Ignition+ and enterprise expansion remain central to the growth strategy. Management highlighted encouraging enterprise engagement trends and continued investment in broader go-to-market initiatives designed to improve scalability and customer diversification.

Q1 results. Q1 revenue of $723 million was modestly below our estimate of $743 million, driven by ongoing softness in the Commercial segment, while adj. EBITDA of $49 million exceeded our estimate of $38 million, driven by improved cost performance, resulting in a 6.8% adj. EBITDA margin.

Action oriented CEO. In the brief time since Harsha V. Agadi has taken over as CEO, the company has simplified its leadership structure, launched a company-wide cost review, identified $100 million in potential cost reductions, restructured sales incentives, narrowed Commercial focus to healthcare and financial services, accelerated AI deployment, and initiated its portfolio optimization strategy. Furthermore, the company is focused on faster implementation cycles, tighter financial discipline, and improved pipeline conversion.

Rocket Lab Is Up 70% This Year and Just Hit an All-Time High. The SpaceX IPO Hasn’t Even Happened Yet.

Rocket Lab USA (Nasdaq: RKLB) extended one of the more remarkable two-day runs in the commercial space sector on Monday, adding another 14% gain on top of Friday’s 30% surge following a blowout first quarter earnings report. The back-to-back move pushed shares to a new all-time high and left the stock up 70% on the year — a return that reflects both the strength of the company’s underlying business and a wave of investor enthusiasm for the commercial space sector being driven by the looming SpaceX IPO.

The earnings report that ignited Friday’s move was genuinely strong across every metric that matters for a company at Rocket Lab’s stage. First quarter revenue came in at $200.3 million, a 63.5% year-over-year increase, on a loss per share of $0.07 — a penny better than analyst expectations. Second quarter guidance was set at $232.5 million at the midpoint, approximately 12% above what the Street had modeled. For a company still burning cash as it scales toward profitability, the combination of accelerating revenue growth and a beat-and-raise quarter is exactly what investors needed to see.

The backlog figures are where the story gets particularly compelling. Total backlog reached $2.2 billion — up 20% in a single quarter and up 108% year-over-year. CEO Peter Beck disclosed that Rocket Lab booked 31 Electron and HASTE rocket missions during Q1, the most ever signed in a single quarter, bringing total launches in backlog across those programs to more than 70. The company also signed five new dedicated launches for Neutron, its larger next-generation rocket currently in development. A backlog growing at three-digit rates year-over-year is not a company running out of demand — it is a company struggling to build supply fast enough to meet it.

The business wins extend well beyond launch contracts. Rocket Lab was selected alongside defense contractor RTX to support the Department of Defense’s Space Based Interceptor program — providing both launch and satellite technology as part of President Trump’s Golden Dome missile defense initiative. That contract positions Rocket Lab squarely in the defense-space convergence that has been one of the most significant and durable spending tailwinds in the sector. The company also announced plans to acquire Motiv Space Systems, a robotics firm whose technology has been deployed on NASA Mars rover missions — a move that adds in-space robotics capabilities to Rocket Lab’s already expanding portfolio.

All of this is unfolding against a backdrop of accelerating investor interest in the commercial space sector broadly, catalyzed by the anticipated SpaceX IPO — expected as early as June 2026. SpaceX is not yet publicly traded, which means Rocket Lab has functioned as the go-to pure-play proxy for investors who want direct exposure to the commercial launch market. As SpaceX’s IPO timeline comes into focus, capital has been flooding into RKLB and adjacent names in anticipation.

The key question from here is whether the fundamentals can keep pace with the valuation expansion. At 70% year-to-date with all-time highs on the board, Rocket Lab is no longer a deeply discounted bet on an unproven business. It is a high-momentum, high-expectation growth story that will need continued execution — on Neutron development, defense contract delivery, and the Motiv integration — to justify where the market has taken it.

For small and microcap investors who have been in RKLB since its earlier, less recognized days: this is what the patient capital trade looks like when it works.

