FAQ

Why Neutral?

How important is it?

The ongoing restructuring and the focus on high-margin service agreements are crucial for VISL's recovery. Information on partnerships and innovation can attract investor attention despite losses.

Why Short Term?

Immediate effects from financial losses and restructuring may influence trader sentiment quickly, but improvements are anticipated after operational adjustments.

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.” Conference Call Management will host a conference call today, May 2, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

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.
