Siebert Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

MIAMI and NEW YORK, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Siebert Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: SIEB) (“Siebert”), a diversified provider of financial services, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Financial and Operational Highlights

  • Total revenue was $23.5 million for the first quarter of 2026.
  • Stock borrow/stock loan revenue increased 41% to $6.8 million, compared to $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2025.
  • Advisory fees increased 35% to $1.0 million, compared to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2025.
  • Commissions and fees increased 11% to $2.3 million, compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2025.
  • Investment banking revenue was $1.6 million, adding to Siebert’s diversified revenue mix.
  • Retail customer net worth was $18.8 billion at quarter’s end.
  • Net loss was $2.0 million, compared to net income of $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2025.*
  • Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.05, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.22 in the first quarter of 2025.*

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Siebert’s results compared to the prior-year period reflected continued growth across core business lines, including stock borrow/stock loan and investment banking, offset by lower interest-related revenue, higher operating expenses, impairment of goodwill and an intangible asset related to our Media, Sports, and Entertainment divisions, as well as the $9.2 million unrealized gain recognized during the prior-year period related to our pre-IPO investment in restricted equity securities of a U.S. company that completed an IPO on March 31, 2025.

*The year-over-year comparison was affected by the $9.2 million non-cash unrealized gain recorded in the first quarter of 2025 on the restricted equity securities investment. Following the expiration of contractual resale restrictions on the equity securities, Siebert sold the majority of its position and recognized a net gain of $2.4 million related to the investment.

First Quarter 2026 and Recent Business Highlights

  • Siebert Financial and Newsmax expanded their strategic partnership through financial programming and a national advertising campaign designed to bring Siebert’s financial expertise, brand, and services to Newsmax’s national audience. Additionally, Siebert professionals are expected to appear in dedicated financial programming on Newsmax, providing commentary on markets, the economy, wealth planning, corporate finance, and other key investment themes.
  • Gebbia Media launched Tactical Wealth on Newsmax 2, bringing the podcast to television in a weekly format focused on the military and veteran community.
    Tactical Wealth supports Siebert’s broader engagement with veteran entrepreneurs and the military community, including the growth of tailored services such as Siebert.Valor.

Management Commentary

“Our first quarter results show strength across several important areas of the business, including stock loan, advisory fees, and commissions,” said John J. Gebbia, CEO of Siebert. “Our focus is on the bigger picture: building a broader Siebert platform, expanding our national reach, and creating new paths for long-term client and shareholder growth. Our expanded Newsmax partnership gives Siebert a national platform to introduce new services and support account-based expansion later this year.

“The year-over-year comparison reflects the impact of a significant non-cash unrealized gain recorded in the first quarter of 2025. This doesn’t detract from the key fact that Siebert entered 2026 with a more diversified operating base and a clear plan to scale,” said Andrew Reich, CFO of Siebert. “We are managing the business diligently while continuing to invest in areas that can support future revenue growth.”

Blue Gold Provides Update on Cayman Islands Court Ruling in Shareholder Litigation

NEW YORK, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blue Gold Limited (Nasdaq: BGL) (Nasdaq: BGLWW) (“Blue Gold” or the “Company”), a gold mining company with the infrastructure to deliver gold from mine-to-wallet, today announced a ruling from the Financial Services Division of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the “Court”) addressing certain preliminary issues in ongoing litigation relating to the Company’s 2025 business combination with Perception Capital Corp. IV, a special purpose acquisition company.

The Court’s ruling provides clarification on the interpretation of the Company’s Articles of Association in the context of the business combination and confirms that any modification to the rights of the relevant shareholder class must be effected in accordance with the procedures set out in those Articles. The Court concluded that the proposed amendments cannot be implemented at this stage. As the decision addresses preliminary issues only, with a number of substantive matters reserved for determination at trial, the Court ordered that the existing interim injunction, which prevents the Company from proceeding with the EGM to alter its Articles of Association, remain in place pending final resolution of the outstanding matters at trial.

Andrew Cavaghan, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Gold, commented, “We acknowledge the Court’s ruling and respect the legal process. While we are pleased to have clarity on certain interpretive matters relating to our Articles, this decision addresses only preliminary issues and does not resolve the broader dispute. Blue Gold remains committed to protecting the interests of all shareholders and maintaining orderly market conditions. We will continue to evaluate all available legal and strategic options as the case proceeds, including any appeal and/or stay of the Court’s ruling on these preliminary issues.”

