Transitioning from a component supplier to a higher-value system-level connectivity company, evidenced by expanded platform capabilities and deeper Tier 1 commercial engagements. Acquired HPUE MegaFi 2 assets from Nextivity to broaden the AirgainConnect portfolio, allowing the company to serve diverse deployment needs from fully integrated gateways to high-power router solutions. AirgainConnect pipeline grew approximately 40% sequentially to over 55 Tier 1 and Tier 2 opportunities, with a favorable shift toward non-first responder markets like energy and enterprise fleets. Lighthouse platform transitioned from network validation to the commercial phase, focusing on solving Tier 1 MNO pain points regarding the high cost and disruption of traditional 5G in-building upgrades. Consumer segment performance was impacted by typical seasonality and a specific supply constraint involving memory availability and pricing at a single OEM serving cable operators. Enterprise IoT momentum is recovering, highlighted by a $4 million purchase order from a long-standing customer and new design wins in robotics and autonomous defense craft. Q2 2026 guidance projects a 17% sequential revenue increase at the midpoint, driven primarily by growth in the enterprise and automotive sectors. Lighthouse commercialization is expected to begin in late 2026 with indoor deployments, followed by a broader opportunity in 2027 as outdoor evaluations conclude. Consumer revenue is expected to remain stable in Q2 as supply constraints ease, with two major Tier 1 MNO design wins scheduled to ramp in the second half of the year. Management anticipates improved operating leverage throughout 2026, with guidance for Q2 2026 reflecting positive adjusted EBITDA and EPS. International expansion for Lighthouse in the Middle East is expected to resume with initial deployments in the coming months following a pause due to regional conflict. The acquisition of MegaFi 2 assets strengthens the company's position within the AT&T FirstNet ecosystem, enabling direct ordering through the AT&T Speed portal. A specific supply chain headwind regarding memory pricing and availability is currently limited to one OEM but is being monitored for potential impacts on the t...

Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. The first quarter marked a solid start to 2026 as we began converting the strategic groundwork we laid last year into broader commercial momentum across the business. Over the past several years, we have been transforming Airgain into a higher value system-level connectivity company. In Q1, that transformation showed up through customer wins, expanded platform capabilities, and deeper commercial engagements across our core markets and growth platforms. Let me start with our platform initiatives. First, we expand Airgain Connect capabilities through the acquisition of the HPUE MegaFi 2 assets from Nextivity. This acquisition expands our portfolio and strengthens our vehicle gateway capabilities across public safety, utility, and enterprise fleet applications. It also broadens what we can offer to our customers. Some customers need a fully integrated vehicle gateway. Others want a simpler high-power router solution.
With Airgain Connect, we can now support a wider range of deployment needs. Both AirgainConnect Fleet and AirgainConnect MegaFi 2 are part of the AT&T FirstNet offering, and customers can order these solutions directly through the AT&T SPID portal. We are also seeing encouraging progress in the Airgain Connect pipeline. In March, we closed a tier two customer in the energy sector that operates across multiple U.S. regions. This customer is deploying Airgain Connect across a fleet of more than 300 maintenance and service vehicles following field trials that demonstrated improved connectivity, performance, and ease of installation. As of last week, our pipeline include more than 55 tier one and tier two opportunities, up roughly 40% from the approximately 40 tier one and tier two opportunities we mentioned on our last call.
The mix is also becoming more attractive, with most of these opportunities now coming from non-first responder markets. Importantly, these opportunities are also advancing through the funnel. More than one-third of our tier one and tier two opportunities are now in trial or post-trial stages compared to a quarter on our last call. This gives us increasing confidence that the pipeline is not only broader but also moving closer to conversion. At the same time, tier one engagement continues to deepen, with several opportunities becoming more strategic. While these larger opportunities take longer to convert, we believe the pipeline is moving in the right direction. These emerging opportunities reinforce our view that the strategy we outlined on our last call is working and that Airgain Connect is positioned to become a more meaningful contributor as we move through 2026 and beyond.
