CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Newton Golf Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: NWTG) (the “Company”), a technology-forward golf equipment company focused on physics-driven engineering, reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. Unless otherwise noted, comparisons are to the same period in the prior year.

Financial Highlights

• Net sales were $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $2.6 million in the prior-year quarter. The decline primarily reflected reduced marketing activity during the transition to a new marketing agency and changes to the Company’s promotional strategy.
• Gross profit was $820,000, or 59.9% of net sales, compared with $1.7 million, or 67.2% of net sales, in the prior-year quarter. Lower sales volumes caused assembly and pick, pack and shipping labor costs to represent a larger percentage of revenue as the Company maintained its workforce and labor hours.
• Total operating expenses decreased to $2.2 million from $3.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to approximately $0.8 million of lower sales and marketing costs, $0.2 million of lower labor costs and $0.1 million of lower public company costs.
• Loss from operations improved to $1.3 million from $1.5 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting lower operating expenses, offset by the decrease in gross profit.
• Net loss was $1.2 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share, compared with $1.6 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. The improvement reflected a noncash gain from changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and a lower operating loss, partially offset by higher interest expense, deferred financing cost amortization, and a loss on extinguishment of debt.
• Cash and cash equivalents were $513,000 at September 30, 2026. Subsequent to September 30, 2026, the Company raised approximately $3.0 million in net proceeds from equity financings.
• Stockholders’ equity was $1.1 million at September 30, 2026. Based on transactions completed through the date hereof, management estimates pro forma stockholders’ equity of approximately $5.2 million.

Q3 2026 Operational Highlights

• The manufacturing facility operated under normal manufacturing processes during the quarter. The Company began building inventory in advance of customer orders and is targeting shipment within two days of receiving an order.
• The Company continued selling its 2.0 Fast Motion driver shaft, Motion driver and fairway shafts, introduced in the second quarter and are identified by green product logos. The 2.0 shafts incorporate refinements to manufacturing techniques, bend profiles, specifications and production tolerances designed to support greater product consistency and a broader fitting profile. Initial professional adoption has included conversions from prior-generation shafts and use of the updated Motion fairway shaft by multiple PGA TOUR Champions players. Professional adoption continued to expand, with more than 80 professional golfers using Newton Motion and Fast Motion shafts across the PGA TOUR, PGA TOUR Champions, LPGA and Korn Ferry Tours at quarter end, compared with more than 77 at the end of the second quarter.
• The Company’s professional club fitter network grew to approximately 301 accounts at quarter end, compared with approximately 273 at the end of the second quarter.
• The Company engaged a new marketing agency to sharpen its direct-to-consumer strategy, broaden customer acquisition channels and strengthen brand messaging. It is moving away from frequent sitewide discounts toward selective promotions and purchase incentives designed to increase order size, reinforce brand positioning, and support wholesale opportunities. The Company also increased prices for its Motion driver and fairway shafts to align them with related product lines. Since marketing initiatives resumed, the Company has observed improved returns on advertising spend. A dedicated campaign for the 2.0 platform is expected to launch in November 2026.
• In July 2026, the Company entered into a $5.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility and exchanged approximately $2.3 million of convertible notes, including accrued interest, for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The exchange included a 5% premium and did not provide cash proceeds. At September 30, 2026, $1.0 million of principal was outstanding under the facility, leaving up to $4.0 million available, subject to its terms. Private placements completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 generated approximately $1.2 million of net proceeds.
• On September 23, 2026, the Company acquired, through assignment of an option agreement, the exclusive option to acquire a 100% interest in the Pole Canyon Project, consisting of 16 unpatented lode mining claims totaling approximately 330 acres in White Pine County, Nevada, in exchange for 1,135,891 shares of common stock with an aggregate fair value of $1.3 million. At September 30, 2026, the option had not been exercised and title to the claims had not transferred to the Company. The Company also assumed $165,000 of remaining cash option payments, payable in eight quarterly installments, and recorded the mineral property option at a total cost of $1,474,000 as an asset acquisition. The Pole Canyon Project is a strategic, non-operating asset. The Company’s current operating forecasts do not include project production, revenue, or cash flows and do not assume material exploration or development spending. Any additional project investment would be evaluated separately by management.

