First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

First quarter 2026 revenues totaled approximately $3.7 million compared to $39 thousand in the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by the acquisition of LSI in February 2026, and, to a lesser extent, NuCrypt in March 2026. Operating expenses totaled $19.8 million compared to $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, up 139%, largely reflecting higher personnel costs across research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative functions and higher expenses primarily associated with acquisition-related transaction expenses. The Company reported a net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.02 per basic share for the first quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $17.0 million or $0.13 per basic share, for the prior-year period. The year-over-year change in net loss was primarily driven by the decrease in the non-cash gain on the mark-to-market of the Company's derivative liability (which relates to warrants issued for the merger with QPhoton in June 2022) and higher operating expenses. Total assets at March 31, 2026 were approximately $1.6 billion, relatively unchanged compared to December 31, 2025. Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled approximately $1.4 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to approximately $1.5 billion at year-end 2025. Total liabilities at March 31, 2026 were $23.4 million, an increase of $2.7 million compared to year-end 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had stockholders' equity totaling $1.6 billion. As of March 31, 2026, contract backlog was approximately $16 million. First Quarter 2026 Operational Highlights
