MITQ Moving iMage Technologies Inc

Moving iMage Technologies, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: MITQ), (“MiT”), a leading technology and services company for cinema, Esports, stadiums, arenas and other out-of-home entertainment venues, today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

Phil Rafnson, chairman and chief executive officer of MiT commented, “The fourth quarter marked the close to a challenging fiscal year, one in which we successfully managed through the industry disruptions caused by the actors and writers strikes that began during our second fiscal quarter. While the strong momentum and results from our first fiscal quarter did not continue throughout the remainder of the year, we made significant progress behind the scenes on our newer initiatives that we believe will drive much improved results in the years to come. These initiatives included the completed testing of LEA Professional’s smart power amplifiers at a top 10 circuit, with ongoing testing at several other top circuits while progressing towards commercialization of our emerging products, including MiTranslator and E-Caddy.

“We also put our money where our mouth is. We repurchased over 758,000 shares during the year, demonstrating our belief that our stock is significantly undervalued at current levels and our confidence in a post-strike industry recovery and our emerging products creating value over the next several years.”

Fiscal 2025 Commentary

“We are incredibly excited about the bright future ahead for cinema and the broader entertainment industry, with MiT at the forefront of innovation. The industry has regained significant momentum, driven by the return of blockbuster films and a growing demand for premium, immersive cinema experiences. This resurgence marks just the beginning of a larger transformation in how audiences engage with theaters, and MiT is perfectly positioned to lead this shift with our advanced technologies.

“Theaters are investing heavily in next-generation projection, audio systems, and enhanced amenities, with major chains committing over $2.2 billion to upgrades over the next three years. This wave of investment presents tremendous growth opportunities for MiT, as our offerings are central to the premiumization trend, reshaping the moviegoing experience.

“Moreover, the cinema industry is entering a critical upgrade cycle as projectors and servers reach end-of-life. For example, one medium-sized customer alone needs to upgrade over 200 projectors, which could potentially generate $15-25 million in sales for MiT over the next four years. We believe that more than 10,000 projectors will need upgrading during this time frame at a cost of $30,000 to $130,000 per projector, so this cycle is likely still in the first inning.

“Strategic moves in the industry—such as Sony Pictures' acquisition of Alamo Drafthouse—validate the strong outlook for theatrical releases, while the expansion of cinemas into live events, gaming, and corporate rentals creates further demand for our versatile, high-performance equipment.

“MiT’s innovative solutions, like our soon-to-be commercialized high-margin recurring revenue MiTranslator and E-Caddy offerings, uniquely position us to meet the evolving needs of this dynamic landscape. As the industry transforms, we’re not just poised to grow alongside it—we’re helping drive that growth. We remain committed to delivering long-term value for our investors by enhancing the moviegoing experience and expanding our market leadership,” concluded Rafnson.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP net income/loss and earnings/loss per share as a measure customarily used by investors and analysts to evaluate the financial performance of companies in addition to the GAAP measures that we present. Our management also believes that eliminating one-time items and non-cash stock compensation expense is useful in evaluating our core operating results and comparing results to prior periods. However, non-GAAP metrics are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP in the United States of America and should not be considered an alternative to Net Income as an indicator of our operating performance.
