Energy Focus, Inc. reported a sharp rebound in activity for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with net sales of $3.7 million, up 228.0% from a year earlier and 295.0% sequentially.

Profitability weakened significantly. Gross margin fell to (6.8)% from 12.9% a year earlier, primarily due to higher inventory reserves; adjusted gross margin declined to 4.5%.

The company also highlights substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern in its risk disclosures.
