Positive Takeaways

First-half revenue nearly doubled: $78.4 million, up 99.3% year over year

Acceleration in the second quarter: Revenue of $50.1 million, up 78% sequentially and 138% year over year

Raised revenue outlook: At least $200 million for 2026 and $48 million to $50 million for the third quarter

AI infrastructure and data center programs pulled forward revenue previously expected to be recognized later, while smart city, security, and network deployments in markets including Egypt, Taiwan, and Thailand also provided support. Cash outflow from operating activities declined 65.3% year over year to $4.3 million, while period-end cash stood at approximately $179.4 million.

Areas of Concern

Wider net loss: Net loss of approximately $46.9 million for the first half under International Financial Reporting Standards

Sharp decline in gross profit: Gross profit of approximately $3.84 million, substantially below the prior-year figure

Share-based compensation burden: Approximately $25.4 million during the first half increased the operating loss

Despite higher revenue, cost of revenue rose in tandem, leaving margins thin. Adjusted EBITDA also returned to a loss of approximately $14.6 million, while accounting items such as fair-value measurements and debt transaction costs weighed on results. The company spent approximately $14.1 million on equipment and construction during the first half, meaning the investment burden is weighing on earnings before utilization catches up.

What Management Said

The chief executive officer emphasized that several contract programs were delivered earlier than expected, bringing revenue recognition forward, and said the company had entered a different scale of operation. The chief financial officer noted that, while revenue nearly doubled, operating cash consumption as a percentage of revenue declined, adding that the company is currently investing its cash in infrastructure to support future revenue.

Market Reaction and Key Points Ahead

The market appears to be placing greater weight on the wider loss, weaker gross profit, and burden of upfront infrastructure investment than on strong revenue and the raised outlook.

Whether third-quarter revenue falls within the company’s newly raised outlook of $48 million to $50 million

Whether utilization improves and gross margin bottoms out and begins to recover

Whether operating cash flow stabilizes as approximately $179 million in cash is invested in equipment and infrastructure
