Oblong Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter 2024 and Provides Business Update

Oblong, Inc. (Nasdaq: OBLG) (“Oblong” or the “Company”), an innovator in collaboration solutions, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and provided updates on the Company’s business and strategy.

"As of September 30, 2024, our financial footing remains strong, with $5.6 million in cash and zero debt. We further boosted liquidity in October with an additional $231,000 from common stock warrant exercises and streamlined operations to increase efficiency, resulting in expected annual savings of $1.2 million. With this solid financial position, we believe we’re on track to maintain momentum into mid-2026. In September 2024, we proudly regained full compliance with Nasdaq's listing standards. Our focus is now on identifying impactful growth avenues, including mergers and acquisitions, to fuel a new phase of expansion. We're exploring a range of strategic possibilities—from potential business combinations and reverse mergers to a potential sale of certain assets to further expand liquidity and narrow our operating focus. Each pathway is being evaluated to maximize sustainable growth and unlock new value for our stakeholders," said Peter Holst, CEO of Oblong.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

  • As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $5.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and no debt.
  • The Company received net cash proceeds of $0.7 million during the third quarter of 2024 from the exercise of common warrants.
  • Total revenue was $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2024 versus $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2023.
  • Net loss was $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) loss was $1.0 million for the third of 2024 compared to $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2023. AEBITDA loss is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for additional information regarding this non-GAAP financial measure, and “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net loss.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) loss, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net loss before amortization, stock-based compensation and expense, severance, impairment charges, casualty gain (insurance proceeds), income tax expense, and interest income, net. AEBITDA loss is not intended to replace operating loss, net loss, cash flow or other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Rather, AEBITDA loss is an important measure used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company and to compare such performance between periods. AEBITDA loss as defined here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in accounting policies. Therefore, AEBITDA loss should be considered in conjunction with net loss and other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating loss or cash flow used in operating activities, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures, such as net loss, operating loss or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance. A GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation of net loss to AEBITDA loss is shown under “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” later in this release.
