Annual Report for Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2024 (Form 10-K)

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis here and throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, risks described in the section entitled "Risk Factors."

Overview of Our Business

The Company is primarily an aircraft development company. The Company also provides real-time location systems ("RTLS") for the industrial sector, which was Legacy Inpixon's focus prior to the closing of the XTI Merger. Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, the Company is developing a vertical takeoff and landing ("VTOL") airplane that is designed to take off and land like a helicopter and cruise like a fixed-wing business airplane. We are primarily engaged in developing the aerodynamic performance and top-level engineering design of the TriFan 600, building and testing a two-thirds scale unmanned version of the TriFan 600, and seeking funds from investors to enable the Company to advance the detailed design and certification of the TriFan 600, and to eventually engage in commercial production and sale of the TriFan 600.

Our RTLS solutions leverage cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, AI, and big data analytics to provide real-time tracking and monitoring of assets, machines, and people within industrial environments. With our RTLS solutions, businesses can achieve improved operational efficiency, enhanced safety and reduced costs. By having real-time visibility into operations, industrial organizations can make informed, data-driven decisions, minimize downtime, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.

We experienced a net loss from operations of approximately $37.0 million and $7.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We cannot assure that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our operations, or that we will ever be profitable. In order to continue our operations, we have supplemented the revenues we earned with proceeds from the sale of our equity and proceeds from loans.

Recent Events

March 2025 Underwritten Offering and Debt Repayment

On March 28, 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement with ThinkEquity LLC ("ThinkEquity"), as the representative of the underwriters named therein, relating to a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the "March Offering") of 765,200 shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants (the "Pre-funded Warrants") to purchase up to 2,176,000 shares of common stock, and common warrants (the "Common Warrants") to purchase up to 2,941,200 shares of common stock. The combined public offering price for each share of common stock, together with one Common Warrant, was $1.36. The combined public offering price for each Pre-funded Warrant, together with one Common Warrant, was $1.359. Each share of common stock, or a Pre-funded Warrant in lieu thereof, was sold together with one Common Warrant. The March Offering was made pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No 333-279901), filed with the SEC on May 31, 2024, as amended on June 14, 2024 and declared effective on June 18, 2024 (the "Current Shelf Registration Statement"), the base prospectus included therein, a preliminary prospectus supplement dated March 27, 2025 and a final prospectus supplement dated March 28, 2025.

The March Offering closed on March 31, 2025. We received net proceeds of approximately $3.3 million from the March Offering after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses payable by us. We used approximately $2.7 million of the net proceeds from the March Offering to repay in full all amounts outstanding, including a 115% prepayment penalty, in respect of two secured promissory notes issued by the Company to Streeterville Capital, LLC on May 1, 2024 and May 24, 2024.

The Pre-funded Warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance, have an exercise price of $0.001 per share and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full. The Common Warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance, have an exercise price of $1.36 per share, and expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. As a result of our failure to timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K, upon the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we became ineligible to file new short form registration statements on Form S-3 or to use the Current Shelf Registration Statement. Therefore, we agreed to file a subsequent registration statement covering the issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants and the Common Warrants within the timeframes set forth in such warrants. As of April 11, 2025, 1,126,000 Pre-funded Warrants remained outstanding and unexercised.

As part of its compensation for serving as representative in connection with the March Offering, we issued ThinkEquity and its designees Representative Warrants to purchase up to 147,060 shares of common stock. The Representative Warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance, have an exercise price of $1.70 per share and expire on the five-year anniversary of the commencement of sales of the securities issued in the March Offering.

January 2025 Registered Direct Offering

On January 7, 2025, we entered into a placement agency agreement with ThinkEquity, as placement agent, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell directly to various investors, in a best efforts public offering (the "January Offering"), an aggregate of 1,454,546 shares of common stock at an offering price of $13.75 per share. The January Offering closed on January 10, 2025, following the effectiveness of the 1-for-250 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock on the same date, which was a condition to the closing of the January Offering. We received net proceeds of approximately $18.3 million from the January Offering. The January Offering was made pursuant to the Current Shelf Registration Statement, the base prospectus included therein, and a prospectus supplement dated January 7, 2025. As part of its compensation for acting as placement agent for the January Offering, we issued ThinkEquity LLC and its designees Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 72,727 shares of common stock, which were immediately exercisable upon issuance, have an exercise price of $17.1875 per share and expire on the five-year anniversary of the commencement of sales of the securities issued in the January Offering.

