Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total revenue increased 125.6% to $3.1 million compared with $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. Revenue in the third quarter of 2024 included a one-time change in accounting estimate of the billing realization rate resulting in a charge of $1.7 million. Non-GAAP adjusted revenue, excluding the one-time non-cash adjustment, was $3.0 million for this period.

The following third quarter 2024 results include the one-time adjustment to third quarter 2024 revenue.

Gross profit increased 437.8% to $1.9 million, or 62.4% of total revenue, compared with $355,000, or 26.2% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2024.

Total operating expenses increased to $1.3 million compared with $940,000 in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in operating expenses is related to SG&A expense of $1.2 million, or 40.0% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2025, compared with $937,000, or 69.1% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2024, as well as stock compensation expense of $41,000 in the third quarter of 2025.

Income from continuing operations increased 209.9% to $643,000, or 21.0% of total revenue, in the third quarter of 2025, compared with an operating loss of $(585,000), or (43.2%) of total revenue, in the third quarter of 2024.

Net loss in the third quarter of 2025 was $(1.1 million) compared with net loss of $(2.0 million) in the third quarter of 2024. Included in net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was interest expense of $(1.8 million) compared with interest expense of $(1.4 million) in the third quarter of 2024. This increase in interest expense is related to increases in initial and incremental fees charged on the number of existing purchases and claims under the Company's line of credit.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, which excludes interest expense and the change in accounting estimate of the billing realization rate recognized in third quarter 2024, was $663,000, compared with non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2024.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, as part of the Company's ongoing enhancements to internal controls over financial reporting, a detailed review of its interest expense-related cash flow classification was performed. As a result, the Company restated certain amounts within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was reclassified to correct the presentation of $1,953,667 of non-cash interest accrual adjustments related to the Company's line of credit as of September 30, 2024. These amounts, previously presented within net proceeds from the line of credit in financing activities, are now presented within operating activities. This change in presentation has no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, or total cash flows for any related period.
