REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of SmartRent, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SmartRent, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
SmartRent, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), is an enterprise real estate technology company that provides comprehensive management software and applications designed for property owners, managers and residents. Its suite of products and services, which includes both smart building hardware and cloud-based "SaaS" solutions, provides seamless visibility and control over real estate assets. The Company’s solutions can help lower operating costs, increase revenue, mitigate operational friction and protect assets for owners and operators, while providing a differentiated, elevated living experience for residents. The Company is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 include the consolidated accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements herein.
Foreign Currency
SmartRent, Inc.'s functional and reporting currency is United States Dollars (“USD”) and its foreign subsidiaries have a functional currency other than USD. Financial position and results of operations of the Company's international subsidiaries are measured using local currencies as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. The Company's international subsidiaries' statements of operations accounts are translated at the weighted-average rates of exchange prevailing during each reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing currency exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency exchange transactions, as well as translation gains or losses on transactions denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency, are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Liquidity
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Management believes that currently available resources will provide sufficient funds to enable the Company to meet its obligations for at least one year past the issuance date of these financial statements. The Company may need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing to fund future operations until it generates positive operating cash flows. There can be no assurance that such additional equity or debt financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. These estimates made by management include valuing the Company’s inventories on hand, allowance for expected credit losses, intangible assets, earnout liabilities, warranty liabilities, stand-alone selling price of items sold, and certain assumptions used in the valuation of equity awards, including the estimated fair value of common stock warrants, and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation expense. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Acquisitions
In March 2022, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of SightPlan in an acquisition that meets the definition of a business combination, for which the acquisition method of accounting was used (see Note 14). The acquisition was recorded on the date that the Company obtained control over the acquired business. The consideration paid was determined on the acquisition date. The acquisition-related costs, such as professional fees, were excluded from the consideration transferred and were recorded as expense in the period incurred. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company were recorded at their estimated fair values, while goodwill was measured as the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
The Company follows the two-class method to include the dilutive effect of securities that participated in dividends, if and when declared, when computing net income per common share. The two-class method determines net income per common share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends, if and when declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The anti-dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is excluded from the computation of net loss per share because inclusion of such potentially dilutive shares on an as-converted basis would have been anti-dilutive.
The Company considers any unvested common shares subject to repurchase to be participating securities because holders of such shares have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event a dividend is paid on common stock. The holders of unvested shares of common stock subject to repurchase do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses.
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for outstanding shares that are subject to repurchase and any shares issuable by the exercise of warrants for nominal consideration.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. For periods in which the Company reports a net loss, the diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders, because inclusion of such potentially dilutive shares on an as-converted basis would have been anti-dilutive.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at multiple financial institutions, and, at times, these balances exceed federally insurable limits. As a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. The Company believes any risks are mitigated through the size and security of the financial institution at which its cash balances are held.

Restricted Cash
The Company considers cash to be restricted when withdrawal or general use is legally restricted. The Company reports the current portion of restricted cash as a separate item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the non-current portion is a component of other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determines current or non-current classification based on the expected duration of the restriction.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable consist of balances due from customers resulting from the sale of hardware, professional services and Hosted Services. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, are non-interest bearing and are presented net of the associated allowance for expected credit losses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The allowance for expected credit losses totaled $ 2,797 and $ 1,361 as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. The provision for expected credit losses is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The provision for expected credit losses totaled $ 1,436 , $ 819 and $ 242 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company evaluates the collectability of the accounts receivable balances and has determined the allowance for expected credit losses based on a combination of factors, which include th e nature of the relationship and the prior collection experience the Company has with the account and an evaluation for current and projected economic conditions as of the Consolidated Balance Sheets date. Accounts receivable determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for expected credit losses. Actual collections of accounts receivable could differ from management’s estimates.

