Q1 2026 earnings summary14 May, 2026

Executive summary

  • Achieved a key regulatory milestone as the FCC advanced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to promote PNT technologies, reflecting urgency for resilient GPS alternatives and strengthening national PNT infrastructure with a 5G-based solution leveraging valuable spectrum assets.

  • Ongoing constructive engagement with FCC, government agencies, and industry stakeholders, including joint testing with railroads, collaboration with the tolling industry, and partnerships with leading telecom providers.

  • Revenue for Q1 2026 was $1.0 million, down 35% year-over-year, while net loss improved to $10.6 million from $58.6 million in Q1 2025, driven by favorable changes in derivative liability valuations.

  • Demonstrated real-world coexistence of 5G PNT network with RFID technologies and joined the OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation to advance open and interoperable Open RAN solutions.

  • Building momentum in policy and industry, with active participation in high-level dialogues, strategic partnerships, and a robust leadership team supporting execution and growth.

Financial highlights

  • Ended Q1 2026 with $143.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, providing significant liquidity and flexibility.

  • Recognized $12.6 million in non-cash gains from changes in fair value of derivative and warrants liability, partially offsetting a net loss of $10.6 million for the quarter.

  • Operating expenses rose to $20.3 million, up from $18.5 million year-over-year, mainly due to increased R&D and SG&A.

  • Significant number of warrants expiring in October 2026 could deliver over $200 million in additional capital, depending on stock price performance.

  • Outstanding long-term debt was $267.2 million, primarily from the 2028 Notes.

Outlook and guidance

  • Confident in resolving technical and policy questions within the FCC and interagency process, aiming for commercialization during the current administration.

  • Strategic focus on enabling a 5G-based backup and complement to GPS, with ongoing discussions with wireless carriers, satellite operators, and big tech.

  • Plans to deploy 5G-based 3D PNT/broadband infrastructure in partnership with network providers, minimizing capital expenditure.

  • Management expects continued losses and higher operating expenses as investments in R&D and network expansion persist.

  • Current liquidity is projected to cover working capital and capital expenditures beyond the next 12 months, but long-term needs may require additional capital raises.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
