Key Financial Metrics

Note: Revenue increased 4.9% year-over-year. Net loss increased 34.0% year-over-year.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Driven by new institutional customers and increased revenue from a major Asian aviation hub. Facilities services revenue grew to $63.9 million (82.0% of total).
• Cost Increases: Direct costs rose 13.9% to $64.7 million, primarily due to a 17.6% increase in employee salaries (driven by Singapore's Progressive Wage Model) and a 38.8% increase in subcontractor charges.
• Government Grants: Total government subsidies decreased from $4.5 million in FY 2025 to $3.1 million in FY 2026, reducing the offset against wage costs.
• Expense Reductions: General and administrative expenses decreased 10.8% due to lower professional fees and reduced amortization on right-of-use assets. Sales and marketing expenses dropped 57.0% due to a more disciplined advertising approach.
• Goodwill Impairment: No impairment recorded in FY 2026, compared to a $291,000 charge in FY 2025.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

Outlook and Strategy

• Technology Expansion: Continued investment in autonomous cleaning robots (e.g., Hytron) and IoT-enabled management platforms.
• Geographic Growth: Established Primech USA Inc. in 2025 to target the North American market.
• Liquidity: Management believes current working capital ($8.1 million) and available credit facilities ($6.0 million) are sufficient to fund operations for at least one year, despite the net loss.

Risks and Contingencies

• Nasdaq Listing Compliance: The company received a notice from Nasdaq on February 25, 2026, indicating the bid price had closed below the $1.00 minimum requirement for 30 consecutive days. Failure to regain compliance could result in delisting.
• Regulatory Licensing: The Class 1 cleaning business license for Primech A&P expires in May 2028. Renewal is contingent on disclosing a 2019 workplace accident conviction, though legal counsel advises this should not prevent renewal.
• Labor Constraints: Heavy reliance on foreign labor (35% of workforce) subject to Singapore's dependency ratio ceilings and rising levies.
• Customer Concentration: One customer accounted for 16.3% of FY 2026 revenue; two customers accounted for 36.9% of accounts receivable.

Unusual Items

• Convertible Notes: Issued $2.0 million in senior unsecured convertible promissory notes in January 2026 to an institutional investor.
• Property Sale: Entered an option-to-purchase agreement in April 2026 to sell its former headquarters (23 & 25 Ubi Crescent) for approximately $8.1 million, with completion expected by July 2026.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Nasdaq Compliance Status: Verify if the company has regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement to avoid delisting.
• Liquidity Runway: Confirm the sufficiency of cash reserves and credit facilities given the negative operating cash flow of $3.9 million in FY 2026.
• License Renewal: Monitor the renewal process for the Class 1 cleaning license in May 2028 and any potential impact from the 2019 conviction disclosure.
• Debt Covenants: Review compliance with financial covenants (minimum adjusted tangible net worth of $7.0 million and gearing ratio not exceeding 2.2).
• Government Grant Sustainability: Assess the risk of further reductions in Singapore government wage subsidies impacting future margins.
