NORWELL, Mass., April 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DIH Holding US, Inc. ("DIH")(NASDAQ:DHAI), a leading global robotics and virtual reality (“VR”) technology provider in the rehabilitation and human performance industry, today announced financial results for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, which is the third quarter of the Company’s 2024 Fiscal Year, ending March 31, 2024.

• Device revenue of $36.9 million, an increase of 47.3% over the prior year period; Services revenue of $8.8 million, an increase of 17.3% over the prior year period; Other revenues of $1.4 million, an increase of 129.8% over the prior year period

“We are excited to announce another strong quarter of company performance as we close out the first nine months of Fiscal Year 2024. We continue to see increased opportunity and positive momentum in expanding the business into new markets and geographies,” said Jason Chen, Chairman and CEO of DIH. “We saw significant revenue growth over the prior year as a result of an increase in device sales and our ability to efficiently sell into Europe, the Americas and Asia. As we enter our first quarter as a publicly traded company, our focus remains on generating stakeholder value and delivering a transformative rehabilitative care model around the world.”

Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2023

Revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $47.1 million, an increase of 42% compared to the prior year period. The increase was due primarily to a higher number of devices sold, which consisted of an increase in sales to third-party customers and stronger sales volumes in Europe, the Americas and Asia.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact on our combined net sales in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, resulting in an increase of approximately $1.7 million. This was mainly driven by fluctuations in Euro valuations throughout the period.

Gross profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $23.2 million, a 27% increase compared to the prior period.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $19.9 million, an increase of 9% compared to the prior period. The increase was primarily due to professional service and IT costs in preparation for the business combination with Aurora Technology Acquisition Corp. (ATAK) and becoming a publicly listed company, as well as personnel-related expenses such as payroll and pension. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in bad debt allowance and overhead expenses.

Research and development costs for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 were $5.9 million, a decrease of 1.8% compared to the prior period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in research and development material purchases, external consulting fees, and overhead expenses. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in personnel expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2023 totaled $2.8 million.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain statements which are not historical facts, which are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, for the purposes of the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include certain statements made with respect to the business combination, the services offered by DIH and the markets in which it operates, and DIH’s projected future results. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions provided for illustrative purposes only, and projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: general economic, political and business conditions; the inability of the parties to consummate the proposed business combination or the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement, failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, including as a result of a delay in consummating the potential transaction or difficulty in integrating the businesses of DIH; the inability to maintain the listing of the DIH’s securities on Nasdaq; costs related to the proposed business combination; While DIH may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, DIH specifically disclaims any obligation to do so.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

DIH reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance. DIH calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (1) taxes (2) interest expense (3) depreciation and amortization and (4) other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of our business, and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Management presented EBITDA in historical periods prior to the completion of the Business Combination with ATAK. Adjusted EBITDA is adjusted to exclude other non-recurring items such as transaction-related expenses. By providing Adjusted EBITDA, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and the results of operations.
