Estimates Context

  • Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) for Q1 2023 revenue and EPS was unavailable for INPX; we attempted to fetch, but no CIQ mapping exists for this ticker in the S&P Global dataset. Actual revenue was $3.104M; GAAP EPS was $(1.38) .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Mix-led improvement: Gross margin expanded to 75% on RTLS/Aware mix; sustaining mix is key to margin durability and a path toward breakeven adjusted EBITDA .
  • Operating leverage potential: OpEx fell 5% YoY with Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowing; incremental revenue should drop through at higher margins if mix persists .
  • Liquidity watch: ~$15.3M cash vs. ~$15.0M short-term debt and $(9.5)M operating cash outflow in Q1; further ATM usage and exchanges post-quarter underscore ongoing financing needs .
  • Corporate actions drive narrative: The CXApp spin-off is complete; management is advancing diligence on a potential transaction for the remaining business—these are likely to be stock catalysts .
  • Macro/supply chain still a factor: Management continues to flag supply chain and inflation pressures; execution on deliveries and pipeline remains a watch item .
  • No guidance: Lack of formal guidance shifts focus to bookings, mix, and operating cash burn as near-term indicators .
  • Listing compliance: Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency notice adds execution pressure; corporate actions (including potential reverse split) remain a background risk to track .
