Socket Mobile Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

FREMONT, Calif., July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Socket Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), a leading provider of data capture and delivery solutions for enhanced workplace productivity, today reported financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights: 

• Revenue of $4.04 million, reflecting a 20% decrease compared to $5.08 million for the prior year's quarter, and a 2% sequential increase compared to $4.0 million for the preceding quarter.
  
  
• Gross margin of 49.9% versus 50.9% in the prior year's quarter and 50.4% in the preceding quarter.
  
  
• Operating expenses of $2.7 million, compared to $3.1 million in the prior year period and $2.9 million in the preceding quarter.
  
  
• Operating loss amounted to $677,000, compared to a $535,000 loss in the prior year's quarter, and a loss of $894,000 in the preceding quarter.
  
  
• Cash balance as of June 30, 2025, was approximately $2.6 million, up from $1.7 million at March 31, 2025, due to the $1.5 million secured subordinated convertible note financing completed in May. The June 30 balance was also slightly higher than the $2.5 million reported at December 31, 2024

"We continued to experience weaker revenue trends throughout Q2, driven by a slower run rate," said Kevin Mills, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "Additionally, concerns around potential tariffs led to significantly reduced purchases from our distributors. This resulted in a notable decline in bookings in Q2 2025, which in turn impacted our gross shipments."

"We expect these headwinds to persist through the remainder of the year. In response, we raised $1.5 million through a secured subordinated convertible note financing and implemented cost-saving measures, including reductions in operating expenses, to help navigate this challenging period."

"Despite the broader market challenges, our new XtremeScan products have been well received by initial customers and are gaining broader interest," he continued. "The XtremeScan products are being used in conjunction with iOS devices to enable frontline workers to capture data more precisely, respond more decisively, and execute critical tasks with greater speed and confidence."

"We look forward to sharing more details about our new product initiatives and strategies to drive revenue growth during our upcoming conference call," concluded Mr. Mills.
