Fluke Survey Finds Predictive Maintenance Adoption Doubles as Manufacturers Boost Digital Investment

Organizations are investing heavily in AI and new technology, but skills shortages—not funding—are now the biggest obstacle to digital maturity

Everett, Washington, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fluke Corporation today released survey findings revealing a significant acceleration in digital maturity across manufacturing, propelled by a YoY increase in predictive maintenance adoption. Rising investment in Generative AI (36 percent) and Industrial AI (35 percent) underscores this transition, as organizations move beyond pilot programs toward production-scale impact.

The research, conducted by Censuswide, surveyed over 600 senior decision-makers and maintenance professionals in the U.S., the UK, and Germany. The findings show that within one-year, reactive maintenance remained flat at 36 percent. Proactive maintenance fell from 55 percent to 45 percent while predictive maintenance adoption doubled from 9 percent 18 percent, signalling a shift from traditional preventive models to data-driven execution.

The findings indicate this transition is being reinforced by increased capital allocation. Over the next 12 months, manufacturers are prioritizing technologies that deliver measurable operational impact quickly. The data shows a clear shift toward pragmatic investment: nearly eight in ten (72 percent) organizations now allocate 16–30% of their maintenance budgets to new technologies, with investment moving away from exploratory AI (44 percent in 2024) toward operational priorities including cybersecurity (37 percent), data management (36 percent), Generative AI (36 percent), and Industrial AI (35 percent).

However, the data shows a growing disconnect between technology adoption and workforce readiness. The results point to a deeper issue, with skills-related challenges accounting for approximately 78 percent of all reported obstacles, including lack of expertise (23 percent), knowledge shortages (18 percent), skilled labor gaps (19 percent), and broader workforce skills shortages (17 percent).

As manufacturers move from experimentation to execution, respondents show that expectations around Industry 5.0 are resetting accordingly. Confidence in near-term achievement has declined: the share expecting completion within six months fell from 33 percent to 22 percent, while 40 percent now anticipate a one- to four-year timeline.

Instead, the data suggests manufacturers are concentrating on what is achievable now. Nearly half of respondents (49 percent) plan to advance connected reliability initiatives within the next 12 months; signalling reliability as the practical bridge between near-term operational needs and longer-term Industry 5.0 ambitions.

 Parker Burke, President of Fluke Corporation, said: “Manufacturers are continuing to invest in digital technologies, but progress depends on how effectively those technologies are applied. Our findings show that reliability and workforce skills are now the critical factors in converting technology spend into measurable operational improvement. We need a solution to the skills shortage to supplement technology investment for the best results.”

Vineet Thuvara, Chief Product Officer, Fluke Corporation, added: “The progress is encouraging, but it’s not enough yet. Predictive maintenance is no longer a future ambition: it is the baseline. Manufacturer’s next challenge is scaling adoption and integrating it across the organization, ensuring these capabilities work in harmony across the organization, not in isolation.”

The survey, conducted by Censuswide on behalf of Fluke, surveyed 600 respondents representing manufacturing firms across the Food & Beverage, Oil & Gas, Life Sciences, and Automotive industries operating in Germany, the UK, and the US.

Vital Farms Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Vital Farms Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

First Quarter Net Revenue Grows 15.4% Versus Prior-Year Period to $187.2 Million

Announces Plan to Wind Down Butter Business

Adjusts Fiscal Year 2026 Net Revenue Outlook to $775 Million to $800 Million and Adjusted EBITDA Outlook to $0 Million to $10 Million

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Vital Farms (Nasdaq: VITL), a Certified B Corporation that offers a range of ethically produced foods nationwide, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 29, 2026.

Financial highlights for the first quarter ended March 29, 2026, compared to the first quarter ended March 30, 2025, include:

  • Net Revenue increased 15.4% to $187.2 million, compared to $162.2 million

  • Gross Margin of 28.3%, compared to 38.5%

  • Net Loss of $1.5 million, compared to Net Income of $16.9 million

  • Net Loss per Diluted Share of $0.03, compared to Net Income per Diluted Share of $0.37

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $5.0 million,compared to $27.5 million1

“Our first quarter performance fell short of expectations, as the anticipated changes in industry pricing and promotional dynamics in the outdoor access egg subcategory had a much greater impact on our velocities than we expected,” said Russell Diez-Canseco, Vital Farms’ Executive Chairperson, President and CEO. “We are acting with urgency to restore volume growth by narrowing price gaps versus other outdoor access eggs, which we believe will help reaccelerate our velocities. We are streamlining our cost structure and reducing our CapEx this year to better align our operating model with the current environment. To be clear: this is a reset of the year, not a reset of ambition. While the near-term environment requires greater discipline, we believe the core fundamentals of the Vital Farms business remain intact, as evidenced by the distribution gains we have already secured for this year.

Additionally, following a comprehensive review process, we have made the strategic decision to wind down the butter business. This decision was driven by increased complexity in our international supply chain and more volatile economics. Exiting butter will allow us to focus on our core egg categories, where we have the greatest competitive advantages and see the strongest path to long-term value creation at this time,” concluded Diez-Canseco.

1Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and is reconciled to net income, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.

For the 13 Weeks Ended March 29, 2026

Net revenue increased 15.4% to $187.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $162.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026 was driven by volume-related revenue growth of $34.7 million and partially offset by a price/mix decline of $9.7 million. Volume growth was driven by accelerated demand for existing products, expanded item offerings and store distribution at existing customers. The price/mix decline was driven by an oversupply of egg inventory, which resulted in increased sales to breaker and wholesale channels at lower prices.

Gross profit was $53.0 million, or 28.3% of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $62.5 million, or 38.5% of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2025. Gross profit and margin decreased compared to the prior-year period reflecting higher input and production costs and unfavorable sales mix, which were partially offset by higher net revenue from volume growth and pricing actions taken last year. The unfavorable sales mix was driven by an oversupply of egg inventory, which resulted in increased sales to breaker and wholesale channels at lower prices, reducing gross profit by an estimated $4.9 million.

Loss from operations was $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to income from operations of $21.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven by higher input and production costs, higher SG&A to support the growth of the business as well as an unfavorable sales mix, which were only partially offset by higher net revenue from volume growth and pricing actions taken last year.

Net loss was $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $16.9 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was driven by higher input and production costs and unfavorable sales mix, which were partially offset by higher net revenue from volume growth and pricing actions taken last year.

Net loss per diluted share was ($0.03) for the first quarter of 2026, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.37 in the prior-year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was $5.0 million, or 2.7% of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $27.5 million, or 16.9% of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven by higher input and production costs, higher SG&A to support the growth of the business as well as an unfavorable sales mix, which were only partially offset by higher net revenue from volume growth and pricing actions taken last year.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and is reconciled to net income, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $51.4 million as of March 29, 2026, and we had no outstanding debt. The sequential decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $61.9 million was primarily due to investments in Vital Crossroads (VXR), the company’s planned second egg washing and packing facility in Seymour, Indiana, and development of accelerator farms, as well as repurchases of the company’s common stock. Net cash used in operating activities was $18.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $5.3 million for the prior-year quarter.

Capital expenditures totaled $20.8 million in the 13-week period ended March 29, 2026, compared to $3.1 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to investments in VXR.

Stock repurchased under the company’s previously announced stock repurchase program totaled 1,001,747 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $19.97, for an aggregate cost of $20.0 million, in the first quarter of 2026. As of March 29, 2026, $80.0 million remained authorized for repurchases of additional shares of the company’s common stock.

Strategic Business Update

Vital Farms announced the strategic decision to wind down its butter business by the end of fiscal 2026 to sharpen its focus on its core egg product categories where the company believes it maintains distinct competitive advantages.

This portfolio optimization is expected to be margin accretive upon cessation of operations, while freeing management bandwidth to accelerate distribution in the company’s core egg categories.

