Algorhythm Holdings (NASDAQ: RIME) reported its 2024 financial results, showing revenue of $23.5 million compared to $29.2 million in the nine-month period of 2023. The company experienced increased losses, with net loss rising to $24.4 million in 2024 from $6.1 million in 2023.
The company is transforming from a consumer electronics company to an AI-driven logistics company following the acquisition of SemiCab’s US business. Key developments include raising over $10 million in capital, reducing inventory by 68%, and maintaining $7.6 million cash on hand. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to reduced karaoke product sales.
Of the 2024 net loss, $16.7 million was attributed to non-cash expenses, including a $3.6 million goodwill impairment charge and an $8.9 million warrant-related charge. The company plans to complete the acquisition of SemiCab India and is evaluating strategic alternatives for its Singing Machine business, including a potential sale.
Algorhythm Holdings (NASDAQ: RIME) ha riportato i risultati finanziari del 2024, con un fatturato di 23,5 milioni di dollari rispetto ai 29,2 milioni di dollari registrati nei primi nove mesi del 2023. L’azienda ha registrato perdite maggiori, con una perdita netta salita a 24,4 milioni di dollari nel 2024 rispetto ai 6,1 milioni del 2023.
La società sta passando da un’azienda di elettronica di consumo a una compagnia logistica guidata dall’intelligenza artificiale dopo l’acquisizione del business statunitense di SemiCab. Tra gli sviluppi principali vi sono la raccolta di oltre 10 milioni di dollari di capitale, la riduzione dell’inventario del 68% e il mantenimento di 7,6 milioni di dollari di liquidità disponibile. Il calo dei ricavi è dovuto principalmente alla diminuzione delle vendite di prodotti karaoke.
Del totale della perdita netta del 2024, 16,7 milioni di dollari sono attribuibili a spese non monetarie, tra cui una svalutazione dell’avviamento di 3,6 milioni di dollari e un onere di 8,9 milioni legato ai warrant. L’azienda prevede di completare l’acquisizione di SemiCab India e sta valutando opzioni strategiche per il suo business Singing Machine, inclusa una possibile vendita.

Algorhythm Holdings (NASDAQ : RIME) a annoncé ses résultats financiers pour 2024, affichant un chiffre d’affaires de 23,5 millions de dollars contre 29,2 millions sur la période de neuf mois en 2023. L’entreprise a enregistré des pertes accrues, avec une perte nette passant à 24,4 millions de dollars en 2024 contre 6,1 millions en 2023.
L’entreprise se transforme d’une société d’électronique grand public en une entreprise logistique pilotée par l’IA suite à l’acquisition de l’activité américaine de SemiCab. Les développements clés incluent une levée de fonds de plus de 10 millions de dollars, une réduction des stocks de 68 % et la conservation de 7,6 millions de dollars en liquidités. La baisse du chiffre d’affaires est principalement due à la diminution des ventes de produits de karaoké.
Sur la perte nette de 2024, 16,7 millions de dollars sont attribués à des charges non monétaires, comprenant une dépréciation du goodwill de 3,6 millions et une charge liée aux warrants de 8,9 millions. La société prévoit de finaliser l’acquisition de SemiCab India et évalue des alternatives stratégiques pour son activité Singing Machine, y compris une éventuelle vente.
Algorhythm Holdings (NASDAQ: RIME) meldete seine Finanzergebnisse für 2024 mit einem Umsatz von 23,5 Millionen US-Dollar im Vergleich zu 29,2 Millionen US-Dollar im neunmonatigen Zeitraum 2023. Das Unternehmen verzeichnete höhere Verluste, wobei der Nettoverlust 2024 auf 24,4 Millionen US-Dollar anstieg, verglichen mit 6,1 Millionen US-Dollar im Jahr 2023.
