Management Commentary

“Boxlight has made meaningful progress in improving operational efficiency and aligning our cost structure with Fiscal Year 2026 revenue expectations,” said Ryan Zeek, Chief Financial Officer. “At the same time, we have strengthened our product portfolio by moving away from proprietary network packages toward more scalable, SIP based solutions. While global trade policies continue to impact component costs, our diversified mix of audio, communications, video, and software solutions, along with a geographically broad customer base, positions Boxlight favorably within the industry. We also took proactive steps to absorb IEEPA tariff related costs in 2025 rather than passing them through to customers, which was reflected in our Q1 2026 cost of goods sold. Our continued execution and innovation have been recognized externally as well, with Boxlight named to TIME’s list of the Top 250 EdTech Companies for the third consecutive year.”

“Technology refresh cycles and the ongoing shift toward digital learning continue to support long term demand,” Mr. Zeek added. “While near term pressures remain, we expect a recovery in spending as deferred demand returns. With a proven portfolio, operational discipline, and consistent industry recognition, Boxlight is well positioned to capitalize on this opportunity.”

According to Futuresource Consulting, global unit demand for 2026 is expected to remain consistent with 2025 levels, aligning with Boxlight’s Q1 2026 performance and reinforcing expectations for stabilization in the broader market.

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 (Q1’26) vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 (Q1’25)

Total revenues were $22.4 million as compared to $22.4 million for the first quarter last year, resulting in a 0.1% increase. The increase in revenues was driven by higher sales of interactive flat panel displays.

Cost of revenues were $15.5 million as compared to $14.4 million for the first quarter last year, resulting in a 7.8% increase. The increase in cost of revenues was attributable to the increase in units sold and a $1.5 million increase in customs expense.

Gross profit was $6.9 million for Q1’26 compared to $8.0 million for Q1’25, a decrease of 13.7%. Gross profit margin was 30.9% for Q1’26 and 35.9% for Q1’25. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily related to increases in pricing pressure within the industry compared to the prior year quarter and an increase in customs expense.

General and administrative expenses for Q1’26 were $8.4 million, representing 37.2% of revenue as compared to $7.6 million representing 33.8% of revenue for Q1’25. The increase in general and administrative expenses in Q1’26 was due to increases in professional fees of $0.5 million and other expenses of $0.5 million, offset by a $0.3 million decrease in contract and consulting expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for Q1’26 were $2.6 million, representing 11.4% of revenue as compared to $2.5 million representing 11.0% of revenue for Q1’25.

Research and development expenses for Q1’26 and Q1’25 were $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and represented 4.2% and 4.1% of revenue, respectively. Research and development expense primarily consists of costs associated with the development of proprietary technology. The increase was attributable to the allocation of certain general and administrative expenses to new and ongoing research and development projects.

Other expense, net for Q1’26 was $2.0 million as compared to $0.5 million for Q1’25, representing an increase of $1.5 million. The increase in other expense was primarily driven by the change in fair value of common warrants in Q1’25, offset by the decrease in interest expense on our term loan in Q1’26.

Net loss increased $3.3 million to $(6.5) million and was a result of the changes noted above. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $(6.8) million in Q1’26 compared to $(3.6) million in Q1’25, after deducting fixed dividends recorded for Series B preferred shareholders of approximately $0.3 million in both years.

Total comprehensive loss was $(6.7) million for Q1’26 compared to $(2.7) million for Q1’25, reflecting the effect of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments on consolidation, with the net effect of a $(0.1) million loss and a $0.6 million gain for Q1’26 and Q1’25, respectively.

Basic and diluted Loss per Share for Q1’26 was $(2.25) compared to $(8.45) per basic and diluted share for Q1’25.

EBITDA², a non-GAAP measure, for Q1’26 was $(3.1) million loss, as compared to $1.6 million EBITDA for Q1’25.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q1’26 was $(2.83) million loss, as compared to $0.55 million gain in Q1’25. Adjustments to EBITDA included changes in fair value of common warrants, stock-based compensation expense, gains/losses from the remeasurement of derivative liabilities, severance charges, and the effects of purchase accounting adjustments in connection with prior period acquisitions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and decision-making surrounding pro forma operations, we supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, with EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures of earnings. EBITDA represents net loss before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus stock-based compensation, severance charges, the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, change in fair value of common warrants, purchase accounting impact of inventory markup and fair value adjustments to deferred revenue. Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of our business model. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to assess the strength of the underlying operations of our business. These adjustments, and the non-GAAP financial measures that are derived from them, provide supplemental information to analyze our operations between periods and over time. We find this especially useful when reviewing pro forma results of operations, which include large non-cash amortizations of intangible assets from acquisitions and stock-based compensation. Investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We report our operating results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have disclosed in the table below the results on a constant currency basis to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The term foreign currency exchange rates refers to the exchange rates we use to translate our operating results into U.S. Dollars for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar. Because we are a global company, the foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on our reported results. In general, our reported financial results are affected positively by a weaker U.S. Dollar and are affected negatively by a stronger U.S. Dollar as compared to the foreign currencies in which we conduct our business. References to our operating results on a constant-currency basis mean our operating results without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

We believe disclosure of constant-currency results is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our results by increasing the transparency of our underlying performance by excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. However, constant-currency results are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Constant-currency results have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP, are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Constant-currency results have limitations in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Discussion of the Effect of Constant Currency on Financial Condition

We calculate constant-currency amounts by translating local currency amounts in the current period at actual foreign exchange rates for the prior year period. Our constant-currency results do not eliminate the transaction currency impact of purchases and sales of products in a currency other than the functional currency.
