Tønsberg, 6 August 2026 - poLight ASA (OSE: PLT) today announced its results for Q2 2026.

| "Revenue was somewhat lower than in the previous quarter, but significantly | higher than in the same period last year. More importantly, market activity | remains high, driven by maturing consumer-related projects with a strong | focus on AR|MR applications. As previously noted, several consumer AR|MR | cases are maturing, with one case now also regarded as a design-in. This | brings hope that 2026 may become the year in which poLight technology starts | shipping in a consumer AR|MR product. Such a move would represent a major | milestone for the company and provide a strong foundation for future growth. | | To fully capture the opportunities in poLight's expanding landscape, it will | be essential to continue investing in customer engagement and support, | innovation, strategic partnerships and organisational development. These | efforts will increase operational costs, but are necessary to build | long-term shareholder value by strengthening poLight's position as a leader | in next-generation optical solutions across multiple market segments, with | particular emphasis on AR|MR," explains Dr Øyvind Isaksen, CEO of poLight.

EBITDA totalled NOK -33.1 million in Q2 2026, compared with NOK -29.5 million in Q2 2025.

As at 30 June 2026, poLight had cash and cash equivalents totalling NOK 243.7 million, compared with NOK 284.0 million as at 31 December 2025.
