[Q&A Highlights]
Question 1: How should investors think about the seasonality going forward for core One Stop Systems, Inc. in light of the strong bookings execution but also as we think about the government shutdown?
Answer: We tend to see higher revenues in the second half of the year due to the timing of bookings. The government shutdown may affect the timing of bookings, but we have everything in backlog needed to achieve our guidance for 2025. Sole-source awards may be delayed but not lost.
Question 2: Can you update us on the data center market opportunity and the advancements you're making?
Answer: We launched Ponto, a bigger version of our 4U GPU expansion solution, which is under evaluation by customers in the data center market. We expect to see this transition into awards and backlog by the first half of next year. The army situational awareness technology procurement evaluation continues, though it is stalled due to the government shutdown.
Question 3: What was behind the strong performance of the One Stop Systems, Inc. segment in Q3, and what are the expectations for the final quarter of the year for Bresner?
Answer: Bresner's performance was driven by recovery in industrial end markets and favorable FX. We expect Bresner's Q4 revenue to be flat to Q3. The One Stop Systems, Inc. segment's strong performance was due to higher demand and execution on larger projects.
Question 4: How will the $12.5 million raised in the direct offering be deployed?
Answer: The cash will support our working capital ramp and be used for a disciplined M&A strategy in 2026. We expect positive cash flow in Q4.
Question 5: What is the impact of the government shutdown on your operations and backlog?
Answer: Major organizations are shut down, affecting planned awards. We can still make deliveries and receive payments for existing contracts. We have visibility through the first half of next year, and as long as bookings are received by the end of Q2 2026, we can convert them to revenue.
Question 6: Is the core One Stop Systems, Inc. business expected to be EBITDA positive in 2026?
Answer: We believe the One Stop Systems, Inc. segment can grow at 20%-30% annually, supporting positive EBITDA in 2026. This would accelerate our plans, but we are confident in achieving this based on our pipeline and performance.
Question 7: Are commercial opportunities accelerating due to the government shutdown?
Answer: We are seeing movement in commercial opportunities, particularly in data centers, medical imaging, and commercial aerospace. We expect these opportunities to come to fruition in 2026.
