Lantronix Reports Fiscal Fourth-Quarter and
Full-Year 2026 Financial Results
· Fourth-Quarter
Revenue Increased 8% Year- Over- Year to $31.2 Million
· GAAP
EPS of ($0.01)
· Non-GAAP
EPS of $0.04
· Fiscal
2026 Unmanned Systems Revenue of $12.6 Million, Above the Midpoint of the Prior Guidance Range
· $60 Million in Cash and No Debt at Year-End
· Company Expects Double-Digit Revenue Growth
in Fiscal 2027
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 26, 2026 — Lantronix
Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRX), a global provider of Edge AI and Industrial IoT solutions that power NDAA-compliant unmanned systems,
critical infrastructure and resilient enterprise networks, today reported results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June
30, 2026.
Management Commentary
“Fiscal 2026 was a year of measurable progress for Lantronix,”
said Saleel Awsare, president and CEO of Lantronix. “We returned the core business to growth, significantly strengthened our balance
sheet, and closed the year with our fifth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth. We also established unmanned systems as a
meaningful growth engine, expanded recurring revenue, and continued transforming Lantronix from a broad-based hardware provider into a
more focused, higher-margin solutions platform.
“Today, we are seeing strong momentum across our three strategic
focus areas: unmanned systems, critical infrastructure, and enterprise networking. Unmanned systems grew from a minimal contribution a
year ago to $12.6 million in fiscal 2026 revenue, and we expect the business to represent 15% to 20% of total revenue in fiscal 2027.
As we move further up the technology stack and expand our role across the broader autonomy ecosystem, we believe Lantronix is becoming
the go-to edge compute company for unmanned systems. At the same time, our IoT Systems business is reaccelerating, and the Nero Global
Tracking acquisition is expanding ARR while moving Software & Services above 10% of total revenue on a pro forma basis. We enter fiscal
2027 in the strongest financial position in our company’s history, with multiple engines of profitable growth and confidence in
our ability to deliver double-digit revenue growth in the year ahead.”

power to support combat-proven autonomy software across Group 1 unmanned aerial systems for Ukraine, the United States and allied defense
programs.
○
Partnership with DoD Solution, an Estonian-Ukrainian developer
of onboard drone autonomy platforms, integrating Lantronix’s Qualcomm-based Open-Q™ 6490CS platform with DoD Solution’s

Services to more than 10% of total company revenue.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Lantronix believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information,
when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors
regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s financial condition and results of operations. Management uses
the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends to gain an understanding of our comparative
operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior
to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations
of the non-GAAP financial measures to the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP
financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures
used by other companies. The company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures.
Non-GAAP net loss consists of net loss excluding (i) share-based compensation
and the employer portion of withholding taxes on stock grants, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) interest income (expense), (iv)
other income (expense), (v) income tax provision (benefit), (vi) restructuring, severance and related charges, (vii) acquisition related
costs, (viii) impairment of long-lived assets, (ix) amortization of purchased intangibles, (x) amortization of manufacturing profit in
acquired inventory, (xi) fair value remeasurement of earnout consideration, and (xii) loss on extinguishment of debt.
Non-GAAP EPS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by non-GAAP
weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP EPS, the calculation of GAAP weighted-average shares
outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, which, for GAAP purposes, is treated as proceeds assumed to be
used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.
Guidance on earnings per share growth is provided only on a non-GAAP
basis due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of certain items that have been excluded from the forward-looking
non-GAAP measures, and a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP guidance has not been provided because certain factors that are materially
significant to Lantronix’s ability to estimate the excluded items are not accessible or estimable on a forward-looking basis without
unreasonable effort.

Exhibit 99.2
Transcript of Management’s Prepared Remarks
Intro: Brent Stringham
Good afternoon everyone, and thank you for joining our fiscal fourth
quarter earnings call. Joining me today is our President and Chief Executive Officer Saleel Awsare.
A “live” and archived webcast of today’s call will
be available on the Company’s website. In addition, you can find the call-in details for the phone replay in today’s earnings
release.
During this call, we may make forward-looking statements which involve
risks and uncertainties that could cause our results to differ materially from current expectations.
We encourage you to review the cautionary statements and risk factors
contained in today’s earnings release, which was furnished to the SEC and is available on our website, and other SEC filings such
as our 10-K and 10-Qs. Lantronix undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect future
events or circumstances.
