    • Aerospace & Defense revenue increased 259% year-over-year to $4.1 million, representing 40% of total revenue (up from 18% in the prior year).
    • Growth in Aerospace & Defense was driven by demand in drone, satellite communications, and tactical communications programs.
    • Catalog revenue increased 32% year-over-year to $2.5 million, led by increased demand across a broad range of applications.
    • Infrastructure revenue increased 78% year-over-year to $1.4 million, primarily reflecting higher sales of repeaters, distributed antenna systems, and base stations.
    • Automotive revenue decreased 9% year-over-year to $2.1 million, primarily due to lower GPS/GNSS, SDARS, and V2X sales, partially offset by higher compensator sales; however, it increased 11% sequentially from Q2 2026.

    • An uplisting to the Nasdaq Stock Market is subject to satisfaction of listing requirements, Nasdaq approval, and market conditions, with no assurance of completion.
    • Product backlog can be materially impacted by supply chain constraints, shifts in customer ordering patterns regarding delivery lead times, or order delivery request modifications.
