Insights

Strategic Financial Analyst

Q3 shows clear operational improvement, strengthened liquidity actions, and a pending asset sale that materially changes company prospects.

Revenue rose to $16.2 million in Q3 2025, a 45% sequential increase, while GAAP net loss narrowed to $4.8 million; adjusted EBITDA improved to negative $2.0 million. These figures indicate the business saw meaningful demand for the refreshed product portfolio and the MegaConnect HPUE launch, and management reduced operating spend to improve quarterly results.

The balance sheet remains thin with $2.1 million in cash and $11.0 million of inventory, but the company raised approximately $4.8 million in equity proceeds this quarter and entered a definitive agreement to sell substantially all assets for $15.0 million plus up to $5.0 million earn-out; the asset sale closing is expected late in the fourth quarter and depends on customary conditions and shareholder approval. Watch closing confirmation, cash runway before closing, inventory conversion, and the earn-out conditions over the next few weeks to quarter-end.

Revenue increased 45% sequentially in Q3 2025, driven by demand for new product portfolio and the successful launch of the MegaConnect HPUE mobile hotspot

Net loss narrowed to $4.8 million as operating expense declined and sales improved

Stockholders approved strategic initiatives including reverse stock split, share increase and reelection of Sonim Board nominees

Balance sheet strengthened through capital raise and new financing initiatives

San Diego, California--(Newsfile Corp. - October 31, 2025) - Sonim Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SONM), a leading provider of rugged mobile solutions for first responders, government, and enterprise, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

"The third quarter of 2025 marked a pivotal transition for Sonim as we began to see the results of our strategic focus with the new portfolio," said Peter Liu, Chief Executive Officer of Sonim Technologies. "The successful launch of the MegaConnect HPUE mobile hotspot with AT&T and FirstNet, alongside growing demand for our products, highlights the early success of our refreshed portfolio. At the same time, we are making significant progress toward completing the sale of our assets to NEXA Mobility (formerly Social Mobile), a critical step in positioning the company for future opportunities. We remain committed to building on this momentum and delivering value to stockholders in the fourth quarter."

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

• Net revenue for Q3 2025 was $16.2 million, up 45% sequentially from Q2 2025.
• GAAP net loss for Q3 2025 was $4.8 million, improving from a GAAP net loss of $7.5 million in Q2 2025. Revenue growth and a decrease in operating expenses contributed to a sequential decrease in net loss in Q3 2025 compared to Q2 2025; however, one-time expenses tied to a potential hostile takeover and our continued strategic initiatives contributed to higher operating costs in both quarters.
• Adjusted EBITDA* for Q3 2025 was negative $2.0 million, reflecting an improvement from negative $3.2 million in Q2 2025.
• As of September 30, 2025, Sonim had $2.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable of $3.5 million, and inventory valued at $11.0 million.
• During the three months ended September 30, 2025, Sonim received net proceeds from equity offerings of approximately $4.8 million. The transaction proceeds were used to pay for one-time expenses and to finance new product launches.

Third Quarter Business Highlights

• Launched the Sonim MegaConnect™ 5G HPUE hotspot with AT&T and achieved FirstNet Trusted certification.
• Launched the Sonim XP Pro with T-Mobile in the United States; Bell, Rogers and Telus in Canada.
• Launched the Sonim XP Pro Thermal with Deutsche Telekom in Germany.
• Launched the Sonim XP3plus 5G feature flip phone with AT&T and achieved FirstNet certification.
• Launched the Sonim XP Pro Thermal and XP Pro E in Europe via authorized resellers.

Corporate Updates

• In July 2025, Sonim entered into a definitive agreement with NEXA (formerly known as Social Mobile) under which NEXA has agreed to purchase substantially all of Sonim's assets for $15.0 million in cash and up to $5.0 million in the form of an earn-out payment. The transaction is expected to close late in the fourth quarter, subject to customary closing conditions, including shareholder approval.
• In July 2025, Sonim stockholders elected all five of the Company's director nominees—Mike Mulica, Peter Liu, James Cassano, Jack Steenstra, and newly appointed director, George Thangadurai—to the Company's Board of Directors.
• In October 2025, Sonim stockholders approved a reverse stock split, which was effected at a ratio of 1-for-18. Trading on a split-adjusted basis began on October 27, 2025. This reverse stock split enables Sonim to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements.
• In October 2025, Sonim stockholders approved an increase of authorized shares to 1 billion, providing flexibility to support potential future capital transactions.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

"Our third-quarter results reflect the impact of one-time expenses related to the proxy contest, due diligence for the asset sale, and preparations for a special shareholders' meeting that took place in October," said Clay Crolius, Chief Financial Officer of Sonim Technologies. "While these costs affected our short-term results, they position us to complete key transactions and unlock future value. We remain focused on exploring strategic opportunities to monetize our Nasdaq listing and maximizing shareholder value, while maintaining disciplined financial management to drive growth and innovation."

Revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $16.2 million, an increase from $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, which was driven by increased demand for the Sonim XP Pro and XP Pro Thermal and the successful launch of the Sonim MegaConnect HPUE mobile hotspot with AT&T and FirstNet.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2025 was $1.8 million, or 11% of revenues, compared to the second quarter of 2025 gross profit of $0.8 million, or 8% of revenues. Gross margins reflect additional labor costs in the third quarter of 2025 to address quality control and software issues and the second quarter reflected a $1.1 million loss on impairment of contract fulfillment assets.

Operating expenses decreased to $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a $1.0 million reduction in sales & marketing costs as fewer products were launched, and a $0.7 million decrease in R&D expenses as fewer new products were under development.

Net loss improved to $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, driven by higher sales and reduced sales & marketing expenses.

Balance Sheet and Working Capital

Ended the third quarter of 2025 with $2.1 million in cash, $3.5 million in trade accounts receivable, and $11.0 million in inventory.

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):
