Fountain Valley, California--(Newsfile Corp. - May 14, 2026) - Moving iMage Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: MITQ) "MiT", a leading provider of cutting-edge out-of-home entertainment technology and services for cinema, stadiums, arenas, Esports, and other venues, announced results for its fiscal 2026 third quarter ended March 31, 2026 (Q3'26) and will hold an investor call today at 11am ET (see call details below).
Highlights
- Q3'26 revenue declined
4.9% to$3.39M vs$3.57M in Q3'25, reflecting slower than usual customer project activity during the seasonally slower third quarter, offset by revenue from MiT's new DCS cinema loudspeaker line. - Q3'26 results included
$460 k of DCS sales up from$22 k in Q2'26 and no sales in Q3'25 prior to the DCS acquisition which closed October 31, 2025. - Q3'26 gross margin percentage increased to
34.8% vs.29.8% in Q3'25, principally reflecting the benefit of DCS loudspeaker sales which carry higher margins, as well as an incremental gain on sale of DCS inventory which was acquired at a discount. - Q3'26 gross profit dollars increased to
$1.18 k vs.$1.06M in Q3'25, reflecting the benefit of higher margin project opportunities and higher margin DCS loudspeaker sales. - Q3'26 operating loss improved to (
$134 k) vs. ($270 k) in Q3'25, principally reflecting the gross margin improvement. - Q3'26 net loss improved to (
$122 k), or ($0.01) per share vs. ($240 K), or ($0.02) per share, in Q3'25. - MiT closed Q3'26 with working capital of
$4.3M , including net cash of$2.3M and zero debt. The Q3'26 balance sheet reflects an increase in DCS inventory as well as an increase in accounts receivable, resulting from a custom installation completed in Q3'26 but paid for in early Q4'26, as well increased DCS sales in the period.
Moving Image Chairman and CEO, Phil Rafnson, commented, "Q2 and Q3 are seasonally slower periods for MiT as our exhibition customers refrain from most cinema technology investments during the important summer and holiday season cinema windows. We did see good initial traction for our proprietary DCS cinema loudspeaker line during the third quarter, and we are encouraged by the expanding base of global interest we and our international partners are developing.
"We remain optimistic about cinema technology upgrade prospects given the large base of legacy digital projection and cinema audio solutions that have yet to be replaced with more efficient, better performing next generation technologies to substantially enhance entertainment experiences. This view was supported by customer and partner feedback at last month's CinemaCon 2026 gathering in Las Vegas. Participants were encouraged by recent box office performances as well as the strength of the feature film release slate and hybrid in-theater events through calendar 2026 and into next year. The improving content backdrop, coupled with improving operator outlooks and new build activity, suggests a more favorable environment for future cinema technology capital investment activity. Our demonstrated technical expertise, proprietary products and deep experience with leading cinema equipment brands, and 20-plus year track record for high quality project execution across the US positions us well to guide this upgrade activity for both new and long-term customers."
President and COO, Francois Godfrey, added, "We are pleased by the potential momentum we are seeing for cinema and audio equipment upgrades as well as new builds, across the exhibition and specialty entertainment industries. Our addition of the DCS cinema loudspeaker line further expands our capabilities to serve these needs and is being met by solid interest in the US as well as opening new revenue opportunities for us in international markets.
"To differentiate their entertainment experience, exhibitors are increasingly deploying new Premium Large Format (PLF) auditoriums with cutting edge laser projection and immersive audio, while also working to enhance the customer experience in smaller auditoriums. Our DCS cinema loudspeaker solutions, often paired with LEA amplifiers, have been vetted and approved to power several branded PLF cinema experiences, substantially strengthening our ability to participate in these projects as we move forward.
"Importantly, DCS cinema loudspeaker systems have been refined over two decades to deliver the highest possible performance and reliability for mission critical cinema and entertainment applications. As a result, DCS loudspeaker systems have become an industry standard and are installed in thousands of cinema auditoriums worldwide. Our job is to build on this impressive foundation by supplying DCS solutions for new PLF and conventional auditoriums, for product replacements and for technology upgrades.
"We have made excellent progress in incorporating the DCS business into MiT from a systems, operational, sales and marketing and financial reporting standpoint. We have built out a solid base of distribution partners in the US, and across the UK, Taiwan, Thailand, Korea, Germany, Italy, Chile, and Vietnam to name a few. It is our intention to work to leverage this new international footprint to serve as a platform to offer other MiT products and capabilities.
"Turning to our quarter-end financial position, despite significant recent investments in the DSC acquisition and business launch, we remain well positioned to fund the business moving forward. We closed Q3 with
"We currently expect Q4'26 revenue of approximately