Settlement Agreement

On March 27, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), XTI Aerospace, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a settlement agreement with 3AM Investments LLC (an entity controlled by Nadir Ali ("Ali"), the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and a former director of the Company) ("3AM"), Grafiti Group LLC ("Grafiti Group") and Ali (the "Settlement Agreement"). The terms of the Settlement Agreement include:

Entire Agreement. The Settlement Agreement provides that it supersedes any prior consents or agreements regarding the allocation of financing proceeds for the payment of any obligations of the Company described in the Settlement Agreement.

Compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirements

On February 11, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and accordingly, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel has determined to continue the listing of the Company's common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 which are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no changes to estimates during the periods presented in the filing. Historically changes in management estimates have not been material.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control is transferred of the promised products or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. The Company derives revenue from software as a service, design and implementation services for its Indoor Intelligence systems, and professional services for work performed in conjunction with its systems.

Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple distinct products and services. Our licenses are sold as perpetual or term licenses and the arrangements typically contain various combinations of maintenance and professional services, which are accounted for as separate performance obligations. In determining how revenue should be recognized, a five-step process is used, which requires judgment and estimates within the revenue recognition process. The most critical judgements required in applying Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606 Revenue Recognition from Customers, and our revenue recognition policy relate to the determination of distinct performance obligations.

We receive fixed consideration for sales of hardware and software products. Revenue is recognized at point in time when the customer has title to the product and risks and rewards of ownership have transferred.
Revenue related to software as a service contract is recognized over time using the output method (days of software provided) because we are providing continuous access to its service.
Design and implementation revenue is accounted for using the percentage of completion method. As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Accounting for these contracts involves the use of estimates to determine total contract costs to be incurred.
Professional services revenue under fixed fee contracts is recognized over time using the input method (direct labor hours) to recognize revenue over the term of the contract. We have elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because our right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date.
We recognize revenue related to Maintenance Services evenly over time using the output method (days of software provided) because we provide continuous service, and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by our performance as the services are performed.

We also consider whether an arrangement has any discounts, material rights, or specified future upgrades that may represent additional performance obligations. We offer discounts in the form of prompt payment discounts and rebates for a decrease in service level percentages. We have determined that the most likely amount method is most useful for contracts that provides these discounts and rebates as the contracts have two potential outcomes and a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized is not expected to occur. Discounts have not historically been significant, but we continue to monitor and evaluate these estimates based on historical experience, anticipated performance, and our best judgment. Renewals or extensions of licenses are evaluated as distinct licenses (i.e., a distinct good or service), and revenue attributed to the distinct good or service cannot be recognized until (1) the entity provides the distinct license (or makes the license available) to the customer and (2) the customer is able to use and benefit from the distinct license. If any of these judgments were to change it could cause a material increase or decrease in the amount of revenue we report in a particular period.

Valuation of Long-lived and Intangible Assets and Goodwill

We periodically review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment." Goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization are reviewed annually for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other," or more often if there are indications of possible impairment.

The analysis to determine whether or not an asset is impaired requires significant judgments that are dependent on internal forecasts, including estimated future cash flows, estimates of long-term growth rates for our business, the expected life over which cash flows will be realized and assumed royalty and discount rates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and any impairment charge. While the fair value of these assets exceeds their carrying value based on our current estimates and assumptions, materially different estimates and assumptions in the future in response to changing economic conditions, changes in our business or for other reasons could result in the recognition of impairment losses.

For assets to be held and used, including acquired intangible assets subject to amortization, we initiate our review whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the expected future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. Any impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Significant management judgment is required in this process.

