Management Commentary

“The first quarter of fiscal 2027 was one of the strongest commercial quarters in our Company’s recent history,” said Jan Goetgeluk, CEO of Virtuix. “New orders for Omni One systems increased 72% year-over-year, and have increased approximately 150% since the launch of Omni One for Quest in collaboration with Meta, a trend we have seen continue into the current quarter.

“While reported revenue was lower year-over-year, that comparison reflects the completion of our legacy preorder backlog: revenue in the prior-year period was driven largely by the fulfillment of the final batch of the large backlog of Omni One orders accumulated since the start of our preorder period in August 2023, whereas revenues this quarter resulted from sales to newly acquired customers. We believe new orders are the better forward indicator of the accelerating demand we are currently seeing.

“Our unit economics also continued to improve. Gross profit increased 29% year-over-year and gross margin expanded to 30% from 17%, primarily reflecting the higher selling price of the complete Omni One system in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the price of units delivered in the prior-year period. We ended the quarter with $7.4 million of cash.

"The launch of the Made for Meta certified Omni One for Quest has expanded our addressable market to millions of active Quest users and is already reshaping our order profile. We believe it represents an important step toward our goal of driving continued consumer sales growth and bringing our immersive, physically engaging entertainment experience to millions of households nationwide. We believe we are only scratching the surface of the potential of our Meta partnership, as we are exploring joint marketing opportunities and the bundling of Virtuix and Meta products.

“Our defense business continues to gain momentum. As lead systems integrator, we’re advancing the development of the U.S. Marine Corps Infantry Fireteam Trainer, while also expanding into the counter-drone training market through LeadTech's C-UAS Personnel Trainer, and we completed our first deployment with the Air National Guard.

“We are also pursuing inorganic growth in the defense sector. Our special committee is actively reviewing acquisition opportunities in the defense training and simulation industry, with a focus on companies with annual revenues in the $10 million to $50 million range that would provide immediate access to government contract vehicles and recurring defense revenues.

"Beyond defense, we expanded into enterprise robotics through our first sale to Tesla's Optimus program, were selected for NASA's moon and mars mission, and earned our second consecutive Auggie Award, demonstrating the expanding commercial potential of Omni One."

“In healthcare, we signed a strategic partnership with Sirica Therapeutics and shipped two Omni One systems to Sirica’s San Francisco Bay Area treatment center to advance AI-driven autism therapy. Sirica announced plans to establish approximately 100 treatment centers nationwide, and we believe full-body movement within AI-enabled environments may play an increasingly important role across next-generation healthcare and therapeutic applications.

“Looking ahead, we are focused on converting the order momentum we are seeing in our consumer business into accelerating revenue growth, advancing our defense programs toward larger awards, completing one or more acquisitions in the defense space, and expanding into enterprise robotics and healthcare applications. Through our multi-use platform strategy, we intend to complement high-volume consumer sales with high-value defense and enterprise contracts, including recurring revenues from software licensing and customized simulation development. We look forward to additional updates in the coming months as we seek to bring long-term value to our stockholders,” concluded Goetgeluk.

First Quarter Financial Results

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $0.8 million, a 26% decrease compared to $1.0 million for the prior year period. The overall higher revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to the fulfillment of the final batch of the large backlog of Omni One orders accumulated since the start of the preorder period in August 2023, whereas revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 resulted from sales to newly acquired customers. New orders for Omni One systems increased 72% in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period last year.

Gross profit in the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased 29% to $227,158, compared to $176,077 in the prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues expanded to 30% in the three months ended June 30, 2026, from 17% in the prior year period. The improvement was primarily the result of the higher selling price of the complete Omni One system in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the price of units delivered in the prior-year period.

Total operating expenses increased by $1.9 million, or 86%, to $4.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.2 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to a non-cash $0.7 million increase in stock compensation expense and a $1.2 million increase in professional services fees related to operating as a publicly traded company, including legal, accounting, investor relations, and other professional services.

Total other expense was $3.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.2 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to non-cash expenses, including $2.5 million of interest expense and non-cash amortization of debt discount related to the Company’s convertible notes.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was ($7.2) million compared to ($2.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net loss primarily reflects $4.0 million of non-cash charges and higher operating expenses, partially offset by the improvement in gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was ($3.1) million, compared to a loss of ($1.9) million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Net loss per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was ($0.22), compared to ($0.28) for the prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.4 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $9.5 million as of March 31, 2026.

Note About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude: (i) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) financing expense, (vi) loss on extinguishment of debt, and (vii) gains or losses from changes in the fair value of financial instruments. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net loss or any other measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the performance of its ongoing operations, and management uses it to evaluate operating performance and allocate resources. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not determined in accordance with GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA is presented below.

(1) Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 includes $2,052,255 of non-cash amortization of debt discount related to the Company’s financing arrangements. The debt discount results from the issuance of warrants, original issue discounts, related closing costs, and embedded derivative bifurcation, which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes.
(2) Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 consisted of non-cash expenses of $103,080 related to equity awards granted to vendors and service providers and $619,857 related to equity awards granted to employees, officers, and directors. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 consisted entirely of employee, officer, and director awards.
(3) Financing expense represents a non-cash charge recognized in connection with amendments to certain outstanding warrants during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
