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.”

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.