Next Steps

Several substantive matters remain to be determined at trial and Blue Gold will continue to engage constructively in the ongoing proceedings while remaining focused on executing its core business strategy and delivering long-term value for shareholders.

About Blue Gold Limited

Blue Gold Limited (Nasdaq: BGL) (Nasdaq: BGLWW) is gold mining company with the infrastructure to deliver gold from mine-to-wallet. The Company’s mission is to explore, develop and operate high quality mining projects while leveraging modern technologies to sell the gold directly to end customers in tokenised form. Blue Gold prioritizes growth, sustainable development, and transparency in all its business practices. We believe that our commitment to responsible mining will enable us to create value for our shareholders while minimizing our environmental footprint.

Canopy Growth Provides Update on Financial Reporting and Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results to be Presented on June 15, 2026

Canopy Growth Provides Update on Financial Reporting and Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results to be Presented on June 15, 2026

SMITHS FALLS, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy Growth” or the “Company”) (TSX: WEED) (Nasdaq: CGC) expects to release its financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 before financial markets open on June 15, 2026. The Company also announced it plans to file restated financial results for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 and to certain of the interim periods therein (the “Refiling”), in conjunction with its filing of financial results for the year ended March 31, 2026 on June 15, 2026, as further described below and in the Company’s material change report and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K each dated May 15, 2026.

During the Company’s year-end financial reporting process for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Company identified a technical non-cash accounting error. The Company determined that certain share-settled warrants with exercise prices denominated in U.S. dollars, first issued during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, should have been classified as liabilities rather than equity instruments under applicable accounting standards, given the Company’s Canadian dollar functional currency. Accordingly, the Company should have recorded these instruments as liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets and measured them at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The corrections associated with the Refiling are the result of a technical application of accounting standards. The impact is expected to be limited to a reclassification between equity and liabilities and the related fair value adjustments, all of which are expected to be non-cash entries.

No Impact on Core Operating Performance

The Refiling is not expected to affect any of the following aspects of the Company’s previously reported financial results:

  • revenue, gross margin, operating income/loss and cash flows from operations;

  • Adjusted EBITDA or other key non-GAAP performance metrics used by management and investors;

  • total assets, cash balances, liquidity, or ability to meet obligations or fund operations;

  • compliance with any debt covenants, contractual ratios or borrowing capacity; or

  • the trajectory or narrative of financial performance.

Accordingly, these adjustments are non-cash and non-operational, and do not impact the Company’s underlying business performance.

Further details, including the full quantitative impact of the Refiling, are expected to be included in the Company’s filings in connection with the release of its financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, which filings will be made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR at www.sec.gov and with Canadian securities regulators and available on SEDAR+ under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Company has also voluntarily applied to the applicable securities regulatory authorities for a management cease trade order related to the Company’s securities to be imposed against certain directors and officers of the Company (the “MCTO”).Once granted, the MCTO will be in effect until the Refiling is complete. The issuance of the MCTO does not generally affect the ability of persons who have not been directors or officers of the Company to trade in their securities in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The Company intends to provide information with respect to further developments in respect of this matter promptly following their occurrence, including the issuance of bi-weekly status update reports until the Refiling is complete and the MCTO has been revoked. The Company has made the foregoing representations in accordance with the requirements of applicable securities laws, and other than as disclosed herein, there is no material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

Release of Financial Results and Investor Webcast

Canopy Growth expects to release its financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, as well as the restated financial results for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, prior to the opening of financial markets on June 15, 2026.

Following the release of its financial results, Canopy Growth will host an audio webcast with Luc Mongeau, CEO, and Tom Stewart, CFO, on June 15, 2026 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time (ET).

A live audio webcast will be available at:

https://onlinexperiences.com/Launch/QReg/ShowUUID=A7EE0D0C-0666-4DFD-8731-2283EDBF8C3B

A replay will be accessible by webcast until 11:59 PM ET on September 13, 2026 at the same URL.

