Company Demonstrates Meaningful Progress on Strategic Transformation While Expanding Recurring Revenue Streams

ALPHARETTA, Ga., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mynd.ai, Inc. (the “Company” or “Mynd.ai”) (NYSE American: MYND), a global leader in interactive technology solutions for education and enterprise, today reported financial results for the first half of 2026, highlighting continued progress on its operational transformation, improved profitability metrics, and strengthened liquidity flexibility.

The first half of 2026 reflected continued execution against Mynd.ai’s operating transformation: stronger gross margin, materially lower operating expenses, improved Adjusted EBITDA, and reduced cash used to fund operations, while the Company continued to build recurring revenue through services and software-as-a-service (“SaaS”). Management believes these actions are creating a more efficient operating model and positioning the Company to pursue sustainable growth as market conditions improve.

Key highlights for the first half of 2026 compared with the first half of 2025:

• Gross margin expanded 220 basis points to 24% from 22% in the prior-year period
• Total operating expenses reduced 35% to $31.5 million from $48.5 million in the prior-year period
• Net loss narrowed 30% to $20.2 million from $28.9 million in the prior-year period
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ improved 52% to a loss of $9.1 million from a prior-year loss of $19.0 million
• Net cash used in operating activities improved 36%, or $14.8 million, compared to the prior-year period
• Free cash flow¹ improved 36%, or $15.4 million, compared to the prior-year period
• Service and SaaS revenue grew year-over-year, demonstrating continued momentum in recurring revenue streams despite lower total revenue in the period

“Our first half results show that our structural transformation is delivering measurable progress,” said Arthur Giterman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “Despite a challenging demand environment across the education technology sector, we expanded gross margins, reduced operating expenses by 35%, narrowed net loss by 30%, improved Adjusted EBITDA by 52%, and significantly reduced operating cash usage. We remain focused on disciplined execution, liquidity management, and continued growth in our SaaS and services businesses.”

Strategic Updates

During the first half of 2026, the Company enhanced its financial flexibility through a strategic inventory financing arrangement with its majority shareholder, NetDragon Websoft Holdings Limited, providing access to up to $50.0 million in revolving inventory financing. As of the date of this release, approximately $25.7 million remained available under the facility. In April 2026, the Company fully paid off the Bank of America revolving facility and in July 2026, the Company finalized the termination of the facility, eliminating all associated obligations and guarantees and simplifying the Company’s financing structure.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements reflect Mynd’s current expectations and projections about future events at the time, and thus involve uncertainty and risk. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “may,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “optimistic,” and the negatives of these words and other similar expressions generally identify forward looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Mynd’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 29, 2026, as such factors may be updated from time to time in Mynd’s periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website at www.mynd.ai. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s compliance plan, expected liquidity, anticipated cost savings, and future performance. While forward-looking statements reflect Mynd’s good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. Mynd.ai disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this press release, except as required by applicable law.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that providing the non-GAAP (“Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”) information to investors, in addition to the GAAP presentation, allows investors to view the financial results in the way management views the operating results. We further believe that providing this information allows investors not only to better understand our financial performance, but more importantly, to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. The non-GAAP information included in this press release should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business, for making operating decisions and for forecasting and planning for future periods. Our annual financial plan is prepared both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, and the non-GAAP annual financial plan is approved by our board of directors. Continuous budgeting and forecasting for revenue and expenses are conducted on a consistent non-GAAP basis, in addition to GAAP, and actual results on a non-GAAP basis are assessed against the non-GAAP annual financial plan. In addition, and as a consequence of the importance of these measures in managing the business, we use non-GAAP measures and results in the evaluation process to establish management’s compensation. For example, our annual bonus program payments are based in part upon the achievement of consolidated revenue and Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) targets.

Reconciliations with respect to the Non-GAAP figures included in this press release to such Non-GAAP figure’s most comparable GAAP figure are included in the financial tables below.
