Software Revenue Grows 17% Year-over-Year, Net Loss Narrows 12%, and Quarterly Cash Usage Improves
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Latch, Inc., which operates as DOOR, the Building Intelligence company (“DOOR” or the “Company”), today reported financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company’s shares currently trade on the OTC Markets under the symbol, “LTCH,” and the Company’s corporate name and ticker updates are expected at a later date.
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights (Three Months Ended June 30, 2026)
Software revenue increased by 16.8% year-over-year to $6.1 million, driven by continued subscription growth on the DOOR platform.Total revenue was $15.6 million, essentially flat sequentially with the first quarter of 2026 but down 18.1% year-over-year, primarily reflecting a lower volume of hardware shipments and professional services installation activity against an elevated prior-year second quarter.Operating expenses decreased by 5.7% year-over-year to $14.9 million, reflecting disciplined expense management.Net loss narrowed by 12.1% year-over-year to $(6.9) million.Adjusted EBITDA loss (non-GAAP) narrowed by 37.5% year-over-year to $(3.6) million.
“We are running a fundamentally different company than we were a year ago, and this quarter reflects meaningful progress in that transformation,” said David Lillis, Chief Executive Officer of DOOR. “Software revenue grew 17% year over year, we narrowed our net loss, and reduced cash usage by more than 60% compared with the first quarter of 2026. Earlier this week, we announced actions expected to reduce annualized operating costs by $10 million to $12 million, which should accelerate our path to profitability and cash flow breakeven.”
“AI is central to how we expect to achieve these improvements,” Lillis continued. “By embedding AI across software development, customer support, and our internal operations, we have built a leaner, more efficient organization that is expected to continue delivering innovative products for our customers. The launch of DOOR Scout marks the first of several AI-enabled products planned for our Building Intelligence platform, and we expect several additional releases in the months ahead. We also reached a settlement in principle with the SEC Staff, representing an important milestone toward resolving legacy matters. This allows us to focus on executing our Building Intelligence strategy, continue innovating, expanding customer adoption, and creating long-term value for our stockholders.”
Business Highlights
SEC Investigation Settlement – The Company reached a settlement in principle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Staff related to the previously disclosed investigation. Subject to Commission approval, the proposed settlement includes a $1.0 million civil monetary penalty payable in quarterly installments, representing a significant milestone toward resolving this legacy matter.
Restructuring Plan – Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced a restructuring plan designed to accelerate profitability and strengthen its focus on Building Intelligence. The plan is expected to reduce annualized operating costs by approximately $10 million to $12 million through a workforce reduction and the planned exit of the DOOR Property Management business, enabling the Company to concentrate resources on its core Building Intelligence platform, AI-enabled software capabilities, and continued product innovation.
AI Innovation – Continued integration of AI across software development, customer support, and internal operations to improve productivity, accelerate innovation, and support a more efficient and scalable operating model. The Company also continued expanding AI-enabled capabilities within its Building Intelligence platform, representing an important step in executing its strategy to deliver intelligent, connected solutions that modernize multifamily operations.
Building Intelligence – DOOR’s strategy is to transform building operations through AI, automation, and an open platform that reduces the day-to-day burden on onsite teams, enabling management by exception and positioning DOOR as the operational layer for connected multifamily buildings.
DOOR Scout – Launched a connected edge AI device that combines remote lock management with environmental sensing in one device, replacing a stack of multiple single-purpose hardware devices while enabling proactive building intelligence.
OpenDOOR – Introduced a developer platform that provides partners, property technology vendors, and customers with access to DOOR’s access management, IoT, and building data, expanding the building technology ecosystem and enabling future AI-driven automation.

Second Quarter 2026 Results Summary
DOOR’s second quarter of 2026 delivered total revenue of $15.6 million, essentially flat with the first quarter of 2026 but down 18.1% from $19.1 million in the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decline was driven primarily by a lower volume of hardware shipments and professional services installation activity, reflecting the elevated level of hardware shipments and related installation activity in the second quarter of 2025 that did not recur in subsequent periods. Software revenue increased 16.8% to $6.1 million, reflecting continued subscription growth from expanding adoption of the Company’s platform solutions, and representing a larger share of total revenue than in the prior-year period. Hardware revenue was $3.4 million and professional services revenue was $6.0 million. The continued shift in revenue mix toward recurring software supported the Company’s margin objectives.
