Fountain Valley, California--(Newsfile Corp. - November 14, 2025) - Moving iMage Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: MITQ) "MiT", a leading provider of cutting-edge out-of-home entertainment technology and services for cinema, Esports, stadiums, arenas and other venues, announced results for its fiscal 2026 first quarter ended September 30, 2025 (Q1'26) and will hold an investor call today at 11am ET (see call details below).

Highlights

• Q1'26 revenue increased 6.2% to $5.6M vs. $5.3M in Q1'25 primarily driven by delivery of a custom cinema project.
• Q1'26 gross profit increased 22.0% to $1.7M vs. $1.4M in Q1'25 reflecting a focus on higher margin opportunities.
• Q1'26 gross margin percentage increased to 30.0% vs. 26.1% in Q1'25, primarily driven by model mix and timing of a custom cinema project completed in Q1'26.
• MITQ reported operating income of $350k in Q1'26 vs. a year-ago operating loss of ($68k), principally reflecting the gross profit improvement and an 8% decrease in operating expenses driven in part by a decrease in headcount, compensation and travel costs.
• Net income improved to $509k, or $0.05 per share, in Q1'26 vs. a net loss of ($25k) or ($0.00) per share, in Q1'25, reflecting the operating income improvement and a $128k non-cash gain from debt extinguishment that more than offset a decrease in interest income.
• Working capital rose 12.4% to $4.8M at the close of Q1'26 vs. the FY 2025 year end, including cash of $5.5M (approximately $0.54 per common share) at the close of Q1'26.
• After the close of Q1'26, MiT acquired the assets of the globally recognized, Digital Cinema Speaker Series (DCS) loudspeaker product line for $1.5M in cash. DCS is a premium cinema loudspeaker line, purpose-built for a wide range of cinema use cases, from premium large format (PLF) auditoriums to smaller venues, boutique cinemas, studios, postproduction facilities and private screening rooms. The acquired assets include loudspeaker inventory, designs, trademarks, customer lists and other intellectual property necessary to continue to manufacture and service the line.

Moving Image Chairman and CEO, Phil Rafnson, commented, "We remain cautiously optimistic regarding our pipeline of cinema technology projects and product sales opportunities over the balance of this fiscal year. Customers recognize our value in guiding their cinema build-outs or the replacement of legacy equipment, making the decision to proceed on projects primarily a matter of capital allocation priorities and timing. Our recent purchase of the DCS cinema loudspeaker line is an important initiative in building a line of premium products and service capabilities, while bolstering our competitive position and growth potential. Additionally, we believe the DCS line, in conjunction with LEA amplifiers and our cinema and audio expertise, will support our pursuit of untapped sales opportunities in international markets."

President and COO, Francois Godfrey, added, "The DCS loudspeaker line is an ideal complement to our existing customer dialogues and strengthens MiT's position as a leading source of best in-class cinema technology solutions. Immersive audio capabilities are at the forefront of the cinema experience and high on the list of customer priorities. Given DCS loudspeakers' market footprint and over 20 year reputation for high performance and reliability, we expect a solid reception in both domestic and markets overseas, as we develop plans to build traction, particularly in Europe and the Middle East.

"Our team continues to engage in a variety of upgrade and new build project discussions with U.S. exhibitors. While the scope and timing of these opportunities remains fluid, we are encouraged by the steady level of industry dialogue and interest in MiT, including our capabilities in the premium large format (PLF) ecosystem. MiT's long-term track record, strong reputation and unrivaled ability to design and execute state of the art projects on time and on budget remains a key differentiator for our organization.

"Q1'26 featured delivery of a unique project to create a state-of-the-art 166 seat cinema screening room and performing arts venue at New York City's historic Cherry Lane Theatre. MiT also completed substantial refresh initiatives for Alamo Drafthouse incorporating cutting edge laser projection by Barco and Doby Atmos immersive audio at four Texas locations. These projects showcase our ability to fulfill a diverse range of cinema technology needs in the most professional and timely manner.

"While our Q1'26 revenue exceeded our prior outlook, the upside was largely due to the accelerated delivery of some projects previously expected later in the year. Our fiscal second quarter ending in December is a seasonally slower period as exhibition customers typically refrain from projects that could interfere with their important holiday film release season in November and December. Reflecting this seasonality and the pull through of some revenue into Q1'26, we currently expect Q2'26 revenue of approximately $3.4M with gross margin percentage returning to prior year's lower levels. As industry analysts continue to expect solid box office attendance this winter, we are optimistic higher traffic could translate into increased capital spending on cinema auditorium upgrades. In the interim, we remain focused on margin and cost mitigation initiatives designed to improve our performance in any environment."
