HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / March 28, 2025 / MultiSensor AI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSAI) (the "Company" or "MSAI"), a pioneer in condition-based monitoring and predictive maintenance enabling Industry 4.0, announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.

Trip Flavin, Interim CEO, commented: "This was an important quarter for MSAI.

Robert Nadolny, CFO, continued, "As we close out Q4 2024, we are pleased to report strong revenue growth, a testament to the resilience and strategic execution of our team. We believe the 360% growth in the number of sensors connected to our cloud software, MSAI Connect, and the 400% increase of sites where we are deployed as compared to Q4 2023 illustrates the traction our solutions are getting within the market. We are also pleased to highlight our strengthened balance sheet, which underscores our commitment to financial discipline."
