Revenue Growth Led by Procurement
Total revenue increased 13% YoY to $6.5M in Q2 2026, with procurement revenue surging 64% to $2.0M, driven by AI-related equipment sales. Managed IT services grew 8% to $3.8M.
-
Losses Widen on Supply Chain Costs
Net loss expanded to $1.4M from $1.1M a year ago. A large customer order turned unprofitable after supply chain constraints forced higher component and freight costs, contributing to a 32.7% increase in cost of revenue.
-
Cash Burn and Liquidity
Operating activities used $0.8M in cash during H1 2026, compared to $0.9M provided a year earlier. Cash and equivalents totaled $7.5M at quarter-end, with no long-term debt.
-
Deferred Revenue and Backlog
Deferred revenue stood at $4.5M, reflecting orders booked but not yet fulfilled due to supply chain delays. This backlog is expected to convert to revenue in future quarters as products are shipped and installed.
Analysis · IPM · Technology
Revenue reached $6.5 million, fueled by a 64% surge in procurement sales tied to AI-related equipment. Supply chain constraints, however, delayed shipments and forced the company to absorb higher component costs on a large order, turning it into a loss. The net loss deepened to $1.4 million from $1.1 million a year ago. Cash burn from operations was $0.8 million in the first half, though the balance sheet remains debt-free with $7.5 million in cash. A $50 million shelf registration, effective June 18, provides flexibility but also signals potential future dilution. The company is navigating a transition: legacy subscription revenue is declining, while managed IT services and procurement are growing, albeit with margin pressure.
