PITTSBURGH, PA, May 11, 2023 – Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI) (“Smith Micro” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“We accomplished several key initiatives during our first quarter of 2023,” said William W. Smith Jr., president, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Smith Micro. “Most significantly, we took the necessary steps in reallocating resources to better streamline operations across the entire organization and to substantially reduce expenses. We anticipate $4 million of quarterly cost savings as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 as a result and expect to achieve that savings target in the second quarter.”

Smith continued, “Looking ahead we remain very positive and excited about our Fiscal 2023. We expect a new launch with one of our Tier 1 carrier partners on the SafePath® platform, and our sales pipeline in both the U.S. and European markets is growing nicely for both our SafePath and ViewSpot® platforms, building momentum as we look at the remainder of our fiscal year.”

Smith Micro reported revenue of $10.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $12.7 million reported in the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $7.6 million, compared to $9.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Non-GAAP gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $7.8 million.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 70 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to 71 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 72% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

GAAP net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $6.9 million, or $0.11 loss per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $7.0 million, or $0.13 loss per share, for the same period in 2022.

Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $3.6 million, or $0.06 loss per share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $3.9 million, or $0.07 loss per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP net loss excludes the items noted below under "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, and non-GAAP 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 our income generation and has therefore excluded the following items from GAAP earnings calculations: stock compensation, intangibles amortization, depreciation, changes to derivatives and warrants, personnel severance and reorganization activities. 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 our ongoing operational performance. The table below presents the differences between non-GAAP net (loss) income and net (loss) income 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.

Among the important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are reduction in revenue from a terminating customer agreement earlier or at a more rapid rate than expected, delays in our ability to fully execute on our expense reduction plans due to statutory and other requirements, the risk of harm to our business resulting from our cost reduction efforts, customer concentration, given that the majority of our sales depend on a few large customer relationships, delay or failure of our customers to accept and deploy our products and services or new or upgraded versions thereof, delay or failure of our customers’ end users to adopt our products and services or new or upgraded versions thereof, our reliance on third party application stores for the distribution of our software applications to users and any barriers to such distribution, including any delay or failure of such third party to approve new versions of our applications or their implementation of policies that may be harmful to our business, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results, changes in demand for our products from our customers and their end users, changes in requirements for our products imposed by our customers or by the third party providers of software and/or platforms that we use, our ability to effectively integrate, market and sell acquired product lines, new and changing technologies and customer acceptance and timing of deployment of those technologies, our ability to compete effectively with other software and technology companies, and the existence and terms of our convertible notes and related agreements, including that they may restrict our ability to obtain additional financing, and adversely affect our business, financial condition and cash flows from operations in the future. These and other factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements.
