Insights

Quantum's Q3 FY2025 results reveal a company in transition, with encouraging operational improvements overshadowed by significant debt challenges. The 29% growth in subscription ARR to $21.3 million demonstrates successful execution of the recurring revenue strategy, while the 230 basis point sequential improvement in gross margin to 43.8% reflects enhanced operational efficiency.

The standby equity purchase agreement with Yorkville Advisors represents a strategic pivot in the company's capital structure management. This facility, allowing for the issuance of up to 2.3 million shares, provides financial flexibility without immediate dilution, as Quantum maintains control over timing and volume. However, the current debt burden of $143.4 million combined with escalating interest expenses ($6.8 million this quarter vs $3.9 million year-ago) creates urgency for debt reduction.

New business wins in the DXi and ActiveScale product lines, particularly the multi-million dollar European retail deal, indicate market competitiveness. However, the Q4 guidance of $66 million$2 million) suggests a sequential revenue decline of approximately 9%, raising questions about growth sustainability.

The positive adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 million marks a significant turnaround from the negative $2.6 million in the year-ago quarter, demonstrating that cost optimization efforts are gaining traction. The $5 million sequential improvement in adjusted EBITDA is particularly noteworthy, though maintaining this trajectory while managing the debt reduction process will be crucial.

Execution on Business Transformation Drives Significant Year-Over-Year Improvements

Takes Initial Step on Path Toward Becoming Debt-Free

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 third quarter 2025 ended December 31, 2024.

Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

  • Revenue increased to $72.6 million
  • Subscription ARR was up 29% year-over-year at $21.3 million
  • GAAP gross profit increased to $31.8 million, or gross margin of 43.8%
  • GAAP net loss was $71.4 million, or ($14.56) per share, which included a non-cash adjustment of $61.6 million to the fair market value of warrant liabilities
  • Adjusted non-GAAP net loss was $4.0 million, or ($0.81) per share
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $4.7 million, a $5 million improvement sequentially

“Third quarter revenue increased sequentially and was above the midpoint of guidance, as recent bookings momentum and customer wins were converted into realized sales,” commented Jamie Lerner, Chairman and CEO of Quantum. “As clear evidence of the benefits from our self-help actions, this quarter we achieved positive adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 million, well above our expectations, and generated improving free cash flow. Contributing to these results was gross margin expanding 230 basis points sequentially to almost 44%, combined with a significant reduction in operating expenses.

“A fundamental component of our overall business transformation has been significantly reducing the company’s outstanding debt toward achieving financial independence and eliminating the associated costly burdens of interest and fees. Consistent with this objective, we recently entered into a standby equity purchase agreement with a new financial partner that solidifies access to additional capital and liquidity. We believe this strategic transaction will facilitate both a stronger balance sheet and lower cost structure through a staged reduction of the company’s outstanding debt, while also providing increased flexibility to execute on and accelerate our ongoing growth initiatives.

”Also during the quarter, we continued to gain traction with the success of our new DXi data protection appliances, which provide one of the most competitive solutions in their market. Recent notable wins included a multi-million dollar installed base refresh at a top European retailer as well as new business at a multinational technology manufacturing company. Additionally, we extended the momentum with our ActiveScale solution at new and existing customers, including a 7-figure win with a Japanese research institute and a prominent cloud service provider during the quarter. Our Myriad product also continues to be at the forefront of innovation as we collaborated with a leader in the advancement of AI currently fusing quantum computing-inspired algorithms and AI/ML to tackle problems once deemed unsolvable.

“In summary, this quarter represented tangible evidence of improved financial performance from our ongoing business transformation and operational efficiency initiatives over the past year. Although there is still additional work to be done in order to deliver consistently improving results, we believe we are on the right path toward achieving this goal. As we take additional steps to drive higher quality revenue and reduce the company’s debt, we believe Quantum is well positioned to deliver increasing profitability and cash flow in the coming years.”

Purchase Agreement

The Company has been exploring several strategic and financial initiatives to pay down and eliminate its current outstanding debt, which would also help to lower the cost structure, including lowering interest expense and other fees the Company has incurred.

On February 11, 2025, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 registering up to approximately 2.3 million shares for resale of shares issued or to be issued and sold to YA II PN, Ltd. (a fund managed by Yorkville Advisors Global, LP.) pursuant to the standby equity purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Purchase Agreement provides Quantum with the flexibility to support ongoing operations and accelerate growth initiatives with no more than approximately 1.15 million shares of common stock of the Company issuable under the Purchase Agreement until shareholder approval is obtained. There is no obligation for Quantum to sell any shares under the Purchase Agreement, and the Company retains control over both timing and volume of any future issuances.

Guidance

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

  • Revenue of $66 million, plus or minus $2.0 million
  • Non-GAAP adjusted basic net loss per share of ($1.16), plus or minus $0.05
  • Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $1.7 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 5.8 million in the fiscal fourth 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 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 June 30, 2024, we excluded the costs associated with the restatement of financial statements for fiscal year 2022, fiscal year 2023 and associated quarters, and the first fiscal quarter of 2024. We do not believe these expenses are reasonably likely to reoccur in the foreseeable future and do not believe it is indicative of our ongoing operations; accordingly, we have excluded the 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).
