Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Q1 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of negative $6.0M to negative $4.0M widens from Q4 2025's negative $2.2M, and full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA is guided to remain negative at negative $8.5M to negative $4.5M
  • FY2025 GAAP net loss was $44.4M, and the company remains unprofitable on a GAAP basis
  • Forward-looking reconciliation cites stockholder litigation expenses as a contributor to unpredictable GAAP results
