Results from Operations

Second Quarter 2026

Revenue was $15.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to continued strong aerospace and defense program shipments and quarter over quarter growth for both avionics and space product shipments.

Gross margin was 41.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with 43.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease reflects the impact of approximately $0.5 million of stock-based compensation recorded in Manufacturing cost of sales in connection with the 2025 bonus awards, a 3.1% impact to gross margin. This charge is not expected to recur at comparable levels in future periods. There was no such stock-based compensation in the three months ended June 30, 2025 for the 2024 bonus award.

Net income was $1.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $1.6 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Current period results include $1.0 million of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense associated with the accelerated vesting of the 2025 bonus award. This charge is not expected to recur at comparable levels in future periods. The decrease in diluted earnings per share is due to the increase in weighted shares outstanding related to the rights offering that was completed in April 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues partially offset by an increase in engineering, selling and administrative expenses.

Fiscal Year to Date 2026

Revenue was $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $26.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to continued strong aerospace and defense program shipments as well as year-over-year growth in avionics product shipments.

Net income was $4.3 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $3.2 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This reflects $1.0 million of non-cash stock compensation associated with the accelerated vesting of the 2025 bonus award. The increase in net income was driven by higher shipments partially offset by an increase in overall operating expenses, which grew at a slower rate than revenues. The decrease in earnings per diluted share was primarily due to the increase in weighted shares outstanding related to the rights offering completed in April 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA was $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues partially offset by an increase in engineering, selling and administrative expenses.

Backlog

Backlog was $84.0 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to $76.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and $61.2 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase in backlog reflects broad demand for our products including continued purchasing under several large aerospace and defense programs, the initiation of orders for new aerospace and defense programs, and a recent uptick in avionics and space industry orders.

Strategic Investment

During the quarter, the Company made a small investment in a synchronization and timing systems company Skyline Instruments, LLC, which is making significant advancements critical for the synchronization of RF sensor data and operations in GPS denied environments. This is part of the Company’s effort to continue to innovate and learn about future market opportunities in areas critical to our national defense.

Collaborative Shared Technologies LLC® and Asha Aziza Peterson Unveil KnowledgeRoots™ Enterprise Intelligence Architecture™ Executive Guide and Companion Workbook, Launching Together November 3, 2026

Published

3 minutes ago

August 13, 2026

New executive publications introduce Knowledge Debt™ and Enterprise Intelligence™ to help organizations build intelligent, future-ready enterprises

UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Collaborative Shared Technologies LLC® today announced the simultaneous November 3, 2026 publication of KnowledgeRoots™ Enterprise Intelligence Architecture™: The Executive Guide to Building Intelligent Organizations and the KnowledgeRoots™ Enterprise Intelligence Architecture™ Executive Companion Workbook, while unveiling the official covers of both publications.

Launching together on November 3, 2026, the Executive Guide and Executive Companion Workbook represent the first major publications within the broader KnowledgeRoots™ Executive Series, a growing body of thought leadership, intellectual property, and executive learning resources focused on helping organizations reduce Knowledge Debt™ and build Enterprise Intelligence™.

Created by Asha Aziza Peterson, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Collaborative Shared Technologies LLC®, the publications address a growing challenge facing organizations across every sector: the inability to consistently transform information into trusted knowledge, organizational learning, informed decision-making, and sustainable performance.

Introducing Knowledge Debt™

At the center of the book is a concept Peterson calls Knowledge Debt™.

Knowledge Debt™ represents the accumulated organizational liability created when critical knowledge is not intentionally captured, governed, preserved, maintained, transferred, and made available for reuse.

Over time, Knowledge Debt™ can manifest through:

Repeated workKnowledge lossWorkforce disruptionInformation silosDelayed decision-makingInstitutional memory lossIncreased operational riskReduced organizational effectiveness

According to Peterson, many organizations unknowingly accumulate Knowledge Debt™ while focusing primarily on technology investments without strengthening the knowledge foundations required to support them.

From Knowledge Management to Enterprise Intelligence™

The book introduces Enterprise Intelligence™ as a strategic capability that extends beyond traditional Knowledge Management, governance, learning, data, technology, and artificial intelligence initiatives.

Enterprise Intelligence™ is defined as the organizational capability to transform trusted knowledge into informed decisions, coordinated action, continuous learning, resilience, and sustained organizational performance.

“Organizations do not have an information shortage. They have an integration problem. Knowledge, governance, people, processes, technology, learning, data, and artificial intelligence are deeply interconnected, yet organizations frequently attempt to improve them through disconnected initiatives. Enterprise Intelligence™ begins when those capabilities start working as an ecosystem.”

