Q1 2026 earnings summary12 May, 2026

Executive summary

  • Submitted De Novo application to FDA in June 2025, with active dialogue and anticipated response by end of Q2 2026, aiming for DeepView system commercialization by end of 2026.

  • Secured $31.7 million in advanced BARDA funding in March 2026, accelerating development and procurement of up to 30 DeepView devices for clinical use.

  • Expanded leadership team with a new CFO and ongoing search for a Chief Commercial Officer; engaged Deloitte Consulting to finalize commercialization strategy.

  • Delivered a prototype handheld device to MTEC as part of a Department of Defense contract, with potential for phase III contract and 510(k) approval.

  • Showcased DeepView system at the American Burn Association meeting, generating strong clinician interest and a waitlist for installations.

Financial highlights

  • Q1 2026 R&D revenue was $4 million, down from $6.7 million year-over-year due to completion of the base phase of the BARDA contract.

  • Gross margin improved by 360 basis points to 50.8% in Q1 2026, driven by higher direct labor concentration.

  • General and administrative expenses slightly decreased to $4.0 million from $4.1 million year-over-year.

  • Net loss for Q1 2026 was $3.4 million ($0.11 per diluted share), compared to net income of $2.9 million ($0.11 per diluted share) in the prior year, mainly due to non-cash warrant liability adjustments.

  • Cash balance as of March 31, 2026, was $11.7 million, down from $15.4 million at year-end 2025; total debt was $8.5 million.

Outlook and guidance

  • Reiterated 2026 revenue guidance of approximately $18.5 million, including accelerated BARDA funding, with no significant DeepView system sales expected in 2026.

  • Most of the $31.7 million BARDA funding expected to be recognized in 2027, with some in 2026 and a small portion in 2028.

  • Initial international sales targeted for late 2026, pending expanded UKCA labeling and FDA clearance.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
