Insights

Quantum's Q2 FY25 results reveal concerning trends with $70.5M revenue (-6.9% YoY) and widening losses. The GAAP net loss of $13.5M (-$2.82 per share) significantly deteriorated from -$3.3M last year. While subscription ARR grew 28%, operational challenges persist.

The debt situation is particularly worrisome, with total debt increasing to $133M from $109.4M YoY. Higher interest expenses of $6.1M (vs $3.9M) are eating into margins. Cash position declined to $17M from $25.8M, raising liquidity concerns.

The bright spots include improved gross margins at 41.5% and reduced operating expenses, leading to breakeven adjusted EBITDA. However, the Q3 guidance of $72M revenue with continued losses suggests the turnaround remains challenging.

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Quantum Corporation (Nasdaq: QMCO) ("Quantum" or the "Company"), a leader in solutions for AI and unstructured data, announced today financial results for its fiscal second quarter 2025 ended September 30, 2024.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

  • Revenue was $70.5 million
  • GAAP gross profit was $29.3 million, or 41.5% of revenue
  • GAAP net loss was $13.5 million, or ($2.82) per share
  • Subscription ARR was up 28% year-over-year at $19.6 million
  • Adjusted non-GAAP net loss was $8.7 million, or ($1.82) per share
  • Adjusted EBITDA was approximately breakeven

“Sales bookings and customer win rates for the quarter were consistent with our overall business expectations as we continued to transform the company,” stated Jamie Lerner, Chairman and CEO of Quantum. “However, operational headwinds with the supply chain continued this quarter, resulting in exiting the quarter with higher than anticipated backlog. Evidence of our transformation can be seen in the progress of gross margin improving 490 basis points sequentially to above 41%, as well as non-GAAP operating expenses being reduced by more than 8% year-over-year. These actions contributed to our achievement of breakeven adjusted EBITDA for the quarter.

“Our business strategy remains focused on high-priority growth initiatives, particularly around Myriad and ActiveScale as we are seeing demonstrated proof points of our ability to significantly expand within our target verticals. In FQ2'25, we achieved significant pipeline growth for Myriad and ActiveScale. An existing Quantum customer who was looking for a comprehensive solution with high-speed primary storage and a secure, cost-efficient, long-term storage solution purchased our Myriad and ActiveScale Cold Storage products, as a Quantum Go subscription. Additionally, as we maintain a strong base with our data protection offerings, Quantum’s recently launched DXi T-Series is the only solution in the market offering robust cyber-resilient features in a 1U, all-flash data protection appliance. We’ve had multiple strategic wins against the competition based on the DXi T-Series fast recovery times in the face of a cyberattack due to its leading data reduction and recovery rates. This is a testament to our continued investment in innovation and our laser focus on allowing our customers to recognize the value in their data.

“While our efforts are still short of the intended results, we are seeing positive proof points through our new product introductions, including Myriad traction, combined with driving a more operationally efficient business.”

Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 vs. Prior Year Quarter

Revenue for the fiscal second quarter of 2025 was $70.5 million, compared to $75.7 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2024, largely reflecting lower revenue contribution from primary storage. GAAP gross profit in the second quarter of 2025 was $29.3 million, or 41.5% of revenue, compared to $32.7 million, or 43.3% of revenue, in the prior fiscal year quarter.

Total GAAP operating expenses in the fiscal second quarter of 2025 were $36.2 million, or 51.4% of revenue, compared to $36.4 million, or 48.1% of revenue, in the fiscal second quarter of 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $27.6 million, compared to $25.9 million in the prior fiscal year primarily driven by increased non-recurring new ERP systems spend along with accounting and tax work. Research and development expenses in the fiscal second quarter of 2025 were $8.3 million, compared to $9.2 million in the prior fiscal year quarter. Non-GAAP operating expenses in the second quarter of 2025 were $30.4 million, compared to $33.3 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2024.

