Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q1 2025 results reveal a compelling growth story, with revenue surging to $3.17 million, marking an 11-fold year-over-year increase. The 54.1% adjusted gross margin suggests strong pricing power and operational efficiency, particularly impressive for a company in the advanced connectivity solutions space where margins typically range from 40-50%.

The reduction in operating losses by 28.9% quarter-over-quarter to $2.5 million demonstrates improving operational leverage, though the company's annual cash burn rate remains significant at approximately $10 million based on current quarterly losses. This burn rate, while improving, requires careful monitoring given the company's market capitalization of approximately $49 million.

Several key factors warrant attention:

• The expansion in aerospace and defense customers represents a strategic pivot toward more stable, long-term contracts, potentially reducing revenue volatility
• The successful integration of recent acquisitions suggests effective M&A execution, though investors should monitor goodwill and intangible asset amortization impacts
• Research collaborations in next-generation connectivity could provide future growth catalysts, particularly in emerging multi-spectral imaging applications

The extensive use of non-GAAP metrics, while providing additional transparency, requires careful analysis. The adjustments for acquisition-related expenses and stock-based compensation suggest significant one-time costs that may continue as the company pursues its growth strategy. The improvement in adjusted operating loss indicates positive operational trajectory, but achieving sustainable profitability remains a key challenge.

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mobix Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBX) (“Mobix Labs” or the “Company”), a leading provider of advanced connectivity solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, which ended December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance, including:

• Adjusted Gross Profit, which is defined as GAAP Gross Profit excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, inventory write-offs and stock-based compensation expense; and
• Adjusted Loss from Operations, which is defined as GAAP Loss from Operations excluding depreciation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, merger and acquisition-related expenses, inventory write-offs and stock-based compensation expense.

The Company’s management believes it is useful to consider these non-GAAP financial measures, together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, as they provide more transparency into current business trends, exclusive of the effects of certain non-cash expenses, acquisition-related charges, and items that may not be present in comparative fiscal periods. Management believes that, when considered together with reported GAAP financial measures, these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and management in understanding the Company’s ongoing operations and operating trends and in analyzing the Company’s underlying financial performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. In the future, Mobix may consider whether other items should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful information to measure Mobix Labs’ financial and operating performance. In particular, these measures facilitate comparison of our operating performance between periods and may help investors to understand better our operating results. Internally, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's operating results and in planning and forecasting. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure is contained in the financial tables to this press release.
