Mobix Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBX), a U.S.-based provider of advanced connectivity and sensing solutions for aerospace, defense and mission-critical applications, today announced a mid-quarter business update highlighting preliminary, unaudited financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2026.

The preliminary results reflect significant progress in the Company’s ongoing business turnaround, with sharply higher sequential revenue, substantial gross margin expansion, narrowing operating losses and meaningful improvements in key balance-sheet measures. Management anticipates continued revenue growth as the Company builds on its fourth-quarter operating recovery.

Preliminary, Unaudited Financial Highlights

Fourth-Quarter Operating Performance — Sequential Comparison

  • Revenue Surges 129%: Preliminary fourth-quarter revenue increased to approximately $1.81 million from $789,000 in the preceding quarter, exceeding the upper end of the Company’s previously announced revenue guidance range of $1.4 million to $1.8 million.

  • Product Revenue Jumps 171%: Preliminary product revenue increased to approximately $1.43 million from $529,000 in the preceding quarter, reflecting a substantial recovery in the Company’s product business.

  • Gross Margin More Than Triples: Preliminary GAAP gross margin expanded to approximately 44.5% from 12.9% in the preceding quarter, an improvement of approximately 3,160 basis points.

  • Gross Profit Increases Nearly Eightfold: Preliminary GAAP gross profit increased to approximately $804,000 from $102,000 in the preceding quarter, representing growth of approximately 688%.

  • GAAP Operating Loss Narrows 11%: Preliminary GAAP operating loss decreased to approximately $6.56 million from $7.35 million in the preceding quarter, reflecting improved operating performance.

  • Significant Noncash Operating Expenses: Approximately 36% of reported operating loss included noncash based expense of $2.36 million for was stock-based compensation, before considering depreciation and amortization.

  • GAAP Net Loss Declines 46%: Preliminary GAAP net loss decreased to approximately $9.09 million from $16.80 million in the preceding quarter, reflecting improved operating results and changes in nonoperating items.

Full-Year Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights

  • Significant Noncash and Financing-Related Charges: Preliminary fiscal 2026 results included approximately $12.30 million in stock-based compensation, $1.21 million in depreciation and amortization, and $9.91 million in losses associated with the extinguishment of notes payable and issuance of preferred shares and liability-classified warrants. These charges totaled approximately $23.43 million, equivalent to approximately 56% of the Company’s preliminary GAAP net loss of $41.86 million. The depreciation and amortization amount and the cash and noncash components of financing-related losses remain subject to final reconciliation.

Balance Sheet Improvements — Year-Over-Year Comparison

  • Accounts Payable Declines 46%: Preliminary accounts payable decreased approximately $4.11 million to $4.88 million as of September 30, 2026, compared with $8.98 million one year earlier.

  • Total Liabilities Reduced 21%: Preliminary total liabilities declined approximately $7.82 million to $29.63 million from $37.45 million one year earlier, while current liabilities decreased approximately 16%.

  • Stockholders’ Equity Improves $5.2 Million: Preliminary stockholders’ equity increased to approximately $4.87 million as of September 30, 2026, compared with a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $336,000 one year earlier.

Turnaround Gains Momentum as Operating Performance Recovers

The Company’s preliminary fourth-quarter results represent substantial progress in its ongoing business turnaround, with revenue more than doubling sequentially, gross profit increasing nearly eightfold and gross margin expanding by more than 3,100 basis points.

During preceding quarters, working capital constraints limited the Company’s ability to procure critical components, build inventory and fulfill customer orders, contributing to reduced revenue. Progress in addressing these constraints enabled increased production and shipments during the fourth quarter, contributing to the sharp sequential improvement in revenue and gross profit.

The operating recovery was accompanied by meaningful year-over-year balance-sheet improvements, including a nearly 46% reduction in accounts payable, a 21% decline in total liabilities and a $5.2 million improvement in stockholders’ equity.

“Our preliminary fourth-quarter results represent an important milestone in Mobix Labs’ ongoing turnaround,” said Phil Sansone, Chief Executive Officer of Mobix Labs. “Revenue more than doubled sequentially, gross margin expanded from approximately 13% to nearly 45%, and operating losses narrowed. At the same time, we made meaningful progress in reducing liabilities and improving stockholders’ equity. These results demonstrate the progress we are making in restoring operating momentum following earlier working capital constraints. We anticipate continued revenue growth as we build on this recovery and remain focused on improving financial and operating performance.”

Outlook

Management expects continued revenue growth as Mobix Labs builds on its fourth-quarter operating improvements and pursues opportunities across its aerospace, defense and mission-critical markets.

The Company’s ability to sustain its operating recovery and achieve future growth will depend in part on the availability of working capital, continued access to critical components, manufacturing capacity, customer demand and timely fulfillment of customer orders.
