Management Commentary

Jason Katz, Chairman and CEO of IPM, commented, "The first quarter of 2025 was transformational for IPM following the closing of our acquisition of NTS, which concentrates our efforts going forward in the rapidly growing cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity markets. Today, more than ever, cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity are critical to protecting sensitive data, ensuring business continuity and securing a digital economy in an era of growing cyber threats. We have an exciting opportunity to build upon NTS's historical achievements moving forward as a standalone integrated service company.

"Since the closing of the Transactions, we have successfully integrated our operations and serviced our existing customers without interruption. Moving forward, we believe we are now well-positioned to grow the Company through the expansion of our services offerings to existing legacy NTS customers, while cross-selling our ManyCam services to our historical web hosting customer base. This should lead to further growth and enhancement of operational efficiencies, all focused on driving stockholder value.

"We enter this new chapter for IPM with a strong balance sheet highlighted by $9.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and no long-term debt, which when coupled with the potential earn-out from the Transferred Assets, put us in an ideal position to execute on our business plans and further transform IPM," Mr. Katz concluded.

Financial Results for Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $5.5 million, compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by new revenue streams as a result of the acquisition of NTS, which closed on January 2, 2025.

Loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $1.3 million, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company incurred approximately $0.3 million of one-time expenses in connection with the Transactions. The loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 also included $0.9 million of non-cash expense, consisting of amortization and depreciation of $0.7 million ($0.4 million of which represents amortization on newly acquired intangible assets) as well as $0.2 million of non-cash share based compensation. The loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included subscriptions sales from ManyCam software as well as all general and administrative expenses for the Company, which included all professional fees and public company expenses.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.8 million, compared to a net loss of $(0.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ remained relatively unchanged at $(0.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $9.7 million at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.9 million compared to $10.6 million at December 31, 2024, as a result of a $4.0 million cash payment as part of the acquisition of NTS, partially offset by $1.4 million cash inflow from the divestiture of the Transferred Assets and cash flow from operations of $1.7 million.

The Company reported no long-term debt on its balance sheet at March 31, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has provided in this release Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest (income) expense, net, other (income) expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and net loss from discontinued operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA internally in analyzing the Company's financial results to assess operational performance and to determine the Company's future capital requirements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to Adjusted EBITDA in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company's operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between the Company's performance and that of competitors. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect, among other things: cash capital expenditures for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures; interest income, net; other expense, net; income tax expense from continuing operations; our working capital requirements; the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; the provision for income taxes; and net loss from discontinued operations. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including total revenues, subscription revenue, deferred revenue, net income (loss), cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net cash used in operating activities and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
