The decrease was primarily driven by lower sales volume, which was partially offset by the increase in the overall average selling prices of the Company’s cables and wire harness products.

Revenue generated from connectors increased by 5.7%, to $1.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the overall average selling prices of the Company’s connectors, partially offset by a decrease in sales volume.

Revenue generated from Europe decreased by 3.8%, to $10.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $11.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The decline stemmed from modest sales decreases in Denmark and Bulgaria, which were partially offset by slight revenue growth in Hungary and the Netherlands.

Revenue generated from Asia increased by 4.4%, to $5.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $5.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by a sales increase in Mainland China of $0.7 million and a sales increase in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, of $0.1 million, and was partially offset by a sales decrease in Hong Kong, China of $0.5 million.

Revenue generated from the Americas decreased by 11.2%, to $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $1.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a sales decrease in North America of $0.2 million.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased by 3.2%, to $12.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $12.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, which was generally in line with the decrease in total revenue.

Inventory costs amounted to $8.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, compared to $8.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in the Company’s inventory costs was primarily due to an 11.9% decrease in the total sales volume from approximately 31.3 million units in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 to approximately 27.6 million units in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.

Labor costs amounted to $2.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in labor costs was mainly attributable to lower production volumes driven by decreased sales and the Company’s efforts to reduce labor costs.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased by 1.6%, to $5.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $5.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Gross profit margin increased by 1.0%, to 29.3% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from 28.3% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a reduction in fixed costs per unit as a result of the Company’s efforts in reducing labor costs.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by 22.6%, to $8.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $7.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The expense increase was primarily due to the increase in selling expenses of $0.5 million, the increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.01 million, and the increase in research and development expenses of $1.1 million.

Net Loss

Net loss increased by 240.7%, to $4.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, from $1.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share was $1.94 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.22 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Schneider Electric advances energy and industrial intelligence for a more resilient future at Climate Week NYC 2026

AI-enabled building optimization may reduce energy use by up to 22% in modeled scenariosPeer-reviewed research with Boston University finds the constraint on building modernization is not technology but the capacity to deploy itResearch shows cooling architecture and operating temperature can reduce water use by roughly half

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today outlined its presence at Climate Week NYC 2026, bringing new research on AI-enabled building efficiency, building modernization and data center water use, executive programming and forthcoming news on collective approaches to supply-chain decarbonization.  AI is driving increased energy demand, and when combined with data and domain expertise, it can also make energy systems more efficient and resilient. Across the week, Schneider Electric will show how energy and industrial intelligence can help organizations unlock capacity, strengthen resilience, and deliver measurable sustainability gains.

 Energy has become a board-level decision, and for most organizations the constraint is no longer ambition but execution. As an energy technology partner, Schneider Electric pairs energy and industrial intelligence with electrification, automation and advisory expertise to help close the time to power gap.

Beyond capacity and speed, this is also how sustainability delivers: making energy use more efficient, operations more resilient, and businesses more competitive, while creating the skills and jobs that bring more workers and communities into the new energy economy.

“Resilience is not something you buy once. It is what energy and industrial intelligence delivers when decisions get better,” said Pankaj Sharma, Executive Vice President, Software & Services at Schneider Electric. “What we are bringing to Climate Week NYC is the evidence: an AI layer that frees capacity inside a building, a cooling system that reuses the same fluid instead of drawing more. Energy and industrial intelligence applied to the infrastructure we already have, paired with the execution to deploy it.”

AI-enabled building optimization
Schneider Electric’s “AI for Climate: Quantifying the Energy and Carbon Impact of Building Optimization” white paper examines the effect of adding AI to existing building management systems. The analysis estimates energy savings of up to 22% compared with buildings without AI. It attributes 7.2% to 12.7% to the AI layer alone and estimates annual utility savings of $13,600 to $49,300 per building at the commercial rates used in the study.

Overcoming barriers to building modernization
The Schneider Electric Research Institute published “Modernizing the Built Environment,”  drawing on a four-study peer-reviewed program produced with Boston University’s Institute for Global Sustainability and a case study developed with the Bloomberg New Economy Energy Technology Coalition. Drawing on 95 catalogued barriers from 880 academic sources and 60 practitioner interviews, it finds that the constraint on building modernization is not technology but the capacity to deploy it, with retrofit cost premiums tracing to missing workforce, permitting and financing capacity rather than to equipment cost. Read together, the two papers make one argument: the efficiency is available today and closing the gap between what buildings can do and what they actually do is an institutional problem as much as a technical one.

Supporting responsible AI infrastructure growth
As AI drives growing demand for data center capacity, design choices can materially reduce the resource demands of the infrastructure supporting it. Schneider Electric today published “White Paper 220, Water Usage at AI Scale: Insights from a 100 MW Comparative Analysis.” The paper shows that on-site water consumption for cooling is strongly influenced by data center design choices, including heat-rejection technology, liquid-cooling architecture, and operating temperature.

In modeled 100 MW data center designs using adiabatic heat rejection, an optimized liquid-cooled AI architecture reduced annual on-site cooling water use by 48% in Dallas, from approximately 382,000 to 197,000 cubic meters, and by 53% in Paris, from approximately 108,000 to 51,000 cubic meters, compared with an air-cooled AI design. The analysis indicates that high-density AI capacity can be supported while materially reducing on-site water use for cooling.

