Company Completes $30 Million Cost Reduction Program On Track to Achieve Run Rate Cash Flow Neutrality Exiting 2025

SmartRent, Inc. (NYSE: SMRT) (“SmartRent” or the “Company”), a leading provider of smart communities solutions and smart operations solutions for the rental housing industry, today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights:

• Revenue of $36.2 million, 11% lower than the prior year, primarily due to bulk hardware sales during the prior year period that have no current year counterpart.
• Annual Recurring Revenue increased 7% to $56.9 million, now representing 39% of total revenue.
• Net loss improved by $3.6 million to $(6.3) million, and Adjusted EBITDA improved by $0.9 million to $(2.9) million, primarily due to the Company's cost reduction program.
• Net loss improved by $4.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA improved by $4.4 million when compared to the second quarter of 2025.
• Company significantly reduced cash burn rate and maintains strong liquidity position including $100 million in cash and an undrawn credit facility of $75 million.

"The third quarter was a period of substantial progress for SmartRent on many fronts. We continued to grow our Annual Recurring Revenue and significantly narrowed our operating loss in line with the commitments made on the previous earnings call. Importantly, we continued to expand our deployed base which now includes more than 870,000 units, up 11% from the prior year," commented Frank Martell, President and CEO of SmartRent. "As we look forward to the balance of this year and into 2026, we expect to continue to significantly expand our installed base as we capitalize on the investments we are making in our sales organization, as well as expanding platform capabilities and leveraging AI to deliver even greater ROI to property owners and operators."

"During the third quarter, we completed the actions necessary to reset our cost structure and deliver at least $30 million of annualized expense reductions. We believe this will result in Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow neutrality on a run rate basis exiting 2025. We exited the third quarter with $100 million in cash, no debt and a $75 million undrawn credit facility. We expect to end the year with a strong liquidity position and the resulting flexibility to drive profitable growth and build long-term operating leverage," said Daryl Stemm, Chief Financial Officer.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

Total revenue for the quarter was $36.2 million, an 11% decrease from the prior year quarter. This decline primarily reflects the Company's strategic move away from bulk hardware sales not aligned with customer implementation timelines, in favor of a more sustainable, SaaS-focused revenue mix. Hosted services revenue, which includes $14.2 million of SaaS revenue, was $17.7 million for the quarter, a 5% decrease from $18.5 million in the prior year quarter. Hardware revenue was $11.5 million, a decrease of $7.2 million or 38% from the prior year, reflecting the strategic move away from bulk hardware sales discussed previously. Professional services revenue was $7.0 million, an increase from $3.3 million, or 113% from the prior year quarter.

The Company delivered a 7% year-over-year increase in SaaS revenue in the third quarter, primarily driven by an increase in Units Deployed. SaaS revenue represented more than 39% of the Company's total third quarter revenue in 2025, up from 33% in the prior year.

As of September 30, 2025, Units Deployed reached 870,230, an 11% increase with 83,192 more units compared to September 30, 2024, reflecting continued expansion of our installed base. The Company had 22,644 New Units Deployed during the quarter, a 49% increase from 15,168 New Units Deployed in the prior year quarter, reflecting stronger customer adoption. Units Booked totaled 22,080, representing a 30% increase, driven by ongoing investments in the Company's sales organization.

In the third quarter of 2025, operating expenses declined to $16.6 million, an $8.6 million, or 34% decrease, from the prior year.

In the third quarter, total gross margin decreased to 26.4% from 33.2% in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by reduced hardware margins. Total gross profit in the third quarter was $9.6 million compared with $13.5 million in the prior year quarter. Hardware gross profit was $(2.3) million, a decrease of $7.2 million, from $4.9 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting lower shipment volume due to our shift from hardware bulk sales to recurring revenue, changes in product mix and non-recurring inventory charges related to our decision to sunset our parking management solutions and focus on our core IoT and Smart Operations solutions. Professional services gross profit in the third quarter improved to $0.2 million from a loss of $3.5 million in prior year quarter, primarily driven by increased operational efficiencies and improved ARPU. Hosted services gross profit decreased to $11.7 million from $12.1 million in the prior year quarter, primarily resulting from lower hub amortization revenue and gross profit.