Inventory
Inventories, which are comprised of smart home equipment and components, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined under the first-in, first-out method. The Company adjusts the inventory balance based on anticipated obsolescence, usage and historical write-offs.
In August 2023, the Company entered into the Agreement with ADI, pursuant to which, ADI agreed to serve as the Company's non-exclusive hardware fulfillment partner throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. The Company is subject to certain buy-back provisions relating to the transferred inventory. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $ 537 and $ 851 in connection with the buy-back provision, which is recorded in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over net assets of the Company's completed business combinations. The Company tests for potential impairment of goodwill on an annual basis as of September 30 to determine if the carrying value is less than the fair value. The Company will conduct additional tests between annual tests if there are indications of potential goodwill impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company conducted an interim test as of July 31, 2024 following the departure of the Company's former Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and decline in the Company's stock price. The Company concluded that goodwill was no t impaired as of July 31, 2024. No goodwill impairment has been recorded as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 .
Intangible Assets
The Company recorded intangible assets with finite lives, including customer relationships and developed technology, as a result of acquisitions made in prior years. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis based on their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life of these intangible assets are as follows.

Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs of improvements that extend the economic life or improve service potential are capitalized. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Repairs and maintenance expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $ 21 , $ 26 and $ 50 , respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, intangible assets and operating lease right of use assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets, or asset groups, is measured by comparing the carrying amounts of such assets or asset groups to the future undiscounted cash flows that such assets or asset groups are expected to generate. If such assets are impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Leases
The Company classifies an arrangement as a lease at inception by determining if the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. If the arrangement is identified as a lease, classification is determined at the commencement of the arrangement. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date.
The Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate to discount future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the interest rate that the Company would expect to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment over a similar term. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before commencement, initial direct costs and lease incentives. Certain leases also include options to renew or terminate the lease at the election of the Company. The Company evaluates these options at lease inception and on an ongoing basis. Renewal and termination options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise are included when classifying leases and measuring lease liabilities. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component for all classes of assets. Lease payments for short-term leases with a term of twelve months or less are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases are included in other long-term assets, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities.
Warranty Allowance
The Company provides its customers with limited-service warranties associated with product replacement and related services. The warranty typically lasts one year following the installation of the product. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in hardware cost of revenue, are based on the results of product testing, industry and historical trends and warranty claim rates incurred and are adjusted for identified current or anticipated future trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, warranty expense included in cost of hardware revenue was $ 261 , $ 2,142 and $ 852 , respectively. The lower warranty expense during the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to the Company's release of an $ 864 accrual related to the replacement of deficient batteries as disclosed in the paragraph below. As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company’s warranty allowance was $ 1,077 and $ 2,215 , respectively, and is recorded in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company identified a deficiency with batteries contained in certain hardware sold and included an estimate of the expected cost to remove these batteries, which were acquired from one supplier, in its warranty allowance. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined the battery replacements were complete and released the remaining warranty accrual of $ 864 related to the battery deficiency. As of December 31, 2024 , there is no amount in the Company’s warranty allowance related to the remaining cost of replacement for this identified battery deficiency. As of December 31, 2023, $ 864 is included in the Company’s warranty allowance related to the remaining cost of replacement for this identified battery deficiency.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company identified a deficiency with the firmware and sensor accuracy of certain hardware sold and included an estimate of the expected cost to update the related firmware and hardware in its warranty allowance. As of December 31, 2023 , $ 410 is included in the Company’s warranty allowance related to the remaining cost to perform the firmware and hardware updates. The affected hardware and firmware was fully updated during 2024, and therefore, a s of December 31, 2024 , there is no amount in the Company's warranty allowance related to the remaining cost to perform the firmware and hardware updates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities subject to on-going fair value measurement are categorized and disclosed into one of three categories depending on observable or unobservable inputs employed in the measurement. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy.
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
This hierarchy requires the Company to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the hierarchy based on the fair values of the respective financial measurements at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2023. The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily from sales of systems that consist of hardware devices, professional services and Hosted Services to assist property owners and property managers with visibility and control over assets, while providing all-in-one home control offerings for residents. Revenue is recorded when control of these products and services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those products and services.
The Company may enter into contracts that contain multiple distinct performance obligations. The transaction price for a typical arrangement includes the price for: smart home hardware devices, professional services, and a subscription for use of the Company's software (“Hosted Services”). Included in these contracts are centrally connected devices ("Hub Devices"), which integrate the Company’s enterprise software with third party smart devices. Historically, the Company only sold non-distinct Hub Devices. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company began shipping Hub Devices with features that function independently from its software subscription ("distinct Hub Devices"). Non-distinct Hub Devices are recognized as a single performance obligation with the Company’s software in Hosted Services revenue, while distinct Hub Devices are recognized as a separate performance obligation in hardware revenue. When distinct Hub Devices are included in a contract, the Hosted Services performance obligation is comprised of only the Company’s software.
The Company considers delivery for each of the hardware, professional services and Hosted Services to be separate performance obligations. The hardware performance obligation includes the delivery of smart home hardware and distinct Hub Devices. The professional services performance obligation includes the services to install the hardware. The Hosted Services performance obligation provides a subscription that allows the customer access to software during the contracted-use term when the promised service is provided to the customer. Also included in the hosted service performance obligation are non-distinct Hub Devices that only function with a subscription to the Company’s software.
Payments are received by the Company by check or automated clearing house payments and payment terms are determined by individual contracts and generally range from due upon receipt to net 30 days . Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in reported revenue. Payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognition are reported as deferred revenue. The Company has elected the following practical expedients following the adoption of ASC 606 :
• Shipping and handling costs: the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as fulfillment activities (i.e., an expense) rather than as a promised service and are recorded as hardware cost of revenue. Amounts billed for shipping and handling fees are recorded as revenue.

