Rekor Systems, Inc. reported second-quarter 2026 results showing modest revenue growth but a sharp improvement in profitability metrics. Revenue for the quarter was $12.7 million, up about 23% sequentially and 2% year over year, with no large, non-recurring software deals, and driven by expanding recurring revenue. Recurring revenue grew 14% in the quarter and 21% for the first half, reaching $6.7 million and $13.3 million, respectively.
Adjusted gross margin increased to 56.2% from 49.5% a year earlier as higher-margin software and recurring revenue became a larger share of the mix. Operating performance improved significantly: income from operations was $0.2 million versus a loss of $7.7 million in the prior-year quarter, helped by a $2.8 million one-time gain on lease remeasurement and lower operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $1.2 million from $5.8 million, a 79% improvement, and first-half Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $7.7 million from $13.1 million. The company reduced headcount by 20% in the first half and cut operating costs, which, together with tighter working capital management, reduced operating cash burn to $2.4 million in the quarter. Management reiterates its goal of achieving Adjusted EBITDA profitability in the second half of 2026 and is evaluating refinancing options for its Prime Revenue Sharing Notes.
Rekor Systems released preliminary, unaudited second quarter 2026 results that indicate significantly better operating performance following a major operational realignment. The company expects its Adjusted EBITDA loss to narrow 78% year over year to approximately $1.3 million and ended the quarter with about $10 million in cash, despite incurring restructuring costs.
Management highlighted a roughly 20% headcount reduction and consolidation of overseas engineering operations, previously estimated to cut annual operating expenses by about $7.5 million, with several million dollars of further non-headcount efficiencies identified. Rekor launched its Go-Secure.Video media-authentication platform and is in commercial discussions with large potential partners. Based on current outlook, the company expects to achieve profitability on an Adjusted EBITDA basis during the second half of 2026 and believes its improved liquidity will support ongoing evaluation of refinancing alternatives for its Prime Revenue Sharing Notes. All figures are preliminary and subject to completion of normal closing and review procedures.

Rekor Systems reported Q1 2026 revenue of $10.3 million, up 12% from Q1 2025, driven by data-as-a-service and roadway intelligence growth. Gross margin improved to 53%, compared with 48% a year earlier, reflecting a higher mix of software and data revenue.
Loss from operations narrowed to $8.8 million from $10.1 million, while net loss improved to $9.4 million from $10.9 million.

Cash and equivalents were $12.2 million as of March 31, 2026, down from $16.6 million at year-end, reflecting seasonal patterns and restructuring costs.
The company reduced headcount by about 16% (45 positions) from the end of 2025, with most savings expected in Q2 2026. Rekor is evaluating refinancing its Prime Revenue Sharing Notes to lower its cost of capital and plans to bring its GoSecure™ evidence-authentication product to market in Q3 2026.
