Exhibit 99.1
Remote Monitoring and Control Provider Acorn
Approved for Listing on Nasdaq Capital Market
Wilmington, DE, July 23, 2025 – AcornEnergy, Inc. (OTCQB: ACFN), a provider of remote monitoring and control solutions for backup power generators, gas pipelines and air compressors, today announced that its common stock has been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and that it expects its shares to commence trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on Thursday, July 24, 2025. The ticker symbol for its common stock, ACFN, will remain unchanged. Acorn’s uplisting to Nasdaq is intended to increase visibility, liquidity and investor access to its common stock.
Acorn CEO, Jan Loeb, commented: “Acorn has emerged as a technology and service leader in remote monitoring and control solutions for backup generators and other industrial equipment. We continue to build our base of recurring monitoring revenue through the sale of new monitoring hardware units.
“Uplisting to Nasdaq is an exciting milestone for our employees and other stakeholders. It underscores our transformation from a diversified entity with a history of operating losses to a focused, high-margin, cash-generating growth business. Based on favorable trends driving demand for backup generators and remote monitoring, we believe we can grow our revenue at an average annual rate of 20% or more, over the next three-to-five year period, while bringing approximately 50% of each incremental revenue dollar to the operating profit line. We expect to exceed our 20% growth target in 2025 and believe our Nasdaq listing will support us in continuing to grow and build shareholder value.”
At March 31, 2025 Acorn had 2,491,130 common shares outstanding, $2.6M in cash and no debt. Acorn reported Q1’25 revenue of $3.1M and net income of $464,000, or $0.19 per diluted share.
