Overland Park, KS, May  21, 2025  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Ally, Inc. (NASDAQ: DGLY) (the “Company”), which develops, manufactures, and markets advanced video recording products and other critical safety products for a growing variety of industries and organizational functions, including law enforcement, emergency management, fleet safety and event security, today announced that it has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025 with the SEC. The Form 10-Q reflects significant improvements in gross profit, operating income (loss), and net income attributable to common stockholders in the first quarter of 2025 when compared with the prior-year period.

First Quarter Highlights:

Total revenue decreased 19% to $4.4 million, compared with total revenue of $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. Gross profit margin expanded to 35.8% of revenue vs. 27.6% in prior-year period.Selling, general and administrative expenses declined 50.1% from year-earlier levels.The Company reported an operating loss of $974,680, which represented an improvement of $2,664,354 or 73.2% when compared with the first quarter of 2024.The Company reported non-operating gains of $5,241,762, which represented an improvement of $5,545,996 when compared with the first quarter of 2024.Net income attributable to common stockholders improved to $4,263,471, or $1.41 per diluted share, compared with a year-earlier net loss of ($3,931,020), or ($27.48) per share.Total working capital improved to a positive $3,385,051 as of March 31, 2025, as compared to a deficit of $(19,377,507) as of December 31, 2024.Total stockholders’ equity improved to $11,569,375 as of March 31, 2025, as compared to a deficit of $(9,013,430) as of December 31, 2024.

“Our first quarter financial results, which included substantial non-operating gains and losses, clearly reflect the operating leverage inherent in our business model that has resulted from substantial decreases in overhead expenses, reduced headcount, and the focus on our subscription based sales model for our video solutions segment and the successful restructuring of our law enforcement products sales organization,” stated Stanton E. Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Ally, Inc. “Improved gross profit margins and a lower SG&A expense ratio allowed the Company to achieve a $2,664,354 improvement in operating income when compared to the similar period in 2024. Our ability to achieve these gains was particularly impressive in light of the continuation of a challenging economic environment, which has negatively impacted state, county and municipal government budgets that fund the law enforcement agencies that represent our primary customer base.”

“Additionally, we completed a $14.3 million public equity offering during the first quarter 2025 that significantly improved our liquidity and resulted in stockholders’ equity well in excess of the minimum $2.5 million equity threshold required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We continue to work to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq. The Company is committed to regaining and maintaining compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq.”

“We look towards the future with optimism. We anticipate our entertainment segment will improve its revenues and operating profits as we approach our June 26-28, 2025, Country Stampede Music Festival. While we recognize that the market for law enforcement products remains challenging and highly competitive, the steps taken by Digital Ally to reduce costs, streamline supply chain logistics, and incentivize sales efforts have transformed the Company into a lean organization that is capable of responding quickly to changes in our industry. The impressive earnings turnaround that we achieved during the first quarter of 2025 is very encouraging, and I would like to thank all of our employees, vendors, management and directors for the dedicated efforts and hard work that made the achievement of a profitable first quarter possible. We are highly focused upon the restoration of sustainable and growing profitability in order to rebuild shareholder value, and I look forward to reporting upon our results for the balance of the year,” concluded Ross.
