Algorhythm Holdings - Q3 2025

Executive Summary

• Record 1,273% year-over-year revenue growth to $1.74M, driven by SemiCab India; gross margin improved to -20% (from -25%) and operating expenses fell to $1.21M, narrowing net loss from continuing operations to $(1.88)M.
• Sale of legacy Singing Machine for $4.5M completed; company now fully focused on AI-driven logistics with SemiCab, including launch of “APEX” SaaS targeting 90–95% gross margins and global scalability.
• Management guided Q4 revenue around ~$2M and an annualized run-rate rising to $15–$20M by end of next year; Apex SaaS expected to begin material recurring revenue in 2026.
• Stock narrative catalysts: transformational pivot to asset-light SaaS (APEX), India contract wins and fleet expansion to 450 trucks (implying >$23M capacity), and reduced cash burn post-divestiture.

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

• “Transformational period”: divestiture of Singing Machine, refocus on high-growth AI logistics; launch of APEX SaaS with high-margin recurring revenue potential and fast global deployment.
• SemiCab India momentum: YoY revenue up ~1,300% and tracking toward ~$10M annual contractual run-rate; added Fortune 500 clients and multiple pilot-to-contract expansions.
• Cost discipline: operating expenses down to $1.21M y/y from $1.79M; management expects cash outflows to trend lower post-divestiture.

What Went Wrong

• Gross loss persists: -$351k and negative gross margin (-20%); management notes ramp costs and underutilized trucks in new territories depress gross profitability near term.
• India growth gating factor: access to trucks constrains pace; management plans working capital and financing solutions to address the cash-to-cash timing.
• Capital needs: company expects to raise additional funding (likely equity) to finance SemiCab growth despite some debt and reduced working capital needs post-divestiture.

Good day, everyone, and welcome to the Algorhythm Holdings Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results Earning Call. My name is Elvis, and I'll be your operator today. As a reminder, this call is being recorded. We have a brief Safe Harbor Statement, and then we'll get started. This call contains forward-looking statements under U.S. Federal Securities Laws. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or present expectations. A description of some of the risks and uncertainties can be found in the reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the cautionary statement found in our current and periodic filings. Now, I'll turn the call over to Gary Atkinson, Company CEO. Please go ahead, Gary.

Gary Atkinson (CEO)

Thank you. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining our Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Call. My name is Gary Atkinson, Company CEO. I'm also joined this morning by Alex Andre, Company CFO and General Counsel. I appreciate you taking the time to hear about the progress we've made as Algorhythm continues on its growth as a leading AI-driven Logistics Technology company. This quarter was a major milestone for us. It was the 1st reporting period since we completed the sale of our legacy Singing Machine business and transitioned to a clean financial presentation reflecting only our core operations at SemiCab. This is the new Algorhythm, a lean, Technology-first Organization focused squarely on disrupting freight logistics through Artificial Intelligence and Network Optimization. Before diving into our recent progress, I want to restate the core problem that SemiCab is solving and why our conviction in this business continues to grow.

First, the Global Truckload Transportation market is massive. It has a total addressable market of approximately $3 trillion per year. Second, the industry remains massively inefficient. On average, one out of every 3 mi driven by a truck is empty. These empty miles cost shippers and carriers over $1 trillion annually, not to mention the hidden impacts of unnecessary road congestion, wasted fuel, and avoidable CO2 emissions. Third, SemiCab is uniquely positioned to address this problem. We are one of the 1st Freight Technology Platforms to embed our AI-driven collaborative optimization model directly into the core of our architecture. Our platform is designed by default to continuously optimize every single load we process automatically, finding multilateral matches to reduce empty miles. Finally, we're seeing the proof. It's working.

In India, our real-world case studies show many examples of Truck Utilization Rates improving to approximately 85%, outperforming industry average by more than 20 percentage points. If done at scale and with proper execution, we believe SemiCab can be an integral part of the infrastructure that coordinates all full truckload movements around the world. Alex will go into more details shortly, but I want to call out several major achievements from the last few quarters. During the 3rd quarter, revenue increased approximately 1,300% year-over-year, representing an Annualized Run Rate of about $7 million. This year, we've added four new Fortune 500 clients in India, and we've converted Five Pilot Programs into Multi-million dollar contract expansions. Across all awarded expansions, we are now tracking toward approximately $10 million in Annual Contractual Run Rate.

This is a forward-looking metric and dependent on continued access to trucks, but it is a strong indicator of the direction and scale that we're moving ahead with. We anticipate further customer activity before year-end, and we look forward to updating you as progress continues. With that, I will now turn the call over to Alex Andre, our CFO, who will walk through the 3rd quarter financial results.

Alex Andre (CFO)

Thank you, Gary. Hello, everyone. The quarterly report that we'll be filing with the SEC later today will present our financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30th, 2025 and 2024. As Gary mentioned, we sold Singing Machine on August 1st. Under applicable GAAP provisions, we reflected all financial results attributable to Singing Machine as discontinued operations in our financial statements. As a result, our Balance Sheet, Income statement, and statement of Cash Flows only reflect the financial results of our continuing operations, including the operations of SemiCab. Singing Machine's financial results for all periods reported in our financial statements are reflected in select line items referencing discontinued operations.

