Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with "Cautionary Note About Forward-Looking Statements" and our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report as well as our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as amended, including Part 1, Item 1A "Risk Factors."
Company Overview
Sonim Technologies, based in the United States, is a leading provider of enterprise 5G solutions, offering a robust portfolio that includes rugged handsets, smartphones, wireless internet devices, software, services, and accessories. These products are engineered for reliable communication in challenging and unpredictable environments, serving sectors such as critical communications, first responders, government, industrial, construction, hospitality, and logistics. We currently have products available at all three U.S. Tier-one carriers - AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon as well as the three primary carriers in Canada - Bell, Telus and Rogers, and Telstra in Australia. These carriers then resell our products, along with network services, to end customers focusing on two primary end markets: industrial enterprise and public sector. We also sell our products through distributors and resellers in various markets, including Europe and South Africa.
In 2023, Sonim announced a strategic expansion initiative, focusing on broadening its market reach with new products, geographical markets, and customer segments including enterprise, small and medium business, and prosumers. This strategy is underpinned by a strong emphasis on execution. We have introduced new product categories: Connected Solutions featuring wireless internet products, a next-generation rugged smartphone, and a new range of mid and low-tier professional rugged phones, all boasting IP ratings, MIL-STD-810H standards, and elements of Sonim's RPS, highlighting our value proposition to target markets.
During the second half of 2024 and through the filing date of this report, the Company launched the following products:
| ● | Sonim H500-series of 5G mobile hotspots available at Verizon and Verizon Frontline Verified, UScellular, and Bell in North America, as well as at select carriers and through our distribution partners in Europe; | |
| ● | Sonim MegaConnect, the world's first 5G High Powered User Equipment (HPUE) rugged mobile hotspot, available at AT&T Business and FirstNet® in the United States, and is also FirstNet Trusted; | |
| ● | Sonim H100 4G mobile hotspot available through Telia Finland and distribution partners in Europe; | |
| ● | XP100 4G and XP400 5G professional rugged phones available through Deutsche Telekom in Germany and distribution partners in Europe and South Africa; | |
| ● | XP Pro 5G rugged smartphone available through Verizon and Verizon Frontline Verified, AT&T and FirstNet Ready, and T-Mobile and certified for T-Priority in the United States, Bell, Telus, Rogers, and SaskTel in Canada, and through select distributors in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa; | |
| ● | XP Pro Thermal 5G rugged smartphone available in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa through select distributors; and | |
| ● | XP3plus 5G rugged flip phone available through T-Mobile and certified for T-Priority. | 
Most of these products are supported by the SonimWare™ platform and enterprise services. In 2025, all of our new products that launched with tier-one carriers in the United States included a certification associated with carrier first responder initiatives, including FirstNet Ready, FirstNet Trusted, Verizon Frontline Certified, and T-Mobile certified for T-Priority. In 2025, we launched the XP Pro Thermal 5G smartphone for Europe which includes an SDK-enabled Sonim IRIS software for custom application development and an integrated thermal camera by FLIR® that benefits a number of vertical trades such as electricians, plumbers, public safety, construction, agriculture, amongst others.
Geographic market expansion continues with agreements and product availability through new distribution partners in Europe and South Africa, catering to carrier, reseller, and enterprise sales channels. Partners include Brodos, Modino, Ingram Micro, and Cernotech, which bolster our presence in these regions. This strategic alignment supports our commitment to offering reliable solutions and expanding our customer base.
With the primary sales channels in the U.S. and Canada consisting of large wireless carriers, the Company's customer base is highly concentrated. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, wireless carriers contributed 83% of our total net revenues, 12% of which related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements as three of our legacy phones approach end-of-life, with our top three carrier customers accounting for 69% of our total net revenues, 11% of which related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements. Our rugged smartphones represented 54% of our total net revenues, 12% of which related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements, while feature phones were 28% of our total net revenues, and connected solutions were 16% of our total net revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, wireless carriers contributed 78% of our total net revenues, with our top three carrier customers accounting for 59% of our total net revenues. Our rugged smartphones represented 50% of our total net revenues, while feature phones were 23% of our total net revenues, and connected solutions were 25% of our total net revenues.