SMARTRENT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
• Sales tax collected from customers: the Company elected to exclude from the measurement of transaction price all taxes assessed by a government authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from a customer.
• Measurement of the transaction price: the Company applies the practical expedient that allows for inclusion of the future auto-renewals in the initial measurement of the transaction price. The Company only applies these steps when it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to a customer.
• Significant financing component: the Company elected not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of promised goods or services and when the customer pays for the goods or services will be one year or less.
Timing of Revenue Recognition is as follows.
• Hardware Revenue
Hardware revenue results from the direct sale to customers of hardware smart home devices, which devices generally consist of a distinct Hub Device, door locks, thermostats, sensors, and light switches. These hardware devices provide features that function independently without subscription to the Company's software, and the performance obligation for hardware revenue is considered satisfied, and revenue is recognized at a point in time when the hardware device is shipped to the customer. The Company generally provides a one-year warranty period on hardware devices that are delivered and installed. The cost of the warranty is recorded as a component of cost of hardware revenue.
• Professional Services Revenue
Professional services revenue results from installing smart home hardware devices, which does not result in significant customization of the product and is generally performed over a period from two to four weeks. Installations can be performed by the Company's employees, contracted out to a third-party with the Company's employees managing the engagement, or the customer can perform the installation themselves. The Company’s professional services contracts are generally arranged on a fixed price basis, and revenue is recognized over the period in which the installations are completed.
• Hosted Services Revenue
Hosted Services revenue primarily consists of monthly subscription revenue generated from fees that provide customers access to one or more of the Company’s software applications including access controls, asset monitoring and related services, and our Community WiFi solution, which provides communities with a private, device-dedicated WiFi network. These subscription arrangements have contractual terms ranging from one month to ten years and include recurring fixed plan subscription fees. Arrangements with customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the Company’s software at any time. Customers are granted continuous access to the services over the contractual period. Accordingly, fees collected for subscription services are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term beginning on the date the subscription service is made available to the customer. Variable consideration is immaterial.
Also included in Hosted Services revenue are non-distinct Hub Devices. The Company considers those devices and hosting services subscription a single performance obligation and therefore defers the recognition of revenue for those devices upon shipment to the customer. The revenue is then amortized over its average service life. When a non-distinct Hub Device is included in a contract that does not require a long-term service commitment, the customer obtains a material right to renew the service because purchasing a new device is not required upon renewal. If a contract contains a material right, proceeds are allocated to the material right and recognized over the period of benefit, which is generally four years .

