HappyRun Sports Steps In to Replace Stolen Make-A-Wish E-Bike

Published

on

After Jaiden’s Make-A-Wish e-bike was stolen in Las Vegas, HappyRun Sports stepped in with a replacement — restoring his independence and freedom to ride.

ORANGE, Calif., Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HappyRun Sports is featured in a FOX5 Surprise Squad story about Jaiden Rector, a teenager living with cystic fibrosis whose Make-A-Wish gift — a HappyRun G300 Pro — was stolen. The July 16 segment followed Jaiden and his family as the FOX5 team turned a painful loss into an unforgettable surprise.

In the FOX5 interview, Jaiden explained that cystic fibrosis affects his lungs and digestive tract and requires frequent medication and breathing treatments. Running quickly leaves him out of breath, while the G300 Pro gave him an easier way to stay alongside his friends.

“I can actually keep up with my friends — like being a normal kid for once. It was probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever had,” Jaiden said in the segment.

A G300 Pro That Changed Everyday Life

Jaiden first received the HappyRun G300 Pro through Make-A-Wish. According to the FOX5 segment, Jason, Head of the U.S. Region at HappyRun Sports, personally drove the original bike from Los Angeles to Las Vegas on Jaiden’s wish day.

Designed as a high-performance, long-range all-terrain model, the G300 Pro combines electric assistance with adjustable riding modes and a suspension system built for varied outdoor surfaces. For Jaiden, those features had a simple, practical value: he could choose a comfortable pace, join his friends outdoors and experience a greater sense of independence.

The Theft — and an Immediate Response

The G300 Pro was stolen after Jaiden parked it outside while going inside to pick up food. When he returned, it was gone. His mother, Ashley, told FOX5 that the family was shocked and turned to GoFundMe because the stolen bike had been his Make-A-Wish gift.

When word reached the HappyRun team, they took action immediately. As Jason explained on camera, HappyRun could provide another G300 Pro — “no questions asked.”

“Another G300 Pro — no questions asked.”

Head of the US region Jason then drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas again — his second personal delivery to Jaiden and his family. Witnessed by FOX5’s Surprise Squad, a brand-new G300 Pro appeared in front of Jaiden.

Jaiden’s reaction was immediate: “I love it.” As the new bike’s lights came on and he prepared to ride, he and his family repeatedly thanked the team.

Why the G300 Pro Mattered

The replacement was more than a like-for-like product delivery. The G300 Pro’s motor assistance, adjustable settings and all-terrain platform offer a flexible way to ride across different outdoor surfaces. In Jaiden’s story, the most meaningful benefit was not a specification on a product page — it was the ability to stay connected with friends and return to an activity he loved.

Showing Up — Again

For HappyRun Sports, the story reflects a simple responsibility: when a product becomes part of someone’s ability to participate in everyday life, support should not end with the first delivery.

“Every bike we build is meant to be a reliable companion. In Jaiden’s story, that promise means helping a young rider get back outside, stay connected with friends and feel the wind again,” said Jason, Head of the U.S. Region at HappyRun Sports. “We don’t just build e-bikes; we craft experiences that people truly love.”

The Vision: Mobility for Everyone

“HappyRun’s mission is direct: mobility should be carbon-neutral, exhilarating and open to everyone — empowering riders to explore a wider world with machines as versatile as they are powerful.”

About HappyRun Sports

HappyRun Sports is a California-based electric mobility brand creating electric dirt bikes for off-road exploration, along with e-bikes for recreation, cargo use and everyday mobility. Its portfolio ranges from high-performance models such as the G300 Pro to practical fat-tire and cargo platforms.

