Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 6, 2026
Q2 FY26
TL;DR. Quest returned to year-over-year and sequential revenue (7.6%/3.8% to $64.1M) and Adjusted EBITDA growth in Q2 2026, supported by new customer wins, share-of-wallet expansions, and an 11% reduction in SG&A; however, year-over-year gross profit declined ~6% with gross margin compression to 16.3% from 18.5%, and a $11.0M non-cash goodwill impairment drove a wider GAAP net loss of $(12.2)M.
Bullish
- + Adjusted EBITDA grew sequentially to $2.8M with management expecting continued sequential revenue growth in Q3.
- + SG&A reduced 11% YoY to $8.2M despite 8% revenue growth, reflecting operational excellence initiatives.
- + Operating cash flow of $4.5M enabled a voluntary $2.0M term debt paydown, with $4.0M YTD debt reduction.
- + Secured four new share-of-wallet wins including a significant one with a large national automotive parts retailer, diversifying the portfolio.
- + Industrial portfolio volumes stabilized with meaningful YoY growth from largest customers.
Bearish
- − Recorded a $11.0M non-cash goodwill impairment charge triggered by decline in market capitalization.
- − Industrial volumes remain subdued relative to prior years and elongated sales cycles on macro uncertainty could delay pipeline conversion.