In the first full quarter since launch, 2,145 healthcare providers prescribed TONMYA®, 3,588 patients initiated treatment, and ~5,400 prescriptions were filled

Agreement signed in May with leading group purchasing organization (GPO) that provides access to TONMYA for approximately 35 million U.S. commercial lives

Expect to initiate adaptive Phase 2 field study for the prevention of Lyme disease in the U.S. in the first half of 2027 for TNX-4800, pending FDA agreement

Approximately $185.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully integrated, commercial biotechnology company, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided an overview of recent operational highlights.

“TONMYA is the first new fibromyalgia medicine in 15 years,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “TONMYA is a non-opioid analgesic designed for bedtime administration and long-term use by adults. Since launch in November 2025, TONMYA has shown growth in prescriptions, new writers, refills, and patient access. Our first managed care partnership was announced in May, providing access to approximately 35 million U.S. commercial lives. We will continue engagement with commercial and government payers to expand patient access. Our focus remains on operational excellence across sales, marketing, medical affairs, and market access to educate and deliver on TONMYA’s differentiated potential.”

Dr. Lederman continued, “We also continue to meaningfully advance our mid-stage clinical programs and our earlier-stage pipeline. For TNX-4800, our investigational long-acting borreliacidal, human monoclonal antibody targeting OspA on Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes the majority of Lyme disease in the U.S., we announced positive Phase 1 data and plans for an adaptive Phase 2 field study in 2027, pending FDA agreement. We look forward to our scheduled Type C meeting with the FDA early in the third quarter of 2026 to discuss the study. We believe TNX-4800 offers several advantages over vaccines in development, including onset of protection within two days and a simpler two-dose regimen with a second booster dose two months after the first. We also expect to begin our Phase 2 study of TONMYA for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) mid-year. Our other programs across CNS, infectious disease, immunology, and rare disease remain well positioned for near-term milestones.”

Commercial Updates

TONMYA (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets): a centrally acting, non-opioid analgesic for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults

  • On November 17, 2025, TONMYA became commercially available, following U.S. FDA approval in August 2025 for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults. TONMYA is the first new prescription medicine approved for fibromyalgia in more than 15 years. The approval was based on two double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical studies of nearly 1,000 patients that demonstrated durable and statistically significant reduction in daily pain scores compared to placebo. There are now approximately 100 TONMYA sales reps in the field.
  • In the first quarter of 2026, the first full quarter since launch, key metrics include:
    • 2,145 unique healthcare providers prescribed TONMYA to patients.
    • 3,588 unique patients initiated treatment with TONMYA.
    • Approximately 5,400 prescriptions were filled. This includes bridge prescriptions that are facilitated through the Company’s specialty pharmacy channel. Bridge prescriptions represent initial patient fills provided while coverage determinations are pending and do not immediately generate net product revenue.
  • For the period beginning November 17, 2025, through April 24, 2026, cumulative key metrics include:
    • More than 2,700 unique healthcare providers have prescribed TONMYA to patients.
    • Approximately 5,618 unique patients have initiated treatment with TONMYA.
  • For the period beginning November 17, 2025, through May 1, 2026, cumulative key metrics include:
    • Approximately 11,016 prescriptions were filled. This includes bridge prescriptions that are facilitated through the Company’s specialty pharmacy channel.
  • Repeat prescriber and patient refill trends are encouraging.
  • The Company is prioritizing engagement with commercial payers, Medicare, and Medicaid to increase access:
    • In May 2026, Tonix secured commercial payer coverage with its first managed care partnership agreement with a leading GPO, which will provide access for approximately 35 million U.S. patients (20% of ~177 million commercial lives in the U.S.)
    • To date, TONMYA is covered under Medicaid in 38 states, for approximately 55 million lives, representing 73% of the roughly 75 million Medicaid lives.
  • Tonix has a robust patient access program and support services in place, including a TONMYA savings card, copay assistance, and prior authorization support, intended to reduce access barriers during early commercialization.
  • To educate healthcare providers (HCPs), the Company held a multidisciplinary dialogue about TONMYA via a national webcast. Tonix also launched a national speaker training program with approximately 100 HCPs to maximize peer-to-peer speaker programs expected to occur across target specialties and regions this year.
  • As part of a commitment to continued clinical evidence generation and education, Tonix presented clinical data on TONMYA at the 8th International Congress on Controversies in Fibromyalgia, 2026 American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM) PainConnect Annual Meeting, and 2026 Non-Opioid Pain Therapeutics Summit. The Company also published two articles in the peer-reviewed journal, Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development.

