(NASDAQ: WRAP) (“Wrap” or the “Company”), a global leader in innovative public safety solutions, today announced key financial and operational achievements for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. Key Highlights: Significant Cost Reductions: Operating expenses slashed by 22% year-over-year, falling to $3.9 million from $4.9 million in Q3 2023, reflecting efficiency gains. Monetizing Inventory : Ongoing cost-saving measures and paused manufacturing have allowed the Company to focus on monetizing a $25 million finished goods inventory and reinforce a leaner operational model. Increase in Reported Subscription Services : Subscription services provide customers with technology through 2027. Major Cash Flow Improvements: Net cash used in operations dropped dramatically by $6.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, down to $6.9 million compared to $12.9 million in the same period in 2023, showcasing disciplined cash management. Q3 Revenue Amid Cost Reductions: While successfully reducing expenses, Revenue was $593 thousand during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, bringing year-to-date revenue to $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, showcasing efficient financial management and continued momentum. Strengthened Financial Stability : Stockholders' equity exceeds Nasdaq minimum requirements with respect to stockholders' equity, supported by our cash position and optimized financial controls. Highly Anticipated Integrated Offering: Building a strategic partner ecosystem to deliver comprehensive, integrated technology-as-a-service solutions tailored to the needs of public safety agencies. Commitment to Innovation and Market Expansion Wrap continues to prioritize strategic investments in research and development, driving innovations such as next-gen cassettes, enhanced device integration with body cameras, and exploring consumer versions in line with ATF classification requirements. With efforts now emphasizing a “Made in America” supply chain, Wrap remains focused on data security and compliance to meet federal standards and requirements. Meeting Unmet Market Needs The competitive landscape underscores a clear market gap. Departments report a need for affordable, integrated solutions rather than fragmented technologies or costly overbuilt offerings. Wrap is committed to evolving as an end-to-end service provider, aligning with public safety's urgent demands and preparing for expanded international reach. Currently in pre-integration engineering, Wrap is developing a trusted service provider solution that it anticipates will launch in Q1 2025, supported by existing major customers and state-level partnerships. Simultaneously, a global go-to-market plan is in process with additional key talent to support the rollout, enabling maximum impact of this new product campaign. Look for potential broad adoption of the BolaWrap as we go back to the market with a more integrated training approach. We will be scheduling a stockholder call before year-end.
