”

    During the first quarter of 2025, Signing Day Sports advanced its growth strategy by hosting five U.S. Army Bowl Regional Combines in key cities—Atlanta, Georgia; Orlando, Florida; Chicago, Illinois; Phoenix, Arizona; and Jackson, Mississippi—which attracted nearly 1,000 high school athletes. These events reinforce the strong demand for verified performance data and enhanced recruiting visibility.

    To extend this momentum, the Company expanded its digital footprint with weekly recruiting webinars that spotlight top student-athletes and promote direct engagement with college coaches. Signing Day Sports also renewed its role as the National Recruiting Partner to the U.S. Army Bowl through 2026, maintaining exclusive rights to national and regional combines and generating revenue from athlete registrations. Verified data collected from these events is automatically integrated into athlete profiles on the Company’s app, enhancing usability and value for both users and coaches.

    Financial highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2025

    • Revenue totaled approximately $0.15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $0.23 million for the comparable 2024 period.
    • General and administrative expenses were approximately $0.97 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $2.04 million for the 2024 period.
    • Net loss was approximately $0.84 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of approximately $2.50 million in the same period in 2024.

    The selected results included in this press release should be reviewed together with the Company’s complete financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The complete financial results are available in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2025 and available at www.sec.gov.

    Accelsius continues to build momentum within the large and growing liquid cooling market

    Innventure reiterates confidence in achieving revenue growth inflection during the second half of 2025

    ORLANDO, Fla., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Innventure, Inc. (NASDAQ: INV) (“Innventure”), a technology commercialization platform, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    “Innventure’s operating companies continued their momentum to start 2025, with both Accelsius and AeroFlexx further positioning themselves for revenue growth inflection in the second half of this year.” said Bill Haskell, Innventure’s Chief Executive Officer. “We founded Innventure to bring disruptive technologies to market by building companies we believe represent at least $1 billion enterprise value opportunities. Our companies are led by incredibly talented operators who are armed with differentiated technologies designed to meet significant unmet market needs. When it comes to high-growth ventures, timing the inflection point is inherently challenging, but from where we sit today, the confidence we have in our current family of companies has never been higher. ”

    Mr. Haskell continued, “We are most excited about Accelsius’s position in the two-phase, direct-to-chip liquid cooling market. Accelsius has a market leading technology and is engaged in deep discussions with many of the major players including hyperscalers, OEMs, colocation operators and AI-as-a-Service operators. Josh and his team are at the forefront of a seismic liquid cooling adoption cycle that we and data center operators across the ecosystem believe will occur in the near future. Once this shift takes hold, Accelsius is well equipped to catch the wave and drive significant value for our shareholders.”

    Conference Call and Webcast

    A conference call to discuss these results has been scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET on May 15, 2025. The event will be webcasted live via Innventure’s investor relations website https://ir.innventure.com/ or via this link.

As owner-operators, Innventure takes what it believes to be breakthrough technologies from early evaluation to scaled commercialization utilizing an approach designed to help mitigate risk as it builds disruptive companies it believes have the potential to achieve a target enterprise value of at least $1 billion. Innventure defines ‘‘disruptive’’ as innovations that have the ability to significantly change the way businesses, industries, markets and/or consumers operate.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    We use certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP) to supplement our consolidated financial statements. These non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information to investors to facilitate comparisons of past and present operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating performance, and offer greater transparency on how we evaluate our business activities. These measures are integral to our processes for budgeting, managing operations, making strategic decisions, and evaluating our performance.

    Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items, non-recurring expenses, and other items that are not indicative of our core operating activities. These may include stock-based compensation, acquisition costs, and other financial items. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is valuable for investors and analysts as it provides additional insight into our operational performance, excluding the impacts of certain financing, investing, and other non-operational activities. This measure helps in comparing our current operating results with prior periods and with those of other companies in our industry. It is also used internally for allocating resources efficiently, assessing the economic outcomes of acquisitions and strategic decisions, and evaluating the performance of our management team.

    There are limitations to Adjusted EBITDA, including its exclusion of cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures and contractual commitments, and changes in or cash requirements for working capital needs. Adjusted EBITDA also omits significant interest expenses and related cash requirements for interest and payments. While depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the associated assets will often need to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the cash required for such replacements. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA does not account for income or other taxes or necessary cash tax payments.

