Quantum Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Quantum Corporation (Nasdaq: QMCO) ("Quantum" or the "Company"), a leader in solutions for AI and unstructured data, announced today financial results for its fiscal first quarter 2025 ended June 30, 2024.

Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

  • Revenue was $71.3 million
  • GAAP gross profit was $26.1 million, or 36.6% of revenue
  • GAAP net loss was $20.8 million, or ($0.22) per share
  • Subscription ARR was up 29% year-over-year at $18.8 million
  • Adjusted non-GAAP net loss was $8.4 million, or ($0.09) per share
  • Adjusted EBITDA was ($3.1) million

“Results for the quarter were largely in-line with our expectations, reflecting further rotation of our business toward our long-term initiatives,” stated Jamie Lerner, Chairman and CEO of Quantum. “We are also seeing improving traction for Myriad and ActiveScale products. However, during the quarter we experienced a temporary headwind to gross margin caused by product mix and supply constraints of certain hardware that prevented us from shipping a portion of our higher margin deals. This also resulted in an increase to our current order backlog to above normal levels.”

“As part of our ongoing strategic and financial initiatives, we have reached an agreement with our current lenders that significantly improves our liquidity, allows us to take action on improving our operational initiatives and focus on driving Myriad, ActiveScale and the rest of our businesses to the next level. With this newly restructured financing in place, we have improved our overall capital structure and balance sheet. Additionally, we continue to maintain strong cost and discretionary spending controls as we execute toward profitable growth.”

“We are fully dedicated to executing on our business initiatives toward achieving sustainable operating performance that is driven by tangible proof points, including accelerated growth of new products, divestment of non-core products and assets, and restructuring our organization to become a more focused and operationally efficient business.”

Fiscal First Quarter 2025 vs. Prior Year Quarter

Revenue for the fiscal first quarter of 2025 was $71.3 million, compared to $92.5 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting lower revenue contribution from hyperscale customers combined with lower tape media and royalty business. GAAP gross profit in the first quarter of 2025 was $26.1 million, or 36.6% of revenue, compared to $35.6 million, or 38.5% of revenue, in the prior fiscal year quarter. Non-GAAP gross profit in the first quarter 2025 was $26.3 million, or 36.9% of revenue, compared to $35.9 million, or 38.8% of revenue, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

Total GAAP operating expenses in the fiscal first quarter of 2025 were $43.9 million, or 61.5% of revenue, compared to $40.8 million, or 44.1% of revenue, in the fiscal first quarter of 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $34.4 million, compared to $28.5 million in the prior fiscal year. Research and development expenses in the fiscal first quarter of 2025 were $8.3 million, compared to $10.9 million in the prior fiscal year quarter. Non-GAAP operating expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were $30.8 million, compared to $35.5 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2024.

GAAP net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $20.8 million, or ($0.22) per share, compared to a net loss of $9.1 million, or ($0.10) per share in the prior fiscal year quarter. Excluding the income statement impact of the warrants, stock compensation, restructuring charges, and other non-recurring costs, non-GAAP adjusted net loss in the quarter was $8.4 million, or ($0.09) per share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $4.1 million, or ($0.04) per share in the fiscal first quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal first quarter 2025 was ($3.1) million, compared to $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.

For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results, please see the financial reconciliation tables below.

Liquidity and Debt (as of June 30, 2024)

  • Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $17.5 million, compared to $25.7 million as of June 30, 2023.
  • Total interest expense for the first quarter was $3.8 million, compared to $3.2 million for the same period a year ago.
  • Outstanding term loan debt, excluding debt issuance costs, was $75.8 million, compared to $88.6 million as of June 30, 2023. Outstanding borrowings on revolving credit facility was $35.8 million, compared to $17.8 million as of June 30, 2023.
    • During the quarter, the Company paid down $12.3 million of term loan debt through improved working capital by outsourcing service inventory logistics and management.

Guidance

For the fiscal second quarter of 2025, the Company expects the following guidance:

  • Revenues of $73.0 million, plus or minus $2.0 million
  • Non-GAAP adjusted basic net loss per share of ($0.06), plus or minus $0.02
  • Adjusted EBITDA of approximately breakeven

This assumes an effective annual tax rate of negative 14%; non-GAAP adjusted net loss per share assumes an average basic share count of approximately 96 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2025.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including non-GAAP adjusted net loss, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP operational expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as net loss before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, loss on debt extinguishment, non-recurring project costs, including restatement and debt-related matters and fair value of warrants adjustments.

“GAAP net loss” as referred to in this press release represents “Net loss attributable to common stockholders”. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as net loss before restructuring charges, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, loss on debt extinguishment, non-recurring project costs, including restatement and debt-related matters and fair value of warrants adjustments. We calculate adjusted net income (loss) per basic and diluted share using the above-referenced definition of adjusted net income (loss).

We have provided below reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net income (loss), non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP operational expenses, to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. We have presented adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and the board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operating plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the amounts eliminated in calculating adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business performance. For example, in the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we have excluded a large inventory reserve provision caused by global supply chain disruptions since the start of the pandemic and the longer associated lead times that resulted in older generation products being displaced by next-generation solutions. We do not believe an inventory adjustment of this magnitude is reasonably likely to reoccur in the foreseeable future and do not believe it is indicative of our ongoing operations; accordingly, we have excluded its impact from our non-GAAP results. We believe adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per basic and diluted share serve as appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of our business and help our investors better compare our operating performance over multiple periods. Accordingly, we believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and our board of directors.

Our use of non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

  • Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) interest and tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; (2) capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (3) changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (4) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation expense; (5) potential future costs related to our long-term debt; (6) potential future restructuring expenses; (7) potential future costs related to business acquisitions; (8) gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, (9) and acquisition-related amortization of intangibles assets from business combinations, or (10) fair market adjustments related to the Company’s warrants.
  • Adjusted net income (loss) does not reflect: (1) potential future restructuring activities; (2) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation expense; (3) potential future costs related to our long-term debt; (4) potential future costs related to business acquisitions; (5) gain (loss) on debt extinguishment; (6) acquisition-related amortization of intangibles assets from business combinations; or (7) fair market adjustments related to the Company’s warrants.

Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) along with other U.S. GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics and our U.S. GAAP financial results.

In addition, this press release includes forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted earnings or net loss per share and adjusted EBITDA, each a non-GAAP measure used to describe our expected performance. We have not presented a reconciliation of these anticipated non-GAAP measures to our most comparable GAAP financial measures, because the reconciliation could not be prepared without unreasonable effort. The information necessary to prepare the reconciliations is not available on a forward-looking basis and cannot be accurately predicted. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the calculation of the comparable GAAP financial measure.

The tables below reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA, net income, diluted EPS, operating expenses and gross margin with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures (in thousands, unaudited).