Significant New Business Wins and Contract Renewals
Realized Merger Synergies of $2.6 Million (1)

OLD GREENWICH, Conn., May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Star Equity Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: STRR and STRRP) (“Star” or the “Company”), a diversified holding company, announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

2026 First Quarter Summary

  • Revenue of $50.1 million increased 57.1% from the first quarter of 2025.
  • Gross profit $20.6 million increased 25.4% from the first quarter of 2025.
  • Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $4.4 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1.8 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net loss per diluted share (non-GAAP measure)* was $0.99 compared to adjusted net loss per diluted share of $0.38 in the first quarter of 2025. Pro forma adjusted net loss per diluted share was $0.22 in the first quarter of 2025.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss (non-GAAP measure)* increased to $1.6 million versus adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2025; pro forma adjusted EBITDA loss was $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2025.
  • Total cash including restricted cash was $10.3 million at March 31, 2026.

Jeff Eberwein, CEO of Star, noted, “The first quarter is almost always our weakest quarter of the year and in this year’s first quarter, startup delays for new projects and broader macroeconomic conditions caused our Building Solutions and Business Services divisions to perform worse than expected. Our Energy Services division, however, maintained solid momentum. We believe our focus on operational and cost improvements and continued investments in growth and innovation are strengthening our competitive position and will drive significantly improved results as the year progresses.”

Jake Zabkowicz, Global CEO of Hudson Talent Solutions (“HTS”), added, “Gross profit increased 6.4% at HTS year-over-year, reflecting steady improvement despite continued macroeconomic uncertainty and sustained pressure in the talent market. We have maintained a strong focus on innovation and operational efficiency, including the expanded deployment of agentic AI solutions to enhance recruiter productivity, improve candidate matching, and deliver greater value to clients. These efforts are helping our ability to navigate the current environment while positioning us to capitalize on improving market conditions in the future. As an example, new business activity and contract renewals with legacy clients accelerated meaningfully in the first quarter of 2026, exceeding levels seen in any quarter of 2025.”

1 $2.6 million of synergies on an annualized basis. Please reference slide 4 of Star’s Q1 earnings call presentation.

Rick Coleman, COO of Star, added, “Residential and commercial construction markets remained soft in the first quarter causing our Building Solutions division to perform below internal expectations, primarily due to delays in several pending contract awards and severe winter weather in both of our key geographies. However, underlying demand remains intact, as evidenced by recently secured new business, including the $4.2 million multifamily housing project in New Hampshire for our KBS business we announced on April 30, 2026. In contrast, our Energy Services division delivered a strong quarter, continuing to gain share across core markets, with particularly strong performance in mining and geothermal end markets.”

Mr. Eberwein concluded, “We remain focused on disciplined execution, rigorous cost management, and prudent capital allocation, including the active evaluation of M&A opportunities across all three of our operating divisions, as we continue to advance our strategic priorities. We believe we are well positioned to navigate near-term market volatility while driving increased profitability and long-term shareholder value.”

* The Company provides non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA, adjusted net income or loss, and adjusted net income or loss per diluted share are defined in the division / segment tables at the end of this release and a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included within such division / segment tables.

Release – Summit Midstream Corporation Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results

Research News and Market Data on SMC

PDF Version

HOUSTON, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Summit Midstream Corporation (NYSE: SMC) (“Summit”, “SMC” or the  “Company”) announced today its financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Highlights

  • First quarter 2026 net loss of $3.2 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $54.2 million, cash flow available for distributions (“Distributable Cash Flow” or “DCF”) of $26.9 million and free cash flow (“FCF”) of $11.4 million
  • Connected 37 wells during the first quarter, including four Williston wells from the new 10-year crude gathering agreement; five rigs currently running with approximately 80 DUCs behind the systems
  • Executed a new precedent agreement for 100 MMcf/d of firm capacity on the Double E Pipeline, with Q1 2027 expected in-service date and 10-year term
  • Repaid all $45 million of accrued Series A Preferred Stock dividends clearing a key milestone toward reinstating a common dividend
  • Completed a $42 million private placement of common stock to an affiliate of Tailwater Capital LLC, Summit’s largest shareholder, providing additional financial flexibility to execute on high-return growth projects and reduce ABL borrowings
  • Reiterating 2026 full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $225 million to $265 million, supported by accelerating producer activity in the Rockies and anticipated Mid-Con volume ramp