    Investors should use caution when comparing our non-GAAP measure to similar metrics used by other companies, as definitions can vary. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures.

    In presenting Adjusted EBITDA, we aim to provide investors with an additional tool for assessing the operational performance of our business. It serves as a useful complement to our GAAP results, offering a more comprehensive understanding of our financial health and operational efficiencies.

    Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

    Certain statements in this press release are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Innventure’s (the “Company’s”) future financial or operating performance, expectations regarding new contractual arrangements, anticipated product line expansions and product testing and market acceptance, and these statements may refer to projections and forecasts. Forward-looking statements are often identified by future or conditional words such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “will,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions), but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

    The forward-looking statements are based on the current assumptions and expectations of future events that are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances and their potential effects and speak only as of the date of this press release. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the parties) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in the Company’s public filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the following: (a) the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to execute on strategies and achieve future financial performance, including their respective future business plans, expansion and acquisition plans or objectives, prospective performance and opportunities and competitors, revenues, products and services, pricing, operating expenses, market trends, liquidity, cash flows and uses of cash, capital expenditures, and the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to invest in growth initiatives; (b) the implementation, market acceptance and success of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ business models and growth strategies; (c) the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash; (d) the Company’s access to funds under the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA”) or the Securities Purchase Agreement and related convertible debentures with YA due to certain conditions, restrictions and limitations set forth therein; (e) certain restrictions and limitations set forth in the Company’s debt instruments, which may impair the Company’s financial and operating flexibility; (f) the Company and its subsidiaries ability to generate liquidity and maintain sufficient capital to operate as anticipated; (g) the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to obtain funding for their operations and future growth and to continue as going concerns; (h) the risk that the technology solutions that the Company and its subsidiaries license or acquire from third parties or develop internally may not function as anticipated or provide the benefits anticipated; (i) developments and projections relating to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ competitors and industry; (j) the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to scale the operations of their businesses; (k) the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to establish substantial commercial sales of their products; (l) the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to compete against companies with greater capital and other resources or superior technology or products; (m) the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to meet, and to continue to meet, applicable regulatory requirements for the use of their respective products and the numerous regulatory requirements generally applicable to their businesses; (m) the outcome of any legal proceedings against the Company or its subsidiaries; (o) the Company’s ability to find future opportunities to license or acquire breakthrough technology solutions from multinational corporations or other third parties (“Technology Solutions Provider”) and to satisfy the requirements imposed by or to avoid disagreements with its current and future Technology Solutions Providers; (p) the risk that the launch of new companies distracts the Company’s management from its other subsidiaries and their operations; (q) the risk that the Company may be deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act, which would impose burdensome compliance requirements and restrictions on its activities; (r) the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to sufficiently protect their intellectual property rights and to avoid or resolve in a timely and cost-effective manner any disputes that may arise relating to its use of the intellectual property of third parties; (s) the risk of a cyber-attack or a failure of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ information technology and data security infrastructure; (t) geopolitical risk and changes in applicable laws or regulations; (u) potential adverse effects of other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (v) operational risks related to the Company and its subsidiaries that have limited or no operating history; and (w) limited liquidity and trading of the Company’s securities.

    Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, the Company undertakes no obligation to update statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    First Quarter 2025 Net Revenues of $5.5 Million, Gross Profit of $2.2 Million and Gross Margin of 40%

    Increased Investments In Our People And Digital Transformation Will Enable Us To Stay Resilient and Ready In A Rapidly Changing Marketplace

    New Pro-U.S. Border Security Administration Provides Additional Macro Tailwinds for 2025 & Beyond

    REDMOND, Wash., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Airship AI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AISP) (“Airship AI” or the “Company”), a leader in AI-driven video, sensor, and data management surveillance solutions, today reported its financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    Q1 2025 Financial Highlights

    • Net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 were $5.5 million.
    • Gross profits for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 were $2.2 million.
    • Gross margin percentage was 40% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The margins reflected increased solution sales with more third-party hardware than Airship AI software.
    • Operating loss was $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 reflected in increased stock based compensation and increased investments in sales and marketing related expenditures which should increase future sales.
    • Other income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $25.4 million, primarily due to a gain from a change in the fair value of earnout liability of $9.8 million, and a change in fair value of warrant liability of $15.5 million.
    • Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $23.7 million, or $0.75 per basic share, primarily related to noncash income of $25.4 million.
    • Net cash used in operating activities was $2.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
    • Cash and cash equivalents were $8.8 million as of March 31, 2025.

