Executive summary

• Q2 2026 revenue increased 2% year-over-year to $5.1 million, nearly doubling sequentially, driven by strong R&D contract growth and commercial adoption across the Vision AI platform, despite a 26% decline in product revenue due to the completion of a major ROC Watch deployment recognized in the prior year.