AudioEye Reports Record Second Quarter 2026 Results

Published

on

By

Forty-Second Consecutive Period of Record Revenue

TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AudioEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEYE) (“AudioEye” or the “Company”), an industry-leading digital accessibility company, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“This was an outstanding quarter with our forty-second quarter of sequential revenue growth and low double-digit year-over-year ARR growth. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow have reached a pivotal point, and GAAP net loss improved sequentially from the first quarter. We are raising our full year adjusted EBITDA guidance and expect to achieve over $15 million of annualized run rate adjusted EBITDA by the end of the year, with meaningful free cash flow generation in the second half of 2026. As our free cash flow continues to scale, we are evaluating options to deploy excess cash, including potential share buybacks and dividends,” said Kelly Georgevich, Chief Executive Officer of AudioEye.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) as of June 30, 2026, increased sequentially to $42.3M from $41.2M as of March 31, 2026, and increased 11% compared to June 30, 2025.Total revenue increased 9% to a record $10.7M from $9.9M in the same prior year period.Gross profit increased to $8.4M (79% of total revenue) from $7.6M (77% of total revenue) in the same prior year period. The increase in gross profit was driven by continued revenue growth.Adjusted gross margin, which is defined as gross margin adjusted for non-cash items such as stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses in cost of revenue, was 84% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 83% in the same prior year period.Operating expenses were $9.0M, an increase of 23% from the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the prior year quarter including a one-time gain on revaluation of contingent consideration of $1.4M, which did not recur in the current quarter, as well as increased general and administrative expenses in the current quarter, primarily driven by higher litigation expenses.Net loss was $0.9M, or $(0.07) per share, compared to a net loss of $0.0M, or $(0.00) per share, in the same prior year period. The prior year comparable period included a $1.4M one-time gain on revaluation of contingent consideration. Removing this impact, net loss improved due primarily to higher gross profit.Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2026 was a record $3.0M, and adjusted EPS was $0.23 per share, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $1.9M and adjusted EPS of $0.15 per share in the same prior year period. For Q2 2026, the adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS results reflect adjustments primarily for stock-based compensation expense, litigation expense, depreciation and amortization, severance expense, and interest expense.At June 30, 2026, the Company had $8.7M in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $0.1M from March 31, 2026.

Other Updates

AudioEye released the 2026 Digital Accessibility Index on June 25, 2026, scanning over 165,000 pages across 6,100 domains in the U.S. and Europe. The findings revealed a consistent gap between where accessibility programs focus and where risk is the highest, as AI search increasingly routes users past the homepage to less compliant interior pages. The scans also revealed that European sites averaged 25% more accessibility issues per page than U.S. sites.AudioEye appointed Matthew Domeyer as Chief Financial Officer, effective in July 2026. Matt brings finance leadership experience from Flexsteel Industries and PricewaterhouseCoopers, and succeeds Kelly Georgevich, who transitioned from CFO to CEO in May 2026.As of June 30, 2026, AudioEye had approximately 129,000 customers, an increase of 9,000 year-over-year from June 30, 2025, driven by increases in the Partner and Marketplace channel.

Financial Outlook
AudioEye expects revenue of between $10.85M and $11.05M for the third quarter of 2026 and between $43.5M and $44.0M for the full year 2026. The Company expects adjusted EBITDA of between $3.4M and $3.6M for the third quarter of 2026 and at least $12.7M of adjusted EBITDA, or 40% year-over-year growth, for the full year 2026. The Company expects adjusted EPS of between $0.26 and $0.28 per share for the third quarter of 2026 and at least $0.98 per share for the full year 2026.

Forward-Looking Statements
All statements in this press release about AudioEye’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, prospects, financial condition, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “should”, “confident”, “intend”, “plan”, “will”, “expects”, “estimates”, “projects”, “positioned”, “strategy”, “outlook” and similar words. You should read the statements that contain these types of words carefully. Such forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future cash flows of the Company, anticipated contributions from new sales channels, long-term growth prospects, opportunities in the digital accessibility industry, our revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and ARR guidance, and our expectation of investments in marketing and sales. These statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements, including the variability of AudioEye’s revenue and financial performance; sales channels and offerings; product development and technological changes; the acceptance of AudioEye’s products in the marketplace; the effectiveness of our integration efforts; competition; inherent uncertainties and costs associated with litigation; and general economic conditions. These and other risks are described more fully in AudioEye’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There may be events in the future that AudioEye is not able to predict accurately or over which AudioEye has no control.

AudioEye does not undertake any obligation to update such forward-looking statements to reflect events or uncertainties after the date hereof.

About Key Operating Metrics
We consider annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) as a key operating metric and a key indicator of our overall business. We also use ARR as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating, on at least a quarterly and annual basis, actual results against such expectations.

We manage customers through two primary channels, Enterprise and Partner and Marketplace. Enterprise channel consists of our larger customers and organizations, including those with non-platform custom websites, who generally engage directly with AudioEye sales personnel for custom pricing and solutions. This channel also includes federal, state and local government agencies. The Partner and Marketplace channel consists of our CMS partners, platform & agency partners, authorized resellers and our marketplace. This channel serves small and medium sized businesses who are on a partner or reseller’s web-hosting platform or who purchase an AudioEye solution from our marketplace.