Net losses improved by $3.6 million to $(6.3) million, and Adjusted EBITDA improved by $0.9 million to $(2.9) million in the third quarter. When compared sequentially, net losses improved by a total of $4.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA improved by $4.4 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, SmartRent also discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. These financial measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

All historic non-GAAP financial measures have been reconciled with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures - these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to supersede or replace our GAAP results.

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP before interest income, net, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before expenses related to non-recurring legal matters, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of investment in non-affiliate, goodwill impairment, inventory write-offs, non-recurring warranty provisions, other acquisition expenses, and other expenses caused by non-recurring, or unusual, events that are not indicative of our ongoing business.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be determined or calculated differently by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not used as measures of SmartRent’s liquidity and should not be considered alternatives to net income or loss or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

SmartRent’s management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in a number of ways to assess the Company’s financial and operating performance and believes that these measures provide useful information to investors regarding financial and business trends related to SmartRent’s results of operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used to identify certain expenses and make decisions designed to help SmartRent meet its identified financial and operational goals and to optimize its financial performance, while neutralizing the impact of some expenses included in our operating results which could otherwise mask underlying trends in its business. SmartRent’s management believes that investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of SmartRent’s ongoing operating performance when non-GAAP financial information is viewed with GAAP financial information.

Financial and Operating Metrics Defined

SmartRent regularly monitors several financial and operating metrics including the following which the Company believes are key measures of its growth, to evaluate its operating performance, identify trends affecting its business, formulate business plans, measure its progress, and make strategic decisions. These metrics may not provide accurate predictions of future GAAP financial results.

Units Deployed is defined as the aggregate number of Hub Devices that have been installed (including customer self-installations) and have an active subscription as of a stated measurement date.

New Units Deployed is defined as the aggregate number of Hub Devices that were installed (including customer self-installations) and resulted in a new active subscription during a stated measurement period.

Units Shipped is defined as the aggregate number of Hub Devices that have been shipped to customers during a stated measurement period.

Units Booked is defined as the aggregate number of Hub Device units subject to binding orders executed during a stated measurement period that are expected to result in a New Unit Deployed. The Company utilizes the concept of Units Booked to measure estimated near-term resource demand and the resulting approximate range of post-delivery revenue that it will earn and record. Units Booked represent binding orders only.

Bookings represent the contract value of hardware, professional services, and the first year of ARR for binding orders executed during a stated measurement period, including renewals and upgrades.

Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) is defined as the annualized value of our SaaS Revenue earned in the current quarter, which we calculate by taking the total amount of SaaS Revenue in the current quarter and multiplying that amount by four.

SaaS Revenue is defined as monthly subscription revenue from fees paid by customers for access to one or more of SmartRent's software applications, including access controls, asset monitoring and related services, and our Community WiFi solution.

Average Revenue per Unit (“ARPU”) is used to assess the growth and health of the overall business and reflects our ability to acquire, retain, engage and monetize our customers, and thereby drive revenue. Each revenue stream ARPU is calculated as follows:

Hardware ARPU is total hardware revenue during a given period divided by the total Units Shipped during the same period.

Professional Services ARPU is total professional services revenue during a given period divided by the total New Units Deployed, excluding customer self-installations, during the same period.

SaaS ARPU is total SaaS Revenue during a given period divided by the average aggregate Units Deployed in the same period divided by the number of months in the period.

Units Booked SaaS ARPU is the first year ARR for binding orders with Units Booked executed during the stated measurement period divided by the total Units Booked in the same period divided by the number of months in the period.

Property Net Revenue Retention is defined as SaaS Revenue at the end of the current period related to properties which had SaaS Revenue at the end of the same period in the prior year, divided by SaaS Revenue at the end of the same period in the prior year for those same properties. Property Net Revenue Retention includes additions to revenue from price increases on existing products, additions of new products at existing properties and transfers of ownership, offset by any reductions in revenue caused by cancellations or downgrades.

Customer Net Revenue Retention is defined as SaaS Revenue at the end of the current period related to customers which had SaaS Revenue at the end of the same period in the prior year, divided by SaaS Revenue at the end of the same period in the prior year for those same customers. A customer with SaaS Revenue is defined as an entity that has an active subscription during the stated period. Customer Net Revenue Retention includes additions to revenue from transfers of ownership, price increases on existing products and additions of new products at existing properties, offset by any reductions in revenue caused by cancellations or downgrades.

Customer Churn is defined as cancelled deployed units during the measurement period divided by Units Deployed as of the beginning of the measurement period.
