"our EBITDA¹ increased at a compound annual rate"

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.

gps technical

"PureOne GPS technology to monitor participants"

A global network of satellites and ground stations that provides precise location and time information to devices on Earth; think of it as a map and clock in the sky that tells a device exactly where and when it is. Investors care because GPS underpins navigation for shipping and delivery, fleet and asset tracking, location-based services, autonomous vehicles, and precise timing for financial networks—so changes in GPS technology, reliability, or competing systems can affect revenue, costs, and risk across many industries.

geo-fence technical

"dynamic geo-fence alerts"

A geo-fence is a virtual boundary drawn around a real-world location using GPS, Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi or cellular signals; when a tracked device or app crosses that boundary, the system can trigger an automated action such as sending a notification, recording a visit, or logging entry/exit. Think of it like an invisible fence around a store or area that lets software detect and respond to people entering or leaving. Investors care because geo-fencing is used for targeted marketing, foot-traffic measurement, operational automation and data collection, and it can affect revenue, user engagement, partnerships and privacy or regulatory risk.

rfid technical

"all-in-one field-proven RFID &"

RFID, or Radio Frequency Identification, is a technology that uses radio waves to automatically identify and track objects, animals, or people. It involves small tags or chips that emit signals when scanned, similar to a barcode but without needing direct line-of-sight. For investors, RFID enhances supply chain efficiency and inventory management, potentially reducing costs and improving business operations.

County Sheriff's Office to Deploy SuperCom's PureOne GPS Technology for Newly Established Work-Release Program

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a global provider of secure solutions for the e-Government, IoT, and Cybersecurity sectors, today announced that it has secured a direct county-level electronic monitoring contract in Illinois to support a county sheriff's office in launching its newly established work-release program. The agency selected SuperCom's PureOne GPS technology to monitor participants while they are outside the county jail as part of the program. This contract marks SuperCom's first in the state of Illinois and expands the Company's U.S. footprint to 20 new states since mid-2024.

Training and deployment are scheduled to commence in October 2026, with PureOne serving as the program's electronic monitoring platform from launch. The contract was awarded following standard field tests and will follow a recurring revenue model.

"We are pleased to launch a new county program with a sheriff's office in Illinois, expanding our U.S. footprint into another new state while supporting a newly established program," commented Ordan Trabelsi, President and CEO of SuperCom.

"Across more than 45 new electronic monitoring contracts secured in the U.S. since mid-2024, we have entered new states, built deeper positions within existing markets, displaced incumbent systems and supported new program launches. This breadth, together with our success across Europe, where we achieved more than 20 national project wins, reflects the versatility of our technology and execution capabilities. SuperCom's financial results further demonstrate the scalability of our business model: our electronic monitoring business expanded at a compound annual rate of approximately 30% over the four-year period ending in 2025, while our EBITDA¹ increased at a compound annual rate of approximately 47% over the same period. In the second quarter of 2026, our EBITDA grew approximately 58% year-over-year. We remain focused on building on this foundation as we pursue our mission to revolutionize public safety through electronic monitoring technology and complementary services."
