Executive summary
Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, rose 17% year-over-year to $16.1 million, driven by strong growth in the Industrial segment and steady Security segment performance.
Net loss attributable to stockholders was $20.6 million, primarily due to non-cash debt settlement items, representing an improvement from the prior year.
Gross profit margin declined to 35% from 41% year-over-year, mainly due to lower margins in both segments and the impact of tariffs.
Cash and cash equivalents increased significantly to $20.5 million, enhancing financial flexibility.
The company raised $6 million in equity offerings and $5.7 million from Series B warrant exercises during the quarter, strengthening liquidity.
Financial highlights
Security segment revenue increased 1% year-over-year to $5.5 million; Industrial Services revenue rose 28% to $10.6 million, a record for the segment.
Gross profit was $5.6 million, with a gross margin of 35%, down from 41% year-over-year.
General and administrative expenses rose 12% to $7.9 million, including a one-time $0.4 million write-off and higher legal and depreciation costs.
Research and development expenses fell 44% to $0.5 million, reflecting reduced investment in new product development.
Other expense was $17.5 million, mainly from $12.1 million in interest expense, including $11.8 million from share-based debt settlements.
Outlook and guidance
Management highlights substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses and debt obligations.
Plans to address liquidity include further equity raises, debt restructuring, and margin improvements, but success is not guaranteed.
Cost reduction actions in Security and contributions from new acquisitions are expected to improve performance in upcoming quarters.
Focus for fiscal 2026 is on restoring segment margins, expanding operating income, and strengthening cash flow.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
