Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Among others, these include risks related to ongoing and varying inflationary and deflationary pressures around the world and the monetary and trade policies of governments globally as well as present and ongoing concerns about a potential recession, the potential for longer than expected sales cycles, the ability of companies like us to operate a global business in such conditions as well as negative effects on product demand and the financial solvency of customers and suppliers in such conditions, risks related to ongoing supply chain challenges that continue to impact businesses globally, regulatory risks that include, but are not limited to, the potential expansion of tariffs and potential changes to regulations impacting the functionality or compliance of our products, risks related to cybersecurity, data breaches and data privacy, risks arising from the present military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, the highly competitive market in which we operate, rapid changes in technologies that may displace products sold by us, declining prices of networking products, our reliance on distributors and other third parties to sell our products, the potential for significant purchase orders to be canceled or changed, delays in product development efforts, uncertainty in user acceptance of our products, the ability to integrate our products and services with those of other parties in a commercially accepted manner, potential liabilities that can arise if any of our products have design or manufacturing defects, our ability to integrate and realize the expected benefits of acquisitions, our ability to defend or settle satisfactorily any litigation, the impact of natural disasters and other events beyond our control that could negatively impact our supply chain and customers, potential unintended consequences associated with restructuring, reorganizations or other similar business initiatives that may impact our ability to retain important employees or otherwise impact our operations in unintended and adverse ways, and changes in our level of revenue or profitability which can fluctuate for many reasons beyond our control.

These and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions identified from time to time in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation, those set forth in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, subsequent filings, as well as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other filings, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Many of such factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date for which they are made. Except to the extent required by law, we do not undertake, and expressly disclaim, any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the values of purchased assets and assumed liabilities in acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

A description of our critical accounting estimates was provided in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

OVERVIEW

We are a leading global provider of business and mission-critical IoT connectivity products, services and solutions. Our business is comprised of two reporting segments: IoT Products & Services and IoT Solutions.

In fiscal 2025, our key operating objectives include:

• continuing to transition to complete solutions with software and service offerings included with our products, as this drives Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR"), which provides more predictable and higher margin revenue; and
• delivering a higher level of customer service across our businesses.

We utilize many financial, operational, and other metrics to evaluate our financial condition and financial performance. Below we highlight the metrics for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 that we feel are most important in these evaluations, with comparisons to the third quarter of fiscal 2024:

• Consolidated revenue was $108 million, an increase of 2%.
• Consolidated gross profit was $68 million, an increase of 10%.
• Gross profit margin was 63.5%, an increase of 430 basis points.
• Net income was $10 million, an increase of 6%.
• Net income per diluted share was $0.27, an increase of 4%.
• Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share were $20 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, respectively, compared to $18 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, respectively.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $28 million, or 25.6% of revenue, compared to $25 million or 23.5% of revenue, an increase of 11%.
• Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) was $126 million at quarter end, an increase of 12%.

In recent periods, we have experienced longer than expected sales cycles with respect to many contracts and projects of potential significance. We believe this is related to macroeconomic conditions and are uncertain as to when and to what degree sales cycles will return to more normal conditions, but expect this may adversely impact our results for at least the remainder of fiscal 2025.

In addition, like many companies we are monitoring the impact recently announced tariffs by governments around the world may have on our business. Given the fluidity of these announcements and their ability to be changed, the exact impact of tariffs on our future results is uncertain.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We are exposed to ongoing market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

INTEREST RATE RISK

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2025, we had $41.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Loan. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR with a floor of 0.00% for an interest period of one, three, or six months as selected by Digi, reset at the end of the selected interest period (or a replacement benchmark rate if Term SOFR is no longer available) plus the applicable margin or a base rate plus the applicable margin. The base rate is determined by reference to the highest of (1) BMO’s prime rate, (2) the rate determined by BMO to be the average rate of Federal funds in the secondary market plus 0.50%, or (3) one-month SOFR plus 1.00%. The applicable margin for loans under the Credit Facility is in a range of 1.75 to 2.75% for Term SOFR loans and 0.75% to 1.75% for base rate loans, depending on Digi’s total net leverage ratio.

All borrowings in the period were made at Term SOFR for a one-month interest election period plus an applicable margin of 2.25% through February 13, 2025 and at Term SOFR for a six-month interest election period plus an applicable margin of 1.75% following that date. Our weighted average interest rate for our Credit Facility as of June 30, 2025 was 6.10%.

