Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Elauwit Connection, Inc. reported very strong growth for 2025 while remaining unprofitable. Full-year revenue rose to $21.6 million from $8.5 million, a 154% increase, with recurring service revenue up 151%. Fourth-quarter revenue was $6.1 million versus $3.3 million a year earlier.

Despite this expansion, Elauwit posted a full-year net loss of $4.2 million, slightly wider than the $3.5 million loss in 2024, and adjusted EBITDA was -$3.7 million compared with -$3.2 million. The balance sheet improved: cash and cash equivalents increased to $6.2 million from $0.3 million, total liabilities declined to $7.5 million from $12.3 million, and stockholders’ equity shifted from a deficit of -$4.5 million to positive $4.4 million.

Management highlighted growing contracted, activated and billed units and a larger sales pipeline, including about 8,000 units of new bidding opportunities from property groups representing potentially up to 50,000 units, and broader initiatives targeting 2,000 new accounts and up to 12 million units in a stated $25 billion addressable market.

Positive

  • Revenue and scale inflection: 2025 revenue grew 154% to $21.6 million from $8.5 million, with gross profit rising to $4.0 million from $1.2 million, indicating accelerating adoption of Elauwit’s managed broadband and WiFi services.
  • Balance sheet improvement: Cash and cash equivalents increased to $6.154 million from $0.287 million, total liabilities declined to $7.527 million from $12.262 million, and stockholders’ equity shifted from a $4.536 million deficit to positive $4.416 million.

Negative

  • Continuing losses and cash burn: Net loss widened to $4.228 million from $3.474 million and adjusted EBITDA remained negative at $3.672 million, reflecting that the business has not yet reached profitability despite strong top-line growth.

Insights

Elauwit posts triple-digit revenue growth, narrows balance sheet risk but still burns cash.

Elauwit Connection delivered rapid scale-up in 2025, with revenue rising 154% to $21.6 million and gross profit more than tripling to $4.0 million. This confirms traction in its broadband and WiFi services across multifamily, student housing and senior living properties.

However, the company remains loss-making, with net loss of $4.2 million and adjusted EBITDA of -$3.7 million. Operating expenses nearly doubled to $7.7 million as Elauwit invested in general and administrative functions and sales and marketing. Profitability will depend on converting growing units and contracts into higher-margin recurring revenue.

The balance sheet strengthened: cash increased to $6.154 million, total liabilities fell to $7.527 million, and stockholders’ equity swung to a positive $4.416 million as of December 31, 2025. Management cites a $25 billion addressable market, new sales organization, and a pipeline targeting up to 12 million units; future filings and earnings updates will show how effectively this pipeline translates into sustained revenue and eventual profitability.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) 1 | | $ | (3.7 | ) | | $ | (3.2 | )"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures financial
"Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this earnings release"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
recurring service revenue financial
"Key Performance Indicators Elauwit uses the following key performance metrics ... recurring service revenue"
Revenue that a company earns on a steady, repeat basis from ongoing services—typically subscriptions, maintenance contracts, or usage-based fees—rather than one-time sales. Investors care because it acts like a predictable paycheck for the business: it smooths cash flow, signals customer loyalty, and makes future earnings easier to forecast, which often supports higher valuations and lower investment risk. Think of it as the monthly subscription fee that keeps the lights on.

forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains forward-looking statements, including with respect to the Company’s future financial results"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Elauwit Connection, Inc. Announces 154% Increase in Full Year 2025 Revenue

 

Recurring Service Revenue Increases 151%

 

New Sales Organization Producing Immediate Traction

 

Activated, Contracted and Billed Units All Continue to Increase

 

COLUMBIA, SC, March 31, 2026 – Elauwit Connection, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELWT) ("Elauwit," the "Company," “we,” or “our”), a national managed services provider of turnkey broadband and property-wide WiFi networks serving multifamily, student housing, and senior living communities, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

 

Said Dan McDonough, Executive Chairman, “Elauwit continues to execute on all fronts – sales activity is ramping, installations are moving ahead to plan, and property owners choosing Elauwit are seeing the benefits of increased revenue sources and higher valuations. We are activating units at a steady pace then transitioning these new customers into billing units over the first 12 months of our multi-year services agreements, creating steady and predictable growth in Elauwit’s monthly recurring service revenue.

 

“Even more exciting, we are steadily contracting for more properties to install, with interest in both our managed services and network-as-a-service (“NaaS”) business models. Augmenting our existing sales momentum as we exited 2025, we launched our new sales team during the first quarter of 2026, and they are off to an exciting start. Within the first 8 weeks they have identified approximately 8,000 units of incremental bidding opportunity from property groups representing potentially up to 50,000 total units over time. In total, our new sales initiatives are targeting 2,000 new business accounts representing up to 12 million units of opportunity.

 

“As we onboard more properties across our $25 billion addressable market, and secure wins with more ownership groups representing multiple properties, we believe the industry is increasingly coming to know Elauwit’s win-win-win scenario: better service to residents, improved revenue share and value to property owners, and profitable growth for Elauwit.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to net loss, which is a U.S. GAAP measure, Elauwit presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes the presentation of adjusted EBITDA, reflecting non-GAAP adjustments, provides important supplemental information to investors and other users of its financial statements in evaluating the operating results of the Company. In particular, by excluding expenses that are not directly related to its operating performance, Elauwit is able to present a view of its underlying business that the management team uses to analyze its historical performance and plan for its future performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by management and the Board of Directors to assess the Company’s financial and operating performance. This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for net loss determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

 

Key Performance Indicators

 

Elauwit uses the following key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations: recurring service revenue, contracted units, activated units and billed units. The Company’s recurring service revenue, contracted units, activated units and billed units are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

 

Elauwit defines recurring service revenue as the monthly recurring service revenue initiated by network activation under our long-term service agreements. Management believes that the Company’s ability to retain and expand revenue from existing customers is an indicator of the long-term value of its customer relationships and potential future business opportunities.

 

Elauwit defines contracted units as the total number of individual units waiting to be built or in the process of being installed across the properties using its networks. Management believes this metric is useful to investors because it illustrates the total number of units the Company will serve once the construction process is complete.

 

Elauwit defines activated units as the total number of individual units that are fully installed and on, but not yet necessarily collecting full recurring service revenue due to onboarding process, across the properties using its networks. Management believes this metric is useful for investors because it illustrates the total number of individual units the Company will collect revenue on once the onboarding process is complete, and can be tracked over time to show the reach of its networks.

 

Elauwit defines billed units as the total number of individual units that it is currently collecting revenue on across the properties using its networks. Management believes this metric is useful to investors because it illustrates the total number of individual units the Company collects revenue on and can be tracked over time to show the reach of its networks. Management believes it is more useful to compare total billed units as opposed to total customers or total subscribers because the Company’s revenue is more closely tied to the number of units it serves than the total number of customers or subscribers.

In Q4 2025, Elauwit reported revenue of $6.1 million versus $3.3 million in Q4 2024. Quarterly gross profit was $0.5 million versus $0.3 million, while net loss was $2.3 million compared with $1.0 million, and adjusted EBITDA was - $2.2 million.

What non-GAAP measure does Elauwit Connection highlight and why?

Elauwit highlights adjusted EBITDA, which was - $3.7 million in 2025 versus - $3.2 million in 2024. Management believes adjusted EBITDA, which excludes items like interest and depreciation, helps investors better understand underlying operating performance and is used internally to assess financial results.

Elauwit tracks recurring service revenue, contracted units, activated units, and billed units. Management believes these unit-based metrics better reflect revenue potential than customer counts because the company’s revenue is closely tied to the number of rental units it serves.
