Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUG), a leading provider of golf simulator software and hardware, announced today its second quarter 2025 results. The Company reported sales of $4.3 million, up 11.3% compared to 2024 second quarter sales of $3.9 million. Net losses increased to ($3.3) million for 2025's second quarter, versus a net loss of ($1.6) million in the 2024 period, driven most notably by professional fees and the recognition of interest expense. EPS for 2025's second quarter improved to ($4.63), as compared to 2024's ($6.80) loss per share.
Chief Executive Officer and Director Chris Jones said, "Seasonally, the second quarter is typically our toughest period, but the company still managed to achieve significant year-on-year revenue growth. However, the big story of Q2 was our efforts to regain compliance with Nasdaq's listing standards, a process we successfully concluded in July. With our debt load now significantly reduced, we are optimistic about achieving substantial operational improvements in the latter half of the year, especially as the current upward trend in sales continues."
Mr. Jones continued, "During the quarter we took several non-cash charges related to inventory adjustments and costs associated with our TruTrack product. Absent these write-downs, operationally profitability was in line with prior periods. We expect reported margins to return to traditional levels in Q3. In July we commenced US sales of our Launchbox monitor and we are very excited about the prospects for this mass market product. The initial results for the first month of LaunchBox sales are promising. I am also happy to report on the successful grand opening of our first TruGolf Links franchise in the Chicago area on July 29th. We expect a larger flagship franchise location to open in the fourth quarter of this year and more to follow in 2026."
Operations:
Gross margin for 2025's second quarter was 44.4% as compared to 66.4% in 2024's quarter as performance was hurt by the $0.9 million of write-downs associated with inventory adjustments and the TruTrack product. For the first half of 2025, sales grew 9% to $9.7 million from $8.9 million. Gross margin was 57.5% as compared to 63.3% in the first half of 2024. 2025's second quarter loss from operations was higher at ($1.9) million as compared to ($0.8) million in the 2024 period, driven largely by higher cost of goods sold in the second quarter due to the previously mentioned inventory write-down. Year-to-date 2025's losses from operations were $3.1 million, 80% higher than in 2024's first half loss of ($1.7) million with increased operating expenses driven primarily by higher professional expenses associated with regaining Nasdaq compliance of $600,000, higher spending on marketing of $336,000 and capitalized software of $296,000. 2025 second quarter operating expenses increased by 13% or $0.4 million, driven by higher SG&A costs arising from increased marketing costs of $114,000, higher professional fees of $377,000 associated with regaining Nasdaq compliance and an increase in amortization expense related to capitalized software of $130,000. This was offset by a decrease in salaries, wages and benefits of $111,000, or 10%, due primarily to an increase in salaries being capitalized for time spent on developing new versions of the Company's platform software.
Interest expense in the second quarter of 2025 rose by $0.7 million and for the first half of 2025, interest expense increased by $1.8 million with the increases resulting from amortization expense of the PIPE Convertible Notes debt discount, the write-off of remaining debt discounts upon the conversion of related to the PIPE Convertible Notes, and the make-good interest expense upon the conversion of related PIPE Convertible Notes.