Fiscal 2026 Outlook

Thilo Wrede, Vital Farms’ Chief Financial Officer, commented: “Our updated outlook for fiscal year 2026 reflects a prudent response to the current pricing environment in the egg category. We are proactively tightening our cost structure and aligning our capital allocation to prioritize operational discipline and margin protection. This is designed to ensure we navigate near-term headwinds effectively while maintaining a strong balance sheet and positioning us for strong future growth based on our trusted brand.”

For fiscal year 2026, we expect:

  • Net revenue of $775 million to $800 million, which represents at least 5% growth versus fiscal year 2025. This assumes that our investments in price and our distribution gains lead to a return to positive shell egg volume growth by the third quarter of 2026 with acceleration in the fourth quarter. It also assumes that competitive activity does not intensify further.

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $0 to $10 million, reflecting higher than previously anticipated promotional spending and price investments and the negative impact of approximately $32 million from costs to manage the current oversupply of eggs.

  • Capital expenditures in the range of $70 million to $75 million, compared to our previous range of $140 million to $150 million. The lower capital expenditures outlook reflects our decision to slow the pace of capital spending, particularly at VXR and new accelerator farms, to better align the timing of capacity additions with demand realization.

Vital Farms’ guidance assumes that there are no significant disruptions to the supply chain or its customers or consumers, including any issues from adverse macroeconomic factors. Vital Farms cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and net (loss) income, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for income taxes and stock-based compensation, among other items. These items are not within our control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis 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 and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are helpful to our investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of our business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude: (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) stock-based compensation expense; (3) (benefit) or provision for income taxes as applicable; (4) interest expense; (5) interest income; and (6) amortization of cloud computing arrangements. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin include that (1) they do not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, (2) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect these capital expenditures, (3) they do not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense, (4) they do not reflect other non-operating expenses, including interest expense; and (5) they do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us. In addition, our use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the same manner, limiting the usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial measures, including our net (loss) income, net (loss) income margin and other results stated in accordance with GAAP.

About Korro

Korro is a biopharmaceutical company leveraging a novel oligonucleotide promoted editing of RNA (OPERA®) platform to develop a new class of genetic medicines for rare and highly prevalent diseases. OPERA provides precise, tissue-directed delivery of oligonucleotides that modify the targeted native mRNA transcript to repair or form a de-novo protein with enhanced functionality. The platform combines a suite of capabilities consisting of sophisticated knowledge of transcription biology through ADAR proteins (Adenosine Deaminases Acting on RNA), machine learning optimization of oligonucleotides, linker chemistry expertise, along with use of a highly targeted tissue-specific delivery methodology.  As such, the OPERA platform has enabled Korro to generate and advance a portfolio of differentiated programs that are designed to harness the body’s natural RNA editing process, providing precise yet transient single base edits to produce therapeutic proteins with augmented activity versus its endogenous counterpart. By editing RNA instead of DNA, Korro is expanding the reach of genetic medicines by delivering additional precision and tunability, which has the potential for increased specificity and improved long-term tolerability. Using an oligonucleotide-based approach, Korro expects to bring its medicines to patients by leveraging its proprietary OPERA platform with precedented delivery modalities, including N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) conjugated for delivery for subcutaneous administration, manufacturing know-how, and established regulatory pathways of approved oligonucleotide medicines. Korro is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For more information, visit korrobio.com.

Accordingly, investors should monitor Korro’s Investor Relations website and follow @KorroBio on LinkedIn, and X (Twitter), in addition to following Korro’s press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, presentations, and webcasts.

About Hyperammonemia

Hyperammonemia, the dangerous accumulation of ammonia in the blood, manifests across multiple indications, including urea cycle disorders (UCDs) and hepatic encephalopathy (HE). UCDs are rare inborn errors of metabolism involving deficiencies of enzymes required for ureagenesis, the process of converting ammonia to urea for excretion. The absence or deficiency of any of the urea cycle enzymes can result in hyperammonemia and an increased risk of hyperammonemic crises (HACs), which can result in severe and permanent neurological symptoms, coma, and death. HE is a neuropsychiatric complication of liver disease characterized by cognitive dysfunction and altered consciousness. HE is primarily caused by the liver’s inability to adequately detoxify ammonia, typically occurring in patients with liver cirrhosis. This leads to ammonia accumulating in the bloodstream and crossing the blood-brain barrier, causing brain dysfunction that ranges from subtle cognitive impairment to severe confusion and coma.

About KRRO-121

KRRO-121 is a GalNAc-conjugated RNA editing oligonucleotide for the potential treatment of hyperammonemia in patients with UCDs of any mutational background as well as patients with HE. Utilizing Korro’s proprietary OPERA® platform, KRRO-121 is designed to generate a stabilized, de novo glutamine synthetase (GS) protein, a critical enzyme involved in ammonia clearance. This synthetic rescue approach is designed to augment ammonia clearance in hyperammonemia-driven diseases such as UCDs and HE. Korro’s preclinical data support the potential for KRRO-121 to be a pan-UCD treatment that may control ammonia levels, along with the potential to enable diet liberalization, reduce dependence on nitrogen scavengers, and lower the risk of HACs. KRRO-121 also has the potential to enhance ammonia control in HE patients, which may reduce the risk of recurrent HE episodes. KRRO-121 may offer infrequent subcutaneous dosing, which, if confirmed in clinical studies, could offer significant improvement over current treatments that require multiple daily doses. KRRO-121 has the potential to be a differentiated, first-in-class, disease-modifying therapy for both UCD and HE.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this document may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Codere Online Luxembourg, S.A. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Codere Online”) or Codere Online’s or its management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this document may include, for example, statements about Codere Online’s financial performance and, in particular, the potential evolution and distribution of its net gaming revenue; any prospective and illustrative financial information; and changes in Codere Online’s strategy, future operations and target addressable market, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this document and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Codere Online’s or its management team’s views as of any subsequent date, and Codere Online does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, Codere Online’s actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Codere Online does not presently know or that Codere Online currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include (i) changes in applicable laws or regulations, including online gaming, privacy, data use and data protection rules and regulations as well as consumers’ heightened expectations regarding proper safeguarding of their personal information, (ii) the impacts and ongoing uncertainties created by regulatory restrictions, changes in perceptions of the gaming industry, changes in policies and increased competition, and geopolitical events such as war, (iii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations and identify and realize additional opportunities, (iv) the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which Codere Online operates, (v) the risk that Codere Online and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize Codere Online’s services, or experience significant delays in doing so, (vi) the risk that Codere Online may never achieve or sustain profitability, (vii) the risk that Codere Online will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all, (viii) the risk that Codere Online experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations, (ix) the risk that third-party providers, including the Codere Group, are not able to fully and timely meet their obligations, (x) the risk that the online gaming operations will not provide the expected benefits due to, among other things, the inability to obtain or maintain online gaming licenses in the anticipated time frame or at all, (xi) the risk that Codere Online is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property, (xii) the risk that Codere Online’s securities may be delisted from Nasdaq and (xiii) the possibility that Codere Online may be adversely affected by other political, economic, business, and/or competitive factors. Additional information concerning certain of these and other risk factors is contained in Codere Online’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Codere Online or other matters and attributable to Codere Online or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

Financial Information and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Codere Online’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), which can differ in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

This document includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP or IFRS (“non-GAAP”), such as, without limitation, net gaming revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and constant currency information. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Codere Online’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to revenue, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under U.S. GAAP or IFRS. You should be aware that Codere Online’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. In addition, the audit of Codere Online’s financial statements in accordance with PCAOB standards, may impact how Codere Online currently calculates its non-GAAP financial measures, and we cannot assure you that there would not be differences, and such differences could be material.

Codere Online believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in comparing Codere Online’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable measure under IFRS are included herein.

This document may include certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures. Codere Online is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP or IFRS financial measures without unreasonable effort, due to the inherent difficulty and variability of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such comparable measures or such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, ascertained or assessed, which could have a material impact on its future IFRS financial results. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable U.S. GAAP or IFRS measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included.

