Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Comtech Telecommunications reported mixed but improving results for its second quarter ended January 31, 2026. Net sales fell to $106.8 million from $126.6 million a year earlier as the company intentionally exited low‑margin satellite contracts and absorbed impacts from a U.S. government shutdown.
Despite lower revenue, gross margin strengthened sharply to 33.9%, up from 26.7%, and Adjusted EBITDA rose to $9.1 million from $2.9 million. Operating loss narrowed to $1.2 million, while net loss attributable to common shareholders was $20.2 million, or $0.68 per share.
Bookings were strong at $175.4 million, a 1.64x book‑to‑bill ratio, lifting funded backlog to $731.6 million and revenue visibility to about $1.1 billion. The company generated its fourth consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow, with $4.9 million from operations and quarter‑end liquidity of $49.9 million, but remains highly leveraged with sizable credit facility and convertible preferred stock obligations.
Positive
- Margin and earnings quality improvement: Gross margin rose from 26.7% to 33.9%, Adjusted EBITDA increased from $2.9 million to $9.1 million, and operating loss narrowed to $1.2 million despite a 15.6% revenue decline, indicating successful mix shift and cost actions.
- Strong demand indicators: Net bookings reached $175.4 million with a 1.64x book-to-bill ratio, funded backlog was $731.6 million, and revenue visibility was about $1.1 billion, providing multi-quarter sales support.
- Return to consistent cash generation: The company produced $4.9 million of operating cash flow in the quarter, its fourth consecutive positive quarter, while ending with total liquidity of $49.9 million.
Negative
- Continuing losses and leverage risk: Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $20.2 million for the quarter, and the company carries $124.7 million under its Credit Facility, about $102.8 million under its Subordinated Credit Facility, and convertible preferred stock with a $213.4 million liquidation preference.
- Covenant suspension reflects prior stress: Net leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage covenants under the Credit Facility and Subordinated Credit Facility remain suspended until the four-quarter period ending January 31, 2027, highlighting lender sensitivity to past financial performance.
- Dilution and capital stack overhang: Large outstanding convertible preferred stock and warrant and derivative liabilities of $23.0 million contribute to a complex capital structure that could pressure common equity economics over time.

COMTECH ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2026
Chandler, Ariz. – March 16, 2026 – Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) (“Comtech” or the “Company”), a global communications technology leader, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended January 31, 2026.
Ken Traub, Chairman, President and CEO, stated:
“Comtech continued on its positive trajectory of improvement, as we delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow and ended the quarter with approximately $50 million of total liquidity. With net bookings of $175 million in the quarter, we have achieved a book-to-bill ratio of 1.64x, increased our backlog to $732 million and maintained our revenue visibility at approximately $1.1 billion. As previously disclosed, we have streamlined our product lines and are more selective in the customer orders we accept. As a result of these deliberate decisions, as well as the temporary impact of the U.S. government shutdown, consolidated net sales decreased from $127 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 to $107 million this past quarter. But importantly, we increased gross profit from $34 million to $36 million, increased our gross profit percentage from 27% to 34% and increased Adjusted EBITDA from $2.9 million to $9.1 million. These improvements are due to the initiatives we have implemented to enhance operational efficiency, reduce the cost structure and focus our product development and sales efforts on strategic, higher operating margin products. As a result of our improved performance and stronger financial position, we continue to see increased support and enthusiasm from current and prospective customers, vendors and employees.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results Commentary
Consolidated
Consolidated net sales were $106.8 million, a decrease of 15.6% compared to $126.6 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. As anticipated, the decline in net sales in the Satellite and Space Communications (“S&S”) segment primarily reflects the Company’s decision to phase out and eliminate certain low margin and working capital intensive revenues, as well as the impact of the recent U.S. government shutdown. Examples include contracts for services, including the Very Small Aperture Terminal (“VSAT”) Satellite Systems and Services contract and the Global Field Service Representative (“GFSR”) contract, as well as legacy troposcatter related products and services. As part of this repositioning, S&S is pursuing sales of innovative, higher-margin solutions, such as digital common ground modems, network solutions and rapidly deployable multi-path radios (“MPRs”). Allerium reported higher net sales in all three of its product areas compared to the prior year period.
