Management Commentary “Building on the strong momentum generated at the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference ( “HITEC”), where live demonstrations of Phunware's evolving Guest Intelligence Platform—including AI Concierge and AI Itinerary Builder—captured significant interest from hospitality professionals, the Company continues to advance its Product and Sales initiatives,” said Dmitry Kroshka, Chief Executive Officer of Phunware. “Since becoming Chief Executive Officer, my focus has been on translating our technology, expertise, customer relationships, and strong balance sheet into disciplined execution of our 2.0 Strategy. We believe this quarter marks an important milestone in Phunware's evolution. "We believe traditional hospitality technology helps operators understand who guests are and what they have done. Our vision is to deliver a platform which helps them understand what guests are doing in real time and enable them to engage and respond to guests while those interactions are occurring. By combining our mobile platform, proprietary location-aware technology, and AI capabilities into a unified Guest Intelligence Platform, we believe we can deliver a differentiated solution that originates and improves guest experiences while creating new opportunities for our customers to drive engagement, data collection, and on-property revenue. "During the second quarter, we continued to advance our product roadmap and strengthen our commercial organization. AI Concierge is now commercially deployed and generating engagement levels well above our initial expectations. At HITEC, we showcased the next phase of our platform with AI Itinerary Builder, which is designed to help operators personalize guest experiences and increase ancillary revenue opportunities, along with our forthcoming Location-Aware Data Layer, which is designed to connect digital guest interactions with real-world operational and revenue outcomes. We also strengthened our internal sales leadership team by hiring Nick Farrell as Senior Vice President of Sales, who will lead the Company’s hospitality growth strategy, and Brent McMahan as Senior Director of Sales, who brings more than a decade of experience in hospitality technology sales. Further, we engaged

Michael Cerdá and Build Something Product Group to accelerate 2.0 Product development, and added advisors Aaron Holloway and Michael Crooks, both veterans in technology and AI. "We are executing the 2.0 strategy from a position of financial strength. We ended the quarter with approximately $92 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt, providing flexibility to continue investing in product innovation, intellectual property, and strategic growth initiatives. While hospitality remains our primary commercial focus, we believe the same AI-enabled, location-aware intelligence platform can be applied to address meaningful opportunities across healthcare and other complex physical environments and intend to do so. We remain confident that our 2.0 strategy, product roadmap, and balance sheet best position the Company to create long-term value for shareholders. “To that end, I intend to lead a series of new investor relations initiatives designed to provide shareholders with a regular cadence of communication and transparency into our 2.0 Strategy, including investor webinars, regular updates on our progress, a comprehensive investor presentation, and an expanded presence at key investor and industry conferences. We look forward to keeping our shareholders informed and engaged as we continue to execute on our strategy,” concluded Kroshka. Note about Non-GAAP Financial Measures A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results. In addition to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking net loss and adding interest expense ( income), income tax expense, depreciation, and further adjusted for non-cash impairment, valuation adjustments and stock-based compensation expense. The company believes that this non-GAAP measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of net loss, provides additional information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. This metric is an integral part of the Company’s internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, is available in the accompanying financial tables below. The non-GAAP measure presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
