Total revenue for the first half of 2026 was $53.6 million, up from $25.8 million in 2025, and net income turned to a $22.1 million profit from a $3.5 million loss. Second quarter 2026 revenue was $19.9 million versus $15.7 million a year earlier, with net income of $3.8 million versus $0.2 million.
