Improved industry environment and technology refresh cycle drove year-over-year revenue growth for MiT
Higher gross margin and cost reductions led to improvement in net loss
Customer spending expected to continue to improve throughout 2025
Fountain Valley, California--(Newsfile Corp. - February 13, 2025) - Moving iMage Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: MITQ), ("MiT"), $MITQ, a leading technology and services company for cinema, Esports, stadiums, arenas and other out-of-home entertainment venues, today announced results for its second quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Phil Rafnson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MiT commented:
"Industry trends indicate a strengthening cinema industry spending environment, which we believe is still in the early stages of a broader recovery. Theaters are not only rebounding but starting to invest in the future, and our solutions continue to play a key role in their modernization efforts. While fiscal Q2 is traditionally our seasonally weakest quarter, we benefited from a return to revenue growth, expanded gross margins and, combined with the cost reductions we implemented at the beginning of the fiscal year, we improved our net loss year-over-year. Notably, we secured multiple orders tied to the ongoing technology refresh cycle, particularly for laser projectors and advanced sound solutions like Dolby Atmos immersive audio for premium large format (PLF) auditoriums. These investments signal growing confidence among theater owners who are prioritizing premium technology upgrades to enhance the moviegoing experience and drive long-term audience engagement."
Fiscal 2025 Commentary
Francois Godfrey, President and Chief Operating Officer of MiT commented:
"The 2024 holiday box office was encouraging with a more than 40% surge over the previous year, and we look forward to the possibility of improved demand for our offerings beginning as early as the end of our fiscal year. To ensure we are positioned to capture as much as this spend as possible when the time comes, we are increasing our marketing activities to ensure the industry fully understands the breadth of our capabilities, while keeping our costs in check. Our near-term priority remains driving to higher, more consistent revenue growth and attaining profitability in our core business, creating a strong foundation for investing in our planned growth initiatives that we believe have the potential to drive higher levels of future growth."