— Asha Aziza Peterson, Founder & CEO, Collaborative Shared Technologies LLC®

The KnowledgeRoots™ Executive Equation

The book introduces what Peterson describes as the KnowledgeRoots™ Executive Equation:

Knowledge Debt™ is the Problem.

Enterprise Intelligence™ is the Strategic Capability.

KnowledgeRoots™ Enterprise Intelligence Architecture™ is the Blueprint.

KnowledgeRoots™ Enterprise Maturity Framework™ is the Measurement System.

Intelligent Organizations are the Outcome.

According to Peterson, organizations that successfully connect these elements will be better positioned to adapt, learn, innovate, and compete in an increasingly knowledge-intensive and AI-enabled world.

Introducing KnowledgeRoots™ Enterprise Intelligence Architecture™

The KnowledgeRoots™ Enterprise Intelligence Architecture™ provides an executive-level blueprint for connecting organizational capabilities that are often managed independently.

Rather than treating knowledge, governance, people, culture, processes, technology, learning, data, and artificial intelligence as separate initiatives, the architecture positions them as components of an interconnected enterprise intelligence ecosystem.

The objective is not simply to create more information, implement more tools, or deploy more technology.

The objective is to create organizational conditions through which trusted knowledge becomes intelligence, and intelligence drives meaningful action and measurable impact.

Beyond Knowledge Management. Beyond Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is accelerating the urgency of this challenge.

Organizations increasingly seek AI capabilities that can automate work, support decisions, improve productivity, and augment human performance.

However, fragmented, outdated, inaccessible, poorly governed, or unreliable knowledge limits the value organizations can realize from increasingly sophisticated AI technologies.

The KnowledgeRoots™ approach therefore positions organizational knowledge as a strategic foundation for intelligent operations.

Its central proposition is straightforward:

Knowledge is an Asset.

Knowledge Debt™ is a Liability.

Enterprise Intelligence™ is the Advantage.

Executive Guide + Executive Companion Workbook

Alongside the official cover reveal, Collaborative Shared Technologies LLC® is unveiling the KnowledgeRoots™ Enterprise Intelligence Architecture™ Executive Companion Workbook, which will launch simultaneously with the Executive Guide on November 3, 2026.

The two publications serve complementary purposes.

The Executive Guide introduces Knowledge Debt™, Enterprise Intelligence™, and the conceptual foundations of the KnowledgeRoots™ Enterprise Intelligence Architecture™.

The Executive Companion Workbook extends the learning experience by helping readers evaluate, reflect upon, and apply those concepts within their own organizational environments.

Together, the two publications establish the first product family within the broader KnowledgeRoots™ Executive Series and provide complementary executive resources for understanding and applying the KnowledgeRoots™ Enterprise Intelligence Architecture™.

Growing Industry Recognition

Interest in Peterson’s work is expanding through published media coverage, invitations for executive and podcast interviews, growing professional engagement around Knowledge Debt™, the launch of the KnowledgeRoots™ Community, and thought leadership published across digital platforms. These activities are advancing conversations focused on:

Knowledge ManagementEnterprise Intelligence™Organizational LearningAI ReadinessInformation GovernanceDigital TransformationFuture-of-Work Strategies

As organizations seek practical approaches for navigating AI adoption, knowledge fragmentation, and organizational complexity, interest in Knowledge Debt™ and Enterprise Intelligence™ is continuing to grow ahead of the November 3 launch.

Building the KnowledgeRoots™ Ecosystem

KnowledgeRoots™ is being developed as more than a publishing initiative.

The broader ecosystem includes:

KnowledgeRoots™ Enterprise Intelligence Architecture™KnowledgeRoots™ Enterprise Maturity Framework™Knowledge Debt™Enterprise Intelligence™KnowledgeRoots™ Executive SeriesExecutive workbooksAssessmentsProfessional learning resourcesAdvisory servicesCommunity engagement initiativesFuture certification and training opportunities

The recently launched KnowledgeRoots™ Community further extends this mission by providing a collaborative environment for executives, practitioners, consultants, and organizational leaders interested in Enterprise Intelligence™, Knowledge Management, AI readiness, governance, and organizational learning.

About the Author

Asha Aziza Peterson is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Collaborative Shared Technologies LLC®, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB).

A retired United States Air Force veteran with more than two decades of federal government experience, Peterson is a Knowledge Management professional, executive author, speaker, consultant, and creator of the KnowledgeRoots™ intellectual property ecosystem.

“I believe the organizations that thrive in the future will not necessarily be those with the most technology. They will be the organizations that learn the fastest, preserve knowledge most effectively, and consistently transform knowledge into better decisions. That belief ultimately led to the creation of KnowledgeRoots™, Knowledge Debt™, and Enterprise Intelligence™.”