Use of Projections

This document contains financial forecasts with respect to Codere Online’s business and projected financial results, including net gaming revenue and adjusted EBITDA. Codere Online’s independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this document, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this document. These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of Codere Online or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this document should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved.

For further information on the limitations and assumptions underlying these projections, please refer to Codere Online’s filings with the SEC.

Preliminary Information

This document contains figures, financial metrics, statistics and other information that is preliminary and subject to change (the “Preliminary Information”). The Preliminary Information has not been audited, reviewed, or compiled by any independent registered public accounting firm. This Preliminary Information is subject to ongoing review including, where applicable, by Codere Online’s independent auditors. Accordingly, no independent registered public accounting firm has expressed an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to the Preliminary Information. During the course of finalizing such Preliminary Information, adjustments to such Preliminary Information presented herein may be identified, which may be material. Codere Online undertakes no obligation to update or revise the Preliminary Information set forth in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. The Preliminary Information may differ from actual results. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance upon this Preliminary Information. The Preliminary Information is not a comprehensive statement of financial results, and should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, the Preliminary Information is not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved in any future period.

Total Revenue of $54.2 million, up 8% from the Prior Quarter

GAAP Net Loss of ($15.7) million and GAAP Diluted EPS of ($0.16) for the Quarter

Adjusted Net Loss1 of ($6.6) million and Adjusted Diluted EPS1 of ($0.07) for the Quarter

Total Company Adjusted EBITDA1 of $1.6 million and Operated Segment Adjusted EBITDA1 of $6.8 million for the Quarter

Total Cash, Cash Equivalents, Equity Securities Measured at Fair Value and Loans Receivable of $329.9 million, or $3.41 per share

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Acacia Research Corporation (Nasdaq: ACTG) (“Acacia” or the “Company”), which acquires and operates businesses across the industrial, energy and technology sectors, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company also posted its first quarter 2026 earnings presentation on its website at www.acaciaresearch.com under Quarterly Results.

Martin (“MJ”) D. McNulty, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Acacia delivered strong financial and operating results for the first quarter, generating total revenue of $54.2 million, Operated Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $6.8 million and Total Company Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million. Operationally, our companies continued to execute on our strategic objectives, including targeted pricing strategies, cost savings initiatives and continued tariff countermeasures. We are pleased to announce that our Energy Operations subsidiary, Benchmark Energy, delivered its strongest revenue quarter under Acacia ownership driven by favorable oil prices and continued investments in new well development. Given the constructive commodity price environment and the early success with Benchmark’s recently completed Cherokee well, drilling in both our Cherokee and Cleveland acreage has become more attractive and we are in advanced stages of evaluating additional projects. Our Deflecto subsidiary completed its facility consolidation, which we expect to drive meaningful cost synergies on an annualized basis.

As we look ahead to the remainder of 2026, our strategic focus is centered on leveraging our significant capital base and experienced management team to drive long-term growth across our operating businesses. As of the end of the first quarter, cash, cash equivalents, equity securities and loans receivable was approximately $329.9 million, or $3.41 per share. Our acquisition pipeline remains very active, and our strong cash position and balance sheet provide us with the flexibility to execute on accretive organic and inorganic growth opportunities, driving differentiated value for our shareholders.”

First Quarter 2026 Highlights:

  • Total revenue of $54.2 million, compared to $124.4 million for the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by lower paid-up license revenue from our Intellectual Property Operations segment.

  • GAAP Net Loss of ($15.7) million, or ($0.16) GAAP Diluted EPS.

  • Adjusted Net Loss of ($6.6) million, or ($0.07) Adjusted Diluted EPS.

  • Operated Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $6.8 million.

  • Total Company Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million.

  • At quarter end, cash, cash equivalents, equity securities measured at fair value and loans receivable totaled approximately $329.9 million, or $3.41 per share.

  • Benchmark Energy successfully drilled and completed its first Cherokee well in-line with budget, with anticipated wellhead returns in excess of 60%.

Balance Sheet and Capital Structure

  • Cash, cash equivalents, equity securities measured at fair value and loans receivable totaled $329.9 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $339.6 million at December 31, 2025, a decrease of $9.7 million. This change in cash was primarily due to an increase in cash generated from operating activities across all Operated Segments of $7.3 million and proceeds from the sale of an unoccupied portion of Deflecto’s manufacturing facility in the U.K. of $1.6 million. Cash was reduced by Parent Costs of $3.9 million and further by $8.5 million and $0.7 million of capital expenditures at Benchmark and Deflecto, respectively, as well as $1.8 million incurred by our Intellectual Property Operations for the purchase of additional interests in the Wi-Fi 7 portfolio. Cash used in financing activities reduced cash by $1.9 million, primarily from $1.6 million of debt repayment on the Deflecto facility and $0.3 million of taxes paid related to net share settlement of share-based awards. Additionally, the change in the fair market value of equity securities reduced cash, cash equivalents, equity securities at fair value and loans receivable by $2.2 million.

  • Equity securities without readily determinable fair value totaled $5.8 million at March 31, 2026, unchanged from December 31, 2025.

  • Investment securities representing equity method investments totaled $19.9 million at March 31, 2026 (net of noncontrolling interests), unchanged from December 31, 2025. Acacia owns 64% of MalinJ1, which results in a 26% indirect ownership stake in Viamet Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for Acacia.

  • Loans receivable totaled $8.1 million at March 31, 2026, which represents the commercial loans collateralized by Bitcoin that Acacia has purchased through its partnership with Unchained Capital.

  • The Parent company’s total indebtedness was zero at March 31, 2026. On a consolidated basis, Acacia’s total indebtedness was $90.5 million, consisting of $59.5 million in non-recourse debt at Benchmark and $31.0 million in non-recourse debt at Deflecto, net of debt discount and issuance costs, as of March 31, 2026.

Book Value as of March 31, 2026

At March 31, 2026, Acacia’s book value (which includes noncontrolling interests) was $567.2 million and there were 96.6 million shares of common stock outstanding, for a book value per share of $5.87. This value is impacted by one-time expenses and other adjustments detailed in the above reconciliation from GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss).

ACACIA RESEARCH CORPORATION – SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE

This earnings release includes Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis and for each of the Company’s segments. Total Company Adjusted EBITDA, Operated Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow (FCF) for each of the Company’s segments are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This earnings release also includes the Company’s Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS), which are non-GAAP financial measures. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future performance, financial position or cash flow that includes or excludes amounts that are excluded or included, respectively, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s financial statements.

Total Company Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income / (loss) before net income / (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax (benefit) / expense, interest expense, interest income, and other expense, net and loss / (gain) on foreign currency exchange, net realized and unrealized (gain) / loss on derivatives, net realized and unrealized loss / (gain) on investments, non-recurring legacy legal expenses, depreciation, depletion and amortization, stock-based compensation, transaction-related costs, severance costs, restructuring expense, and costs related to the legacy items, and includes realized hedge gain / (loss) and service provider settlement income. Operated Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the aggregate of Energy Operations Adjusted EBITDA, Manufacturing Operations Adjusted EBITDA, Industrial Operations Adjusted EBITDA, and Intellectual Property Operations Adjusted EBITDA. See below for the definition of each of those measures. The Company is providing Total Company Adjusted EBITDA and Operated Segment Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP financial measures, because management believes these metrics provide investors with useful supplemental information in comparing the operating results across reporting periods by excluding items that are not considered indicative of core operating performance. These measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with GAAP and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures supplements other metrics the Company uses to internally evaluate its subsidiary businesses and facilitate the comparison of past and present operating performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Energy Operations

Energy Operations Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income / (loss) for Acacia’s Energy Operations before depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and transaction-related costs, and including realized hedge gain / (loss). The Company is providing its Energy Operations Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, because the metric provides investors with useful supplemental information in comparing the operating results across reporting periods by excluding items that are not considered indicative of core operating performance.