Additionally, during the call, we will discuss non-GAAP financial measures.
Today's earnings release, which is posted in the Investor Relations section of our website, describes the differences between our non-GAAP
and GAAP reporting and presents reconciliations for the non-GAAP financial measures that we use.
With that, I will now turn the call over to Saleel.
Saleel Awsare (Section 1):
Thanks, Brent, and thank you, everyone, for joining today’s call.
The fourth quarter marked a strong finish to fiscal 2026. Over the
course of the year, we transformed our operating model, strengthened our balance sheet, and built the foundation for profitable growth.
We are now seeing the tangible results of that work.
Our continued strong execution drove 8% year-over-year revenue growth
to $31.2 million and a 300% increase in non-GAAP EPS to $0.04. Both metrics were within our guidance ranges. Importantly, our Embedded
IoT Solutions, which includes our drone business, grew 34% year-over-year.
Gross margins remained strong at above 44%, reflecting our teams’
disciplined execution as we accelerate momentum across the business.
Turning to the broader operating environment, starting with Unmanned
Systems. Fiscal 2026 was the year our drone opportunity progressed from early validation to a meaningful growth engine for Lantronix.
We set the foundation in Q4 last year, when we secured our first drone
win with Red Cat, powering Teal Drones’ Black Widow platform for the US Army’s SRR Program. As a Blue UAS-approved platform,
this was a rigorous qualification process, and we believe we won the program because of our deep camera expertise and years of experience
in camera tuning, sensor fusion, and the complex software integration required for military-grade imaging. Our status as a North American
supplier was also a key factor. With NDAA and TAA compliance now table stakes for defense programs, a trusted, domestic supply chain mattered
as much as our deep technical capabilities.
1
That win came against a backdrop of record defense funding, with the
U.S. Department of War earmarking over $13 billion for autonomous systems in 2026 alone, alongside a clear and growing requirement for
secure, U.S.-made technology. From there, we built on that early momentum, adding several customers, including Sightline, Trillium Engineering,
and others, to our drone roster. Over the course of the fiscal year, we scaled our broader Unmanned Systems engagements from roughly 10
in Q1 to over 30 today.
That growth accelerated following a major regulatory shift in December
2025, when the FCC restricted China-based DJI—historically the dominant drone supplier—from introducing new products into
the U.S. market. The move created a significant tailwind for domestic, trusted-supplier platforms like ours and was soon followed by meaningful
U.S. government funding to accelerate the deployment of domestic drone technologies.
And, just a couple of weeks ago, that regulatory momentum was further
reinforced by action from Washington. The President signed a Section 232 proclamation imposing new tariffs on foreign-made drones and
components, aimed at reducing reliance on foreign suppliers and building out domestic manufacturing capacity. While the FCC’s actions
in December focused on restricting new foreign-made drones and components from entering the market, this latest action is broader, directly
targeting the economics of importing drones and related components across the existing market. This is another clear tailwind for domestic,
NDAA-compliant suppliers like Lantronix, and we expect it to accelerate the shift toward domestically manufactured alternatives.
Just as important, we’re seeing the industry’s focus shift
from simply building more drones to making drones increasingly autonomous. At the scale governments and commercial operators envision,
there simply won’t be enough trained pilots to operate every drone, and training new operators takes time. This makes autonomy essential,
and autonomy requires powerful AI compute at the edge – what we call physical AI – and that is exactly where Lantronix fits.
Our edge compute platforms enable the onboard intelligence that allows drones to perceive, navigate, and execute missions autonomously
in GPS-denied environments, positioning us at the center of this long-term transition.
Against this backdrop, we delivered $12.6 million in Unmanned Systems
revenue in fiscal 2026, above the midpoint of our most recent guidance range. Importantly, this momentum extends beyond defense. We are
also seeing growing adoption across commercial, industrial, agricultural, drone-as-first-responder, and counter-UAS applications, reinforcing
the breadth of the unmanned systems opportunity.
Our international expansion is also progressing well, including two
recent partnerships we formed in the Unmanned Systems market.
The first is with DoD Solution, an Estonian-Ukrainian developer of
onboard autonomy technology for drones and other unmanned systems. By combining Lantronix’s edge-computing solutions and engineering
expertise with DoD Solution’s AURA autonomy platform, we are supporting a range of demanding applications. This partnership also
strengthens our presence in Europe and Ukraine, where demand for our solutions continues to grow.