Management Commentary

Heath Deneke, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, commented, “First quarter results reflected favorable crude oil prices primarily impacting our Rockies segment, offset by lower realized residue gas prices and lower than expected volumes in the Mid-Con Segment. We continue to expect the business to trend toward the midpoint of our original guidance range and are seeing a lot of momentum across our portfolio, particularly in the Permian and Rockies segments.

“Subsequent to quarter end, Double E executed another new 10-year take-or-pay precedent agreement for 100 MMcf/d of firm capacity behind an operational processing plant in Eddy County, New Mexico, with the lateral connecting the plant expected to be in-service in the first quarter of 20271. This agreement, along with those previously announced, brings total contracted volume on Double E to 1.755 Bcf/d, and we remain encouraged by the continued commercial progress on the pipeline. We are evaluating significant shipper interest in the recently launched open season, and remain optimistic there will be sufficient commercial support to make a final investment decision on the approximately 800 MMcf/d mid-point compression expansion project.

“In the Rockies Segment, the favorable crude oil price environment is expected to improve our product margin over the coming quarters and several customers are actively working to accelerate and increase activity beyond our original expectations. We are also encouraged by the preliminary results of four wells behind the new Williston Basin commercial contract we secured last quarter. We have 40 new wells expected across the portfolio in the second quarter, including 20 in the Mid-Con segment.”

__________________________
1 The agreement is contingent upon satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including Double E board approval.

First Quarter 2026 Business Highlights

SMC’s average daily natural gas throughput on its wholly owned, operated systems decreased 2.7% to 870 MMcf/d, while liquids volumes decreased 3.0% to 64 Mbbl/d, relative to the fourth quarter of 2025. Double E Pipeline averaged 805 MMcf/d and contributed $8.7 million in Adjusted EBITDA, net to SMC, for the first quarter of 2026.

Natural gas price-driven segments:

  • Natural gas price-driven segments generated $28.9 million in combined Segment Adjusted EBITDA, a $2.6 million decrease relative to the fourth quarter of 2025, with combined capital expenditures of $7.6 million
  • Mid-Con Segment Adjusted EBITDA totaled $19.3 million, a decrease of $2.1 million relative to the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower natural gas throughput as a result of natural production declines, partially offset by six new Arkoma well connections. Subsequent to quarter end, three additional Arkoma wells were connected to the system and there are currently 17 Barnett DUCs expected to come online in the second quarter of 2026.
  • Piceance Segment Adjusted EBITDA totaled $9.6 million, a decrease of $0.4 million relative to the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to a 7.3% decline in volume throughput driven by temporary shut-ins of approximately 8.0 MMcf/d, natural production declines, and no new well connections during the quarter. Customers currently have ~20 MMcf/d of natural gas shut-in as a result of low regional gas prices. Based on current forecasted prices in the region, we expect this production to resume beginning in the third quarter of 2026.

Oil price-driven segments:

  • Oil price-driven segments generated $35.1 million in combined Segment Adjusted EBITDA, a $1.5 million decrease relative to the fourth quarter of 2025, with combined capital expenditures of $11.0 million
  • Rockies Segment Adjusted EBITDA totaled $26.4 million, a decrease of $1.5 million relative to the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by a $1.2 million non-cash imbalance, lower realized residue gas prices negatively impacting percent-of-proceeds contracts and lower fresh water sales, partially offset by a 4.4% increase in natural gas volume throughput and higher realized crude oil and NGL prices beginning in March 2026. 18 wells were connected in the DJ Basin and 13 in the Williston Basin, including the first four 3-mile lateral wells under the new 10-year crude gathering agreement. Five rigs are currently running with approximately 60 DUCs behind the system.
  • Permian Segment Adjusted EBITDA totaled $8.7 million, flat relative to the fourth quarter of 2025.

The following table presents average daily throughput by reportable segment for the periods indicated:

The following table presents adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment for the periods indicated:

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures totaled $19.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, inclusive of maintenance capital expenditures of $3.7 million. Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2026 were primarily related to pad connections in the Rockies and Mid-Con segments.

Capital & Liquidity

As of March 31, 2026, SMC had $43.4 million in unrestricted cash on hand and $116 million drawn under its $500 million ABL Revolver with $381 million of borrowing availability, after accounting for $2.7 million of issued, but undrawn letters of credit. As of March 31, 2026, SMC’s gross availability based on the borrowing base calculation in the credit agreement was $802 million, which is $302 million greater than the $500 million of lender commitments to the ABL Revolver. As of March 31, 2026, SMC was in compliance with all financial covenants, including interest coverage of 2.7x relative to a minimum interest coverage covenant of 2.0x and first lien leverage ratio of 0.4x relative to a maximum first lien leverage ratio of 2.5x. As of March 31, 2026, SMC reported a total leverage ratio of approximately 4.2x.

During the first quarter, Summit Permian Transmission, LLC entered into a new $440 million senior secured term facility, which includes a $50 million committed accordion feature and a $50 million uncommitted accordion feature (the “Term Facility”) maturing in March 2031. Proceeds from the Term Facility were used to refinance Summit Permian Transmission’s existing credit facility, redeem Summit Permian Transmission Holdco’s preferred units, fund an $85 million restricted payment to SMC, provide liquidity to fund SMC’s share of capital expenditures including those associated with the recently announced expansion projects, and pay other fees and expenses.

As of March 31, 2026, the Summit Permian Transmission Term Loan Facility had a balance of $340 million. Summit Midstream Permian has $6.1 million of cash-on-hand as of March 31, 2026. The Permian Transmission Term Loan remains non-recourse to SMC.

MVC Shortfall Payments

SMC billed its customers $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 related to MVC shortfalls. For those customers that do not have MVC shortfall credit banking mechanisms in their gathering agreements, the MVC shortfall payments are accounted for as gathering revenue in the period in which they are earned. In the first quarter of 2026, SMC recognized $4.1 million of gathering revenue associated with MVC shortfall payments. SMC had no adjustments to MVC shortfall payments in the first quarter of 2026. SMC’s MVC shortfall payment mechanisms contributed $4.1 million of total Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2026.

Quarterly Dividend 

The Board of Directors of Summit Midstream Corporation continued to suspend cash dividends payable on the common stock for the period ended March 31, 2026. The quarterly cash dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock, for the period ended June 14, 2026, will be paid to preferred shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 1, 2026.

On March 27, 2026, all unpaid dividends of $46.3 million on the Series A Preferred Stock were paid to holders of record as of the close of business on March 17, 2026.

The presentation materials associated with each event will be accessible through the Investors section of SMC’s website at www.summitmidstream.com prior to the beginning of the conference.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We also present adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, and Free Cash Flow, non-GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, our proportional adjusted EBITDA for equity method investees, adjustments related to MVC shortfall payments, adjustments related to capital reimbursement activity, share-based and noncash compensation, impairments, items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations and other noncash expenses or losses, income tax benefit, income (loss) from equity method investees and other noncash income or gains. Because adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other entities in our industry, our definition of this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other entities, thereby diminishing its utility.

Management uses adjusted EBITDA in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our financial performance. Furthermore, management believes that adjusted EBITDA may provide external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods as they are expected to be reflective of our core ongoing business.

Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure to assess:

  • the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to make future potential cash dividends and support our indebtedness;
  • the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
  • our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other entities in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing or capital structure;
  • the attractiveness of capital projects and acquisitions and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities; and
  • the financial performance of our assets without regard to (i) income or loss from equity method investees, (ii) the impact of the timing of MVC shortfall payments under our gathering agreements or (iii) the timing of impairments or other income or expense items that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example:

  • certain items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing an entity’s financial performance, such as an entity’s cost of capital and tax structure;
  • adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
  • although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

We compensate for the limitations of adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP financial measures, understanding the differences between the financial measures and incorporating these data points into our decision-making process.

