Management Commentary and Outlook

"We started fiscal 2026 on a strong note, delivering first quarter revenue of $17.1 million driven by robust execution on the Puerto Rico project and increased sales across our hardware products," said Richard Danforth, Genasys' Chief Executive Officer. "Additionally, during the fiscal first quarter of 2026, we fully repaid the incremental $4.0 million term loan from May 2025 and appointed Cassandra Hernandez-Monteon as Chief Financial Officer. These milestones strengthened the Company's balance sheet and leadership team, reinforcing our financial discipline and positioning us to execute against our strategic priorities with greater flexibility and confidence.

"Looking ahead, Genasys remains well positioned to drive sustained growth and long-term value creation for our shareholders. Large-scale contracts, including the Puerto Rico Dams Early Warning System (EWS) project and the Common Remotely Operated Weapons Station (CROWS) II Technical Refresh program, provide a solid foundation for our backlog as we continue to expand our presence across multiple-end markets.

"Public safety and emergency warning have become increasingly critical in today's environment, creating a growing number of applications for our solutions. As we progress through the fiscal year, we expect to deliver meaningful year-over-year revenue growth with annual gross margin expected to be approximately 50%. This margin profile, paired with continued strong top-line performance, positions us to achieve both operating and net income profitability in fiscal 2026. With a solid backlog and an expanding pipeline, we are confident in our ability to execute effectively, capture additional market share, and return to profitability this fiscal year."

Fiscal Q1 2026 Financial Results

Fiscal first quarter revenue was $17.1 million, an increase of 145.9% from $6.9 million in the prior year's quarter.

Gross profit margin was 48.0%, compared with 45.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily driven by the increase in hardware revenue. Moving forward, we expect margins to expand to roughly 50% for the fiscal year.

Operating expenses decreased 6.4% to $8.5 million from $9.1 million in the fiscal first quarter 2025. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.8% to $6.6 million from $6.8 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Research and development expenses decreased 17.1% year-over-year to $1.9 million from $2.3 million in the fiscal first quarter 2025.

GAAP net loss in the quarter was ($0.8) million, or ($0.02) per share, compared with a GAAP net loss of ($4.1) million, or ($0.09) per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in GAAP net loss was primarily driven by the increase in revenues and reductions in operating expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA was $0.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with ($4.8) million for the prior fiscal year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $10.3 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $8.0 million at September 30, 2025. This balance is net of the $4.0 million incremental term loan repayment. Based on current cash position and order backlog, the Company believes they have sufficient capital to service the near- and long-term debt.

We include in this press release adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and which we believe provides helpful information to investors with respect to evaluating the Company's performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents our net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation, fair value measurements of our term loans and warrants, and other items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions regarding allocation of capital and invest in initiatives that are focused on cultivating new markets for our solutions. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. However, since adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, it is not necessarily comparable with adjusted EBITDA used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for performance measures calculated under GAAP, including net income (loss).
