Current report
Consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026, were $10.6 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 9.8%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was largely due to (i) a decrease personnel costs, (ii) agent commissions and (iii) lower legal and professional fees incurred during the period. Consolidated operating expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, were $35.7 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 1.2% from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to (i) a decrease in research and development costs, primarily personnel costs and project costs and (ii) agent commission.
Current report
In June 2025, we sold our property located at 4318 Northfield Lane in Houston, Texas. The 17.3-acre property served as additional parking for our main campus and contained legacy structures used to support our manufacturing and warehousing operations. We recognized a gain on disposal of property of $4.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. The gain is included as a component of income (loss) from operations.
Current report
At the end of our third quarter of fiscal year 2027, we received a $10.8 million contract to deliver a seismic acoustic detection system to the U.S. Navy. The contract is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2028. Revenue from the contract is expected to be recognized over the duration of the contract.

Previous report
We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet with no debt. Our current liquidity enables our ability to seek out business acquisitions and allows us to continue investments in capital assets and product research and development, which have historically driven revenue growth.
Previous report
Consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $12.1 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.7%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Consolidated operating expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2026, were $25.1 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 2.9% from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase for both periods was primarily due to (i) an increase in sales and marketing costs, (ii) higher professional fees and (iii) severance costs. The increase in operating expenses six months ended March 31, 2026 was partially offset by a decrease in research and development expenses, primarily personnel costs and project expenditures.
Reworded paragraphs (18)
Previous wording
Our Smart Water segment has experienced a decline in sales in fiscal year 2026, however we believe this decline is temporary, largely due to overstocking by our customers in the prior fiscal year. Growing industry acceptance of our water meter cables and connectors provides a strong enabler for additional revenue from our Smart Water segment. Automatic meter reading efficiencies in operations and improved customer service has begun to be understood by the municipalities of the United States. We expect this portion of our business to continue to grow for the foreseeable future. Additionally, we anticipate this segment to see revenue contributions from our Aquana smart water valve and IoT technology products as market traction and increased sales backlog continues to gather. Given the well-known and often extreme volatility experienced in our Energy Solutions segment, careful expansion of products and market diversity in our Smart Water and Intelligent Industrial segments has been a longstanding part of our strategic vision and reflects our on-going diversification efforts.

Previous wording
Consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $19.7 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 9.5%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to higher revenue from our Energy Solutions segment, which included initial revenue of $3.6 million recognized on our PRM contract. The increase was largely offset by lower demand for our Hydroconn® cable and connector products from our Smart Water segment. Furthermore, during the second quarter of the prior fiscal year, we determined the collectability of a receivable from an ocean bottom rental customer was less than probable. As a result of this determination, the rent receivable balance due from this customer of $2.2 million was reversed against rental revenue. As a result of reversal, our consolidated rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was in a negative position ($0.7 million). Consolidated revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2026, was $45.3 million, a decrease of $9.9 million, or 18.0%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease for the six months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to lower demand for our Hydroconn® cable and connector products from our Smart Water segment. The decrease in consolidated revenue was also due to lower revenue from our Energy Solutions segment attributable to a $17 million sale of ocean bottom nodes in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, which was largely offset by an increase in demand for our wireless land-based Pioneer™.
Current wording
Consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $15.8 million, a decrease of $9.0 million, or 36.4%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to lower demand for our Hydroconn® cable and connector products from our Smart Water segment. The decrease was also due to lower revenue from our Energy Solutions segment, primarily due to a sale of our marine recovery device in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was partially offset by revenue recognized on our PRM contract. The decrease for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to lower demand for our Hydroconn® cable and connector products from our Smart Water segment.

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $0.7 million, compared to $1.7 million from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The decrease in gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to (i) a high gross margin on our $17 million sale of ocean bottom nodes in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 and (ii) the decrease in revenue and gross profits from our Smart Water segment. The decrease in gross profit for both three and six months ended March 31, 2026 was also attributable to an increase in tariffs on the raw materials we purchase.
Current wording
Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $0.5 million, compared to $7.5 million from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

Consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, was $3.9 million, compared to $29.4 million from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was also attributable to a high gross profit on the sale of our marine recovery device in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to (i) a high gross margin on our $17 million sale of ocean bottom nodes in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 and (ii) the decrease in revenue and gross profits from our Smart Water segment.

Our available cash and cash equivalents decreased $13 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2026, largely due to the decrease in revenue across all of our segments. At the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 we implemented an organizational change plan, which included a voluntary early retirement plan available to eligible qualifying employees as well as a reduction in force. This plan will result in an approximate 20% reduction our global workforce, and together with cost-containment measures are expected to produce approximately $10 million of annualized cash savings. We anticipate receiving our next installment payment from our PRM customer of approximately $35 million by the end of the calendar year.
