Non-GAAP Financial Measures Management considers earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted, an important indicator in evaluating the Company's business on a consistent basis across various periods. Due to the significance of non-recurring items, EBITDA, as adjusted, enables management to monitor and evaluate the business on a consistent basis. The Company uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as a primary measure, among others, to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and potential acquisitions. The Company believes that EBITDA, as adjusted, eliminates items that are not part of the Company's core operations, such as interest expense and amortization expense associated with intangible assets, or items that do not involve a cash outlay, such as share-based payments and non-recurring items, such as transaction costs. EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income (loss), net income (loss) and cash flows used in operating activities. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. Investors should review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business.

SKYX Platforms Corp. Announces Corporate Update Highlighting Russell 2000 Inclusion, Major Smart City Deployment, and Strategic Growth Initiatives
MIAMI, FL, June 26, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- SKYX Platforms Corp., opens new tab (NASDAQ: SKYX) ('SKYX' or the 'Company'), a highly disruptive smart home platform technology company with more than 97 issued and pending patents globally, today provided a comprehensive corporate update ahead of several key milestones. The Company also operates a growing portfolio of over 60 lighting and home décor e-commerce sites, reinforcing its mission to make homes and buildings smart, safe, and advanced as the new standard. SKYX announced that it will officially be added to the Russell 2000 Index following the market close on June 27, 2025. This inclusion represents a significant milestone and reinforces the Company's visibility among institutional investors and the broader financial community. In parallel, SKYX revealed its central role in enabling a transformative $3 billion mixed-use Smart Urban City project in Miami's Little River District. As part of this initiative, SKYX will deploy over 500,000 units of its advanced plug & play smart home technologies, including its AI-powered smart ecosystem, across the entire 63-acre development. The project will include more than 5,700 condos and apartments, a significant allocation for workforce and affordable housing, over 350,000 square feet of retail space, 1.5 million square feet of green walkways, parks, bike paths, shuttle lanes, and a $35 million Tri-Rail station. World-renowned architectural firm Arquitectonica is leading the project's design, while development is spearheaded by SG Holdings—a joint venture between the Swerdlow Group, SJM Partners, and Alben Duffie, each with a legacy of major urban developments. Financially, SKYX continues to gain strong backing from U.S. and international manufacturers in support of its large-scale product deployments. This support underscores investor confidence in the scalability and market demand for SKYX's smart home innovations. As of March 31, 2025, SKYX reported $35 million in cash, sufficient to execute its near-term strategic goals and achieve cash-flow positivity in 2025. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company generated record revenues of $20.1 million, up from $18.9 million in the same period the previous year, while also reducing general and administrative expenses by 17%, from $7.9 million to $6.6 million. SKYX also improved its gross margins and gross profit sequentially. Anticipating strong seasonal demand, SKYX is preparing for a Q3 launch of its disruptive All-In-One Smart Turbo Heater & Ceiling Fan, with manufacturing already underway through long-term partners. The Company will launch two models of the patented product, targeting the multi-billion-dollar ceiling fan and space heater market. SKYX expects its products to be in 30,000 U.S. and Canadian homes by the end of the second quarter of 2025, with tens of thousands more to follow in the second half of the year. To further support its growth, SKYX secured $15 million in preferred stock investments at $2 per share from strategic investors led by The Shaner Group, a major global Marriott Hotels chain owner. The round also saw significant participation from company insiders, including President Steve Schmidt and co-CEOs Lenny Sokolow and John Campi, signaling strong internal confidence in the Company's vision and trajectory. In a major manufacturing development, SKYX announced a strategic U.S. partnership with Profab Electronics, a premier electronic contract manufacturer based in Pompano Beach, Florida. This collaboration complements the Company's manufacturing operations across Vietnam, Taiwan, China, and Cambodia, strengthening SKYX's commitment to building a resilient and efficient supply chain. SKYX continues to pursue national safety standardization of its ceiling outlet and receptacle technology. Its Safety Code Standardization Team, led by Mark Earley (former head of the National Electrical Code) and Eric Jacobson (former president and CEO of the American Lighting Association), is now backed by a prominent new leader from a key government safety organization. SKYX has already secured ANSI/NEMA approval and has been voted into 10 segments of the NEC Code Book. The Company expects that its technology, once the full range of product variations is complete, will be recommended by insurance companies due to its potential to reduce fires, ladder falls, and electrocutions. SKYX continues to build recurring revenue streams through a 'Razor & Blades' business model. The Company's ceiling electrical outlet (Razor) serves as the foundation for a range of plug & play smart products (Blades), including lighting, fans, recessed lights, emergency fixtures, chandeliers, and more. The Company's technology enables high-rise buildings and hotels to complete installations in days rather than months, providing an efficient and scalable solution for large-scale construction projects. With an addressable market of approximately $500 billion in the U.S. and over 4.2 billion ceiling applications, SKYX is expanding both in the retail and professional segments. The Company generates revenue through product sales, licensing, royalties, subscriptions, monitoring, and global country rights. In addition to leveraging its 60+ e-commerce platforms, SKYX collaborates with major retailers including Home Depot and Wayfair to distribute its full suite of advanced and smart plug & play products. Strategic partnerships also continue to accelerate SKYX's market reach. These include collaborations with leading lighting manufacturers such as Kichler, Quoizel, EGLO, and Ruee, as well as integration into premium homes built by Cavco Homes, a top U.S. prefabricated home builder. SKYX's technology will be installed across three luxury Forte Developments in Florida, totaling over 12,000 products across more than 400 units. Additionally, a 1,000-unit mixed-use project by Jeremiah Baron Companies will incorporate SKYX's technologies, with initial deliveries to 140 units and more throughout the construction cycle. To support distribution, SKYX has entered a strategic agreement with JIT Electrical Supply, a leading builder supplier that has served over 100,000 U.S. homes. JIT will distribute SKYX's lighting and smart products beginning in early 2025. In a key leadership move, SKYX welcomed Huey Long, former Amazon e-commerce director and executive at Walmart and Ashley Furniture, as the new head of its e-commerce division. Long will work closely with SKYX's existing team to expand market penetration across its digital platforms and leading North American e-commerce channels. About SKYX Platforms Corp.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Management considers earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted, an important indicator in evaluating the Company's business on a consistent basis across various periods. Due to the significance of non-recurring items, EBITDA, as adjusted, enables management to monitor and evaluate the business on a consistent basis. The Company uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as a primary measure, among others, to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and potential acquisitions. The Company believes that EBITDA, as adjusted, eliminates items that are not part of the Company's core operations, such as interest expense and amortization expense associated with intangible assets, or items that do not involve a cash outlay, such as share-based payments and non-recurring items, such as transaction costs. EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income (loss), net income (loss) and cash flows used in operating activities. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. Investors should review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business.
