August 13, 2025 at 16:15 PM EDT

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / August 13, 2025 / MultiSensor AI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSAI) (the "Company" or "MSAI"), a pioneer in condition-based monitoring and predictive maintenance, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Asim Akram, CEO and President, commented: "Our actions in my first 30 days have been aligned with and in support of MultiSensor AI's broader strategic growth priorities. We've taken immediate steps to chart a new course for the Company, including recruiting and onboarding industry-leading talent with deep expertise in B2B sales, product and commercial marketing, AI-driven solutions, and advanced capabilities in predictive maintenance and condition-based monitoring. I remain energized by the strength of our solutions and the critical problems we help our customers solve. Looking ahead, we are committed to transforming and scaling MultiSensor AI by prioritizing customer value and delivering a world-class experience-through best-in-class solutions, operational excellence, and focused execution."

Robert Nadolny, CFO, continued, "The upfront payments collected this quarter from subscription renewals strengthened our liquidity and helped offset the decline in stand-alone hardware sales, consistent with our strategic shift toward being a solution-focused, hardware-agnostic partner. Additionally, we have executed strategic cost optimization initiatives to align our expense base with current operations to enhance long-term profitability, preserve agility, and position MSAI for scalable and efficient growth."

Financial Highlights:

Second quarter revenue was $1.4 million, a 33% decrease from $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to an expected reduction in stand-alone hardware sales.
Software revenue grew 37% to $0.4 million, compared to $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Subscription renewals for a global distributor commenced in June 2025 and cash was received for the subscriptions up-front for the 12-month subscription term.

Strategic Business Highlights:

We have accelerated the induction of critical talent across Product, Engineering, and Commercial functions-an intentional move to strengthen the foundation for our next phase of growth. The new team members bring deep industry expertise, along with proven capabilities in AI, IoT, and go-to-market strategy. This infusion of high-impact talent positions us to drive innovation, scale efficiently, and lead a transformative shift in how we deliver value to our customers.
We have taken deliberate steps to simplify our portfolio, enabling sharper focus on the core industry verticals where we are best positioned to deliver differentiated value. As part of this strategy, we are concentrating our resources on IoT-enabled, AI-driven solutions that directly address challenges within our target markets. This focus allows us to deepen our domain expertise, accelerate innovation, and deliver scalable outcomes that matter most to our customers.
We have strategically expanded our target applications to include data centers, leveraging the strengths of our existing solutions. Successful pilots in this sector have validated the potential to provide significant value and insights related to cooling management and server load balancing. We are prioritizing a focused go-to-market effort targeting data centers in the second half of 2025, positioning us to capture substantial growth opportunities in this high-demand vertical.
We achieved a significant milestone by completing our first pilot implementation with a second Big-3 automaker to monitor lithium-ion battery packs for thermal runaway-underscoring our growth in automotive manufacturing. Additionally, we partnered with our first Big-3 automaker to launch an advanced pilot featuring dual-vision hardware sensors (combining visual and infrared technologies) aimed at enhancing the precision of our early fire detection solution by reducing false alarms. These initiatives demonstrate our commitment to innovation and deepening strategic collaborations within critical automotive safety applications.
During the quarter, we successfully launched new applications with a global distributor, marking key milestones in expanding our footprint with this customer. These initiatives include pilot programs focused on monitoring rooftop solar installations, critical power systems within facilities, and last-mile infrastructure-demonstrating our commitment to delivering targeted, high-value solutions that address emerging industry needs and drive measurable customer impact.