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of direct costs of products and services together with the indirect cost of estimated warranty expense and customer care and support over the life of the service arrangement.
• Hardware
Cost of hardware revenue consists primarily of direct costs of products, such as the distinct Hub Device, hardware devices, supplies purchased from third-party providers, and shipping costs, together with indirect costs related to warehouse facilities (including depreciation and amortization of capitalized assets and right-of-use assets), infrastructure costs, personnel-related costs associated with the procurement and distribution of products and warranty expenses together with the indirect cost of customer care and support.
• Professional Services
Cost of professional services revenue consists primarily of direct costs related to personnel-related expenses for installation and supervision of installation services, general contractor expenses and travel expenses associated with the installation of products and indirect costs that are also primarily personnel-related expenses in connection with training of and ongoing support for customers and residents.
• Hosted Services
Cost of Hosted Services revenue consists primarily of the amortization of the direct costs of non-distinct Hub Devices, consistent with the revenue recognition period noted above in "Hosted Services Revenue", and infrastructure costs associated with providing software applications together with the indirect cost of customer care and support over the life of the service arrangement.
Deferred Cost of Revenue
Deferred cost of revenue includes all direct costs included in cost of revenue for Hosted Services and non-distinct Hub Devices that have been deferred to future periods.
Stock-Based Compensation
Our stock-based compensation consists of stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted to our employees and directors during the periods presented. Stock-based awards are measured based on the grant date fair value. We estimate the fair value of stock option awards on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of RSUs is based on the grant date fair value of the stock price. The fair value of these awards is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period in which the awards are expected to vest. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur by reversing previously recognized compensation expense.
The Black-Scholes model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of stock-based awards. These variables include the per share fair value of the underlying common stock, exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected annual dividend yield, and the expected stock price volatility over the expected term and forfeitures, which are recognized as they occur. For all stock options granted, we calculated the expected term using the simplified method for “plain vanilla” stock option awards.

Research and Development
These expenses relate to the research and development of new products and services and enhancements to the Company’s existing product offerings. The Company accounts for the cost of research and development by capitalizing qualifying costs, which are incurred during the product development stage, and amortizing those costs over the product’s estimated useful life, which generally ranges from three to five years depending on the type of application. The Company expenses preliminary evaluation costs as they are incurred before the product development stage, as well as post development implementation and operation costs, such as training, maintenance and minor upgrades. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company capitalized $ 5,270 , $ 3,919 and $ 2,746 , respectively, of research and development costs in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had capitalized $ 12,334 of research and development costs in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, of which $ 9,543 remained to be amortized. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had capitalized $ 7,064 of research and development costs in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, of which $ 6,163 remains to be amortized.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and recorded as a component of sales and marketing expense. The Company incurred $ 650 , $ 432 and $ 292 of advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Segments
The Company has one operating segment and one reportable segment. Its chief operating decision maker ("CODM") was the Company's Chief Executive Officer until the Chief Executive Officer’s resignation on July 29, 2024. On that date, a management committee comprised of certain of the Company’s then executives became the CODM until February 24, 2025 (the “Start Date”) and effective the Start Date, the Company appointed a new President and Chief Executive Officer who currently acts as the CODM . The CODM reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s principal operations are in the United States and the Company’s long-lived assets are located primarily within the United States.

NOTE 6. DEBT
Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit Facility
In December 2021, the Company entered into a $ 75,000 Senior Revolving Facility with a five-year term (the "Senior Revolving Facility"). The Senior Revolving Facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility in the aggregate availability of $ 10,000 as a sublimit of the Senior Revolving Facility, and a swingline sub-facility in the aggregate availability of $ 10,000 as a sublimit of the Senior Revolving Facility. Proceeds from the Senior Revolving Facility are to be used for general corporate purposes. Amounts borrowed under the Senior Revolving Facility may be repaid and, prior to the Senior Revolving Facility maturity date, reborrowed. The Senior Revolving Facility terminates on the Senior Revolving Facility maturity date in December 2026 , when the principal amount of all advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other obligations relating to the Senior Revolving Facility shall be immediately due and payable. The Company has yet to draw on the Senior Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2024. The Company accounted for the cancellation of its previous revolving facility and the issuance of the Senior Revolving Facility as an exchange with the same creditor. As a result, all costs related to entering into the Senior Revolving Facility that are allowed to be deferred are recorded as a deferred asset and included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs totaled $ 688 and will be amortized ratably over the five-year term of the Senior Revolving Facility. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $ 146 , $ 136 and $ 147 , respectively, of amortization expense in connection with these costs, as a component of interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Interest rates for draws upon the Senior Revolving Facility are determined by whether the Company elects a secured overnight financing rate loan (“SOFR Loan”) or alternate base rate loan (”ABR Loan”). For SOFR Loans, the interest rate is based upon the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR as published by the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (CBA) plus 0.10 %, subject to a floor of 0.00 %, plus an applicable margin. For ABR Loans, the interest rate is based upon the highest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50 %, or (iii) 3.25 %, plus an applicable margin. As of December 31, 2024, the applicable margins for SOFR Loans and ABR Loans under the Senior Revolving Facility were 1.75 % and ( 0.50 %) , respectively.
In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal balance under the Senior Revolving Facility, the Company is required to pay a facility fee to the lender in respect of the unused commitments thereunder. The facility fee rate is based on the daily unused amount of the Senior Revolving Facility and is one fourth of one percent ( 0.25 %) per annum based on the unused facility amount. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the facility fee totaled $ 181 , $ 188 and $ 190 , respectively.
The Senior Revolving Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Such covenants will, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to (i) engage in certain mergers or consolidations, (ii) sell, lease or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (iii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates, (iv) make changes in the nature of the Company’s business and its subsidiaries, and (v) incur additional indebtedness that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Senior Revolving Facility.
The Senior Revolving Facility also requires the Company, on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries, to maintain a minimum cash balance. If the minimum cash balance is not maintained, the Company is required to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio. If an event of default occurs, the lender is entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Senior Revolving Facility and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. As of December 31, 2024, and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, the Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenants.
The Senior Revolving Facility is collateralized by first priority or equivalent security interests in substantially all the property, rights, and assets of the Company.
As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no outstanding principal amount under the Senior Revolving Facility.