We define ARR as the sum of (i) for our Enterprise channel, the total of the annualized recurring fee at the date of determination under each active contract, plus (ii) for our Partner and Marketplace channel, the annual or monthly recurring fee for all active customers at the date of determination, in each case, assuming no changes to the subscription, multiplied by 12 if applicable. Recurring fees are defined as revenues expected to be generated from services typically offered as a subscription service or annual service offering such as our automation and platform, periodic auditing, human-assisted technological fixes, legal support and professional service offerings and other services that reoccur on a multi-year contract. This determination includes both annual and monthly contracts for recurring products. Some of our contracts are terminable prior to the expected term, which may impact future ARR. ARR excludes non-recurring fees, which are defined as revenue expected to be generated from services typically not offered as a subscription service or annual service offering such as our PDF remediation services business, one-time mobile application reports, and other miscellaneous services that are offered as non-subscription services or are expected to be one-time in nature.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
From time to time, we review adjusted financial measures that assist us in comparing our operating performance consistently over time, as such measures remove the impact of certain items, as applicable, such as our capital structure (primarily interest charges), certain non-cash items, including stock compensation and depreciation and amortization expense, and other expenses that do not relate to our core operations, including significant transaction and litigation-related expenses and other costs that are expected to be non-recurring. In order to provide investors with greater insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used in our financial and operational decision-making, the Company has supplemented the consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis in this press release with the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share (adjusted EPS) and Adjusted gross margin.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Company results as reported under GAAP. The Company compensates for such limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only as supplemental data. We also provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures used. Investors are encouraged to carefully review this reconciliation. In addition, because these non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these measures, as defined by us, may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share
We define: (i) Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus stock-based compensation expense, less change in fair value of contingent consideration, plus certain litigation expense, plus certain acquisition expense, plus certain severance expense, plus loss on disposal or impairment of long-lived assets, plus loss on extinguishment of debt, and plus lost deposit on alternative financing; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of GAAP revenue; and (iii) Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share (EPS) as net income (loss) per diluted common share, plus interest expense, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus stock-based compensation expense, less change in fair value of contingent consideration, plus certain litigation expense, plus certain acquisition expense, plus certain severance expense, plus loss on disposal or impairment of long-lived assets, plus loss on extinguishment of debt, and plus lost deposit on alternative financing, each on a per share basis. Adjusted earnings per diluted share includes incremental shares in the share count that are considered anti-dilutive in a GAAP net loss position.

Adjusted Gross Margin
We define Adjusted gross margin as gross profit, plus stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization expense allocated to cost of revenue, expressed as a percentage of total revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share, and Adjusted gross margin are used to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. All of the items adjusted in these calculations are either recurring non-cash items or items that management does not consider in assessing our ongoing operating performance. In the case of the non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation expense and valuation adjustments to assets and liabilities, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our comparative operating performance because the measures without such items are expected to be less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from expenses that do not relate to our core operations and are more reflective of other factors that affect operating performance. In the case of items that do not relate to our core operations, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact does not reflect ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity under GAAP, or otherwise, and is not an alternative to cash flow from continuing operating activities, despite the advantages regarding the use and analysis of these measures as mentioned above. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share, and Adjusted gross margin, as disclosed in this press release, have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP; nor are these measures intended to be measures of liquidity or free cash flow.

To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage readers to review the consolidated GAAP financial statements included in this press release and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP-based measure, Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share to net loss per diluted share, the most directly comparable GAAP-based measure, and Adjusted gross margin to gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP-based measure are provided in tables later in this press release. We strongly urge readers to review these reconciliations, along with the financial statements included in this press release.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and statements made in our conference call today also include the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EPS and free cash flow guidance for the third quarter and full year 2026 as well as adjusted EBITDA run-rate expectations. We calculate forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. We have not provided quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because the excluded items are not available on a prospective basis without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. It is probable that these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

HERNDON, Va., Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HawkEye 360, Inc. (NYSE: HAWK) (“HawkEye 360” or “the Company”), a global leader in signals intelligence data and analytics, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Our second quarter results reflect HawkEye 360’s continued growth as a premier defense technology company and the strength of demand for our RF signals intelligence solutions, as governments around the world increasingly prioritize space-enabled intelligence, surveillance and electronic warfare capabilities,” said Chief Executive Officer John Serafini. “We delivered another quarter of strong revenue growth, including record international revenue, reflecting the acceleration of our business model and increasing adoption of our RF signals intelligence solutions among defense, intelligence and allied government customers worldwide, particularly in areas of geopolitical tension where high-quality signals intelligence is exceptionally valuable.”

