DIH HOLDING US, INC. (ATAK)·Q2 2024 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- DIH (Nasdaq: DHAI) reported fiscal Q1 2025 (calendar Q2 2024) revenue of $16.2M (+24% y/y), gross margin of 53.5% (+~12pp y/y), and net loss of $0.6M (EPS -$0.02), driven by stronger Devices and Services sales in EMEA and the Americas and aided by FX; management reiterated FY25 revenue guidance of $74–77M (+15–20% y/y) .
- Sequentially versus Q4 FY24, revenue declined (seasonality/order timing) but operating loss and EPS improved as gross margin expanded; y/y improvements reflect higher volumes and absence of prior-year inventory reserve build, partly offset by higher public-company SG&A and tax expense .
- Liquidity remains tight (cash $2.7M) and DIH issued $3.3M OID senior secured convertible debentures (8% coupon; $5.00 conversion; monthly redemptions starting Dec-2024) alongside 330k warrants, creating potential dilution/overhang; remediation of material weaknesses in ICFR is ongoing .
- No Q2 2024 earnings call transcript was filed; S&P Global (Capital IQ) consensus estimates were unavailable for this ticker mapping, so beat/miss versus Street could not be assessed; near‑term stock catalysts are likely margin sustainability, EMEA/Americas momentum, and execution on FY25 revenue guidance amid FX and APAC variability .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Strong y/y top-line growth (+24%) with Devices +18% and Services +49%, led by EMEA (+54%) and Americas (+54%); management highlighted increased account penetration, workflow efficiencies, and margin expansion .
- Material gross margin improvement to 53.5% (from ~41% a year ago), supported by higher volumes and the absence of prior-period inventory reserve charges that weighed on gross profit in the year-ago quarter .
- CEO tone positive: “We are very pleased… two of our major strategic markets, EMEA and the Americas, each achieved growth of 54% and recurring service revenue grew by 49%… significant improvements in both gross margin and net income” .
What Went Wrong
- APAC declined sharply y/y ($1.37M vs $3.43M) offsetting some regional strength; management cited overall regional mix dynamics .
- Operating cash flow was negative for the quarter (-$2.0M) with lower advance payments and working capital swings; cash declined to $2.7M, underscoring tight liquidity .
- Internal controls: disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses; remediation is in progress, presenting governance/process risk .

Estimates Context
- S&P Global/Capital IQ consensus estimates were unavailable for ATAK/DHAI due to missing CIQ mapping; therefore, we cannot assess beat/miss versus Street for revenue or EPS this quarter [GetEstimates errors].
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Revenue growth was broad-based in EMEA and the Americas, with robust Services growth improving mix; APAC weakness partly offset regional strength .
- Margin trajectory improved meaningfully (53.5% GM), aided by higher volumes and lapping prior-year inventory reserve; sustaining >50% GM is a key watch‑item .
- Liquidity is tight (cash $2.7M) and the June convertible issuance (8%, $5.00 conversion, monthly redemptions from Dec‑2024 in cash or shares) introduces refinancing/dilution risk; monitor redemption mechanics and cash generation in 2H .
- Operating cash flow was negative in the quarter on working-capital swings (lower advance payments); converting backlog/deferred revenue to cash is critical near term .
- Governance/process: material weaknesses in internal controls persist; remediation progress and audit outcomes are important to sentiment and valuation .
- FY25 revenue guidance maintained at $74–77M (+15–20% y/y); delivery against this while managing FX and APAC variability is the core fundamental catalyst .
- No transcript/consensus visibility limits near-term “beat/miss” narratives; investor focus likely centers on margin durability, cash/convert overhang, and regional execution .