Warrants
As of December 31, 2024 , warrants issued as consideration to certain customers to purchase 3,663 shares of Class A Common Stock at $ 0.01 per share were no longer outstanding. The vesting of the warrants was dependent on the number of installed units, as defined by the warrant agreements, purchased by the customer with certain measurement periods which expired in February 2024 . The fair value of the vested warrants was recorded as additional paid-in capital and contra-revenue on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, respectively. Based on the count of installed units as of February 2024, the number of warrants to vest is zero and as of December 31, 2023, the Company removed $ 193 from additional paid-in-capital and contra-revenue on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. There was no contra-revenue recorded related to these warrants during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Stock Repurchase Program
In March 2024, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $ 50,000 of our Class A common stock. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time through open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our Class A common stock and may be suspended at any time at our discretion. The timing and number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the stock price, business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities, acquisition opportunities, and other factors.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 15,150 shares of our Class A common stock under the stock repurchase program at an average price of $ 1.89 per share for a total of $ 28,566 , including $ 151 of broker fees. The Company has elected to record the amount paid to repurchase the shares in excess of the par value entirely to accumulated deficit. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $ 21,587 remained available for stock repurchases pursuant to our stock repurchase program.
NOTE 8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
2018 Stock Plan
Legacy SmartRent’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the SmartRent.com, Inc. 2018 Stock Plan (the “2018 Stock Plan”), effective March 2018. The purpose of the 2018 Stock Plan was to advance the interests of Legacy SmartRent and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward persons performing services for Legacy SmartRent and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of Legacy SmartRent. The 2018 Stock Plan sought to achieve this purpose by providing awards in the form of stock options and restricted stock purchase rights. Awards granted as stock options under the 2018 Stock Plan generally expire no later than ten years from the date of grant and become vested and exercisable over a four-year period. All options are subject to certain provisions that may impact these vesting schedules.
Amendment to the 2018 Stock Plan
In April 2021, the board of directors of Legacy SmartRent executed a unanimous written consent to provide an additional incentive to certain employees of Legacy SmartRent by amending the 2018 Stock Plan to allow for the issuance of RSUs and granted a total of 1,533 RSUs to certain employees which vest over four years . The estimated fair value for each RSU issue d was approximately $ 21.55 per share and the total stock-based compensation expense to be amortized over the vesting period is $ 33,033 . Effective upon the Business Combination in August 2021, the 2018 Stock Plan was replaced by the 2021 Plan. The 2018 Stock Plan continues to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted thereunder. No new awards will be granted out of the 2018 Stock Plan.
2021 Equity Incentive Plan
In connection with the Business Combination, the Board approved and implemented the SmartRent, Inc. 2021 Plan (the "2021 Plan"). The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to enhance the Company's ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make, or are expected to make, important contributions to the Company by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities and equity-linked compensation opportunities.

