Ocean Power Technologies, Inc.

The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2025 and set forth below in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These risk factors describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 24, 2025.

Our ability to adopt and use artificial intelligence could have a material impact on our business.

The development, adoption and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies are rapidly transforming our industry, enabling faster data analysis and automation through machine learning and predictive modeling. Many of our competitors are investing heavily in AI-driven capabilities to enhance customer acquisition, personalization, pricing optimization, supply chain efficiency, product development, and marketing effectiveness. If we are unable to adopt and deploy AI effectively as quickly as our competitors, it may cause us to be relatively less productive or innovative, adversely impacting our competitiveness, our ability to effectively execute our strategic transformation and requiring additional investments that increase our costs. Laws and regulations regarding AI are rapidly evolving as well, including in the areas of data privacy, cybersecurity, intellectual property, and data protections. Compliance with new or changing laws, regulations, or industry standards relating to AI may impose significant operational and financial burdens and may limit our ability to develop, deploy, or use AI in our business.

There are doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our current cash balance may not be sufficient to fund our planned expenditures through twelve months from the filing date of this Form 10-Q. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes we are a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from any uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources, such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations, or to raise capital from external sources would have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

Delays or difficulties in converting backlog into revenue could adversely affect our results of operations.

As of January 31, 2026, our backlog was $19.9 million, a significant increase compared to the prior year. While backlog represents business under contract that we expect to recognize as revenue, the timing of conversion is uncertain and may be delayed due to changes in customer schedules, contract modifications, regulatory approvals, or other factors beyond our control. If we are unable to convert backlog into revenue as anticipated, our results of operations and cash flows could be negatively affected.
