Results from Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026

Revenues increased 34.8% to $713,000 in the second quarter of 2026 from $529,000 in the second quarter of 2025 due to increased service revenues primarily due to a one-time project.

EBITDA from operations increased 62.7% to $192,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 from $118,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 due to the increase in revenues discussed above partially offset by less capitalized labor for plant under construction and switch replacements.

Other income decreased $120,000 to $172,000 for the second quarter ending June 30, 2026 from $292,000 for the second quarter ending June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to deceases in the Company’s equity in earnings of affiliated companies and lower yields on U.S. Treasuries.