Industrial Operations

Industrial Operations Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income / (loss) for Acacia’s Industrial Operations before amortization of acquired intangibles, depreciation and amortization expense, and severance costs. The Company is providing its Industrial Operations Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, because the metric provides investors with useful supplemental information in comparing the operating results across reporting periods by excluding items that are not considered indicative of core operating performance.

Intellectual Property Operations

Intellectual Property Operations Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income / (loss) for Acacia’s Intellectual Property Operations before patent amortization, depreciation expense and stock-based compensation, and including service provider settlement income. The Company is providing Intellectual Property Operations Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, because the metric provides investors with useful supplemental information in comparing the operating results across reporting periods by excluding items that are not considered indicative of core operating performance.

Manufacturing Operations

Manufacturing Operations Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income / loss for Acacia’s Manufacturing Operations before amortization of acquired intangibles, depreciation and amortization expense, severance costs, restructuring expense, and transaction-related costs. The Company is providing its Manufacturing Operations Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, because the metric provides investors with useful supplemental information in comparing the operating results across reporting periods by excluding items that are not considered indicative of core operating performance.

Parent Costs are defined as operating income / (loss) attributable to Parent before depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, transaction-related costs, and costs related to certain legacy matters attributable to the Parent organization. The Company is providing Parent Costs, a non-GAAP financial measure, because it believes it gives investors a clear picture of normalized Parent-level expenses.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less net purchases of property and equipment, and patent acquisitions (“Capital Expenditures”). The Company is providing Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, because it believes free cash flow gives investors a good sense of how much cash flows are available to be used for de-levering, making acquisitions, repurchasing shares or similar uses of cash.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as Acacia’s GAAP Net Income (Loss) excluding costs related to certain legacy matters, stock-based compensation, transaction-related costs, amortization of acquired intangibles, severance costs, restructuring expense, any unrealized (gain) / loss on securities, any unrealized (gain) / loss on hedges, and any (gain) / loss on non-cash derivatives and taking into account the tax effect(s) of those adjustments. The Company is providing Adjusted Net Income (Loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, because the metric provides investors with useful supplemental information in comparing the operating results across reporting periods by excluding items that are not considered indicative of core operating performance.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the Company’s weighted average diluted share count as of the relative period end date. The Company is providing its Adjusted Diluted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, because the metric provides investors with useful supplemental information in comparing the operating results across reporting periods by excluding items that are not considered indicative of core operating performance.

The following tables reconcile Operating Income (Loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the Company’s operating segments and for Parent Costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

Liberty Latin America Reports Q1 2026 Results

Liberty Latin America Reports Q1 2026 Results

Solid postpaid net adds across all segments

Improved cash flow from operations and Adjusted FCF

Jamaica recovery ahead of expectations

Intention to distribute preferred stock; active stock repurchases

DENVER, Colorado–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Liberty Latin America Ltd. (“Liberty Latin America” or “LLA”) (NASDAQ: LILA and LILAK, OTC Link: LILAB) today announced its financial and operating results for the three months (“Q1”) ended March 31, 2026.

President and CEO Balan Nair commented, “The first quarter represented a strong start to 2026 for Liberty Latin America, adding 50,000 postpaid net additions with all segments contributing positively, including Puerto Rico for a second consecutive quarter, as we maintain a razor-sharp focus on our commercial positioning across the group.”

“Key metrics such as Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted FCF came in ahead of our own expectations, which had reflected the tougher year-over-year comparables due to the impact of Hurricane Melissa and from the timing of B2B projects, notably in C&W Panama and Liberty Networks. We anticipate that year-over-year headwinds will ease through the remainder of the year and be supported by revenue growth and ongoing cost reduction initiatives.”

“Our recovery in Jamaica, meanwhile, is proceeding ahead of prior expectations and we are accelerating our ambition for fixed home reconnections this year, all within our anticipated capex envelope. Our Jamaican mobile operation continues to scale at pace, successfully leveraging off our satellite initiatives both during and following Hurricane Melissa. We are also thrilled to have announced our agreement to launch Central America’s first direct-to-cell service, Liberty-Starlink, in Costa Rica.”

“With bolstered confidence in our business, liquidity and cash flow trajectory, and with a focus on unlocking value for shareholders, we are announcing the intent in Q2 to distribute to our shareholders $500 million in preferred stock with a 9% dividend rate. We believe this capital allocation strategy provides our shareholders with a compelling cash return preferred stock, combined with an even more attractively geared common equity.”

“Notwithstanding this significant development, for the first time since H1 2024, we conducted stock repurchases in March 2026. We will be opportunistic with respect to further repurchases, as we have approximately $185 million remaining under our current repurchase authorization. As we look out through the rest of the year, we continue to be highly focused on organic growth, cash flow expansion, as well as our ongoing strategic initiatives.”

Intent to distribute Preferred Stock to LLA shareholders

Today we are announcing the intention to distribute to LLA shareholders a new series of preferred stock, with an aggregate notional amount of $500 million and a dividend rate of 9%. We are working to complete this distribution before the end of Q2 and will keep shareholders apprised of key dates, including the final distribution ratio and other terms.

This structure demonstrates our confidence in the future cash profile of LLA, providing our shareholders with a high cash return security as well as regearing our common equity. Beyond the expected $45 million annual cash dividend, we expect to have ample cash for other purposes, including stock buybacks, investments and/or deleveraging.

LLA’s Director Emeritus Dr. John Malone, Executive Chairman Mike Fries, and President and CEO Balan Nair have each indicated their intention to be long-term holders of the preferred shares both directly and indirectly.

Business Highlights

  • Liberty Caribbean: Full quarter of hurricane impact

In late October 2025, Hurricane Melissa impacted portions of Jamaica, causing significant damage to homes and network infrastructure. As a result, at year-end 2025 we reduced our RGUs by approximately 136,000, comprised of 65,000 fixed-line telephony, 57,000 broadband internet and 14,000 video subscribers, and reduced our homes passed and customer relationships by 133,000 and 57,000, respectively. These adjustments related to RGUs where, at the time, we did not expect to restore fixed services in the near term. Our December 31, 2025 RGU count included approximately 86,000 RGUs that were not receiving service as of the end of the year, but were expected to be restored in the near term, and for which we did not recognize any revenue following Hurricane Melissa. As of March 31, 2026, we still include in the count approximately 50,000 RGUs, which is comprised of 25,000 broadband internet, 19,000 fixed-line telephony, and 6,000 video subscribers, that continue to be offline and are expected to be back online in the near term. This is an improvement of approximately 36,000 RGUs as compared to December 31, 2025.

N.M. – Not Meaningful.

  • Reported and rebased revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was flat and 1% lower as compared to the corresponding prior-year periods, respectively.

    • Strong growth at Liberty Networks was offset by declines in Liberty Caribbean and Liberty Costa Rica.

Q1 2026 Revenue Growth – Segment Highlights

(All growth rates are year-over-year unless otherwise specified)

  • Liberty Caribbean: revenue decreased 3% on both a reported and rebased basis, driven by a full quarter impact of Hurricane Melissa. For the first quarter we estimate that Hurricane Melissa negatively impacted revenue by $12 million on an underlying basis, which was partly offset by $6 million of revenue for services rendered to customers immediately following the hurricane that was believed to be uncertain of collection in 2025.

    • We have seen continued solid momentum in mobile, excepting only for a seasonally lighter Q1 sequentially on prepaid. Postpaid volumes and prepaid pricing continue to be supportive in Jamaica and across Liberty Caribbean more broadly. This contributed positively to residential mobile service revenue for the segment, with the overall decline of 1% for total residential mobile revenue reflecting lower inbound roaming revenue and lower handset sales.

    • Residential fixed revenue declined by 8% mainly due to the headwind from offline and lost subscribers from Hurricane Melissa.

    • B2B revenue increased by 1% driven by the aforementioned revenue recovery.

