Record Sales in 2024
Significantly Exceeds Second Half EBITDA Target
Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUG), a leading golf technology company, announced today an update to its previously issued guidance targets. In November the Company announced it expected sales growth for 2024 to be between 9% and 13%; with second half 2024 EBITDA in a range between $1.1 million to $1.5 million. Based on TruGolf's unaudited fourth quarter results, the Company expects 2024 sales to be approximately $22.5 million, a new record and that second half 2024 EBITDA is expected to be in excess of $2.2 million, significantly more than the target range. Full year 2024 EBITDA is expected to be in excess of $1.2 million.
Chief Executive Officer and Director Chris Jones said, "We are very pleased with the growing sales momentum for our upgraded and industry leading golf simulators. Second half demand was so strong for some products that we simply ran out of inventory. In response, we have taken actions to adjust for the robust market adoption so that we can better deliver products during this dynamic growth period for TruGolf. Interest in our franchise concept remains high and we anticipate announcing contracts for additional franchises in the United States throughout 2025. We expect the first franchise locations to open before the end of the year, with associated delivery of TruGolf simulators in the first half of 2025."
Growth in the 2nd half was attributable to the launch of new games for TruGolf's Multisport Arcade including Hoops, Quarterback, Cornhole, and an update to the ever popular Wild West Shootout pushing sales of both Arcade software and hardware worldwide. Another primary driver was the launch of E6 APEX Course play with over 1,200 courses from around the world in 4K visual splendor, more than any company in the industry, with exclusive benefits for TruGolf's APOGEE Launch Monitor customers fueling both hardware and software sales growth. This APEX release also included an integration with IBM watsonx.ai.
TruGolf expects to issue its fourth quarter and full year 2024 results in late March 2025, on schedule with requirements for emerging growth companies as defined in the Jumpstart of Businesses Startup Act of 2012.
