• Q1 2026 Financial Performance

  Revenue increased by 5% to $1.65 million compared to Q1 2025. Operating expenses decreased by 15% to $1.46 million, leading to a reduced operating loss of $(626k). However, net loss widened to $(810k) from $(255k) in Q1 2025, primarily due to the absence of a one-time Employee Retention Credit benefit.

• Persistent Going Concern and Material Weakness

  The company continues to report substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, citing limited finance resources and ineffective review procedures.

• Transformational Merger LOI with Carbonium Core

  As a subsequent event, the company executed a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to merge with Carbonium Core, Inc., implying a $120 million enterprise valuation for Carbonium Core. The merger, if completed, would involve issuing new TOMI common stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to shareholder approval.

• Improved Liquidity and Sales Pipeline Growth

  Cash and cash equivalents increased to $280k from $88k at December 31, 2025. The integrated project pipeline grew to $4.3 million, and the company secured a $440k annual purchase order for recurring decontamination services. Further drawdowns totaling $419,779 were made from the Equity Line of Credit in April 2026.

TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. reported mixed Q1 2026 financial results, with a 5% revenue increase and a 15% reduction in operating expenses, leading to a reduced operating loss and positive cash flow from operations. However, the net loss significantly widened due to the absence of a one-time Employee Retention Credit benefit from the prior year. The company continues to disclose substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and reported persistent material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting. Crucially, the filing highlights a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to merge with Carbonium Core, a strategic move that could be transformational given Carbonium Core's implied $120 million enterprise valuation compared to TOMI's current market capitalization. This potential merger, along with recent regulatory approvals and continued utilization of an Equity Line of Credit, provides a pathway for future growth and liquidity, but the execution risks and ongoing financial challenges remain significant.
