•Consolidated net sales were $106.8 million, compared to $126.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025; as anticipated, the decline in net sales in the Satellite and Space Communications (“S&S”) segment primarily reflects the decision to phase out and eliminate certain low margin and working capital intensive revenues as well as the impact of the recent U.S. government shutdown. Examples include contracts for services, including the Very Small Aperture Terminal (“VSAT”) Satellite Systems and Services Contract and the Global Field Service Representative (“GFSR”) contract, as well as legacy troposcatter related products and services; Allerium reported higher net sales in all three of its product areas compared to the prior year period;

As previously disclosed, in March 2024, Comtech terminated Ken Peterman, its President and CEO at the time, for Cause. Also, as previously disclosed, Mr. Peterman filed a claim against the Company with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) claiming he was owed direct contractual damages in excess of $6 million and consequential damages in excess of $35 million. Comtech has defended itself against Mr. Peterman's claims and filed counterclaims against Mr. Peterman seeking damages for breach of fiduciary duty, malicious prosecution, abuse of process, breach of contract and defamation. In January 2026, Mr. Peterman's counsel wrote to the AAA with two motions, (i) voluntarily withdrawing Mr. Peterman's claims against Comtech, and (ii) seeking dismissal of Comtech's counterclaims against Mr. Peterman. In January 2026, the AAA granted Mr. Peterman’s motion to withdraw all of his claims against Comtech in the arbitration, but rejected Mr. Peterman's motion for dismissal of Comtech's counterclaims. Comtech’s counterclaims are still pending against Mr. Peterman.

