Phunware helps businesses build and run mobile apps that connect them with their users. Its recent sales efforts focus on luxury hotel guest experiences and healthcare patient experiences. Customers pay for cloud-based software licenses, usually under multi-year subscriptions, and for customized app development and support. They can add functions such as content updates, messaging, maps and navigation to new or existing apps. Software subscriptions and services account for most revenue.
A smaller business sells advertising within mobile apps. Advertisers pay to reach mobile-device users, generally based on how many ads are delivered, though fees can also depend on views, clicks or other actions.
A substantial share of revenue comes from two customers, and subscription customers are not obliged to renew when their contracts end. Advertising also depends on access to user-interaction data and suitable ad inventory. Privacy rules restrict how Phunware can collect and use device and location data; its targeting services in Europe are subject to the GDPR.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
Phunware’s results hinge chiefly on winning and renewing hospitality and healthcare mobile-app projects; watch named rivals Airship, Apadmi, Mutual Mobile, Pointr and Purple, which are absent from this list.
Orangekloud Technology Inc. competes for organizations’ mobile-app budgets, selling an app-building platform and customization services against Phunware’s application frameworks and development work. Watch its eMOBIQ platform, which lets business customers build mobile and web apps without coding and connect them to enterprise management software.
Liftoff Mobile, Inc. competes with Phunware for advertisers’ mobile-app spending: both help advertisers attract users and app publishers earn money from ads, though advertising made up only 11% of Phunware’s 2025 revenue. Liftoff’s Core Advertising revenue is the line to watch for this overlap, rather than its legacy platforms and non-advertising offerings.
Fed Interest Rate Decision
Phunware earns interest on its $100.6 million cash balance, so the Fed’s decision on short-term borrowing costs can change how much interest income that cash generates.

If it comes in above expectations
If the rate is higher than expected, higher borrowing costs across the economy may also lift the interest Phunware earns on cash; the size of that effect depends on the rates its cash earns.
If it comes in below expectations
If the rate is lower than expected, borrowing costs across the economy may ease, while Phunware may earn less interest on cash; the size of that effect depends on the rates its cash earns.

Software subscriptions and services now make up nearly nine-tenths of Phunware’s revenue, and this report will show whether new projects and renewals are turning into revenue fast enough to offset weak advertising.
Read software subscriptions and services revenue alongside bookings, backlog and deferred revenue: rising revenue with those contract measures stabilizing or growing would show new work and renewals replacing delivered work; falling revenue with those measures shrinking would point to less work left to recognize. Then check the segment’s gross margin: if revenue grows but margin falls, the cost of delivering fixed-price projects may be eating into that growth.
Liftoff Mobile, Inc. earningsLFTO
Liftoff Mobile’s Core Advertising revenue will show whether advertisers are still spending to acquire mobile-app users and publishers can still monetize ads, a market Phunware’s smaller advertising business also serves.
Focus on Liftoff Mobile’s Core Advertising revenue, not its legacy platforms or non-advertising offerings. Growth would suggest the shared market for app-user acquisition and ad monetization is holding up, a more supportive demand backdrop for Phunware’s advertising business. A decline would signal pressure in that market and reason to watch Phunware’s ad demand, but would not establish how Phunware’s own campaigns or revenue performed.
