QT Imaging Holdings, Inc.

Financial Highlights

   -- Commercial revenue was $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, 
      compared to $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 and less than $0.1 
      million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Commercial revenue was $4.9 
      million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to less than $0.1 
      million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company shipped twelve 
      QT Breast Acoustic CTTM Scanners in 2024, compared to no shipments in 
      2023. 
 
   -- Gross margin of 47% in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 63% margin 
      in the third quarter of 2024 and a negative margin in the fourth quarter 
      of 2023. The decrease in margin in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 
      the third quarter of 2024 was attributable to variability in the weighted 
      average cost related to the Company's existing inventory in the third 
      quarter of 2024. The increase in margin in 2024 was due to the sale and 
      delivery of two QT Breast Acoustic CTTM Scanners during the fourth 
      quarter of 2024, compared to no deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2023. 
      Gross margin during the year ended December 31, 2024 was 54%, compared to 
      a negative margin during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company 
      did not have commercial revenue in 2023 and therefore the comparison of 
      gross margins is not meaningful. 
 
   -- Net loss of $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, which includes 
      convertible note interest expenses of $1.3 million and debt 
      extinguishment expense of $0.4 million, compared to a net loss of $3.6 
      million for the third quarter of 2024, which includes convertible note 
      interest expenses of $1.5 million. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 
      2023 was $1.5 million. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 
      $9.0 million, which included $3.6 million of non-cash interest expense, 
      $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.2 million of warrant 
      modification expense, $0.4 million of loss on debt extinguishment, and a 
      combined $8.0 million other income from decrease in fair value of 
      derivatives and earnout liabilities. Net loss for the year ended December 
      31, 2023 was $6.1 million, which included $0.7 million in stock-based 
      compensation, $0.4 million of debt conversion loss, and $0.2 induced 
      conversion expense. 
 
   -- Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA* of $(1.9) million for the fourth quarter of 
      2024 compared to $(0.8) million for the fourth quarter of 2023, and 
      $(7.3) million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $(2.9) 
      million for the year ended December 31, 2023. 
 
   -- Net cash used in operating activities during the fourth quarter of 2024 
      was $1.2 million compared to $0.7 million during the fourth quarter of 
      2023. Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended 
      December 31, 2024 was $10.0 million, compared to $2.7 million during the 
      year ended December 31, 2023.

(1)    The increase and decrease in fair value of warrant liability during the 
       three months and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, relates to 
       the liability classified private placement warrants to reflect the 
       increase and decrease of the publicly traded price per warrant. 
       Additional expense related to the modification of these warrants was 
       recorded as other expense in the consolidated statements of operations 
       and comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2024. 
(2)    The decrease in fair value of derivative liability during the three 
       months and year ended December 31, 2024 related to the Yorkville 
       Pre-paid Advance, which contained features that were bifurcated as 
       freestanding financial instruments and initially valued on March 4, 
       2024 upon consummation of the Merger. The derivative liability was 
       subsequently revalued as of December 31, 2024 for financial reporting 
       purposes. The change in derivative liability was recorded as change in 
       fair value of derivative liability in the consolidated statements of 
       operations and comprehensive loss during the three months and year 
       ended December 31, 2024. 
(3)    The earnout liability relates to the contingent consideration for the 
       Merger Earnout Consideration Shares pursuant to the Business 
       Combination Agreement dated December 8, 2022, as amended in September 
       2023. The earnout liability was initially valued using the Monte Carlo 
       Simulation method on March 4, 2024 and subsequently revalued using the 
       same method as of December 31, 2024. The net change in fair value of 
       the earnout liability was recognized as change in fair value of earnout 
       liability in the consolidated statements of operations and 
       comprehensive loss during the three months ended and year ended 
       December 31, 2024. 
(4)    The Company incurred transaction expenses related to the Merger with 
       GigCapital5, Inc., which closed on March 4, 2024. These transaction 
       expenses included a $3.7 million of transaction costs that were settled 
       with the issuance of common stock, $0.4 million of transaction costs 
       settled or payable in cash and a $0.2 million loss on issuance of 
       common stock in connection with a subscription agreement, which were 
       recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses in the 
       consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the 
       year ended December 31, 2024. The Company recorded $(0.2) million and 
       $1.0 million of transaction costs during the three months and year 
       ended December 31, 2023. The negative transaction cost of $0.2 million 
       during the three months ended December 31, 2023 was $0.2 million of 
       transaction costs offset by approximately $0.4 million of forgiven 
       accrued legal expenses related to the Merger.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "should," "would," "plan," "predict," "potential," "seem," "seek," "future," "outlook," and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the QT Imaging Breast Acoustic CT(TM) Scanner, including its commercialization, manufacturing (including large scale) and further development, the future repayment of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan, plans for QT Imaging, new product development and introduction, product sales growth and projected revenues, QT Imaging's industry, future events, and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those discussed in any such statement. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified herein, and on the current expectations of QT Imaging's management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by you or any other investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond our control. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those relating to: the ability of the Company to sell and deploy the QT Imaging Breast Acoustic CT(TM) Scanner; the ability to extend product offerings into new areas or products; the ability to commercialize technology; unexpected occurrences that deter the full documentation and "bring to market" plan for products; trends and fluctuations in the industry; changes in demand and purchasing volume of customers; unpredictability of suppliers; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and the ability to move product sales to production levels; changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the uncertainty of projected financial information; delays caused by factors outside of our control; changes in our ability to successfully receive purchase orders and

generate revenue under our existing contracts with partners and distributors; our ability to realize the benefits of the strategic partnerships; the identified material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting (including the timeline to remediate the material weakness); the rollout of the business and the timing of expected business milestones; the effects of competition on our future business; our ability to obtain and access financing in the future; our ability to pay our debt obligations as they come due; and those factors discussed in the Company's reports and other documents filed with the SEC, including under the heading "Risk Factors." If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that QT Imaging presently does not know or that QT Imaging currently believes are immaterial which could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect QT Imaging's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this release. QT Imaging anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause QT Imaging's assessments to change. However, while QT Imaging may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, QT Imaging specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The financial information and data contained in this press release is unaudited. Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP in our press release, we also report certain non-GAAP financial measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" refers to a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in such company's financial statements. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered measures of QT Imaging's liquidity. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of certain items, as defined in our non-GAAP definitions below, which are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even where similarly titled, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes and therefore should not be used to compare QT Imaging's performance to that of other companies. We endeavor to compensate for the limitation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measures and descriptions of the reconciling items and adjustments to derive the non-GAAP financial measures.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and analysts with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management to operate and analyze our business over different periods of time.

EBITDA is defined as loss before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for stock-based compensation, net change in fair value of the derivative, earnout and warrant liabilities, and transaction expenses, warrant modification expense, loss on debt extinguishment, debt conversion loss, and induced conversion expense. Similar excluded expenses may be incurred in future periods when calculating these measures. QT Imaging believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. QT Imaging believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends and in comparing QT Imaging's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.

Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP performance measure which is defined in the accompanying tables and is reconciled to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the tables above. The Company does not reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure (or otherwise describe such forward-looking GAAP measure) because it is not able to forecast the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impracticable for the Company to forecast. As a result, no guidance for the Company's net income (loss) or reconciliation of the Company's Adjusted EBITDA guidance is provided. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially significant impact on its future net income (loss).

We present reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables above.
