SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OMNIQ CORP. (OTCQB: OMQS) ("OMNIQ" or the "Company"), a leading provider of AI-based computer vision solutions, reports that increased government funding and rapid advances in artificial intelligence are driving demand for machine vision, vehicle recognition, today issued a letter to shareholders and reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026.
To Our Shareholders
OMNIQ today is a different company than it was a year ago. Following the July 2025 divestiture of our Quest Solution division, we operate today as a focused provider of AI-based machine vision, automation and intelligent mobility solutions. It is a simpler business, but one built around the technology we believe creates the most long-term value.
That transition is the single most important context for the numbers in this release. Our second quarter 2026 revenue of
What we are focused on is what comes next. Our machine vision platform, passenger and people counting, license plate and vehicle recognition, real-time monitoring, access control, and traffic and parking management, is being deployed today across municipalities, government agencies, healthcare systems, universities, airports, and enterprise campuses. We added four municipalities to our Safe City footprint during and shortly after the quarter, extending our presence across the Northeast. Our high-occupancy vehicle solution, which identifies and counts vehicle occupants under difficult real-world conditions, is now live in the field, with deployments at sites handling more than 30,000 vehicles annually. We are not able to name these customers or locations at this time, but we intend to share more as permissions allow.
We are also investing in the defensibility of that technology as part of a deliberate strategy: for a technology company, issued patents are durable value, and we expect to continue building that portfolio.
We are equally focused on the balance sheet. We ended the quarter with
We know we have work to do to translate this technology into consistent, profitable growth. Our priorities for the balance of 2026 are straightforward: increase sales with our largest customers, prioritize our most profitable product lines, reduce operating expenses without compromising delivery, and continue strengthening the balance sheet.
We look forward to presenting at LD Micro in October and to expanding our investor communications from there. Thank you for your continued support.