Moving on to our 3rd quarter financial results, sales for the three months ended September 30th, 2025, increased to $1.7 million from $100,000 last year, primarily due to the acquisition of SMCB Solutions Private Ltd on May 2nd, 2025. SMCB, which owns our SemiCab business in India, was responsible for $1.7 million of revenue that we achieved during the 3rd quarter of 2025. SemiCab's legacy U.S. business was responsible for the $100,000 of revenue that we generated during the 3rd quarter of 2024. We recently announced that SemiCab's annualized Revenue Run Rate had tripled to more than $7 million since January 2025. This growth was reflected in the revenue that we generated this quarter. We expect SemiCab to generate around $2 million during our 4th quarter.

During the next 12 months, we expect revenue to increase substantially, with SemiCab's annualized Revenue Run Rate increasing to between $15 million and $20 million by the end of next year. This will be largely attributable to the growth in our SemiCab India business, but will also reflect some revenue that we expect to generate from SemiCab's new U.S.-based SaaS business that we recently announced. Gary will discuss SemiCab's U.S. SaaS business later during this call. Gross loss for the three months ended September 30th, 2025, increased to $351,000 from $32,000 last year, with gross margin percentage decreasing to -20% this quarter from -25% last year.

Gross loss is a function of the revenue that SemiCab generates from the managed services that it provides in India and the freight handling and servicing costs that comprise its cost of sales that it incurs in connection with the provision of those services. SemiCab pays for access to trucks and generates revenue by using these trucks to complete shipments for its customers. SemiCab enters into contracts for access to trucks when it enters into new territories, then begins generating revenue in these territories as it acquires customers there. SemiCab does not fully utilize the trucks that it is paying for when it first enters new territories. As it obtains customers in the territories and is awarded more routes from its customers, it will be able to more fully utilize the trucks it has under contract.

This will result in the amount of revenue generated from the trucks going up, spreading a larger revenue base over the relatively small cost of the trucks it is using in the territories. We expect gross loss to decrease over the next 12 months as the growth in revenue that SemiCab generates from obtaining additional routes from its growing customer base exceeds the increase in the cost of sales that it will incur as it enters into contracts for access to additional trucks. Operating Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, decreased to $1.2 million from $1.8 million last year. The decrease was due primarily to cost reduction measures that we implemented during the past couple of quarters and a decrease in Operating Expenses that we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30th, 2024, in connection with our acquisition of the assets of SemiCab's U.S.

business on July 3rd, 2024. We expect general and Administrative Expenses to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to invest in the Growth and Development of our SemiCab business. Net loss for the three months ended September 30th, 2025, decreased to $1.8 million from $2.1 million last year. The decrease was due primarily to the cost reduction measures that we implemented during the past couple of quarters and the decrease in Operating Expenses that we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30th, 2024, in connection with our acquisition of the assets of SemiCab's U.S. business on July 3, 2024. Net loss available to common stockholders is expected to remain at similar levels over the next 12 months.

We expect cost reduction activities that we are engaged in to beneficially impact our net loss, but expect this to be offset by increases in the investment we will make in the growth and development of SemiCab. That concludes my overview of the 3rd quarter financial results.

Gary Atkinson (CEO)

Perfect. Thank you, Alex. Before we open up the call to questions, I would like to close by highlighting a new initiative that we announced last week that we believe will meaningfully accelerate our growth and further transform our business: the launch of SemiCab APEX, our new SaaS platform for the U.S. and global markets. APEX is an important evolution of our go-to-market strategy and a major expansion of our business model. It offers a combination of High Margins, Rapid Scalability, and Global Adaptability, delivered through Cloud-based Software that is frictionless for customers. Here are a few key reasons why we are so excited about APEX. APEX is a high-margin SaaS product. Because APEX is delivered entirely as software without any Physical Freight Operations, it carries significantly higher gross margin. As adoption increases, we expect APEX to significantly improve our blended company margins and strengthen overall profitability. APEX scales quickly.

Unlike our managed services business, APEX does not require access to trucking fleets to grow revenue. APEX can be deployed within any Enterprise shipper's business that manages their own dedicated fleet, or APEX can be implemented with a 3PL warehouse or carrier network. APEX is also extremely easy to implement. We designed APEX to integrate into existing TMS or Transportation Management Systems via commonly used APIs without requiring a Major IT Integration Project. This dramatically reduces customer friction and speeds up time to market. APEX is globally deployable. Because we are solving a global inefficiency that is not dependent on region-specific physical operations, APEX can be deployed in the U.S., India, Europe, Middle East, or any market around the world where shippers need better visibility, planning, and optimization. I'll close on this note. APEX is the future of SemiCab.