Consolidated gross profit was $36.2 million, or 33.9% of consolidated net sales, an increase from $33.7 million, or 26.7% of consolidated net sales, reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The year-over-year improvement in consolidated gross profit, both in dollars and as a percentage of net sales, reflects overall product mix changes and improved operational and financial performance as a result of the Company’s transformation initiatives to, among other things, enhance operational efficiency, streamline product lines with a focus on strategic, higher operating margin products and reduce cost structures. The improvement in the Company’s quarterly gross profit percentage builds upon the improving quarterly trend achieved throughout fiscal 2025 and the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
1
Consolidated operating loss was $1.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $10.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The improvement from the second quarter of fiscal 2025 is primarily the result of higher gross profit, both in dollars and as a percentage of consolidated net sales, and lower selling, general and administrative expenses, including lower restructuring costs, no proxy solicitation costs and lower amortization of stock-based compensation, offset in part by higher CEO transition costs that included a net benefit from the recovery of certain legal related expenses in the prior year period. Operating loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 reflects $5.0 million of amortization of intangibles, $1.6 million of restructuring costs (of which $0.7 million and $0.9 million related to the S&S and Unallocated segments, respectively), $0.4 million of amortization of stock-based compensation and $0.3 million of CEO transition costs. Excluding such items, consolidated operating income for this past quarter would have been $6.2 million, or 5.8% of consolidated net sales.
Consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders was $20.2 million, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $22.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. In addition to those items described above, and as more fully discussed in the Company’s SEC filings, the more recent period included $6.5 million of net dividends related to the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock, compared to $26.4 million of net deemed contributions in the prior year period.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (a Non-GAAP financial measure) was $9.1 million, compared to $2.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, representing an increase of 214%. The year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA reflects the improvement in operating income described above and the Non-GAAP reconciliations described in the appendix.
Consolidated net bookings were $175.4 million, an increase of 120.9% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Consolidated net bookings include over $107.0 million of incremental funding toward a multi-year contract extension, valued in excess of $130.0 million and awarded to Comtech’s Allerium segment by a domestic Tier 1 mobile network operator. The book-to-bill ratio in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was 1.64x, compared to 0.63x in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. As part of the Company’s transformation plan, it has refocused and prioritized its product development and sales efforts to eliminate certain low-margin revenue and target higher-margin opportunities in which it has greater differentiation and to optimize cash flow.
Consolidated backlog was $731.6 million as of January 31, 2026, compared to $763.8 million as of January 31, 2025 and $672.1 million as of July 31, 2025. Revenue visibility, measured as the sum of funded backlog and the total unfunded value of certain multi-year contracts, was approximately $1.1 billion at the end of the second quarter.
GAAP cash flows provided by operations were $4.9 million, an improvement from the second quarter of fiscal 2025 cash flows used in operations of $0.2 million. This is Comtech’s fourth consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flows and reflects improved operating income and favorable changes in networking capital requirements, due primarily to improved accountability and process disciplines, as well as the timing of and progress toward completion on contracts accounted for over time, including related shipments, billings and collections.
Operating cash flows in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 include aggregate net cash payments for interest and taxes of $4.9 million, compared to $5.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Operating cash flows for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 also include $4.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in aggregate net cash payments for restructuring costs, including severance, proxy solicitation costs and CEO transition costs.
Satellite and Space Communications (“S&S”) Segment
S&S net sales were $50.6 million, a decrease of 31.3% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. As anticipated, the decline in net sales in the S&S segment primarily reflects the Company’s decision to phase out and eliminate certain low margin and working capital intensive revenues, as well as the impact of the recent U.S. government shutdown. Examples include contracts for services, including its legacy VSAT, GFSR and troposcatter related products and services. As part of this repositioning, S&S is pursuing sales of innovative, higher-margin solutions, such as digital common ground modems, network solutions and rapidly deployable MPRs.
S&S operating income was $2.5 million, compared to operating income of $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. S&S operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was impacted by $0.7 million of restructuring costs to streamline its operations, compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The year-over-year improvement in S&S operating income primarily reflects lower selling, general and administrative expenses (due to cost reduction actions), partially offset by lower net sales and gross profit, in dollars, and higher research and development expenses.
S&S Adjusted EBITDA was $5.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $4.7 million in the prior year period. Compared to the prior year period, Adjusted EBITDA reflects those factors discussed above.