  • C&W Panama: revenue decreased by 1% in Q1. Total residential revenue grew 1% and in-line with the prior quarter. Mobile postpaid revenue, in particular, remains supportive on the back of 10% subscriber growth. While we had a very strong performance in the prior quarter in B2B, in the seasonally quieter Q1 we reported a 47% sequential decline.

  • Liberty Networks: revenue increased by 10% and 7% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. This was driven principally by our Wholesale business and strong underlying demand for subsea capacity. Following a strong contribution in the prior quarter, project revenue was more limited in Q1, reflecting the timing of project milestones.

  • Liberty Puerto Rico: revenue was 1% lower in Q1. This reflected a 1% increase in residential mobile revenue, supported by handset sales and inbound roaming, offset by a 2% decrease in residential fixed revenue. The residential fixed revenue decline reflected the lower subscriber base, notwithstanding the better RGU momentum this quarter, partly offset by higher ARPU following last year’s price increase.

  • Liberty Costa Rica: revenue was flat on a reported basis and fell 4% on a rebased basis. We continued to grow residential mobile revenue, up 2% on a rebased basis, on the back of strong postpaid subscriber momentum. This was, however, more than offset by the residential fixed business which saw revenue fall 18% on a rebased basis. While we continue to see competitive pressure on residential fixed ARPU, we note that the primary driver of this decline resulted from lower sales on our buy-to-own (“BTO”) model for equipment.

Operating Income

  • We reported operating incomeof$145 millionand$128 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

    • The improvement for the three month comparison is primarily due to a decrease in (i) depreciation and amortization, and (ii) impairment, restructuring and other operating items.

  • Adjusted OIBDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was flat on a reported basis and declined by 1% on a rebased basis as compared to the corresponding prior-year period.

    • We saw strong expansion in Adjusted OIBDA from Puerto Rico, with declines mainly at Liberty Caribbean, Liberty Networks and Liberty Costa Rica. The headwinds from Hurricane Melissa were $13 million at the Adjusted OIBDA level in the first quarter. On a net basis, reflecting the $6 million revenue recovery, the headwind was $8 million.

    • In addition to the impact of the hurricane, phasing on certain B2B projects presented headwinds to Adjusted OIBDA in Q1 on a year-over-year basis. Across the group, we continue to execute on a number of cost initiatives which should bear fruit during 2026.

Q1 2026 Adjusted OIBDA Growth – Segment Highlights

(All growth rates are year-over-year unless otherwise specified)

  • Liberty Caribbean: Adjusted OIBDA fell by 6% resulting from the drag of Hurricane Melissa.

  • C&W Panama: Adjusted OIBDA fell by 1% in Q1, tracking the revenue performance over the period.

  • Liberty Networks: Adjusted OIBDA decreased by 5% reflecting the timing of project-related costs booked this quarter.

  • Liberty Puerto Rico: Adjusted OIBDA increased by 12%. The improvement reflects a return to more normalized bad debt expense levels this quarter, as well as the aggressive cost-out program run through 2025, and the streamlining of various operating structures and processes, which together more than offset the small revenue decline.

  • Liberty Costa Rica: Adjusted OIBDA declined by 4% and 8% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively, primarily reflecting the revenue decline in the period. We continue to focus on cost reduction initiatives in Costa Rica, which will yield benefits in 2026.

Glossary

Adjusted OIBDA Operating income or loss before share-based compensation and other Employee Incentive Plan-related expense, depreciation and amortization, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment, restructuring and other operating items. Other operating items include (i) gains and losses on the disposition of long-lived assets, (ii) third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions, including legal, advisory and due diligence fees, as applicable, and (iii) other acquisition-related items, such as gains and losses on the settlement of contingent consideration.

Adjusted OIBDA Margin – Calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenue for the applicable period.

ARPU – Average revenue per unit refers to the average monthly subscription revenue (subscription revenue excludes interconnect, mobile handset sales and late fees) per average customer relationship or mobile subscriber, as applicable. ARPU per average customer relationship is calculated by dividing the average monthly subscription revenue from residential fixed and SOHO fixed services by the average of the opening and closing balances for customer relationships for the indicated period. ARPU per average mobile subscriber is calculated by dividing the average monthly mobile service revenue by the average of the opening and closing balances for mobile subscribers for the indicated period. Unless otherwise indicated, ARPU per customer relationship or mobile subscriber is not adjusted for currency impacts. ARPU per average RGU is calculated by dividing the average monthly subscription revenue from the applicable residential fixed service by the average of the opening and closing balances of the applicable RGUs for the indicated period. Unless otherwise noted, ARPU in this release is considered to be ARPU per average customer relationship or mobile subscriber, as applicable. Customer relationships, mobile subscribers and RGUs of entities acquired during the period are normalized.

Consolidated Debt and Finance Lease Obligations to Operating Income Ratio – Defined as total principal amount of debt outstanding (including liabilities related to vendor financing, debt related to the Tower Transactions, other debt and finance lease obligations) to annualized operating income from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.

Consolidated Net Debt and Finance Lease Obligations to Operating Income Ratio – Defined as total principal amount of debt outstanding (including liabilities related to vendor financing, debt related to the Tower Transactions, other debt and finance lease obligations) less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash related to debt to annualized operating income from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.

Customer Relationships – The number of customers who receive at least one of our video, internet or telephony services that we count as RGUs, without regard to which or to how many services they subscribe. To the extent that RGU counts include equivalent billing unit (“EBU”) adjustments, we reflect corresponding adjustments to our customer relationship counts. For further information regarding our EBU calculation, see Additional General Notes below. Customer relationships generally are counted on a unique premises basis. Accordingly, if an individual receives our services in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual generally will count as two customer relationships. We exclude mobile-only customers from customer relationships.

Fully-swapped Borrowing Cost – Represents the weighted average interest rate on our debt (excluding finance leases and including vendor financing obligations, debt related to the Tower Transactions and other debt), including the effects of derivative instruments, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, but excluding the impact of financing costs.

Homes Passed – Homes, residential multiple dwelling units or commercial units that can be connected to our networks without materially extending the distribution plant. Certain of our homes passed counts are based on census data that can change based on either revisions to the data or from new census results.

Internet (Broadband) RGU – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives internet services over our network.

Leverage – Our gross and net leverage ratios, each a non-GAAP measure, are defined as total debt (total principal amount of debt outstanding, including liabilities related to vendor financing, debt related to the Tower Transactions, other debt and finance lease obligations, net of projected derivative principal-related cash payments (receipts)) and net debt to annualized Adjusted OIBDA of the latest two quarters. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash related to debt. For purposes of these calculations, debt is measured using swapped foreign currency rates, consistent with the covenant calculation requirements of our subsidiary debt agreements.

Mobile Subscribers – Our mobile subscriber count represents the number of active subscriber identification module (“SIM”) cards in service rather than services provided. For example, if a mobile subscriber has both a data and voice plan on a smartphone this would equate to one mobile subscriber. Alternatively, a subscriber who has a voice and data plan for a mobile handset and a data plan for a laptop (via a dongle) would be counted as two mobile subscribers. Customers who do not pay a recurring monthly fee are excluded from our mobile telephony subscriber counts after periods of inactivity ranging from 30 to 90 days, based on industry standards within the respective country. In a number of countries, our mobile subscribers receive mobile services pursuant to prepaid contracts.

Property and Equipment Addition Categories

  • Customer Premises Equipment: Includes capitalizable equipment and labor, materials and other costs directly associated with the installation of such CPE;

  • New Build & Upgrade: Includes capitalizable costs of network equipment, materials, labor and other costs directly associated with entering a new service area and upgrading our existing network;

  • Capacity: Includes capitalizable costs for network capacity required for growth and services expansions from both existing and new customers. This category covers Core and Access parts of the network and includes, for example, fiber node splits, upstream/downstream spectrum upgrades and optical equipment additions in our international backbone connections;

  • Baseline: Includes capitalizable costs of equipment, materials, labor and other costs directly associated with maintaining and supporting the business. Relates to areas such as network improvement, property and facilities, technical sites, information technology systems and fleet; and

  • Product & Enablers: Discretionary capitalizable costs that include investments (i) required to support, maintain, launch or innovate in new customer products, and (ii) in infrastructure, which drive operational efficiency over the long term.

