• Recurring monitoring revenue grew ~11.7% YoY and gross margin improved by 510 basis points to 80.2%, with the OmniMetrix operating segment delivering $395,000 of operating income and the consolidated company remaining cash-positive and debt-free (cash ~$4.3M).
• Total revenue declined 28.1% YoY to $2.23M, driven by a 55.7% drop in hardware revenue after completion of a large cell‑provider contract, contributing to a Q1 net loss of $77,000.
• Management expects follow‑on hardware orders from that large customer of approximately $350,000–$500,000 in 2026 and expressed optimism about additional deployments that could help offset prior hardware declines.
• Acorn acquired exclusive North American commercialization/distribution rights to AIO Systems products, launched an Infrastructure Solutions (IS) reporting segment with two live demo tower sites and expects AIO average sales to be ~5–6× existing product sales, but the IS business is pre‑revenue (no IS revenue expected in H1 2026) and required a $250,000 upfront payment.
