KonaTel Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

Losses Narrow as Cost of Delivery is Reduced; Subscriber Activations Accelerate

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2023 / KonaTel, Inc. (OTCQB:KTEL) (www.konatel.com), a voice/data communications holding company, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Summary

  • Revenues of $4.6 million, down 10.2% compared to the second quarter last year.
  • Gross profit of $774,000, up 74.9% compared to the second quarter last year.
  • Operating loss of $(1.0) million compared to operating loss of $(1.4) million in the second quarter last year.
  • GAAP net loss of $(1.2) million, or $(0.03) per share, compared to $(1.5) million, or $(0.04) per share, in the second quarter last year.
  • Non-GAAP net loss of $(900,000), or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to Non-GAAP net loss of $(1.2) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, in the second quarter of last year.

Sean McEwen, Chairman and CEO of KonaTel stated, "For the second quarter, our gross profit increased, and our operating and net losses narrowed despite lower revenue. Lower delivery and lower operating costs, as well as the addition of higher ARPU activations in our Mobile Services segment, are the primary factors driving the improvement in profitability. Demand for our government subsidized services remains robust, and the investments we have made in infrastructure in recent quarters will enable us to scale our business at a pace that is both manageable and sustainable over the long term."

McEwen continued, "Our infrastructure improvements are largely complete and customer acquisition is accelerating with second quarter subscriber activations up 50% versus the previous first quarter. We are positioned to support a significantly larger customer base. We continue to believe that the economics of our business model are highly attractive and will yield sustainable profitability and positive cash from operations as our customer base grows. At the core of our business, we have an economic engine that is self-sustaining and scalable, regardless of fluctuations in macroeconomic conditions."

Quarterly Financial Summary (Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022)

Revenue of $4.6 million, a decrease of 10.2% compared to $5.1 million for reasons discussed above. This decrease in revenue was primarily related to a larger volume of lower ARPU online activations received during Q2 2022. Activations have continued to increase in Q2 2023 as we relocate distribution partners to higher margin areas within our Mobile Services segment.

Gross profit was $774,000, or 16.8% gross profit margin, compared to $443,000, or 8.6% gross profit margin. This increase is directly related to adding higher ARPU activations in our Mobile Services segment, in addition to having lower sales acquisitions costs to acquire these new customers.

Total operating expenses were $1.78 million, compared to $1.82 million. This minor decrease was primarily due to lower administrative expenses, although we incurred higher legal costs associated with the expansion of service coverage in our existing ETC footprint.

GAAP net loss was $(1.2) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share (based on 42.5 million weighted average shares), compared to a net loss of $(1.5) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share (based on 41.6 million weighted average shares). This decrease was the result of higher activations impacted by lower revenue and increased customer acquisition costs directly related to higher activations within the Mobile Services segment. Customer acquisition costs may not be amortized over the life of the customer and are recorded in full at the time of customer activation.

Non-GAAP net loss was $(900,000), or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to Non-GAAP net loss of $(1.2) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share.

Balance Sheet

The Company ended the quarter with $1.1 million in cash, compared to $2.1 million on December 31, 2022.

Year-to-Date Financial Detail (First Six Months of 2023 vs. First Six Months of 2022)

Revenues decreased 7.7% to $8.6 million compared to $9.4 million, reflecting a 12.6% decrease in Hosted Services revenues and a 5.5% decrease in Mobile Services revenues.

Gross profit was $1.8 million, or 20.6% gross profit margin, compared to gross profit of $2.1 million, or 22.3% gross profit margin. The decline in gross profit is directly related to up-front costs incurred by accelerating growth to acquire new customers within our Mobile Services segment.

Total operating expenses were $3.5 million, up 1.6% compared to $3.4 million. This increase was due primarily to higher legal costs associated with the expansion of service coverage in our existing ETC footprint to broaden our wireless subscriber coverage range.

GAAP net loss was $(2.1) million, or $(0.05) per diluted share (based on 42.5 million weighted average shares), compared to net loss of $(1.5) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share (based on 41.6 million weighted average shares).

Non-GAAP net loss was $(1.5) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $(1.1) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share.