Digi bases the interest period election described above on an assessment of the interest rate environment conducted on a monthly basis. Based on the balance sheet position for the Revolving Loan at June 30, 2025, the annualized effect of a 25 basis point change in interest rates would increase or decrease our interest expense by $0.1 million. For additional information, see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. For our Credit Facility, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair value of the debt instruments, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. If interest rates remain elevated, we will continue to see interest expenses that are higher than historical amounts.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

We are not exposed to foreign currency transaction risk associated with sales transactions as the majority of our sales are denominated in U.S. Dollars. We are exposed to foreign currency translation risk as the financial position and operating results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars for consolidation. We manage our net asset or net liability position for non-functional currency accounts, primarily the U.S. Dollar accounts in our foreign locations to reduce our foreign currency risk. We have not implemented a formal hedging strategy.

A 10% change in the average exchange rate for the Euro, British Pound, Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar to the U.S. Dollar during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 would have resulted in a 0.9% increase or decrease in stockholders' equity due to foreign currency translation.

CREDIT RISK

We have exposure to credit risk related to our accounts receivable portfolio. Exposure to credit risk is controlled through regular monitoring of customer financial status, credit limits and collaboration with sales management and customer contacts to facilitate payment.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024.

Our dependence on new product development, rapid technological change, competitors’ product introductions and enhancements, and regulatory changes make us susceptible to potential fluctuations in demand or loss of market share for our products.

Our industry is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions, short product life cycles in certain instances and rapidly changing customer requirements. One example of new technology that could impact the markets in which we sell products and customer requirements could be the introduction of artificial intelligence features into products or solutions offerings. The introduction of products and enhancements embodying new technologies, whether via competitors’ products or just changes in markets where we sell products because of other changes in technology more generally, can disrupt one or more markets in which we compete. In addition, the emergence of new or changed industry standards or regulations impacting our industry can also cause demand for our products to fluctuate or render our products obsolete or unmarketable.

Our future success will depend on our ability to enhance our existing products, to introduce new products to meet changing customer requirements and emerging technologies as well as potential regulatory changes, and to demonstrate the performance advantages and cost-effectiveness of our products over competing products. This could be impacted not only by the features we offer in our products, but also by our ability to operate efficiently relative to those with whom we compete. For instance, if competitors with more resources than us are able to deploy efficiency enhancements into their operations more quickly than us (whether via significant investments in artificial intelligence or otherwise) they may be better positioned than us to more quickly enhance existing products or introduce new products that meet customer requirements or market demands. Failure by us to modify our products to support new alternative technologies or failure to achieve widespread customer acceptance of such modified products could cause us to lose market share and cause our revenue to decline. Further, if our competitors offer better service capabilities associated with the implementation and use of their products, our business could be impacted negatively.

We may experience delays in developing and marketing product enhancements or new products that respond to technological change, evolving industry standards or regulations and changing customer requirements. There can be no assurance that we will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction, and marketing of these products or product enhancements, or that our new products and product enhancements will meet the requirements of the marketplace adequately and achieve any significant or sustainable degree of market acceptance in existing or additional markets. Further, demand for products can fluctuate because of changes in technology generally which could also impact our sales of products. In addition, the future introductions or announcements of products by us or one of our competitors embodying new technologies or changes in industry standards or regulations or customer requirements could render our then-existing products obsolete or unmarketable. This risk may become more pronounced as new competitors emerge in markets where we sell our products, especially if these competitors have more resources than us to develop and market new products and technologies and provide related services. There can be no assurance that the introduction or announcement of new technologies into markets where we sell products or the introduction or announcement of product offerings by us or one or more of our competitors will not cause customers to defer their purchase of our existing products, which could cause our revenue to decline.

Potential new or incremental international tariffs could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Due to the global reach of our operations, changes in international trade policy could result in an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Additional or new tariffs imposed by various governments globally have the potential to disrupt existing supply chains and impose additional costs on our business. Existing and future retaliatory trade actions imposed by other governments, as well as possible price increases we may elect to charge, could make our products more expensive for customers, and, in turn, could make our products less competitive. Any existing or new, substantial tariff increases on imports within our supply chain or involving countries in which our contract manufacturers are located, should they be implemented and sustained for an extended period of time, could have a significant adverse effect on our business and our supply chain.