Our second partnership is with AVT Australia, a CACI company that develops
gimballed camera payloads for drone manufacturers. AVT has designed its payload around our system-on-module platform, which is purpose-built
for high-performance AI and robotics applications.
Together, these partnerships demonstrate Lantronix’s growing
presence across the global Unmanned Systems ecosystem.
Additionally, we recently announced a collaboration with Swarmer, a
U.S.-based drone autonomy software company. Together, we are developing a production-ready compute platform that combines Swarmer’s
combat-proven software with roughly four times the onboard processing power focused on Group 1 Unmanned Aerial Systems. This collaboration
highlights the strength of our hardware, software integration, and engineering services, while creating a path to long-term production
revenue as Swarmer scales across U.S. and allied defense programs.
With that, let me turn to our IoT Systems Solutions business. After
navigating several quarters of federal government shutdowns, which created extended procurement cycles, we are beginning to see conditions
improve. Q4 revenue grew 16% sequentially, driven by a recovery in our out-of-band management portfolio, strength in network switches,
and early signs of stabilization in our federal business.
2
Within out-of-band management, we’re seeing growing traction
in the data center space, as edge compute and AI infrastructure deployments accelerate the need for remote monitoring and control of critical
IT and data center equipment. One proof point of this is SambaNova Systems, where our out-of-band solution is deployed as part of their
DataScale platform, a purpose-built AI infrastructure rack for large-scale inference and training workloads. We provide dedicated remote
access to the critical networking and compute infrastructure within that platform.
Moving to our critical infrastructure monitoring vertical. Just over
a month ago, we took another step forward in our platform strategy by acquiring Vecima Networks’ Industrial IoT business, including
its Nero Global Tracking platform, for $11.7 million, which closed this month.
The tuck-in acquisition adds approximately $5 million in annual revenue,
with the majority coming from ARR, and gross margins in the mid-to-high 60% range. Based on the purchase price relative to the asset's
financial profile, we view this as a highly favorable transaction and one that is immediately accretive to earnings. Just as important,
it advances a strategy we’ve been executing deliberately over the past several quarters, layering more software onto our hardware
base to expand recurring revenue.
That strategy is increasingly visible in our revenue mix. Our software
and services mix has steadily increased throughout the year, moving from 5% to 6% of revenue and then to 7% to 8%. With this acquisition,
on a pro forma basis, our software and services revenue mix increases above 10% of total company revenue. This represents a meaningful
step toward a more predictable, higher-margin business model.
Beyond the immediate financial benefits, we see meaningful cross-sell
potential. Nero brings an installed base of roughly 125,000 device tags across fleet, municipal, restoration and industrial asset-tracking
markets, creating a natural opportunity to deploy our cellular gateways, modems, edge compute products and connectivity solutions. Together,
Nero’s software and our hardware provide customers with a more vertically integrated, end-to-end asset monitoring solution.
In summary, I am encouraged by our performance in fiscal 2026 and the
significant progress we achieved. Our focused execution, disciplined operating approach, and strengthened organization are providing tangible
results. We are meaningfully scaling our presence in higher-growth verticals, increasing the contribution of software-enabled recurring
revenue, and continuing to realize operating leverage from a more efficient cost structure.
As we enter fiscal 2027, we believe Lantronix is better positioned
than ever to benefit from the long-term growth trends reshaping edge computing and connectivity. With strong momentum, a differentiated
portfolio, and a clear strategic roadmap, we are excited about the opportunities ahead and remain committed to creating long-term shareholder
value.
With that, I’ll turn the call back to Brent to cover financial
results. Brent?
Brent Stringham:
Thanks, Saleel.
I’ll begin with our fourth quarter and fiscal 2026 financial
results and some of the key drivers behind our performance. After which I’ll provide our outlook for our first fiscal quarter ending
September 30, 2026.
For fiscal 2026, revenue was nearly $121 million, representing 8% growth
over fiscal 2025 revenue of just over $111 million, excluding Gridspertise. Our growth was driven by more than 15% annual growth in Embedded
IoT Solutions, led by Unmanned Systems. As Saleel mentioned, Unmanned Systems revenue reached $12.6 million, above the midpoint of the
$10 million to $14 million range we provided last quarter.