Cyabra Reports First Quarter 2026 Results and Highlights Commercial Progress Following Nasdaq Listing

GAAP net loss of $10.8 million reflects approximately $5.2 million of share-based compensation and $3.4 million of one-time business-combination expenses; adjusted EBITDA loss was $3.2 million

ARR increased 19% year-over-year to approximately $7.0 million, while revenue increased 12% year-over-year and gross margin expanded to approximately 86%

Recent Fortune 500 agreement, expanded customer renewal, public-sector activity and strategic collaborations reflect early execution against Cyabra’s post-listing priorities: recurring revenue growth, scalable distribution, deeper platform adoption

NEW YORK, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cyabra, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYAB) (“Cyabra” or the “Company”), an AI-powered digital trust platform that helps governments and enterprises detect coordinated manipulation and protect digital trust and authenticity, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 and provided a corporate update.

“Cyabra entered the public markets with clear commercial momentum, expanding customer adoption and a growing recurring revenue foundation,” said Dan Brahmy, Cyabra Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “During the first quarter, revenue increased 12% year-over-year to approximately $1.4 million, annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) increased 19% year-over-year to approximately $7.0 million, and gross profit increased by 15% representing gross margins of about 86%, reflecting the strength of our high-margin platform model and the increasing relevance of our digital trust solutions across enterprise, public-sector and strategic collaboration channels. Since the beginning of the year, we have advanced several important commercial and strategic initiatives, including a major Fortune 500 consumer brand agreement, an expanded two-year customer renewal, strategic collaboration with Carahsoft, United Partners Network and Orchestra, and continued work with NATO StratCom COE. We have also focused on additional public-sector engagement designed to extend Cyabra’s reach into larger addressable markets.

These developments reflect the execution of our strategy to expand recurring revenue, deepen platform adoption and broaden distribution through strategic collaborations.

The first quarter marked Cyabra’s transition from a private-company to a publicly traded company. Cyabra has spent the last seven years building the technology, evidence corpus, and institutional credibility required to operate in environments where trust, security, and public perception are under attack. In late March 2026, we completed our business combination and began trading on Nasdaq. Our Q1 results reflect revenue and margin growth while also including certain non-cash and one-time transaction-related costs associated with that milestone, principally $5.2 million of share-based compensation expense and $3.4 million of one-time expenses tied to the business combination. Those costs should be viewed in the context of the operating momentum we are building: a recurring-revenue platform designed to help organizations distinguish authentic activity from coordinated manipulation by analyzing actors, behaviors and content, and translating that intelligence into actionable insights.

Our strategy is to continue expanding recurring revenue through new customers, renewals, upsells, and broader platform adoption; convert strategic collaborations into scalable distribution; and continue enhancing Cyabra’s capabilities across authenticity analysis, narrative intelligence, synthetic media analysis and evidence-based mitigation,” Mr. Brahmy continued. “Our work supports organizations including NATO, Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and multiple global enterprises, and our research has been cited across thousands of media reports covering some of the world’s high-profile examples of online manipulation. We are focused on positioning Cyabra as a leading digital trust platform that brings authenticity assessment, coordination detection, synthetic media analysis, impersonation monitoring and evidence-based mitigation into a unified platform for institutions. Our objective is to help organizations assess authenticity, identify coordinated activity, and determine what requires a proportionate response.”

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights and Subsequent Commercial Developments

  • ARR increased 19% year-over-year to approximately $7.0 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to approximately $5.9 million as of March 31, 2025
  • Revenue increased 12% year-over-year to approximately $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to approximately $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2025
  • Gross margin expanded to approximately 86% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to approximately 84% for the first quarter of 2025
  • Secured a yearly agreement with a major Fortune 500 consumer brand supporting narrative analysis, proactive alerts, evidence-backed mitigation support and executive impersonation and fraud risk monitoring
  • Signed expanded two-year customer renewal with a global entertainment management firm, expanding the scope of Cyabra’s support to include real-time narrative and authenticity analysis, proactive threat alerts, impersonation monitoring and AI-generated misinformation monitoring
  • NATO StratCom COE commissioned Cyabra to uncover AI-driven social media manipulation in a major 2026 report
  • Announced collaboration with Carahsoft to deliver advanced disinformation detection solutions to the U.S. public sector
  • Published analysis of an Iran-driven coordinated information operation that generated more than 145 million views online, with findings cited by The New York Times, Foreign Policy and additional international media outlets, demonstrating the scale and sophistication of coordinated manipulation activity across digital platforms
  • Expanded public-sector footprint with a new European customer
  • Announced strategic collaboration with Orchestra to deliver real-time brand safety at scale by combining Cyabra’s AI-driven authenticity and narrative intelligence with Orchestra’s communications and reputation expertise
  • Announced strategic collaboration with United Partners Network to strengthen brand protection and combat disinformation across Europe

