Alarm.com Holdings (ALRM) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.77 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.65 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.6 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +18.46%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this security service company would post earnings of $0.6 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.65, delivering a surprise of +8.33%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times. Alarm.com, which belongs to the Zacks Security and Safety Services industry, posted revenues of $277.73 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.87%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $254.31 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Alarm.com shares have added about 11.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.8%. While Alarm.com has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Alarm.com was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Delivers 900 Basis Point Gross Margin Expansion, Net Loss Cut 51% and $21 to $22 Million Annual Revenue Visibility Turnaround Momentum MCLEAN, Va., May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cycurion, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU) ("Cycurion" or the "Company"), a leader in AI-driven cybersecurity and national security solutions with trusted relationships across the U.S. Government, numerous leading corporations, and high-profile individuals across all industries, announced today results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. "The first quarter of 2026 marks a clear inflection point in our transformation," said Kevin Kelly, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cycurion. "We nearly doubled gross margins, significantly reduced operating expenses and executed binding agreements to acquire Halo Privacy and HavenX, which adds approximately $7 million in annualized contracted revenues at approximately 55% gross margin once the deal closes. Combined with our existing contracted backlog, which we expect to deliver approximately $15 million to $17 million in annual revenue, the addition of Halo Privacy and HavenX will increase our contracted backlog we estimate to convert to revenue in a one year period to approximately $21 million to $22 million. We are executing with discipline - exiting lower margin legacy work, reducing costs and reinvesting in our AI-driven platforms. I am confident in our path to profitability and long-term shareholder value." Highlights of First Quarter 2026 as Compared to Fourth Quarter 2025 Revenue of $3.3 million, which reflects the planned wind-down of certain legacy contracts ahead of the ramp of higher-margin replacement work. Gross margin expanded 900 basis points to 21.1% from 12.1%, nearly doubling as a result of a deliberate shift to higher-margin contracts and disciplined cost management. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.3 million, or 31.6%, to $2.7 million. Net loss improved 51.5% to $2.6 million from $5.3 million. EBITDA loss improved 60.2% to $1.9 million from $4.9 million. Strategic and Operational Momentum Halo Privacy and HavenX Acquisition (Binding Agreement May 2026): Adds approximately $7 million in estimated annualized contracted revenue with a gross margin of approximately 55%. Brings industry-leading secure communications technology (including the Halo Link app) and elite digital investigations/attribution capabilities (HavenX), expanding Cycurion's presence in high-growth markets. Robust Contract Backlog: Consistent with prior disclosures, the Company's $112 million contracted backlog is expected to realize approximately $15 million – $17 million over the next twelve months, which the addition of Halo Privacy and HavenX upon closing, this expectation increases to approximately $21 million – $22 million over a one year period. Cost Reduction Initiatives: Organizational realignment on track to generate over $2.2 million in annualized savings, with meaningful benefits already reflected in first quarter of 2026 selling, general and administrative expenses. Acquisition Pipeline: Continued advancement of the revised Memorandum of Understanding to acquire Kustom Entertainment's Legacy Video Solutions segment (expected to add approximately $5.1 million in annual revenue and approximately $8 million in contracted backlog).

MCLEAN, Va., April 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cycurion, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYCU) (“Cycurion” or the “Company”), a trusted leader in IT cybersecurity and AI-driven solutions, today reports financial results for full year ended December 31, 2025 and provides a corporate update. 2025 – Year of Structural Transformation Recap: Following Cycurion’s public debut in February 2025, the Company navigated a challenging year characterized by curtailed government contract spending and delays in contract starts due to the 2025 federal government shutdown and DOGE efficiency initiatives, while successfully executing a comprehensive recapitalization and strategic repositioning to support long-term scaling Deleveraged Balance Sheet: Reduced net debt by over 70%, ending the year at just under $3 million compared to $10.5 million at year-end 2024 Improved Liquidity: Over $5 million of cash at December 31, 2025 Capital Structure Optimization: Streamlined the preferred capital stack, leaving just over 400,000 convertible shares outstanding Operational Efficiency: Implemented $2.2 million in annualized cost-savings initiatives in early 2026 to align the Company’s cost structure with the current operating environment FY2025 Financial Summary Revenue: $15.1 million in FY2025, compared to $17.8 million in FY2024. Management attributes part of the year-over-year decline to contract timing delays resulting from the 2025 federal government shutdown and associated DOGE efficiency reviews; these headwinds are viewed as transitory. Management views 2025 headwinds as transitory with a positive outlook underpinned by its $112 million contracted backlog with a ~4-year weighted average life. Gross Profit: $1.6 million for FY2025 vs $3.6 million in FY2024. In support of its strategy to shift toward higher-margin recurring revenue, Cycurion increased investments in AI-enhanced technology