For intangible assets not subject to amortization such as goodwill, we test for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. In testing goodwill for impairment, we compare the fair value with the carrying value. The determination of fair value is based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using inputs and assumptions such as revenue growth rates, other projected expenses, and discount rates. If we were to experience a decrease in forecasted future revenues attributable to the intangible assets, this could indicate a potential impairment. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, the goodwill is considered impaired, and an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of goodwill.

We will perform our annual goodwill impairment test required by ASC 350 as of October 1st of each year. In testing goodwill for impairment, we analyze qualitative factors as stated within ASC 350 to determine if the fair value of our single reporting unit may be less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. We have one reporting unit that carries goodwill (Industrial IoT). If the fair value of the reporting unit, based on qualitative factors, may be less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, we then perform the goodwill impairment test required under ASC 350 by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying value of the reporting unit and, if the fair value is less than the carrying value, the amount that the carrying value exceeds fair value represents the amount of goodwill impairment. Accordingly, we would recognize an impairment loss in the amount of such excess.

In connection with the XTI Merger, we recorded approximately $4.8 million in intangible assets which was allocated to various asset groups under our Industrial IoT reporting unit. In connection with the XTI Merger, we recorded $12.4 million in goodwill which was allocated to our Industrial IoT reporting unit. Since the closing date of the XTI Merger on March 12, 2024, the price of our common stock has declined significantly and may continue to fluctuate in future periods. A sustained decrease in the price of our common stock is one of the qualitative factors to be considered as part of an impairment test when evaluating whether events or changes in circumstances may indicate that it is more likely than not that a potential goodwill impairment exists. We will continue monitoring the analysis of the qualitative and quantitative factors used as a basis for the goodwill impairment test during fiscal year 2024 and at the Company's October 1st annual testing date. As of December 31, 2024, management evaluated potential triggers and completed a qualitative assessment and determined in the aggregate, it is more likely than not, that the fair value of the Goodwill is less than its carrying value. Management moved to a quantitative assessment and noted that based on that assessment, the fair value of the Industrial IoT reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company notes that the fair value exceeded the carrying value by 22% as of December 31, 2024. Therefore, no goodwill impairment was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Deferred Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), management routinely evaluates the likelihood of the realization of its income tax benefits and the recognition of its deferred tax assets. In evaluating the need for any valuation allowance, management will assess whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset may not be realized on a jurisdictional basis. Ultimately, the realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or tax credits and tax loss carry-forwards can be utilized. In performing its analyses, management considers both positive and negative evidence including historical financial performance, previous earnings patterns, future earnings forecasts, tax planning strategies, economic and business trends and the potential realization of net operating loss carry-forwards within a reasonable timeframe. To this end, management considered (i) that we have had historical losses in the prior years and cannot anticipate generating a sufficient level of future profits in order to realize the benefits of our deferred tax asset; (ii) tax planning strategies; and (iii) the adequacy of future income as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, based upon certain economic conditions and historical losses through December 31, 2024. After consideration of these factors, management deemed it appropriate to establish a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets for XTI Aerospace, Inc., XTI Aircraft Company, Nanotron GmbH, Intranav GmbH, and Inpixon Holding (UK) Limited.

A liability for "unrecognized tax benefits" is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company's tax filings that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The guidance also discusses the classification of related interest and penalties on income taxes. The Company's policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. Any changes in the estimated fair values of the net assets recorded for acquisitions prior to the finalization of more detailed analysis, but not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Any subsequent changes to any purchase price allocations that are material to our consolidated financial results will be adjusted. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and in-process research and development costs are recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and assessed for impairment thereafter until completion, at which point the asset is amortized over its expected useful life. Separately recognized transactions associated with business combinations are generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date. The application of business combination and impairment accounting requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions.

Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations are consolidated as of and subsequent to the acquisition date and are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the acquisition date.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Commercial Aviation

We are still working to design, develop and certify the TriFan 600 airplane and thus have not generated revenue from this segment. We do not expect to begin generating significant revenues until we are able to complete the design, development, certification, and manufacturing of the airplane.