Recent Product Developments

Cyabra also continued to expand its platform capabilities with the launch of a new third-party integration scan flow, enabling customers to import and analyze data from leading social listening platforms directly in Cyabra, starting with Meltwater and Talkwalker. The new workflow is designed to allow customers to use Cyabra as an intelligence layer on top of existing social listening systems, helping teams better understand authenticity, narratives, authors, and visual content without replacing established workflows.

Cyabra also expanded the depth and reach of its analysis capabilities with support for Douyin and WeChat, significantly increasing coverage across the Chinese-language social platforms; conflicting-location detection on X — formerly Twitter — to help identify profiles displaying inconsistent location signals that may indicate inauthentic or state-coordinated activity; harmful content and emotion detection to provide greater insight into amplified content and related sentiment and contextual framing; and a new Authenticity Benchmark that helps customers determine whether observed levels of inauthentic behavior are typical or anomalous compared to similar environments.

Cyabra also introduced the News Claims Analysis module, a new capability that surfaces and analyzes claims circulating in news content and tracks how narratives move from online networks into mainstream media. The module is designed to give customers a structured view of how a narrative travels — from its origin in coordinated online activity through its absorption into traditional media channels — enabling earlier identification of narrative threats and more informed response decisions. News Claims Analysis represents a meaningful expansion of Cyabra’s narrative intelligence capabilities and is part of the Company’s broader strategy to unify authenticity analysis, coordination detection, synthetic media analysis and narrative intelligence into a single operating system for institutions.

First Quarter 2026 Results

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $1.4 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 12%, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to revenue from new customers acquired during 2026 and increased revenue recognition from existing customers, which was partially offset by customers that did not renew their contracts in 2026.

Cyabra’s ARR was $7.0 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $5.9 million as of March 31, 2025. While year-over-year revenue grew by 12%, our ARR saw a more substantial increase of 19%. This performance reflects a strong surge in booking activity from new customers during the latter part of the last year. Due to revenue recognition rules, these deals only contributed marginally to this quarter’s top line. The growth in ARR serves as a key leading indicator for the accelerated revenue we expect to realize in the coming year.

Gross profit for the quarter was $1.2 million, compared to $1.1 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin was over 86%, up from 84% in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting the Company’s high-margin software model and continued efficiency in platform delivery.

Operating expenses were $13.0 million, compared to $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to non-cash share-based compensation expense of $5.2 million and one-time expenses related to the business combination of $3.4 million.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $10.8 million, an increase of $7.5 million, or 225%, compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of share-based payment expenses of $5.2 million, and one-time non-recurring expenses of $3.4 million related to the business combination.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $3.2 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe Adjusted EBITDA, as a non-GAAP measure, is useful in evaluating our operating performance. See the reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA below.

As of March 31, 2026, Cyabra had approximately $3.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. During the quarter, the Company completed its business combination and entered the public markets as it continued to advance commercialization of its digital trust platform.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Market Opportunities and Strategic Priorities

Enterprises, governments and public figures increasingly need to identify inauthentic networks, synthetic content, impersonation risk, coordinated influence and narrative attacks before they cause reputational, operational or public-trust damage. Cyabra is executing against this need as the authenticity and intelligence layer that operates alongside leading social listening, media monitoring and investigative platforms — adding evidence-based analysis of actors, behaviors and content without replacing established workflows. With its solutions, Cyabra enables customers to assess authenticity, identify coordinated activity, and determine what requires a proportionate response.

Near-term priorities are focused on expanding recurring revenue, deepening adoption within existing customer relationships, converting strategic collaborations into scalable distribution, increasing penetration across enterprise and public-sector channels, and continuing to enhance Cyabra’s capabilities across narrative intelligence, authenticity analysis, synthetic content detection, impersonation monitoring and evidence-based mitigation.

