ACORN ENERGY, INC. (ACFN), through its subsidiary OmniMetrix, LLC, entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement on September 9, 2026 to acquire all assets used in Generator Solutions, Inc.’s Gen-Tracker standby generator monitoring business. The acquired assets include customer accounts, dealer relationships, trade names, trademarks, technology, accounts receivable and hardware inventory.
The aggregate purchase price is $3,500,000, with $1,000,000 paid at closing, four deferred payments of $450,000 each on the first four anniversaries of closing, and a final payment of $700,000 on the fifth anniversary. On the same date, OmniMetrix entered into a one-year lease with an affiliate of the seller for commercial premises in Oakdale, Minnesota at an annual rent of $108,000, payable at $9,000 per month.
Acorn Energy, Inc. entered into a material definitive agreement on August 17, 2026 with Walter Czarnecki, former CEO of its OmniMetrix, LLC subsidiary. Czarnecki agreed to exchange his 100 shares of Series A preferred stock of OMX Holdings, Inc., representing 1% of OMX’s outstanding shares, for 25,096 newly issued shares of Acorn common stock, approximately 1% of Acorn’s shares outstanding immediately before the transaction. Following this exchange, Acorn now owns 100% of the outstanding shares of OMX, which in turn holds all equity interests in OmniMetrix.
Acorn Energy, Inc. reported Q2 2026 revenue of $2.49 million, down 29.4% from Q2 2025, as lower hardware sales to a national cell phone provider more than offset growth in recurring monitoring revenue. Monitoring revenue rose 8.0% to $1.43 million, while hardware revenue declined 51.7% to $1.06 million.
Gross margin improved to 82.4% from 74.9%, driven by the higher mix of monitoring revenue with gross margin above 94%. Net income attributable to stockholders was $294,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with $720,000, or $0.28, a year earlier. For the first half of 2026, revenue was $4.72 million and net income was $217,000, or $0.09 per diluted share.
Cash was $4.48 million at June 30, 2026, with $277,000 of cash generated from operations in the first half. Management highlighted a new partnership making OmniMetrix monitoring standard on select Champion home standby generators and the launch of the OMNI360 infrastructure monitoring suite, while noting a longer sales cycle and limited visibility for these new offerings.
Acorn Energy reported softer Q1’26 results as revenue fell to $2.227M from $3.098M, mainly because last year’s large cellphone-provider hardware contract wound down. Monitoring revenue, which is high-margin and recurring, grew 11.7% to $1.417M, while hardware revenue dropped 55.7% to $0.81M.
Gross margin improved to 80.2% from 75.1% thanks to the greater mix of monitoring services, but the company swung to a net loss of $77,000, or ($0.03) per share, versus net income of $464,000 a year earlier. Operating expenses rose 11.2%, driven by higher SG&A and stock-based compensation.
Acorn ended March 31, 2026 with $4.257M in cash and generated $53,000 of operating cash flow in the quarter. It invested $250,000 to secure exclusive North American distribution and commercialization rights under its AIO Systems technology partnership, which management believes can significantly expand its Infrastructure Solutions segment and long-term growth potential.
Acorn Energy reported 2025 revenue of $11.48 million, up 5% from 2024, driven by a 22% increase in high-margin monitoring revenue to $5.56 million, while hardware revenue declined 8% to $5.92 million.
Gross margin improved to 77%, lifting operating income slightly to $1.99 million from $1.94 million. Net income attributable to stockholders fell to $2.51 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, versus $6.29 million, or $2.51 per diluted share, mainly because the prior year included a much larger deferred tax benefit. Cash increased to $4.45 million at year-end 2025, supported by $2.09 million of operating cash flow.
Acorn Energy updated compensation arrangements for its top executives and non-employee directors. On January 19, 2026, the company entered into a new consulting agreement with President and CEO Jan H. Loeb, who serves as a consultant rather than an employee. He will receive annualized cash compensation of $207,400 for his CEO role plus $10,300 per month while he is Acting CEO of OmniMetrix, and was granted options to buy 25,000 shares at $19.02 per share, vesting over quarterly periods through 2026.
The company also amended and restated its consulting agreement with Tracy Clifford Consulting, LLC for CFO and OmniMetrix COO services, with Ms. Clifford receiving annualized cash compensation of $222,789, severance of six months’ pay if terminated without cause, and an initial grant of 25,000 options at $19.02 plus recurring annual grants of 25,000 options, all vesting over time. Both Mr. Loeb and Ms. Clifford received a one-time cash bonus equal to 5% of their 2025 gross cash compensation for a successful technology partnership. Non-employee directors will now receive annual grants of 3,125 options each year, vesting quarterly, with 2026 grants priced at $19.02 per share.