GAAP net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $13.5 million, or ($2.82) per share, which included a loss on debt extinguishment of $2.3 million and negative $1.2 million non-cash intercompany foreign currency adjustment, and compared to a GAAP net loss of $3.3 million, or ($0.70) per share in the prior fiscal year quarter. Excluding the income statement impact of the warrants, stock compensation, restructuring charges, and other non-recurring costs, non-GAAP adjusted net loss in the quarter was $8.7 million, or ($1.82) per share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $4.4 million, or ($0.93) per share in the fiscal second quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal second quarter 2025 was essentially breakeven at ($0.3) million, compared to $1.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 and a $3.0 million improvement sequentially.

For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results, please see the financial reconciliation tables below.

Liquidity and Debt (as of September 30, 2024)

  • Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $17.0 million, compared to $25.8 million as of September 30, 2023.
  • Total interest expense for the second quarter was $6.1 million, compared to $3.9 million for the same period a year ago.
  • Outstanding term loan debt, excluding debt issuance costs, was $104.7 million, compared to $87.9 million as of September 30, 2023. Outstanding borrowings on revolving credit facility was $28.3 million, compared to $21.5 million as of September 30, 2023.

Guidance

For the fiscal third quarter of 2025, the Company expects the following guidance:

  • Revenues of $72.0 million, plus or minus $2.0 million
  • Non-GAAP adjusted basic net loss per share of ($0.75), plus or minus $0.05
  • Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $2.0 million

This assumes an effective annual tax rate of negative 3%; non-GAAP adjusted net loss per share assumes an average basic share count of approximately 4.8 million in the fiscal third quarter of 2025.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including non-GAAP adjusted net loss, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP operational expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as net loss before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, loss on debt extinguishment, non-recurring project costs, including restatement and debt-related matters and fair value of warrants adjustments.

“GAAP net loss” as referred to in this press release represents “Net loss attributable to common stockholders”. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as net loss before restructuring charges, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, loss on debt extinguishment, non-recurring project costs, including restatement and debt-related matters and fair value of warrants adjustments. We calculate adjusted net income (loss) per basic and diluted share using the above-referenced definition of adjusted net income (loss).

We have provided below reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net income (loss), non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP operational expenses, to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. We have presented adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and the board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operating plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the amounts eliminated in calculating adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business performance. For example, in the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we have excluded a large inventory reserve provision caused by global supply chain disruptions since the start of the pandemic and the longer associated lead times that resulted in older generation products being displaced by next-generation solutions. We do not believe an inventory adjustment of this magnitude is reasonably likely to reoccur in the foreseeable future and do not believe it is indicative of our ongoing operations; accordingly, we have excluded its impact from our non-GAAP results. We believe adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per basic and diluted share serve as appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of our business and help our investors better compare our operating performance over multiple periods. Accordingly, we believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and our board of directors.

Our use of non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

  • Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements.
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) interest and tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; (2) capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (3) changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (4) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation expense; (5) potential future costs related to our long-term debt; (6) potential future restructuring expenses; (7) potential future costs related to business acquisitions; (8) gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, (9) and acquisition-related amortization of intangibles assets from business combinations, or (10) fair market adjustments related to the Company’s warrants.
  • Adjusted net income (loss) does not reflect: (1) potential future restructuring activities; (2) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation expense; (3) potential future costs related to our long-term debt; (4) potential future costs related to business acquisitions; (5) gain (loss) on debt extinguishment; (6) acquisition-related amortization of intangibles assets from business combinations; or (7) fair market adjustments related to the Company’s warrants.

Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) along with other U.S. GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics and our U.S. GAAP financial results.

In addition, this press release includes forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted earnings or net loss per share and adjusted EBITDA, each a non-GAAP measure used to describe our expected performance. We have not presented a reconciliation of these anticipated non-GAAP measures to our most comparable GAAP financial measures, because the reconciliation could not be prepared without unreasonable effort. The information necessary to prepare the reconciliations is not available on a forward-looking basis and cannot be accurately predicted. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the calculation of the comparable GAAP financial measure.

The tables below reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA, net income, diluted EPS, operating expenses and gross margin with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures (in thousands, unaudited).