In July 2024, the Company announced the departure of Lucas Haldeman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board effective July 29, 2024. The Company and Mr. Haldeman entered into a Separation Agreement and Release (the “Separation Agreement”). The Separation Agreement provides that, in exchange for Mr. Haldeman executing a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, complying with restrictive covenants (including a non-compete), resigning from the Board and agreeing to other terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Haldeman received accelerated vesting of any unvested equity awards (excluding performance based awards) that would have vested had Mr. Haldeman remained employed during the eighteen-month period immediately following the separation date. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, 1,359 stock options and 342 shares of restricted stock units were accelerated to vest on July 29, 2024. The Company accounted for the modification of existing awards as a Type III modification under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation and during the year ended December 31, 2024 , the Company recognized $ 820 and $ 449 related to the acceleration of Mr. Haldeman's RSU and stock option awards, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, stock-based compensation expense of $ 109 and $ 811 , respectively, was recognized for 844 shares granted in connection with the Company's February 2020 acquisition of a foreign supplier and are recorded as a component of general and administrative expense. There was no such stock-based compensation expense recording during the year ended December 31, 2024 .

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result of historical cumulative losses, Management determined that, based on all available evidence, there was substantial uncertainty as to whether it will recover recorded net federal and state deferred taxes in future periods. Therefore, a valuation allowance equal to the amount of the net federal and state deferred tax assets was provided at December 31, 2024 and 2023. The net valuation allowance increased by $ 9,122 from $ 71,490 to $ 80,612 in 2024.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has gross net operating losses of $ 222,864 and $ 215,389 for federal and state income tax return purposes, respectively. Federal net operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely, while State NOLs will expire between 2032 and 2044 . The Company also has $ 145 of R&D credits available that expire in 2039 .
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "Act") provides for a limitation of the annual use of the net operating loss carryforwards following certain ownership changes (as defined by the Act and codified under IRC 382) that could limit the company's ability to utilize these carryforwards. The Company has conducted an analysis under Section 382 of the Code to determine whether there would be any limitation on our ability to utilize our tax attributes. We have not experienced any limitations on the ability to use these tax attributes as the result of our analysis. We continue to analyze any shifts in ownership which may limit our ability to use these tax attributes in the future.
The income tax expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss is primarily related to state minimum and franchise taxes. We have established a full valuation allowance for net deferred U.S. federal and state tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards. We expect to maintain this valuation allowance until it becomes more likely than not that the benefit of our federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized in future periods.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions, as well as in Croatia and India. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by authorities for all tax years beginning in 2018, due to the accumulated net operating losses that are carried forward. Similarly, SightPlan is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examination by authorities for all tax years beginning in 2012. The Company is subject to Croatian income tax examinations for all tax years beginning in 2019. The Company is subject to Indian income tax examinations for all tax years beginning in 2022.

The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions which requires significant judgments. The Company believes that it has established an adequate allowance for its uncertain tax positions, although it can provide no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not be materially different. To the extent that the final outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease Commitments
From time to time, the Company enters into lease agreements with third parties for purposes of obtaining office and warehouse space. These leases are accounted for as operating leases and have remaining lease terms of 2 months to 7.75 years . If an optional renewal is reasonably certain to be exercised at lease commencement, the lease term will include the optional period for purposes of measuring the initial ROU asset and lease liability. In addition to monthly rent payments, the Company reimburses the lessors for its share of operating expenses as defined in the leases. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the lease liability but are recognized as a variable lease expense when incurred. The leases do not include any restrictions or covenants that had to be accounted for under the lease guidance.
During the year ended December 31, 2024 , the Company entered into a new office lease in Scottsdale, AZ for 38,820 square feet commencing on August 1, 2024 for its corporate headquarters. The term of the lease is 8.17 years. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company obtained $ 2,701 of ROU assets in exchange for lease obligations in connection with its operating leases. No new leases were entered into during the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company obtained $ 2,776 of ROU assets in exchange for lease obligations in connection with its operating leases.
Lease agreements entered into by the Company do not specify an implicit borrowing rate, however we utilize an incremental borrowing rate based on the lease term on a collateralized basis. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s weighted average discount rate was 5.97 % at December 31, 2024. The weighted-average lease term was 6.5 years, 2.4 years and 3.1 years at December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022, the Company had no finance leases.
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 the Company incurred rent and other related occupancy expenses of $ 2,159 , $ 1,374 and $ 1,614 , respectively. Included in these amounts are $ 225 , $ 147 and $ 133 , respectively, of variable rent expense which is comprised primarily of the Company’s proportionate share of operating expenses, properly classified as lease cost due to the Company’s election to not separate lease and non-lease components. Rent costs are recorded to cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Annual base rental commitments associated with these leases, excluding operating expense reimbursements, month-to-month lease payments and other related fees and expenses during the remaining lease terms are as follows.

