, /PRNewswire/ -- Socket Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), a leading provider of data capture and delivery solutions for enhanced workplace productivity, today reported financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for the three months ended March 31, 2025. First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights: Revenue of $4.0 million, reflecting a 20% decrease compared to $5.0 million for the prior year's quarter, and an 18% sequential decrease compared to $4.8 million for the preceding quarter. Gross margin of 50.4% versus 50.3% in the prior year's quarter and 51% in the preceding quarter. Operating expenses were $2.9 million, compared to $3.0 million in the prior year period and $2.9 million in the preceding quarter. Operating loss amounted to $0.9 million, compared to $0.5 million loss in the prior year's quarter, and a loss of $0.4 million in the preceding quarter. Cash balances on March 31, 2025 were approximately $1.7 million, a decrease from $2.5 million as of December 31, 2024. "Our first quarter revenue came in lower than projected, primarily due to softer demand both domestically and internationally compared to Q1 of last year," said Kevin Mills, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "The encouraging news is that we began shipping our new XtremeScan products during the quarter. This marks a key milestone in our two-year effort to enter the industrial barcode market." "We also recently announced the launch of the XtremeScan iXG and iXS Series, powered by iOS 18.3 and featuring a fully integrated iPhone 16e," Mr. Mills continued. "These devices are designed to serve as full-featured handheld computers, combining high-performance long-range barcode scanning with the connectivity, app ecosystem, and user-friendly interface of the iOS platform. Together, these capabilities allow frontline workers to capture data more accurately, respond more decisively, and perform critical tasks with greater speed and confidence. These products put Socket Mobile into the $27 billion mobile handheld computing market. "We are closely monitoring the evolving tariff landscape and assessing its potential impact on our supply chain and cost structure," Mr. Mills added. "We are committed to working closely with our customers to manage these challenges through strategic sourcing, pricing adjustments, and supply planning." "We look forward to sharing more about our new products and strategies to drive sales growth during our upcoming conference call," concluded Mr. Mills.
