Chairman's and Chief Executive Officer's Statement
Overview
Somero delivered a strong first-half performance, returning to growth as market conditions continued to stabilize and customer activity improved. Revenue increased 22% to US$ 48.7m (H1 2025: US$ 39.8m), with growth across all regions and the majority of product categories.
Higher volumes translated into significant operating leverage, with adjusted EBITDA increasing 59% to US$ 10.1m (H1 2025: US$ 6.4m) and adjusted EBITDA margin improving to 20.7% (H1 2025: 15.9%). Pricing actions, operational efficiencies and disciplined cost management helped offset higher input costs, including commodity surcharges and tariffs, maintaining gross margin at 52.8%.
Cash generation remained strong, with operating cash flow increasing to US$ 7.1m (H1 2025: US$ 4.1m). Net cash at 30 June 2026 was US$ 29.6m (H1 2025: US$ 24.6m), after US$ 3.4m of dividend payments and US$ 5.8m of share repurchases during the period.
Regional Review
North America
North American revenue increased 22% to US$ 38.9m (H1 2025: US$ 31.8m), driven by higher sales across most product categories, particularly Boomed and Ride-on screeds reflecting stabilizing market conditions supported in part by demand from AI-led data centers and related infrastructure.
New customer penetration also increased, with direct machine sales to new customers representing 28% of regional revenue (H1 2025: 19%). Hammerhead continued to broaden Somero's customer base, with 65% of units sold through North American dealers during the period being purchased by customers new to Somero, demonstrating early traction of strategic initiatives aimed at reaching a broader customer segment.
Customers continue to report steady activity levels and healthy project backlogs, alongside an improvement in project starts. Underlying demand in private non-residential construction remains supported by long-term structural trends, while continued skilled labor shortages are reinforcing demand for automation and productivity-enhancing solutions.
Europe
European revenue increased 41% to US$ 4.9m (H1 2025: US$ 3.5m), with growth supported by improved sales activity across the region.
Direct machine sales to new customers represented 28% of regional direct machine revenue (H1 2025: 38%) reflecting variation in product and channel mix. Hammerhead also continued to attract new customers, with 45% of units sold through European dealers during the period being purchased by customers new to Somero.
Macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions continue to weigh on the region, but Europe remains an important long-term growth market for Somero. The Belgium service center, opened in 2024, has strengthened local customer support and expanded the Company's ability to provide machine repair, aftermarket parts and service, and training across the region.
Australia
Revenue in Australia increased 12% to US$ 2.4m (H1 2025: US$ 2.1m). Direct machine sales to new customers represented 16% of regional direct machine revenue (H1 2025: 25%).
Market conditions remain constrained by skilled labor shortages and restrictive monetary policy, but Somero continues to see opportunities to deepen penetration. The Company remains focused on increasing market awareness, demonstrating the productivity benefits of its technology and expanding its dealer network.
Rest of World
Revenue in Rest of World increased 7% to US$ 2.5m (H1 2025: US$ 2.4m), driven primarily by higher sales in Latin America.
Given the relatively small scale of the business across these markets, revenue is expected to remain variable from period to period, which is further exacerbated by geopolitical conditions in the region.

