2025 Outlook
Management reiterates its expectation for revenue of $27 million to $29 million for the full year of 2025. The revenue projection for 2025 assumes no contribution from Pioneer’s new HOMe-Boost solution.
The foregoing projected outlook constitutes forward-looking information and is intended to provide information about management’s current expectations for the Company’s 2025 fiscal year. Although considered reasonable as of the date hereof, this outlook, and the underlying assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from the Company’s expectations as set forth herein. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
In preparing the above outlook, the Company assumed, among other things, (i) that the Company’s backlog orders will translate into revenue, (ii) that the Company will be able to satisfactorily complete and deliver all orders and (iii) the timely payment by customers for all billings. This section includes forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Earnings Conference Call:
Management will host a conference call Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss Pioneer’s 2024 fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results with the investment community.
Anyone interested in participating should call 1-877-407-0789 if calling within the United States or 1-201-689-8562 if calling internationally. When asked, please reference confirmation code 13752590.
A replay will be available until April 17, 2025, which can be accessed by dialing 1-844-512-2921 if calling within the United States or 1-412-317-6671 if calling internationally. Please use passcode 13752590 to access the replay.
The call will also be accompanied live by webcast over the Internet and accessible at https://viavid.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1712844&tp_key=c8ff18fe09.
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), this document references certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines non-GAAP operating income (loss) from continuing operations as GAAP operating income (loss) from continuing operations excluding corporate overhead expenses, research and development expenses, and non-recurring professional fees. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance and enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary, independent of business performance.
The Company’s management uses non-GAAP operating income (loss) from continuing operations (a) as a measure of operating performance, (b) for planning and forecasting in future periods, and (c) in communications with the Company’s board of directors concerning the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s presentation of this non-GAAP measure is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation and should not be used by investors as a substitute or alternative to any measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, management believes this non-GAAP measure should be used to supplement the Company’s financial measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP in order to provide a more complete understanding of the trends affecting the business.
Please refer to "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" in this document for a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
