MT. OLIVE, N.J., May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vislink Technologies, Inc. ("Vislink" or the "Company") (OTCID: VISL), a global leader in real-time video communications for the defense, public safety, and broadcast markets, today reported financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

CEO Commentary

"Q1 2026 was a landmark quarter for Vislink," said Mickey Miller, Chief Executive Officer. "For the first time in the Company's recent history, we delivered EBITDA profitability—a non-GAAP EBITDA profit of $0.2 million versus a loss of $2.2 million in the same quarter last year. Revenue of $5.4 million increased 17% from the prior year period and 2% sequentially from Q4 2025, supported by strong order intake in Q4 that translated into healthy Q1 shipments. Gross margin of 65.0% expanded meaningfully from the prior year quarter, driven by a favorable mix shift toward Military/Government solutions and continued pricing discipline. Operating expenses declined 35% year-over-year as the full-year benefit of our restructuring actions took hold, and G&A costs fell more than $1 million from Q1 2025. These results reflect the disciplined execution of our transformation strategy and give us real confidence that the model is working."

"The acceleration of our Military/Government business is particularly encouraging. MilGov revenue increased 159% year-over-year and 93% sequentially from Q4 2025, and shipments against established European Public Safety and Military of Defense contracts were key highlights in the quarter. On the U.S. Federal front, our dedicated business development initiative continues to build momentum—we have now submitted eight RFI responses year-to-date across priority defense and homeland security agencies. Our capabilities align well with important initiatives in the UAS, C-UAS, and 5G Department of War priorities. We are also making significant progress with our AI initiative, which is already targeting additional savings and is reshaping how we operate across sales, engineering, and customer service. We enter Q2 with solid operational momentum, and we remain focused on sustaining revenue growth, continuing to expand margins, and delivering long-term value for our shareholders."
