In the automotive market, our products are deployed in a wide range of vehicles in the fleet and aftermarket applications, supporting a variety of technologies that include 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi, LPWAN, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and Bluetooth. Fleet and aftermarket products in the automotive market typically consist of applications where vehicular wireless routers are paired with external antenna systems to provide connectivity to mobile assets. In the third quarter of 2024, we completed the first commercial deployment of our second generation AirgainConnect® Fleet (AC-Fleet) system solution – a low profile, roof-mounted, all-in-one 5G vehicle gateway that provides 4G/5G cellular connectivity with built-in multi-profile eSIM, GNSS, Wi-Fi, and gigabit Ethernet router functionalities. We also offer a full line of external fleet antennas that are designed to be rugged, reliable, and flexible to meet almost any need. We design our products for performance, quality, and long product life, and our antennas connect to almost any vehicular router or modem. These antennas include high-performance and low-profile versions that mount on the roof, trunk, windshield, or dashboard and are optimized for 5G, 4G, Wi-Fi, and GNSS. On February 20, 2026, we acquired substantially all of the assets of the high-power user equipment (HPUE) product business from Nextivity. HPUE revenues are included in the automotive market.

Macroeconomic conditions have continued to create demand softness and supply chain constraints in certain markets. Our sales declined by 4.2% compared with same period last year, as we experienced a demand softness in our existing automotive and enterprise markets, combined with excess inventories in our channels and direct customers. While we are experiencing demand growth with our consumer customers and enterprise IoT, we anticipate that the inventory surplus some of our automotive customers have may extend into the second half of 2026. We remain focused on the execution and commercialization of our strategic product initiatives, specifically design wins and revenue ramps of our AirgainConnect and Lighthouse platforms, which lay the foundation for our pursuit of revenue and profitability growth.
