"The second quarter of 2025 marked a pivotal period for Sonim as we laid the groundwork for a strong finish to the year," said Peter Liu, CEO of Sonim Technologies. "Tier-one carrier launches of our XP Pro series and 5G flip feature phone are now underway in the third quarter. We also debuted Sonim MegaConnect, the world's first HPUE mobile hotspot—in collaboration with FirstNet and AT&T—and we are energized by the overwhelming customer enthusiasm and robust orders. Additionally, the recently announced agreement for Social Mobile to acquire Sonim underscores the value of our innovation and market strategy. We are confident that these milestones position us for sustained growth and success as we move forward."

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

• Net revenue of $11.2 million, down 33% from the first quarter of 2025. The first quarter reflected a one-time $5.3 million addition to revenue related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements.

• GAAP net loss for the quarter was $7.5 million, compared to net income of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. The second quarter of 2025 includes a loss on the impairment of contract fulfillment assets related to the end of life of our legacy products, as well as increased costs related to our contested proxy solicitation. The first quarter of 2025 includes a one-time $5.3 million addition to revenue related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements.

• Adjusted EBITDA* was negative $3.2 million, unchanged from the first quarter of 2025.

• Ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents totaling $2.0 million, trade accounts receivable of $2.9 million, and inventory valued at $9.9 million.

• Raised $5.4 million in capital through sales of our common stock, net of issuance costs. Transaction proceeds were used for further expansion of product offerings and to finance new product launches.

Second Quarter 2025 Business Highlights

• Launched XP Pro smartphone with AT&T.

• Commenced shipments of the Sonim H500 mobile hotspot to distributors in Europe to support third quarter launches with tier-one operators Deutsche Telekom in Germany, Telenor in Norway, and Swisscom in Switzerland.

Corporate Updates

• In July, Sonim entered into a definitive agreement with Social Mobile under which Social Mobile agreed to purchase substantially all of Sonim's assets in an all-cash transaction for $15.0 million and up to an additional $5.0 million in an earn-out payment. The transaction received approval by the Sonim Board of Directors and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including stockholder approval.

• In July, Sonim stockholders elected all five of the Company's director nominees—Mike Mulica, Peter Liu, James Cassano, Jack Steenstra, and newly nominated director, George Thangadurai—to the Company's Board of Directors.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

"Our second quarter results reflect some one-time expenses driven by unique circumstances, including legal fees associated with the proxy battle and due diligence efforts," said Clay Crolius, Chief Financial Officer of Sonim Technologies. "While these factors, along with the timing shifts of product shipments, impacted our short-term financials, they were necessary steps in positioning the company for long-term success. As we move forward, we remain focused on exploring strategic opportunities to monetize our Nasdaq listing and deliver maximum value to our shareholders. We are committed to disciplined financial management and leveraging our resources to support growth and innovation in the quarters ahead."

Revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $11.2 million, a decrease from $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. The first quarter of 2025 included a one-time $5.3 million addition to revenue related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2025 was $0.8 million, or 8% of revenues, compared to the first quarter of 2025 gross profit of $8.4 million, or 50% of revenues. Gross profit margins reflected a $1.1 million loss on impairment of contract fulfillment assets in the second quarter of 2025 and $5.3 million in revenue related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements in the first quarter of 2025.

Operating expenses decreased from $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 to $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily because R&D costs decreased by $0.7 million due to a substantial portion of development costs for new products being completed in the first quarter of 2025. This decrease was partially offset by higher G&A and Sales & Marketing expenses due to higher legal and professional fees related to the contested proxy.

The net loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $7.5 million, as compared to net income of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, which included a $5.3 million one-time adjustment to revenue due to the expiration of customer allowance agreements. Adjusted EBITDA* in the second quarter of 2025 was negative $3.2 million, which was unchanged from the first quarter of 2025.

Balance Sheet and Working Capital

Sonim ended the second quarter of 2025 with $2.0 million in cash, $2.9 million in trade accounts receivable, and $9.9 million in inventory.

Subsequent to quarter end, Sonim received net proceeds of $7.1 million related to sales of common stock through a public offering and the issuance of debt. These proceeds improve the Company's balance sheet and provide working capital to support future product launches.

* Non-GAAP financial measure. An explanation and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures are presented at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP and operational measures are useful in evaluating our performance-related metrics and present them as a supplemental measure of our performance.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, adjustments due to the expiration of customer allowance agreements, impairment of contract fulfillment assets, financing costs, and non-recurring legal and professional fees. Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial metric in assessing our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business, such as certain material non-cash items and other adjustments, such as stock-based compensation.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and overall results of operations for various reasons, including: one-time non-cash asset impairment costs, financing costs, and non-recurring legal and professional fees as they do not reflect normal operations; non-cash equity grants made to employees at a certain price do not necessarily reflect the performance of our business at such time, and as such, stock-based compensation expense is not a key measure of our operating performance; and non-cash depreciation and amortization are not considered a key measure of our operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA: as a measure of operating performance; for planning purposes, including the preparation of budgets and forecasts; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance; and as a consideration in determining compensation for certain key employees.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include: it does not reflect all cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; it does not reflect interest expense on our debt or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments; and other companies in our industry may define and/or calculate this metric differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Set forth below is a reconciliation from net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the respective periods (in thousands):
