Genasys estimates FY2026 revenue at $60.5M–$62M
The estimates remain subject to an independent audit, and complete fiscal 2026 results are scheduled for release after market close on December 15, 2026.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Genasys Inc. (GNSS) announced preliminary, unaudited fiscal fourth-quarter and fiscal 2026 results for the year ended September 30, 2026. Fourth-quarter revenue is expected at $20.5 million to $22.0 million, gross margin at 66% to 68%, and adjusted EBITDA at $7.0 million to $8.0 million; full-year revenue is expected at $60.5 million to $62.0 million, gross margin at 58% to 60%, and adjusted EBITDA at $7.2 million to $8.2 million. Operating income is expected to range between $6 and $6 for the fourth quarter and between $3 and $3 for fiscal 2026.
The estimates are subject to an independent audit that has not concluded. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure; Genasys said it could not provide an estimated net income (loss) range without unreasonable effort or expense because its year-end tax review was at an early stage. CEO Richard Danforth said activity on the Puerto Rico Dams Early Warning System project ramped back up, the scheduled CROWS II Technical Refresh order was delivered, and the software business continued to grow.
Complete results are scheduled for release after market close on December 15, 2026, followed by a conference call at 4:30 p.m. Eastern / 1:30 p.m. Pacific.

Genasys Inc. Announces Preliminary Unaudited Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
Expected Fiscal Year Revenue of $60.5M to $62.0M
Expected Fiscal Year Adjusted EBITDA of $7.2M to $8.2M
Earnings Call Scheduled for December 15, 2026
SAN DIEGO, CA – October 29, 2026 – Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader in Protective Communications®, today announced preliminary unaudited financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2026. The Company also announced plans to release complete fiscal fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026 financial results after the market close on Tuesday, December 15, 2026. A conference call to discuss the fiscal year financial results will be held on the same day at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time / 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time.
Preliminary Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2026 Results
Complete financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and the full fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, will be released after the market close on December 15, 2026. A conference call to discuss the results will follow.
Management Commentary
“This was a record year for Genasys, and our fourth quarter results show the strength of our business as we head into the new fiscal year,” said Richard Danforth, Genasys’ Chief Executive Officer. “In the quarter, activity in our Puerto Rico Dams Early Warning System (EWS) project ramped back up, we delivered the scheduled Common Remotely Operated
Weapon Station (CROWS) II Technical Refresh program order, and our software business continued to grow as more agencies move away from legacy systems to Genasys Protect.
“With momentum across both our hardware and software businesses, we enter fiscal 2027 with a strong backlog and a growing pipeline. I’m proud of what our team accomplished this year, and we look forward to providing more detail on our results and fiscal year 2027 outlook during our earnings call in December.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
We include in this press release adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and which we believe provides helpful information to investors with respect to evaluating the Company’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents our net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation, fair value measurements of our term loans and warrants, other non-recurring expense, and other items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions regarding allocation of capital and invest in initiatives that are focused on cultivating new markets for our solutions. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. However, since adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, it is not necessarily comparable with adjusted EBITDA used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for performance measures calculated under GAAP, including net income (loss), which is the most closely comparable GAAP measure. Because of the early state of the Company’s year-end tax review process, the Company is unable without unreasonable effort or expense to provide an estimated range of net income (loss) at this time.
Voluntary Disclosure; No Inferences
Consistent with its approach to the third fiscal quarter 2026, Genasys is voluntarily providing preliminary unaudited results in the interest of transparency during a fiscal year in which it navigated headwinds stemming from factors largely outside of its control. Investors are cautioned not to draw any inference from the Company’s decision to provide these preliminary results that it will continue to do so in future fiscal quarters or fiscal years. Genasys is not required by law or otherwise to provide such preliminary results, and it does not undertake any obligation to do so in the future.