In alignment with Sonim Technologies' commitment to quality, reliability, and regulatory compliance, we have prioritized our Trade Agreements Act ("TAA") initiatives. TAA compliance is crucial in enhancing our market strategy, particularly in expanding opportunities within government and enterprise markets, which demand stringent adherence to regulatory standards. By ensuring our products meet TAA requirements, we reinforce our position as a trusted provider of enterprise 5G solutions.
This initiative underscores our dedication to delivering products that not only meet industry-leading standards but also comply with U.S. federal procurement regulations, thereby enhancing our competitiveness in securing government contracts.
Looking ahead, Sonim is focused on bringing our new products and solutions offering to our expanded portfolio throughout 2025.
Pending Asset Purchase Agreement with Social Mobile and Company's Strategic Initiatives
On July 17, 2025, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") by and among the Company, as seller, Pace Car Acquisition LLC, as buyer, (the "Buyer"), the Seller Representative named in the Asset Purchase Agreement, and, Social Mobile Technology Holdings LLC (the "Parent"), solely for the purpose of guaranteeing complete payment and performance obligations of the Buyer contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer agreed to acquire substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries related to the Company's enterprise 5G solutions business, including rugged handsets, smartphones, wireless internet devices, software, services, and accessories (collectively, the "Business") for a purchase price of $15.0 million in cash, subject to (i) customary working capital, indebtedness and transaction expense adjustments (referred to in the Asset Purchase Agreement as the "Adjustment Amount," which may be a positive or a negative number) and (ii) up to $5.0 million in the form of an earn-out payment, if earned.
Because the transaction contemplates the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets, the Company is pursuing alternative strategies, in addition to completing the asset sale, with the objective of maximizing stockholder value. There can be no assurance that the Asset Purchase Agreement or any additional transaction will ultimately be consummated timely or at all.
Recent Developments
Recent Product Awards
The first step in selling our products through wireless telecommunications carriers is to receive a product award from the carrier. The award documents the intent of the carrier to carry the proposed product and offer it to customers through their stores or online. The carrier and Sonim agree to a launch date that is generally nine months or longer from the date of the product award. After the product award, the Company and its partners complete the design that includes the unique specifications from the carrier, test the device, obtain certification from the carrier to sell the device, and begin full scale manufacturing of the product based on purchase orders issued by the carrier.
As of the filing date of this report, Sonim is completing the development, testing and certification of an updated 5G version of the Company's XP5plus.
2025 Reverse Stock Split
On October 27, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-18 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the "2025 Reverse Stock Split"). On the same date, our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis. As a result of the 2025 Reverse Stock Split, each share of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to October 27, 2025, was automatically converted into one-eighteenth (1/18) of a share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split affected all common stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share instead received a cash payment equal to the fraction of which a stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by $16.8678, which is the closing price per share of common stock on October 20, 2025 (as reported by the Nasdaq Capital Market), as adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.
The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the common stock or the authorized number of shares of common stock. All outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants entitling their holders to purchase or obtain or convert into shares of our common stock were adjusted, as required by the terms of these securities.
All common share and per-share amounts in this Form 10-Q have been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the 2025 Reverse Stock Split.
Capital Structure
We prioritized adjustments to the Company's capital structure to better align with our long-term strategy. On October 16, 2025, at a special meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation increasing the authorized shares of our common stock from 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000. The amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 16, 2025. Our board believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to have additional authorized shares available. The primary purpose of the amendment is to provide greater flexibility in managing our common stock for general corporate purposes that our board may, from time to time, deem advisable, which could include, without limitation: (i) financing activities, including the ChEF facility; (ii) stock dividends or splits; (iii) conversions of convertible securities; (iv) issuances of stock options and other equity awards under our incentive plans; and (v) establishing strategic relationships. Having an increased number of authorized but unissued shares allows the Company to act promptly on corporate opportunities without the delay and expense of convening a special meeting of stockholders to approve a further increase in capitalization.