Mr. Serafini continued, “We are seeing great momentum across the business heading into the back half of the year, with strong tailwinds from growing global demand for space-based RF intelligence. Our next phase of constellation growth with Clusters 15 and 16, and our first cluster of Block 3 Kestrel satellites, are expected to further expand our collection capacity and global coverage. Additionally, we are seeing the benefits of our integration with ISA’s algorithms which have enhanced our processing latency and military radar product solutions with greater automation. With this momentum, HawkEye 360 is well positioned to capitalize on the growing importance of RF intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities in today’s evolving global security environment. We continue to invest meaningfully in our best-in-class signals intelligence platform, exceptional team, and differentiated go-to-market capabilities to drive profitability and shareholder value.”

Revenue of $49.8 million, up 87% compared to the prior-year period of $26.6 million.Achieved record international revenue of $21.0 million, up 134% compared to the prior-year period of $9.0 million.Recorded a net loss of $15.3 million, compared to net income of $1.6 million in the prior year period.Realized Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, of $7.0 million, compared to $7.8 million in the prior-year period.Recognized net cash provided by operating activities of $11.6 million and Free Cash flow, a non-GAAP metric, of $5.4 million, compared to $4.6 million and $(1.3) million, respectively, in the prior-year period.Confirmed backlog of $292.2 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $285.0 million as of March 31, 2026.Successfully closed an IPO in May 2026, raising $437.5 million in net proceeds.

Second Quarter 2026  and Recent Business Highlights: 

Announced a multi-year contract to provide the Indian Navy and regional partner nations with the Company’s space-based RF data and analytics to enhance maritime domain awareness across the Indian Ocean Region. The award expands the Company’s support of the Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness initiative and further demonstrates growing international adoption of HawkEye 360’s RF intelligence capabilities.Demonstrated commercial-enabled track custody alongside Lockheed Martin during Valiant Shield 2026, a U.S. Pacific Command biennial field training exercise, achieving record latency speeds, validating the Company’s ability to tactically enable the warfighter in real operational conditions, an early step toward supporting missions that require precise, continuously updated location data to guide long-range weapons systems.Announced that ISA, was selected by the U.S. Space Force’s Space Rapid Capabilities Office for a Small Business Innovation Research Direct-to-Phase II award to develop an adaptable radar-warning sensor payload to enhance space domain awareness in geosynchronous orbit.Achieved Full Operational Capacity for the Company’s Cluster 14 satellites, launched in March 2026, completing the shortest commissioning period in HawkEye 360’s history and further expanding the Company’s space-based signals intelligence constellation and collection capacity to support growing defense, maritime and national security customer missions worldwide.Announced a contract award from NASA’s Commercial Crew and Commercial Low Earth Orbit Development Programs to supply the Company’s RFIQ™ data product in support of research on resilient, secure space-to-space communications for future commercial spacecraft missions.Entered into a new $125.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in May 2031, enhancing liquidity and financial flexibility to support continued investment in the Company’s space-based RF data and analytics platform, constellation expansion, product innovation and broader strategic growth initiatives.

Full Year 2026 Outlook

For full-year 2026, the Company expects total revenue of between $215.0 million and $220.0 million, and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of between $30.0 million and $36.0 million.

The Company has not reconciled its non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because certain reconciling items, such as stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and depreciation and amortization, are uncertain or out of the Company’s control and cannot be reasonably predicted. The actual amount of these expenses will have a significant impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts.

The Company will hold a conference call today, August 13, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET. The call can be accessed by dialing 1-877-407-0792 (U.S. participants) or 1-201-689-8263 (International participants).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company reports Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation and amortization, as well as significant non-cash and/or non-recurring expenses that are not considered part of the Company’s operations and revenue-generating activities, or are nonrecurring or infrequent in nature. Management believes these items are not useful in evaluating the Company’s core operating performance. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense; acquisition-related costs, one-time costs related to the IPO, settlements, net of related legal expenses, changes in fair value of contingent and deferred consideration, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, and gains or losses on extinguishment of debt.  The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of satellites, property, and equipment.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow in conjunction with other GAAP measures to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies, make strategic decisions, and communicate with its board of directors and investors concerning its financial performance. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess its financial performance because they allow the Company to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of its capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense and income), asset base (such as depreciation and capital expenditures) and other items (such as non-recurring or non-cash costs) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period.

