SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE INC

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We make such forward-looking statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “may,” “plan,” “assume” and other expressions that predict or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters. You should not unduly rely on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

•our customer concentration, given that the majority of our sales currently depend on a few large client relationships;

•our ability to establish and maintain strategic relationships with our customers and mobile device manufacturers, their ability to attract customers, and their willingness to promote our products;

•our ability and/or customers’ ability to distribute our mobile software applications to their end users through third party mobile software application stores, which we do not control;

•our dependency upon effective operation with operating systems, devices, networks and standards that we do not control and on our continued relationships with mobile operating system providers, device manufacturers and mobile software application stores on commercially reasonable terms or at all;

•the possibility of security and privacy breaches in our systems and in the third-party software and/or systems that we use, damaging client relations and inhibiting our ability to grow;

•interruptions or delays in the services we provide from our data center hosting facilities that could harm our business;

•the existence of undetected software defects in our products and our failure to resolve detected defects in a timely manner;

•our ability to remain a going concern;

•our ability to raise additional capital and the risk of such capital not being available to us at commercially reasonable terms or at all;

•our ability to be profitable;

•changes in our operating income due to shifts in our sales mix and variability in our operating expenses;

•our current client concentration within the vertical wireless carrier market, and the potential impact to our business resulting from changes within this vertical market, or failure to penetrate new markets;

•rapid technological evolution and resulting changes in demand for our products from our key customers and their end users;

•intense competition in our industry and the core vertical markets in which we operate, and our ability to successfully compete;

•the risks inherent with international operations;

•the impact of evolving information security and data privacy laws on our business and industry;

•the impact of governmental regulations on our business and industry;

•our ability to protect our intellectual property and our ability to operate our business without infringing on the rights of others;

•the risk of being delisted from Nasdaq if we fail to meet any of its applicable listing requirements;

•our ability to assimilate acquisitions without diverting management attention and impacting current operations;

•failure to realize the expected benefits of prior acquisitions;

•the availability of third-party intellectual property and licenses needed for our operations on commercially reasonable terms, or at all; and

•the difficulty of predicting our quarterly revenues and operating results and the chance of such revenues and results falling below analyst or investor expectations, which could cause the price of our Common Stock to fall.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results to be materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements, including the factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, under similar headings in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and the risk factors and cautionary statements described in other documents that we file from time to time with the SEC, specifically under the heading “Item 1A: Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 that was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024, and any of our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this prospectus, including the documents we incorporate by reference, in the context of these risks, uncertainties and other factors.
