Executive Commentary
Mr. Chaohui Chen, Director and Chief Executive Officer of UCLOUDLINK, commented, "We closed out the year with a solid performance as our expanding GlocalMe ecosystem continues to gain growth momentum. Total revenues in 2024 increased 7.1% year-over-year to US$91.6 million with net income of US$4.6 million and net cash inflow from operations of US$9.2 million, the latter representing a significant 41.2% increase from last year. Total revenues from mainland China surged 97.4% year-over-year, indicating that our uCloudlink 1.0 international data connectivity solutions are being more widely adopted by consumers and are strengthening our leading position in the roaming market."
"The visibility and exposure of our GlocalMe Life and GlocalMe mobile/fixed broadband series of products are expanding rapidly as we continue to market them at major global expos and build out their retail presence through business partners and channels globally. We signed cooperation agreements during the fourth quarter to make these products widely available across airport retail locations in North America and are now actively negotiating to expand these partnerships across Europe soon. With additional products in these series already in development or set to launch imminently, we are working to replicate this process through other channels across North America and Europe to expand their exposure to a broader audience. Following successful small-scale commercial application of our soft cloud SIM technology with several leading manufacturers in the security camera, dashboard camera and other related sectors, the commercial application of our GlocalMe Internet of Things ("IoT") solutions scaled up significantly during the quarter. GlocalMe IoT user numbers are growing rapidly and are expected to ramp up going forward, allowing us to demonstrate the strength and capabilities of our solutions to an even broader audience across the IoT sector. We also made breakthroughs in the deployment of artificial intelligence ("AI") to enhance operational efficiency internally and improve the user experience of our solutions with AI-powered chat interfaces for travel assistance, ensuring seamless connectivity for users globally."
"As we look ahead to 2025, we have several exciting developments for people, IoT and pets, that will further expand the global exposure and visibility of our comprehensive solutions, delivering better connections for daily life and unlocking new revenue streams. Building on the momentum we picked up after attending CES 2025 earlier this year, we recently showcased further innovations at MWC Barcelona 2025, including PetPhone, eSIM TRIO, CloudSIM Kit, and HyperConn$(R)$ 5G mobile Wi-Fi hotspot with AI-driven Sky-to-Ground connectivity solutions, further strengthening the tailwinds behind our broader series of GlocalMe solutions. With these innovative solutions increasingly creating new revenue streams and scaling up our user base, I am confident we are on the right track to build an integrated and comprehensive global mobile data traffic sharing marketplace that will create long-term sustainable value for shareholders."

For 2025, UCLOUDLINK expects total revenues to be between US$95.0 million and US$130.0 million, representing an increase of 3.7% to 41.9% from 2024.
The above outlook is based on current market conditions and reflects the Company's preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, this press release presents, adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company's operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net income/(loss) is defined as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation, fair value gain/loss in other investment and share of profit/loss in equity method investment, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) excluding share-based compensation, fair value gain/loss in other investment, share of profit/loss in equity method investment, net of tax, interest expense, income tax expenses and depreciation and amortization.
The Company believes that adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that are included in income/(loss) from operations and net income/(loss). The Company believes that adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non- GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation, fair value gain/loss in other investment and share of profit/loss in equity method investment, net of tax, have been and may continue to be incurred in the Company's business and is not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income/(loss). Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
The Company compensate for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth at the end of this release.
