Mt. Olive, NJ, May 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vislink Technologies, Inc. ("Vislink" or the "Company") (OTCQB:VISL), a global technology leader in the capture, delivery, and management of high-quality live video and associated data in the media and entertainment, law enforcement, and defense markets, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

Fourth Quarter 2024 and Recent Company Highlights

Received multimillion-dollar orders for high-reliability airborne video downlink system (AVDS) equipment. Strong order flow from municipal, regional, and national public safety and military organizations located in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
Initiated multimillion-dollar product shipments for use in emerging drone applications.
Secured over $900,000 in recurring revenue through strategic Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Establishing a global service platform accelerates Vislink's shift toward a sustainable, service-driven business model that will enhance customer retention while laying a strong foundation for predictable, long-term income.
Realized operational cost savings expected to eventually reach approximately $10 million, resulting from the restructuring plan enabled by the deployment of a new ERP system.

Awarded ‘Best Innovation Project' at the Broadcast Tech Innovation Awards 2024. This accolade recognizes Vislink's groundbreaking collaboration with FocalPoint VR and ASPIRE in delivering an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience for the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL).
We continue to support marquee global events and commercial partners, including Super Bowl 2025, the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, NFL, NHL, Premier League, MotoGP, Formula-1, The Academy Awards, The Emmys, and more.

Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, the Company announced it had voluntarily delisted the Company's common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The decision was made to reduce the Company's expenses while allowing for greater focus on execution.

Full Year 2024 Financial Results

Revenue was $27.7 million compared to $27.5 million in 2023.
Gross margin was 25%, and excluding the one-time inventory write-off and impairment was 49.7%, compared to 51% in 2023.
Net loss attributable to common shareholders totaled $(20.5) million, or $(8.35) per share, compared to $(9.1) million, or $(3.83) per share, in 2023.
Significant restructuring, including headcount reductions, lease terminations, and asset write-offs constituted the majority of the reported loss.
Key project delays and longer lead times also affected Q4 revenue.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) totaled $(19.8) million, compared to $(9.0) million in 2023.

Cash and short-term investments were $6.5 million at December 31, 2024, compared to $9.2 million at the end of the third quarter.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue was $3.4 million, compared to $7.1 million in the prior quarter. The revenue decrease was primarily due to a decline in the live production business and the delayed execution of large-scale projects.
Gross margin was -1%, and excluding the one-time inventory write-off and impairment was 8.8%, compared to 51% in the prior quarter. Material margins remained strong, while unabsorbed production overhead caused the significant decrease in the gross margin.
Net loss attributable to common shareholders totaled $(14.3) million, or $(5.82) per share, compared to $(3.0) million, or $(1.22) per share, in the third quarter.

Management Commentary

"We continued to make strategic progress in 2024, even as we faced revenue timing challenges in the fourth quarter," stated Mickey Miller, CEO of Vislink. "Our full-year revenue grew modestly year-over-year, and we significantly advanced our operational foundation through the implementation of our ERP system and a comprehensive restructuring plan. Through these actions, we have reduced costs and expect to realize annualized savings of approximately $10 million. This will help lower our break-even point and reduce complexity and redundancy. It will also provide us with a leaner, and we believe more efficient operating model to support long-term growth and enhance working capital management."

"We are seeing strong momentum in our MilGov business, highlighted by multimillion-dollar orders and product shipments for our airborne video downlink systems. This includes expanding use cases in emerging drone applications. These wins reinforce the position of our AeroLink and cellular-based Aero5 systems as trusted solutions in mission-critical environments. With multiple agencies across the U.S., Canada, and Europe now adopting our technologies, we are optimistic about securing additional contracts in 2025."

"Our transformation into a service-centric organization is also well underway. We received over $900,000 in recurring revenue through new Service Level Agreements. This validates our strategy to deliver long-term value through predictable, high-margin income streams. The build-out of our global service platform will be a key enabler as we scale the business."

"Within the Live Production market, we continue to experience a healthy demand for innovative solutions that deliver premium quality with greater flexibility. This was demonstrated by our role as a key technology provider for global marquee events, where our wireless systems enabled immersive live transmission during many of the world's most-watched events. We are also seeing growing interest in our DragonFly V 5G miniature transmitter as well as our expanded product lineup, which allows us to address evolving production workflows across a range of broadcast environments."

"We have taken decisive steps to align our cost base with current operational realities. We are confident that our innovative product roadmap, strengthening presence in high-growth sectors, and sharpened operational focus gives us a platform to deliver sustainable, profitable growth over time while creating value for shareholders."

Non-GAAP Financial Measure: EBITDA

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), we are presenting EBITDA in this earnings release and the related earnings conference call. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We define EBITDA as our net income (loss), excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization expense and interest income and tax). We have presented EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, establish budgets, and develop operational goals for managing our business. In particular, we believe that excluding the impact of these expenses in calculating EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP EBITDA to GAAP net loss appears in the financial tables accompanying this press release, as set forth below.
