Insights

High-margin consumable growth and record orders support TOMI’s 2026 revenue ambitions.

TOMI is emphasizing the scaling of its Razor and Blade model. Installed SteraMist systems drive recurring demand for BIT Solution, which historically carries gross margins above 80%. BIT sales rose from $872,380 in 2024 to $1,065,172 in 2025, with Q1 2026 adding about $427,000.

Total Q1 2026 orders of roughly $3.36 million and preliminary revenue of around $1.7 million underpin management’s statement that the company is positioned to potentially exceed $12 million in 2026 revenue. Expected growth in 55-gallon drum sales, tied to automated integrations scheduled by year-end, further reinforces the recurring, high-margin component of the model.

The main execution dependencies are continued customer adoption of iHP-based systems and successful conversion of the current order pipeline into recognized revenue. Future company filings and updates will clarify whether these preliminary trends translate into sustained profitability.

Razor and Blade business model financial
"TOMI employs a Razor and Blade business model for iHP decontamination."
A razor and blade business model is one in which a company sells a low-cost or one-time core product and makes most of its profit from repeat purchases of complementary items, parts, or services required to keep the product working. For investors, this matters because it can create steady, predictable follow-on revenue, high customer switching costs and strong margins over time—similar to buying a cheap printer but paying repeatedly for expensive ink cartridges.
Binary Ionization Technology technical
"its premier Binary Ionization Technology® (BIT™) platform."
Binary ionization technology is a method that uses controlled electrical charges to change or activate substances at a molecular level, often for purposes like sterilization or purification. For investors, it matters because innovations in this technology can lead to new products or processes that improve efficiency and safety, potentially creating new market opportunities and driving growth in related industries.
ionized Hydrogen Peroxide technical
"to produce a fog of ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP™)."
Ionized hydrogen peroxide is a form of hydrogen peroxide that has been electrically charged to create reactive particles. This process enhances its ability to kill germs and break down contaminants, making it more effective for cleaning and disinfecting. For investors, understanding its use and effectiveness can be important when evaluating companies involved in health, sanitation, or innovative cleaning technologies.
recurring revenue financial
"contribute to ongoing high-margin recurring revenue."
Revenue that a company expects to receive on a regular, predictable basis from ongoing sources such as subscriptions, service contracts, or repeat customer purchases. It matters to investors because it provides steadier cash flow and makes future earnings easier to forecast—like a landlord collecting monthly rent instead of one-off sales—supporting higher valuations and lower risk when those payments are reliable and customers tend to stay.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

TOMI Reports Strong Q1 2026 Sales of High-Margin BIT Solution, Indicating Positive Growth Trends

 

Frederick, MD – April 14, 2026 – TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.® (“TOMI”) (NASDAQ: TOMZ), a global leader in disinfection/decontamination solutions reports preliminary unaudited BIT Solution revenue for the first quarter of 2026. TOMI employs a Razor and Blade business model for iHP decontamination.  The Company sells a durable primary delivery system (the “razor”) under the SteraMist brand, at a competitive price point.  Delivery system sales drive ongoing demand for our EPA- registered BIT solution, a high-margin consumable (the "blade").  BIT Solution sales have historically generated gross margins in excess of 80%, well above TOMI’s historical consolidated gross margins.

 

Since 2024, BIT solution sales have shown steady annual growth, increasing from $872,380 in 2024 to $1,065,172 in 2025.  In the first quarter of 2026, BIT solution sales and orders totaled approximately $427,000.

 

TOMI sells 55-gallon drums, which play a crucial role in SteraMist automated integration builds and contribute to ongoing high-margin recurring revenue.  Historically, sales of these 55-gallon drums occur in the latter half of the year; in 2024, TOMI sold five (5) 55-gallon drums, increasing to seven (7) drums in 2025.  This year, TOMI anticipates selling ten (10) drums, driven by a growing pipeline of automated integration builds scheduled for delivery by year-end.

 

As noted in the Company’s previous press release, total orders produced in the first quarter amounted to approximately $3,360,000 million, with preliminary figures indicating approximately $1.7 million in recognized revenue for the quarter. This $3.3 million in orders positions TOMI to potentially exceed $12 million in revenue for the 2026 fiscal year.

 

Dr. Halden Shane, CEO of TOMI Environmental Solutions commented, “Our razor-razor blade model is beginning to show tangible results after years of growing the installed base of SteraMist delivery systems with customers. The primary goal of the Company is to achieve sustained and growing profitability. The timeline for achieving this has always been largely dependent on how quickly the iHP technology can foster customer adoption, establishing a recurring revenue stream from our proprietary BIT Solution sales, a high-margin consumable which offsets the initial hardware sales.”
