Guerrilla RF Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results and Gross Margin Expansion

GREENSBORO, N.C. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 14, 2024 — Guerrilla RF, Inc. (OTCQX: GUER), a leading provider of state-of-the-art RF and microwave semiconductors, today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“We continued to execute on our growth plans during the quarter by releasing new products into production. We released five new GaN products and four other products into production during Q3 2024, as the total number of new products released during 2024 increased to 23. This compares favorably to the total of new products we released in the 2023 (12) and the 2022 (18) calendar years. By releasing an increasing number of products already this year, we believe we are laying the foundation for sustained revenue growth,” said Ryan Pratt, Founder and CEO. “Guerrilla RF also received the Electronic Industry Awards’ “Highly Commended” award, recognizing four of our parts for exceptional performance in the Automotive Product of the Year category.

“Additionally, we achieved record revenue of $4.5 million compared with previous third quarters, which are historically our softest quarters, while further improving our gross profit margin and maintaining cost discipline. Strong 5G deliveries more than compensated for soft order flow from our Automotive customers,” added Pratt. “Looking ahead, based on our year-to-date revenue of $15.7 million, we expect to generate 2024 revenue at the lower end of our guidance range of $20.0 million to $25.0 million. As we continue to invest heavily in R&D to position the Company for accelerated revenue growth, we also expect quarterly Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) to hold steady for the next few quarters at around a $1.8 million loss, the amount we generated for the third quarter 2024.”

Backlog, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

References to “product backlog” means the amount of product sales that have been committed to by customers, but have not yet been completed, shipped, or invoiced. The Company's product backlog can be materially impacted by supply chain constraints, a shift in customer ordering patterns whereby customers place orders in anticipation of extended product delivery lead times, or other customer order delivery request modifications. Furthermore, because the Company partners closely with a number of its customers to produce high-performance, quality components that are often designed into customers’ end products, immediate substitution of the Company’s products is neither typically desired by customers nor necessarily feasible. As such, the Company has not historically experienced significant order cancellations, and the Company does not expect significant order cancellations in the future. The Company closely monitors product backlog and its potential impact on the Company’s financial performance.

References to “EBITDA” mean net loss, before considering interest income and expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. References to “Adjusted EBITDA” excludes irregular or non-recurring items and are not directly related to the Company’s core operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to operating profit, net income and other U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s results because they exclude certain items that may, or could, have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on our results for any particular period. Investors should recognize that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of non-U.S. GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure in accordance with SEC Regulation G follows:
