FTSE Russell determines index membership primarily based on market-cap rankings and style attributes.

“This is an exciting milestone that reflects the strong progress SKYX has made in scaling our business and executing our strategic vision,” said Lenny Sokolow, Co-CEO of SKYX. “We believe that inclusion in the Russell indexes will help broaden investor awareness of our technology platform and increase institutional ownership as we continue to grow and advance our mission to make homes and buildings safer and smarter.”

Management Commentary

Company’s Management, Board members, and Senior Advisors include former CEO’s and executives from Fortune 100 companies including Nielsen, Microsoft, Disney, GE, Home Depot, Office Depot, Chrysler, among others.

Although the First quarter of 2025 reflected expected tempered revenues following traditionally stronger calendar fourth-quarter sales, the Company generated record First quarter 2025 revenues of $20.1 million as compared to $18.9 million for the First quarter of 2024.

The First quarter of 2025 was highlighted by our continued market acceptance and positioning that includes our previously announced collaboration with Home Depot and Wayfair which we believe can be significant for our growth to both retail and professional markets. Additionally, the Ruee Appliances collaboration will assist us with product variety, gross margins, future distribution channels, and sales and marketing programs with key stakeholders in such channels. We believe we have accelerated our cadence of sales, notably managing our cash burn, while our e-commerce platform with over 60 websites is providing additional cash flow to the Company, which, when combined with our existing cash enhanced by our approximately $15 Million equity raises between in October 2024 and May 2025, enhances our cash position to continue executing our business plan. We believe we will be cash flow positive during 2025.

We are encouraged by our path to the builder/commercial segments, large online and brick-and-mortar retail partners as well as our future potential to realize incremental licensing, subscription, and AI/data aggregation revenues.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this press release are not based on historical facts, but are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “could,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “evaluate,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “probable,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target” “view,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These statements reflect the Company’s reasonable judgment with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which have outcomes difficult to predict and may be outside our control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include statements relating to the Company’s ability to successfully launch, commercialize, develop additional features and achieve market acceptance of its products and technologies and integrate its products and technologies with First-party platforms or technologies; the Company’s efforts and ability to drive the adoption of its products and technologies as a standard feature, including their use in homes, hotels, offices and cruise ships; the Company’s ability to capture market share; the Company’s estimates of its potential addressable market and demand for its products and technologies; the Company’s ability to raise additional capital to support its operations as needed, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; the Company’s ability to execute on any sales and licensing or other strategic opportunities; the possibility that any of the Company’s products will become National Electrical Code (NEC)-code or otherwise code mandatory in any jurisdiction, or that any of the Company’s current or future products or technologies will be adopted by any state, country, or municipality, within any specific timeframe or at all; risks arising from mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and other collaborations; the Company’s ability to attract and retain key executives and qualified personnel; guidance provided by management, which may differ from the Company’s actual operating results; the potential impact of unstable market and economic conditions, including recent measures adopted by the federal government, on the Company’s business, financial condition, and stock price; and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. There can be no assurance as to any of the foregoing matters. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this press release, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by U.S. federal securities laws.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management considers earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted, an important indicator in evaluating the Company’s business on a consistent basis across various periods. Due to the significance of non-recurring items, EBITDA, as adjusted, enables management to monitor and evaluate the business on a consistent basis. The Company uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as a primary measure, among others, to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and potential acquisitions. The Company believes that EBITDA, as adjusted, eliminates items that are not part of the Company’s core operations, such as interest expense and amortization expense associated with intangible assets, or items that do not involve a cash outlay, such as share-based payments and non-recurring items, such as transaction costs. EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income (loss), net income (loss) and cash flows used in operating activities. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. Investors should review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

Patrick McCann, CFA, Research Analyst, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Michael Kupinski, Director of Research, Equity Research Analyst, Digital, Media & Technology , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Solid results. The company reported Q1 revenue of $751 million, slightly below our estimate of $767 million, illustrated in Figure #1 CNDT Q1 Results. Quarterly adj. EBITDA of $37 million was significantly higher than our estimate of $14 million, driven by better-than-expected operating cost reductions as the company works to remove stranded costs from its 2024 divestitures. 

New business signings. During Q1, new business annual contract values (ACV) increased to $109 million, up 13.5% from $96 million in the prior year period. The total contract value (TCV) of the Q1 new business wins was $280 million, up an impressive 95.8%, year-over-year, indicating that management’s plan to return the organization to organic revenue growth is off to a good start, following a year that was more squarely focused on divestitures and debt reduction.

Release – Conduent Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Posted on by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

Research News and Market Data on CNDT

May 07, 2025

Key Q1 2025 Highlights

  • Revenue and Adj. Revenue(1): $751M
  • Pre-tax Income (Loss): $(56)M
  • Adj. EBITDA Margin(1): 4.9%
  • New Business Signings ACV(2): $109M
  • Net ARR Activity Metric(2) (TTM): $116M

FLORHAM PARK, NJ, May 7, 2025 – Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-led business process solutions and services company, today announced its first quarter 2025 financial results.

Cliff Skelton, Conduent President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “Conduent had a good start to 2025, especially amidst the broad uncertainty in the macro-economic landscape. Our results are in line with internal expectations and consistent with our 2025 outlook with respect to Adjusted Revenue, and

Adjusted EBITDA margins exceeded expectations. New business signings and our Net ARR Activity Metric, both signals of future growth, improved on a year-over-year basis. Operating cash flow comparison was negatively influenced by several one-time events in 2024 which when normalized, was better versus Q1 2024. Fortunately, while macro-economic and geopolitical environments affect everyone, most of our business segments are somewhat insulated from trade and government efficiency challenges, and in some cases, may benefit from opportunities. Our portfolio rationalization efforts are being reinvigorated with additional opportunities and are on track toward achieving more than $1B in deployable capital. Finally, we remain confident in achieving our previously stated 2025 exit rate targets we outlined two years ago.”

Performance Commentary

Conduent’s liquidity position at the end of the quarter remained strong with $293 million of cash and our $550 million revolving credit facility largely undrawn.

Pre-tax income (loss) for the first quarter of 2025 was $(56) million versus $127 million in the prior year period. This decrease is primarily driven by the gain on the transfer of the BenefitWallet portfolio in the prior year period.

Q1 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $37 million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 4.9% both increased versus the prior year period and were ahead of our expectations.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, while down year-over-year, are significantly better in Q1 2025 versus Q1 2024 when adjusting for the positive impacts of the tax refund and contributions from divested assets in the prior year period.

Additional Q1 2025 Performance Highlights

Conduent achieved several milestones in technology-led solutions, operational excellence and helping organizations achieve operating efficiencies:

  • As part of its efficiency and cost reduction initiatives, selected by a leading global logistics company to expand its digital customer experience based on proven outcomes, building on a trusted relationship spanning more than three decades;

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have reported our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using non-GAAP measures. We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related tax effects. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the results of the current period against the corresponding prior period. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable U.S. GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management regularly uses our non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. Providing such nonGAAP financial measures to investors allows for a further level of transparency as to how management reviews and evaluates our business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on certain of these non-GAAP measures. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section attached to this release for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures and their reconciliation to the reported U.S. GAAP measures.

Patrick McCann, CFA, Research Analyst, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Michael Kupinski, Director of Research, Equity Research Analyst, Digital, Media & Technology , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Solid Q1 results. The company reported Q1 revenue growth of 13.4% year over year to $16.0 million, roughly in line with our estimate of $16.2 million. Adj. EBITDA of $0.9 million was better than our estimate of $0.4 million.

B2C momentum. The strong quarterly revenue growth was driven by the company’s B2C segment. Importantly, the company is in the midst of optimizing pricing for its popular beauty app subscription and recently introduced a higher margin premium subscription plan. We believe the B2C segment is poised for continued revenue growth throughout 2025.
