Genasys Inc. Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 Results

Key Terms

adjusted EBITDA financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

GAAP financial

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

non-GAAP financial measure financial

A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.

term loan financial

A term loan is a type of loan that is borrowed for a set period of time, with a fixed schedule for repaying the money, usually in regular payments. It matters to investors because it represents a company's borrowing costs and financial stability; reliable repayment of these loans can indicate strong financial health, while difficulties may signal potential risks.

Management Commentary and Outlook

“The fiscal second quarter marked an important inflection point, headlined by a return to net income profitability and a roughly 63% gross margin,” said Richard Danforth, Genasys’ Chief Executive Officer. “Consistent delivery in Puerto Rico, combined with a standout bookings quarter in software, including new-state wins in Idaho and North Carolina, reflect sustained operational discipline and accelerating sales traction. The hard work from our team is beginning to show in our financial results, and we expect this progress to continue, supported by our roughly $58 million backlog.

“On the balance sheet front, we expect to collect receivables associated with the Puerto Rico EWS project in the near term, subject to the administrative disbursement processes, allowing us to retire the remaining balance of our outstanding debt. At that point, with sufficient cash on hand to support day-to-day operations, the Company is expected to emerge with a materially cleaner balance sheet. Combined with sustained software momentum across the country, consistent hardware execution, and an active pipeline, the second half of the year is shaping up to be a defining stretch for the Company.

“For fiscal 2026, we expect to deliver record revenue, gross margins over 50%, and net income profitability. Furthermore, our pipeline remains robust, which is a direct reflection of the sustained demand today's landscape is creating for our products. Overall, we remain focused on building upon this momentum, winning the opportunities in our pipeline, and delivering long-term value for our shareholders.”

Fiscal Q2 2026 Financial Results

Fiscal second quarter revenue was $15.5 million, an increase of 123.7% from $6.9 million in the prior year’s quarter.

Gross profit margin was 63.3%, compared with 37.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily driven by the increase in hardware revenue.

Operating expenses decreased 3.7% to $8.5 million from $8.9 million in the fiscal second quarter 2025. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 6.6% to $6.2 million from $6.6 million in the fiscal second quarter 2025. Research and development expenses increased 5.1% year-over-year to $2.3 million from $2.2 million in the fiscal second quarter 2025.

GAAP net income in the quarter was $0.7 million, or $0.02 per share, basic and diluted, compared with a GAAP net loss of ($6.1) million, or ($0.14) per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The improvement in GAAP net income (loss) was primarily driven by the increase in revenues and reductions in operating expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with ($5.1) million for the prior fiscal year period.

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $1.0 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $8.0 million at September 30, 2025. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company extended the maturity of its term loan from May 13, 2026 to July 13, 2026, aligning the maturity with expected contractual cash receipts, including collections associated with the Puerto Rico EWS project, and providing additional flexibility to support ongoing operations.

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).
