Smith Micro Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

PITTSBURGH--()--Smith Micro Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMSI) (“Smith Micro” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“We believe that the actions that we’ve taken to rationalize our costs over the past several months, coupled with the expansion of our revenue opportunities, have positioned us for a return to profitability on a non-GAAP basis and free cash flow during 2025,” said William W. Smith Jr., president, chief executive officer, and chairman of the board of Smith Micro. “With the pending launch of our Tier One carrier in Europe, new product innovations that align with our customers' strengths, and new prospects on the horizon, we are confident that the Company is positioned for growth over the coming quarters.”

“We had targeted eliminating at least $2 million in quarterly expenses from our cost structure by the fourth quarter of this year. As compared with the first quarter of this year, we have already achieved $1.9 million in cost reductions during the third quarter and we have yet to see the full benefit of the actions that we have taken,” Smith continued. “I’m very confident in our outlook for 2025, as evidenced by the recent $3 million investment I made into the Company last month as part of our combined $6.9 million capital raise.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Smith Micro reported revenue of $4.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $11.0 million reported in the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $3.3 million, compared to $8.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 71.6 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to 77.0 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

GAAP net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $6.4 million, or $0.54 loss per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.61 loss per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $3.6 million, or $0.30 loss per share, compared to non-GAAP net gain of $0.6 million, or $0.08 earnings per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Non-GAAP net loss excludes the items noted below under "Non-GAAP Measures."

All share and per share amounts for common stock herein have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the one-for-eight reverse stock split of our common stock, which became effective April 10, 2024 at 11:59 pm Eastern time.

Third Quarter Year-to-Date 2024 Financial Results

Smith Micro reported revenue of $15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $32.3 million reported in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $10.7 million compared to $23.9 million reported for the same period in 2023.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 68.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 74.0 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $44.3 million, or $4.17 loss per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $17.7 million, or $2.27 loss per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $11.8 million, or $1.11 loss per share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $3.6 million, or $0.46 loss per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Non-GAAP net loss excludes the items noted below under "Non-GAAP Measures."

Total cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 were $1.5 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company considers, and has included in this press release, the following non-GAAP financial measures and a non-GAAP reconciliation from the equivalent GAAP metric: non-GAAP net (loss) income, non-GAAP gross profit, and non-GAAP basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share in the presentation of financial results in this press release. Management believes this non-GAAP presentation may be more meaningful in analyzing the Company's income generation and has therefore excluded the following items from GAAP earnings calculations: stock compensation, intangibles amortization, depreciation, fair value adjustments, amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, goodwill impairment, personnel severance and reorganization activities, and adjustment for non-recurring items. Additionally, since the Company currently has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized to reduce future cash payments for income taxes, these non-GAAP adjustments have not been tax effected, and the resulting income tax expense reflects actual taxes paid or accrued during each period. This presentation may be considered more indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance. The table below presents the differences between non-GAAP net loss and net loss on an absolute and per-share basis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and the non-GAAP financial measures as reported by Smith Micro may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