and its ARx platform during 2025. Cycurion anticipates margin expansion in 2026 driven by a transition toward a higher-margin recurring revenue sales mix. Operating Expenses: $25.0 million, heavily impacted by $16.8 million in non-cash or non-recurring charges $11.9 million in Business Combination expense $3.9 million in Stock-Based Compensation expense ~$1.0 million in one-time SG&A expenses Net Income/(Loss): $(23.7) million in FY 2025, compared to $1.2 million in FY2024 Management Commentary "2025 was a pivotal year for Cycurion as we became a public company in what was a generationally challenging year in government contracting,” said Kevin Kelly, CEO of Cycurion. “While contending with business headwinds in 2025 — including contract delays stemming from the 2025 federal government shutdown and DOGE efficiency initiatives — we successfully strengthened our balance sheet and enhanced liquidity to better position the Company for its next phase of growth. Earlier this year, we also implemented meaningful cost savings initiatives aimed at streamlining operational expenses. While maintaining cost discipline, we also accelerated targeted investments in AI-based technology to drive higher-margin recurring revenue from managed cybersecurity services and our ARx platform. With the addition of our new Chief Revenue Officer and an expanded sales force, our deal funnel focused on growing our higher-margin recurring revenue managed service and cybersecurity offerings remains robust. We expect to see a pick-up in revenue in the second half of 2026 as we begin to realize incremental revenue from contracts currently within our $112 million backlog going live. We also anticipate continuing to grow backlog as we convert our sales funnel to signed awards along with contribution from our recently announced acquisition expected to close in the second quarter."

Strategic Investments in People and Technology Drive Sustained Growth, $80M+ Contract Backlog, and Expanding Pipeline MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cycurion, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU) (“Cycurion” or the “Company”), a leader in identity-centric cybersecurity solutions and AI-powered IT infrastructure, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, alongside continued revenue acceleration into the fourth quarter of 2025. Cycurion has strategically invested in high-caliber talent and technology and its strategy is delivering compounding returns with a contract backlog exceeding $80 million, a new data modernization contract for SLG Innovation, Inc. ("SLG") and a forecasted first quarter of 2026 run-rate revenue of $4.2 million. “The third quarter of 2025 marked a pivotal integration phase, where our investments in talent, AI innovation and technology have expanded margins, unlocked over $80 million in contract backlog and set the stage for revenue inflection in the fourth quarter and beyond,” said Kevin Kelly, Cycurion, Inc. CEO and Chairman. “With cash at $3.7 million, a strengthened balance sheet, and partnerships with three Fortune 500 companies that have gained traction, we’re accelerating toward sustainable profitability and leadership in identity-centric cybersecurity. Additionally, we firmly believe our current market capitalization of approximately $9.5 million does not reflect the intrinsic value of our $80 million-plus multi-year contract backlog, growing recurring revenue, strategic government contracts, and the transformative potential of our AI-driven cybersecurity platform.” Full details are available in Cycurion’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investments in People and Technology: Front-Loading for Long-Term Profitability Over the past 18 months, including the third quarter of 2025, Cycurion has prioritized strategic hires in executive leadership, federal capture teams, cybersecurity engineers, threat researchers, and go-to-market specialists. These investments, contributing to elevated Operating Expenses of $19.58 million for the first nine months of 2025 (including $11.24 million in non-recurring business combination expenses and $3.09 million in stock-based compensation), have directly fueled a shift toward higher-margin government contracts. The result is a robust $80+ million contract backlog, representing multi-year recurring revenue with agencies like Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Defense, and state/local governments, thus demonstrating the Company's IDIQ expansions. Simultaneously, the Company has accelerated research and development into AI-driven identity threat detection, response platforms, and proprietary software (capitalized at $4.42 million as of the end of the third quarter 2025), which the Company is engaging a third party to provide a valuation of our proprietary software. These efforts are now translating into top-line momentum, with gross profit margins expected to expand as utilization scales and integrations mature. Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights (Unaudited) Revenue: $3.83 million for third quarter 2025 (down 13.9% YoY from $4.45 million), and $11.59 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (down 15.4% YoY from $13.69 million), reflecting a deliberate pivot to more profitable SLED contracts amid merger-related disruptions. Gross Profit: $0.27 million for the third quarter 2025 (7.1% margin), and $1.18 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (10.2% margin). Net Loss: $3.24 million attributable to Cycurion for the third quarter 2025 ($1.59 loss per basic share); $18.78 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 ($14.82 loss per basic share), driven by one-time merger related costs of becoming public and integration costs, partially mitigated by a $1.25 million gain on debt settlements. Balance Sheet Strength: Total assets grew 26.4% to $32.31 million, with cash increasing significantly to $3.65 million (from $0.04 million at year-end 2024). Goodwill expanded 216.2% to $20.84 million due to SLG synergies; stockholders’ equity rose 344.4% to $15.41 million. Cash Flows: Net financing inflow of $10.78 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (capital raises of $5.87 million and warrant exercises of $3.66 million) enabling $8.77 million operating cash outflow, positioning the Company for growth execution.