S&S’ book-to-bill ratio for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was 0.68x. This ratio compares to 0.64x in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
2
Key S&S contract awards during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 included:
•over $5.5 million of funded orders from several international government end customers of Comtech’s troposcatter Family of Systems ("FoS"), including its rapidly deployable MPRs and Modular Transportable Transmission Systems ("MTTS");
•incremental funding in excess of $4.5 million for ongoing training and support of complex cybersecurity operations for U.S. government customers;
•approximately $2.8 million in funded orders for high-frequency band amplifiers for use by a provider of high-speed satellite broadband services and secure networking systems covering military and commercial markets;
•over $1.8 million in funded orders from the U.S. Navy for non-recurring engineering services;
•approximately $1.2 million in funded orders for Comtech’s software-defined, satellite communications network applications in support of upgrading domestic air traffic control platforms;
•in excess of $1.0 million in follow-on orders for high-power amplifiers in support of an electronic warfare and countermeasures space program led by a U.S. government agency; and
•over $1.0 million in funded orders for products and services related to electrical, electronic and electro-mechanical (“EEE”) space parts and components in support of an international end customer’s rocket launch initiatives.
In September 2025, as part of the Company’s operational efficiency and cost savings plans, S&S decided to migrate certain production capabilities and operational functions to its manufacturing operations in Chandler, Arizona. This initiative is expected to be substantially completed in fiscal 2026, result in increased manufacturing efficiencies, allow S&S to further optimize its facilities footprint and result in recurring annualized cost savings over time of approximately $3.0 million.
In March 2025, S&S also announced the delivery of its first Digital Common Ground 7000 (“DCG-7000”) high speed, small form factor, software-defined modems to Lite Coms for integration, interoperability and performance testing across diverse government and commercial satellite communications applications and ground terminal configurations. DCG-7000 modems support DVB-S2X, along with other protected waveforms, and incorporates modern cybersecurity design principles, including integrated Transmission Security (“TRANSEC”) for over-the-air transmission.
Allerium Segment
Allerium net sales were $56.2 million, an increase of 6.2% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Compared to the prior year period, Allerium experienced higher net sales in all three product areas (location-based, NG-911 and call handling solutions). Such increase reflects the continued adoption of Allerium’s solutions by new customers, as well as the migration of more PSAPs onto Allerium’s NG-911 core services, cloud-based platforms and monthly recurring revenue streams.
Allerium operating income was $5.5 million, compared to $3.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The year-over-year increase in Allerium’s operating income primarily reflects higher net sales and gross profit (both in dollars and as a percentage of segment net sales) and lower research and development expenses while Allerium evaluates and invests in cloud-based and AI-infused software applications designed to deliver advanced emergency communication platforms to its customers. Such improvement in Allerium’s operating income was offset, in part, by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
Allerium’s Adjusted EBITDA was $11.3 million, compared to $8.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Compared to the prior year period, Adjusted EBITDA reflects those factors discussed above.
Allerium’s book-to-bill ratio in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was 2.51x, compared to 0.61x in the prior year period.
With strategic wins in the U.S., Canada and Australia, the Company believes its position as a trusted leader in 911, NG-911 and public safety applications positions Allerium increasingly well to deliver similarly sophisticated solutions for other types of emergencies. New emergency requesting devices, such as “wearables,” vehicles, smart speakers and AI capable cameras, and new delivery methods, such as through satellite networks, are expected to drive innovation and growth for Allerium within the public safety market over time.
3
Key Allerium contract awards during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 included:
•over $107.0 million of incremental funding toward a multi-year contract extension, valued in excess of $130.0 million, by Allerium’s largest customer, a leading telecommunications company in the U.S.;
•in excess of $10.5 million in multi-year funding toward the deployment of a new NG-911 system in the south central region of the U.S.;
•approximately $3.0 million of funding from a domestic Tier 1 mobile network operator for advanced mobile location center software features;
•over $2.0 million of incremental funding for certain upgrades to an existing NG-911 customer’s statewide platform;
•approximately $2.0 million of funding related to an existing customer’s renewal of backend 911 communication-related services ultimately provided to other telecom providers, VoIP companies and messaging platforms;
•in excess of $1.6 million of funding for a new multi-year contract to deploy Allerium’s NG-911 Guardian call handling solutions in a Canadian province;
•approximately $1.6 million of incremental funding from a domestic Tier 1 mobile network operator for various ESInet and location-based solutions;
•approximately $1.5 million of funding to provide software engineering services to Allerium’s largest customer in support of new features for wireless communication applications; and
•in excess of $1.0 million of funding related to an existing customer’s renewal of Allerium’s NG-911 Guardian call handling solution in a Northeastern state.
