for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Second
Quarter 2026 Highlights

Sales
in the amplifier and related passive microwave components and subsystems business increased 42.7% year-over-year. |
| |
|
| ● |
Research
and development expense was $1.37 million, compared with $0.66 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting continued investment
in 5G product development, prototype and testing activity, consulting support and MMIC design. Q2 R&D included approximately
$1.08 million of 5G expenses and $0.30 million of MMIC design expenses. |
| |
|
| ● |
Net
loss was $(3.09) million, compared with $(1.77) million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting higher research and development investment
as well as increased selling, general and administrative expenses, including amortization, legal fees, stock-based compensation,

Operational
and Strategic Progress
The
second quarter demonstrated continued monetization across AmpliTech’s operating platform. The Company continues to develop and
commercialize technologies serving four principal end markets:
| ● |
5G / telecommunications infrastructure, including O-RAN radio
systems and next-generation wireless infrastructure solutions |
| ● |
SATCOM and space applications utilizing advanced RF and microwave
technologies |
| ● |
Defense and aerospace communications applications |
| ● |
Semiconductor and quantum computing applications, including
Spectrum Semiconductor Materials, MMIC technologies and cryogenic low-noise amplifier solutions |
Management
views the Company’s current stage as one of scaling commercialization and monetization rather than beginning it. The sequential
revenue growth achieved in Q2, new ORAN 5G product sales, the expansion of Spectrum’s distribution business and continued sales
growth in amplifier and passive microwave products demonstrate revenue contribution from multiple parts of the platform. At the same
time, the Company continued to invest ahead of anticipated larger opportunities, particularly in 5G and MMIC development.

commercial production. Management believes the Company’s diversified exposure across 5G/telecommunications, SATCOM and space, defense
and aerospace, and semiconductor and quantum computing markets provides multiple potential growth drivers while leveraging common RF,
microwave and semiconductor capabilities across the organization.

| ●
|
Scaling
commercialization and recurring production revenue |
| |
|
| ●
|
Advancing
5G O-RAN radio and MMIC programs |
| ●
|

|
| ●
|
Improving
operational efficiency and margin performance as product and shipment mix evolves |
| |
|
| ●
|
Maintaining
disciplined investment in engineering, testing, manufacturing capacity and business development |
| |
|
| ●
|
Supporting
long-term sustainable growth and shareholder value creation |
“The
second quarter showed strong sequential revenue momentum, with revenue increasing approximately 51% from Q1 to $8.07 million and gross
profit increasing more than 160% year-over-year,” said Fawad Maqbool, Chief Executive Officer of AmpliTech Group. These results
reinforce that monetization is already underway across our platform; our focus now is to scale that monetization as additional programs
progress through commercialization and toward larger-volume opportunities.”
Mr.
Maqbool continued, “Gross margin was 27.9% in Q2, below the 48.0% achieved in Q1 but materially above the 7.8% reported in Q2 2025.
Quarter-to-quarter margin performance can vary based on product and shipment mix, and we remain focused on improving operating leverage
as our business scales. During Q2, we increased investment in R&D, particularly in 5G and MMIC development, and expanded marketing
and business development activities. These investments affected the near-term bottom line, but they are intended to support broader commercialization
and future operating scale.”
Mr.
Maqbool concluded, “AmpliTech is positioned across four principal growth markets, 5G and telecommunications, SATCOM and space,
defense and aerospace, and semiconductor and quantum computing, while leveraging common RF, microwave and semiconductor capabilities
across the organization, the combined TAM’s on these segments in the billions of dollars. We believe this diversification, together
with our strengthened capital position following the Series A Rights closing, provides a strong foundation for disciplined execution
and long-term shareholder value creation.”