    Q1 2025 & Subsequent Operational Highlights

    • Backlog as of March 31, 2025 was $2.0 million, representing firm fixed price contracts awarded in the fourth quarter of 2024 or first quarter of 2025 that will be shipped and invoiced through the remainder of calendar year 2025. Backlog is not indicative of future quarterly revenue as approximately 75% of quarterly revenue is transactional and recognized in the same quarter.
    • Our total validated pipeline at the end of the quarter was approximately $135 million, consisting of single and multi-year opportunities for AI-driven edge, video, and sensor and data management platform across all our customer verticals. Our pipeline includes opportunities at varying stages of progression with expected award timeframes throughout the next 18-24 months.
    • Due to the sensitive nature of many of our customers and deployment use cases, we are often restricted from publicly disclosing awards and or limited as to the specifics of the customer and use case. Consequently, most of our awards are executed on closed or restricted contract vehicles which further limits the sharing of information that might be otherwise available.
    • We grew our internal sales and sales engineering force, adding seasoned sales professionals with deep industry expertise, partner relationships, and customer knowledge that will allow us to ramp up quickly.
    • We participated in multiple customer facing tradeshows during the quarter including brand new industry wide and vertically focused shows where we had a significantly increased level of participation and or visibility as compared to historical participation.
    • As part of our transition to a partner driven sales model, we participated in several partner shows and events, including those sponsored by integrators and dealers, and those by manufacturers of hardware sensors and or solutions that we integrate with and manage for our customers.
    • We hosted our invite only government focused customer event outside Austin, TX, demonstrating and training on the latest in Airship AI developed and or supported solutions. This year’s focus was on solutions supporting challenges along the southern border and was well attended by agencies across the federal government.
    • On April 23, 2025, we entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC, as sales agent, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of our common stock up to a maximum of $25 million, which shares are registered on a registration statement that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may offer to sell any of the securities, or any combination of the securities, described in this prospectus, in each case, in one or more offerings, up to $50 million.
    • On March 21, 2025, our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 for the sale of up to $50 million of our securities was declared effective by the SEC.

    2025 Outlook

    • 30% revenue growth and positive cash flow for calendar year 2025 supported by a strong and validated pipeline of ~$135 million, improving gross profit margins, and a strong recurring revenue model.
    • Make tactical and strategic investments across our sales and business development organizations through organic cash flow from business operations and the potential cash exercise of public warrants.
    • Release new Outpost AI product offerings as well as expand custom trained AI models supporting emerging edge analytic workflows.
    • Continue innovation across our core Acropolis software platform supporting new workflows for cloud-based deployments in highly secure operational environments.
    • Develop and execute expansionary opportunities in the commercial and retail markets, particularly around those companies involved in combating organized retail crime.
    • Improve sourcing, supply chain management and production-based process efficiencies to help drive continued margin expansion.
    • Focus on brand awareness and engagement in new verticals through targeted marketing outreach opportunities, social media platforms, Airship AI hosted technology events, and industry tradeshow events.

    Management Commentary

    “The first quarter of 2025 was largely overshadowed by the actions of the new administration as they worked to finalize the approval and release of budgets and special appropriations,” said Paul Allen, President of Airship AI. “In the face of these headwinds, our team was able to generate solid revenues for the quarter of $5.5 million at a gross margin percentage of 40%, while increasing our investments in our people and customers.

    “As we worked to successfully execute awarded contracts in our current backlog, we dedicated significant time and resources to advancing pipeline opportunities. These efforts are positioning us to move quickly once budgets are approved and released. Based on current forecasts, we anticipate meaningful activity beginning mid-second quarter, with continued growth expected through the end of Q2 and into Q3.

    “Simultaneously, many of our federal customers are projecting increased funding through supplemental appropriations. This has initiated a wave of market research discussions focused on potential solutions to address emerging mission needs. We anticipate that many of these conversations will evolve into tangible opportunities extending across the current and upcoming fiscal years.

    “In the commercial segment, our strategic push into new market verticals, driven by partnerships with integrators and business collaborators, has been met with strong interest. Several early wins confirm both the market’s appetite for differentiated solutions and the soundness of our strategic investment in people and partners. This validation further supports continued investment to build on our momentum and drive sustained growth.