Litigation Update
As previously disclosed, in March 2024, Comtech terminated Ken Peterman, its President and CEO at the time, for Cause. Also, as previously disclosed, Mr. Peterman filed a claim against the Company with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) claiming he was owed direct contractual damages in excess of $6 million and consequential damages in excess of $35 million. Comtech has defended itself and filed counterclaims against Mr. Peterman seeking damages for breach of fiduciary duty, malicious prosecution, abuse of process, breach of contract and defamation. In January 2026, Mr. Peterman's counsel wrote to the AAA with two motions, (i) voluntarily withdrawing Mr. Peterman's claims against Comtech, and (ii) seeking dismissal of Comtech's counterclaims against Mr. Peterman. In January 2026, the AAA granted Mr. Peterman’s motion to withdraw all of his claims against Comtech in the arbitration, but rejected Mr. Peterman's motion for dismissal of Comtech's counterclaims. Comtech’s counterclaims are still pending against Mr. Peterman.
Capital Structure and Liquidity
As previously disclosed, Comtech amended its Credit Facility and Subordinated Credit Facility on October 17, 2024, March 3, 2025 and July 21, 2025 to, among other things, suspend testing of the Net Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants until the four-quarter period ending on January 31, 2027. Such amendments, combined with the Company’s significantly improved operational and financial performance, led to Comtech’s enhanced financial flexibility and removal of its going concern disclosures in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K filed in November 2025.
At January 31, 2026 and March 13, 2026:
•Total outstanding borrowings under Comtech’s Credit Facility was $124.7 million; of such amount, $7.6 million was drawn on the Revolver Loan (reflecting repayments of $5.0 million on each of December 1, 2025 and January 8, 2026);
•Total outstanding borrowings under Comtech’s Subordinated Credit Facility were $102.8 million and $103.4 million, respectively, including interest paid-in-kind or accrued on the $35.0 million subordinated priority term loan; such amounts do not include the $32.5 million Make-Whole Amount associated with the $65.0 million portion of the Subordinated Credit Facility (pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated Credit Facility, as of both January 31, 2026 and March 13, 2026, the Make-Whole Amount percentage for each tranche within the $65.0 million of principal is 50.0%);
4
•The liquidation preference of the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock was $213.4 million and $215.7 million, respectively (excluding potential increases in the liquidation preference and other obligations that could be triggered by, among other things, breaches of covenants and/or asset sales resulting in a change in control of the Company); and
•The Company’s available sources of liquidity totaled $49.9 million and $38.0 million, respectively, which includes qualified cash and cash equivalents of $30.2 million and $18.4 million, respectively, and the remaining available portion of the Revolver Loan of $19.6 million as of each date.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s financial results, this release contains “Non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the SEC. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measure that represents earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill, amortization of cost to fulfill assets, amortization of stock-based compensation, CEO transition costs, change in fair value of warrants and derivatives, proxy solicitation costs, restructuring costs, strategic emerging technology costs (for next-generation satellite technology), and write-off of deferred financing costs and debt discounts, and in the recent past, acquisition plan expenses, change in fair value of the convertible preferred stock purchase option liability, COVID-19 related costs, facility exit costs, strategic alternatives expenses and other and loss on business divestiture. These items, while periodically affecting its results, may vary significantly from period to period and may have a disproportionate effect in a given period, thereby affecting the comparability of results. Although closely aligned, the Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA is different than EBITDA (as such term is defined in its Credit Facility and Subordinated Credit Facility) utilized for financial covenant calculations and also may differ from the definition of EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, as well as adjusted operating income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders and net income (loss) per diluted common share, as presented in the tables, are Non-GAAP measures. These Non-GAAP measures are frequently requested by investors and analysts. The Company believes that investors and analysts may use these Non-GAAP measures along with other information contained in its SEC filings, including GAAP measures, in assessing its performance and comparability of its results with other companies. The Company’s Non-GAAP measures reflect the GAAP measures as reported, adjusted for certain items as described herein and also excludes the effects of the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock. These Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool as they exclude the financial impact of transactions necessary to conduct its business, such as the granting of equity compensation awards, and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures are adjusted as described in the reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures in the tables presented herein, but these adjustments should not be construed as an inference that all of these adjustments or costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors are advised to carefully review the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings. As the Company has not provided future Non-GAAP financial guidance or targets, there is no need to reconcile its business outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Furthermore, even if guidance or targets had been provided, items such as stock-based compensation, adjustments to the provision for income taxes, amortization of intangibles and interest expense, which are specific items that impact these measures, have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control, or cannot be predicted at this time. For example, quantification of stock-based compensation expense requires inputs such as the number of shares granted and market price that are not currently ascertainable. Accordingly, reconciliations to the Non-GAAP forward looking metrics would not be available without unreasonable effort and such unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the Company’s financial results.