About Cyabra

Cyabra is an AI-powered digital trust platform that helps governments, enterprises and public figures detect coordinated manipulation, understand online narratives and protect trust and authenticity in digital environments. Cyabra analyzes actors, behaviors and content across digital platforms to reveal coordinated influence activity, assess authenticity and enable evidence-based mitigation. The Company’s platform supports use cases across disinformation defense, brand protection, public-sector intelligence, impersonation risk, synthetic content analysis and narrative threat detection.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate ongoing operating performance and believes they provide investors with additional insight when used as a supplement to GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is provided in the financial tables included in this release.

Cyabra uses annualized recurring revenues (“ARR”) as a performance metric in managing its business. Cyabra defines ARR as of a specific date as the annualized recurring revenue of signed term-based contracts from all customers with a term of at least 12 months. ARR is calculated by dividing the total contract value of each signed contract with a term of at least 12 months by the number of years in the term. ARR represents the annualized contract value for all contractually binding term-based contracts at the end of a period. Management uses ARR to understand customer trends and the overall health of Cyabra’s business, helping it to formulate strategic business decisions

In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe Adjusted EBITDA, as a non-GAAP measure, is useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a metric used by management in assessing our operating performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in evaluating its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net loss or any other financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as management.

Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPTX) Reports First Quarter 2026 Results and Strengthened Post-Quarter Balance Sheet

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPTX) (“Syntec” or the “Company”), a leading provider of advanced optics and photonics solutions across defense, biomedical, communications, and consumer markets, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Management Commentary

“Our first quarter results were impacted by temporary timing delays of shipments to biomedical end markets, due to purchase order revisions. However, operational execution remained solid, and shipments normalized beginning in April,” stated Dean Rudy, Chief Financial Officer of Syntec Optics. “We continued executing operational efficiency and cost reduction initiatives while advancing multiple strategic growth programs across defense tech and space tech markets.”

Mr. Rudy continued, “Subsequent to quarter end, we significantly strengthened our balance sheet and liquidity position through the successful completion of our public offering. We believe the additional $23 million of capital, including next-day execution of green shoe, combined with pay down of our revolving line of credit balance to zero while maintaining continued access to the facility, positions the Company to support future growth opportunities and operational scale improvements.”

Q1 2026 Financial Results

Revenue

  • Q1 2026 revenue was $6.5 million, compared to $7.1 million in Q1 2025.
  • The decrease was primarily attributable to temporary shipment timing delays related to a biomedical end-market purchase order, resulting from Syntec’s requested changes to improve production efficiency.
  • The Company received updated purchase orders subsequent to quarter-end, and shipments returned to normalized levels beginning in April 2026.

Gross Profit

  • Gross profit for Q1 2026 was $1.0 million, compared to $2.3 million in Q1 2025.
  • Gross margin was impacted primarily by a $1 million reduction in production volume in January, which led to a higher fixed manufacturing overhead absorption rate. Some of this lower production was also affected by the extended two-week holiday shutdown at the end of the previous quarter, which the Company intends to better manage going forward.
  • Direct labor and material costs remained generally stable as a percentage of revenue, reflecting continued operational discipline across core manufacturing processes.
  • During the quarter, the Company also continued selective investments in operational infrastructure and staffing intended to support anticipated future growth programs.

Operating Expenses

  • Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $1.7 million for Q1 2026, compared to $1.8 million in Q1 2025.
  • The Company continued to implement cost-control initiatives and operational efficiency improvements intended to support long-term margin improvement.

EPS

  • Net loss for Q1 2026 was approximately $0.9 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to net income of approximately $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for Q1 2025.
  • Results primarily reflected the timing of the temporary shipment delay and the holiday shutdown impacts discussed above, partially offset by continued operational cost management initiatives.

Improved Cash and Liquidity

  • The Company generated approximately $0.5 million of cash from operating activities during Q1 2026, despite temporary shipment timing delays.
  • Cash at quarter-end was approximately $0.6 million, and total liquidity, including availability under the Company’s revolving line of credit, was approximately $1.3 million as of March 31, 2026.
  • Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company successfully completed a public offering, raising approximately $21.5 million in net proceeds, thereby significantly strengthening its balance sheet.
  • Following the offering, the Company paid down its revolving line of credit to zero while maintaining access to its $7.5 million revolving credit facility with its commercial bank.
  • Management believes that, after completing the Company’s capital structure optimization, the raise provides additional flexibility to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, technologies, products, or assets, as well as for working capital and capital expenditures.

