NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(In Thousands, except Share and Per Share Amounts)

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 specializes in rugged and durable mobile devices, catering to users who require extra resilience in their professional and personal lives. Initially focusing on handsets and accessories for the enterprise, first responder, and government sectors, Sonim has broadened its offerings to include connected devices for wireless internet access like mobile hotspots.

In 2023, the Company announced an expanded portfolio which includes next-generation ultra-rugged 5G feature phones, a next-generation rugged smartphone, a consumer durable smartphone, and a connected solutions portfolio of wireless internet solutions, including wireless modems, mobile hotspots and fixed wireless access routers. As of the filing date of this report, Sonim has received thirteen carrier awards for the new portfolio of products: five awards for two models of mobile hotspots and eight awards for three new phones—a next-generation rugged smartphone, a next-generation rugged feature phone, and a consumer durable smartphone. Each of these products is expected to launch with tier-one carriers in the U.S., Canada, and Australia beginning in the second half of 2024.

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. Although the tablet sales concluded in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to its life cycle end, the ODM model was also applied in early 2024 for a range of low-priced smartphones with sales expected to cease after the first quarter of 2024. The ODM model does not represent the Company’s core business strategy, due to fluctuating sales cycles, as is common with ODM business.

Liquidity and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The Company’s condensed 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’s principal sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2024, consist of existing cash and cash equivalents totaling $9,252. The Company raised $3,850 on April 29, 2024, through the sale of stock. See Note 11 for additional details. The Company believes that it can meet its obligations with this cash over the next twelve months following the filing date of this report.

Basis of presentation and preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sonim Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Sonim” or the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Prior period reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

New accounting pronouncements

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Pronouncements adopted in 2024

None.

Pronouncements not yet adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU was issued to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This guidance applies to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with Topic 280, Segment Reporting. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the guidance should be applied retrospectively. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for the Company for the annual period of its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU was issued to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosure primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information, and to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This guidance is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the sale of products, which are primarily mobile phones, tablets, and related accessories, and the majority of the Company’s contracts include only one performance obligation, namely the delivery of product. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is defined as the unit of account for revenue recognition under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company also recognizes revenue from other contracts that may include a combination of products and non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services or from the provision of solely NRE services. Where there is a combination of products and NRE services, the Company accounts for the promises as individual performance obligations if they are concluded as distinct. Performance obligations are considered distinct if they are both capable of being identified and distinct within the context of the contract. In determining whether performance obligations meet the criteria for being distinct, the Company considers a number of factors, such as the degree of interrelation and interdependence between obligations, and whether or not the good or service significantly modifies or transforms another good or service in the contract. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company did not have any contracts in which the products and NRE services were concluded to be a single performance obligation. In certain cases, the Company may offer tiered pricing based on volumes purchased for specific products. To date, all tiered pricing provisions have fallen into observable ranges of pricing to existing customers, thus, not resulting in any material right which could be concluded as its own performance obligation. In addition, the Company does not offer material post-contract support services to its customers.

Net revenue for an individual contract is recognized at the related transaction price, which is the amount the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the goods and/or services. The transaction price for product sales is calculated as the product selling price, net of variable consideration, which may include estimates for marketing development funds, sales incentives, and price protection and stock rotation rights. The Company records reductions to net revenues related to future product returns based on the Company’s expectations and historical experience. Typically, variable consideration does not need to be constrained as estimates are based on specific contract terms. However, the Company continues to assess variable consideration estimates such that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The transaction price for a contract with multiple performance obligations is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices for products are determined based on the prices charged to customers, which are directly observable. Standalone selling price of the professional services are mostly based on time and materials. The Company determines its estimates of variable consideration based on historical collection experience with similar payor classes, aged accounts receivable by payor class, terms of payment agreements, correspondence from payors related to revenue audits or reviews, the Company’s historical settlement activity of audited and reviewed claims and current economic conditions using the portfolio approach. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognized will not occur in future periods.

Revenue is then recognized for each distinct performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. Revenue attributable to hardware is recognized at the time control of the product transfers to the customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products or services are transferred to its customers. For most of the Company’s revenue attributable to hardware, control transfers when products are shipped. Revenue attributable to professional services is recognized as the Company performs the professional services for the customer.

Disaggregation of revenue

The following table presents the Company’s net revenue disaggregated by product category:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2024		2023
Smartphones	$	5,581	$	6,489
Feature Phones		3,348		3,848
White Label Phones and Tablets (ODM Model)		7,658		15,257
Accessories and Other		188		207
Total net revenues	$	16,776	$	25,801

Shipping and handling costs

The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products.

Contract costs

Applying the practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred when the amortization period of the assets that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in sales and marketing expenses.

The non-recurring costs associated with design and development of new products for technical approval represent costs to fulfill a contract pursuant to ASC 340-40 Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Accordingly, the Company capitalizes these contract fulfillment costs and amortizes such costs over the estimated period of time over which they are expected to be recovered, which is typically four years, the estimated life of a particular model phone. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the net contract fulfillment assets were $9,611 and $9,232, respectively.

Contract balances

The Company records accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to consideration. Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and deferred revenue, where the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations. Contract liabilities are presented as a component of deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the contract liabilities were $12 and $12, respectively.

NOTE 3 — Fair Value Measurement

The fair value measurements standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the standard are described below:

Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

	●	Quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

	●	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

	●	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

	●	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The assets or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

Money market funds are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The following tables sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets at fair value:

NOTE 4 — Significant Balance Sheet Components

The following table presents the components of the Company’s receivables:

Schedule of Accounts Receivable

	March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023
Trade receivables	$	13,609		$	25,576
Allowance for credit losses		(272	)		(272	)
Accounts receivable, net		13,337			25,304
Non-trade receivables		564			961
Total accounts receivable	$	13,901		$	26,265

The Company has non-trade receivables from a manufacturing vendor resulting from the sale of components to this vendor who manufactures and assembles final products for the Company.

The Company determines the probability of default for each pool of receivables with similar risk characteristics. The probability of loss is applied to the value of the receivables and an allowance for potential credit losses is recorded with the offset to credit loss expense.

Trade receivables from the customer that purchased white label tablets from the Company accounts for 31% and 69%, respectively, of accounts receivable, net, at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. One additional customer that purchases white label phones from the Company accounts for 44% of accounts receivable, net, at March 31, 2024 and a separate customer accounts for 15% of accounts receivable, net, at December 31, 2023. In October 2023, the Company stopped sales of the white label tablets to its tablet customer as the product reached the end of its life cycle. The tablet customer had a receivable due to the Company of $17,443 at December 31, 2023. In February 2024, an agreement was executed that transferred $11,308 of the receivables to the manufacturer of the tablets in exchange for relieving the Company of a $11,308 accounts payable liability.

As of March 31, 2024, there was approximately $283 of unamortized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.85 years.

NOTE 7 — Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded provisions for income taxes of $125 and $113, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate is negative 4.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 32.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of projected permanent items in the U.S.

The Company’s material income tax jurisdictions are the United States (federal and California), China and India. As a result of net operating loss and credit carryforwards, the Company is subject to audit for tax years 2012 and forward for federal and California purposes. The China and India tax years are open under the statute of limitations from 2013 and forward.

The Company is subject to ongoing tax examinations of its tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities in various jurisdictions. In accordance with the guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. These assessments can require considerable estimates and judgments. As of March 31, 2024, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $1.3 million. If the Company’s estimates of income tax liabilities prove to be less than the ultimate assessment, then a further charge to expense would be required. If events occur and the payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period in which we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. The Company does not anticipate any material changes to its uncertain tax positions during the next twelve months.

NOTE 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments — The aggregate amount of noncancelable purchase orders as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, was approximately $12,353 and $13,478, respectively, and were related to the purchase of inventory and components for the Company’s devices, and certification services.

Cost of Sales

Royalty payments — The Company is required to pay per unit royalties to wireless essential patent holders and other providers of integrated technologies on mobile devices delivered, which, in aggregate, amount to less than 5% of net revenues associated with each unit and expire between 2024 and 2033. Royalty expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 was $230 and $184, respectively, and is included in Cost of Revenues. The Company may be required to pay additional royalties to additional patent holder and technology providers on future products.

General litigation — The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these other matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Minimum

The results of any future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and, regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management time and resources and other factors.

Indemnification — Under the terms of its agreements with wireless carriers and other partners, the Company has agreed to provide indemnification for intellectual property infringement claims related to the Company’s products sold by them to their end customers. From time to time, the Company receives notices from these wireless carriers and other partners of a claim for infringement of intellectual property rights potentially related to their products. These infringement claims have been settled, dismissed, have not been further pursued by the customers, or are pending for further action by the Company.

NOTE 11 — Subsequent Events

Maximum

On April 29, 2024, the Company closed on a capital investment of 3.5 million shares of common stock and warrants with a single investor for an aggregate purchase price of $3,850. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the investment for working capital and general corporate purposes. The $1.10 price for each unit (that includes one share of common stock and one warrant) is 126% higher than the closing price per share of $0.49 for common stock of the Company as of April 26, 2024.

Warrant

Each warrant has an exercise price of $1.10 per share, is immediately exercisable, will expire in five years from the date of issuance, and is subject to customary adjustments for certain transactions affecting the Company’s capitalization. The warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the investor subsequent to the exercise exceeds the specified beneficial ownership limitation provided therein (which is currently 9.99% and may be adjusted upon advance notice).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with “Cautionary Note About Forward-Looking Statements” and our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report as well as our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as amended, including Part 1, Item 1A “Risk Factors.”

Company Overview

Sonim Technologies is a leading U.S.-based provider of rugged mobile devices and accessories designed for workers physically engaged in their work environments, often in mission-critical roles. As part of our expansion efforts, the Company has introduced our Connected Solutions division which will begin launching products in 2024 in the U.S., Canada and Asia/Pacific. Connected Solutions will primarily consist of devices that connect to the internet including mobile hotspots, fixed wireless devices and USB dongle devices. In addition to this, the Company has expanded its rugged phone portfolio by developing a next-generation rugged smartphone that is designed for enterprise, government, and small to medium businesses and expected to be sold through tier-one carriers in North America, beginning in the second half of 2024. The Company is also launching a consumer durable product in late 2024 to address consumers who need more durability in their devices without sacrificing key design elements and maintaining an attractive price point.

The Company is executing its strategy of selling new products into much larger adjacent markets including the connect solutions market, the semi-rugged phone market, and the consumer durable phone market. During the first half of 2024, the Company is in a transition period, phasing out low margin white label products and commencing selling new products through our carrier channels. These products include new hotspots in the connected solutions market, a semi-rugged smartphone that expands our customer base to small and medium sized businesses, and a new consumer durable smartphone for the low to medium priced tier of the consumer smartphone market. Revenue in the first quarter of 2024 decreased compared to the first quarter of 2023 due to this transition. However, with the launch of these new products in the second half of 2024, we anticipate significant revenue growth and improved profitability.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, net revenues were primarily generated from sales of our mobile phones and industrial-grade accessories, predominantly to wireless carriers in the United States and Canada. We currently have 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. These carriers then resell our products, along with network services, to end customers focusing on two primary end markets: industrial enterprise and public sector. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, white label tablets were sold to a customer who resold them to a carrier in the U.S. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, white label smartphones were sold to a customer in Asia. The white label products, operating under the ODM model where Sonim designs for specific customers and outsources manufacturing, are not our core business. These ODM products typically yield lower margins and have shorter lifespans compared to Sonim’s other offerings.

With the primary sales channels in the U.S. and Canada consisting of large wireless carriers, the Company’s customer base is highly concentrated. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, large wireless carriers contributed 50% of our net revenues, with our top three carrier customers accounting for 45% of our net revenues. Our white label phones represented 46% of our net revenues while rugged smartphones constituted 33% of our net revenues and feature phones 20% of our net revenues.

While we continue to design ultra rugged phones and accessories, we have broadened our product range to appeal to a more diverse audience. Our core value proposition of the delivery of reliable quality devices, which has earned us a loyal following, remains the foundation of our expanded offerings, including rugged durable phones and wireless data devices. These new products will not only expand our portfolio of products but will also allow the Company to diversify our customer base into new markets. New product launches for mobile hotspots, a new next-generation rugged phone for a broader customer base, and our consumer-oriented phone will begin in the second half of 2024 and sales are expected to grow over the next few years.

Our key value proposition in the broader business and consumer market is to incorporate specific elements of our rugged roots into our new products with added durability without sacrificing attractive design and value pricing. We believe this is an underserved market opportunity in the small business, prosumer and consumer spaces. Our expertise in carrier mobility leads us to a natural extension into data devices, where we can leverage our technical expertise as well as our streamlined organization to bring better quality, better specs, and low cost to the marketplace.

Recent Developments

Recent Product Awards

The first step in selling our products through wireless telecommunications carriers is to receive a product award from the carrier. The award documents the intent of the carrier to carry the proposed product and offer it to customers through their stores or online. The carrier and Sonim agree to a launch date that is generally nine months or longer from the date of the product award. After the product award, the Company and its partners complete the design that includes the unique specifications from the carrier, test the device, obtain certification from the carrier to sell the device, and begin full scale manufacturing of the product based on purchase orders issued by the carrier.

As of the filing date of this report, Sonim has received thirteen carrier awards for the new portfolio of products: five awards for two models of mobile hotspots and eight awards for three new phones—a next-generation rugged smartphone, a next-generation rugged feature phone, and a consumer durable smartphone. Each of these products is expected to launch with tier-one carriers in the U.S., Canada, and Australia beginning in the second half of 2024. Prior to 2023, the Company received only one to two awards on average per year, in contrast to the thirteen awards it secured with the new portfolio beginning last year.

April 2024 Equity Financing

On April 29, 2024, we entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with a single investor in connection with a private placement of 3.5 million shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 3.5 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3.85 million. The private placement closed on the same date. We intend to use net proceeds from the private placement for working capital and general corporate purposes. The shares of our common stock sold under the Subscription Agreement (including those underlying the warrants) may not be transferred or sold until 180 days after the closing, or ‎‎October‎ ‎29‎, ‎2024, subject to customary limited exceptions.

The following tables present key components of our results of operations (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $9.0 million, or 35%, to $16.8 million, compared to $25.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net revenues was primarily due to the end of life of our white label tablet product in the fourth quarter of 2023, partially offset by the introduction of our white label phone product, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023. The first and second quarters of 2024 are expected to serve as transition periods, marked by a deceleration in our white label business and the anticipation of launching our hotspots, semi-rugged smartphone, and consumer durable smartphone.

Gross Profit and Margin

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $1.3 million, or 30%, to $2.9 million, or 17% gross margin, compared to $4.2 million, or 16% gross margin, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in gross profit is due to lower revenue from our white label products during the period. The increase in gross margin is due to a decrease in revenue from white label products, which have a lower profit margin.

Operating Expenses and Income (Loss) From Operations

Income (loss) from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $3.0 million to a loss from operations of $2.7 million compared to income from operations of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by decreased gross profit of $1.3 million and a $1.7 million increase in operating expenses.

Operating expenses are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023		Increase (Decrease)		%
Research and development	$	456	$	105	$	351		334	%
Sales and marketing		2,492		1,757		735		42	%
General and administrative		2,643		1,980		663		33	%
Total operating expenses	$	5,591	$	3,842	$	1,749		46	%

Research and Development

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased $0.4 million to $0.5 million compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to there being no R&D projects during the period ended March 31, 2023. In 2024 R&D expenses were related to our new hotspots, rugged phones, and consumer phone.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased $0.7 million to $2.5 million compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to headcount increases subsequent to March 31, 2023 to support sales in Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. We also hired a new VP of Marketing in the second quarter of 2023 and increased our spending on marketing to support new products that will be launched in 2024 and capture new business opportunities across Europe as a result of the ceased operations of a competitor.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased $0.7 million to $2.6 million compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in personnel and consulting expenses, including stock-based compensation, as well an increase in public company filing activity that required additional legal costs and auditor fees.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, remained at $0.1 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have funded operations from a combination of public and private equity financings, convertible loans from existing investors and borrowings under loan agreements. As of March 31, 2024, we did not have any convertible loans or any other borrowing structures in place.

Currently, our principal source of liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents totaling $9.3 million, as of March 31, 2024. On April 29, 2024, we received $3.85 million in cash from an investor for the purchase of the Company’s shares. See Note 11 for additional information. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our net loss was $2.9 million and our use of cash in operations was $0.2 million.

Our cash balance is expected to cover any negative cash flow that may be caused by developing new products over the next year and for our ongoing investment in personnel in Europe and our expected development of new products for Europe. Increased revenue from new products is expected to increase cash flow in the second half of 2024. We expect to meet all obligations with existing cash and operating cash flow for a period of at least one year from the date of release of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024, were $9.3 million.

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024			2023
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(168	)	$	(4,217	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(30	)		—
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		53			(37	)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(145	)	$	(4,254	)

Cash flows from operating activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $0.2 million, primarily attributable to a net loss of $2.9 million, partially offset by net cash provided by a change in our operating assets and liabilities of $1.5 million and net non-cash charges of $1.3 million. The change in net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.7 million and inventory of $1.7 million, partially offset by an increase in contract fulfillment assets of $1.2 million (capitalized costs for phone certifications). Non-cash charges primarily consist of $0.9 million in depreciation and amortization and $0.3 million for stock-based compensation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $4.2 million, primarily attributable to net cash used in a change in our operating assets and liabilities of $5.5 million, which was partially offset by net non-cash charges of $1.0 million. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $2.6 million, an increase in contract fulfillment assets of $0.7 million, and a decrease in accrued liabilities for contract fulfillment costs of $0.7 million. Additionally, accrued severance and accrued bonuses decreased by $1.4 million due to payments in the first quarter of 2023. Non-cash charges primarily consist of $0.6 million in depreciation and amortization and $0.3 million for stock-based compensation.

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash flows from financing activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, there were no significant financing activities.

Material Cash Requirements

There have been no material changes to our material cash requirements from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate.

A description of our critical accounting policies that represent the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements was provided in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes,

Segment Information

We have one business activity and operate in one reportable segment.

JOBS Act

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. We expect to use the extended transition period for any other new or revised accounting standards during the period in which we remain an emerging growth company. As a result, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) December 31, 2024 (the last day of the fiscal year following May 14, 2024, the fifth anniversary of the consummation of our initial public offering), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a smaller reporting company, which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our prospectuses and in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, prior to filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, and not absolute assurance, that the desired control objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals in all future circumstances. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

For information regarding our material legal proceedings, see “Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There are no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except as set forth below.

The risk factor titled “Sales of our common stock under the currently effective registration statement or the perception of such sales in the public market or otherwise could cause the market price for our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well” is amended and restated as follows:

Sales of our common stock under resale registration statements or the perception of such sales in the public market or otherwise could cause the market price for our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well.

Resales of our common stock may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly. The sale of shares of our common stock in the public market or otherwise, including sales pursuant to both the effective Form S-3 Registration Statement and Prospectus, dated December 1, 2023, (the “AJP Registration Statement”) and the registration statement and prospectus we are obligated to file pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (the “Liu Registration Statement”) or the perception that such sales could occur, could reduce the prevailing market price of shares of our common stock and increase the volatility of our share price. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us:

	●	to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate; and

	●	to comply with the Nasdaq listing standards with regard to the minimum bid price of our common stock.

The shares we intend to register for resale through Liu Registration Statement (assuming the exercise of the entirety of the warrants) represent approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of May 3, 2024, and approximately 25% of our public float as of such date. The shares of common stock offered for resale pursuant to the AJP Registration Statement represent approximately 45% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of May 3, 2024, and approximately 85% of our public float as of such date. Until such time that this registration statement is no longer effective, the registration statement will permit the resale of these shares. As such, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time.

The risk factor titled “In prior years, we identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which, if not remediated, could have resulted in material misstatements in our financial statements” is amended and restated as follows:

We have previously reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which have been remediated; however, we may identify additional or new material weaknesses in the future that may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in material misstatements in our financial statements or fail to prevent fraud.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls, and compliance with the other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In prior years, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. While the material weaknesses related to internal controls over financial reporting previously disclosed by Sonim have since been remediated, the process of designing and implementing an effective financial reporting system is a continuous effort that requires our team to anticipate and react to changes in Sonim’s business, including its geographic expansion, to economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that satisfies its reporting obligations.

We cannot be certain that the measures we have taken, and expect to take, to improve our internal controls will be sufficient to ensure that our internal controls will remain effective and eliminate the possibility that other material weaknesses or deficiencies may develop or be identified in the future. If we identify future material weaknesses in our internal controls, even if quickly remediated once disclosed, investors may lose confidence in our financial statements and our stock price may decline. Implementing changes to our internal controls in connection with the remediation of any material weakness may distract our management and could require us to incur significant expenses. If we fail to remediate any material weakness, our financial statements may be inaccurate, we may be required to restate our financial statements, our ability to report our financial results in a timely and accurate basis may be adversely affected, our access to the capital markets may be restricted, our stock price may decline, and we may be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening Sonim’s internal controls and procedures, in the future those internal controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or sufficiently identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

2024 Annual Meeting Date

On May 3, 2024, our board of directors established that the 2024 annual meeting of our stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”) will be held on Wednesday, July 17, 2024. The time and meeting website information for the 2024 Annual Meeting will be set forth in our definitive proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting, which will be filed with the SEC prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting.

Because the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting is advanced by more than thirty (30) days from the anniversary date of the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (which was held on September 28, 2023), the deadlines for any stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and for any stockholder nomination or proposal pursuant to our amended and restated bylaws (the “bylaws”), as listed in our definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on August 18, 2023, are no longer applicable. Pursuant to our bylaws and Rule 14a-5(f) of the Exchange Act, Sonim is hereby providing notice of the revised deadlines for such proposals. Sonim previously provided such notice in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 3, 2024.

Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8(e)(2) of the Exchange Act, a stockholder intending to present a proposal to be included in the proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting must deliver the proposal in writing to our principal executive offices no later than a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail the proxy materials for the 2024 Annual Meeting. Accordingly, the new deadline for the submission of proposals to be included in the proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting is May 13, 2024. In addition, stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.

Advance notice procedure

Pursuant to our bylaws, if a stockholder intends to present certain matters, including nominations for the election of directors, at the 2024 Annual Meeting, the notice must be delivered to our principal executive offices and received by May 13, 2024. In addition to complying with this deadline, stockholder nominations or proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in Sonim’s proxy materials for the 2024 Annual Meeting must also comply with our bylaws, all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, including the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act, and the law of the State of Delaware, as applicable.

Address of principal executive offices

Any stockholder proposal for inclusion in our proxy materials, notice of proposed business to be brought before the 2024 Annual Meeting or director nomination should be sent to: Sonim Technologies, Inc. 4445 Eastgate Mall, Suite 200, San Diego, CA, 92121 Attention: Secretary.