New product launches
Somero continued to advance its product innovation agenda in H1 2026, launching two new machines designed to address evolving customer needs and expand the Company's addressable market.
The S-22EZ+, the latest evolution of Somero's flagship Boomed screed platform, incorporates more than 30 enhancements focused on quality, automation, productivity and ease of use. The launch further strengthens Somero's offering for large-format concrete placement.
The Company also launched the Viper, a compact walk-behind laser screed that debuted at World of Concrete in January 2026. Viper brings Somero's laser-guided screeding technology to smaller pours, confined job sites and on-deck applications, broadening the range of projects and customers the Company can serve.
Alongside new machine launches, Somero continues to invest in digital tools, telematics and training technologies designed to improve customer experience, machine utilization and aftermarket engagement.
The broader innovation pipeline remains active, with continued R&D investment focused on addressing customer pain points, improving productivity and supporting future market expansion.
Strategic Update
Since introducing the Fortify, Innovate and Amplify strategic framework at the 2025 interim results, Somero has moved firmly into execution, with measurable progress across operational efficiency, product development, customer reach, and capital allocation. Key developments during H1 2026 are set out below.
1. Fortify
Reinforcing the foundation of the business to improve resilience, consistency, and operational discipline across cycles
Lean execution protected margins despite cost pressures
Somero continued to embed lean operating practices, including 6S, workplace organization, and visual management, helping improve efficiency and offset higher input costs from material surcharges and tariffs. Together with pricing and disciplined cost management, these actions supported a stable gross margin of 52.8% during the period.
Service and training capabilities expanded
The Company continued to strengthen its customer support and aftermarket infrastructure, including 24/7 technical support, field service, training and expanded service and fleet-management offerings.
Somero also expanded the capabilities of the Somero Concrete Institute in Europe, providing hands-on training, technical education and certification through its facilities in Belgium and Chesterfield, UK. This extends Somero's established U.S. training model into Europe and supports machine utilization, customer engagement and longer-term aftermarket opportunities.
2. Innovate
Advancing technology and product development to expand our addressable market and reinforce category leadership
New product launches broadened Somero's addressable market
Somero launched two new products during H1 2026 - the S-22EZ+ and Viper - while recent introductions including Hammerhead and S-15EZ continued to gain traction. Together, these products extend Somero's offering across a broader range of customers, project sizes and applications.
Telematics rollout strengthened connected-machine capabilities
The Company continued to develop its digital and connected-machine capabilities, with telematics now standard on the S-15EZ, S-22EZ and S-28EZ platforms. The growing installed base is providing valuable machine data and supporting development of Somero's connected-machine offering, with the potential to enhance customer support and create opportunities to expand aftermarket and recurring-revenue. A small-machine telematics offering is currently under development.
Product and software capabilities strengthened
Somero also strengthened its product management and software engineering depth and capabilities during the period, supporting execution of its product and technology roadmaps. The wider innovation pipeline remains active and focused on solving customer pain points, improving productivity and expanding the Company's addressable markets.
3. Amplify
Expanding Somero's reach, broadening market coverage, and deploying capital to drive long-term value creation
Dealer network expansion extended Somero's market reach
Somero continued to expand its commercial reach during H1 2026, growing its dealer network to 16 dealers across approximately 50 locations in North America and 21 dealers internationally. The Company also expanded its product-specialist team to support adoption of Hammerhead and customer acquisition in targeted market segments.
These initiatives, alongside recent product launches and broader commercial activity, contributed to new customers accounting for approximately 28% of Group direct machine revenue, compared with approximately 21% last year.
Aftermarket focus sharpened across the installed base
Refined parts sales organization structure to increase focus on aftermarket opportunities and strengthen support for the growing installed base. The Company also initiated development of its eCommerce platform, designed to make aftermarket parts and support resources easier for customers to access.
Further US$6.0m buyback authorized
Somero continues to assess uses of capital against a disciplined framework balancing investment in the business, strategic opportunities and shareholder returns. Following the substantial completion of the initial US$ 6.0m share repurchase program, on 22 July 2026 the Board authorized a further US$ 6.0m of share repurchases after the period end while retaining the financial flexibility to invest in growth and pursue compelling strategic opportunities, given the Company's strong net cash balance sheet position.
Governance Update
Following extensive shareholder consultation, on 28 August the Board announced governance and Board changes designed to strengthen accountability and better align Somero's governance arrangements with those employed by UK companies listed on AIM.
The proposed changes include the introduction of majority voting in uncontested director elections and two-year staggered re-election of directors.
Howard Hohmann will transition from the Board and continue with the Company as Chief Commercial Officer, while the search for a new independent Non-Executive Director to succeed Larry Horsch approaches completion. Taken together, these changes are expected to increase the proportion of Non-Executive Directors on the Board, strengthen independence and accountability, and support continued execution of the Company's strategic plan.
The externally facilitated Board performance review, in accordance with the 2023 QCA Corporate Governance Code also continues and is expected to be completed in H2 2026.
Cashflow and Balance Sheet
Operating cash flow increased to US$7.1m in H1 2026 (H1 2025: US$4.1m), reflecting higher profitability and disciplined working capital management.
Capital expenditure remained modest at US$0.6m (H1 2025: US$0.5m). During the period, the Company returned approximately US$9.2m to shareholders through US$3.4m of dividend payments and US$5.8m of share repurchases.
Somero ended the period with net cash of US$ 29.6m (31 December 2025: US$ 33.2m; 30 June 2025: US$ 24.6m). The Company remains debt-free and has access to an undrawn US$ 25.0m secured revolving credit facility, providing financial flexibility to invest in the business and pursue strategic growth opportunities.
Dividend
Reflecting the strong first-half performance and outlook for the remainder of the year, the Board has declared an interim dividend of US$ 0.05 per share, up 25% from US $0.04 per share in H1 2025. The dividend, totaling approximately US$ 2.6m, will be payable on 16 October 2026 to shareholders on the register on 18 September 2026. The ex-dividend date is 17 September 2026.
During the period, the Company returned approximately US$ 9.2m to shareholders through US$ 3.4m of dividends and US$ 5.8m of share repurchases.
Outlook
U.S. private non-residential construction has continued to stabilize, with AI-driven digital infrastructure and related utility investment supporting activity, alongside a slowing pace of decline in other end markets including warehousing, manufacturing and retail. Customers continue to report healthy activity levels and strong backlogs extending into 2027.
Somero enters the second half with positive momentum and remains well positioned to benefit from improving market conditions, supported by its market-leading product portfolio, strong customer relationships and flexible cost model. The Board nevertheless remains mindful of continued macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, including tariffs, elevated interest rates and immigration policy.
Reflecting the strength of the first-half performance and momentum entering H2, the Board now expects FY 2026 revenue of approximately US$ 95m, with adjusted EBITDA of approximately US$19.5m and year-end net cash expected to be approximately US $29m, assuming the additional US$6m share repurchase authorization is fully executed prior to year end.

Notes:
1. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income are not measurements of the Company's financial performance under US GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with US GAAP or as an alternative to US GAAP cash flow from operating activities as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income are presented herein because management believes they are useful analytical tools for measuring the profitability and cash generation of the business. Adjusted EBITDA is also used to determine pricing and covenant compliance under the Company's credit facility and as a measurement for calculation of management incentive compensation. The Company understands that although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders, and others in their evaluation of companies, its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
2. Adjusted EBITDA as used herein is a calculation of net income plus tax provision, interest expense, interest income, foreign exchange gain (loss), other expense, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-cash lease expense.
3. Adjusted net income as used herein is a calculation of net income plus amortization of intangibles and excluding the tax impact of stock option and RSU settlements and other special items.

Revenues
The Company's consolidated revenues increased by 22% to approximately US$ 48.7m (H1 2025: US$ 39.8m). The Company's revenues consist primarily of sales from Boomed Screed products, which include the S-28EZ, S22-EZ, S22-EZ+, S-15R, S-15EZ, SRS-6, SRS-4, and SRS-4e Laser Screed machines, sales from Ride-on Screed products, which are drive through the concrete machines that include the S-485, S-940, S940e, Hammerhead and S-158C Laser Screed machines, remanufactured machines sales, 3-D Profiler Systems, aftermarket parts & service, and other revenues which consist of revenue from sales of other equipment, training and machine shipping charges. The overall increase for the period was primarily driven by higher volumes of the Boomed Screeds, Ride-on Screeds and 3-D Profiler System.
Boomed Screed sales increased to approximately US$ 17.6m (H1 2025: US$ 13.3m) as unit volume increased, Ride-on Screed sales increased to approximately US$ 10.2m (H1 2025: US$ 7.1m) due to an increase in volume, remanufactured machine sales decreased to approximately US$ 3.3m (H1 2025: US$ 3.4m) due to a decrease in volume, 3-D Profiler System sales increased to approximately US$ 4.2m (2025: US$ 2.7m) due to an increase in volume. Aftermarket parts & service revenue increased to US$ 9.1m (2025: US$ 8.3m). Other revenues decreased to approximately US$ 4.3m (H1 2025: US$ 5.1m) due to volume declines in that category.
Sales to customers in North America contributed 80% of total revenue (H1 2025: 80%), sales to customers in Europe contributed 10% (H1 2025: 9%), sales to customers in Australia contributed 5% (H1 2025: 5%) and sales to customers in ROW (Latin America, India, China, Middle East, Korea and Southeast Asia) contributed 5% (H1 2025: 6%).
Sales in North America totaled approximately US$ 38.9m (H1 2025: US$ 31.8m), up 22%, primarily driven by higher sales of Boomed Screeds and Ride-on Screeds. Sales to customers in Europe were approximately US$ 4.9m (H1 2025: US$ 3.5m), up 41%, driven by increased activity across the region. Sales to customers in Australia were approximately US$ 2.4m (H1 2025: US$ 2.1m), up 12%, while sales to customers in the Rest of World were approximately US$ 2.5m (H1 2025: US$ 2.4m), up 7%, primarily driven by higher sales in Latin America.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased to approximately US$ 25.7m (H1 2025: US$ 21.0m), with gross margins of 52.8% compared to 52.8% in H1 2025.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation for H1 2026 were approximately US$ 16.3m (H1 2025: US$ 15.2m).
Debt
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had no outstanding debt. In August 2022, the Company updated its credit facility to a US$ 25.0m secured revolving line of credit, with a maturity date of August 2027. The interest rate on the revolving credit line is based on the BSBY Index plus 1.25%. The Company's credit facility is secured by substantially all of its business assets.
Provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes was approximately US$ 2.4m, at an overall effective tax rate of 26%, compared to a provision of approximately US$ 2.3m in H1 2025, at an overall effective tax rate of 47%. The decrease in overall effective tax rate reflects the non-recurrence of the prior-period valuation allowance placed on foreign deferred tax assets.
The H1 2026 tax rate is slightly higher than the historical run rate due to the consequential impact of the cumulative reporting losses in the foreign jurisdictions.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share represent income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustments to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and restricted stock units.
Earnings per common share has been computed based on the following:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025
1. Organization and description of business
Nature of business