Second, we continue to advance Lighthouse. In the U.S., we are now working with a business sponsor and a tier one Mobile Network Operator to progress toward a live enterprise trial. This moves Lighthouse from network validation into the business and commercial base. If the trial progresses as expected, we believe initial commercialization opportunities could begin toward the end of 2026, with a broader opportunity developing in 2027. This opportunity with the tier one MNO is being driven by clear customer pain points around coverage, capacity, and the cost of network upgrades. In many in-building environments, traditional solutions such as DAS or small cells can be expensive, disruptive, and slow to deploy. Lighthouse gives customers a faster and more cost-effective path to upgrading from 4G-5G coverage. For indoor deployments, the value proposition is straightforward: better coverage, lower cost, and faster deployment.
For outdoor user cases, Lighthouse reduces coverage gaps and provides network performance benefits, non-disruptive integration, and scalability. Based on our engagement with this tier one MNO, we believe indoor deployments could represent the near-term opportunity, with initial deployments targeted toward the end of this year. Outdoor deployments remain an important longer-term opportunity and are expected to follow a more expanded evaluation and commercialization cycle. In the Middle East, our relationship with Omantel remains an important entry point. Deployment activity was paused due to the conflict in the region, but engagement is now ongoing, and we expect to move forward with initial deployments over the coming months. We continue to advance our roadmap for integrated 4G and 5G coverage solutions designed for challenging indoor and outdoor environments. This roadmap supports 4G and 5G co-location, expands the range of deployment scenarios we can address, and strengthens the long-term commercial opportunity for Lighthouse.
We are seeing customer interest in trialing the combined solution as units become available. As our engagement with the tier one MNO and enterprise customers has progressed, we believe we now have a clear path to commercialization with our current product roadmap. As a result, we have realigned our resources and priorities to focus on accelerating commercialization and revenue generation. Turning to our core markets. In consumer, we secure a multi-year, multi-million dollar embedded antenna design win for a next generation 5G home connectivity platform with a tier one North American MNO, with production units anticipated later this year. As expected, consumer revenue declined sequentially due to seasonality. Looking into Q2, we expect consumer revenue to remain relatively stable, with underlying demand still healthy. The primary factor we are monitoring in the near term is a supply constraint at the gateway level, particularly around memory availability and pricing.
This is impacting our OEM's ability to ship finished systems and, in turn, can affect the timing of our antenna shipments. At this point, this dynamic is limited to a single OEM serving cable operators. Based on feedback from this OEM, they are actively working to address the issue, and we believe the impact is temporary. As we mentioned earlier, we have secured two tier one MNO design wins, and we remain on track for those programs to ramp in the second half of the year. In enterprise IoT, momentum is building. We received a $4 million purchase order from a long-standing IoT solution customer, with shipments expected to be completed this year, including initial shipments in Q2. This order reflects the resumption of demand from this customer and improves our near-term visibility.
We are also seeing continued traction across our embedded modem portfolio and expanding opportunities in emerging applications. We increased our IoT presence in robotics through a new design win with Coco Robotics, and we are seeing additional activity in adjacent areas such as drones.Including pre-production shipments in Q2 for a new customer program focused on autonomous VTOL rotorcraft for defense and commercial applications. Stepping back, Q1 reflect progress across our growth platforms in our core markets. Both enterprise and automotive grew sequentially. IoT momentum improved. Airgain Connect engagement broadened. Lighthouse moved into more focused commercialization discussions. Our consumer business remains supported by strong tier one relationships. Just as important, our pipeline is broader and continues to expand. We enter this next phase with a more focused operating model, improving visibility and clear opportunities to convert customer engagement into revenue.
With that, I'll turn the call over to Michael.
Thank you, Jacob. Before diving into the numbers, please note that my review of our financial results and guidance refers to non-GAAP figures. Information about the non-GAAP financial measures, including GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations, can be found in our earnings release. Let's turn to our first quarter results. Q1 sales came in at $11.5 million, which was at the midpoint of our guidance range. Enterprise sales were $5 million, up $0.7 million sequentially, driven by higher embedded modem sales. Automotive sales were $0.9 million, up $0.4 million sequentially, reflecting higher sales of Airgain Connect vehicle gateways. Consumer sales came in at $5.6 million, sequentially down $1.7 million, primarily due to seasonal impact.
Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter was 44.2%, compared to 46.3% in the prior quarter and relatively flat year-over-year. The sequential decline was primarily due to an unfavorable product mix. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the first quarter amounted to $6.1 million. While modestly higher sequentially due to typically higher first quarter marketing and trade show activities, operating expenses declined by 8% or $0.5 million year-over-year as we continue to optimize our OPEX model. In Q1, adjusted EBITDA was negative $0.9 million, $0.2 million lower than the midpoint of guidance. Non-GAAP EPS was negative $0.08 compared to negative $0.07 midpoint of guidance. As of 31st March 2026, our cash balance was $7.1 million, relatively flat sequentially.
Net cash proceeds from our ATM were $0.6 million. Moving to our outlook for the second quarter ending 30th June 2026. As a reminder, we provide quarterly guidance for sales, non-GAAP gross margin and expenses, non-GAAP EPS and adjusted EBITDA, as we believe these metrics to be key indicators for the overall performance of our business. For the second quarter of 2026, we project sales to range from $12.5 million-$14.5 million, with a midpoint of $13.5 million. The midpoint represents a 17% sequential increase driven by enterprise and automotive. We believe our outlook reflects improving demand visibility across the business and continued progress in converting the commercial traction Jacob discussed into revenue.
We expect non-GAAP gross margin for the second quarter to be in the range of 42.5%-45.5% or 44% at the midpoint. We project operating expenses to decrease sequentially to approximately $5.8 million. Non-GAAP EPS is expected to be positive $0.01 at the midpoint of our guidance. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be positive $0.2 million at the midpoint of our guidance. Overall, the actions we have taken over the past two quarters have improved our operating leverage and positioned us to convert top-line growth in more effectively into profitability. Now, I would like to turn the call back over to Jacob for his closing thoughts. Jacob?
Thanks, Michael. As we look ahead, we have good visibility into Q2 and see positive momentum for both our core and growth platforms for the rest of the year. Beyond Q2, we see a broader set of drivers. Demand in our consumer business remains healthy, and we expect improvement as supply constraints ease. IoT continues to build momentum through repeat orders and new application design wins. Airgain Connect is progressing from engagement toward conversion, with growing activity across utility and enterprise markets. Lighthouse is moving toward targeted commercial deployment in the U.S. and Middle East. Taken together, these drivers reflect a more focused and better positioned business with a stronger platform portfolio, a broader pipeline, and an operating model positioned for improved leverage as revenue scales. Our focus is execution, converting pipeline into deployments, driving growth and improving profitability as we move through 2026.
Operator, we're now ready to take questions.
Thank you. We will now be taking questions from Airgain sell-side analysts. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. Our first question is from Anthony Stoss with Craig-Hallum Capital Group. Please proceed.
Great. Thank you. Good afternoon, Jacob and Michael. Michael, I was trying to write as fast as I could. Can you just give me the revenue splits? I got consumer $5.6 million, but I missed auto and enterprise.
The guidance you meant, Tony?
No, the % of revenue in the quarter that came from auto, and same question for enterprise.
auto will be about, 40% approximately. I don't have the other numbers in front of me. enterprise would be about, higher actually, 50% approximately.
Enterprise 50, auto 40, and consumer 10?
No, no. It's.
Yeah, consumer is $5.6 million.
Yeah, I'll have to come back to you on this, Tony.
Okay. Okay.
I don't have those numbers in front of me.
Yeah, the bottom line is always, the enterprise and automotive that, we're seeing a sequential growth, and we expect that momentum to continue. Consumer in Q1 was due to seasonality, we also expect that consumer to, you know, improve, throughout the year.
Perfect. Jacob, just, I get it.
Anthony.
Yeah.
Tony, the number is, 49% on the consumer, 8% on the automotive and 43% on the enterprise in Q1.
Perfect. Thank you. Related to the memory shortages, I get it. A lot of people are talking about it, thinking it's gonna get worse throughout the remainder of the year. Or I guess the first part of the question is how much of your revenue was affected in Q1 as a result of not being able to ship? Then, Jacob, more longer term picture, when do you think, you know, which quarter? Is it this year? Is it next year when you can get back to that kinda $7 million-$10 million in quarterly revenue on the consumer side?
Yes. Tony, this is Michael. In terms of Q1 impact, we had no revenue impact from the shortages, and we had no gross margin impact from the shortages. In Q2, we are being conservative on the consumer. Typically, you would see that seasonal down in Q1, which we saw, and a rebound in Q2. Right now we are expecting to be relatively flat, and mainly because one specific OEM is being impacted. They believe it's a temporary blip right now, and it'll be worked out by the end of the quarter. Again, we're being conservative on that.
