SOBRsafe Inc. (NASDAQ: SOBR) reported robust financial performance for the first quarter of 2025, showcasing strong momentum in its alcohol detection technology business. The company's revenue increased 80.5% year-over-year to $86,600, with gross margins improving to 58.8%.
Key financial highlights include a narrowed net loss of $1.9 million, compared to $2.5 million in the previous year. Software subscription revenue, which now represents 53.8% of total revenue, more than doubled during the quarter. The company also deployed 148 SOBRsure™ devices, representing a 41% increase from the previous quarter.
The financial results reflect SOBRsafe's strategic focus on addressing alcohol misuse, a significant public health challenge. With alcohol being the fourth leading cause of preventable death in the United States, the company's touch-based detection technology offers a non-invasive, hygienic alternative to traditional monitoring methods.
The company ended the quarter with $10.1 million in cash, bolstered by $3.3 million in warrant exercises related to its October 2024 PIPE financing. These funds will likely support continued technology development and market expansion efforts.
SOBRsafe's technology platform, which includes SOBRcheck for point-of-care screening and SOBRsure for continuous monitoring, represents a potential paradigm shift in alcohol detection and prevention across behavioral health, judicial, and consumer markets.
