PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / March 19, 2026 / Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, and digital engagement, and real‑world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, today announced fourth quarter and year-end results for fiscal 2025. The Company posted its first-ever profitable quarter for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, and reported record revenue for the full year 2025, up 1,362% from the prior year.
Datavault AI's growth during 2025 reflects the successful execution of the Company's strategic plan to integrate artificial intelligence ("AI") assets and combine complementary businesses to unlock strategic value across its technology platform. Demand for the Company's intellectual property licensing and RWA tokenization and monetization solutions continues to accelerate, fueled by a rapidly expanding customer base across multiple industries and a growing global footprint.
"2025 marked a pivotal year of transformation for Datavault AI, driven by strategic acquisitions and the issuance of foundational global intellectual property assets covering the multi-trillion-dollar data monetization, RWA, real estate, and NIL markets that position us at the forefront of the emerging tokenomics,'" said Nathaniel Bradley, Chief Executive Officer of Datavault AI. "We are witnessing a global race toward unified, blockchain-based infrastructure where all asset classes-data, digital assets, and traditional securities-can be verified, securitized, and transacted seamlessly. These growing alliances reflect a broader shift toward shared infrastructure that enables trusted exchange at scale. Datavault AI's ecosystem is designed to power this evolution-enabling organizations to participate in a transparent, compliant, and monetizable data economy built on next-generation exchange architecture."
Q4-2025 Financials
Revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, was $33.8 million, a 3,650% YoY increase compared to less than $1 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Sequentially, revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, increased 1,065% compared to $2.9 million in the period ended December 31, 2024
Operating Profit for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, increased to $4.2 million compared to a loss of $6.3 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Recorded Net Profit for the first time in the Company's history with $661 thousand for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.
FY-2025 Financials
Revenue increased to $39.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2.67 million reported for full year 2024, meeting expectations set by management.
Gross profit was $30 million (gross margin ~78%) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $376 thousand (gross margin ~14%) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Milestones and 2026 Outlook
During 2025, the Company announced a full-year 2026 revenue target of $200 million, which it is today re-iterating.
The Company is well-positioned for a successful future and reported its strongest year-end balance sheet ever, with approximately $116 million in working capital, including $142.9 million in current assets, only $26.9 million in current liabilities, and no long-term debt. In May 2025, the Company closed the acquisition of CompuSystems, Inc., and recently closed the acquisition of API Media Innovations Inc.
"2025 was about laying the foundation with industry-leading strategic partners and ensuring a strong balance sheet. As we look ahead, we believe our growing intellectual property portfolio and infrastructure position Datavault AI to unlock significant value across industries," added Bradley.

Such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding future events, the Company's revenue target for fiscal 2026, the expected operational, technical and commercial outcomes of the Company's commercial strategy, the potential for Datavault AI to successfully deploy its technologies and gain market share in such markets, the potential for Datavault AI to anticipate market trends, exploit business opportunities and create value for customers, and the projected direction and market impacts of regulatory changes with respect to digital assets, are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management, are inherently uncertain. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these and other forward-looking statements contained herein.
Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following: the risk that the Company will not achieve its full year 2026 revenue target, risks related to our ability to deploy our technologies and gain market share in our target markets; the risk that Datavault AI will incorrectly anticipate market trends and/or fail to successfully exploit business opportunities; the risk that regulatory changes with respect to digital assets may negatively impact the markets in which Datavault AI operates, or fail to drive revenue growth to anticipated levels; changes in market demand for Datavault AI's services and products; changes in economic, market, or regulatory conditions; risks relating to evolving regulatory frameworks applicable to tokenized assets; risks associated with technological development and integration; and other risks and uncertainties as more fully described in Datavault AI's filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other filings that Datavault AI makes from time to time with the SEC, which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov, and could cause actual results to vary from expectations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To evaluate the performance of our business, we rely on both our results of operations recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA. These measures, as defined below, are not defined or calculated under principles, standards or rules that comprise GAAP. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measures we use and refer to should not be viewed as a substitute for performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as a substitute for a measure of liquidity. Our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA described below, are specific to our business, and you should not assume that they are comparable to similarly titled financial measures of other companies.
We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, tax expense, depreciation, and amortization expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA, as adjusted for equity-based compensation, depreciation expense, amortization expense, interest expense (net), change in fair value of 2025 notes measured at fair value, change in fair value of convertible note to related party measured at fair value, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, change in fair value of crypto currency, extinguishment of debt and income tax provision.
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental measures of operating performance and liquidity because these measures facilitate comparisons of historical performance by excluding non-cash items such as equity-based compensation and other amounts not directly attributable to our primary operations. Adjusted EBITDA is also a key metric used internally by our management to evaluate performance and develop internal budgets and forecasts. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP, and may not provide a complete understanding of our operating results as a whole. Some of these limitations are (i) they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs, (ii) they do not reflect our interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, (iii) they do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes, (iv) they do not reflect historical capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (v) although equity-based compensation expenses are non-cash charges, we rely on equity compensation to compensate and incentivize employees, directors and certain consultants, and we may continue to do so in the future and (vi) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these non-GAAP measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