ChEF Purchase Agreement
On September 29, 2025, the Company entered into a ChEF purchase agreement (the "ChEF Agreement") and registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), each with Chardan Capital Markets LLC ("Chardan") related to a "ChEF," Chardan's committed equity facility (the "Facility").
Pursuant to the ChEF Agreement, the Company has the right from time to time at its option to sell to Chardan up to the lesser of (i) $500.0 million in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and (ii) the Exchange Cap (as defined in the ChEF Agreement), subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement and applicable Nasdaq listing rules. The Company is under no obligation to sell any securities to Chardan under the ChEF Agreement.
While there are distinct differences, the facility pursuant to the ChEF Agreement is structured similarly to a traditional "at-the-market" equity facility, insofar as it allows the Company to raise primary equity capital on a periodic basis. The net proceeds from any sales under the ChEF Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the shares of our common stock are sold to Chardan. The registration statement in connection with the Facility became effective on October 29, 2025.
For additional information, refer to Note 5, Stockholders' Equity, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this report under the title "ChEF Purchase Agreement."
Equity Financings
On May 12, 2025, we consummated a private placement with two investors and sold 61,111 shares of our common stock, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits, and warrants to purchase up to 30,555 shares of our common stock, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits, for an exercise price of $24.9552 per share, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.38 million. We used the net proceeds from the private placement for working capital and general corporate purposes. On August 7, 2025, the Company and the investor entered into an amendment to reduce the exercise price of the warrants to $13.50 per share, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits.
In connection with the close on the capital investment on May 12, 2025, the Company issued warrants to Roth to purchase up to 1,375 shares of our common stock, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits, on July 2, 2025. Each warrant has an exercise price of $24.912 per share, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits.
On April 29, 2024, we consummated a private placement with a single investor and sold 19,444 shares of our common stock, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits, and warrants to purchase up to 19,444 shares of our common stock for an exercise price of $198.00 per share, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits, for an aggregate purchase price of $3.85 million. We used the net proceeds from the private placement for working capital and general corporate purposes. On August 7, 2025, the Company and the investor entered into an amendment to reduce the exercise price of the warrants to $13.50 per share, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits.
ATM Offering
On August 6, 2024, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with Roth Capital Partners, LLC ("Roth"). Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company could sell up to an aggregate of $8.9 million in shares of common stock through Roth, as sales agent. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a total of 193,405 shares of common stock, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits, were sold under the Sales Agreement for net proceeds of $8.2 million after payment of commission fees and other related expenses of $0.3 million. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company completed its sales of shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement and terminated the ATM program.
Sales of shares of our common stock made pursuant to the Sales Agreement were made under the effective Registration Statement on Form S-3. Roth was entitled to compensation at a commission rate of 3% of the gross sales price per share. For additional information, refer to Note 5, Stockholders' Equity, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this report under the title "ATM Offering."
Registered Public Offering
On July 2, 2025, the Company consummated a best-efforts public offering (the "Offering") of 411,111 shares of its common stock, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits, at a public offering price of $13.50 per share, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits. In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investor signatories thereto for the purchase of shares of common stock described above.
Roth served as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering. The Company paid Roth a cash fee of 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised at the closing of the Offering, and reimbursement of certain expenses and legal fees in the amount of $0.1 million. The Company also issued to designees of Roth warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 11,604 shares of common stock, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits (the "Placement Agent Warrants"). The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $13.50 per share, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits, are not exercisable until January 2, 2026, and expire on July 2, 2030.
The net proceeds of the Offering are approximately $4.8 million, after deducting the Placement Agent fees and expenses and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used the net proceeds of the Offering for overall business strategy, for working capital purposes and for general corporate purposes.