Current report
Net sales in our Satellite and Space Communications segment were $50.6 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to $73.7 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025, a decrease of $23.1 million, or 31.3%. As anticipated, the decline in net sales in the S&S segment primarily reflects the decision to phase out and eliminate certain low margin and capital intensive revenues as well as the impact of the recent U.S. government shutdown. Examples include contracts for services, including the Very Small Aperture Terminal (“VSAT”) Satellite Systems and Services Contract and the Global Field Service Representative (“GFSR”) contract, as well as legacy troposcatter related products and services. As part of this repositioning, S&S is pursuing sales of innovative, higher-margin solutions such as digital common ground modems, network solutions and rapidly deployable multi-path radios ("MPRs"). This segment represented 47.4% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to 58.2% for the three months ended January 31, 2025. Our book-to-bill ratio (a measure defined as bookings divided by net sales) in this segment for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 was 0.68x and 0.64x, respectively, and reflects the aforementioned decision to phase out and eliminate certain low margin revenues, as well as order delays related to the recent U.S. government shutdown.
Current report
Net sales in our Allerium segment were $56.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to $52.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025, an increase of $3.3 million, or 6.2%. Net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2026 reflect higher net sales in all three product areas (location-based, next-generation 911 ("NG-911") and call handling solutions). This segment represented 52.6% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to 41.8% for the three months ended January 31, 2025. Our book-to-bill ratio in this segment for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 was 2.51x and 0.61x, respectively, and includes over $107.0 million of incremental funding toward a multi-year contract extension, valued in excess of $130.0 million, by Allerium’s largest customer, a leading telecommunications company in the U.S.
Current report
During the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, we incurred $1.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of restructuring costs primarily to streamline our operations and improve efficiency (including costs related to legal and professional fees associated with our pursuit of strategic alternatives, the wind down of our steerable antenna product line in the U.K. initiated in our fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and severance costs). Excluding restructuring costs, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 would have been $26.1 million, or 24.4%, and $30.4 million, or 24.0%, respectively, of consolidated net sales. The decrease in our selling, general and administrative expenses, in dollars, excluding such items, is primarily due to cost reduction actions within our Unallocated segment. The increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of consolidated net sales, excluding such items is primarily due to lower consolidated net sales.
Current report
Research and Development Expenses. Company-funded research and development expenses were $4.4 million for both the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, company-funded research and development expenses were 4.1% and 3.4% for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Current report
For the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, company-funded research and development expenses of $1.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to our Satellite and Space Communications segment, and $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, related to our Allerium segment. The remaining company-funded research and development expenses in each period related to the amortization of stock-based compensation expense.
Current report
CEO Transition Costs. During the three months ended January 31, 2026, we recorded a $0.3 million net expense associated with our CEO transition-related activities, as compared to a net benefit of $0.3 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025. Such Unallocated activities in both periods consisted primarily of net legal costs related to a former CEO and expense related to a sign-on bonus for our current CEO, and severance costs related to a former CEO in the prior year period. See Part I. - Financial Information - Item 1. - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note (19) – Legal Proceedings and Other Matters of this Form 10-Q for information regarding legal proceedings and other matters.
Current report
Operating Income (Loss). Operating loss for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 was $1.2 million and $10.3 million, respectively. Operating income (loss) by reportable segment is shown in the table below:
Current report
Our GAAP operating loss of $10.3 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025 reflects: (i) $5.0 million of amortization of intangibles; (ii) $3.4 million of restructuring costs (of which $1.4 million and $2.0 million related to our Satellite and Space Communications and Unallocated segments, respectively); (iii) $1.2 million of amortization of stock-based compensation; (iv) $1.1 million of proxy solicitation costs; and (v) $0.3 million benefit related to CEO transition activities, as discussed above. Excluding such items, our consolidated operating income for the three months ended January 31, 2025 would have been $0.1 million, or 0.1% of consolidated net sales.
Current report
The increase in our Satellite and Space Communications segment operating income, both in dollars and as a percentage of segment net sales, primarily reflects lower selling, general and administrative expenses (due to cost reduction actions), partially offset by lower net sales and gross profit, in dollars, and higher research and development expenses, as discussed above.
Current report
The increase in our Allerium segment operating income, both in dollars and as a percentage of segment net sales, primarily reflects higher net sales and gross profit, both in dollars and as a percentage of segment net sales, and lower research and development expenses, as discussed above, offset in part by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
Current report
Interest Expense and Other. Interest expense was $11.2 million and $11.0 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. While total interest expense was generally consistent from period to period, the more recent period reflects a shift from cash interest associated with our Credit Facility to accretion of make-whole adjustments and paid in kind interest associated with our Subordinated Credit Facility. Our effective interest rate in the more recent period was approximately 18.0%, as compared to 19.0% in the prior year period. Our current cash borrowing rate under our Credit Facility is approximately 13.9%, as compared to 14.2% in the corresponding prior year period.
Current report
Provision for (benefit from) Income Taxes. For the three months ended January 31, 2026, we recorded a nominal tax expense, as compared to a $1.0 million tax benefit for the three months ended January 31, 2025. Our effective tax rate (excluding discrete tax items) for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 was (2.8)% and (1.7)%, respectively. The change in rate is primarily due to changes in expected product and geographic mix.
Current report
During the three months ended January 31, 2026, we recorded a net discrete tax benefit of $0.3 million primarily due to higher actual deductions taken related to certain expenses associated with our Canadian operations, offset in part by interest expense accrued on unrecognized tax benefits. During the three months ended January 31, 2025, we recorded a net discrete tax benefit of $0.1 million which was primarily related to the settlement of stock-based awards.
Current report
Our U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal 2022 through 2025 are subject to Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audit, including our fiscal 2023 income tax return which was recently selected by the IRS for examination. None of our state income tax returns prior to fiscal 2021 are subject to audit. Future tax assessments or settlements could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Current report
Net Sales. Consolidated net sales were $217.8 million and $242.4 million for the six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing a decrease of $24.6 million, or 10.1%. The period-over-period decrease reflects lower net sales in our Satellite and Space Communications segment, offset in part by higher net sales in our Allerium segment, as further discussed below.
Current report
Net sales in our Satellite and Space Communications segment were $105.7 million for the six months ended January 31, 2026 as compared to $132.7 million for the six months ended January 31, 2025, a decrease of $27.0 million, or 20.3%. As anticipated, the decline in net sales in the S&S segment primarily reflects the decision to phase out and eliminate certain low margin and capital intensive revenues as well as the impact of the recent U.S. government shutdown. Examples include contracts for services, including the Very Small Aperture Terminal (“VSAT”) Satellite Systems and Services Contract and the Global Field Service Representative (“GFSR”) contract, as well as legacy troposcatter related products and services. As part of this repositioning, S&S is pursuing sales of innovative, higher-margin solutions such as digital common ground modems, network solutions and rapidly deployable multi-path radios ("MPRs"). Our Satellite and Space Communications segment represented 48.5% of consolidated net sales for the six months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to 54.7% for the six months ended January 31, 2025. Our book-to-bill ratio (a measure defined as bookings divided by net sales) in this segment for the six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 was 0.73x and 0.80x, respectively, and reflects the aforementioned decision to phase out and eliminate certain low margin revenues, as well as order delays related to the recent U.S. government shutdown.
Current report
Net sales in our Allerium segment were $112.1 million for the six months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to $109.7 million for the six months ended January 31, 2025, an increase of $2.4 million, or 2.2%. Segment net sales for the six months ended January 31, 2026 primarily reflect higher net sales of location-based and NG-911 solutions, offset in part by lower sales of call handling solutions. Our Allerium segment represented 51.5% of consolidated net sales for the six months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to 45.3% for the six months ended January 31, 2025. Our book-to-bill ratio in this segment for the six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 was 1.79x and 0.92x, respectively, and includes funding toward a multi-year contract extension, valued in excess of $130.0 million, by Allerium’s largest customer, a leading telecommunications company in the U.S.

