Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUG), a leading golf technology company, announced today its results for the third quarter of 2024. The Company reported strong third quarter sales of $6,236,795, an increase of 82 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2023. EPS for the third quarter of 2024 was $0.00. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.1 million, inclusive of $148,000 of franchising expenses and zero franchising revenues recognized. The gains were driven by enthusiastic market adoption of new hardware and software products launched earlier this year.
“This strong third quarter growth is a direct result of the significant investment we have made in our technology over the past two years, “said Chief Executive Officer and Director Chris Jones. “We believe this is just the beginning of a dynamic growth period for TruGolf and the sports technology industry. In addition to our hardware and software sales, our franchise concept, launched in the third quarter, has an initial 120 franchise locations committed to coming online all throughout the United States. This franchise initiative represents the future of how users will engage with the sport and adds significant tailwinds to our growing technology sales. The enthusiastic adoption of our new Hardware, Software, and Web products, combined with the enthusiasm for our franchise concept, have led us to increase our full year revenue target and EBIDTA goals for 2024.”
