Smith Micro Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

PITTSBURGH, PA, November 10, 2021 – Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI) (“Smith Micro” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

“I am pleased with the important milestones the Company achieved since we last reported earnings,” said William W. Smith, Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software. “We made significant progress with all three of our U.S.-based Tier 1 carrier customers, including finalizing the commercial agreement for one carrier’s next-generation family safety service, which will be powered by our SafePath® 7 platform.  We are now strategically positioned to offer our market-leading family safety platform to the majority of U.S. mobile subscribers for the foreseeable future.

“Consumer demand for digital lifestyle services continues to grow, the total addressable market for our core product line is massive, and our working relationships with our major customers have never been more productive,” Smith continued. “The next chapter of the Smith Micro growth story is just beginning.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Smith Micro reported revenue of $16.4 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $12.6 million reported in the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Third quarter 2021 gross profit was $12.8 million compared to $11.3 million reported in the third quarter of 2020.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 78 percent for the third quarter of 2021 compared to 90 percent for the third quarter of 2020.

Smith Micro Software Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results Page 2

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) net loss for the third quarter of 2021 was $18.6 million, or $0.34 loss per share, compared to GAAP net income of $161 thousand, or break even on a diluted earnings per share basis, for the third quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP net loss (which excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, CFO transition costs, acquisition costs including changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and costs related to the acquisition of certain non-development intellectual property) for the third quarter of 2021 was $258 thousand, or break even on an earnings per share basis, compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.8 million, or $0.04 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2020.

Third Quarter Year-to-Date 2021 Financial Results

Smith Micro reported revenue of $43.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $38.9 million reported in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $35.1 million.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 80 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 90 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $27.0 million, or $0.54 loss per share, compared to GAAP net income of $3.6 million, or $0.08 diluted earnings per share, for the same period in 2020.

Non-GAAP net income (which excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, CFO transition costs, acquisition costs including changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and costs related to the acquisition of certain non-development intellectual property) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $139 thousand, or break even on an earnings per share basis, compared to non-GAAP net income of $9.0 million, or $0.21 diluted earnings per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Total cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 were $32.4 million.

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company considers, and has included in this press release, certain non-GAAP financial measures, including free cash flow, and a non-GAAP reconciliation of gross profit, income (loss) before taxes, net income (loss), and earnings (loss) per share in the presentation of financial results in this press release. Management believes this non-GAAP presentation may be more meaningful in analyzing our income generation and has

Smith Micro Software Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results Page 3

therefore excluded the following items from GAAP earnings calculations: stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, CFO transition costs, acquisition costs including changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and costs related to the acquisition of certain non-development intellectual property. Additionally, since the Company currently has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized to reduce future cash payments for income taxes, these non-GAAP adjustments have not been tax effected, and the resulting income tax expense reflects actual taxes paid or accrued during each period. This presentation may be considered more indicative of our ongoing operational performance. The table below presents the differences between non-GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) on an absolute and per-share basis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and the non-financial measures as reported by Smith Micro may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release are, and certain statements on the related conference call may be, forward-looking statements regarding future events or results within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, including statements related to our financial prospects and other projections of our outlook or performance and our future business plans, and statements using such words as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “could,” “will” and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Among the important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are customer concentration, given that the majority of our sales depend on a few large customer relationships, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results, delays in adoption of our products and services by our customers and their end users, changes in demand for our products from our customers and their end-users, changes in requirements for our products imposed by our customers or by the third party providers of software and/or platforms that we use, our ability to effectively integrate, market and sell acquired product lines, new and changing technologies, customer acceptance and timing of deployment of those technologies, and our ability to compete effectively with other software and technology companies. These and other factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this release are made on the basis of the views and assumptions of management, and we do not undertake any obligation to update these statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this release.
