Laser
Photonics Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Laser
Shield Anti-Drone System Selected by U.S. Department of War; Company Fortifies Balance Sheet and Simplifies Capital Structure Through
Strategic Warrant Inducements
ORLANDO,
FL – June 11, 2026 – Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ: LASE) (“Laser Photonics” or the “Company”),
a global leader in laser systems for industrial and defense applications, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2026.
Key
First Quarter Fiscal 2026 and Subsequent Operational Highlights:
Defense
breakthrough with the U.S. Department of War. The Company’s Laser Shield Anti-Drone System (LSAD), developed with affiliate
Fonon Technologies, advanced from prototype to formal government recognition, selected by the U.S. Department of War under the MEIA “Vulcan”
Call for Solutions as a top submission in the Counter-C5ISR-T category and invited to a technical exchange with government engineers.
LSAD was also showcased at Special Operations Forces (SOF) Week 2026 and the Capitol Hill Defense Outlook Summit, generating strong engagement
across multiple Program Executive Offices.
Launched
a new DefenseTech product line. Together with Fonon Technologies, the Company introduced a family of DefenseTech laser systems for
military maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and logistics — including the Missile Laser Rust Inhibitor (MLRI), portable Marlin
laser cleaners, the Blaster Cabinet 4020, and a compact marking laser — and demonstrated successful validation of its DefenseTech
laser cleaning systems in a defense MRO environment.
Expanded
commercial momentum and entered medical device manufacturing. New orders spanned pharmaceutical, medical device, energy, and industrial
markets, including a $0.25 million custom laser-drilling system order from Johnson & Johnson marking the Company’s entry into
medical device manufacturing, a $0.5 million order from a U.S. power utility, a $0.5 million CMS laser system for a medical device manufacturer,
an OEM-customized marking system for a European industrial project, and a repeat CleanTech® deployment with Cummins.
Strengthened
the balance sheet and regained Nasdaq compliance. The Company generated approximately $6.1 million in net proceeds during the quarter
from its February 2026 public offering and subsequent warrant exercises and inducements — plus approximately $3.6 million more
subsequent to quarter close in April 2026 — and used the proceeds to repay all past-due notes payable.
Completed
manufacturing consolidation. Consolidated all manufacturing operations into the Company’s state-of-the-art Lake Mary, Florida
facility, a move expected to generate nearly $1 million in annualized cost savings and simplify the Company’s cost structure heading
into 2026.
Management
Commentary
Wayne
Tupuola, Chief Executive Officer of Laser Photonics, commented: “The first quarter was a period of decisive strategic and financial
progress, even as the timing of equipment deliveries weighed on near-term revenue. We meaningfully strengthened our balance sheet, raising
approximately $6.1 million in net proceeds during the quarter and roughly $3.6 million more in April, which allowed us to repay all of
our past-due debt and strengthen our working capital position. With a simpler capital structure and our manufacturing now consolidated
into our state-of-the-art facility in Lake Mary, we are a leaner and more focused organization than we were a year ago.
“Our
most exciting progress is in defense. Our Laser Shield Anti-Drone System, developed with Fonon Technologies, was selected by the U.S.
Department of War under the MEIA Vulcan Call for Solutions as a top submission in the Counter-C5ISR-T category, earning an invitation
to a technical exchange with government engineers. Combined with the launch of our new DefenseTech product line for military maintenance
and logistics and strong engagement at SOF Week 2026, we believe defense represents a significant and durable growth vector for the Company.
“While
first quarter revenue reflected the timing of customer projects and equipment deliveries, our order book continued to build, with contract
liabilities and deferred revenue rising to approximately $4.2 million combined at quarter-end. We also expanded into medical device manufacturing
with an initial order from Johnson & Johnson and added key leadership, including our new Chief Financial Officer, Roman Franklin.
We enter the balance of 2026 with a stronger foundation, a growing defense pipeline, and clear priorities to convert our backlog into
higher-margin revenue,” concluded Tupuola.
First
Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Total
net sales for the first quarter of 2026 were $0.9 million, as compared to $2.3 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was
primarily attributable to lower equipment deliveries during the period and the timing of customer purchasing decisions, project execution
schedules, and revenue recognition milestones.
Gross
loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $0.4 million, as compared to gross profit of $0.9 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decline
primarily reflected the lower sales volume relative to the Company’s manufacturing cost base, including production costs that were
under-absorbed at reduced revenue levels.
Total
operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $2.4 million, essentially flat as compared to $2.5 million in the same year-ago
quarter, reflecting continued cost discipline.
Net
loss for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $2.9 million, or $(0.11) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.7
million, or $(0.12) per share, in the same year-ago quarter.
The
Company ended the quarter with $1.6 million in cash, up from $0.7 million at December 31, 2025. During the quarter, the Company repaid
all past-due notes payable, including related-party borrowings, and strengthened its working capital position. In April 2026, the Company
raised an additional $3.6 million in net proceeds through further warrant inducements.