Proportionate Net Leverage Ratio (C&W) – Calculated in accordance with C&W’s Credit Agreement, taking into account the ratio of outstanding indebtedness (subject to certain exclusions) less cash and cash equivalents to EBITDA (subject to certain adjustments) for the last two quarters annualized, with both indebtedness and EBITDA reduced proportionately to remove any noncontrolling interests’ share of the C&W group.

Revenue Generating Unit (RGU) – RGU is separately a video RGU, internet RGU or telephony RGU. A home, residential multiple dwelling unit, or commercial unit may contain one or more RGUs. For example, if a residential customer in Puerto Rico subscribed to our video service, fixed-line telephony service and broadband internet service, the customer would constitute three RGUs. RGUs are generally counted on a unique premises basis such that a given premises does not count as more than one RGU for any given service. On the other hand, if an individual receives one of our services in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual will count as two RGUs for that service. Each bundled video, internet or telephony service is counted as a separate RGU regardless of the nature of any bundling discount or promotion. Non-paying subscribers are counted as RGUs during their free promotional service period. Some of these subscribers may choose to disconnect after their free service period. Services offered without charge on a long-term basis (e.g., VIP subscribers or free service to employees) generally are not counted as RGUs. We do not include subscriptions to mobile services in our externally reported RGU counts. In this regard, our RGU counts exclude our separately reported postpaid and prepaid mobile subscribers.

SOHO – Small office/home office customers.

Telephony RGU – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives voice services over our network. Telephony RGUs exclude mobile subscribers.

Tower Transactions – Transactions entered into during 2023 associated with certain of our mobile towers across various markets that (i) have terms of 15 or 20 years and did not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a sale and leaseback and (ii) also include “build to suit” sites that we are obligated to construct.

U.S. GAAP – Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Video RGU – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives our video service over our network, primarily via a digital video signal while subscribing to any recurring monthly service that requires the use of encryption-enabling technology. Video RGUs that are not counted on an EBU basis are generally counted on a unique premises basis. For example, a subscriber with one or more set-top boxes that receives our video service in one premises is generally counted as just one RGU.

Additional General Notes

Most of our operations provide telephony, broadband internet, data, video or other B2B services. Certain of our B2B service revenue is derived from SOHO customers that pay a premium price to receive enhanced service levels along with video, internet or telephony services that are the same or similar to the mass marketed products offered to our residential subscribers. All mass marketed products provided to SOHO customers, whether or not accompanied by enhanced service levels and/or premium prices, are included in the respective RGU and customer counts of our operations, with only those services provided at premium prices considered to be “SOHO RGUs” or “SOHO customers.” To the extent our existing customers upgrade from a residential product offering to a SOHO product offering, the number of SOHO RGUs and SOHO customers will increase, but there is no impact to our total RGU or customer counts. With the exception of our B2B SOHO customers, we generally do not count customers of B2B services as customers or RGUs for external reporting purposes.

Certain of our residential and commercial RGUs are counted on an EBU basis, including residential multiple dwelling units and commercial establishments, such as bars, hotels, and hospitals, in Puerto Rico. Our EBUs are generally calculated by dividing the bulk price charged to accounts in an area by the most prevalent price charged to non-bulk residential customers in that market for the comparable tier of service. As such, we may experience variances in our EBU counts solely as a result of changes in rates.

While we take appropriate steps to ensure that subscriber and homes passed statistics are presented on a consistent and accurate basis at any given balance sheet date, the variability from country to country in (i) the nature and pricing of products and services, (ii) the distribution platform, (iii) billing systems, (iv) bad debt collection experience and (v) other factors add complexity to the subscriber and homes passed counting process. We periodically review our subscriber and homes passed counting policies and underlying systems to improve the accuracy and consistency of the data reported on a prospective basis. Accordingly, we may from time to time make appropriate adjustments to our subscriber and homes passed statistics based on those reviews.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

We include certain financial measures in this press release that are considered non-GAAP measures, including (i) Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA Margin, each on a consolidated basis, (ii) Adjusted Free Cash Flow, (iii) rebased revenue and rebased Adjusted OIBDA growth rates, (iv) consolidated leverage ratios, and (v) Adjusted OIBDA less property and equipment additions on a consolidated basis. The following sections set forth reconciliations of the nearest GAAP measure to our non-GAAP measures, as well as information on how and why management of the Company believes such information is useful to an investor.

Adjusted OIBDA

On a consolidated basis, Adjusted OIBDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is the primary measure used by our CODM, our Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate segment operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA is also a key factor that is used by our internal decision makers to determine how to allocate resources to segments. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted OIBDA is a meaningful measure because it represents a transparent view of our recurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allows management to (i) readily view operating trends, (ii) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between segments and (iii) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different countries in which we operate. We believe our Adjusted OIBDA measure is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our performance with the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although our measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. Adjusted OIBDA should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss, net earnings or loss and other U.S. GAAP measures of income or loss.

Adjusted OIBDA Less Property and Equipment Additions

We define Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions, which is a non-GAAP measure, as Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions on an accrual basis. Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions is a meaningful measure because it provides (i) a transparent view of Adjusted OIBDA that remains after our capital spend, which we believe is important to take into account when evaluating our overall performance and (ii) a comparable view of our performance relative to other telecommunications companies. Our Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions measure may differ from how other companies define and apply their definition of similar measures. Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not substitute for, U.S. GAAP Measure of income included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

A reconciliation of our operating income or loss to total Adjusted OIBDA, and Adjusted OIBDA less property and equipment additions is presented in the following table:

Adjusted Free Cash Flow Definition and Reconciliation

We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Adjusted FCF), a non-GAAP measure, as net cash provided by our operating activities, plus (i) cash payments for third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions, (ii) expenses financed by an intermediary, and (iii) proceeds received in connection with handset receivables securitization, less (a) capital expenditures, net, (b) principal payments on amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries, (c) principal payments on finance leases, (d) repayments made associated with a handset receivables securitization, and (e) distributions to noncontrolling interest owners. We believe that our presentation of Adjusted FCF provides useful information to our investors because this measure can be used to gauge our ability to service debt and fund new investment opportunities. Adjusted FCF should not be understood to represent our ability to fund discretionary amounts, as we have various mandatory and contractual obligations, including debt repayments, which are not deducted to arrive at this amount. Investors should view Adjusted FCF as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures of liquidity included in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following table provides the reconciliation of our net cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted FCF for the indicated period:

For purposes of our consolidated statements of cash flows, expenses financed by an intermediary, including value-added taxes, are treated as operating cash outflows and financing cash inflows when the expenses are incurred. When we pay the financing intermediary, we record financing cash outflows in our consolidated statements of cash flows. For purposes of our Adjusted FCF definition, we add back the operating cash outflows when these financed expenses are incurred and deduct the financing cash outflows when we pay the financing intermediary.

Rebase Information

Rebase growth rates are a non-GAAP measure. For purposes of calculating rebased growth rates on a comparable basis for all businesses that we owned during the current year, we reflect the translation of our rebased amounts for the prior-year period at the applicable average foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate our results for the corresponding current-year period.

The rebased growth percentages have been presented as a basis for assessing growth rates on a comparable basis and should be viewed as measures of operating performance that are a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP reported growth rates.

The following tables provide the aforementioned adjustments made to the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA amounts for the period indicated, to derive our rebased growth rates. Due to rounding, certain rebased growth rate percentages may not recalculate.

