Kevin Buchel, CEO and President, commented, "Our Fiscal Q4 performance completes a strong close to our fiscal year end and reflects continued positive financial results. We achieved record Q4 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $55.8 and $20.6 million, respectively, which was bolstered by our recurring service revenue with its continued year over year double digit growth. We saw a rebound in our equipment sales, which increased 10.0% for the year, driven by strong demand for our door-locking products as well as a 36% growth in sales of our intrusion products in Q4, which is primarily a result of increased sales of our StarLink fire communicators. Our RSR continues to deliver gross margins of over 90%, and represents approximately 45% of total revenue in Q4, and has a prospective run rate of approximately $103 million based on our July 2026 recurring service revenue. Our revenue growth and margin expansion in Q4 resulted in a 53% increase in net income, a 44% increase in Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and our Adjusted EBITDA margin was 36.8% as compared to 28.1% in Q4 of Fiscal 2025.

As such we are pleased to continue our dividend program and will be increasing the quarterly dividend by 13.3% to $0.17 per share, which will be paid on October 2, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 11, 2026."
