John Suzuki, CEO of BK Technologies, commented, “We achieved exceptional execution in the fourth quarter of 2024 highlighted by revenue growth, continued margin expansion, and increased profitability that substantially exceeded our expectations. Order activity for the BKR 9000 saw momentum throughout the year with considerable interest from state and local agencies seeking the radio’s multiband capabilities and superior reliability at a price point they can afford. We’re expanding our offerings beyond our traditional wildland fire market, with the introduction of new software and products in 2025 that we believe will significantly enhance first responder safety and capabilities in the field. To better represent our offerings, earlier this month we announced the establishment of our Solutions business unit, which expands our former SaaS solutions unit to now include SaaS, software applications and certain hardware offerings under the BK ONE brand name.”

Mr. Suzuki concluded, “As we begin to move through 2025, we’re strategically investing in sales and marketing to further accelerate BKR 9000 adoption and building out our engineering capabilities to strengthen our expertise and depth in the software space. With our visibility today, we believe we are positioned to achieve full year single digit revenue growth and gross margins of 42% or higher. From a profitability perspective, we expect full year 2025 GAAP EPS to exceed $2.40 per diluted share, and full year 2025 non-GAAP adjusted EPS to exceed $2.80 per diluted share. We delivered solid growth and progress in 2024 and look forward to carrying this positive momentum into the 2025 fiscal year.”

¹ Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the section entitled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and Reconciliation to GAAP later in this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

BK Technologies prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release are important to the reader of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has provided the non-GAAP financial information presented in the press release, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in the press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures presented in the press release. The non-GAAP financial measures in the press release may differ from similar measures used by other companies.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA). Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SEC’s rules because it excludes certain amounts included in net income provided in the statement of operations attributable to the Company calculated in accordance with GAAP, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA can help the investors better understand operational factors associated with the Company’s financial performance because it excludes the following from consideration: interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and infrequent or unusual losses or gains (i.e., non-recurring and incremental restructuring charges that are not expected to be routinely incurred year over year because of the Company’s strategy and operating experience). See Reconciliation to GAAP below for calculation methodology and details regarding Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS). Adjusted EPS is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SEC’s rules because it excludes certain amounts included in the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company calculated in accordance with GAAP EPS, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts GAAP EPS for expense items that are typically strategic in nature or that management otherwise does not view as reflecting the operating performance of the company. Management believes Adjusted EPS can help the reader better understand the operating performance of the core businesses and their ability to generate earnings. The Company has non-cash charges for stock-based compensation and changes in investment value that do not reflect the operating performance of the LMR and SaaS businesses. The Company has also entered a master Service Agreement with EastWest Manufacturing, LLC for the manufacture of LMR radio products and accessories resulted in one-time adjustments related to the transition of production operations during the fiscal year 2024. The Company also recorded a one-time, non-cash income tax benefit for NOL carryforwards during fiscal year 2024. Management believes that these one-time charges do not reflect the operational profitability of the business for 2024 compared to prior periods. See Reconciliation to GAAP below for calculation methodology and details regarding Adjusted EPS. We do not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP guidance due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain items necessary to provide such reconciliations as a result of their unknown effect, timing and potential significance.

Certain of these factors and risks, as well as other risks and uncertainties, are stated in more detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release, and the Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statement.

This press release and related communications contain specifically identified non-GAAP financial measures, which supplement the results that are reported according to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors but should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results. Differences between non-GAAP financial measures and comparable GAAP financial measures are reconciled in the release. We do not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP guidance due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain items necessary to provide such reconciliations as a result of their unknown effect, timing and potential significance.
