Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a leading provider of
wireless connectivity solutions that creates and delivers embedded
components, external antennas, and integrated systems across the
globe, today reported select preliminary unaudited results for its
fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Based on preliminary unaudited results, the company expects
sales for the fourth quarter of 2024 to range between $14.6 million
and $15.6 million, or $15.1 million at the midpoint. The company’s
sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 were impacted by
higher-than-expected channel excess inventories and two Internet of
Things (IoT) project delays.
The company expects to report positive adjusted EBITDA (a
non-GAAP metric) for the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by gross
margin improvement and lower operating expenses.
As of December 31, 2024, the company estimates its cash and cash
equivalents at $8.5 million, an increase from $7.3 million in the
previous quarter and $7.9 million at the same time last year.
Complete financial results for the fourth quarter and full year
2024 are expected to be released after the market closes on
Thursday, February 27, 2025. The conference call details will be
issued closer to the event.
The preliminary fourth quarter 2024 financial results and cash
position announced today are based on the company’s current
expectations and may be adjusted as a result of, among other
things, completion of financial closing procedures and an audit for
the 2024 fiscal year.
Management Commentary
“Inventory challenges were more significant than anticipated,
substantially impacting our fourth quarter sales,” said Airgain
President and CEO Jacob Suen. “While we navigate these headwinds,
we continue to execute our strategic initiatives and position
Airgain for sustained long-term growth. We have successfully
completed another carrier certification for our AirgainConnect
Fleet platform. We also established a strategic partnership with
Omantel, a leading telecommunications provider in Oman, to
revolutionize the 5G landscape across the Middle East and North
Africa with our Lighthouse solution. This marks our first
multi-year, multi-million-dollar contract for Lighthouse. Looking
ahead, we are excited about the potential of our product launches,
which are expected to make a meaningful impact in the second half
of 2025.”

Forward-Looking Statements
Airgain cautions you that statements in this press release that
are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking
statements. These statements are based on the company’s current
beliefs and expectations. These forward-looking statements include
statements regarding expected fourth quarter 2024 financial results
and cash position, timing of the announcement of complete financial
results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, the potential
amount of revenue from the Omantel contract and the expected impact
of product launches. The inclusion of forward-looking statements
should not be regarded as a representation by Airgain that any of
our plans will be achieved. Actual results may differ from those
set forth in this press release due to the risks and uncertainties
inherent in our business, including, without limitation:
adjustments to the preliminary financial results and cash position
in connection with completion of financial closing procedures and
an audit for the 2024 fiscal year, and the timing thereof; the
potential for the strategic partnership with Omantel to not meet
expectations; the market for our products is developing and may not
develop as we expect; our operating results may fluctuate
significantly, including based on seasonal factors, which makes
future operating results difficult to predict and could cause our
operating results to fall below expectations or guidance; supply
constraints on our and our customers’ ability to obtain necessary
components in our respective supply chains may negatively affect
our sales and operating results; risks associated with the
performance of our products, including bundled solutions with
third-party products; our products are subject to intense
competition, and competitive pressures from existing and new
companies may harm our business, sales, growth rates, and market
share; risks associated with quality and timing in manufacturing
our products and our reliance on third-party manufacturers; we may
not be able to maintain strategic collaborations under which our
bundled solutions are offered; overall global supply shortages and
logistics delays within the supply chain that our products are used
in, as well as adversely affecting the general U.S. and global
economic conditions and financial markets, and, ultimately, our
sales and operating results; any rise in interest rates and
inflation may adversely impact our margins, the supply chain and
our customers’ sales, which may negatively affect our sales and
operating results; our future success depends on our ability to
develop and successfully introduce new and enhanced products for
the wireless market that meet the needs of our customers, including
our ability to transition to provide a more diverse solutions
capability; we sell to customers who are price conscious, and a few
customers represent a significant portion of our sales, and if we
lose any of these customers, our sales could decrease
significantly; we rely on a limited number of contract
manufacturers to produce and ship all of our products, and our
contract manufacturers rely on a single or limited number of
suppliers for some components of our products and channel partners
to sell and support our products, and the failure to manage our
relationships with these parties successfully or a failure of these
parties to perform could adversely affect our ability to market and
sell our products; if we cannot protect our intellectual property
rights, our competitive position could be harmed or we could incur
significant expenses to enforce our rights; and other risks
described in our prior press releases and in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the
heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and any
subsequent filings with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to
revise or update this press release to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof. All forward-looking statements
are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, which
is made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains the non-GAAP financial measure
adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization (Adjusted EBITDA). We believe this financial measure
provides useful information to investors with which to analyze our
operating trends and performance. In computing Adjusted EBITDA, we
exclude stock-based compensation expense, which represents non-cash
charges for the fair value of stock awards, interest income, net of
interest expense offset by other expense, depreciation and
amortization, workforce reduction severance and exit costs, and
provision (benefit) for income taxes. Because of varying available
valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of
equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash operating
expenses, we believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures
that exclude non-cash expense allows for meaningful comparisons
between our core business operating results and those of other
companies, as well as providing us with an important tool for
financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating our
own core business operating results over different periods of time.
Management considers these types of expenses and adjustments, to a
great extent, to be unpredictable and dependent on a considerable
number of factors that are outside of our control and are not
necessarily reflective of operational performance during a
period.
Our non-GAAP measures may not provide information that is
directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our
industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP
financial results differently, particularly related to
non-recurring, unusual items. Our Adjusted EBITDA is not a
measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be
considered as an alternative to operating or net income or as an
indication of operating performance or any other measure of
performance derived in accordance with GAAP. We do not consider
this non-GAAP measure to be a substitute for, or superior to, the
information provided by GAAP financial results.
We have not included a statement regarding our expected net
income or loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 because it is not
known and we are unable to project certain items related to its
calculation.