The noncurrent portion of the Company’s lease liability is included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The current portion of the Company's lease liability is included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $ 1,572 , $ 1,674 and $ 1,272 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Legal Matters
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Liabilities are accrued when it is believed that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of the potential loss. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings or matters will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with a supplier, as further amended in March 2021 (the "Supplier Agreement"), to purchase minimum volumes of certain products through August 2022. Due to significant failure rates and other defects, the Company ceased ordering product from this supplier as of December 2020. Despite the Company’s requests, the supplier indicated they are not willing to refund the Company for the malfunctioning products previously purchased, and therefore, the Company filed a complaint against the supplier on March 22, 2022 in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Santa Clara (the "Court"). During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a legal expense of $ 5,300 within general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The final settlement agreement was signed in June 2024. In July 2024, the inventory was returned to the supplier and the Court granted the parties' Request for Dismissal of the action with prejudice.
In February 2024, a putative class action complaint was filed against Fifth Wall Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, Fifth Wall Asset Management, LLC (the “FWAA Defendants”), and the individual directors of Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. I (“FWAA”) (the “Director Defendants” and collectively the “Defendants”) in the Delaware Court of Chancery by a stockholder of FWAA for purported damages arising from the business combination with SmartRent.com, Inc. (“the 2024 Class Action”). The complaint asserts claims for (i) breach of fiduciary duty against the Director Defendants; (ii) aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty claims against Fifth Wall Asset Management LLC; and (iii) unjust enrichment claims against all Defendants, for purported actions relating to FWAA’s August 24, 2021 merger with legacy SmartRent.com, Inc. The parties are engaged in discovery and document production to date, and the Company and the defendants believe the allegations and claims made in the complaint are without merit.
As the surviving entity following the business combination, the Company presently has certain advancement obligations to the Director Defendants in connection with the 2024 Class Action which includes the costs of their defense of such litigation. While the Director Defendants are the beneficiaries of coverage for such costs up to $ 10,000 by directors’ and officers’ insurance (“D&O insurance”), the D&O insurance is subject to a retention of $ 5,000 . The Company has notified the relevant D&O insurance carriers of the 2024 Class Action and is litigating coverage and allocation issues in a separate action filed in the Delaware Superior Court in December 2024.
In May 2021, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with a service provider, as further amended in July 2021 (the "Service Provider Agreement"), to license the provider’s software and participate in the provider’s energy demand response program to generate revenue for the Company. The Company paid the service provider $ 3,500 for the first 25 months of the 60-month license, with no additional payment due until July 2023. In October 2022, the Company sought to rescind the Agreement on the basis that it believed it was misled about the business opportunity available and the nature of the parties’ arrangement . In January 2024, the service provider brought suit against the Company for breach of contract in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Francisco seeking damages for the Company’s failure to make the monthly $ 140 payments for the license. In February 2024, the Company filed a cross-complaint against the service provider for fraudulent inducement; recission; breach of contract; and related equitable claims. The parties engaged in substantial written discovery and depositions. In January 2025, the Company moved for summary judgment on the Agreement’s limitation of liability provision, asserting that the service provider could not recover damages under the contract. In February 2025, the service provider filed a motion for summary judgment on its breach of contract claim. Pending the cross motion hearing in April 2025, the parties participated in a mediation in February 2025, which ultimately led to the parties agreement to settle the matter.

