SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Know Labs, Inc. (previously NYSE American: KNW, now OTC Markets: KNWN), a pioneering leader in the development and application of radio frequency dielectric spectroscopy (RFDS) for non-invasive medical diagnostic technology and diverse other fields of use through its newly initiated Know Labs Technology Licensing (KTL) initiative, today reported financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2025. Financial Highlights: In Q1 FY 2025, Know Labs reported a net loss of $4.67 million dollars, compared to a net loss of $3.45 million dollars in Q1 FY 2024, an increase in net loss of 35.4%. This translates to earnings per share of a loss of $0.04, unchanged from the prior year earnings per share loss of $0.04, before preferred stock dividends. Recorded a non-cash charge to earnings of $2.45 million dollars principally related to stock-based compensation of $551,000, loss on debt extinguishment of $728,000, interest expense for the repricing of warrants of $747,000, and amortization of debt issuance costs of $386,000. Research and development expense for Q1 FY 2025 was $802,000 as compared to $1.49 million dollars in Q1 FY 2024, a decrease of 46.1% year over year. The decrease was due primarily to the continued use of consultants to reduce the cost of product development. Selling, general and administrative expenses for Q1 FY 2025 was $1.97 million dollars, which was 2.0% lower than the $2.01 million dollars in the year ago period. The decrease in SG&A was due primarily to lower insurance and other expenses. As of December 31, 2024, Know Labs had cash and cash equivalents of $1.03 million dollars, as compared to $3.11 million dollars at the end of September 30, 2024. Net cash used in operations for the first quarter of FY 2025 was $1.89 million dollars compared with $3.39 million dollars in the year ago period of Q1 FY 2024. The Company continues to undertake initiatives to significantly reduce fixed expenses and monthly burn rate. Subsequent to the end of Q1 FY 2025, on December 12, 2024, Know Labs closed a registered direct offering of $300,000, which with the cash on hand, the Company believes that it has enough available cash and flexibility with its operating expenses to operate until April 30, 2025. As noted in the Q1 FY 2025 10-Q, the Company plans to seek additional funding via equity and debt offerings. Shareholder equity for Q1 FY 2025 was a negative $3.91 million dollars versus a negative $3.16 million dollars in FY 2024, ending September 30, 2024. The Company is actively taking steps to address its negative shareholder equity through the conversion of convertible debt to equity. KNOW LABS, INC.

About Know Labs Technology Licensing (KTL) Know Labs Technology Licensing (KTL) is the dedicated licensing division of Know Labs, Inc. (OTC: KNWN), facilitating the global adoption of its patented Radio Frequency Dielectric Spectroscopy (RFDS) technology. With an extensive intellectual property portfolio, a structured licensing framework, and the proprietary e-RFDS© digital watermark, KTL enables corporations, universities, and research institutions to innovate with confidence while securing their developments from counterfeiting and unauthorized use. About Know Labs, Inc. Know Labs, Inc.’s platform technology uses radio frequency spectroscopy to direct electromagnetic energy through a substance or material to capture a unique molecular signature. The technology is designed to be able to integrate into a variety of wearable, mobile or bench-top form factors. The Company believes that this patented and patent-pending technology makes it possible to effectively identify and monitor analytes that could only previously be performed by invasive and/or expensive and time-consuming lab-based tests. Among the Company’s first expected applications of the technology will be in a product marketed as a non-invasive glucose monitor. The device is designed to provide the user with accessible and affordable real-time information on blood glucose levels. This product will require U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance prior to its introduction to the market. Other products, developed through KTL may not require such prior FDA approval.
