Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾ came in at approximately US$117,000, improving by roughly US$140,000 year-over-year. Free cash flow performance reflected intentional investments in working capital and manufacturing productivity to support the expanding order book.

Balance Sheet Strength
The Company maintains a highly stable financial position, concluding the quarter with US$3.1 million in cash with no outstanding debt.

Orders and Backlog
New orders outpaced shipments during the period, with second-quarter bookings reaching approximately US$6.4 million. Consequently, the Company’s total backlog as of June 30, 2026, expanded to a record-breaking US$10.7 million, an increase of US$4.9 million compared to the same period last year.