We're building toward a world where our platform powers millions of loads every day across tens of thousands of shippers globally, where we are positioned to generate recurring revenue and transaction fees on each and every one of these loads that is coming through the SemiCab platform. With that, I would now like to open the call for any questions.

Operator (participant)

If you'd like to ask a question, please press star one on your phone now, and you'll be placed into the queue in the order received. We'll pause briefly to form our queue. Again, everyone, star one for a question. We have a question from Brian Cantelo, an investor.

Speaker 4

Hey, good morning, Gary.

Gary Atkinson (CEO)

Hey, good morning, Brian. How are you?

Speaker 4

Good. Congratulations on a great quarter. Appreciate the update. Just one quick question. You talked about APEX. Sounds extremely exciting. Can you just explain what the go-to-market strategy is? What we should be looking for as points of progress?

Gary Atkinson (CEO)

Yeah, absolutely, Brian. Thanks for that question. I'm happy to talk more about APEX. I mean, again, we are very, very excited about this product launch, particularly in the U.S. In terms of sort of the go-to-market strategy, we've identified three different verticals that we're going to be going after with the APEX product. The first one that we touched on are Enterprise Shippers. These would be fast-moving consumer goods companies, very similar in profile to the companies that we're servicing in India. Basically, any enterprise customer that has its own dedicated fleet, for example, let's say customers like a Pepsi or a Coca-Cola or a Walmart, or basically large clients that have 50-60% of their trucking is internally managed, they could deploy SemiCab APEX platform right sort of on top of their TMS system.

It is a very—we're not asking a customer to replace their entire TMS system. We're just asking them to add some API hooks that go into our Cloud-based APEX platform to help optimize what they're already doing. That is one distinct vertical. The other one we're looking at is essentially 3PL warehousing customers that offer Freight Brokerage Services. They could be then utilizing the SemiCab APEX platform to offer new services to their existing customers. It would sort of be like a white labeling of our platform where 3PL warehouses could advertise themselves as a 5PL service provider and basically white label our platform to their customers. That is another way of generating revenue. Finally, the last segment that we've identified is the carriers themselves.

If you're a large transporter with thousands of trucks, you could utilize SemiCab to help improve what you're currently already doing. That is sort of the three different verticals that we've identified. We're going to be sort of growing our sales team over time as we progress our conversations with those different customer groups. Hopefully that answers the question.

Speaker 4

That's helpful. Thank you very much, and congratulations again.

Gary Atkinson (CEO)

Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it.

Operator (participant)

Next, we have Eric Nickerson of Third Century Partners.

Eric Nickerson (Research Analyst)

Hey, hey, good morning, Gary. I'm sorry. Eric, can you hear me? Hello?

Gary Atkinson (CEO)

I can hear you. I can hear you.

Eric Nickerson (Research Analyst)

Okay, good. I came onto the call just as you were finishing up your comments and opening up for questions. All I really want to ask is, is this call going to be—is it going to be on the website so I can listen to it there?

Gary Atkinson (CEO)

Yep. This call is recorded. It will be available up on our website a little bit later today once the recording becomes available. We can share it out with you, Eric.

Eric Nickerson (Research Analyst)

Okay, good. I'll do that. Just one other question. A moment ago, you said you're particularly excited about the United States. Is that to say that you think the U.S. market is going to be a better immediate place to attack than India? Did I hear you right on that?

Gary Atkinson (CEO)

I mean, yeah. I do not want to—I think the thing that I am so excited about the U.S. and the APEX launch in particular is the margins on SaaS are typically 90%-95% gross margins. The ability to transform the financials of the company are just much more meaningful with the APEX launch. Also, the ability at which it can scale. Right now, I would say one of the sort of gating items on the growth in India is just access to trucks. Whereas here with the APEX launch in the U.S., we are not limited at all by any physical access to really anything. It is pure software. It is Cloud-based. It can scale as fast as a customer wants to scale. There is no—it is just much easier to scale and deploy as opposed to India.

Which is not to say we're not excited about the growth in India. I mean, we've got massive, massive growth opportunities in India, but it does require more of an operational lift just because you need to have access to trucks. You need a Full team On-site to manage. They are both good businesses. We both think they complement each other well. It is just one can move a lot faster than the other.

Eric Nickerson (Research Analyst)

Okay, good. I won't bother you with stuff that'll probably just make you repeat what you've already said. I'll listen to the call on the transcript. Thanks. That's all I have.

Gary Atkinson (CEO)

Perfect. Thank you.

Operator (participant)

Once again, everyone, star one for a question. We have no further questions at this time. Gary, I'll turn the program back over to you for any closing comments.

Gary Atkinson (CEO)

Okay. All right. That concludes our prepared portion of the call today. I want to just thank everybody for taking the time to join us. We look forward to continuing to update everybody into the near-term future as we continue to scale the business, add clients, expand clients, and continue to grow. Thank you again for all your support, and we'll be talking soon. Thank you.

Operator (participant)

That concludes our meeting today. Thank you for joining. You may now disconnect.