In the tables set forth below:

  • reported percentage changes are calculated as current period measure, as applicable, less prior-period measure divided by prior-period measure; and

  • rebased percentage changes are calculated as current period measure, as applicable, less rebased prior-period measure divided by rebased prior-period measure.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation from reported revenue to rebased revenue and related change calculations.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation for Consolidated Leverage Ratios

We have set forth below our consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios. Our consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios (Consolidated Leverage Ratios), each a non-GAAP measure, are defined as (i) the principal amount of debt and finance lease obligations less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash related to debt divided by (ii) last two quarters of annualized Adjusted OIBDA. We generally use Adjusted OIBDA for the last two quarters annualized when calculating our Consolidated Leverage Ratios to maintain as much consistency as possible with the calculations established by our debt covenants included in the credit facilities or bond indentures for our respective borrowing groups, which are predominantly determined on a last two quarters annualized basis. For purposes of these calculations, adjusted total debt and finance lease obligations is measured using swapped foreign currency rates. We believe our consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios are useful because they allow our investors to consider the aggregate leverage on the business inclusive of any leverage at the Liberty Latin America level, not just at each of our operations. Investors should view consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios as supplements to, and not substitutes for, the ratios calculated based upon measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of the numerator and denominator used to calculate the consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are set forth below:

Operating income or loss is the closest U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted OIBDA, as discussed in Adjusted OIBDA above. Accordingly, we have presented consolidated debt and finance lease obligations to operating income and consolidated net debt and finance lease obligations to operating income as the most directly comparable financial ratios to our non-GAAP consolidated leverage and consolidated net leverage ratios.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations for Our Borrowing Groups

The financial statements of each of our borrowing groups are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We include certain financial measures for our C&W, Liberty Puerto Rico and Liberty Costa Rica borrowing groups in this press release that are considered non-GAAP measures, including: (i) Adjusted OIBDA; (ii) Adjusted OIBDA Margin; (iii) Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA; (iv) rebased revenue and (v) rebased Adjusted OIBDA.

Adjusted OIBDA for our borrowing groups is defined as operating income or loss before share-based compensation and other Employee Incentive Plan-related expense, depreciation and amortization, related-party fees and allocations, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment, restructuring and other operating items. Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA is defined as Adjusted OIBDA less the noncontrolling interests’ share of Adjusted OIBDA. We believe these measures at the borrowing group level are useful to investors because they are one of the bases for comparing our performance with the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although our measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. These measures should be viewed as measures of operating performance that are a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss, net earnings or loss and other U.S. GAAP measures of income.

Evergy Announces First Quarter 2026 Results, Announces New Large Customer, Declares Quarterly Dividend and Reaffirms 2026 Guidance

Evergy Announces First Quarter 2026 Results, Announces New Large Customer, Declares Quarterly Dividend and Reaffirms 2026 Guidance

  • First Quarter 2026 GAAP EPS of $0.64, compared to $0.54 in 2025
  • First Quarter 2026 Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) of $0.69, compared to $0.55 in 2025
  • Declares quarterly dividend of $0.6950 per share
  • Announces signing of fifth large customer electric service agreement (ESA)
  • Reaffirms 2026 Adjusted (non-GAAP) EPS guidance of $4.14 to $4.34

KANSAS CITY, Mo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Evergy, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVRG) today announced first quarter 2026 GAAP earnings of $151.5 million, or $0.64 per share, compared to GAAP earnings of $125.0 million, or $0.54 per share, for the first quarter 2025.

Evergy’s first quarter 2026 adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted earnings per share (non-GAAP) were $161.8 million and $0.69 per share, respectively, compared to $127.8 million and $0.55, respectively, in first quarter 2025. Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted earnings per share (non-GAAP) are reconciled to GAAP earnings in the financial table included in this release.

Relative to the same period in 2025, first quarter 2026 adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) per share benefited from recovery of regulated investments, growth in weather-normalized demand and higher large customer and other revenues. These favorable results were partially offset by mild winter weather, higher operations and maintenance expense, and higher depreciation and amortization expense.

“We continued to advance our large customer strategy in the first quarter and are pleased to announce the signing of an electric service agreement for a large customer project in our Kansas Central service territory,” said David Campbell, chairman and chief executive officer. “Beginning in 2027, the customer will take service under our large load power service (LLPS) tariff, the framework under which new large customers will pay a premium rate that covers their fair share of existing and new system costs to drive affordability benefits for existing customers and enhance economic growth.

“Financial results were solid despite mild weather in the first quarter, and we remain on track to achieve our 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $4.14 to $4.34. We are also reaffirming our long-term adjusted EPS annual growth target of 6% to 8%+ through 2030 off the 2026 midpoint, with the expectation that annual EPS growth will exceed 8% beginning in 2028 and through 2030.”

Earnings Guidance

The Company reaffirmed its 2026 adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) guidance range of $4.14 to $4.34. Additionally, the Company reaffirmed its long-term adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) annual growth target of 6% to 8%+ through 2030 based on the 2026 adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) guidance midpoint of $4.24. The Company expects annual adjusted EPS growth to exceed 8% beginning in 2028 and through 2030. Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) could differ from GAAP EPS for items such as impairments, divestitures, mark-to-market impacts, the impact of regulatory orders, or changes in accounting principles. Evergy management is not able to forecast if any of these items will occur or any amounts that may be reported for future periods. Therefore, Evergy is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for 2026 or future years’ adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) guidance.

Dividend Declaration

The Board of Directors declared a dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.6950 per share payable on June 18, 2026. The dividends are payable to shareholders of record as of May 22, 2026.

Earnings Conference Call

Evergy management will host a conference call Thursday, May 7, 2026, with the investment community at 9:00 a.m. ET (8:00 a.m. CT). To view the webcast and presentation slides, please go to investors.evergy.com. To access via phone, investors and analysts will need to register using this link where they will be provided a phone number and access code.

This earnings announcement, a package of detailed first quarter financial information, the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026, and other filings the Company has made with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available on the Company’s website at http://investors.evergy.com.

Adjusted Earnings (non-GAAP) and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (non-GAAP)

Management believes that adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) are representative measures of Evergy’s recurring earnings, assist in the comparability of results and are consistent with how management reviews performance.

Evergy’s adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $161.8 million or $0.69 per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Evergy’s adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) were recast to conform to the current year calculation of adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP), resulting in adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) of $127.8 million or $0.55 per share.

In addition to net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. and diluted EPS, Evergy’s management uses adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) to evaluate earnings and EPS without:

  1. losses from the repurchase of a portion of Evergy’s Convertible Notes; and

  2. unrealized gains and losses from non-regulated investments in early-stage clean energy and energy solution companies and costs related to the disposal of these investments.

Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) are intended to aid an investor’s overall understanding of results. Management believes that adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) provides a meaningful basis for evaluating Evergy’s operations across periods because it excludes certain items that management does not believe are indicative of Evergy’s ongoing performance or that can create period to period earnings volatility.

Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) are used internally to measure performance against budget and in reports for management and the Evergy Board. Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations or more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report.

The following table provides a reconciliation between net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. and diluted EPS as determined in accordance with GAAP and adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP), respectively.

Adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2025, have been recast to conform to the current year calculation of adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) that exclude these amounts.

prolonged or recurring U.S. federal government shutdowns; changes in U.S. trade policies (including tariffs and other trade measures) and responses from other countries; the ability to build or acquire generation, battery storage and transmission facilities to meet the future demand for electricity from customers;

changes in the energy trading markets in which the Evergy Companies participate, including retroactive repricing of transactions by regional transmission organizations (RTO) and independent system operators; financial market conditions and performance, disruptions in the banking industry, including volatility in interest rates and credit spreads and in availability and cost of capital and the effects on derivatives and hedges and ability to obtain capital to finance large construction projects, nuclear decommissioning trust and pension plan assets and costs; impairments of long-lived assets or goodwill; credit ratings; inflation rates; effectiveness of risk management policies and procedures and the ability of counterparties to satisfy their contractual commitments including new large data center customers;

disruption, costs and uncertainties caused by or related to the actions of individuals or entities, such as activist shareholders or special interest groups, that seek to influence Evergy’s strategic plan, financial results or operations; the impact of changing expectations and demands of the Evergy Companies’ customers, regulators, investors and stakeholders, including differing views on environmental, social and governance concerns; the possibility that strategic initiatives, including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and divestitures, and long-term financial plans, may not create the value that they are expected to achieve in a timely manner or at all; difficulties in maintaining relationships with customers, employees, contractors, regulators or suppliers; the outcome of litigation involving the Evergy Companies; and other risks and uncertainties.

