NOTE 1—The Company and Its Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business—Sonim Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 5, 1999, and is headquartered in San Diego, California. The Company offers a robust portfolio that includes rugged handsets, smartphones, wireless internet devices, software, services, and accessories. These products are engineered to deliver reliable communication in challenging and unpredictable environments, serving sectors such as critical communications, first responders, government, industrial, construction, hospitality, and logistics. The Company distributes its products primarily through major wireless carriers. The Company currently has products available at all three U.S. Tier-one carriers – AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon as well as the three primary carriers in Canada – Bell, Telus and Rogers, Telstra in Australia, and multiple carriers throughout Europe. These carriers resell the Company’s products, along with network services, to end customers focusing on two primary end markets: industrial enterprise and the public sector.

 

The Company is executing a strategic expansion initiative, focusing on broadening its market reach with new products, geographical footprint, and customer segments including enterprise, small and medium business, and prosumers. This strategy is underpinned by a strong emphasis on execution. The Company has introduced new product categories: Connected Solutions featuring wireless internet products, a next-generation rugged smartphone, and a new range of mid and low-tier professional rugged phones, all boasting IP ratings, MIL-STD-810H standards, and elements of Sonim’s Rugged Performance Standards (“RPS”), highlighting the Company’s value proposition to target markets.

 

During the second half of 2024 and through the filing date of this report, the Company launched the following products:

 

  Sonim H500-series of 5G mobile hotspots available through Verizon, UScellular, and Bell in North America;
     
  Sonim H700, the world’s first 5G Release 17 and Wi-Fi 7 rugged mobile hotspot, available through Telstra in Australia;
     
  Sonim H100 4G mobile hotspot available through Telia Finland and distribution partners in Europe;
     
  XP100 4G and XP400 5G professional rugged phones available through Deutsche Telekom in Germany and distribution partners in Europe and South Africa;
     
  XP Pro 5G rugged smartphone available through Verizon in the United States; and
     
  XP3plus 5G rugged flip phone available through T-Mobile and certified for T-Priority.

 

Additionally, the XP10 is now available through the Company’s distribution partners in EMEA and Australia. Most of these products are supported by the SonimWare platform and enterprise services. In the first quarter of 2025, the XP Pro 5G and H500 5G each received Verizon Frontline certification. In the first quarter of 2025 we also announced the upcoming launch and availability of the XP Pro Thermal 5G smartphone for Europe which includes an SDK-enabled Sonim IRIS software for custom application development and an integrated thermal camera by FLIR® that benefits a number of vertical trades such as electricians, plumbers, public safety, construction, agriculture, amongst others.

 

A significant revenue driver in 2023 was a tablet developed under Sonim’s original design manufacturer (“ODM”) model, emphasizing high-volume and low-margin production tailored to a specific customer’s needs. Tablet sales concluded in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to its life cycle end. The ODM model was also applied late in the fourth quarter of 2023 for a range of low-priced smartphones with sales ending in the first quarter of 2024. The ODM model does not represent the Company’s core business strategy.

 

Liquidity and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern—The Company’s consolidated financial statements account for the continuation of its business as a going concern. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the development and release of new products. The Company had a working capital deficit of $11,575 at December 31, 2024. Approximately $5,000 of the accrued liabilities at December 31, 2024 are customer allowances that will be written off in 2025 without being paid in cash (see Note 14). The Company has existing cash and cash equivalents totaling $5,343 and subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Company has received approximately $3,715 in proceeds from stock sales through the At-The-Market (“ATM”) program and $3,000 in proceeds from the issuance of new debt. With its cash, ATM stock sales, and proceeds from debt issuance, the Company believes that it can meet its obligations over the next twelve months following the filing date of this report.

 

The Company also has up to $2,500 available from an accounts receivable financing program that can be used for future borrowings, which gives the Company additional flexibility to meet its obligations over the next year.

 

 

Reverse Stock Split—On July 17, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis on July 18, 2024. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each share of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to July 17, 2024, was automatically converted into one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split affected all common stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share instead were entitled to receive one whole share in lieu of such fractional share.

 

The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the common stock or the authorized number of shares of common stock. All outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants entitling their holders to purchase or obtain or convert into shares of our common stock were adjusted, as required by the terms of these securities.

 

The Company’s stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, remained unchanged following the Reverse Stock Split. Net income (loss) per share increased because there were fewer shares of common stock outstanding. There were no other accounting consequences, including changes to the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in any period, that arose as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

All common share and per-share amounts in this Form 10-K have been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Financial Statement Presentation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for annual financial information.

 

Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sonim Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned foreign subsidiaries, Sonim Technologies (India) Private Limited, Sonim Technologies (Shenzhen) Limited, Sonim Technologies Shenzhen Limited Beijing Branch, Sonim Technologies (Hong Kong) Limited, Sonim Technologies Germany GmbH and Sonim Communications India Private Limited (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Reclassifications—Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

 

Related Party Transactions—Effective December 15, 2023, in the ordinary course of business, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company would execute various statements of work and sell white label products under the ODM model arrangement with a related party, in which a family member of the Company’s director, Jeffrey Wang, holds an indirect interest of approximately 40% (the “ODM Arrangement”). Pursuant to the ODM Arrangement, the Company consummated various transactions during the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

On October 1, 2024, the Company signed an agreement with a related party, in which a family member of the Company’s director, Jeffrey Wang, holds an indirect interest of approximately 40%, to perform non-recurring engineering services in the amount of $1,000, which were capitalized as contract fulfillment assets. The agreement was executed in the ordinary course of business.

 

Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates related to revenue recognition; valuation assumptions regarding the determination of the fair value of common stock, as well as stock options; the useful lives of the Company’s long-lived assets; product warranties; loss contingencies; the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities, including uncertain tax positions; the net realizable value of inventory; and allowances for credit losses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require it to update its estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities.

 

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk—The Company’s product revenues are concentrated in the technology industry, which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological changes in the industry or customer requirements, or the emergence of competitive products with new capabilities or technologies, could adversely affect the Company’s consolidated operating results.

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high-quality, federally insured commercial banks in the United States and cash balances are in excess of federal insurance limits as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

The Company generally does not require collateral or other security in support of accounts receivable. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition.

 

Segment Information—The Company operates in one reporting segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, who is the chief executive officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the consolidated level. See Note 12.

 

Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity from the date of purchase of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposited with banks and money market funds. Included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are amounts held by foreign subsidiaries. The Company had $1,695 and $1,131 of foreign cash and cash equivalents included in the Company’s cash positions on December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses—Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from customers in the course of normal business activities. Collateral on trade accounts receivable is generally not required. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and primarily resulted in new disclosures. Under this guidance, the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is based on the Company’s assessment of the economic health of its customers and its history of credit losses. Accounts are written off against the allowance account when they are determined to be no longer collectible.

 

Receivables Financing Agreement—On September 23, 2024, the Company entered into an invoice purchase agreement (the “Receivables Financing Agreement”) with LS DE LLC (“LS”), pursuant to which LS will provide receivables factoring to the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement, LS will advance 80% of the face value of the receivables being sold by the Company, up to a maximum of $2,500 of eligible customer invoices from the Company. In consideration of the advances, LS is entitled to receive (i) an invoice purchase fee equal to 0.20% of the face amount of each purchased invoice payable at the time of the purchase and (ii) a daily funds usage fee equal to 0.0388%, payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month. Under the agreement, the Company must repurchase any invoices that LS deems to be uncollectible or no longer qualify as an Eligible Account, as defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement. The Company is accounting for this transaction as a secured borrowing and recognizes a factoring liability for any advances until the accounts receivables are collected. As of December 31, 2024, there was $591 outstanding under the Receivables Financing Agreement, which is included in Accrued Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Receivables Financing Agreement has an initial term of twelve months, subject to automatic annual extension unless terminated. Additionally, under certain circumstances and unless waived by LS, the Company will be obligated to pay a missing notation fee of 15% in the event of its failure to affix a certain legend regarding assignment or a misdirected payment fee in the amount of 15%. In the event of the Company’s default, the Company’s payment obligations will be accelerated, and, in addition to the aforementioned fees payable to LS, the Company will be required to pay the default interest rate of the lesser of 24% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law until the default is cured or until all Company’s obligations are paid in full.

 

The Company’s obligations under the Receivables Financing Agreement are secured by a lien on all of the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory, and related property, excluding accounts receivable from certain specified counterparties.

 

 

The Receivables Financing Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Company and LS, certain indemnification provisions in favor of LS and customary covenants (including limitations on other debt, liens, acquisitions, investments and dividends), and events of default (including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, a material impairment in LS’s security interest or in the collateral, and events relating to bankruptcy or insolvency). The Receivables Financing Agreement can be terminated by either party upon written notice or by LS upon the occurrence of certain events including the Company’s default.

 

Inventory—The Company reports inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using a first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) and includes the cost of inventory, materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.

 

The Company periodically reviews its inventory for potential slow-moving or obsolete items and writes down specific items to net realizable value, as appropriate. The Company writes down inventory based on forecasted demand and technological obsolescence. These factors are impacted by market and economic conditions, technology changes, new product introductions, and changes in strategic direction, and require estimates that may include uncertain elements. Actual demand may differ from forecasted demand and such differences may have a material effect on recorded inventory values. Any write-down of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value creates a new cost basis that subsequently would not be marked up based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances.

 

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally 24 to 36 months. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Leases—The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or finance leases and, if significant, are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as both a right of use asset and a lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset results in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred. In calculating the right of use assets and lease liabilities, the Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the new guidance as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

In connection with leases, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $330 and $266, respectively, of rent expense. The Company does not have any lease extension or termination options on any lease. There are no residual value guarantees in any lease. The weighted average remaining lease term of the operating leases is approximately 1.2 years and 0.2 years for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The weighted average of the discount rate for each lease as of December 31, 2023 was 8.5%, respectively.

 

Non-recurring Engineering (“NRE”) Tooling and Purchased Software Licenses—Third-party design services relating to the design of tooling materials and purchased software licenses used in the manufacturing process are capitalized and included in Other Assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, amortization of NRE tooling and NRE software costs approximating $13 and $12 were charged to cost of revenues. The related net book value is $500 and $110, respectively, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

 

Long-lived Assets—The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Aside from the impairment of contract fulfillment assets (see Note 2), no other impairments have been identified to date.

 

Revenue Recognition—The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

 

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the sale of products, including its mobile phones, tablets, hotspots, and accessories. The Company also recognizes revenue from other contractual arrangements that may include a combination of products and NRE services or from the provision of solely NRE services.

 

Revenue recognition incorporates discounts, price protection and customer incentives. In addition to cooperative marketing and other incentive programs, the Company has arrangements with some distributors, which allow for price protection and limited rights of return, generally through stock rotation programs. Under the price protection programs, the Company gives distributors credits for the difference between the original price paid and the Company’s then current price. Under the stock rotation programs, certain distributors are able to exchange certain products based on the number of qualified purchases made during the period.

 

The Company’s handsets typically require a technical approval process. This process entails design and configuration activities required to conform the Company’s devices to a wireless carrier customer’s specific network requirements. Each wireless carrier defines its own specific functional requirements and certification process in order for the product to be ready for manufacture. While the technical approval process does involve some level of customization, in addition to design and configuration, the Company does not charge separately and is not reimbursed for these activities to the extent that they do not involve significant customization and does not incur these costs in advance of entering into binding agreements with its wireless carrier customers. Such technical approval is obtained prior to shipment. Revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for its arrangements, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Cost of Revenues—Cost of revenues includes direct and indirect costs associated with the manufacture of the Company’s products as well as with the performance of NRE services in connection with significant design modification and customization. Direct costs include the cost of inventory, shipping, royalties, warranty accruals, depreciation and amortization, supply chain costs, and logistic costs.

 

Advertising—The Company expenses the costs of advertising, including promotional expenses, as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company had no advertising expenses.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs—When the Company bills customers for shipping and handling it includes such amounts as part of Total Net Revenues. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded in cost of revenues.

 

Deferred Revenues—Deferred revenues represent the amount that is allocated to undelivered elements in multiple element arrangements. The Company limits the revenue recognized to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services or meeting other specified performance conditions.

 

Research and Development—Research and development expenses consist of compensation costs, employee benefits, development fees paid to ODM partners, research supplies, allocated facility related expenses and allocated depreciation and amortization. Research and development expenses include costs incurred for the design and configuration activities of new products to conform to the specific functional requirements of the Company’s wireless carrier customers necessary to prepare the product for manufacture. The Company determined that the NRE technical approval costs and the NRE field test costs are contract fulfillment costs and recognizes the associated NRE asset as these costs are incurred. The Company tracks the NRE assets by product and customer, then amortizes the NRE assets to cost of revenues over a period of three or four years, which is management’s estimated product life for each model phone or connected device, starting from the date of the first significant sales.

 

 

Stock-Based Compensation—The Company measures equity classified stock-based awards granted to employees, nonemployee directors, and consultants based on the estimated fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense of those awards, net of actual forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. For awards subject to performance conditions, the Company evaluates the probability of achieving each performance condition at each reporting date and begins to recognize expense over the requisite service period when it is deemed probable that a performance condition will be met using the accelerated attribution method. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is described more fully in Note 8. The fair value of each restricted stock award is measured as the fair value per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

 

Warranty—The Company provides standard warranty coverage on its accessories, connected devices, and handsets for one, two or three years, providing labor and parts necessary to repair the item during the warranty period. The warranty coverage is an assurance type warranty and thus is not a separate performance obligation. The Company accounts for the estimated warranty cost as a charge to cost of revenues when revenue is recognized. The estimated warranty cost is based on historical product performance and field expenses.

 

Utilizing actual service records, the Company calculates the average service hours and parts expense per device to determine the estimated warranty charge. The Company updates these estimated charges periodically. The actual product performance and/or field expense profiles may differ, and in those cases the Company adjusts warranty accruals accordingly.

 

From time to time, the Company ships mobile devices to its customers as seed stock. The seed stock represents extra units of mobile devices beyond the original mobile devices ordered by the customer and are primarily used to facilitate warranty coverage of mobile devices received by the Company’s customers from their direct customers.

 

The warranty liability account balance is based on management’s estimates of the lifetime return rate for each model and the cost to repair each returned model. These assumptions are based on historical rates for similar products and on actual return rates. If the estimated cost to repair each unit increased by 10%, then the warranty liability balance would be $69 higher at December 31, 2024. If the lifetime return rate was increased by 10%, then the warranty liability balance would be $69 higher at December 31, 2024. The cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 would increase by the same amount as an increase in the warranty liability. Decreases to these rates of 10% will reduce the warranty liability by the same amount.

 

Comprehensive Income or Loss—The Company had no items of comprehensive income or loss other than net loss for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive loss has not been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Foreign currency translation—The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency for its significant subsidiaries. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the end-of-period exchange rates except for property and equipment, and related depreciation and amortization, which are translated at the historical exchange rates. Expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during each period. Foreign assets held directly by the Company include certain accounts receivable balances and bank accounts which are translated in the U.S. dollar at the end-of-period exchange rates. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had approximately $434 and $235, respectively, in net foreign currency transactions losses, which are included in Other Expense, Net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Sales taxes—Sales and value added taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and not included in revenue.

 

Income taxes—The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

 

Compliance with income tax regulations requires the Company to make decisions relating to the transfer pricing of revenue and expenses between each of its legal entities that are located in several countries. The Company’s determinations include many decisions based on management’s knowledge of the underlying assets of the business, the legal ownership of these assets, and the ultimate transactions conducted with customers and other third parties. The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in multiple tax jurisdictions. The Company may be periodically reviewed by domestic and foreign tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due. These reviews may include questions regarding the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposure associated with various filing positions, the Company records estimated reserves when it is more likely than not that an uncertain tax position will not be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. Such estimates are subject to change. See Note 9.

 

Net Loss per Share—Net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, for purposes of the calculation of diluted net loss per share, warrants to purchase stock, unvested restricted stock units and stock options to purchase common stock are considered potentially dilutive securities but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is antidilutive. As a result, diluted net loss per share is the same as the basic net loss per share for the periods presented.
