Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUG), a leading provider of golf simulator software and hardware, today reported its third quarter 2025 results.
Third Quarter 2025 vs. Third Quarter 2024:
Financial Highlights
- Cash: $11.4 million unrestricted; $13.5 million including restricted cash, up 30% from December 31, 2024.
- Total liabilities decreased to $16.7 million from $21.8 million at year-end, following the exchange of certain convertible notes into equity and settlement of merger-related obligations.
- Gross Margin: 69%, up sequentially from second quarter 2025.
- Remaining contract performance obligations of approximately $6.2 million. The Company has a consistent history of recognizinġ deferred revenue and fulfilling customer deposits on a rolling 3 month basis.
- Stockholders’ Equity: Positive $6.26 million (vs. $(4.6) million deficit at year-end 2024).
- Net Loss: $(7.3) million for the third quarter, primarily due to a non-cash $6.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
- Revenue: $4.1 million for the quarter vs. $6.2 million in 2024, primarily reflecting timing of product deliveries and deferred recognition related to software and franchise contracts.
Operational Highlights
- Continued investment in product development, including E6 APEX, LaunchBox, and the upcoming TruGolf Range platform set to debut at the 2026 PGA Show.
- Advancements in AI-driven analytics and commentary, powered by IBM watsonx.ai, which the Company believes will become a key differentiator in TruGolf’s software ecosystem.
- Franchise and multi-bay facility model under construction, with the first “Golf Everywhere” installation in Flower Mound, TX, representing the blueprint for national rollout.
“Q3 marked a pivotal quarter for TruGolf as we completed the restructuring of our balance sheet, regained full NASDAQ compliance, and positioned the company for growth in 2026.” Said Chris Jones, CEO and Director of TruGolf. “Today TruGolf’s underlying fundamentals are stronger than they have been since going public, we are now operating with a capital structure free of short-term debt pressure, strong liquidity and a positive equity base. We expect to maintain sufficient cash to fund operations for at least 12 months and anticipate renewed growth momentum in 2026 as new product lines begin contributing revenue. We believe our share price does not yet reflect the progress achieved or the opportunity ahead, and we remain confident that operational execution and strategic visibility in 2026 will unlock meaningful shareholder value.”
In the quarter, the Company experienced significant professional fees ($0.4 million) in connection with regaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. At the same time, it recognized large development costs ($0.2 million) and increased contract labor costs ($0.3 million) associated with refreshing its product and software offerings. Additionally, top line sales were reduced in the quarter by ($2.1 million) as compared to 2024’s quarter primarily due to a change in our policy for recognition of sales of product licenses. This change has also led to an increase in deferred revenue.
Gross margin for 2025’s third quarter was 69.3% as compared to 69.1% in 2024’s quarter and a major improvement from 2025’s second quarter of 44.4% as performance returned to historic levels. 2025’s third quarter loss from operations was higher at ($1.1) million as compared to profits of $0.9 million in the 2024 period, driven largely by SG&A costs in the third quarter due to the previously mentioned higher professional fees in connection with regaining NASDAQ compliance, higher costs of contract labor used in connection with product upgrades and increased amortization of capitalized software. Somewhat offsetting these higher operating expenses was a $1.1 million decrease in salaries, wages and benefits due primarily to an increase in salaries being capitalized for time spent on developing new versions of the Company’s platform software.
Net losses increased to ($7.3) million for 2025’s third quarter, versus a net loss of ($0.06) million in the 2024 period, driven most notably by the losses from extinguishment of $6.1 million in debt in the quarter and the associated recognition of interest expenses associated with the exchange of convertible notes for Series A Preferred shares and warrants in the period as well as $0.4 million in professional fees and related expenses associated with regaining compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.
Interest expense in the third quarter of 2025 declined by $0.8 million due to exchange of outstanding convertible notes. The convertible note exchange in the third quarter resulted in the previously mentioned ($6.1) million loss on extinguishment of debt. The Company’s liabilities declined by $3.3 million in the quarter to $16.7 million.
