DIH HOLDING US, INC. (ATAK)·Q1 2024 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- DIH reported $19.36M revenue and a net loss of $4.77M for the three months ended March 31, 2024, down 10.2% YoY as device shipments slipped due to customer-driven installation timing; EPS was $(0.16) versus $0.19 prior year .
- Gross profit fell to $9.81M versus $14.81M YoY, driven by inflationary cost increases, overhead and service parts costs, and installation delays impacting revenue recognition .
- Management introduced FY25 revenue guidance of $74–$77M on July 15 and maintained it on Aug 19; near-term narrative hinges on execution and normalization of fulfillment schedules to recapture deferred device revenue .
- Incremental financing (OrbiMed $1.5M equity in Feb and $3.0M gross proceeds from 8% secured convertible debentures in June) supports working capital and growth initiatives; instruments include $10 strike warrants (OrbiMed) and $5.00 conversion/ exercise features (Debentures/warrants) .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- “Fiscal 2024 was a critical inflection year… generating positive operating cash flow while furthering operational accomplishments” and delivering FY revenue of $64.5M (+19% YoY) and $5.2M cash from operations, underscoring commercial momentum and cash discipline .
- FY25 Q1 (three months ended June 30, 2024) showed strong snapback: revenue +24% YoY to $16.2M, gross margin 53.5% (+12 ppt YoY), and net loss improved by $2.3M, driven by EMEA and Americas +54% growth and recurring service revenue +49% .
- Strategic capital support: OrbiMed participated in a $1.5M private placement at $10 per share with 300,000 warrants, and the company raised ~$3.0M through secured convertibles (8% OID with $5.00 conversion and associated warrants) to bolster growth .
What Went Wrong
- Q1 2024 (three months ended March 31, 2024) revenue declined 10.2% YoY to $19.36M on device fulfillment timing and installation delays, pressuring gross profit (-33.8% YoY to $9.81M) and flipping to an operating loss of $(0.24)M .
- SG&A rose 19.2% YoY in the quarter to $8.12M on IT consulting, software licenses, and insurance tied to the business combination, intensifying near-term operating leverage challenges .
- Elevated overhead and service parts costs, inventory reserves (+$0.6M), and inflationary input costs (≈$2.2M full-year impact) weighed on profitability; FX also marginally impacted results across periods .

Estimates Context
Wall Street consensus estimates (S&P Global/Capital IQ) were unavailable for ATAK due to missing SPGI mapping at the time of query; we could not retrieve EPS or revenue consensus for Q1 2024 or adjacent quarters. This limits beat/miss assessment versus the Street.
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Q1 2024 (three months ended Mar 31, 2024) softness was timing-driven, not demand-driven; installation delays deferred device revenue into FY25, implying potential revenue catch-up as logistics normalize .
- FY25 Q1 performance (three months ended Jun 30, 2024) shows early re-acceleration with broadened regional strength (EMEA/Americas) and service growth, alongside materially improved gross margins; watch margin durability and mix .
- FY25 revenue guidance maintained at $74–$77M; execution on backlog conversion and service monetization is the central near-term catalyst for sentiment and potential re-rating .
- Cost/overhead discipline and supply-chain/service parts management are focal points after FY24 inflationary and reserve impacts; sustained margin improvement would support operating leverage .
- Capital flexibility improved via OrbiMed equity and secured convertibles; monitor dilution mechanics (conversion/warrants) and covenant/secured status versus growth investments .
- Regulatory/listing complexities were pre-combination SPAC issues; focus now shifts to public-company reporting cadence and investor communications through decks and releases .
- Trading implication: near-term moves likely tied to evidence of deferred device revenue recognition, service growth persistence, and margin trajectory; medium-term thesis rests on platform consolidation and VR/robotics leadership in rehab markets .