Yes. Regarding your questions about the consumer revenue, certainly as we indicated, the good news is that we always have the stability regarding the MSOs. We are now adding the MNOs. We are now working on two major MNOs in the U.S., so that should help us well-positioned for the rest of the year. Are we able to get to the $7 million-$8 million range like we used to have? We do have the path for that. Now is that gonna be happening this year or next year? We don't know that yet, although it's trending very positively. We mentioned about the design win with the MNO. That should be another part of this year.
Got it. My last question related to Airgain Connect. Are you seeing a speeding up of some of these trials or your ability to convert? It's great to see that tier two energy customer. What's your feel on how quickly you can convert the trials into more side deals?
On the, on the tier one type of customers, we mentioned before 12-18 months of a cycle time, and we are in the cycle time. The good news here is that the pipeline is changing favorably to us, or quarter-over-quarter. For example, we mentioned on the call that we have a current pipeline of over 55 deals in a, in a tier one and tier two customers. At 20% of that is tier one customers. Out of the 20% of that, the vast majority are for non-first responders. They are tend to be moving quicker. However, because those tend to be also strategic type of deals, they also very much have a multi-layered type of meetings, engagements, trials taking place.
We are basically on track to what we had mentioned about the 12-18 month cycle. On the tier two, we just mentioned that we closed a tier two customer. Overall, the velocity of the design wins that we have primarily on the tier three and the tier two so far is accelerating. Last year, we would be closing one deal per month, this year so far, up until May, it's been about two deals per month. I hope this is helpful.
Perfect. You know, very helpful.
Yeah, Tony, I add up, also the tier one opportunity size. The vehicle size is also getting bigger as we go after the non-first responder vehicles. 'Cause a lot of these are large enterprise fleet, so we start to work on 10,000s of vehicles instead of just several 1,000s or several 100s, as in the case of the first responders.
Perfect. Thanks for all the color, guys. Appreciate it.
Sure.
Our next question is from Jaeson Schmidt with Lake Street Capital Markets. Please proceed.
Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. Just looking at Lighthouse and that potential trial here in the U.S. What additional steps, if any, do you guys need to complete to continue to move that forward?
Hi, Jaeson. Yes, Jacob here. Yes, it's actually a really significant milestone. As I was alluding to in the call earlier, is the fact that basically as far as the technology validation, that looks to be already proven with the trial we have done in the corporate office. Now we are working with the business sponsor. Typically they would not work with us to do a business sponsor until they feel really comfortable with the technology validation. That phase is done. We're now working with them on their sales team to identify several potential customers that would be able to really take advantage of our Lighthouse product.
These are customers as we work with this particular MNO, where they actually have to walk away from deals previously due to lack of budget, you know, using existing system. Our solution is giving them a fraction of the cost otherwise. As an example, where they have to have, you know, using a system that's gonna be $4 per sq ft, now we're gonna be able to offer them a fraction of that so we can meet that budget. Those are the customers that they are targeting, and we intend to get one or two of those customers for the live trial, and hopefully in turn become permanent. That's where we're at regarding the progress with this particular MNO.
Now, as you know, dealing with MNO, it takes time, although they're really seeing a unique value with our Lighthouse.
Okay. No, that's good to hear. Looking at the consumer segment, understanding the near term dynamics, but do you guys have confidence that you will see that rebound in Q3, or is it just too early right now?
It's a bit early right now, but let me put it this way, the demand is very healthy, and the demand, what we mentioned before, last quarter, is that we were expecting a modest growth on the consumer market across the year. From a demand standpoint, it's there. It's a question of supply and the timing of it. I should also mention from a consumer business model itself, the way it's being set up and, you know, really is based upon the strong relationship we have with the service providers, the OEMs themselves, the CMs and the distribution channel as well too. That gives us quite a bit of visibility, at least in the short term, about some of the supply management that we have to do.
The other piece also that I should mention is that typically, service providers have 2 or 3 OEMs, and typically we are designed in with two OEMs. If there is any type of supplier allocation being redone, for instance, we're still somewhat covered by it.