Das Unternehmen wandelt sich von einem Unterhaltungselektronikunternehmen zu einem KI-gesteuerten Logistikunternehmen, nachdem es das US-Geschäft von SemiCab übernommen hat. Wichtige Entwicklungen umfassen die Beschaffung von über 10 Millionen US-Dollar Kapital, eine Bestandsreduzierung um 68 % und die Aufrechterhaltung von 7,6 Millionen US-Dollar an liquiden Mitteln. Der Umsatzrückgang ist hauptsächlich auf geringere Karaoke-Produktverkäufe zurückzuführen.
Von dem Nettoverlust 2024 entfielen 16,7 Millionen US-Dollar auf nicht zahlungswirksame Aufwendungen, darunter eine Goodwill-Abschreibung von 3,6 Millionen US-Dollar und ein 8,9 Millionen US-Dollar hoher Aufwand im Zusammenhang mit Warrants. Das Unternehmen plant den Abschluss der Übernahme von SemiCab India und prüft strategische Alternativen für sein Singing Machine-Geschäft, einschließlich eines möglichen Verkaufs.
Algorhythm Holdings’ 2024 financial results reveal a company in transition with significantly deteriorating performance. Revenue decreased to $23.5 million for the full year 2024 compared to $29.2 million for just nine months in 2023, representing a substantial decline when normalized. More concerning is the net loss ballooning to $24.4 million from $6.1 million in the prior period.
While management attributes $16.7 million of this loss to non-cash expenses, including a $3.6 million goodwill impairment and $8.9 million warrant-related charge, the adjusted net loss still increased significantly to $7.6 million from $2.6 million. The company’s gross margin also contracted to 20.4% from 21.2%.
The strategic pivot from karaoke products to AI-driven logistics represents a complete business transformation with substantial execution risk. Management explicitly acknowledges declining karaoke sales due to tariffs on Chinese-manufactured products and loss of retail shelf space, while the newly acquired SemiCab business had “negligible revenue” at acquisition time despite the goodwill recorded.
The balance sheet shows some positive developments with inventory reduction of 68% (from $6.9 million to $2.2 million) and increased cash position of $7.6 million. However, with a market cap of approximately $6.2 million against annual losses exceeding $24 million, investors should carefully assess whether the strategic pivot can generate sufficient revenue growth to offset the ongoing cash burn before the company’s financial position deteriorates further.
Algorhythm’s strategic pivot from consumer electronics to AI-powered logistics represents a dramatic business model transformation that carries significant challenges. The company has essentially abandoned its core competency in karaoke products to enter the highly competitive freight technology sector dominated by well-established players.
The acquisition of SemiCab’s US operations, with “negligible revenue” at purchase time, suggests the company bought primarily for technology and potential rather than established market position. This aligns with the $3.6 million goodwill impairment, indicating the acquisition’s book value exceeded its fair value almost immediately.
The pilot contracts with Apollo Tyres and two CPG manufacturers provide some validation, but SemiCab appears to be in very early commercial stages. Management’s claims about “substantial growth in week-over-week revenue” lack specific metrics and start from an extremely low base.
The technology value proposition remains vague in the announcement. While “AI-enabled freight tech logistics” sounds promising, the company provides no details on technological differentiation, competitive advantages, or specific AI applications that would allow investors to evaluate potential success against established logistics platforms.
With the legacy business declining due to tariffs and retail challenges, and the new AI logistics venture pre-revenue or early-revenue, Algorhythm faces a precarious transition period where it must fund the development of a new business line while managing the controlled decline of its original revenue source. The company’s ability to execute this transition with $7.6 million cash on hand against significant ongoing losses presents a substantial challenge.
Fort Lauderdale, FL, April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: RIME) – an AI technology and consumer electronics holding company, announced today its results of operations for the twelve months period ended December 31, 2024.
2024 Financial Highlights*
A reconciliation of adjusted loss from operations and adjusted net loss on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is included in the table below entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
*During 2023, the Company changed fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. In accordance with SEC regulations, the Company’s consolidated financial statements consisted of balance sheets at December 31, 2024 and 2023 and its statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023. All numbers presented in this press release reflect these periods.
