Management Commentary
VirTra CEO John Givens stated:“Our third quarter results reflect continued improvement across the business, highlighted by strong revenue growth, accelerating bookings, and improved profitability. We are particularly encouraged by the acceleration in customer orders, which, together with our improving revenue performance, provides tangible evidence that demand is translating into business results.

“We are also seeing encouraging developments in the government funding environment. Following nearly two years of limited grant activity, funding programs are reopening and customers are actively pursuing new opportunities. While the timing of grant awards, funding distributions, and customer deployments remains difficult to predict, we believe these developments represent an important step toward a more favorable operating environment.

“At the same time, we continue to expand our opportunities across federal, military, and international markets, supported by recent contract awards, our participation in the U.S. Army Marketplace, and ongoing customer engagement. As we look ahead, our focus remains on expanding our presence across our core markets, deepening customer relationships, and capitalizing on the improving demand environment.”

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Total revenue was $7.6 million, compared to $5.3 million in the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to an increase in government and international sales.

Gross profit was $5.3 million (70% of revenue), compared to $3.5 million (66% of revenue) in the prior year period.

Net operating expense was $3.3 million, compared to $4.0 million in the prior year period.

Income from operations was $2.0 million, compared to $(0.5) million in the prior year period.

Net income (loss) was $2.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $(0.4) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was $2.6 million, compared to $0.9 million in the prior year period.

Nine Months 2026 Financial Results
Total revenue was $16.9 million, compared to $19.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease was due to several customers booked in Q3 and Q4 2025 being unable to accept delivery in the first nine months of 2026.

Gross profit was $10.9 million (65% of revenue), compared to $13.5 million (69% of revenue) in the prior year period.

Net operating expense was $10.4 million, compared to $11.7 million in the prior year period.

Income from operations was $0.5 million, compared to $1.8 million in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was $2.2 million, compared to $2.5 million in the prior year period.

Financial Commentary
VirTra CFO Alanna Boudreau stated:“Third quarter revenue increased 42% year-over-year to $7.6 million, driven by international system deliveries and improved revenue conversion, while gross margin expanded to 70%, reflecting the benefit of higher revenue volume and improved operating leverage. We generated $10.3 million of bookings during the quarter and ended September with $27.6 million of backlog, supporting our visibility into future revenue opportunities.

“Our balance sheet remains healthy, with $18.4 million in cash at quarter-end, providing the flexibility to invest in our technology, operational capabilities, and growth initiatives. Although customer funding and procurement timelines continue to influence the pace at which backlog converts to revenue, we remain focused on converting backlog into revenue, managing costs, and maintaining the operating discipline needed to support profitable growth.”

About the Presentation of Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and before other non-operating costs and income (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA also includes non-cash stock option expense and other than temporary impairment loss on investments. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently. VirTra calculates its Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items it does not consider to be indicative of its performance and its ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because management believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to VirTra's investors regarding VirTra's financial condition and results of operations and because Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in VirTra's industry, several of which present a form of Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of VirTra's results as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative for net income, cash flows from operating activities and other consolidated income or cash flows statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the following tables:
