MIND TECHNOLOGY, INC. REPORTS

FISCAL 2025 FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END RESULTS

THE WOODLANDS, TX – April 22, 2025 – MIND Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIND) (“MIND” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2025 fourth quarter and year ended January 31, 2025.

Revenues from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were approximately $15.0 million compared to $12.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and $13.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

The Company reported operating income from continuing operations of approximately $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to operating income of $1.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and operating income of $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. For the full year of fiscal 2025 the Company reported operating income from continuing operations of $6.8 million compared to $518,000 in fiscal 2024. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 amounted to approximately $2.0 million compared to $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 net income attributable to common shareholders was $2.0 million, or $0.25 per share compared to $494,000, or $0.35 per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was approximately $3.0 million compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, which is a non-GAAP measure, is defined and reconciled to reported net income (loss) from continuing operations and cash used in operating activities in the accompanying financial tables. These are the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

The backlog of Marine Technology Products as of January 31, 2025 related to our Seamap segment was approximately $16.2 million compared to $26.2 million at October 31, 2024 and $38.4 million at January 31, 2024. However, subsequent to January 31, 2025 the Company has booked firm orders totaling approximately $15.9 million.

Rob Capps, MIND’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are very pleased to report another solid quarter and continue our trend of profitability. While there will undoubtedly be quarterly fluctuations going forward, our backlog and pipeline of business and the general market tailwinds give us belief that this trend will continue into fiscal 2026. In the fourth quarter, we once again generated positive cash flow from operations and ended the quarter with cash on hand of approximately $5.3 million. Such measures underscore our solid financial position.

“I am very pleased with where MIND is positioned today. We have stabilized the company, restored it to profitability and positioned ourselves to take advantage of opportunities within our existing and future markets,” added Capps. “However, we are still a small company, which presents certain challenges. We believe that to maximize stockholder value, MIND needs additional scale. We have identified organic growth opportunities that could help grow the Company. However, we also believe there are several other ways to achieve additional scale, including acquiring assets or businesses, combining with other organizations, or even an outright sale of the Company. All of these options are open to us, and we intend to investigate and analyze them. To assist us with this effort, we have retained Lucid Capital Markets LLC.

“We currently do not see a need to raise additional capital and have no near-term plans to do so. However, we do think it prudent to prepare ourselves should a need arises in the future, such as in connection with financing internal growth projects or the purchase of assets or a business. Therefore, we intend to file a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the very near future. This will allow us to move quickly and efficiently should circumstances dictate,” concluded Capps

Forward-looking Statements

Certain statements and information in this press release concerning results for the quarter and year ended January 31, 2025 may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this press release other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “should,” “would,” “could” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. All comments concerning our expectations for future revenues and operating results are based on our forecasts of our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions or dispositions. Our forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, reductions in our customers’ capital budgets, our own capital budget, limitations on the availability of capital or higher costs of capital, and volatility in commodity prices for oil and natural gas.

For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our projected results, please see our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, unless required by law, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain statements and information in this press release contain non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Company management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Company management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze the Company's business trends and to understand the Company's performance. In addition, the Company may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as guides in its forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning processes and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of Backlog, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is not included in this press release due to the inherent difficulty and impracticality of quantifying certain amounts that would be required to calculate the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is defined as net income before (a) interest income and interest expense, (b) provision for (or benefit from) income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash foreign exchange gains and losses, stock-based compensation, impairment of intangible assets, other non-cash tax related items and non-cash costs of lease pool equipment sales. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important indicators for the performance of our business, but not measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because management utilizes this information for assessing our performance and liquidity, and as indicators of our ability to make capital expenditures, service debt and finance working capital requirements and we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measurements that are commonly used by analysts and some investors in evaluating the performance and liquidity of companies such as us. In particular, we believe that it is useful to our analysts and investors to understand this relationship because it excludes transactions not related to our core cash operating activities. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully trend and analyze the performance of our core cash operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities or net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating our performance as measured by EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measurement. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense or other obligations such as capital expenditures. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are only two of the measurements that management utilizes. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