    “These collected efforts have also affirmed that we are on the right track with our digital transformation strategy, focused squarely on how AI at the far and near edge can solve for our customers’ existing and emerging threats in the public safety and security space. Building on our existing investments in the AI Factory, we expect to launch several new products in 2025, including advanced computer vision analytics powered by machine learning and a Generative AI application that will transform how customers access and interact with their data.

    “Finally, amid broader macroeconomic conditions, we are closely monitoring tariff developments. As a U.S.-based software company, we do not expect these tariffs to significantly impact our core business. In areas where we provide hardware solutions, such as our Outpost AI edge appliance, we work proactively with global suppliers to maintain optimal inventory levels. This approach helps us manage costs effectively and ensure timely, competitively priced delivery of our products and services.

    “The combination of our strong existing pipeline focused on leveraging existing budgets, increased business development opportunities leveraging supplemental appropriations, and the investments in people and customers already made leaves us confident in our ability to execute against our stated objectives of 30% YoY revenue growth and achieving cash flow positive operations,” concluded Mr. Allen.

    “We continue to uphold our lean operating model, emphasizing disciplined expense management and capital preservation as we support our pending acquisition and work through our remaining backlog,” said Tony McDonald, Chairman and CEO of CEA Industries. “Excluding acquisition-related costs, we minimized our operating expenses through headcount reductions, the elimination of product development costs and reduced advertising and marketing spend, with the goal of preserving our balance sheet and minimizing cash burn.”

    “We are also making continued progress toward completing our acquisition of Fat Panda and remain enthusiastic about the strategic opportunity it presents. This transaction marks a significant milestone in our transformation strategy, providing a pathway into the high growth vape industry through Fat Panda’s established leadership, expansive retail presence, vertically integrated infrastructure, and experienced management team. Their consistent growth and strong margin profile positions us well to drive sustainable value creation. We look forward to sharing additional updates as we work toward closing the transaction.”

    First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    Revenue in the first quarter of 2025 increased to $0.7 million compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributed to greater net bookings and higher revenue recognition from the Company’s backlog.

    Net bookings in the first quarter of 2025 increased to $1.0 million compared to $0.3 million in the year-ago period. The Company’s quarter-end backlog increased to $0.8 million compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2024.

    Gross profit in the first quarter of 2025 increased to $39,000 compared to a gross loss of $154,000 for the same period in 2024. The improvement in gross profit was primarily driven by higher revenue and fixed costs becoming a smaller percentage of revenue. Fixed costs include the cost of services, engineering, manufacturing, and project management.

    Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were $1.1 million compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to acquisition-related expenses.

    Net loss in the first quarter of 2025 was $1.1 million or $(1.33) per share, compared to a net loss of $0.9 million or $(1.34) per share for the same period in 2024.

    Cash and cash equivalents were $8.7 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $9.5 million on December 31, 2024, while working capital decreased by $1.0 million during this period. At March 31, 2025, the Company remained debt free.

These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To supplement our financial results on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis, we use non-GAAP measures including net bookings and backlog, as well as other significant non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation and depreciation expenses. We believe these non-GAAP measures are helpful in understanding our past performance and are intended to aid in evaluating our potential future results. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to our GAAP results and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information prepared or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way to view aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.

Although first quarter results did not include revenue from Longanesi, with the onset of sales in early May 2025 we expect to report revenue in our second quarter results. With a healthy balance sheet and growing operational momentum, we’re focused on delivering long-term value to our shareholders.”

    About AleAnna

    AleAnna is a technology-driven energy company focused on bringing sustainability and new supplies of low-carbon natural gas and RNG to Italy, aligning traditional energy operations with renewable solutions, with developments like the Longanesi field leading the way in supporting a responsible energy transition. With three conventional gas discoveries in Italy already made and with a potential of up to fourteen new natural gas exploration projects that could be initiated this decade, our goal is to play a pivotal role in Italy’s energy transition. Italy’s extensive infrastructure, featuring 33,000 kilometers of gas pipelines, three major gas storage facilities, and a strong base of existing RNG facilities, aligns with AleAnna’s commitment to sustainability. AleAnna’s RNG projects’ portfolio includes three plants under development and almost 100 potential projects that would represent up to a €1.1 billion potential investment in the next few years. AleAnna operates regional headquarters in Dallas, Texas, and Rome, Italy.
