Insights
Q1 2026 shows narrowing losses and stronger margins, but revenue contracted and cash remains tight.
Smith Micro generated Q1 2026 revenue of $4.221M, down from $4.621M in Q1 2025, indicating top-line pressure. Despite this, gross margin improved to 78.4%, reflecting lower cost of revenues and tighter operating discipline.
GAAP net loss declined to $3.897M, with non-GAAP net loss at $1.510M, showing meaningful expense reductions across R&D and G&A. Management highlights organizational changes and a growing pipeline, and references new business under contract expected to support revenue in Q2 2026.
Liquidity remains a key consideration: cash and cash equivalents were $1.742M as of March 31, 2026, and operating cash outflow was $3.752M for the quarter. The company raised $4.000M from convertible notes, notes payable and warrants offerings to support operations, and also recorded $1.901M in non-current convertible notes payable on the balance sheet.

Smith Micro Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
PITTSBURGH, PA, April 29, 2026 – Smith Micro Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMSI) (“Smith Micro” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
“During the first quarter, we continued to build on the organizational and operational changes implemented over the past year, and those efforts are beginning to show tangible results,” said Tim Huffmyer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Smith Micro. “Q1 reflected meaningful improvement across the business, as we increased focus, enhanced execution, and drove better operating discipline which resulted in increased revenue, increased gross margin, and decreased operating expenses as compared to the fourth quarter of 2025.”
“With strong customer engagement, expanding opportunities with both existing and prospective customers, and increased operating focus, we believe we are at an important inflection point,” Huffmyer continued. “As we move forward, our priority remains driving revenue growth, increasing operational leverage, and delivering sustainable profitability, supported by a growing pipeline and continued momentum throughout the remainder of 2026. With the new business under contract and expected to close in the near term, we anticipate topline growth in the second quarter.”
First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Smith Micro reported revenue of $4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $4.6 million reported in the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $3.3 million, compared to $3.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 78.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 72.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
GAAP net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $3.9 million, or $0.15 loss per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.28 loss per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $1.5 million, or $0.06 loss per share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.16 loss per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Non-GAAP net loss excludes the items noted below under "Non-GAAP Measures."

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company considers, and has included in this press release, the following non-GAAP financial measures and a non-GAAP reconciliation from the equivalent GAAP metric: non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP gross profit, and non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per share in the presentation of financial results in this press release. Management believes these non-GAAP presentations may be more meaningful in analyzing the Company's income generation and has therefore excluded the following items from GAAP earnings calculations: stock compensation, intangibles amortization, depreciation, fair value adjustments, and other items, which includes amortization of debt discount and financing issuance costs, executive transition costs, and costs associated with corporate actions. Additionally, since the Company currently has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized to reduce future cash payments for income taxes, these non-GAAP adjustments have not been tax effected, and the resulting income tax expense reflects actual taxes paid or accrued during each period. This presentation may be considered more indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance. The tables below labeled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results" present the differences between non-GAAP net loss and net loss on an absolute and per-share basis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and the non-GAAP financial measures as reported by Smith Micro may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release are, and certain statements on the related conference call may be, forward-looking statements regarding future events or results within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, including statements related to our financial prospects, goals and other projections of our outlook or performance our cost reduction plans and other future business plans, and statements using such words as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “could,” “will” and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Among the important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are customer concentration, given that the majority of our sales currently depend on a few large customer relationships; our ability to establish and maintain strategic relationships with our customers and mobile device manufacturers, their ability to attract customers, and their willingness to promote our products; our ability and/or customers’ ability to distribute our mobile software applications to their end users through third party mobile software application stores, which we do not control; our dependency upon effective operation with operating systems, devices, networks and standards that we do not control and on our continued relationships with mobile operating system providers, device manufacturers and mobile software application stores; our ability to hire and retain key personnel; the possibility of security and privacy breaches in our systems and in the third-party software and/or systems that we use, damaging client relations and inhibiting our ability to grow; interruptions or delays in the services we provide from our data center and cloud hosting facilities; the existence of undetected software defects in our products and our failure to resolve detected defects in a timely manner; our ability to remain a going concern; our ability to raise additional capital and the risk of such capital not being available to us at commercially reasonable terms or at all; our ability to be profitable; current and potential future negative impacts from cost reduction efforts we have taken and may in the future undertake; unanticipated delays or obstacles in our development and release cycles; the degree to which competing business needs or resource constraints may affect our allocation of resources to planned projects; changes in our operating income due to shifts in our sales mix and variability in our operating expenses; adverse impact to our results of operations if we fail to realize the full value of our intangible assets; our current client concentration within the vertical wireless carrier market, and the potential impact to our business resulting from changes within this vertical market, or failure to penetrate new markets; rapid technological evolution and resulting changes in demand for our products from our key customers and their end users; intense competition in our industry and the core vertical markets in which we operate, and our ability to successfully compete; the risks inherent with international operations; the impact of evolving information security and data privacy laws on our business and industry; the impact of governmental regulations on our business and industry; our ability to protect our intellectual property and our ability to operate our business without infringing on the rights of others; and the risk of being delisted from Nasdaq if we continue to fail to meet any of its applicable listing requirements. These and other factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this release are made on the basis of the views and assumptions of management, and we do not undertake any obligation to update these statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this release.
