gross profit margins financial

"The Company expects the effects of this price increase could start to affect gross profit margins starting in Q3"

Gross profit margin measures the share of sales revenue a company keeps after paying the direct costs to make or buy the products or services it sells. Think of revenue as a whole pizza and gross profit margin as the slice left after taking away the cost of the ingredients — it shows how efficiently a company turns sales into basic profit. Investors use it to compare profitability, spot pricing or cost trends, and assess how much is available to cover other expenses and generate net profit.

Solutions-as-a-Service financial

"with its AI-driven Solutions-as-a-Service model"

SOC 2 Type 2 audit technical

"validated through successful completion of its SOC 2 Type 2 audit"

forward-looking statements regulatory

"This publication contains forward-looking statements, which are not guarantees of future performance"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

agentic artificial intelligence technical

"SARA™ ... serves as the Company's primary agentic artificial intelligence system"

A type of artificial intelligence that can set goals, make decisions, and carry out multi-step actions across digital or physical systems with limited human direction—think of it as an autonomous employee that plans and executes tasks. Investors care because agentic AI can boost productivity and create new revenue streams by automating complex work, but it also introduces risks (unexpected behavior, higher development costs, and regulatory scrutiny) that can affect company value and future cash flows.

Exhibit 99.1

AITX's RAD Implements First Hardware Price Increase in Nearly Three
Years as Market Conditions Demand Adjustment

Company Held Pricing as Long as Possible; April 30, 2026, Is the Final Deadline for
Current Rates

Detroit, Michigan - April 7, 2026 - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCID: AITXD), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions, along with its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced a price increase of approximately 14% across its hardware solution lineup, effective May 1, 2026. The increase reflects sustained pressure from component, logistics, and compliance-related costs that the Company deliberately absorbed for nearly three years in support of its partners and customers. All orders placed by April 30, 2026, will be honored at current pricing.

The adjustment brings RAD's pricing in line with the cost environment the Company has been actively managing, including sustained increases in components, logistics, and compliance. Rather than pass these pressures along, RAD chose to absorb them for nearly three years while continuing to invest in product development, manufacturing, and software capabilities. This decision supported customer adoption and long-term partner success, while positioning the Company to advance its technology roadmap from a place of strength.

RAD also announced a structural shift in its hardware offering, with SARA™ (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent) now included as a standard capability across all devices moving forward. What was previously an add-on is now embedded, transforming every RAD unit from a detection endpoint into an active participant in the security operation. With SARA integrated, each device is capable of AI-driven monitoring, real-time decision making, autonomous engagement, and escalation without reliance on constant human intervention. This change materially redefines what customers receive with every deployment, establishing a new baseline for performance, consistency, and operational impact across the industry.

"We're quite proud of how we've protected customer pricing as long as we have," said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder, AITX and RAD. "For nearly three years we absorbed costs that most companies would have passed along without a second thought. We are proud of that, and we are grateful for the partners and customers who have built their security programs around our solutions. This adjustment was necessary, but what comes next is what matters. The roadmap we are executing, the technology we are deploying, and the results our clients see in the real world give us every reason to be optimistic. We are not raising prices and standing still. We are raising prices and accelerating."

The price increase applies to new orders only with all existing contract pricing grandfathered in until further notice. The Company expects the effects of this price increase could start to affect gross profit margins starting in Q3 of its current fiscal year 2027, ending November 30, 2026.

For any partner or customer with active conversations, open evaluations, or planned deployments, the window to act at current pricing closes April 30, 2026. Orders confirmed by that date will be honored in full at today's rates.

The Company invites prospective clients, channel partners, and industry participants to connect with its team before April 30, 2026 to explore current pricing opportunities and learn how RAD's solutions can support their security and operational objectives going forward.