2024 Overview
“This past year marked a pivotal and exciting time for Algorhythm Holdings,” stated Gary Atkinson, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “During the year, we began the process of transforming the company from a consumer electronics company offering karaoke products to an artificial intelligence (AI) company offering freight technology services to the transportation industry.”
“Let me briefly recap the several noteworthy achievements and organizational changes that we made during the past 12 months to support the long-term profitability of Algorhythm Holdings:
Additionally, through service agreements, we have been investing in the growth and development of SemiCab, Inc.’s India business (SemiCab India). SemiCab India onboarded a number of notable pilot contracts onto SemiCab, Inc.’s AI logistics platform during the past year, including Apollo Tyres, a top ten global tire manufacturer based in India and two multinational consumer packaged goods manufacturers. These contracts, among others, have resulted in substantial growth in its week-over-week revenue. We plan to complete the acquisition of SemiCab India later this month.”
Financial Summary
“We generated $23.5 million of revenue this past year compared to $29.2 million for the nine-month comparative period in 2023,” commented Alex Andre, CFO and General Counsel of the Company. “The decrease was primarily due to decreases in sales of our karaoke products to one of our retailers that resulted from us not participating in its national Black Friday promotion and a loss of retail shelf space at another retailer. We expect sales of our karaoke products to decrease over the next 12 months due to the negative impact on our business of recently implemented tariffs on our products manufactured in China. However, we expect revenue generated from our SemiCab business to increase over the next 12 months as we generate more business from our customer base in the United States and integrate revenue generated by SemiCab India upon our acquisition of the company later this month.”
“Our net loss was $24.4 million this past year compared to $6.1 million for the nine-month comparative period in 2023. The increase was due primarily to a substantial increase in non-cash expenses that we incurred in connection with our acquisition of SemiCab’s US business in July 2024 and the capital raising activities that we engaged in during Q4 2024. Of our 2024 net loss, $16.7 million was for non-cash expenses. The most significant components of these non-cash expenses were a one-time charge of $3.6 million for goodwill impairment and a one-time, non-cash charge of $8.9 million for warrants that we issued in December 2024 as part of a capital raise. As a result, after deducting all of the non-cash expenses, our adjusted net loss was $7.6 million for 2024.”
The impairment of goodwill charge was associated with the Company’s acquisition of SemiCab, Inc.’s US business. The partial write-off of goodwill was expected as the Company’s SemiCab business is a nascent, emerging business that the Company purchased for its technology, management team and customer contracts, but that had negligible revenue at the time it was acquired. The warrants that the Company issued in December 2024 were subject to certain contingencies that resulted in the Company having to record a warrant liability of $16.6 million on its balance sheet and a loss of $8.9 million on its income statement. All of the contingencies that the warrants were subject to were satisfied or became moot in January 2025. As a result, the Company expects the entire warrant liability to reverse out(?) and be reclassified to equity on its balance sheet for its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Outlook
“We are very excited for what 2025 has in store for us, notwithstanding the precarious economic environment that world is maneuvering through,” added Mr. Atkinson. “The foundation of our strategy moving forward will be the continued growth and development of SemiCab, our AI-enabled freight tech logistics and distribution business. The opportunity in this segment of the AI space is very large, and SemiCab, with its cutting-edge technology, is receiving a lot of interest from multinational, Fortune 500 customers as a result. In furtherance of this strategy, we are also evaluating strategic alternatives for our Singing Machine business, including a potential sale of the business. The continued investment in our legacy karaoke and consumer electronics products no longer aligns with our shift to the AI logistics and distribution industry.”
“Our future is brighter than it has ever been. The decisions we’ve made have been bold and decisive to try to turn around the Company. We believe we are making the right investments in the people, assets and companies to allow us to grow quickly and efficiently during 2025. When I reflect upon how far we’ve come during the past year, I could not be more motivated and optimistic about what we will achieve in the future.”