Additionally, as of January 31, 2026, net intangibles recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet aggregated $163.0 million (of which $38.3 million relates to our Satellite and Space Communications segment and $124.7 million relates to our Allerium segment). For purposes of reviewing impairment and the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets, our segments each constitute a reporting unit and we must make various assumptions in determining their estimated fair values. See Part I. - Financial Information - Item 1. - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note (15) - Long-lived Assets, including Goodwillfor further information. Ongoing and future actions supporting our transformation plan could result in a material impairment of our goodwill and/or intangible assets.

Capitalized Engineering Costs. We generally expense all research and development costs. Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation expense, and other personnel-related expenses associated with product development. Research and development expenses also include third-party development and programming costs. Costs incurred internally in researching and developing software to be sold are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the software. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. Technological feasibility for our advanced communication software solutions is generally reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved through coding and testing. Generally, this occurs shortly before the products are released to customers and when we are able to validate the marketability of such product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. To date, costs capitalized related to software developed for the purpose of selling to third parties was not material, but could increase in the future.

As it relates to software developed for the purpose of internal-use (e.g., hosted "SaaS" applications within our Allerium segment), costs capitalized primarily consist of direct labor and third-party vendor costs associated with creating the software. Software development projects generally include three stages: the preliminary project stage (all costs are expensed as incurred), the application development stage (certain costs are capitalized and certain costs are expensed as incurred) and the post-implementation/operation stage (all costs are expensed as incurred). Costs capitalized in the application development stage include costs related to the design and implementation of the selected software components, software build and configuration infrastructure, and software interfaces. Capitalization of costs requires judgment in determining when a project has reached the application development stage, the proportion of time spent in the application development stage, and the period over which we expect to benefit from the use of that software. For the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, internal-use software costs capitalized were $1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Capitalized internal use software costs are amortized once the software is placed in service on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three years.

Derivative Instruments and Warrant Liabilities. We evaluate our financial instruments, including our Credit Facility, Subordinated Credit Facility, Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to issue our common stock pursuant to the terms of such instruments, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Such evaluation considers a qualitative and quantitative assessment of whether the host instrument is more debt or equity-like, and if embedded derivatives should be bifurcated from the host instrument and/or combined for accounting purposes. For derivatives that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative is initially recorded at its estimated fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in its estimated fair value reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. To estimate such fair values, with the assistance of a third party valuation expert, we primarily use Monte Carlo simulation models, on a with and without basis, or Black-Scholes option pricing models, each adjusted for instrument-specific terms. Due to the nature of our derivative instruments and warrant liabilities, we must use Level 3 inputs for estimating fair value, which are unobservable inputs developed using the best available information under the circumstances. Level 3 inputs are supported by little or no market activity, are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities and reflect our assumptions related to how market participants would use similar inputs to price the asset or liability. Accordingly, our estimates and assumptions could prove to be inaccurate. Also, changes in such estimates and assumptions from period to period could be material to our results of operations and financial condition. See Part I. - Financial Information - Item 1. - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note (4) - Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments for further information.

In December 2024, we received notice from our prime contractor to stop work associated with a legacy U.S. Marine Corps contract. Such contract was subsequently terminated. We initiated litigation against the prime contractor in order to enforce our rights. As of July 31, 2025, $15.7 million of total receivables related to our contract remained outstanding. After the filing of our Form 10-K on November 10, 2025, we entered into discussions with our prime contractor to explore a comprehensive settlement of our pending litigation. Based on the status of such discussions as of the issuance date of our first quarter fiscal 2026 financial statements, and considering actions identified to further mitigate cost to both our prime contractor and the U.S. Marine Corps, we reduced cumulative net sales and receivables related to this contract in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 by $1.8 million. After taking into account these adjustments to our GAAP results and $0.2 million of cash collections during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, total receivables related to our contract were $13.7 million as of October 31, 2025. To date, no settlement has been reached with our prime contractor and the litigation between the parties remains pending in the courts. While we believe that we have meritorious claims, some or all of our receivables could be at risk of not being collected. Future results of operations related to our troposcatter solutions product line depend, in part, on the nature, timing and amount associated with resolving this matter.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2026 AND 2025
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Bookings, sales and profitability in both segments can fluctuate from period-to-period due to many factors, including unpredictable funding, deployment and technology decisions by our customers and changes in the general business environment. Period-to-period fluctuations in bookings are normal for our segments. As such, period-to-period comparisons of our results may not be indicative of a trend or future performance. Also, we announced that we are exploring strategic alternatives for our businesses. Accordingly, future results of operations can be impacted by the timing and outcome of such initiatives. There can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in a transaction or other strategic changes or outcomes.