The Company continued to improve operating efficiency during the quarter. Gross profit was $7.7 million and gross margin expanded to 49.0% from 43.0% in the second quarter of 2025, driven by a more favorable revenue mix and improved professional services margins, even as results absorbed a $0.9 million inventory impairment related to slow moving products recorded in hardware cost of revenue. The inventory impairment reduced hardware gross margin by approximately 25% to approximately 3%. Excluding the impairment charge, hardware gross margin would have been approximately 28%, compared to 30% in the second quarter of 2025, and total gross margin would have been approximately 54.8%. Operating expenses declined 5.7% to $14.9 million as DOOR continued to streamline its cost structure. As a result, net loss narrowed 12.1% year-over-year to $(6.9) million, while Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed 37.5% to $(3.6) million.
Second Quarter 2026 Cash and Liquidity Update
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $26.1 million of cash, restricted cash, and available-for-sale securities, consisting of $19.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, $5.2 million of restricted cash, and $1.8 million of available-for-sale securities. Net cash used by the Company improved to $2.4 million during the second quarter of 2026, compared with $6.1 million during the first quarter of 2026, reflecting continued progress in reducing cash expenditures and improving the efficiency of the Company’s operating model.
Additional Information Available on Our Website
The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2026, which will be posted on the “Financials and SEC Filings” section of the Company’s investor relations website at DOOR.com, when it is filed with the SEC. Information contained on, or accessible through, the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference into this press release.
Information Regarding Key Business Metrics
DOOR reviews the key business metrics and other measures presented in this release to measure its performance, identify trends affecting its business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions that may impact the future operating results of the Company. For definitions and discussions of key business metrics, see the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Increases or decreases in the Company’s key business metrics and other measures may not correspond with increases or decreases in its revenue. The limitations these measures have as analytical tools include: (1) they are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future financial results and (2) other companies, including companies in DOOR’s industry, may calculate key business metrics or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have presented in this press release Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net loss, excluding the impact of the following items, if applicable: (i) depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) net interest income or expense, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) change in fair value of warrant liability, trading securities, or derivative instruments, (v) restructuring costs, (vi) transaction-related costs, (vii) impairment of assets, (viii) non-ordinary course legal fees and settlement reserves, (ix) stock-based compensation expense and (x) gain or loss on extinguishment of debt. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss. We believe excluding the impact of these items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance. We monitor, and have presented in this press release, Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets, and to develop operational goals for managing our business. We believe Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we include in net loss. Accordingly, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors, analysts, and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net loss, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from Adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results.
In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a tool for comparison. The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (in thousands):

As a result of significant discounts provided to our customers on certain long-term software contracts paid in advance, we determined that there is a significant financing component related to the time value of money and have therefore broken out the interest component and recorded it as a discount in interest expense, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Interest (income) expense, net includes interest expense associated with the significant financing component of $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

The amounts primarily represent legal fees related to stockholder lawsuits and the SEC’s ongoing investigation into issues related to our key performance indicators and revenue recognition practices (the “SEC Investigation”). While we are involved in various litigation and legal disputes in the ordinary course of our business, we believe the non-ordinary course legal fees and settlement reserves included in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA do not represent normal operating expenses. These costs are included within general and administrative on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Jonathan Aberman Releases New Book, “The Originality Dividend, a Data-Driven Framework for Measuring Human Value in the Age of AI”
Published
7 minutes agoon
August 10, 2026By
Aberman argues that the future belongs to organizations that can identify, measure and develop Original Intelligence, not simply deploy AI
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Entrepreneur, AI investor and Hupside CEO Jonathan Aberman today released his new book, The Originality Dividend: Why Human Original Intelligence Is the Most Valuable Asset in an Age of AI. In it, Aberman introduces a groundbreaking, science-backed framework for measuring and developing Original Intelligence, the uniquely human ability to generate ideas, exercise judgment and produce outcomes that go beyond what AI can create on its own.
Aberman argues the important question is no longer “Did a human create this?” but “What did the human contribute beyond what AI could have produced?” That reframing pushes back on the narrative that has dominated the AI conversation for two years, that AI will inevitably replace people, and offers organizations a practical roadmap for succeeding with AI instead.
“The good news is that humans do create economically measurable value, and it’s time to position humans squarely into the argument of AI’s economic benefits. We’ve spent enough time debating AI. It’s time to give leaders a science-backed framework to show the importance of human originality throughout the value chain,” said Aberman. “In a post-AI world, anything that creates economic value must be measurable, improvable and manageable like any other strategic asset. That’s what this work makes possible. History has always rewarded the people who create the next competitive advantage, not the ones who simply adopt the latest tool. AI will be no different. Original Intelligence is where that advantage begins.”
Built on research in creativity, cognitive science and artificial intelligence, The Originality Dividend: Why Human Original Intelligence Is the Most Valuable Asset in an Age of AI provides the scientific foundation behind Hupside, the company Aberman leads as CEO. Hupside launched Hupchecker earlier this year, a platform that measures Original Intelligence in individuals and teams. This fall, the company will introduce Hupmapper to extend that measurement to written work. Together, the book, the research and the technology give organizations a way to identify what is actually original while seeing past what Hupside calls value signal collapse, where traditional indicators like polish and credentials no longer reliably distinguish original thinking.
Few authors are better positioned to lead this conversation. Over the past three decades, Aberman has built and invested in technology companies, advised federal agencies including DARPA, the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Air Force on innovation strategy, and served as the founding dean of Marymount University’s School of Business, Innovation, Leadership and Technology. Today, he leads Hupside’s mission to build the world’s first infrastructure for measuring Original Intelligence.
The Originality Dividend: Why Human Original Intelligence Is the Most Valuable Asset in an Age of AI is available today on Amazon.
What Readers Are Saying About The Originality Dividend
“AI’s potential to benefit our society is large, but so are its challenges. To date, AI’s social effects have been visible, but the role of humans after AI’s widespread adoption has been less clearly stated. The Originality Dividend bridges that gap with a forceful message: there is a high value economic role for humans. This optimistic and practical view is a very welcome addition to the discussion of AI adoption. I recommend this book to all policy makers looking for an alternative approach for balancing AI and human value.” – Congressman Don Beyer, co-Chair of the bipartisan Congressional Artificial Intelligence Caucus
“This is one of the topics that I think about most and see the least amount of thoughtful writing. Are we getting better at using AI, are we getting better outcomes and are we still growing as individuals at the same time? The Originality Dividend shows leaders how to turn AI from a replacement engine into an amplifier of human originality. Think first, then AI, get better at both.

Industry recognition highlights Ascent’s flexible repayment options, no-fee student loans, borrower benefits, and commitment to helping students successfully finance their education.
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ascent Funding, LLC (“Ascent”), a student financing company focused on helping students and families confidently plan, pay, and succeed throughout higher education, announced it has been named NerdWallet’s 2026 Best Student Loan Overall. The honor also comes alongside additional recognition from Yahoo Finance, Forbes, and U.S. News, reinforcing Ascent’s position as a standout student loan provider for today’s learners.
NerdWallet’s Best Student Loan Overall award recognizes lenders that stand out across the factors students and families weigh most when comparing private student loans, including accessibility, repayment flexibility, fees, borrower support, and overall value. Ascent was recognized for bringing those priorities together through private student loan options for borrowers with or without a co-signer, flexible repayment plans, no fees on student loans, career support, and graduation rewards.
This award complements a strong year of 2026 recognition for Ascent, including:
Forbes: Best for Flexible Payment Terms
Forbes awarded Ascent a perfect 5-star rating for flexible payment terms, recognizing the company’s broad range of repayment options, commitment to serving diverse student populations, and innovative outcomes-based loan program designed to expand access to education financing for students who may not qualify through traditional credit-based underwriting.
Yahoo Finance: Best Overall Private Student Loan
Yahoo Finance named Ascent its Best Overall Private Student Loan, recognizing the company for its undergraduate and graduate student loan options, longer-than-usual grace period after graduation, and Progressive Repayment option, which allows borrowers to begin with smaller payments after graduation that increase over time while remaining within the original loan term.
U.S. News: Highest Listed Private Student Loan Lender Rating
U.S. News rated Ascent 4.8/5 in its Best Private Student Loans comparison, the highest listed rating among private student loan lenders. The rating reflects Ascent’s no-fee structure, accessibility for noncitizens, broad range of eligible schools and programs, and flexible repayment options.
“Paying for college can feel complicated, and students deserve options that make the process feel clearer and more manageable,” said Allie Danziger, Chief Marketing Officer at Ascent. “We’re honored to be recognized by respected financial publications because these awards reflect the work our team does every day to support borrowers with options designed to meet them where they are.”
Recognition That Reflects Real Student Impact
Together, these awards reflect what Ascent is building: a student loan experience with more pathways to financing, support beyond the loan, stronger borrower benefits, and repayment options designed for the realities of modern learners. According to the 2025 Impact Report, in 2025 alone, Ascent helped more than 27,000 learners finance their education across more than 1,300 colleges and universities and 80 career schools, disbursing more than $357 million to support students in traditional degree programs, career training programs, certificates, bootcamps, and workforce pathways. Ascent also broadened access through more than $32 million in Zero Percent Loans and more than $8 million in loans to DACA students, while more than 9,200 learners engaged in professional skills and financial wellness training.
That same focus on access and support shows up in the way Ascent structures its student loan options: competitive rates starting at 2.19% Annual Percentage Rate (APR)¹, no fees on college and graduate student loans, automatic payment discounts, flexible repayment options, and access to AscentUP student success resources². The result is a student financing experience built to meet more learners where they are, helping them pay for school with options that are clearer, more flexible, and better aligned with the path ahead.