The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors and analysts in assessing its financial performance and results of operations across reporting periods by excluding items it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. Net Income (Loss) is the U.S. GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is the U.S. GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are presented below under the headings “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA” and “Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow.” The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. You are encouraged to evaluate each of these adjustments and the reasons management considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in such presentation. The Company’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. The Company may modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow in the future, and any such modification may be material. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in the Company’s industry and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Other Key Metric

Backlog is a key measure of the Company’s business. The Company’s backlog supports predictable revenue expansion through a recurring model, enabling forward revenue visibility. Management uses backlog to more effectively forecast the Company’s future business and results, which supports decisions around capital allocation. It also helps the Company identify future growth or operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. The Company also believes backlog is useful for investors in forecasting the Company’s future results and understanding the growth of its business.

The Company’s backlog represents the portion of legally binding contracts that are expected to result in future revenue. Backlog may also include change orders for any contracts that have been formally contracted. This includes firm contracts that contain remaining performance obligations, including the cancellable portion of the contract value for contracts that provide the customer with a right to terminate for convenience without incurring a substantive termination penalty. Backlog also can include up to the remaining ceiling on single award IDIQ contracts where no task orders have been issued. Backlog excludes the value of unexercised options to extend contracts, the value of multi-award IDIQ contracts, and the value of any contracts, or a portion thereof, where management deems execution to be unlikely to result in revenue due to customer-specific or other factors.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that the Company believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of assumptions and risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond the Company’s control that could affect its financial results. These risks and uncertainties are detailed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 14, 2026, and other filings that the Company makes from time to time with the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for management to predict all risks, nor can the Company assess the impact of all factors on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements the Company may make.

By

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), (“Vuzix” or, the “Company”), a leading supplier of AI-powered smart glasses, waveguides and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, today reported its second quarter results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

“Our branded enterprise smart glasses business continues to generate revenue, customer insight and market credibility, while opening new doors for Vuzix in the smart glasses ecosystem as an OEM smart glasses, waveguides and display systems provider,” said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vuzix. “We delivered our initial next-generation Ultralite Pro glasses to Amazon for live commercial testing, expanded their M400 deployments across its fulfillment centers, moved our Collins Aerospace program into initial production deployments, delivered initial waveguide-based systems to a leading global automaker, and received initial and follow-on orders from Augmex for enterprise deployments. We continued to make further investments in our waveguide plant and manufacturing equipment to improve throughput, reduce development cycle times, and enable one production line to support development while another supports volume production, positioning Vuzix to execute an increasing number of simultaneous ODM/OEM, defense and waveguide programs.”

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, total revenues decreased by 14% to $1.1 million versus $1.3 million for the comparable period in 2025. Product sales were $0.9 million versus $1.0 million, a decrease of 15%. Engineering services and OEM product sales were $0.2 million versus $0.3 million, a decrease of 8%.

There was an overall gross loss of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to a gross loss of $0.8 million for the comparable 2025 period, a 15% overall improvement.

Research and Development expense was $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 versus $2.6 million for the comparable 2025 period, an increase of 20%. This increase was largely due to increased external development costs for new products and higher cash salary and benefits related expenses due to headcount increases.

Selling and Marketing expense was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 versus $1.4 million for the comparable 2025 period, a decrease of 11%. The decrease was largely due to a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

General and Administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $2.7 million versus $2.8 million for the comparable 2025 period, a decrease of 3%.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, the net loss attributable to common shareholders was $7.7 million or $0.09 per share as compared to a loss of $7.7 million or $0.10 per share for the second quarter of 2025.

Net cash used in operating activities was $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2026 versus $4.8 million for the comparable 2025 period. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $17.3 million in cash and no current or long-term debt obligations.

Management Outlook

“The smart glasses industry is entering a period of dynamic evolution as advances in AI and platform ecosystems support the transformation of the industry and ease application development for customers’ specialized needs. Usable and deployable applications that can be integrated into existing customer IT environments with relative ease have long been a limiting factor in the enterprise smart glasses market,” said Mr. Travers. “Fortune 500 companies are defining their AI and smart glasses strategies and have begun taking next steps to execute against their operational needs. AI can automate and improve many tasks, but skilled tradespeople, technicians and frontline workers operating in the physical world are not going away. At the same time the pull from end customers across our enterprise and ODM/OEM business areas for AI based smart glasses continue to gain momentum. Vuzix intends to continue investing in its waveguide innovation and furthering strategic relationships to better position us to capitalize on these opportunities, while simultaneously opening new opportunities beyond AI and AR applications across our main enterprise, defense and ODM/OEM markets,” said Mr. Travers.