Okay. That's helpful. Just the last one from me, and I'll jump back into queue. You're expecting a nice sequential downtick in operating expenses. Is this sort of a level we should feel comfortable with in the back half of the year? How should we be thinking about OpEx?
Yes. I think, first half of the year, I believe, in 2026 is about 9% down compared to the first half of last year. As revenue grows, you would expect a modest uptick on that. Overall, our sense is that we definitely want to make sure that we have a very strong operating leverage so that when the top line grows, and that top line should be having some higher gross margin than the corporate average. As it grows, we really optimize our overall business model and be, really offer some positive and accretive EBITDA margin in the long run.
Okay. Perfect. Thanks a lot, guys.
Thank you.
At this time, this concludes our question and answer session. If your question was not answered, you may contact Airgain's investor relations team at [email protected]. I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Suen for his closing remarks.
Thank you all for your thoughtful questions and for your continued interest in Airgain. If there is one key takeaway, it is that Airgain is a more focused and disciplined company with a stronger foundation and improving operating model and growing platform momentum. We believe the work we have done positions us to drive sustainable growth and improve profitability as we move through 2026 and beyond. We appreciate everyone joining us today and look forward to keeping you updated on our progress. Operator, you may now conclude the call.
Thank you for joining us today for Airgain's first quarter 2026 earnings.

Never miss an important update on your stock portfolio and cut through the noise. Over 7 million investors trust Simply Wall St to stay informed where it matters for FREE. Airgain’s latest analyst update keeps the Fair Value estimate steady at US$6.13 per share, indicating that the core valuation anchor has not shifted. Supportive and cautious voices alike are centering their views around this US$6.13 level, with bullish commentary highlighting earnings potential and more skeptical perspectives focusing on limited near term upside if expectations slip. Read on to see how you can track this evolving narrative and what to watch as new information emerges. Analyst Price Targets don't always capture the full story. Head over to our Company Report to find new ways to value Airgain. Lake Street recently initiated coverage on Airgain with a bullish view, which anchors one side of the debate around the current Fair Value estimate of US$6.13 per share. The firm appears focused on earnings potential, suggesting that, if execution lines up with its thesis, current pricing may already reflect only a portion of what the business could deliver over time. Supportive commentary around the Lake Street call indicates interest in how Airgain can convert its technology and customer relationships into more consistent profitability, a key input into any valuation case. More cautious takes emphasize that even with Lake Street’s constructive stance, the Fair Value marker at US$6.13 implies limited room for error if growth or margins come in below expectations. Skeptical views generally point to execution risk and the possibility that, without clear evidence of stronger earnings, the current valuation anchor could cap near term upside.

(NASDAQ: AIRG), a leading provider of advanced wireless connectivity solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. "Throughout 2025, we made meaningful progress advancing our growth platforms, AirgainConnect and Lighthouse, completing key certifications, expanding customer trials, and strengthening our go-to-market foundation," said Jacob Suen, President and CEO of Airgain.

Airgain Q4 Earnings Call Highlights
Management described 2025 as a transition year toward platform commercialization, advancing AirgainConnect and Lighthouse and growing the AirgainConnect pipeline to about 100 active opportunities (roughly 40 Tier‑1/2) with conversion expected to ramp in 2026. Financially, Q4 non‑GAAP revenue was $12.1 million (at the low end of guidance) and full‑year revenue fell 15% to $51.8 million, though consumer revenue rose 20% to $26.1 million and non‑GAAP gross margin improved to 44.6%; year‑end cash was $7.4 million and Q1 2026 revenue is guided to $10.5–12.5 million. On enterprise/IoT, the company improved Skywire profitability and secured Cat 1 bis design wins in industrial and robotics applications, and completed a strategic acquisition of Nextivity’s HPUE product line (≈$2M revenue last year) to expand its FirstNet/MegaFi 2 offerings. Interested in Airgain, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Airgain (NASDAQ:AIRG) executives used the company’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 earnings call to highlight margin improvements and strategic progress in its connectivity platform initiatives, while acknowledging that fourth-quarter revenue landed at the low end of guidance due to timing and supply factors in its enterprise embedded modem business. President and CEO Jacob Suen described 2025 as “pivotal,” saying the company strengthened the resilience of its existing business, improved margins, and reinforced its financial foundation. He said Airgain expanded its design win pipeline with Tier-1 service providers and advanced two strategic platform efforts: the AirgainConnect vehicle gateway platform and the Lighthouse infrastructure platform. → SoundHound’s New Sales Assist Agent Put Voice AI Back in the Spotlight Suen said the company’s focus heading into 2026 is shifting toward “commercial execution,” aiming to convert a growing pipeline into deployments and scale platform solutions. He also emphasized cost discipline, noting management lowered the company’s break-even point by optimizing the cost structure and concentrating investment on higher-return opportunities. Airgain’s consumer business remained a central theme of the call. Suen reported consumer revenue of $26.1 million for 2025, a 20% increase from 2024, and characterized the segment as a “critical foundation” that provides durable revenue and cash generation. Management attributed performance to th...

