Insights
MIND reports significant Q1 decline with revenue down 47% QoQ, but maintains strong backlog and improved cash position despite temporary delivery delays.
MIND Technology's Q1 fiscal 2026 results show a substantial deterioration from the previous quarter's record performance. Revenue plummeted to
The revenue shortfall appears largely attributable to temporary issues rather than fundamental demand deterioration. Management cited approximately
Two positive indicators stand out amid the disappointing results. First, the backlog grew to
The heightened G&A expenses were partly attributed to non-recurring costs related to UK operations reorganization and tax position analysis following last year's preferred stock conversion. Management's commentary about "recent uncertainty in the global economic climate" causing "delays in purchase commitments" suggests some caution about near-term order flow, though they express confidence in the longer-term trajectory.
This quarterly performance illustrates the inherent volatility in MIND's business model, where the timing of relatively large orders can significantly impact quarterly results. While concerning, the revenue decline appears more a matter of timing rather than fundamental business deterioration, especially considering the growing backlog and strong cash generation.
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were approximately

Rob Capps, MIND's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "As expected, MIND's results for the first quarter were down sequentially after a record fourth quarter. This revenue decline was further driven by approximately
"Variability in customer delivery requirements is nothing new for us. We have taken meaningful strides in optimizing our operations, which enables us to control what we can control. Our backlog, pipeline of business and the general market tailwinds give us solid footing to deliver another year of strong financial results in fiscal 2026. As we have said in the past, order flow is often uneven. We believe recent uncertainty in the global economic climate has caused some delays in purchase commitments. However, in recent weeks new opportunities have presented themselves which gives us added confidence in this fiscal year and beyond. We are confident that our long-term positive trajectory remains intact.
"We normally see increased general and administrative costs in the first quarter of our fiscal year. This normal seasonality was exacerbated by non-recurring costs related to a reorganization of our
"Looking forward, I continue to be encouraged by the opportunities that lay ahead. We are still a small company, which comes with inherent challenges. However, the strength of our balance sheet has made MIND more resilient, financially flexible, and has opened the door for us to pursue value-enhancing, strategic opportunities as we strive for growth. Our focus continues to be on positioning MIND to achieve its full potential," concluded Capps.

1. | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is defined as net income before (a) interest income and interest expense, (b) provision for (or benefit from) income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash foreign exchange gains and losses, stock-based compensation, impairment of intangible assets and other non-cash tax related items. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important indicators for the performance of our business, but not measures of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because management utilizes this information for assessing our performance and liquidity, and as indicators of our ability to make capital expenditures, service debt and finance working capital requirements and we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measurements that are commonly used by analysts and some investors in evaluating the performance and liquidity of companies such as us. In particular, we believe that it is useful to our analysts and investors to understand this relationship because it excludes transactions not related to our core cash operating activities. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully trend and analyze the performance of our core cash operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities or as alternatives to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating our performance as measured by EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measurement. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense or other obligations such as capital expenditures. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are only two of the measurements that management utilizes. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with similarly titled measures reported by other companies. |