Industrial IoT

Our RTLS products are primarily sold on a license and SaaS mode, which we call "location as a service" or "LaaS." In our licensing model, we also typically charge an annual maintenance fee. The LaaS model is typically for a 3-5 year contract and includes a license to use, maintenance and hardware upgrades. The LaaS model generates a recurring revenue stream.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development activities represent a significant part of our business. Our research and development efforts focus on the design and development of (i) our indoor intelligence products, and (ii) our TriFan 600 airplane, including certain of the systems that will be used in it. As part of our aircraft development activities, we continue to work closely with the FAA towards our goal of achieving certification of our TriFan 600 airplane on an efficient timeline.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the research and development of the TriFan 600 airplane. These expenses include:

employee-related expenses, including salaries and benefits for personnel engaged in research and development functions;
expenses incurred under agreements with third parties such as consultants and contractors; and
software and technology-related expenses to support computer-aided design of the aircraft, flight simulations, and other technology needs of our engineers.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly as we increase staffing to support aircraft engineering and software development, build aircraft prototypes and continue to explore and develop technologies.

We cannot determine with certainty the timing, duration or the costs necessary to complete the design, development, certification, and manufacturing of our TriFan 600 airplane due to the inherently unpredictable nature of our research and development activities. Development timelines, the probability of success, and development costs may differ materially from expectations.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing costs include activities such as aircraft reservation procurement, public relations and business opportunity advancement. These functions mainly generate expenses relating to travel, trade show fees and costs, salaries and benefits. Sales and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, finance, corporate and business development, and administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include legal fees relating to patent and corporate matters, including non-capitalizable transaction costs; professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and administrative consulting services; insurance costs, facility related expenses including maintenance and allocated expenses for rent and other operating costs.

We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will increase substantially in the future as we increase our headcount to support continued research and development and commercialization of the TriFan 600.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense, net consists primarily of (i) interest relating to convertible and promissory notes payable, (ii) amortization of debt discounts relating to warrants and stock options issued in conjunction with convertible notes, and (iii) interest income on notes receivable.

Inducement loss on debt conversions includes primarily the inducement charges incurred by Legacy XTI when it entered into voluntary note conversion letter agreements with several note holders during the first quarter of 2024. Per the letter agreements, principal and accrued interest under the notes was converted at a reduced conversion price into shares of Legacy XTI common stock immediately prior to the XTI Merger closing time, which converted into shares of the Company's common stock upon the closing of the XTI Merger. The Company accounted for these conversions as an inducement and, as such, recognized a loss related to the fair value of the additional shares issued compared to the original terms of the convertible notes.

Change in fair value of convertible notes payable represent the remeasurement of certain Legacy XTI convertible notes to fair value. These notes were converted to equity prior to the closing of XTI Merger.

Change in fair value of warrant liability represents the remeasurement of certain Legacy XTI and Legacy Inpixon outstanding warrants to fair value. These outstanding warrants were exchanged for common shares of the Company during the second quarter of 2024.

Other income (expense), net consists of miscellaneous income and expense items.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2024 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2023

The Company determined the previously disclosed XTI Merger should be accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Legacy XTI being considered the accounting acquirer. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements included in this report represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy XTI and the results of operations of the accounting acquired entity, Legacy Inpixon, are included in the consolidated financial statements as of the Closing Date and through the December 31, 2024 reporting date.

The following table sets forth selected consolidated financial data and the percentage of period-over-period change:

Revenues

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $3.2 million compared to $0.0 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The revenue amount for the year ended December 31, 2024 represents the results of the revenue-generating Industrial IoT segment following the XTI Merger closing date of March 12, 2024 through the December 31, 2024 reporting date, whereas the Company was pre-revenue in 2023. We expect revenue to increase to approximately $5 million for the fiscal year 2025 driven by the revenue-generating Industrial IoT segment.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $1.3 million compared to $0.0 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The cost of revenues amount for the year ended December 31, 2024 represents the results of the revenue-generating Industrial IoT segment following the XTI Merger closing date of March 12, 2024 through the December 31, 2024 reporting date, whereas the Company was pre-revenue in 2023.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1.9 million compared to $0.0 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The gross profit amount for year ended December 31, 2024 represents the results of the revenue-generating Industrial IoT segment following the XTI Merger closing date of March 12, 2024 through the December 31, 2024 reporting date, whereas the Company was pre-revenue in 2023. The Company's gross margin percentage for the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately 59%, a lower percentage than Legacy Inpixon reported in previous fiscal years as the Company's inventory value was increased to fair value in March 2024 as part of the purchase price allocation accounting relating to the XTI Merger, resulting in lower margins being recognized on subsequent hardware sales during 2024.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $38.9 million and $7.6 million for the comparable period ended December 31, 2023. This increase of approximately $31.3 million was primarily attributable to (i) the inclusion of $9.0 million of Industrial IoT segment's operating expenses from the XTI Merger closing date through the December 31, 2024 reporting date, which included a $2.5 million non-cash impairment of intangible assets, (ii) the recognition of $6.3 million of nonrecurring transaction bonus expense during the second quarter of 2024 as the bonuses became payable upon the earlier of the closing of qualifying financings or June 30, 2024, (iii) an increase in nonrecurring merger-related transaction costs of $4.6 million, (iv) an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2.5 million, and (v) an aggregate increase of approximately $8.9 million due to increases in consulting compensation mainly attributable to consulting arrangements entered into with prior executives of Legacy Inpixon on March 12, 2024, legal and accounting fees relating to capital raising activities during 2024, and public company-related professional fees as the 2023 historical results reflect the operations of a private company, Legacy XTI.

The $2.5 million non-cash impairment of intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the Industrial IoT segment's Aware assets and its Nanotron business. This impairment was driven by the Company's strategic decision during Q4 2024 to shift away from the hardware (Nanotron subsidiary) and Aware business lines and to more of a LaaS business model (Intranav subsidiary).

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2024 was a gain of $1.4 million compared to a loss of $17.5 million for the comparable period ended December 31, 2023. The gain of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to the Company recognizing a gain of approximately $12.9 million relating to the remeasurement of convertible notes payable at fair value and interest income of $0.4 million, which was partially offset by (i) interest expense of approximately $1.1 million, (ii) an increase in the fair value of warrant liability of approximately $0.3 million, (iii) inducement losses on debt conversions of approximately $6.7 million, (iv) loss on conversion of the Damon note receivable to equity investment of approximately $2.6 million, and (v) a decrease in fair value of the Damon equity investment and related warrants of approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, when those assets were re-measured as of the December 31, 2024 reporting date.

The loss of $17.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 was due primarily to the modifications of certain Legacy XTI convertible notes. On November 1, 2023, Legacy XTI and certain convertible noteholders agreed to amend the convertible notes to extend the maturity date and to revise the conversion terms. The amendment to the convertible notes was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and reissuance of the convertible notes in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments, due to the addition of a substantive conversion feature. As Legacy XTI elected to account for these convertible notes using the fair value option, Legacy XTI measured the convertible notes at a fair value, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of approximately $6.6 million. As of December 31, 2023, Legacy XTI re-measured the convertible notes at fair value resulting in the convertible notes balance being increased by $9.1 million, and therefore an additional loss being recognized of $9.1 million.

Provision for Income Taxes

There was an income tax provision of approximately $0.02 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to an income tax benefit of $0.0 for the comparable period in the prior year. The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2024 is attributable to minimum state income taxes.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Contractual obligations are cash that we are obligated to pay as part of certain contracts that we have entered during our course of business. Our contractual obligations consist of operating lease liabilities and acquisition liabilities that are included in our consolidated balance sheet and vendor commitments associated with agreements that are legally binding. As of December 31, 2024, the total obligation for operating leases is approximately $0.4 million, of which approximately $0.1 million is expected to be paid in the next twelve months.

On March 31, 2025, the Company repaid in full the promissory notes that were issued to Streeterville Capital, LLC on May 1, 2024 and May 24, 2024. As of the date of this filing, we owed $65,000 under a secured promissory note with the SBA which is due in 2050. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.

