Austin, Texas [August 14, 2020] (ORIGINAL: BUSINESS WIRE) – Phunware, Inc. (NASDAQ: PHUN) (the “Company”), a fully-integrated enterprise cloud platform mobile that provides products, solutions, data and services for brands worldwide, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2020, and provided an update on recent business developments.

“Independent of the ongoing pandemic, we continue executing our operational model and business strategy to become the premier digital transformation source for mobile initiatives worldwide,” said Alan S. Knitowski, President, CEO and Co-Founder of Phunware. ”Our latest quarter closed with nearly $10 million in Backlog and Deferred Revenue for our Multiscreen-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform, while most of our corporate customers remained in either a lockdown or remote, work-from-home operational status. While we do not expect our customers or partners to be back to normal operations until a COVID-19 vaccine becomes widely available, we are already seeing much more business activity with each passing week and month and believe that there is a lot of pent up demand tied to pending MaaS bookings that will be released throughout the balance of the year.”

Notably, the Company expects an acceleration of Net Revenues total for both the coming quarter and the balance of the year sequentially, and also believes that the most recent quarter represents a quarterly, annual and historic bottom for its revenue recognition as a public company.

Second Quarter 2020 Summary Financial Highlights

  • Net Revenues for the quarter totaled $2.2 million
  • Platform Subscriptions and Services Revenues were $2.0 million
  • Gross Margin was 65.3%
  • Net Loss was ($3.5) million
  • Net Loss per Share was ($0.08)
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Loss was ($1.8) million

“As we manage through the uncertainty of the ongoing pandemic, we are encouraged that we have been able to position ourselves for success in the future by strengthening our balance sheet and lowering our operational expenses,” said Matt Aune, CFO of Phunware. “In addition to our efforts reducing operational expense, we are pleased to see an improvement of nearly 1,500 basis points to year-over-year gross margin as we continue to focus on our higher margin longer term software customers.”