Distributable Cash Flow

We define Distributable Cash Flow as adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, less cash interest paid, cash paid for taxes, net interest expense accrued and paid on the senior notes, and maintenance capital expenditures.

Free Cash Flow

We define free cash flow as distributable cash flow attributable to common and preferred shareholders less growth capital expenditures, less investments in equity method investees, less dividends to common and preferred shareholders. Free cash flow excludes proceeds from asset sales and cash consideration paid for acquisitions.

We do not provide the GAAP financial measures of net income or loss or net cash provided by operating activities on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, certain components thereof including, but not limited to, (i) income or loss from equity method investees and (ii) asset impairments. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. As such, any associated estimate and its impact on our GAAP performance and cash flow measures could vary materially based on a variety of acceptable management assumptions.

The Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, are filed with the SEC and are available on the Company’s investor relations website. https://ir.skyplug.com/sec-filings/

Management Commentary

Company’s Management, Board members, and Senior Advisors include former CEO’s and executives from Fortune 100 companies including Nielsen, Microsoft, Disney, GE, Home Depot, Office Depot, Chrysler, among others.

The Company is trending positively, generating record first quarter 2026 revenues of $22 million as compared to $20 million for the first quarter of 2025, a gross profit for the first quarter ending March 31, 2026, increasing comparatively by 16% to $7 million, compared to the first quarter ending March 31, 2025 and a gross margin for the first quarter ending March 31, 2026, increasing comparatively by 2% to 30%, compared to 28% in the first quarter ending March 31, 2025. We believe our positive trends will accelerate going into 2026 as we build out and execute on our channel strategy.

We are encouraged by the recently announced initiatives where we could supply hundreds of thousands of units in Europe, the Middle East including Saudi Arabia and Egypt, the $4 billion mixed-use smart city development in the Little River District in the heart of Miami, and projects in Pittsford, New York; North Carolina; Austin, Texas; and San Antonio, Texas. We continue to address the builder/commercial segments, large online and brick-and-mortar retail partners as well as our future potential to realize incremental licensing, subscription, and AI/data aggregation revenues.

Furthermore, our e-commerce website platform with 60 websites enhances the acceleration of marketing and distribution channels, collaborations, licensing, and sales to both professional and retail segments. Our websites include banners, videos, and educational materials regarding the simplicity, cost savings, time-saving, and life-saving aspects of the Company’s patented technologies.

We have accelerated our pace of sales and strategic initiatives with a robust gross margin profile, notably reducing the adjusted EBITDA loss of SKYX on a comparative quarterly basis. Our e-commerce platform with 60 websites is expected to continue to provide additional cash flow to the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this press release are not based on historical facts, but are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “could,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “evaluate,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “probable,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target” “view,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These statements reflect the Company’s reasonable judgment with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which have outcomes difficult to predict and may be outside our control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include statements relating to the Company’s ability to successfully launch, commercialize, develop additional features and achieve market acceptance of its products and technologies and integrate its products and technologies with First-party platforms or technologies; the Company’s efforts and ability to drive the adoption of its products and technologies as a standard feature, including their use in homes, hotels, offices and cruise ships; the Company’s ability to capture market share; the Company’s estimates of its potential addressable market and demand for its products and technologies; the Company’s ability to raise additional capital to support its operations as needed, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; the Company’s ability to execute on any sales and licensing or other strategic opportunities; the possibility that any of the Company’s products will become National Electrical Code (NEC)-code or otherwise code mandatory in any jurisdiction, or that any of the Company’s current or future products or technologies will be adopted by any state, country, or municipality, within any specific timeframe or at all; risks arising from mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and other collaborations; the Company’s ability to attract and retain key executives and qualified personnel; guidance provided by management, which may differ from the Company’s actual operating results; the potential impact of unstable market and economic conditions, including recent measures adopted by the federal government, on the Company’s business, financial condition, and stock price; and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management considers earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted, an important indicator in evaluating the Company’s business on a consistent basis across various periods. Due to the significance of non-recurring items, EBITDA, as adjusted, enables management to monitor and evaluate the business on a consistent basis. The Company uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as a primary measure, among others, to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and potential acquisitions. The Company believes that EBITDA, as adjusted, eliminates items that are not part of the Company’s core operations, such as interest expense and amortization expense associated with intangible assets, or items that do not involve a cash outlay, such as share-based payments and non-recurring items, such as transaction costs. EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income (loss), net income (loss) and cash flows used in operating activities. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. Investors should review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

    Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

    This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws that are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties. We use words such as “could,” “would,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “likely,” “believe,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project” and other similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements, but not all forward-looking statements include these words. All of our forward-looking statements involve estimates and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the information described under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”) and subsequent periodic and or current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

    The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this press release, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions.

    Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual operating and financial performance and cause our performance to differ materially from the performance expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the ability to realize the benefit of our strategic shift to focusing on driving digital marketing spend among historical buyers of managed advertising campaigns and new enterprise customers; the restrictions and covenants imposed upon us by our credit facilities; the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing; our ability to secure additional financing to meet our capital needs; our ability to maintain compliance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market; any significant fluctuations caused by our high customer concentration; risks related to non-payment by our clients; reputational and other harms caused by our failure to detect advertising fraud; operational and performance issues with our platform, whether real or perceived, including a failure to respond to technological changes or to upgrade our technology systems; restrictions on the use of third-party “cookies,” mobile device IDs or other tracking technologies, which could diminish our platform’s effectiveness; unfavorable publicity and negative public perception about our industry, particularly concerns regarding data privacy and security relating to our industry’s technology and practices, and any perceived failure to comply with laws and industry self-regulation; our failure to manage our growth effectively; the difficulty in identifying and integrating any future acquisitions or strategic investments; any changes or developments in legislative, judicial, regulatory or cultural environments related to information collection, use and processing; challenges related to our clients that are destination marketing organizations and that operate as public/private partnerships; any strain on our resources or diversion of our management’s attention as a result of being a public company; the intense competition of the digital advertising industry and our ability to effectively compete against current and future competitors; any significant inadvertent disclosure or breach of confidential and/or personal information we hold, or of the security of our or our customers’, suppliers’ or other partners’ computer systems; as a holding company, we depend on distributions from Direct Digital Holdings, LLC (“DDH LLC”) to pay our taxes, expenses (including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement) and any amount of any dividends we may pay to the holders of our common stock; any failure by us to maintain or implement effective internal controls or to detect fraud; and other factors and assumptions discussed in our Form 10-K and subsequent periodic and current reports we may file with the SEC.

    Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of these assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual operating and financial performance may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement contained in this press release to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances, and we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. New factors that could cause our business not to develop as we expect emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each currently known or new factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

    Q1 results. Q1 revenue of $22.9 million and an adj. EBITDA loss of $1.6 million came in below our estimates of $24 million and $0.8 million loss, respectively, driven by softness in traditional broadcast revenue, partially offset by 25% YoY growth in digital Interactive revenue.

    Digital transformation remains the key driver. Digital revenue increased 25.2% year over year to $4.4 million, driven by significant growth in search, targeted display, social media, and blended advertising campaigns. Management indicated that blended radio and digital campaigns continue to drive larger client relationships and stronger advertiser retention. A $1.5 million digital infrastructure buildout is compressing margins and adj. EBITDA.

The performance is a direct result of the transformation plan implemented by management in 2023. There are two sides to the coin here: a successful strategic growth program that is being internally funded and an aggressive and ongoing operational improvement program that is generating rising margins.

    More To Come. Sales growth is broad. NN’s sales are up with 22 of its top 30 customers. Overall, NN has some 700 customers, and beneath the top 30 customers, business is up with that group as well. And the sales are transforming the Company from its historic automotive orientation to higher growth, higher margin specialties, such as electric grid and data centers, defense electronics, and medical. Collectively, these three markets were up 28% year-over-year in the first quarter. On a consolidated basis, the growth markets accounted for 35% of revenue in 2023 and now constitute 56% of revenue, while automotive has shrunk to 44%.