Airgain, Inc. Q4 2025 Earnings Call Summary
Management has deliberately shifted the company from a component-level supplier to an integrated connectivity platform provider to capture higher-value opportunities in fleet and infrastructure. The Consumer segment serves as a high-margin, cash-generating foundation, with 20% year-over-year growth driven by the industry-wide transition to Wi-Fi 7 and deeper Tier 1 carrier incumbency. Operational efficiency initiatives in 2025 lowered the corporate breakeven point by reducing core market expenses by 30% while reallocating those resources to growth platforms. The Enterprise IoT business was impacted by excess inventory at a major customer, but management improved segment profitability by focusing on the higher-margin Skywire embedded modem portfolio. Strategic partnerships with system integrators and global tower operators are being utilized to validate the Lighthouse infrastructure platform and accelerate its route to market. The acquisition of the HPUE product line from Nextivity adds field-proven, mission-critical technology to the vehicle gateway portfolio, specifically targeting the first-responder and public safety sectors. Management expects 2026 to be a year of commercial scaling, with revenue growth and margin expansion anticipated in the second half as new design wins enter mass production. The AirgainConnect pipeline has expanded to approximately 100 active opportunities, with a strategic shift toward non-first responder markets like utilities and sanitation which offer shorter sales cycles. Lighthouse infrastructure deployments are expected to contribute meaningfully to revenue in the second half of 2026, particularly through partnerships in the U.S. and Middle East. Guidance for Q1 2026 assumes a 5% sequential revenue decline at the midpoint, primarily attributed to typical seasonal softness in the Consumer segment. Operating expenses are projected to remain flattish through the first half of 2026, with potential increases in the second half contingent upon revenue ramp and platform scaling. The HPUE acquisition is a non-cash, non-equity transaction that is expected to be adjusted EBITDA positive from day one, contributing approximately $0.5 million in quarterly revenue. Excess channel inventory continues to act as a headwind for the aftermarket antenna business, though management expects a return to growth in 2026 driven by the AirgainConnect pl...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Release Date: February 26, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Airgain Inc (NASDAQ:AIRG) strengthened its financial foundation by improving margins and optimizing its cost structure. The company expanded its design win pipeline with tier-one service providers, securing multi-year, multi-million dollar programs. Airgain Inc (NASDAQ:AIRG) made significant progress with its Airgain Connect vehicle gateway platform and Lighthouse infrastructure platform, achieving important technical validations and customer engagements. The consumer business saw a 20% increase in revenue compared to 2024, driven by strong relationships with tier-one cable and mobile network operators. The acquisition of the HPUE product line from Nextivity enhances Airgain Inc (NASDAQ:AIRG)'s vehicle gateway platform, expanding its ability to support mission-critical connectivity applications. Fourth-quarter revenue was at the lower end of guidance due to timing dynamics, not structural demand changes. Enterprise sales declined by 23% year over year, primarily due to excess inventory at a strategic IoT customer. Automotive sales decreased by $6.3 million year over year, reflecting lower demand and excess channel inventory. The aftermarket antenna business continues to be affected by excess channel inventory, creating short-term variability. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025 was negative, reflecting continued investment in platform strategy. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with AIRG. Is AIRG fairly valued?

For the Latin America opportunity, we have a follow-up meeting scheduled at MWC with executives to discuss next steps. (Michael Albaz, CFO) We are not counting on these for FY26 revenues; they are expected to contribute in FY27.
