Market Pulse Summary
This announcement centers on a planned restatement to correct a revenue recognition error that overstated results by $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2025. While management stresses that operations and growth plans remain intact, the need to amend the Form 10‑Q introduces accounting and control risk. In context of prior strong growth updates and recent governance hires, investors may watch for the final restated figures and any additional disclosure from the Audit Committee-led review.

Columbia, South Carolina--(Newsfile Corp. - February 27, 2026) - Elauwit Connection, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELWT) ("Elauwit" or the "Company"), a national managed services provider of turnkey broadband and property-wide WiFi networks serving multifamily, student housing, and senior living communities, today announced that it plans to amend and restate its financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, filed on December 10, 2025 (the "Form 10-Q"). The restatement pertains to an error in revenue recognition and does not affect the Company's continued business activity or growth plans.
"As we prepared for our 2025 full year audit, our newly expanded internal accounting team identified an error specific to network construction project revenue recognition during the first nine months of 2025. The work to compile our financial statements was originally done by a third-party national accounting firm prior to expanding our internal team," said Dan McDonough, Executive Chairman of Elauwit.
"While the error requires correction, it does not affect our operations or growth strategy, nor does it reverse our trend of improving both revenue and operating performance from 2024 to 2025. We remain fully focused on executing our strategy to expand our business. To that end, we continue to steadily win new customer engagements and onboard new properties that will drive our long-term recurring revenue business model," said McDonough.
The restatement originates from work done by a third-party national accounting firm hired by the Company to assist in its accounting work prior to and immediately following its initial public offering; it did not involve any intentional misconduct with respect to the Company, its management or employees.
Specifically, the error pertains to incorrect entries under the percentage-of-completion input method for revenue recognition for certain network design and installation contracts. As a result, revenue, gross profit, operating income (loss) and net loss were overstated by an estimated
On February 25, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, after discussion with management, determined that the Company would restate its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-Q, and amend its related disclosures making reference to those results. As a result, the Company's Form 10-Q, and other documents referencing those results should no longer be relied upon. The Company intends to file an amendment to the Form 10-Q as soon as reasonably practicable.
The estimate provided in this release reflects preliminary information based on facts available to the Company's management as of the date of this release and is subject to potential further changes upon completion of the Company's financial review and restatement procedures.