In April 2023, a collective action was filed against the Company in Federal Court in Georgia (the "Federal Court") by two former employees alleging failure to pay overtime wages in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). The plaintiffs claim they were improperly classified as exempt employees under the FLSA and thus should have been entitled to overtime pay. Limited discovery was conducted in 2023, and Plaintiffs moved for conditional certification of a collective class in July 2023, which was granted on March 31, 2024. Notice was issued to potential class members, who had until July 15, 2024, to opt into the lawsuit. In October 2024, the parties engaged in a private mediation and agreed to settle the matter for a total amount of $ 1,500 , inclusive of all Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs and related releases, subject to a written agreement and the Federal Court’s approval. As of December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a legal accrual of $ 1,500 related to this matter within general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The settlement amount was paid in full in January 2025.
The Company regularly reviews outstanding legal claims, actions and enforcement matters, if any exist, to determine if accruals for expected negative outcomes of such matters are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates any such outstanding matters based on management’s best judgment after consultation with counsel. There is no assurance that the Company's accruals for loss contingencies will not need to be adjusted in the future. The amount of such adjustment could significantly exceed the accruals the Company has recorded. As of December 31, 2024 , an accrual of $ 1,500 was included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities related to the legal matters discussed above. The Company had no such accruals as of December 31, 2023.
NOTE 13. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates as a single operating segment, which is also its only reportable segment as its CODM, which is currently the Company's CEO , reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s principal operations are in the United States and the Company’s long-lived assets are located primarily within the United States. The Company held $ 8,023 and $ 8,280 of assets outside the United States on December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The CODM is regularly provided with the consolidated cost of revenue and consolidated operating expenses as noted on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, as these make up the significant expenses included in the measure of the segment profit or loss. Reported segment revenues less the significant expenses defined in accordance with ASC 280-10-50-26A is equal to the reported segment profit or loss, and thus there are no other segment items to disclose herein.
The Company considers these categories significant based on their materiality to the segment’s results and their importance in the CODM’s evaluation of segment performance and resource allocation decisions.
NOTE 14. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
SightPlan Acquisition
In March 2022, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of SightPlan for approximately $ 135,000 . SightPlan was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Orlando, Florida. SightPlan is a SaaS company that provides a real estate operating platform offering automated answering, resident engagement, field service and maintenance management, inspections management, and due diligence and audit management services to real estate owners and managers.
The Company accounted for the SightPlan acquisition as a business combination. The preliminary purchase price consisted of $ 131,781 of cash and restricted cash and a post-closing downward adjustment of $ 127 reflecting the difference between estimated and actual net working capital of SightPlan on the acquisition date. On the acquisition

date, the Company paid cash consideration of $ 130,931 and placed $ 850 in escrow accounts legally owned by the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2022, consideration held in escrow of $ 850 was distributed. As part of the distribution, the net working capital adjustment of $ 127 was returned to the Company.
As part of the business combination, the Company agreed to pay up to approximately $ 5,760 to the former employees of SightPlan on the one-year anniversary of the acquisition date, subject to continued employment at the Company. As this payment was contingent upon the continuous service of the employees, it was accounted for as post-combination expense and was recognized ratably over the service period of one year . During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company distributed $ 5,976 in connection with this contingent consideration, including $ 216 for payroll taxes and retirement benefits.
The total purchase consideration and the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities at the acquisition date were as follows.

Specifically, the refinement of inputs used to estimate the fair value of intangible assets resulted in an increase in customer relationships of $ 4,400 , a decrease in goodwill of $ 3,839 , and an increase in the deferred tax liability of $ 557 . The increase to the deferred tax liability caused an increase to the release of the valuation allowance, generating a $ 1,227 income tax benefit on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Changes to accounts receivable, net and other assets were immaterial.

The valuation of intangible assets was determined using an income approach methodology. The fair value of the customer relationship intangible assets was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method based on discounted projected net cash flows associated with the net earnings attributable to the acquired customer relationships. The fair value of the trade name and the acquired developed technology was determined using the relief from royalty method, which measures the value by estimating the cost savings associated with owning the asset rather than licensing it. The income approach methodology involves estimating cash flows over the remaining economic life of the intangible assets, which are considered from a market participant perspective. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included projected revenue growth rates and customer attrition rates. The projected future cash flows were discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. As such, all aforementioned intangible assets were valued using Level 3 inputs. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded amortization expense of $ 3,621 , $ 3,622 and $ 2,806 , respectively, related to intangible assets. These intangible assets are deductible over 15 years for income tax purposes.