Customer Deposits

As of December 31, 2024, we received conditional pre-orders under a combination of non-binding aircraft purchase agreements, reservation deposit agreements, options and letters of intent for aircraft which generated approximately $1.4 million of cash from customer deposits. These funds from customer reservation deposits will not be recorded as revenue until the orders for our TriFan 600 airplane are delivered, which may not be for many years or at all if we do not deliver the airplanes. The deposits prioritize orders when the TriFan 600 airplane becomes available for delivery. Customers making deposits are not obligated to purchase any airplanes until they execute a definitive purchase agreement. Customers may request a return of their refundable deposit any time up until the execution of a purchase agreement. Customers' request for a return of their refundable deposits could adversely affect our liquidity resources and we may be financially unable to return such deposits.

Consulting Agreement with Prior "Legacy Inpixon" CEO and Subsequent Settlement Agreement

On March 27, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with 3AM Investments LLC (an entity controlled by Nadir Ali ("Ali"), the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and a former director of the Company) ("3AM"), Grafiti Group LLC ("Grafiti Group") and Ali (the "Settlement Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed to settle certain existing obligations owed to former management. As a result of the Settlement Agreement, the Company has an outstanding advisory fee obligation to Ali of $1,500,000 (the "Deferred Amount") as of the date of this report, which is due in $500,000 installments on June 30, 2025, September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2025. Upon payment of the Deferred Amount in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Ali Advisory Fees shall be deemed to be satisfied in full and no further amounts shall be payable by the Company to Ali or his affiliated parties pursuant to the Ali Consulting Agreement dated March 12, 2024. See Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for more information about the Ali Consulting Agreement. See Note 23 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for more information about the Settlement Agreement.

Risks and Uncertainties

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $8.8 million, and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a net loss of approximately $35.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company used approximately $22.3 million of cash for operating activities.

There can be no assurances that the Company will ever earn revenues sufficient to support its operations, or that it will ever be profitable. In order to continue its operations, the Company has historically supplemented the revenues it earned with proceeds from the sale of our equity, including through our now expired ATM with Maxim (as discussed below), and debt securities and proceeds from loans and bank credit lines. We believe that our current revenue, as supplemented by proceeds from our financings, including the approximately $21.6 million net proceeds we raised in various public offerings of our securities placed and underwritten by ThinkEquity LLC during the first quarter of 2025, a portion of which was used to fully repay short-term obligations including the outstanding Streeterville promissory note balances and remaining Strategic Transaction Bonus liability, along with our ability to defer or eliminate certain operating expenses that are under our control, will provide us with liquidity to fund our planned operating needs for at least the next twelve months.

According to our current development schedule, we do not expect to obtain FAA type certification and other necessary regulatory approvals and commence deliveries of the TriFan 600 until 2030 at the earliest. Therefore, we intend to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings as we continue to advance the design and certification of the TriFan 600. See " - Recent Events - March 2025 Underwritten Offering" and " - Recent Events - January 2025 Registered Direct Offering" for more information about our recent public offerings of our equity securities.

As a result of our failure to timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K, upon the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we became ineligible to use Form S-3 until August 2025 at the earliest. Our inability to use Form S-3 may significantly impair our ability to raise necessary capital to fund our operations and execute our strategy. If we seek to access the capital markets through a registered offering during the period of time that we are unable to use Form S-3, we may be required to publicly disclose the proposed offering and the material terms thereof before the offering commences, we may experience delays in the offering process due to SEC review of a Form S-1 registration statement and we may incur increased offering and transaction costs and other considerations.

As discussed in Note 10 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Part I, Item 8 of this report, on July 22, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Maxim as sales agent (as amended from time to time, the "Equity Distribution Agreement"), pursuant to which we could offer and sell, from time to time through Maxim, shares of the Company's common stock having an aggregate offering amount of up to approximately $83.3 million under our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the "ATM"). The term of the Equity Distribution Agreement expired on December 31, 2024. Maxim was entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold excluding Maxim's costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its services, including the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of its legal counsel. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold 948,484 shares of common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement at per share prices between approximately $10.02 and $47.57, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $12.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold 998,447 shares of common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement at per share prices between approximately $10.02 and $337.36, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $22.2 million. Since the date of the Equity Distribution Agreement through the date of this report, the Company sold 1,170,561 shares of common stock at per share prices between approximately $4.10 and $465.56 under the Equity Distribution Agreement, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $52.2 million.