Somero Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company" or "Somero") designs, assembles, remanufactures, sells, and distributes concrete leveling, contouring, and placing equipment, related aftermarket parts & service, and training worldwide. Somero's Operations and Support Offices are located in Michigan, USA with Global Headquarters and Training Facilities in Florida, USA. Sales and service offices are in Chesterfield, England; Kampenhout, Belgium; Melbourne, Australia and New Delhi, India.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Somero Enterprises, Inc., and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand, cash in banks, and temporary investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains deposits in a number of financial institutions globally, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash of approximately US$ 372,000 and US$ 333,000 is included in "Cash and cash equivalents" on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. This represents cash deposited by the Company into a guaranteed deposit account and designated as collateral for the building lease in Australia and Belgium, in accordance with the lease agreement.
Accounts receivable and allowances for credit losses
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company's accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from a diverse group of customers. The Company performs credit evaluations of its commercial customers and maintains an allowance for credit losses based upon the expected ability to collect accounts receivable. Allowances, if necessary, are established for amounts determined to be uncollectible based on specific identification and historical experience. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses was approximately US$ 751,000 and US$ 803,000, respectively. Provision for credit losses (recovery) for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, was approximately US$ (67,000) and US$ 100,000 respectively. The opening balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2025 was US$ 9,818,000, which includes US$ 567,000 of non-current accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories are stated using the first in, first out ("FIFO") method, at the lower of cost or net realizable value ("NRV"). Provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is made based on management's analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventory was approximately US$ 1,869,000 and US$ 1,887,000, respectively.
Intangible assets and goodwill
Intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, trademarks, and patents, and are carried at their fair value when acquired, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over a period of three to twelve years, which is their estimated period of economic benefit.
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment tests on an annual basis, and the Company has chosen December 31 as its periodic assessment date. Goodwill represents the excess cost of the business combination over the Company's interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill arose from the Company's prior sale from Dover Corporation to The Gores Group in 2005 and the purchase of the Line Dragon, LLC business assets in January 2019. The Company did not incur a goodwill impairment loss for the periods ended June 30, 2026 nor December 31, 2025.
Revenue recognition
The Company generates revenue by selling equipment, accessories, aftermarket parts & service, and training. The Company recognizes revenue for equipment, accessories and aftermarket parts & service when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring the control to the customer. For product sales where shipping terms are FOB shipping point, revenue is recognized upon shipment. For arrangements which include FOB destination shipping terms, revenue is recognized upon delivery to the customer. The Company recognizes the revenue for service agreements and training once the service or training has occurred.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were approximately US$ 533,000 and US$ 467,000, respectively, of extended service agreement liabilities. The opening balance of extended service agreement liabilities on January 1, 2025 was US$ 520,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, approximately US$ 299,000 and US$ 313,000, respectively, of revenue was recognized related to the amounts recorded as liabilities on the balance sheets in the prior year (deferred contract revenue).
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were approximately US$ 1,727,000 and US$ 3,561,000, respectively, in customer deposit liabilities for advance payments received during the period for contracts expected to ship following the end of the period. The opening balance of customer deposit liabilities for advance payments received on January 1, 2025 was US$ 505,000. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there are no significant contract costs such as sales commissions or costs deferred. Interest income on financing arrangements is recognized as interest accrues, using the effective interest method.
Warranty liability
The Company provides warranties on all equipment sales ranging from 60 days to three years, depending on the product. Warranty liabilities are estimated net of the warranty passed through to the Company from vendors, based on specific identification of issues and historical experience.

Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is 31.5 to 40 years for buildings (depending on the nature of the building), 15 years for improvements, and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment.
Income taxes
The Company determines income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Tax laws require items to be included in tax filings at different times than the items are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to the extent that it appears more likely than not that such assets will be unrecoverable.
The Company evaluates tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken in its tax returns and records a liability for uncertain tax positions. This involves a two-step approach to recognising and measuring uncertain tax positions. First, tax positions are recognized if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Second, the tax position is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.
Stock-based compensation
The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the consolidated financial statements over the period the employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively the vesting period). The Company measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation expense related to stock-based payments was approximately US$ 512,000 and US$ 394,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In addition, the Company settled approximately US$ 605,000 and US$ 454,000 in restricted stock units for cash during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Transactions in and translation of foreign currency
The functional currency for the Company's subsidiaries outside the United States is the applicable local currency. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the translation of these financial statements to USD. Balance sheet amounts are translated at period-end exchange rates and the statement of comprehensive income accounts are translated at average rates. The resulting gains or losses are charged directly to accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company is also exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates because some sales transactions, and some assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries, are denominated in foreign currencies other than the designated functional currency. Gains and losses from transactions are included as foreign exchange impact in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is the combination of reported net income and other comprehensive income ("OCI"). OCI is changes in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources not included in net income.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and restricted stock units.
Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:
|
Six months ended June 30 |
||
|
2026 US$ 000 |
2025 US$ 000 |
|
|

|

55,595,601 |
Fair value
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

4. Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The Company is required to test goodwill for impairment, at the reporting unit level, annually and when events or circumstances indicate the fair value of a unit may be below its carrying value.

The interest rate on the revolving credit line is based on the BSBY Index plus 1.25%. The Company's credit facility is secured by substantially all its business assets. No amounts were drawn under the secured revolving line of credit as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

10. Business and credit concentration
The Company's line of business could be significantly impacted by, among other things, the state of the general economy, the Company's ability to continue to protect its intellectual property rights, and the potential future growth of competitors. Any of the foregoing may significantly affect management's estimates and the Company's performance. On June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had four customers which represented 29% and 33% of total accounts receivable, respectively.
11. Commitments and contingencies
The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain members of senior management. The terms of these are for renewable one-year periods and include non-compete and non-disclosure provisions as well as provide for defined severance payments in the event of termination or change in control.
The Company is also subject to various unresolved legal actions which arise in the normal course of its business. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible losses, the Company believes these unresolved legal actions will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
12. Income taxes
The Company's total effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 26%. For the full year ended December 31, 2025, the effective tax rate was 33%. The higher amount in 2025 primarily relates to a valuation allowance placed on foreign deferred tax assets. The Company is subject to US federal income tax with a statutory rate of 21%, as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company was formed in 2005. The statute of limitations for all federal, foreign, and state income tax matters for tax years from 2020 forward is still open. The Company has no federal, foreign, or state income tax returns currently under examination.
As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025 the Company had income tax receivable of approximately US$ 607,000 and US$ 1,078,000, respectively.
As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025 the Company had non-current net deferred tax liabilities recorded on its balance sheet of approximately US$ 285,000 and US$ 506,000, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized and, therefore, whether a valuation allowance is required. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of sufficient future taxable income during the periods in which the related temporary differences become deductible. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent future taxable amounts arising from temporary differences and are measured based on the tax rates expected to apply when those differences reverse.
13. Revenues by geographic region and segment reporting
The Company sells its products to customers throughout the world. The Company operates as a single reportable segment for financial reporting purposes. While revenue is disaggregated by geography, the business is managed and evaluated as a single operating segment by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). This is because all geographic regions provide the same types of products and services to a similar customer base, and the CODM assesses financial performance and allocates resources on a consolidated basis rather than by individual geography.
In making key decisions and allocating resources, the CODM primarily evaluates the Company's consolidated profitability, with a focus on EBITDA, as this metric provides a comprehensive view of operational performance. Revenue by geography is reviewed to identify trends, but profitability remains the primary measure of performance.
The accounting policies are the same in all geographies as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on profitability reported on the income statement.
The following table shows the breakdown by geography during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