Receivables Financing Agreements
To improve its liquidity, on September 23, 2024, the Company entered into an invoice purchase agreement with LS DE LLC ("LS"), pursuant to which LS will provide receivables factoring to the Company, pursuant to which LS will advance 80% of the face value of the receivables being sold by the Company, up to a maximum of $2.5 million of eligible customer invoices from the Company. As of September 30, 2025, this agreement is terminated.
To improve its liquidity, on August 7, 2025, the Company entered into a factoring agreement (the "Receivables Financing Agreement") with Tradewind GmbH ("Tradewind"), pursuant to which Tradewind will provide international receivables factoring to the Company, pursuant to which Tradewind will advance 85% of the face value of the receivables being sold by the Company, up to a maximum of €3.0 million of eligible customer invoices from the Company. For additional information, refer to Note 3, Significant Balance Sheet Components, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this report under the title "Receivables Financing Agreement."
Promissory Notes
On February 21, 2025, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Lender pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Lender the Note. Starting on August 21, 2025, the Lender may exercise its right to redeem up to $330,000 of the Note per calendar month. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company and the Lender entered into certain exchange agreements whereby the Company issued 30,188 shares, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits, in exchange for payment-in-full of $375 in principal balance of the February Note. For additional information, refer to Note 4, Promissory Notes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this report under the title "February Purchase Agreement."
On July 11, 2025, the Company entered into an additional note purchase agreement with the Lender pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Lender an additional promissory note (the "July Note," and together with the February Note, the "Notes"). Starting on January 11, 2026, the Lender may exercise its right to redeem up to $275,000 of the July Note per calendar month. Additionally, the July Note was secured by a first-priority interest in all of the Company's assets. The July Note requires the Company to prepay an amount equal to not less than 33% of the net proceeds received from any equity or debt financing. For additional information, refer to Note 4, Promissory Notes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this report under the title "July Purchase Agreement."
The exercise of the Lender's redemption rights under either note or the Company's obligation to make prepayments under the July Note may reduce the Company's liquidity.
Impairment of Contract Fulfillment Assets
The non-recurring costs associated with design and development of new products for technical approval represent costs to fulfill a contract pursuant to ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Accordingly, the Company capitalizes these contract fulfillment costs and amortizes such costs over the estimated period of time that the product will be sold, which is typically three to four years. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the net contract fulfillment assets were $9,053 and $6,399, respectively.
If the Company determines that such contract fulfillment costs are not expected to be recovered, it records an impairment in the period such determination is made. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment of contract fulfillment assets of $3.2 million due to a decrease in projected profit of one of its hotspots and the cancellation of a consumer durable product. This product was cancelled because higher than anticipated manufacturing costs eliminated the expected profit margin on the product. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an impairment of contract fulfillment assets of $1.1 million due to the end of life of a legacy smartphone, which is included in cost of revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Macroeconomic Events
Worldwide economic and political uncertainties and negative trends, including tariffs and increasing trade protectionism, inflation, tensions between the U.S. and China, financial and credit market fluctuations, recession risks, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, political election cycles, changes in laws and interpretations of laws, changes in the volume and relative mix of U.S. government spending, cost-cutting and efficiency initiatives and potential disruptions from international conflicts and acts of terrorism, have impacted and may continue to impact our business and the business of our customers, while also disrupting sales channels and advertising and marketing activities. See "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors" in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the possible impact of these factors and other risks on our business.
We have implemented and continue to implement measures to address those challenges. We also continue to actively manage our inventory and establish a relationship with third-party manufacturers in an effort to minimize supply chain disruptions. Nevertheless, the above-described events had and will continue to impact the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environments, capital and commodity markets, and global supply chains, which may have an adverse impact on our operations and hinder our ability to access capital, if needed. Our cost of revenue may increase if the component prices increase.
Results of Operations
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year or in any future period. Historically, we have experienced higher revenues following the release of new products and start of sales with additional carriers and distributors.