Subsequent Events

• Subsequent to September 30, 2026, the Company received approximately $1.4 million in net proceeds from ATM sales of 1,344,871 shares at an average price of $1.18 per share, approximately $1.2 million in net proceeds from private placement sales of 967,739 shares at $1.24 per share, and $500,000 in gross proceeds from issuing 5,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The ATM shares were sold at prevailing market prices, while the Company’s other equity issuances were completed at prices above the prevailing market price on the respective transaction dates. On November 6, 2026, the Company converted $1.0 million of revolving credit facility principal, plus a 5% premium, into 211,693 shares of common stock and 7,875 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The noncash conversion reduced outstanding debt, increased stockholders’ equity and resulted in an approximately $288,000 gain on extinguishment of debt.
• On October 6, 2026, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had not demonstrated compliance with the $2.5 million minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. The Company requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), scheduled for November 12, 2026, and requested an exception under Nasdaq Rule 5815(c)(1)(A) through April 4, 2027 or, alternatively, a finding of compliance under Rule 5815(c)(1)(E). Based on transactions completed through the date hereof, 2026, management estimates stockholders’ equity of approximately $5.2 million. This is the Company’s estimate and has not been confirmed by Nasdaq and the Panel has not issued a decision.
• The completed financings have strengthened the Company’s liquidity and capital structure. Management expects, however, that additional financing will be required to fund operations and meet obligations during the year following issuance of the financial statements. Management's plans to obtain additional financing do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and could dilute existing stockholders.

Management Commentary

“In the third quarter, our manufacturing facility operated under normal production processes, and for the first time, we began building inventory ahead of customer orders. This is an important step toward improving product availability and fulfillment. We are targeting shipment within two days of receiving an order,” said Akinobu Yorihiro, interim CEO and CTO of Newton Golf.

“We continued selling our updated 2.0 shafts, which incorporate refinements to manufacturing techniques, bend profiles, specifications and production tolerances. Initial professional adoption has included conversions from prior-generation shafts and use of the updated Motion fairway shaft by multiple PGA TOUR Champions players.

“Reliable supply, shorter lead times and consistent product quality are important to developing wholesale and OEM relationships. We believe our manufacturing improvements and updated shaft versions have strengthened those relationships.

“Our new marketing agency is helping refine our direct-to-consumer strategy, diversify customer acquisition channels and strengthen brand messaging. As carbon fiber availability improved, we selectively resumed marketing initiatives while keeping overall activity below historical levels. We are shifting away from frequent sitewide discounts toward more selective promotions and offers designed to encourage larger purchases. Since marketing initiatives resumed, we have observed improved returns on advertising spend.

“On October 29, we announced the next phase of our expansion in Japan, including the relaunch of our enhanced Japanese e-commerce platform, the local introduction of our 2.0 shafts and a partnership with professional golfer Hiroyuki Fujita.

“We believe our focus on brand building and more selective promotions has helped open discussions with certain key prospective retail partners. We are now negotiating potential commercial arrangements that could expand access to our Motion and Fast Motion shafts through in-store fitting and e-commerce channels.

“We expect to begin a dedicated marketing campaign for the 2.0 platform in November 2026. Fast Motion fairway wood and hybrid shafts are expected to launch commercially in the first quarter of 2027. Our priorities are to improve fulfillment and product consistency, expand distribution and prepare for upcoming product launches.”

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Summary

Net sales totaled $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2026, a 47% decrease from the prior-year quarter. The decline primarily reflected reduced marketing activity during the transition to a new marketing agency, including limited spending in June and July, and changes to the Company’s promotional strategy. Marketing activity resumed in August. During the quarter, the facility operated under normal manufacturing processes, and the Company began building inventory to improve product availability and fulfillment.

Gross profit totaled $820,000, or 59.9% of net sales, compared with $1.7 million, or 67.2% of net sales, in the prior-year quarter. Lower sales volumes caused assembly and pick, pack and shipping labor costs to represent a larger percentage of revenue as the Company maintained its workforce and labor hours.

Total operating expenses decreased to $2.2 million from $3.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $2.0 million from $3.1 million, primarily reflecting approximately $0.8 million of lower sales and marketing costs, $0.2 million of lower labor costs and $0.1 million of lower public company costs. Research and development expenses were $198,000, compared with $182,000. Loss from operations improved to $1.3 million from $1.5 million.

Net loss was $1.2 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share, compared with $1.6 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. The improvement reflected a lower operating loss and a $302,000 noncash gain from changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, compared with a $96,000 noncash loss from warrant liabilities in the prior-year quarter. These improvements were partially offset by higher net interest expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and a loss on extinguishment of debt.

First Nine Months 2026 Financial Summary

Net sales were $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a 37% decrease from $5.9 million in the prior-year period. During the first six months, manufacturing transition activities and temporary carbon fiber supply constraints reduced production throughput and delayed certain shipments. In the third quarter, the facility operated under normal manufacturing processes, while sales were affected by reduced marketing activity during the transition to a new agency and changes to the Company’s promotional strategy.

Gross profit was $2.4 million, or 64.2% of net sales, compared with $4.0 million, or 68.0% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The decrease reflected manufacturing inefficiencies and idle capacity during the first six months, as well as third-quarter labor costs that did not decline in proportion to lower sales.

Total operating expenses decreased to $7.8 million from $9.0 million in the prior-year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $7.0 million from $8.4 million, primarily reflecting approximately $1.8 million of lower sales and marketing expenses, partially offset by approximately $0.5 million of idle manufacturing costs, $0.2 million of increased stock-based compensation expense and a $0.1 million increase in professional services, among other items. Research and development expenses increased to $894,000 from $607,000, primarily reflecting manufacturing labor reclassified to research and development for product and manufacturing process improvements. Loss from operations was $5.5 million, compared with $5.0 million.

Net loss was $6.2 million, or $1.27 per basic and diluted share, compared with $3.6 million, or $1.07 per basic and diluted share, in the prior-year period. The increase reflected a higher operating loss and an unfavorable $1.7 million change in warrant valuations, from a $1.3 million noncash gain in the prior-year period to a $382,000 noncash loss in the current period. The current-period results also included interest expense, amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs, and a loss on extinguishment of debt.

Key Terms

convertible notes financial

Convertible notes are a type of short-term loan that a company receives from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. They matter to investors because they offer a way to support a company early on while giving the potential to own a stake in its success if the company grows and later raises more funding.

revolving credit facility financial

A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.

atm sales financial

At-the-market (ATM) sales are ongoing offerings where a company sells newly issued shares directly into the open market at the prevailing market price through brokers, rather than all at once at a fixed price. Investors care because ATM sales can provide flexible cash without taking on debt but reduce each existing share's slice of ownership (dilution), and the timing and size of such sales can affect the stock price and signal management’s funding needs.

going concern financial

Going concern is the accounting assumption that a company will keep operating and meeting its obligations for the foreseeable future. The phrase matters most when a company or its auditors disclose substantial doubt about it, a formal warning that the business may not have enough resources to continue without raising money, restructuring, or selling assets. That language in a filing or press release signals elevated financial risk.

warrant liabilities financial

Warrant liabilities are the financial obligations a company records when it grants warrants—special rights allowing someone to buy shares at a set price in the future. If the warrants are expected to be exercised, they are treated as a liability because the company might need to deliver shares or cash later. This matters to investors because it affects the company’s reported financial health and the potential dilution of existing shares.
