Analysis · BOXL · Trade & Services
A surprise Q2 profit of $0.5 million, reversing a $4.7 million loss a year ago, was driven by a $2.8 million tariff refund that lifted gross margin to 49.8%. The company also completed a $4.8 million equity raise in August, using $2.25 million to repay WhiteHawk debt and regaining compliance with Nasdaq's minimum stockholders' equity requirement. However, revenue fell 16% and the company remains in covenant default, with only a limited waiver through July 31, 2026. The turnaround is fragile: the profit relies on one-time tariff refunds, and the balance sheet shows negative working capital and $34.1 million in debt.
