Key Financial Metrics (Nine Months Ended June 30, 2026)

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Net revenue increased 9.6% year-over-year (YoY) to $3.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $3.6 million in the prior year. This was driven by a 189.1% increase in Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) revenue and a 32.6% increase in Event Services revenue, partially offset by a 45.1% decline in Product Sales revenue.
• Profitability: Net loss improved significantly, narrowing 35.8% to $20.4 million from $31.8 million in the prior year. This improvement was primarily driven by a $8.7 million increase in investment income and a $22.7 million favorable swing in the fair value of warrant liabilities (from a $22.1 million loss to a $0.6 million gain).
• Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses increased 159% to $32.2 million. This includes a $9.5 million non-cash impairment of long-lived assets related to the "AI Across All" strategic transformation. Excluding impairment, G&A and R&D expenses rose due to strategic investments and one-time stock-based compensation awards.
• Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents increased to $302.0 million from $185.6 million at the beginning of the fiscal year, bolstered by $105.0 million in net proceeds from equity issuances.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Strategic Initiatives: The company is executing the "AI Across All" initiative to transition to an AI-native architecture, resulting in the impairment of legacy software assets. Management is shifting focus from one-time hardware sales to recurring RaaS revenue models.
• Capital Raising: The company successfully raised capital through a private placement and an at-the-market (ATM) offering, strengthening its balance sheet to fund R&D and facility expansion (including a new Las Vegas headquarters).
• Legal Proceedings:
  • Securities Class Action: A putative class action lawsuit (In re Richtech Robotics Inc. Securities Litigation) was filed in February 2026 regarding a January 2026 press release. The case is in early stages; damages are unspecified.
  • Derivative Actions: Three shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in April and May 2026 against officers and directors, alleging breach of fiduciary duties. These are consolidated and pending.
  • Civil Action: A breach of contract and fraud lawsuit filed in June 2025 seeks over $600,000. The company denies the claims and believes a loss is not probable.
• Internal Controls: Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026, due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to complex transactions and equity-linked instruments. Remediation efforts are ongoing.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Impairment Charge: Verify the details and future impact of the $9.5 million impairment of intangible assets related to the "AI Across All" transition.
• Revenue Mix: Monitor the sustainability of the shift from Product Sales to RaaS and Event Services, noting the decline in direct hardware sales.
• Internal Controls: Track the progress of remediation for the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting.
• Legal Exposure: Assess the potential financial impact of the pending securities class action and derivative lawsuits.
• Warrant Liability: Review the volatility of the warrant liability fair value, which significantly impacts reported net income/loss but is a non-cash item.
