Operating expenses decreased significantly, leading to an improved operating loss of $17.2 million for the quarter, down from $21.1 million in 2023. The company recognized a bargain purchase gain of approximately $41.5 million from its acquisition of NetComm Wireless Pty Ltd, which contributed to a substantial turnaround in profitability.