3
Revenue for the fourth quarter was $31.2 million, representing both
sequential and year-over-year growth. IoT Systems Solutions rebounded in the quarter, contributing more than $15 million of revenue after
slower ordering patterns in the prior two quarters related to the government shutdowns in late calendar 2025 and early 2026. As we’ve
said over the past several quarters, we viewed those federal headwinds as timing-related rather than reflective of underlying demand.
The 16% sequential growth we delivered in the fourth quarter reinforces that view.
Turning to our gross margins…
In the fourth quarter, GAAP gross margin was 43.7%, up from 43.1% in
the prior quarter and 40% a year ago. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 44.1%, compared with 43.6% in the prior quarter and 40.6%
a year ago. The year-ago period was impacted by aged inventory charges and higher duties and tariffs.
The sequential improvement reflects a combination of favorable revenue
mix, including stronger performance in Systems Solutions, and the continued focus of our operations team on supply-chain efficiency and
execution. Looking ahead, we believe these efforts, together with our disciplined approach to cost management, should support gross margins
at or near current levels in fiscal 2027.
Let me also briefly address the broader supply environment, which we
continue to monitor closely. Memory availability has tightened and prices have increased as AI infrastructure and hyperscaler data centers
consume a growing share of industry supply. This is an industry-wide dynamic affecting the embedded-compute market broadly and is not
unique to Lantronix.
We believe our early preparation has positioned us well in this constrained
environment. Leveraging our fabless operating model and diversified manufacturing partners, we identified these trends early and proactively
secured supply.
Looking at our expenses and profitability…
GAAP operating expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 were $14
million, slightly down from the $14.1 million in the prior quarter, and down approximately 5% from $14.7 million in the year-ago period.
We continue to observe the leverage in our Opex model based on the actions we took last year, and the ongoing cost discipline that we
are executing on.
GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 improved to $269
thousand, or 1 cent per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $2.6 million, or 7 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. On a non-GAAP
basis, net income of $1.8 million, or 4 cents per share, compares to $1.5 million, or 4 cents per share in the prior quarter, and was
an improvement from the $0.01 per share in the year ago quarter.
Moving to the balance sheet…
We raised just over $44 million in net proceeds during the quarter
through our public and ATM offerings, bringing our year-end cash balance to more than $60 million. We also repaid the remaining $8.7 million
of debt and ended the fiscal year debt-free.
· Our strong balance sheet gives us the flexibility to execute our growth strategy
while remaining disciplined and opportunistic in allocating capital to the highest-return opportunities across R&D, go-to-market initiatives,
and strategic M&A.
· During the current quarter and full fiscal year, we generated positive operating
cash flow of approximately $1.9 million and $9.9 million, respectively.
· Net inventories were $25.8 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $26.4
million last quarter and $26.4 million in the year-ago quarter.
4
Lastly, our outlook for the first quarter of our fiscal 2027, which
ends September 30, 2026, is as follows:
· We expect revenue to be in the range of $31 million to $33 million.
· Non-GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of 4 to 6 cents per share.
With that, I’ll turn it back to Saleel for closing remarks.
Saleel Awsare (Section 2):
Thanks, Brent.
Fiscal 2026 was a year of measurable progress. We returned the core
business to growth, established Unmanned Systems as a meaningful contributor, expanded recurring revenue, and significantly strengthened
our financial position.
Along the way, we continued transforming Lantronix from a broad-based
hardware provider into a focused solutions platform, combining compute, connectivity, physical AI, software, and services at the intelligent
edge.
Unmanned Systems is the clearest proof point. From minimal revenue
contribution a year ago, we delivered $12.6 million in fiscal 2026 after raising our outlook three times. We tripled our active engagements,
expanded our global customer and partner base, and moved further up the technology stack. In fiscal 2027, we expect Unmanned Systems to
represent 15% to 20% of total revenue, with continued growth beyond these levels in subsequent years.
We enter Fiscal 2027 with multiple engines of profitable growth, the
strongest financial position in our history, and confidence in our ability to deliver double-digit revenue growth.
As we continue to move further up the technology stack and expand our
role across the broader autonomy ecosystem, we believe Lantronix is becoming the go-to edge compute company for Unmanned Systems.
And with that, operator, we will now open the call for questions.
