Historical Context

Date	Event	Sentiment	Move	Catalyst
Dec 02	Seamap order win	Positive	-4.2%	Seamap unit secured GunLink controller orders exceeding $9.5 million.
Nov 25	Earnings schedule	Neutral	+2.4%	Announced timing and access details for the Q3 FY2026 earnings call.
Sep 09	Q2 earnings beat	Positive	-14.5%	Reported strong Q2 FY2026 revenue, profitability, and improved Adjusted EBITDA.
Sep 09	Investor conference	Neutral	+0.8%	CEO presentation announced for Investor Summit Virtual on Sep 16, 2025.
Sep 02	ATM & buyback	Positive	-9.6%	Announced $25M ATM offering alongside a $4M stock repurchase authorization.

Pattern Detected

Recent history shows several instances where positive fundamental or strategic news (strong Q2 results, new orders, ATM/buyback programs) coincided with negative 24-hour price reactions, indicating a tendency toward divergence between news tone and immediate trading response.

Recent Company History

Over the last six months, MIND reported strong Q2 FY2026 results with revenue of $13.6 million, operating income of $2.7 million, and net income of $1.9 million, yet the stock fell 14.54% afterward. It also launched a $25.0 million ATM and $4.0 million buyback on Sep 02, which saw a -9.6% reaction. On Dec 02, Seamap received orders exceeding $9.5 million, followed by a -4.23% move. Against this backdrop, today’s Q3 release adds a quarter of lower revenue and income to an otherwise profitable fiscal year.

Market Pulse Summary

The stock is dropping -21.9% following this news. A negative reaction despite ongoing profitability would fit a pattern where prior positive updates, such as strong Q2 results and sizeable Seamap orders exceeding $9.5 million, were followed by declines. The softer Q3 figures, including revenue of $9.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million, may have amplified concerns around the reduced Seamap backlog of $7.2 million. However, the company’s reported $36.0 million working capital and $19.4 million cash position provided a counterbalancing liquidity buffer.

Key Terms

adjusted EBITDA financial

"Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was approximately $1.3 million..."

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.

ATM program financial

"while raising approximately $11.0 million of cash through our ATM program during the quarter."

An ATM program is a plan or arrangement that allows a company to sell its shares directly to investors over time, often through automated systems like online platforms. It provides a flexible way for companies to raise money gradually without needing a full public offering each time. For investors, it can offer easier access to buying or selling shares and can help companies manage their fundraising more efficiently.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MIND Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIND) ("MIND" or the "Company") today announced financial results for its fiscal 2026 third quarter ended October 31, 2025.

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 were approximately $9.7 million compared to $13.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and $12.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

The Company reported operating income of approximately $774,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $2.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and $1.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 amounted to approximately $62,000 compared to $1.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and $1.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Net income attributable to common stockholders was approximately $62,000, or $0.01 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $1.9 million, or $0.24 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and $15.7 million or $2.87 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 (after the effect of the conversion of preferred stock into common stock). In computing net income per common share, approximately 8,046,000 shares were outstanding for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, 7,969,000 shares for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, and 5,473,000 shares during the 2025 fiscal third quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was approximately $1.3 million compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and $2.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

The backlog of Marine Technology Product orders related to our Seamap segment was approximately $7.2 million as of October 31, 2025 compared to $12.8 million at July 31, 2025 and $26.2 million at October 31, 2024. However, subsequent to October 31, 2025, the Company received additional orders totaling approximately $9.5 million.

Rob Capps, MIND's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our results for the third quarter were largely in line with our expectations. Although Seamap revenues moderated slightly from the second quarter, higher margin after-market activity was strong again this quarter and accounted for about 64% of our revenues in the first nine months of this fiscal year. This favorable after-market activity, along with our consistent execution, helped deliver another profitable quarter. Based on the anticipated delivery schedule of our backlog, recent and expected orders, we expect our fourth quarter to be improved from the third quarter.

"We continued to improve our liquidity and financial position during the third quarter. We generated positive adjusted EBITDA and positive cash flow from operating activities while raising approximately $11.0 million of cash through our ATM program during the quarter. We ended the quarter with almost $36.0 million in working capital, $19.4 million of which is cash. This working capital position equates to approximately $4.00 per share of common stock and provides us tremendous flexibility to pursue growth opportunities.

"We believe we are positioned for a positive finish to fiscal 2026 and continue to maintain a clean, debt free, balance sheet with a simplified capital structure as we work to enhance stockholder value," concluded Capps.

Forward-looking Statements

Certain statements and information in this press release concerning results for the quarter ended October 31, 2025 may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this press release other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "intend," "should," "would," "could" or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. All comments concerning our expectations for future revenues and operating results are based on our forecasts of our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions or dispositions. Our forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, reductions in our customers' capital budgets, our own capital budget, limitations on the availability of capital or higher costs of capital, and volatility in commodity prices for oil and natural gas.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, unless required by law, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain statements and information in this press release contain non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Company management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Company management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze the Company's business trends and to understand the Company's performance. In addition, the Company may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as guides in its forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning processes and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. 

Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, is defined and reconciled to reported net income from continuing operations and cash used in operating activities in the accompanying financial tables. These are the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

Reconciliation of Backlog, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is not included in this press release due to the inherent difficulty and impracticality of quantifying certain amounts that would be required to calculate the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

	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.
