Executive summary

SuperCom Q2 FY26 — Record Revenue, Gross Profit, and EBITDA Driven by Electronic Monitoring Expansion

SuperCom delivered a record second quarter, achieving its highest revenue, gross profit, and EBITDA in over eight years, driven by expanding electronic monitoring deployments globally. The company leveraged operational efficiencies and maturing programs to expand gross margins, despite foreign currency headwinds impacting operating income. Strategic capital deployment and a recent capital raise further strengthen the balance sheet, positioning SuperCom for continued growth in both new and existing markets.

Highlights

Revenue increased 13.3% to $8.1 million compared with $7.1 million in Q2 2025.
Gross profit increased 60% to $4.9 million, with gross margin expanding by approximately 90 basis points to 60%.
EBITDA increased 58% to $4 million, marking the highest quarterly EBITDA in over a decade.
Non-GAAP net income increased to $2.9 million compared with $300,000 in the prior year period.
U.S. EM technology annualized recurring revenues (ARR) accelerated by approximately 290% from July 2025 to July 2026.

Concerns

Operating income decreased to $900,000 compared to $1.1 million in the prior year period, largely impacted by Israeli foreign currency headwinds.
Israeli foreign currency headwinds from approximately 17% year-over-year increases in the shekel to U.S. dollar exchange rate impacted Q2 results.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.4 million as of June 30, 2026, down from $9.8 million at the end of 2025 due to strategic capital deployment.

Risks & headwinds

Israeli foreign currency headwinds During the second quarter

approximately 17% year-over-year increases in the average Israeli currency to the U.S. currency exchange rate, the shekel to the dollar

Mitigation:Despite these pressures, we sustained GAAP net income levels at roughly $1.1 million for the quarter, similar to the same quarter in the prior year period.

Lag between contract signing and revenue recognition especially in the U.S.

full deployment can take 6 months or longer

Mitigation:Despite this timing dynamic, the recurring revenue base associated with our U.S. electronic monitoring technology continues to grow.

European revenue fluctuation due to customer ordering cycles between periods

Romania, for example, represented a significant portion of our European revenue in prior periods, but ordering activity temporarily moderated amid political uncertainty.

Mitigation:As our EMEA contract base has grown, Romania, as a single contract, represents less of our revenue blend. The Romanian program remains active... the temporary decline in Romania masked strong growth across the rest of our electronic monitoring business.

Q&A highlights

Will the U.S. market growth accelerate further as the company moves into higher-scale deployments, beyond the current 290% ARR growth?

The U.S. ARR growth has been accelerating (from 180% to 290%). While acceleration might eventually moderate as numbers get larger, growth will continue. The company started with smaller county projects, now at 100-250 units, and expects to scale further, similar to Europe but faster.

“The number has been accelerating this year. I think in the last quarter, we announced up to 180%. Now we're at 290% year-over-year ARR. At some point, naturally, as the numbers get larger and larger, the acceleration will stop and the growth will continue, though.”

Detailed narrative

Operational Efficiency and Margin Expansion

SuperCom's gross margin expanded to 60% due to the maturing economics of its programs, where initial upfront costs are spread across a larger recurring revenue base. The company has consolidated European logistics into a centralized hub in Romania and brought IT and customer support in-house, reducing reliance on subcontractors and improving efficiency. AI capabilities are also being integrated into operations to accelerate development, automate processes, and reduce labor requirements.

U.S. Market Expansion and Centralized Model

The U.S. market is a key growth driver, with SuperCom expanding into 19 new states and securing over 45 new electronic monitoring contracts since mid-2024. The centralized cloud-based platform, integrated inventory management, and 24-hour support in the U.S. allow for efficient and cost-effective program launches, supporting faster deployments and attractive margin potential. The company is seeing project sizes increase from smaller initial deployments to 100-250 simultaneous units, mirroring its earlier European expansion but at a faster pace.

European Market Strength and Strategic Opportunities

Despite temporary moderation in Romania's ordering activity due to political uncertainty, SuperCom's underlying European revenue grew approximately 40% between 2024 and 2025 (excluding Romania's decline). The company has secured over 20 national electronic monitoring program wins across Europe, including all 5 Nordic countries, often displacing long-standing incumbents. Significant future opportunities include Italy and the UK, with the England opportunity valued at over GBP 150 million, where SuperCom is now better positioned due to a strengthened balance sheet and broader track record.

Technology Validation and Competitive Advantage

SuperCom's technology has been validated through rigorous technology-based evaluation processes in markets like Sweden, Germany, Israel, and Norway, where it has displaced incumbents of 20-25 years. The PureSecurity platform's reliability, flexibility, and scalability are highlighted by customer transitions from legacy systems in states like Alabama, Utah, and Virginia. The company's cybersecurity capabilities, backed by ISO 27001 certification and historical expertise, are a critical component in securing sensitive government contracts.

Sweden National Project and Pipeline Momentum

A significant development was the launch of a new national electronic monitoring project in Sweden, with an estimated value ranging from $17 million to $75 million, reflecting potential expansion to 6,000 active offenders and additional capabilities like alcohol monitoring and GPS solutions. This program represents a 6x increase in active offenders compared to the initial 2019 deployment. Momentum continues in the U.S. with recent contract wins in Michigan, Georgia, Ohio, New York, and Kansas, demonstrating increased demand and national footprint expansion.

Balance Sheet Strengthening and Capital Deployment

SuperCom has significantly reduced net debt from nearly $35 million to under $10 million, with long-term debt carrying a blended interest rate of approximately 6% and no cash payments due until late 2028. Cash and cash equivalents were $7.4 million as of June 30, 2026. Subsequent to quarter-end, the company raised $7.5 million in gross proceeds from a common shares-only registered direct offering, further strengthening its financial position for new deployments and pipeline execution.
