• Record Q2 Revenue and Profitability

  Revenue reached $33.9 million, up 29.9% year-over-year, with subscription revenue surging to $3.2 million from $0.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $6.7 million, including a $3.75 million tariff refund; excluding the refund, adjusted EBITDA was $2.9 million versus $0.5 million a year ago.

• Updated Full-Year Guidance

  Revenue guidance maintained at $118–$122 million. Gross margin guidance raised to 53–55% (from 50–52%) and adjusted EBITDA guidance raised to $10.75–$12.75 million (from $7–$9 million), with the increases solely reflecting the one-time tariff refund benefit.

• Financial Statement Revision

  Management identified errors in stock-based compensation expense due to valuation miscalculations. Prior periods will be revised; the errors were deemed immaterial to past financials but would be material if corrected in Q2 2026 alone.

• Strong Balance Sheet and Cash Position

  Cash and equivalents stood at $30.9 million as of June 30, 2026, with total assets of $93.6 million. The company drew $17.1 million on its line of credit, up from $6.9 million at year-end 2025.

A standout quarter saw revenue surge 30% to a record $33.9 million, while adjusted EBITDA swung to a $6.7 million profit. The results were boosted by a one-time $3.75 million tariff refund, but even excluding that, adjusted EBITDA of $2.9 million marks a dramatic improvement from the prior year's $0.5 million. Full-year gross margin and adjusted EBITDA guidance were raised solely due to the tariff benefit, while revenue targets remain unchanged. However, the filing also discloses a revision of prior financial statements due to stock-based compensation errors—deemed immaterial to past periods but introducing a governance overhang. The strong operating momentum is tempered by the accounting correction and the fact that the guidance raise is entirely from a non-recurring item.
