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, 2025 and 2024, 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, 2025, 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, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, 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 software-as-a-service ("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 Phoenix, 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, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
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.
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 $ 2,131 and $ 2,797 as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, 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 $ ( 666 ) , $ 1,436 and $ 819 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The negative amount for the year ended December 31, 2025 is primarily attributable to the collections of accounts previously reserved as expected credit losses. 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.

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, the Company recorded $ 537 in connection with the buy-back provision, which is recorded in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025 , no such provision was recorded.
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 three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company experienced a sustained decline in stock price, resulting in a significant decrease in market capitalization. As a result, the Company conducted an interim impairment test utilizing the qualitative approach and determined that impairment is more likely than not. As a result, the Company then performed an interim quantitative impairment test which resulted in an indication of impairment.
The fair value of the reporting unit used in this impairment test was determined using the combination of an income approach and market-based approach. The mix between the two approaches requires significant judgement, however, the Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist with its assessment. As a result of this test, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $ 24,929 during the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2025. As part of its annual assessment, the Company performed a market capitalization reconciliation, along with other procedures, which indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit sufficiently exceeded the carrying value. As a result, the Company concluded there were no indications of impairment and therefore no further impairment charge was recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2025. There was no such charge recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the reporting unit under the income approach primarily relate to revenue growth rate, forecasted EBITDA and the selected discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model. The significant assumptions used in the market-based approach primarily relate to the forecasted EBITDA margin, the selected control premium, and selected revenue and EBITDA multiples, which require significant judgement.

To the extent that inputs and assumptions used in the analysis change, such as an increased discount rate, updated cash flow projections, or decreases to Guideline companies’ multiples, additional impairment charges may be recorded in the future. In addition, a further decrease in the Company’s common stock share price and market capitalization could be an indicator of a decrease in the fair value of the Company’s equity.
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, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $ 41 , $ 21 and $ 26 , 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, 2025, 2024 and 2023, warranty expense included in cost of hardware revenue was $ 291 , $ 261 and $ 2,142 , respectively. As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company’s warranty allowance was $ 423 and $ 1,077 , respectively, and is recorded in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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.
69
SMARTRENT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
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, 2025 or 2024. 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 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. We do not expect to deploy any more non-distinct Hub Devices.
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 re ceived 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.
• 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.
70
SMARTRENT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
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 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.
71
SMARTRENT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
• 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.
The grant date fair value is also utilized with respect to RSUs which vest based on performance and time based service conditions. For RSUs with a performance condition which vest based on a liquidity event, as well as a time-based service condition, no compensation expense is recognized until the performance condition has been satisfied. Subsequent to the liquidity event, compensation expense is recognized to the extent the requisite service period has been completed and compensation expense thereafter is recognized on an accelerated attribution method. Under the accelerated attribution method, compensation expense is recognized over the remaining requisite service period for each service condition tranche as though each tranche is, in substance, a separate award.
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, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company capitalized $ 5,629 , $ 5,270 and $ 3,919 , respectively, of research and development costs in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had capitalized $ 17,963 of research and development costs, including $ 16,900 of capitalized software costs, in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, of which $ 11,529 remains to be amortized. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had capitalized $ 12,334 of research and development costs, including $ 12,068 of capitalized software costs, in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, of which $ 9,543 remained to be amortized.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and recorded as a component of sales and marketing expense. The Company incurred $ 743 , $ 650 and $ 423 of advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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, 2025. 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, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $ 140 , $ 146 and $ 136 , 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, 2025, 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, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the facility fee totaled $ 186 , $ 181 and $ 188 , 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. As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not maintain the minimum cash balance, but exceeded the 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, 2025, 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no outstanding principal amount under the Senior Revolving Facility.

Warrants
As of December 31, 2025 , 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 . There was no contra-revenue recorded related to these warrants during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
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, 2025, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 5,084 shares of our Class A common stock under the stock repurchase program at an average price of $ 0.96 per share for a total of $ 4,886 .

As of December 31, 2025, approximately $ 16,751 remained available for stock repurchases pursuant to our stock repurchase program.
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 . 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
The Company'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 the Company and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward persons performing services for the Company and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Company. 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 executed a unanimous written consent to provide an additional incentive to certain employees of the Company 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.

No right to any Class A Common Stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the grant of the RSU award confer any right to continue vesting or employment or other service. Compensation expense associated with the unvested RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
In June 2025, the Company granted RSU awards under the 2021 Plan to Frank Martell, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Martell’s grant consisted of time-based RSUs covering 1,800 shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The RSUs will vest in four substantially equal quarterly installments, such that 100 % of the RSUs subject to the grant will be vested as of June 30, 2026 , subject to the terms of Mr. Martell’s award agreement.

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, 2025 and 2024. The net valuation allowance increased by $ 15,226 from $ 80,612 to $ 95,793 in 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has gross NOLs of $ 252,280 and $ 245,468 for federal and state income tax return purposes, respectively. Federal NOLs can be carried forward indefinitely, while State NOLs will expire between 2032 and 2045 . 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 not completed a formal Section 382 study; however, given its cumulative losses and valuation allowance position, management does not expect any potential limitation to have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision. A formal analysis would be performed when taxable income is generated in future periods and the utilization of these attribute become probable.
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 Holdings, Inc. 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 2023.
The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions which requires significant judgments. We believe that we have established an adequate allowance for our uncertain tax positions, although we 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. A summary of changes in the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows.

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Commitments
The Company sometimes enters into long-term purchase commitments for certain goods and services. In October 2025 the Company entered into an agreement with a supplier to purchase minimum volumes of certain goods and services through December 2030. Future minimum annual payments in connection with the purchase commitment as of December 31, 2025 are as follows.

In the event of certain deteriorating business conditions during fiscal year 2028, and upon providing sixty days written notice to the supplier prior to January 1, 2029, the Company shall have the option to request for a reduction of its minimum payments for the fiscal years of 2029 and 2030 respectively, including an extension of the commitment term by one additional fiscal year , 2031.
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 1.33 years to 6.75 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 years ended December 31, 2025 or 2023.
Lease agreements entered into by the Company do not specify an implicit borrowing rate, however the Company utilizes 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 6.07 % at December 31, 2024. The weighted-average lease term was 5.9 years, 6.5 years and 2.4 years at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 , 2024 and 2023, the Company had no finance leases.

Included in these amounts are $ 360 , $ 225 and $ 147 , 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.

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $ 887 , $ 1,572 and $ 1,674 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 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 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 asserted claims for purported actions relating to FWAA’s August 24, 2021 merger with legacy SmartRent.com, Inc. Beginning in February 2025, the parties participated in a mediation, which ultimately led to all the parties’ agreement to settle the 2024 Class Action for $ 11,375 . In August 2025, the parties executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise and Release, which the Court approved in November 2025.
Legal expenses and settlement costs incurred by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $ 4,905 and $ 2,230 , respectively, in connection with the 2024 Class Action. These legal expenses were recorded 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.

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. In February 2025, the parties participated in a mediation, which ultimately led to the parties' agreement to settle the matter. The final settlement agreement was signed in March 2025, and the case was dismissed with prejudice.
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. 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. The Court approved the settlement and dismissed the case on December 31, 2024. 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The settlement amount was paid in full in January 2025.
In December 2025, the San Francisco Tenants Union and three residents filed claims against the Company and several multifamily property owners in the Superior Court of the State of California in the County of San Francisco for alleged violations of Article 1 Section 1 of the California Constitution for alleged violation of tenant privacy rights, for common law intrusion upon seclusion and for violation of the San Francisco Rent Ordinance for purportedly interfering with tenants privacy rights arising out of the use of the Company’s SmartHome products and services (the "Complaint"). The Complaint seeks declaratory relief that the conduct described in the Complaint constitutes an invasion of the right to privacy and injunctive relief prohibiting the Company and owners from violating tenants’ privacy rights. The Complaint also seeks unspecified damages. The Company disputes the plaintiffs’ claims and intends to vigorously defend against those claims.
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.
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 President and Chief Executive Officer , 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 $ 10,080 and $ 8,023 of assets outside the United States on December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
