VislinkReports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial and Operational Results - Update


CompanyAchieves 75% Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth in MilGov Markets for 2023

ManagementForecasts Improved Cash Flow and Significant Revenue Expansion in 2024


Mt.Olive, NJ — April 1, 2024 — Vislink Technologies, Inc.

FourthQuarter 2023 and Recent Operational Highlights

It provides additional valuable opportunities to introduce<br> and promote the Company’s best-in-class AVDS (Aerial Video Downlink Systems) solutions<br> into BMS’s extensive customer network, which includes U.S. Federal agencies, global<br> OEMs, and large governments in EMEA.
Launched Air-to-Anywhere™ within its AVDS platform, enabling high-resolution, ultralow-latency<br> real-time video distribution and management to any device, anywhere. This advancement will<br> include the Company’s roadmap initiatives to leverage AI for enhanced analytics, and<br> is expected to pave new avenues to develop recurring revenue via in-depth data insights.
--- ---
Solidified its presence in the expanding drone command and control market, a high-growth area<br> with the opportunity to leverage the Company’s proprietary hardware infrastructure<br> and Air-to-Anywhere software solution platform.

ManagementCommentary

“2023 marked a pivotal year for Vislink, as we laid the groundwork for accelerated revenue growth and cash flow neutrality in 2024,” said Vislink CEO Mickey Miller. “During the year, we significantly advanced our presence in the expanding AVDS market, as evidenced by a 75% year-over-year revenue growth in the MilGov space. In September, we finalized the strategic acquisition of BMS assets, marking a significant step forward in expanding our reach within the MilGov market, especially in EMEA. This move has quickly demonstrated its value, as evidenced by a substantial order we’ve recently secured in the region. BMS’s customer base complements our AVDS solutions perfectly, significantly broadening our market reach and growth potential in the coming years. Additionally, the launch of Air-to-Anywhere™ in our AVDS platform, which integrates AI for advanced analytics, has opened new avenues for developing recurring revenue by offering in-depth data insights to customers. This milestone is part of a broader success story, as we also saw our high-margin software and services revenue climb above 10% of total revenue in 2023, exceeding our goal set at the beginning of the year.

“In parallel, Vislink has undergone a significant transformation over the past two years, streamlining our operations to enhance efficiency and profitability. We’ve consolidated and outsourced manufacturing, simplified our product lineup, and improved the coordination between our sales and manufacturing teams. These steps have not only improved our operating efficiency and flexibility, leading to profitability improvements in 2023, but they also set us on a path to positive cash flow. Our accelerated MilGov sales, combined with increasing software and services sales and operating leverage, are expected to drive robust growth, aiming to be cash flow positive in 2025.

“Vislink entered 2024 in a strong position, with a $48 million weighted sales pipeline. As we move into the second quarter, we have our highest backlog since the pandemic, giving us ample opportunity for growth in 2024. Our operational improvements have set the stage for us to capitalize on these opportunities, complemented by a notable increase in year-over-year bookings at the start of the year. We are actively driving software and services sales, and our latest innovations (AeroLink, Aero5, LiveLink, and LinkMatrix) are receiving positive market response. With these efforts and innovations, we believe Vislink is well-prepared for a strong year of growth.”

FourthQuarter 2023 Financial Results


Revenue<br> increased to $8.1 million, compared to $7.4 million in the prior year period.
Gross<br> margin increased to 46%, up from 33% in the prior year period. The improvement in gross margin<br> was due to the greater contribution of MilGov revenue and software and services to total<br> revenue, partially offset by one-time manufacturing charges related to new products.
--- ---
Net<br> loss attributable to common shareholders totaled $(2.4) million, or $(0.99) per share, an<br> improvement compared to $(5.5) million, or $(2.36) per share, in the prior year period.
--- ---

FullYear 2023 Financial Results


Revenue<br> was $27.5 million, compared to $28.1 million in 2022. The change in revenue was a result<br> of product line streamlining efforts, which started in 2022, and the discontinuation of lower-margin,<br> sub-scale product lines.
Gross<br> margin increased to 51%, up from 46% in 2022. The increase was due to the greater contribution<br> of software and services to total revenue.
--- ---
Net<br> loss attributable to common shareholders totaled $(9.1) million, or $(3.83) per share, an<br> improvement compared to $(13.5) million, or $(5.81) per share, in 2022.
--- ---
| 2 |

| --- |

EBITDA<br> (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) totaled $(9.0) million,<br> an improvement compared to $(12.0) million in 2022.
Cash<br> and short-term investments were $14.2 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $18.2 million<br> at the end of the third quarter. The increased use of cash observed in the fourth quarter<br> of 2023 can be primarily attributed to higher receivables and inventory levels, reflecting<br> the longer customer acceptance cycles for new products and strategic positioning for future<br> growth. In 2024, the Company expects to improve working capital performance by optimizing<br> inventory management and accelerating customer acceptance of new products.

Non-GAAPFinancial Measure: EBITDA


Tosupplement our financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), we are presenting EBITDAin this earnings release and the related earnings conference call. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not based on any standardizedmethodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We defineEBITDA as our net income (loss), excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization expense and interest income and tax). We havepresented EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance,establish budgets, and develop operational goals for managing our business. In particular, we believe that excluding the impact of theseexpenses in calculating EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance. A reconciliationof non-GAAP EBITDA to GAAP net loss appears in the financial tables accompanying this press release as set forth below.
