ALT5 Sigma Reports Record First Quarter 2025 and Acquisition of Mswipe

-Reports 3rd consecutive record quarter for Fintech segment-

-Acquisition of Mswipe, to close early in Q2, will be accretive immediately upon close to both revenue and EBITDA-

-Card Issuer offering, already integrated with ALT5 Pay, to be immediately made available to existing 1000+ ALT Customers-

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / May 13, 2025 / ALT5 Sigma Corporation (the “Company” or “ALT5”) (NASDAQ:ALTS), a fintech, providing next generation blockchain-powered technologies for tokenization, trading, clearing, settlement, payment, and safe-keeping of digital assets, is pleased to announce its financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended March 29, 2025, along with the execution of definitive agreements to acquire Mswipe (www.mswipe.ca).

Mswipe is a next-generation payment solutions provider offering multi-currency, fiat payment card services - and crypto-enabled capabilities through its existing integration with the ALT5 platform. Through a suite of physical and virtual cards available on both the Visa® and Mastercard® networks, Mswipe enables users to seamlessly spend traditional and digital currencies across the globe.

The Mswipe platform is built with robust compliance frameworks, advanced security protocols, and real-time exchange capabilities, allowing for fast, secure, and borderless transactions. Delivered as a B2B solution, the combined Mswipe and ALT5 solution bridges the gap between the crypto economy and traditional financial systems—while ensuring regulatory alignment, interoperability with existing payment networks, and a seamless user experience for institutional partners and their end-users.

“We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of Mswipe and welcome their talented team to the ALT5 family,” said Peter Tassiopoulos, CEO of ALT5 Sigma. “We’ve worked closely with them as a partner, and the integration between ALT5 and Mswipe technologies is already complete and live with multiple customers. The ability to offer a fully integrated digital wallet—including support for cryptocurrency and stablecoin transactions—adds another strategic layer to our proprietary IP stack.”

Tassiopoulos continued, “Enabling instant conversion of stablecoin or other cryptocurrency balances into fiat and allowing customers to pay merchants in their local currency is a powerful capability that significantly expands real-world use cases for digital assets. Our customers are demanding these solutions as they navigate the evolving DeFi landscape and we continue to evolve our capabilities to meet and exceed these needs.”

“We are also pleased that Q1, 2025 met our expectations with another record quarter under our belt that now pushes our annualized run rate to north of $22m. We continue to see increased demand in the first half of Q2 and are seeing favorable tailwinds from a regulatory perspective continuing throughout fiscal 2025 and beyond driving additional opportunities for growth”.

Fiscal First Quarter 2025

Key Highlights-

•Fintech Revenues of $5.51 million

•Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the Fintech segment $1.15 million, Biotech $(58) thousand and Corporate and other $(1.26) million – Total Adjusted EBITDA¹ $(168) thousand.

•Gross Profit of $2.59 million or 47%

•Cash and cash equivalents of $10.8 million

Our acquisition of Alt5 Sigma closed on May 15, 2024; therefore, our results do not include any results of operations or cashflows from the Company’s Fintech business until that date forward.

ALT5 Sigma Reports Fiscal Financial Results for Third Quarter 2024

•Record quarter for ALT5 with Q3 revenue of $4.94 million

•New customer onboarding strong in Q3 and continuing into Q4

•Launching additional capabilities for Alt5 Prime and Alt5 Pay in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2024 / ALT5 Sigma Corporation (NASDAQ :ALTS) (“ALT5” or the “Company”), a fintech, providing next generation blockchain-powered technologies for tokenization, trading, clearing, settlement, payment, and safe-keeping of digital assets, announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2024.

“ALT5 Sigma's fintech segment delivers record performance in Q3, marking the first full quarter since the completion of the acquisition. We are highly encouraged by this quarter’s results. To provide some context, in fiscal 2023, prior to the acquisition, ALT5 recorded total revenue of $11.9 million for the year. Achieving nearly $5 million in revenue in a single quarter—while maintaining close to 50% gross margins in our fintech segment—reinforces our confidence in the business’s growth trajectory. We continue to see strong demand for our solutions, with significant customer onboarding and deeper engagements with existing clients,” said Peter Tassiopoulos, CEO of ALT5 Sigma. “Notably, interest in our offerings has surged following the outcome of the recent U.S. elections. As a result, we are expanding our services and preparing for geographic growth in anticipation of new opportunities both in this quarter and into fiscal 2025.”

Peter continued “Additionally, I’m pleased to report that we are making significant progress in the organizational documentation and separation of our biotech business, Alyea Therapeutics. As previously outlined, the planned separation is slated for completion in the first half of 2025, as previously outlined. In the near term, the company intends to finance Alyea's operations separately from ALT5 Sigma. This strategy aligns with the board’s decision to separate the two segments, enabling biotech investors to focus on the biotech business, reducing dilution for our shareholders, and leveraging fintech’s future free cash flow to fuel continued revenue expansion of the fintech business. We will provide further updates as developments warrant."

Recent financial and other highlights for the Company’s three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, and subsequent events

•In July, the Company changed its name from JanOne Inc. to ALT5 Sigma Corporation, and its Nasdaq ticker symbol was updated to ALTS.

•Subsequent to the quarter’s end, the Company acquired certain third-party intellectual property (IP), bolstering its IP portfolio and accelerating the launch of new features and functionality planned for Q4 and fiscal 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA¹

Non-GAAP Financial Information

We evaluate the performance of our operations based on financial measures, such as "Adjusted EBITDA," which is a non- GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash or nonrecurring charges.

Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss, and is indicative neither of our results of operations, nor of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by ALT5 Sigma Corporation, should not be compared to any similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Our fiscal second quarter only includes initial revenue, profits and cashflows from the Company’s Fintech business from May 15, 2024, forward, representing the date on which the acquisition of Alt 5 Sigma was closed. As a result, the 39 weeks ended September 28, 2024 only includes the period commencing May 15, 2024 for the Fintech business.

The Company changed its corporate name from JanOne Inc. to ALT5 Sigma Corporation effective July 15, 2024.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Exhibit 99.1

Appliance Recycling Centers of America Announces Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Minneapolis, MN (November 14, 2017) -- Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARCI) (“ARCA” or the “company”), a leading provider of utility appliance recycling programs, announces today its financial results for the third quarter of 2017.

Highlights include:

·Revenues of $25.5 million

·Gross profit of $8.4 million

·Operating Income of $1.1 million

·Net Income of more than $.77 million, or, $0.12 earnings per basic common share

·Cash flow from operations of approximately $2.4 million for the 39 weeks ended September 30, 2017

·Stockholders Equity increased to $30.8 Million, due to the Series A preferred shares issued to acquire GeoTraq and profits for Q3-2017

“We are very pleased with our Q3 results for 2017. In the same period in 2016, we had a large one-time carbon credit sale of $1.048 million and all 18 Appliancesmart stores were operational during the entire quarter. Our revenues for this quarter were adversely impacted by not having our 18th store operational during most of the quarter. In July 2017, we had a fire in our Reynoldsburg, OH store. That store has been closed since the fire and we expect to reopen it later this month. In addition, we have cleaned up our balance sheet with the sale of our stake in ARCA Advanced Processing (“AAP”), our former joint venture, and have continued our work at improving our profitability, reducing expenses and improving margins,” said Virland Johnson, CFO of ARCA.

“The sale of our stake in AAP, the results and deconsolidation of which are now included in our financial statements, has improved our balance sheet through the receipt of $800,000 in cash and the elimination of more than $4.2 million in direct and indirect liabilities. We have also recently acquired GeoTraq Inc., a new business for us that we plan on developing and growing to serve the location-based services market. Ultimately, we believe the entirety of these efforts will result in additional shareholder value,” said Tony Isaac, CEO of ARCA.

About ARCA

ARCA’s two appliance business components are uniquely positioned in the industry to work together to provide a full array of appliance-related services. ARCA’s regional centers process appliances at end of life to remove environmentally damaging substances and produce material byproducts for recycling for utilities in the U.S. and Canada.
