Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 6, 2026
Q2 FY26
TL;DR. Nephros reported record Q2 2026 net revenue of $6.0 million, up 36% year-over-year, with core programmatic revenue up 27% and service revenue nearly tripling; however, reported gross margin benefited from a one-time ~$0.6 million IEEPA tariff refund and operating cash flow declined versus the prior-year quarter.
Bullish
- + Record quarterly net revenue of $6.0 million, up 36% year-over-year.
- + Core programmatic revenue grew approximately 27% year-over-year.
- + Service revenue nearly tripled year-over-year.
- + Net income and adjusted EBITDA roughly quadrupled and roughly tripled, respectively, year-over-year.
- + First-half 2026 revenue grew 21% to $11.2 million with debt-free balance sheet and ~$4.7 million in cash.
Bearish
- − Q2 operating cash flow declined $313,000 year-over-year to $681,000.
- − Underlying gross margin remains pressured by tariffs, weaker dollar, higher shipping, and lower-margin service/commercial mix.
- − First-half 2026 gross margin slipped to ~63% from ~64% as service/commercial mix offset the tariff refund benefit.
- − Q2 results were inflated by a one-time ~$0.6 million IEEPA tariff refund that boosted gross margin by roughly nine percentage points.
- − Six-month operating cash flow swung to a $990,000 use of cash from $1.3 million provided a year earlier.
