Management Commentary
VirTra CEO John Givens stated, “Our second quarter results reflect increased revenue conversion compared with the first quarter, particularly within our international business. While domestic funding availability and procurement timing continue to impact results, we saw encouraging activity during the quarter, including stronger bookings, momentum in our international business, and increased grant-related activity.

“We continue to see funding opportunities moving through the system, with customers actively submitting applications and advancing their procurement efforts. Recent grant funding releases and increased customer participation in grant programs provide additional evidence that agencies are moving forward, even though the pace of awards and delivery timelines remain difficult to predict. At the same time, we continue to make progress in the military market, as evidenced by our acceptance into the U.S. Army Marketplace across three mission-critical capability areas.

“While uncertainty around funding timelines continues, we believe the underlying demand environment remains healthy. We are encouraged by the level of activity we are seeing across our domestic, international, and military markets, as well as the continued strength of our backlog and opportunity pipeline. Our focus remains on supporting customers through the funding and procurement process, converting backlog into revenue, and positioning VirTra to capture the opportunities ahead.”

Six Months 2026 Financial Results

Total revenue was $9.2 million, compared to $14.1 million in the prior year period. The decrease was due to several customers booked in Q3 and Q4 2025 being unable to accept delivery in the first six months of 2026.

Gross profit was $5.5 million (60% of revenue), compared to $10.0 million (71% of revenue) in the prior year period.

Net operating expense was $7.1 million, compared to $7.7 million in the prior year period.

Loss from operations was $(1.5) million, compared to income from operations of $2.3 million in the prior year period.

Net loss was $(1.6) million, or $(0.14) per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was $(0.5) million, compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Total revenue was $5.8 million, compared to $7.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in domestic sales, partially offset by international sales.

Gross profit was $3.4 million (59% of revenue), compared to $4.8 million (69% of revenue) in the prior year period.

Net operating expense was $3.6 million, compared to $3.9 million in the prior year period.

Loss from operations was $(0.2) million, compared to income from operations of $0.9 million in the prior year period.

Net loss was $(0.3) million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was $0.4 million, compared to $0.7 million in the prior year period.

Financial Commentary
VirTra CFO Alanna Boudreau stated, “Second quarter revenue increased significantly compared to the first quarter, reflecting improved revenue conversion and supporting a return to positive adjusted EBITDA. We generated stronger bookings during the quarter and ended June with a backlog of approximately $24.9 million, providing visibility into future revenue opportunities.

“While funding and procurement timelines continue to influence the pace of conversion, we remain focused on disciplined expense management while investing in content development, technology, and strategic initiatives that support long-term growth. We also completed the acquisition of our Orlando facility during the quarter, which we expect will contribute positively to future financial performance through tenant lease income while strengthening our position within the military training and simulation market.”

About the Presentation of Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and before other non-operating costs and income (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA also includes non-cash stock option expense and other than temporary impairment loss on investments. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently. VirTra calculates its Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items it does not consider to be indicative of its performance and its ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because management believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to VirTra’s investors regarding VirTra’s financial condition and results of operations and because Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in VirTra’s industry, several of which present a form of Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of VirTra’s results as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative for net income, cash flows from operating activities and other consolidated income or cash flows statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the following tables:
