BioLargo Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results; Revenue Up 12% Sequentially, Gross Margin Expands to 54%
Rhea-AI Summary
BioLargo (OTCQX: BLGO) reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $1,248,000, up 12% sequentially from Q1 2026 but down 55% from Q2 2025 due to the August 2025 exit from Pooph-branded private-label sales. Excluding Pooph, non-consumer revenue grew 26% year over year for the first six months to $2,363,000.
Q2 2026 gross margin rose to 54% from 51% a year earlier, reflecting the loss of lower-margin private-label revenue and improved cost performance at ONM Environmental. Net loss widened to $4,000,000, with Clyra Medical contributing $2,375,000. BioLargo ended June 30, 2026 with $2,188,000 in cash, current assets of $3,499,000, current liabilities of $4,765,000, and a working capital deficit of $1,266,000.
About 86% of first-half 2026 capital was raised at subsidiaries, including $3,395,000 in Clyra debt and $487,000 in BioLargo Energy Technologies equity, versus $647,000 via BioLargo common stock. Operational highlights include ViaCLYR wound irrigation distribution agreements and revenue of $154,000 at Clyra, an October 2026 relaunch of CupriDyne-based consumer products under a company-owned brand, continued revenue at engineering unit BLEST ($1,888,000 in H1 2026), ongoing PFAS treatment at Lake Stockholm using the AEC system, and progress in the Cellinity long-duration energy storage program. Management outlined expected milestones over the next six to nine months and will host a stockholder town hall on September 10, 2026.

Progress Across the Portfolio
Clyra Medical Technologies - wound care and infection control (
ViaCLYR™ wound irrigation solution, built on the patented Clyrasept™ copper-iodine complex and cleared by the FDA under Section 510(k)
Received its first purchase order from a U.S.-based distributor in February 2026
Signed an exclusive distribution agreement in May 2026 with Al-Hikma FZCO, a healthcare distribution and marketing group headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The agreement covers 18 countries across the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Levant, North Africa and select adjacent markets
Recognized
$154,000 of revenue in the first half of 2026Now has 14 full-time employees, having increased staff and raised capital to ready the company for expanded product launches
Bioclynse, a surgical wound irrigation solution based on the same Clyrasept technology, is Clyra's next planned launch
The product will be brought to market with a national distribution partner
Clyra has invested in at-scale manufacturing capacity with an FDA-compliant contract manufacturer
A confidentiality obligation requires Clyra to refrain from identifying that partner until the product launches and the Company plans to do so at that time
Launch timing is being set by Clyra's partner; management will discuss launch readiness at the September 10 town hall
Leadership includes Medical Director Dr. Jeffrey Marcus, Chief of Plastic, Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery at Duke University; Nicholas Valeriani, chairman of the board of Edwards Lifesciences and a 34-year veteran of Johnson & Johnson; and Linda Park, Corporate Secretary and Senior Vice President at Edwards Lifesciences
BioLargo Consumer Products - household products (
BioLargo CPG, LLC was formed in May 2026 as a consumer-packaged goods company, and is preparing an October relaunch of CupriDyne®-based household products
The relaunch follows the revocation of the Pooph, Inc. license in September 2025, which ended the Company's private-label consumer channel
As announced in BioLargo's prior release, "BioLargo Relaunching CupriDyne®-Based Consumer Products - Back by Popular Demand and Generated More than
$125 Million in Pet-Care Sales," BioLargo's technology built a consumer category once beforeUnder that prior arrangement a third party owned the brand; BioLargo will own the new brand
The Company plans to control the value chain from manufacturing through shelf placement, retaining margin that previously accrued to others
Specialty partners are being engaged to execute the strategy in areas where outside expertise accelerates it
ONM Environmental - industrial odor and VOC control (wholly owned)
Sells CupriDyne Clean, and designs, manufactures, installs and services the misting, spraying and delivery systems that apply it
Customers include municipalities, landfills, transfer stations, wastewater treatment facilities and industrial sites, with a significant portion of revenue from ongoing contracts with cities and counties in Southern California
Industrial sales continue unaffected by the consumer odor product changes and pending consumer products launch
BioLargo Engineering, Science & Technologies (BLEST) - environmental engineering (
BLEST, BioLargo's professional engineering firm in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, generated
$1,888,000 of revenue in the first half of 2026Recurring air quality work at U.S. Air Force bases contributes approximately
$100,000 revenue per monthIn April 2026 BLEST was engaged under a
$1.2 million contract to design a pilot-scale minerals processing facility that would remediate, and create a beneficial reuse of, a legacy mineral waste deposit at a historically impacted site in the western United States, using a patented BioLargo processWork has begun and is expected to continue through the second quarter of 2027 and this work is expected to lead to additional engagement for the design and project management of the construction and operation of a larger commercial pilot processing facility
Construction and operation of a full-scale commercial production facility itself is expected to proceed only after the successful conclusion of the commercial pilot project
BLEST's reported operating loss understates its contribution to BioLargo as a whole, because a substantial share of its engineering goes to BioLargo's own programs rather than to outside clients. That internal work is billed within the group and eliminated in consolidation instead of being reported as revenue -
$574,000 in the first half of 2026, an increase of46% over the$393,000 recorded in the first half of 2025
BioLargo Equipment Solutions & Technologies - PFAS and water treatment (wholly owned)
BioLargo's Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator (AEC) is installed and operating at Lake Stockholm, New Jersey, where it has been removing PFAS from drinking water for residents for over six months
Performance at that site is undergoing regular testing by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
The AEC has demonstrated more than 10,000 hours of continuous operation with no materially significant degradation of components or performance, and has been validated to remove PFAS to non-detect levels as well as meeting state and federal standards
BioLargo has successfully completed more than a dozen pilot studies with prospective customers
Management regards validation in a first municipal drinking water project as a key commercialization milestone
Following its memorandum of understanding with Aquatech, BioLargo is advancing manufacturing scalability and developing a collaborative approach to serving clients around the world
BioLargo Energy Technologies - Cellinity long-duration energy storage (
Cellinity is a liquid-sodium battery for long-duration, grid-scale energy delivery, built on earth-abundant materials with a wholly domestic supply chain and no rare-earth elements required
Management has compiled data supporting an expected useful life of 20 years or more, and no runaway fire risk
Separately confirmed by a third party: stability of the cell chemistry; reliability of a sealed, non-venting design; absence of self-discharge; the ability to charge and discharge rapidly at high voltage; and the ability to withstand catastrophic physical insult without fire or explosion
Pilot-scale cell production and technical refinements for scaled production capabilities are continuing at BioLargo's Oak Ridge, Tennessee engineering headquarters
BioLargo is in substantive discussions with prospective offtakers, data center developers and financing sources regarding multiple potential projects
No formal project financing agreements or factory development contracts have been executed and the unit has not yet generated revenue
What BioLargo Expects to Accomplish in the Next Six to Nine Months
Calvert continued, "We have important milestones that we expect to accomplish over the next six to nine months. Launch our consumer products this fall and record our first sales under our own brand. Al-Hikma places its first purchase orders, and additional distributors sign on for Clyra's products. Complete the preparation work for the launch of Bioclynse with our national distribution partner and identify that partner when the product launches. Secure client authorization to build the minerals processing commercial pilot. Announce a commercial agreement for our water treatment or battery technology. And strengthen the balance sheet to support continued development of these and other product lines, including the pursuit of non-dilutive and subsidiary-level capital formation strategies. If those things happen, the thesis is working. If any of them do not, we will say so plainly and tell you why."
Stockholder Town Hall - September 10, 2026
BioLargo will host a stockholder town hall on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time / 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Management will review second quarter results, discuss commercialization priorities across the medical, water, odor control, energy storage and engineering platforms, and take questions from stockholders. Access details will be provided in a separate announcement.