Operational Execution

  • Syntec continued executing operational efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives to improve throughput, manufacturing scalability, gross profit, and EBITDA performance.
  • The Company achieved continued yield and throughput improvements across several strategic growth programs, including:
    • LEO Satellite Optics
    • Night Vision Optics
    • Micro cameras and Display windows for Artificial Intelligence AR/VR glasses
    • AI/Data Center Optics
  • Manufacturing investments made during the quarter included selective expansion of production staffing and operational infrastructure intended to support anticipated demand growth beginning in Q2 2026 and beyond.
  • Multiple customer programs continued progressing from design and pilot phases toward production-stage manufacturing, strengthening the Company’s future revenue pipeline.
  • The Company also continued implementing operational and supply chain initiatives designed to partially offset inflationary cost pressures and support long-term margin expansion.

Outlook

The Company expects improved operating momentum in Q2 2026, supported by normalized customer shipment activity following temporary purchase order timing delays in Q1 2026.

Syntec expects growth drivers during 2026 to include:

  • Continued ramp of Space Tech optics product lines
  • Expansion of defense-related optics production for over $4M in previously announced orders
  • Increased space optics production activity in March 2026, as previously reported
  • Conversion of defense tech product from initial launch quantities to larger scale 10-year production orders expected for display optics and micro-cameras used in Artificial Intelligence Soldier AR/VR systems
  • Ongoing operational efficiency and cost reduction initiatives

The Company currently expects:

  • Q2 2026 net sales to improve sequentially from Q1 2026 levels to higher than $7.5M

Management believes the Company’s achievement of the capital raise milestone enabled the optimization of the capital structure and provided additional flexibility to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, technologies, products, or assets, as well as for working capital and capital expenditures.

CDT Environmental Technology Files 2025 Annual Report on Form 20-F

  • YE 2025 total revenues of $18.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately $11.5 million or a 38.8% decrease year-over-year
  • YE 2025 reported net loss of ($10.3) million driven by increase in stock-based compensation of $1.7 million and the recording of a provision for credit losses, net of recoveries, of approximately $14.7 million
  • Restructuring activities, previously implemented, have streamlined operations and improved efficiency, supporting a more competitive cost structure
  • As of March 31, 2026, the Company had three projects in backlog with a total provisional contract value of approximately US$26.8 million and currently has bids on two new wastewater treatment system projects
  • Prioritizing investments in accelerated innovation with a focus on new energy opportunities

SHENZHEN, China, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CDT Environmental Technology Investment Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: CDTG) (“CDT”, the “Company”, or “we”), a leading provider of waste treatment systems and services throughout China, announced to today that it has filed its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 15, 2026. The annual report on Form 20-F, which contains CDT’s audited consolidated financial statements, can be accessed through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or CDT’s website at https://www.cdthb.cn.

All amounts are expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

2025 Financial Results

  • Total revenues decreased by approximately $11.5 million, or 38.8%, to approximately $18.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
  • Revenues from sewage treatment system installations decreased by approximately $11.1 million, or 39.2%, to approximately $17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from approximately $28.4 million for the same period in 2024. This decline is primarily attributable to delays in the progress of projects initiated between 2021 and 2024, which were mainly caused by prolonged local government review and approval processes that pushed project timelines beyond initial expectations, as well as a decrease in the number of new projects secured in 2025 compared to the previous year.
  • Revenues from sewage treatment services decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 29.8%, to approximately $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from approximately $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to reduced demand for our services as a result of the ongoing economic downturn in the PRC
  • Gross profit decreased by approximately $3.7 million, or 32.8%, to approximately $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from approximately $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to the decline in revenue from the wastewater treatment system and wastewater treatment system services as discussed above.
  • For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, overall gross profit margin was 41.5% and 37.8%, respectively. The 3.7% increase was primarily due to a higher proportion of profitable projects completed during 2025, partially offset by a decrease in the gross profit percentage for our sewage treatment services business primarily due to increased labor costs.
  • Total operating expenses increased by approximately $10.0 million or 107.7% to approximately $19.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 from approximately $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was mainly attributable to approximately $1.7 million increase in stock-based compensation and the recording of a provision for credit losses, net of recoveries, of approximately $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net recovery of approximately $6.5 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in the recording of a provision for credit losses, net of recoveries, was primarily due to higher provisions made in 2025 in response to increased credit risk and collectability concerns.

