Diversified Hosted Services Expansion

Text size:

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / August 19, 2025 / KonaTel, Inc. (OTCQB:KTEL) (www.konatel.com), a voice/data communications holding company, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

Revenues of $2.2 million, down 50.3% compared to the second quarter last year. The decrease in revenue, as discussed with our year-end 2024 results, relates to fewer activations within the Company's Mobile Services ("Lifeline") segment as a result of reduced government subsidized revenues from the cancellation of the Affordable Connectivity Program (the "ACP Program").
Gross profit of $550,240, down 38.8% compared to the second quarter last year.
Operating loss of $(1,198,558) compared to operating loss of $(1,254,362) in the second quarter last year.
GAAP net loss of $(1,187,641), or $(0.03) per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $(1,109,697), or $(0.03) per share, in the second quarter last year.
Non-GAAP net loss of $(942,182), or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to a Non-GAAP net loss of $(884,571), or $(0.02) per diluted share, in the second quarter of last year.
Generally, Q2 revenue, gross profit and non-GAAP income were on par with Q1.
Cash remained healthy at $1.5 million, and we have already taken significant steps to further reduce cash burn as our new growth initiatives gain traction.

Sean McEwen, Chairman and CEO of KonaTel stated, "As previously stated in our 2024 10K filing, congress' failure to re-fund the ACP Program has negatively impacted our business. We continue to aggressively pursue third-party relationships to expand our Lifeline operation, and we are currently awaiting regulatory approval in the state of California to potentially launch a new partnership before the end of 2025.

As part of our ongoing revenue diversification/derisking efforts, we continue to invest in the expansion of our CPaaS ("Communications Platform as a Service") cloud platform, including wholesale SMS and POTS ("Plain Old Telephone Service") wholesale cellular replacement service, specifically designed for telecommunications carriers and resellers."

McEwen closed, "The unpredictable behavior of Congress during 2024 negatively impacted our business, but we shifted our development and sales efforts into new areas of expansion. We continue to believe one of our strong advantages comes from our established wholesale cloud CPaaS platform, that supports a variety of services, including termination/origination, VoIP/SIP, SMS, POTS, Mobile Data, and Mobile Voice solutions.

Management's focus on our CPaaS business is providing a foundation to derisk the Company through the addition of future, low attrition recurring revenue services, and if we are successful with new distribution partnerships within our government subsidized Lifeline cellular service, we expect to see additional revenues."

Quarterly Financial Summary (Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024)

Revenue of $2.2 million, a decrease of 50.3% compared to $4.3 million for the reasons discussed above. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the loss of mobile services revenues under the ACP Program, which ended on June 1, 2024.

Gross profit was $550,240, or 25.5% gross profit margin, compared to $899,707, or 20.7% gross profit margin. This increase primarily resulted from adding higher Average Revenue Per User ("ARPU") activations within our Mobile Services segment, and sourcing lower compensation and network costs.

Total operating expenses were $1.7 million, compared to $2.2 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower payroll and related expenses associated with the reduction of headcount in our IM Telecom subsidiary in the fourth quarter of 2024 as well as lower application development costs in our Hosted Services segment.

GAAP net loss was $(1,187,641) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share (based on 43.5 million weighted average shares), compared to a net loss of $(1,109,697), or $(0.03) per diluted share (based on 43.4 million weighted average shares).

Non-GAAP net loss was $(942,182), or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to a Non-GAAP net loss of $(884,571), or $(0.02) per diluted share.

Balance Sheet

The Company ended the quarter with $1.5 million in cash, compared to $3.7 million on June 30, 2024. This decrease was due to a corresponding reduction in operating revenues during the same period.

Year-to-Date Financial Detail (First Six Months of 2025 vs. First Six Months of 2024)

Revenues decreased 56.6% to $4.3 million compared to $10 million, reflecting a 1% decrease in Hosted Services revenues and an 81% decrease in Mobile Services revenues.

Gross profit was $1,202,133 or 27.8% gross profit margin, compared to gross profit of $2 million, or 20.3% gross profit margin. This increase in gross profit margin percentage primarily resulted from adding a higher percent of activations in the California market in our Mobile Services segment, and sourcing lower per subscriber network costs.

Total operating expenses were $3.3 million, down (18.8%) compared to $4.1 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower payroll and related expenses associated with the reduction of headcount in our IM Telecom subsidiary and lower application development costs in our Apeiron Systems subsidiary.

GAAP net loss was $(2,105,169) or $(0.05) per diluted share (based on 43.5 million weighted average shares), compared to net income of $7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share (based on 43.3 million weighted average shares). This decrease was a result of the gain on sale recognized as part of our sale of 49% interest in IM Telecom in the first quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP net loss was $(1,619,014) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $7.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share.