This list of factors is not all-inclusive because it is not possible to predict all factors. You should also carefully consider the information contained in the Evergy Companies’ other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Additional risks and uncertainties are discussed from time to time in current, quarterly and annual reports filed by the Evergy Companies with the SEC. New factors emerge from time to time, and it’s not possible for the Evergy Companies to predict all such factors, nor can the Evergy Companies assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in any forward-looking statement. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. The Evergy Companies undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Fourth Quarter Sales Increased by 26% Year-over-Year to $243 Million

MANCHESTER, N.H., May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. (“Allegro” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ALGM), a global leader in power and sensing semiconductor solutions for motion control and energy efficient systems, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended March 27, 2026.

“We finished fiscal year 2026 with strong momentum, delivering a fifth consecutive quarter of sales growth at $243 million. Non-GAAP EPS nearly tripled year-over-year to $0.17. For the full year, sales grew 23% to $890 million and non-GAAP EPS more than doubled to $0.54. These results reflect strength in Focus Auto sales – including xEV and ADAS – and Data Center, which reached a record 14% of total Q4 sales,” said Mike Doogue, President and CEO of Allegro MicroSystems. “As we enter fiscal 2027, we see demand trends that support continued growth, and remain confident in our ability to execute towards our target financial model.”

Business Outlook

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 ending June 26, 2026, the Company expects total net sales to be in the range of
$245 million to $255 million. At the midpoint of this range, it implies growth in net sales of 23% year-over-year.

The Company also estimates the following results on a non-GAAP basis:

  • Gross Margin is expected to be between 50% and 51%,
  • Operating expenses are expected to be $80 million, plus or minus $2 million, and
  • Diluted Earnings per Share is expected to be between $0.19 and $0.23.

Allegro has not provided a reconciliation of its first fiscal quarter outlook for
non-GAAP Gross Margin, non-GAAP Operating Expenses, and non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share because estimates of all of the reconciling items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts. It is difficult to reasonably provide a forward-looking estimate between such forward-looking non-GAAP measures and the comparable forward-looking U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measures. Certain factors that are materially significant to Allegro’s ability to estimate these items are out of its control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted.

Earnings Webcast

A webcast will be held on Thursday, May 7, 2026 at 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time. Michael C. Doogue, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Derek P. D’Antilio, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will discuss Allegro’s business and financial results.

The webcast will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at investors.allegromicro.com. A recording of the webcast will be posted in the same location shortly after the call concludes and will be available for at least 90 days.

These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Without limiting the foregoing, in some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “aim,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “exploring,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “would,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “seek,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results, performance or achievements, and one should avoid placing undue reliance on such statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations, beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to us. Such beliefs and assumptions may or may not prove to be correct. Additionally, such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various factors, including, but not limited to, those identified in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 28, 2025, as any such factors may be updated from time to time in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: downturns or volatility in general economic conditions; our ability to compete effectively, expand our market share and increase our net sales and profitability; our reliance on a limited number of third-party semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities and suppliers of other materials; any failure to adjust purchase commitments and inventory management based on changing market conditions or customer demand; shifts in our product mix, customer mix or channel mix, which could negatively impact our gross margin; the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, including the analog segment in which we compete; any downturn or disruption in the automotive market or industry; our ability to successfully integrate the acquisition of other companies or technologies and products into our business; our ability to compensate for decreases in average selling prices of our products and increases in input costs; our ability to manage any sustained yield problems or other delays at our third-party wafer fabrication facilities or in the final assembly and test of our products; our ability to accurately predict our quarterly net sales and operating results and meet the expectations of investors; our dependence on manufacturing operations in the Philippines; our reliance on distributors to generate sales; events beyond our control impacting us, our key suppliers or our manufacturing partners; our ability to develop new product features or new products in a timely and cost-effective manner; our dependence on growth in the end markets that use our products and the impact that slowdowns in such growth could have on our financial results; the loss of one or more significant customers; our ability to identify, enter and expand in new markets, and to generate returns on such investments; uncertainties related to the design win process and our ability to recover design and development expenses and to generate timely or sufficient net sales or margins; changes in government trade policies, including the imposition of export restrictions and tariffs; our exposures to warranty claims, product liability claims and product recalls; our dependence on international customers and operations; the availability of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives on end-user demands for certain products; risks, liabilities, costs and obligations related to governmental regulations and other legal obligations, including export/trade control, privacy, data protection, information security, cybersecurity, consumer protection, environmental and occupational health and safety, antitrust, anti-corruption and anti-bribery, product safety, environmental protection, employment matters and tax; the risk of unsolicited acquisition proposals; the volatility of currency exchange rates; our ability to raise capital to support our growth strategy; our indebtedness may limit our flexibility to operate our business; our ability to retain key and highly skilled personnel; the impact of restructuring activities on our business and operating results; our ability to protect our proprietary technology and inventions through patents or trade secrets; our ability to commercialize our products without infringing third-party intellectual property rights; disruptions or breaches of our information technology systems or confidential information or those of our third-party service providers; any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; changes in tax rates or the adoption of new tax legislation; the negative impacts of sustained inflation on our business; the risks presented by climate change; the risks related to ESG matters; and other events beyond our control. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties.

You should read this press release and the documents that we reference completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, and except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to measures of, financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their most directly comparable GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of the presented non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

This press release may not be reproduced, forwarded to any person or published, in whole or in part.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the measures presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we regularly review other measures, defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, prepare financial forecasts and make strategic decisions. The key measures we consider are non-GAAP Gross Profit, non-GAAP Gross Margin, non-GAAP Operating Expenses, non-GAAP Operating Income, non-GAAP Operating Margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP Profit before Tax, non-GAAP Income Tax Provision (Benefit), non-GAAP Effective Tax Rate, non-GAAP Net Income Attributable to Allegro MicroSystems, Inc, non-GAAP Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share, non-GAAP Free Cash Flow, and non-GAAP Free Cash Flow as a percentage of net sales (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”). These Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide supplemental information regarding our operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or that occur relatively infrequently and/or that management considers to be unrelated to our core operations, and in the case of non-GAAP Income Tax Provision (Benefit), management believes that this non-GAAP measure of income taxes provides it with the ability to evaluate the non-GAAP Income Tax Provision (Benefit) across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of special items and discrete items, which may vary in size and frequency. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are used by both management and our board of directors, together with the comparable GAAP information, in evaluating our current performance and planning our future business activities.

The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP financial measures, such as gross profit, gross margin, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Also, in the future we may incur expenses or charges, such as those being adjusted in the calculation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Our presentation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures exclude costs related to acquisition and related integration expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring actions, related-party activities and other non-operational costs.


Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

In calculating the non-GAAP Income Tax Provision (Benefit), we adjust for the tax effect of adjustments to GAAP results which represents the estimated income tax effect of the adjustments to non-GAAP Profit before Tax described below. We also adjust for any discrete tax items and the impact of non-recurring tax law changes to ensure the non-GAAP Income Tax Rate (“NG ETR”) reflects future operations.

Our fiscal year 2026 and 2027 NG ETR excludes the impact of the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s one-time research and development amortization election which accelerates the amortization of previously capitalized domestic research and development over a two-year period. The NG ETR is applied to non-GAAP Profit before Tax to arrive at the tax effect of adjustments to GAAP results.