IQSTEL Reports $12.23 in Assets per Share and $4.66 in Equity per Share, Reinforcing One of the Strongest Balance Sheets Among Emerging Tech Corporations on NASDAQ — Company Plans to Distribute a $500,000 Dividend in Shares by December 31, 2025 NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST), a Global Connectivity, AI, and Digital Corporation, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, delivering record revenue growth, solid profitability metrics, and further strengthening its balance sheet as it continues executing its expansion strategy.

The company maintains a strong balance sheet with no dilutive debt, no convertible notes, and no warrants outstanding. Q3 2025 Strategic Highlights Acquisition of Globetopper (51% Ownership): Strengthens IQSTEL's global footprint and establishes a revenue mix of approximately 80% Telecom and 20% Fintech, enhancing diversification and profitability. Debt-Free Status: IQSTEL confirms it is a dilutive debt-free company, with no convertible notes and no warrants outstanding, providing shareholders with a clean, efficient capital structure. Partnership with Cycurion (NASDAQ: CYCU): IQSTEL and Cycurion agreed to exchange $1 million in shares, forming a sibling-company alliance to develop next-generation AI-driven cybersecurity solutions. Both companies will distribute $500,000 in shares as dividends to their shareholders before December 31, 2025. Thanks to this strategic partnership, IQSTEL is adding Cybersecurity services to its expanding portfolio, reinforcing its position as a Global Connectivity, AI, and Digital Services Corporation. AI-Powered Call Center Services Launched: IQSTEL successfully launched its AI-driven Call Center Services – www.contactcenter.iqstel.com – powered by its proprietary AI engine IQ2Call.ai, developed internally by the company's AI division. Strategic Vision: Building a Global Connectivity, AI & Digital Services Corporation IQSTEL's long-term strategy is to be recognized as a Global Connectivity, AI, and Digital Services Corporation. With a presence in 21 countries, the company has built a solid business platform, selling hundreds of millions of dollars in services to over 600 of the largest telecom operators around the world. IQSTEL is now leveraging this global business platform to expand into high-tech, high-margin verticals — including Fintech, Artificial Intelligence, and Cybersecurity. The trust, relationships, and infrastructure IQSTEL has built are difficult to replicate, giving the company a powerful competitive advantage to continue scaling profitably. CEO Commentary "Our third quarter results highlight not only our consistent growth but the strength of the company's fundamentals," said Leandro Iglesias, CEO of IQSTEL. "With $12.23 in assets per share and $4.66 in equity per share, IQSTEL is financially stronger than ever. We remain deeply committed to increasing shareholder value through profitable growth, innovation, and disciplined execution." Our business model is proven. Our operating businesses have generated positive adjusted EBITDA and positive net income for several quarters in a row, demonstrating sustained operational profitability. While our rapid expansion required financing that temporarily affected consolidated results, these costs have been amortized in a short period. Having reached critical mass, IQSTEL's bottom line is now beginning to accelerate — and investors should expect this profitability trend to strengthen in the coming quarters. Iglesias added: "After becoming a dilutive debt-free company and achieving record revenue growth, IQSTEL is now in the best business and corporate shape in its history to reach our $15 million EBITDA target in 2026. We are building the foundation for a billion-dollar global corporation — one quarter at a time." Looking Ahead IQSTEL remains fully on track to achieve its 2025 revenue forecast of $340 million and has already announced an organic revenue forecast of $430 million for 2026, representing 26% year-over-year organic growth. With a revenue run rate above $400 million, zero dilutive debt, and a solid equity position, IQSTEL continues its transformation into one of the fastest-growing technology corporations listed on Nasdaq — combining Connectivity, AI, Fintech, and Cybersecurity into one powerful global platform. Thanks to its strong balance sheet, explosive revenue growth, and its strategic position in both the telecommunications and technology markets, IQSTEL could become an attractive acquisition target for larger industry players seeking expansion in high-growth digital and AI-driven sectors. About IQSTEL Inc. IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST) is a Global Connectivity, AI, and Digital Corporation providing advanced solutions across Telecom, High-Tech Telecom Services, Fintech, AI-Powered Telecom Platforms, and Cybersecurity. With operations in 21 countries and a team of 100 employees, IQSTEL serves a broad global customer base with high-value, high-margin services. Backed by a strong and scalable business platform, the company is forecasting $340 million in revenue for FY-2025, reinforcing its trajectory toward becoming a $1 billion tech-driven enterprise by 2027. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: The Company uses certain financial calculations such as Adjusted EBITDA, Return on Assets and Return on Equity as factors in the measurement and evaluation of the Company's operating performance and period-over-period growth. The Company derives these financial calculations on the basis of methodologies other than generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), primarily by excluding from a comparable GAAP measure certain items the Company does not consider to be representative of its actual operating performance. These financial calculations are "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined under the SEC rules. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in operating its business because management believes they are less susceptible to variances in actual operating performance that can result from the excluded items, other infrequent charges and currency fluctuations. The Company presents these financial measures to investors because management believes they are useful to investors in evaluating the primary factors that drive the Company's core operating performance and provide greater transparency into the Company's results of operations. However, items that are excluded and other adjustments and assumptions that are made in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company's financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, the Company's GAAP financial measures. Further, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP, and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, the non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized accounting measurement under GAAP; it should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as a measure of operating results, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. It is presented here not as an alternative to net income, but rather as a measure of the Company's operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes, in addition to non-operational expenses like interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization; items that we believe are not indicative of our operating performance, such as: Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities: These adjustments reflect unrealized gains or losses that are non-operational and subject to market volatility. Loss on Settlement of Debt: This represents non-recurring expenses associated with specific financing activities and does not impact ongoing business operations. Stock-Based Compensation: As a non-cash expense, this adjustment eliminates variability caused by equity-based incentives. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA offers a clearer view of the cash-generating potential of its business, excluding non-recurring, non-cash, and non-operational impacts. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating the Company's operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry because the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes, non-cash and certain other items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance and also believes this information is useful to investors. Safe Harbor Statement: Statements in this news release may be "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions, or any other information relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend", "could" and similar expressions, as they relate to the company or its management, identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our business based partly on assumptions made by management. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: our ability to successfully market our products and services; our continued ability to pay operating costs and ability to meet demand for our products and services; the amount and nature of competition from other telecom products and services; the effects of changes in the cybersecurity and telecom markets; our ability to successfully develop new products and services; our ability to complete complementary acquisitions and dispositions that benefit our company; our success establishing and maintaining collaborative, strategic alliance agreements with our industry partners; our ability to comply with applicable regulations; our ability to secure capital when needed; and the other risks and uncertainties described in our prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may and are likely to differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this news release, and IQSTEL Inc. undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news release.

The Company’s quarterly results reflect a GAAP net loss of $0.15 per share, however, after adjusting for multiple unusual, non-recurring expenses our adjusted net loss is approximately $0.04 per share, providing a clearer view of the company’s underlying performance. These items include: Merger Expenses: Incurred $677,000 in costs related to merger activities during the second quarter Compensation Expenses: Recorded $1 million in compensation due to consulting costs associated with integration efforts Stock Compensation: Issued $1 million in stock compensation to former directors as part of transitional arrangements Preferred Stock Conversions: Recognized $900,000 in expenses from conversions to Series G Convertible Preferred Stock Integration Costs: Faced additional operational expenses from integrating SLG Innovation Inc., which were previously separate, contributing to elevated short-term costs Cycurion also successfully converted $3.5 million from debt to equity in the second quarter, improving its financial position and reducing future interest obligations Outside of the second quarter of 2025 results, Cycurion has made significant strides in recent months, securing high-value contracts and positioning itself for long-term growth as a leading AI-focused cybersecurity company. In June 2025, Cycurion announced over $8 million in new contracts with government and commercial clients, including a $6 million agreement with a major municipal transportation agency for comprehensive IT and cybersecurity solutions. Additionally, a $33 million contract renewal was secured with a major state-level public higher education group, extending through November 2030, and a $22 million multi-year contract was awarded by a U.S. state police agency in partnership with Journal Technologies. The company also secured three multi-year contracts worth up to $6 million across program management, cybersecurity, and disaster recovery services. These contracts, totaling over $69 million in recent awards, reflect strong market demand for Cycurion’s innovative solutions. By investing in its AI-driven ARx platform and Cyber Shield offerings, Cycurion is capitalizing on higher-margin opportunities in the cybersecurity sector. The Company is committed to shareholder value and has a backlog of 18 months of scopes of work, which is beginning to net results, further strengthening its revenue pipeline. Continued expansion into new client relationships and strategic partnerships, such as those with NACCHO, LSV-TECH S.A.S., and iQSTEL Inc., solidifies the Company’s market presence and sets a foundation for sustainable revenue growth.