The following tables present key components of our results of operations (dollars in thousands):

Total Net Revenues
Total net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $1.2 million compared to 2024. This increase reflects $2.4 million in sales of the H500 hotspot that launched in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $1.6 million in sales of the MegaConnect hotspot that was launched in 2025. These increases were partially offset by a net decrease of $3.0 million in sales of our feature phones, due to declining demand for our legacy feature phones.
Total net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 are expected to decline sequentially from the third quarter due to holiday-related seasonality. We do not expect to generate revenue from the current business following the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, which we anticipate occurring in late 2025 or early 2026. If the Asset Purchase Agreement does not close in 2025, we expect a further decline in operating revenue from the current business in 2026, because we anticipate permitting the Buyer to manufacture and sell our products pending the consummation of the Asset Purchase Agreement as one of the contemplated approaches to our transition plan.
Total net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $0.8 million compared to 2024. Hotspot revenue increased $6.5 million with the launch of the H500 and the MegaConnect hotspots. Smartphone revenue also increased by $4.1 million due to the expiration of customer allowance in 2025. The nine months ended September 30, 2024, include $7.7 million in revenue from white label products sold to a related party, and we had no white label revenue in 2025.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $3.6 million as compared to 2024. This increase reflects the lower margins on the H500 as compared to phones and the lower margins on the XP Pro as compared to the XP10.
Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by $0.1 million as compared to 2024. The nine months ended September 30, 2025, include $5.4 million in revenue related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements, which had no related cost of revenues. The nine months ended September 30, 2024, had higher cost of revenues from white label product sales that had a cost of revenues percentage of approximately 94%.
Gross Profit and Margin
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by $2.4 million compared to 2024. This increase reflects the lower margins on the H500 as compared to phones, and the lower margins on the XP Pro as compared to the XP10.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $0.9 million compared to 2024 primarily due to the $5.4 million in revenue related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements in 2025. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was 25%, which reflects the positive impact from the expiration of customer allowance agreements that have no related cost of sales, net of the impact of the decrease in sales of our legacy products, which had higher margins in the aggregate, and the increase in the sales of our new and replacement products, which have lower margins in aggregate, compared to 23% in 2024, which reflects the negative impact of white label products that had a gross margin of approximately 6%.
Research and Development
R&D expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by $0.5 million compared to 2024, primarily due to there being limited R&D projects during the third quarter of 2025 since most our new products launched throughout the first three quarters of 2025.
R&D expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $1.0 million compared to 2024, primarily due to there being limited R&D projects during the first half of 2024. In 2025, R&D expenses were primarily from internal work on the development of new variants of our XP Pro, including a version with a thermal camera, the HPUE hotspot, the XP400 phone for Europe, and the updated 5G version of our XP3plus.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by $0.6 million compared to 2024 primarily due to a shift in executive costs from sales and marketing to general and administrative expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $0.4 million compared to 2024 primarily due to an increase in marketing spend to support new products in the first half of 2025, and compliance work for Europe.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $0.3 million compared to 2024 primarily due to an increase in legal and other expenses related to the hostile takeover attempt and the divestiture activity being pursued by the Company.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $1.3 million compared to 2024 primarily due to an increase in legal and other expenses related to the hostile takeover attempt and the divestiture activity being pursued by the Company.
Impairment of Contract Fulfillment Assets
Impairment of contract fulfillment assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $3.2 million, resulting from the Company's determination that it would not recover the contract fulfillment costs capitalized due to a decrease in projected profit for one of its hotspots and the cancellation of the consumer durable product.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily relates to the Notes, which includes contractual interest expense and the amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs, and interest related to accounts receivable financing.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have funded operations from a combination of public and private equity financings, and through the issuance of debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 we received net proceeds of $13.8 million from the sale of our common stock, and we received net proceeds of $5.1 million from the issuance of the Notes.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we reported a net loss of $11.8 million and used $21.5 million in operating cash flow. As of September 30, 2025, our principal source of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents totaling $2.1 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate.
A description of our critical accounting policies that represent the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements was provided in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