Schneider Electric will also share further news during Climate Week on collective approaches to supply-chain decarbonization, building on its Energize and Catalyze programs.

New partnership with Lenovo brings decarbonization services to IT channel partners
Schneider Electric has also joined Lenovo 360 Circle, Lenovo’s global sustainability community, as a strategic ally, bringing the Schneider Electric Decarbonization Champion program to a network of more than 860 partners. Eligible partners gain carbon management tools to establish a Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions baseline, training through Schneider Electric Sustainability School, and hands-on support from Schneider Electric Advisory Services specialists, including a remote site audit and a jointly developed decarbonization roadmap. It applies at ecosystem scale the approach Schneider Electric has taken in its own supply chain, where engaging its top 1,000 suppliers contributed to a 56% reduction in suppliers’ operational CO₂ emissions between 2021 and 2025.

By

CTAG brings Brandon Nelson, a 2024 Wall Street Journal Winners Circle PM, to the ETF wrapper for the first timeAcquired by Calamos in 2019, CTAG deploys a 30+ year time tested, disciplined stock selection strategy seeking to identify small- and mid-cap companies with “fundamental momentum” CTAG is the first actively managed mutual fund-to-ETF conversion to list on Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE)

CHICAGO, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — John Koudounis, President and CEO of Calamos, a leader in liquid alternatives, today announced the launch of the Calamos Timpani Active SMID Growth ETF (CTAG) on the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE). The ETF is a conversion of the Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund, a top-performing fund in the Morningstar Small Growth category.¹

“Our proven track record of active management in small- and mid-caps now extends to the ETF market,” said Koudounis. “We are thrilled to give ETF investors access to Brandon, one of the top discretionary active managers in the SMID universe. It is also an honor to be one of the first launches on the TXSE.”

Nelson was recognized as the only small cap manager in the Wall Street Journal’s 2024 Winners Circle, which annually identifies the Top 10 performers among active US stock managers. Since launching in 2019, the Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Mutual Fund has been a top-performer among peers in the Morningstar Small Growth category, healthily outperforming the Russell 2500 Growth Index over the last 1-, 3- and 5-year periods.²

“Our fundamental momentum investment style has proven itself over market cycles,” said Nelson, SVP and Senior Portfolio Manager. “Recent years have showcased the effectiveness of our growth investing process, security selection and strong selling discipline. We see significant and sustained upside for small- and mid-caps from here.”

“Demand for active ETFs is breaking records in 2026.³ Investors are asking for top-tier active management in a wrapper that’s liquid, transparent, and tax-efficient. After a historic run of large-cap outperformance, small-cap active ETFs represent one of the most exciting areas for investors seeking alpha and growth potential,” said Matt Kaufman, Head of ETFs. “This is exactly what we are delivering with this conversion.”

CTAG will be listed on the TXSE and will be the first active mutual fund-to-ETF conversion on the exchange. The conversion will enable Calamos to better differentiate this strategy from the Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund, which is managed by the same investment team under Nelson.

1 The Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund has outperformed both peers and its benchmark index (the Russell 2500 Growth Index) since its 2019 inception and in recent years. The fund more than doubled the performance of the average fund in the Morningstar Small Growth category in 2024 and 2025, as well as over the 5-year periods through August 31, 2026. The Institutional share class (CTIGX) of the fund was a top decile performer over the 3-year period ended August 31, 2026, and was ranked top quartile over the recent 1-year and 5-year periods ended August 31, 2026, according to Morningstar. Institutional share class total return and rankings in the Fund’s Morningstar category as of 8.31.26 are as follows: 26.40% return ranking 21st %ile for the 1-year period (111 / 533), 26.79% return ranking 3rd %ile for the 3-year period (13 / 521), 7.21% return ranking 14th %ile for the 5-year period (54 / 499), and 13.39% return ranking 13th %ile since inception (53 / 502). Returns longer than 1-year are annualized.

2 Percentile rankings in Morningstar’s Small Growth category, per Morningstar data, and comparisons against the Russell 2500 Growth Index are through 8.31.26 (26.40% to 15.32% over 1-yr; 26.79% to 14.13% over 3-years; and 7.21% to 3.51% over 5-years).

³ Active ETFs saw 35% of net inflows and $590.46 billion globally through July 31, 2026, according to ETFGI. “Year-to-date net inflows reached a record US$590.46 billion, exceeding the previous annual record pace of US$322.69 billion during the same period in 2025 and US$188.78 billion in 2024.”

On September 21, 2026, Calamos Timpani Active SMID Growth ETF (the “Fund”) acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Calamos Timpani SMID Growth Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) in a reorganization (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, performance prior to the Fund’s inception date reflects actual performance and expenses of the Class I shares of the Predecessor Fund, without any adjustments. The Fund has the same investment objective and substantially similar strategies as the Predecessor Fund. However, the Fund has a lower net expense ratio than each share class of the Predecessor Fund. As a result, the performance returns of the Fund for the periods shown would have been different than those of the Predecessor Fund. Had the Predecessor Fund been structured as an ETF, its performance may have differed. You can obtain current performance data by visiting www.Calamos.com.

The Fund’s (and Predecessor Fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