The Company has considered historical experience, the economic environment, trends in the sewage treatment industry, and the expected collectability of accounts receivable and contract assets as of December 31, 2025. Since its sewage treatment systems customers are mainly state-owned companies, which are backed by the local governments, the Company believes its current allowance policy is reasonable as of December 31, 2025.

As such, the Company currently expects to realize these outstanding balances, net of allowance within the normal operating cycle of twelve months. As of the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has received approximately $1.9 million of its accounts receivable. The liquidity of the Company’s operations highly depends on the timing of payments from its major customers, and should there be any delay in payment, its operations and liquidity may be impacted.

  • Net loss was approximately $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of approximately $1.4 million for the same period in 2024. The decline was primarily attributable to delays in the progress of projects initiated between 2021 and 2024, a decrease in the number of new projects secured in 2025 and reduced demand for the Company’s services amid the ongoing economic downturn in the PRC.
  • As of December 31, 2025, our working capital was approximately $26.4 million compared to $26.0 million.

Update on Current and Planned Projects

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had three projects in backlog: Phase VI of the Jimei Guankou Project, the Xiamen Xinglin Pipeline Network Renovation Project, and the Hubei Wuxue Project. Phase VI of the Jimei Guankou Project was signed in February 2025 and commenced construction in March 2025; the Xiamen Xinglin Pipeline Network Renovation Project was signed in July 2025 and commenced construction in August 2025; and the Hubei Wuxue Project was signed and commenced construction in March 2026. According to the project agreements, the total provisional contract value for these three projects is RMB 187 million (approximately US$26.8 million), of which the provisional contract value for Phase VI of the Jimei Guankou Project is RMB 30 million (approximately US$4.3 million), the Xiamen Xinglin Pipeline Network Renovation Project has a provisional contract value of RMB 87 million (approximately US$12.5 million), and the Hubei Wuxue Project has a provisional contract value of RMB 70 million (approximately US$10 million), subject to the specific terms of the agreements.

In addition, the Company is currently participating in the bidding process for two wastewater treatment system projects, with results expected by the third quarter of 2026. There is no guarantee that the Company will be awarded these contracts, nor is there any guarantee that, even if awarded, the projects will be completed on time or at all.

Update on the Development of
New Energy Opportunities to Diversify Revenue Streams

The Company is currently in discussions with potential industry partners to convert organic solid waste into new energy and renewable energy to promote commercialization of market-ready innovative energy solutions needed to achieve sustainable development goals and carbon neutrality, laying a foundation for the Company’s future growth. The Company is currently engaged in the planning stages of this new energy opportunity, and therefore a number of uncertainties exist relating to the successful launch of this new project and the ability of the Company to create a new revenue stream in the future.

Li Yunwu,
Chief Executive Officer
of CDT, commented, “During fiscal year 2025, customer demand across our primary end markets aligned with expectations, despite macroeconomic headwinds in China and isolated project delays. While the external environment remains dynamic, our teams are executing well, staying close to customers, and advancing long-term priorities. Our cost optimization program to enhance operating efficiency and further strengthen our competitive position, continued to deliver benefits as we expanded our operating margin by 370 basis points year-over-year.

Entering 2026, we are confident that the enduring need to safeguard the supply of clean water will continue to underpin demand for our services across our key municipal end markets over the long term. Combined with our durable business model and the critical role our technologies and services play in supporting the daily operations of our customers, we expect to see an improvement in core sales growth and stable margins as the year progresses. This belief is underpinned by the three significant projects in the backlog totaling approximately $27 million along with several new projects that we are bidding on.”

Li Yunwu concluded, “As part of our continued effort to deliver essential technologies that help customers address their biggest wastewater challenges, we have been establishing strategic partnerships with major Chinese enterprises to help achieve the country’s ‘Dual Carbon’ goals. Driven by the 2030 carbon peaking target, local governments and industries must undergo significant transformations. Decarbonization aligns with CDT’s new energy development strategy designed to diversify our revenue streams while we continue to drive organic growth opportunities in our core business. These are important steps in our roadmap to drive sustained, profitable growth and deliver meaningful long-term value for our shareholders.”
