Revenues were up in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 for customers in the medical and automotive markets and for customers of our standard products, and were down for customers in the industrial market. The increase in revenue from customers in the medical market was due to increased shipments of our force-sensing products and of our Calman subsidiary’s printed electronics due to higher customer demand, while the increase in revenue from customers in the automotive market was due to new innovation and automation products for that market. The decrease in revenue from customers in the industrial market was due to reduced shipments and lower demand for our gas-sensing products. In all markets, the timing of orders from our customers is not always predictable and can be less in some periods and higher in others depending on the level of their demand which is driven by their projects and operating plans.
