Executive Summary

BK Technologies Corporation (NYSE American: BKTI) (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, "BK," the "Company," ''we" or ''us") is a holding company that, through BK Technologies, Inc., its operating subsidiary, provides public safety grade communications products and services designed to make first responders safer and more efficient. All operating activities described herein are undertaken by our operating subsidiary.

In business for over 70 years, BK operates one business segment through its operating subsidiary, BK Technologies, Inc. BK has two product groups within the segment: LMR Radio and Solutions.

The Radio product group designs, manufactures and markets wireless communications products and related accessories consisting of two-way land mobile radios ("LMRs"). Two-way LMRs can be radios that are hand-held (portable) or installed in vehicles (mobile).

Generally, BK Technologies-branded products serve government markets, including, but not limited to, emergency response, public safety, homeland security and military customers of federal, state and municipal government agencies, as well as various industrial and commercial enterprises. We believe that our products and solutions provide superior value by offering high specification, ruggedized, durable, reliable, feature rich, Project 25 ("P25") compliant radio products at a lower cost relative to comparable offerings.

The Solutions product group focuses on delivering innovative products and smartphone applications which operate ubiquitously over public cellular networks. Our BK ONE branded solutions are designed to provide advanced field applications that enhance situational awareness, decision-making and interagency coordination that enable the first responder to be safer and more efficient. Our BK ONE portfolio provides law enforcement improved safety and productivity, fire incident first responders more situational awareness and EMS first responders with enhanced patient safety and advanced care measures. When tethered to our radios, the combined solution offers an enhanced user experience with more unique capability which increases the sales reach of our radios.

The Company continues to monitor the impacts of various macroeconomic trends, such as inflationary pressure, changes in monetary policy, decreasing consumer confidence and spending, the introduction of or changes in tariffs or trade barriers, supply chain and labor disruptions, materials shortages, political and social unrest, geopolitical conflicts, and global or local recession. Such changes in domestic and global macroeconomic conditions may lead to increased costs for the business. Additionally, these macroeconomic trends could adversely affect the Company's customers, which could impact their willingness to spend on the Company's products and services, or their ability to make payments, which could harm the collection of accounts receivable and financial results. The world's financial markets remain susceptible to significant stresses, resulting in reductions in available credit and government spending, economic downturn or recession, foreign currency fluctuations and volatility in the valuations of securities generally. As a result, the Company's ability to access capital markets and other funding sources in the future may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The rapid development and fluidity of these situations precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact they will have on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows, which will depend largely on future development.

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). On March 4, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ("CIT") ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund certain tariffs collected under IEEPA. The Company identified certain potential refunds of previously paid tariffs in accordance with the ruling by the CIT and has estimated the total potential recovery to be approximately $0.6 million, which recovery remained subject to administrative review and final liquidation of the underlying customs entries by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. These potential refunds represent gain contingencies under ASC 450-30 and have not been recognized in the financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as uncertainties remain regarding government approval and appeals and final liquidation amounts. The Company will continue to monitor developments and recognize refunds when realized or realizable, however, no assurance can be given that the Company will recoup any IEEPA tariff refunds

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, sales increased approximately 10.6% to approximately $23.4 million, compared with $21.2 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025. The increase was attributed primarily to the shipments of BKR series radio product and accessories sales. Gross profit margins as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026, were 51.9%, compared with 47.4% for the comparative fiscal year 2025 quarter, generally reflecting radio product and accessories sales mix. Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026, totaled approximately $8.3 million (35.5% of sales), compared with $6.0 million (28.5% of sales) in the same period of fiscal year 2025. We recognized operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, of approximately $3.8 million, compared with operating income of approximately $4.0 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, we recognized other income, net totaling approximately $174,000 and $19,000, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the pretax income totaled approximately $4.0 million, compared with pretax income of approximately $4.0 million for same period of fiscal year 2025.

We recognized tax expense of $0.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, and approximately $0.3 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, totaled approximately $3.2 million ($0.84 per basic and $0.79 per diluted share), compared with a net income of approximately $3.7 million ($1.03 per basic and $0.96 per diluted share) for the same period last year. The primary factor for the decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2025, is primarily related to federal and state estimated tax expense.

As of June 30, 2026, working capital totaled approximately $46.1 million, of which $42.1 million was comprised of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables. This compares with working capital totaling approximately $37.3 million at 2025 year-end, which included $30.0 million of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables.

We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly results, in part, due to governmental customer spending patterns that are influenced by government fiscal year-end budgets and appropriations. We may also experience fluctuations in our quarterly results, in part, due to our sales to federal and state agencies that participate in wildland fire-suppression efforts, which may be greater during the summer season when forest fire activity is heightened. In some years, these factors may cause an increase in sales for the second and third quarters, compared with the first and fourth quarters of the same fiscal year. Such increases in sales may cause quarterly variances in our cash flow from operations and overall financial condition.

Second Quarter and Six Months Summary

Customer demand and new orders for our products was $18.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $18.3 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025.

For the second quarter of 2026, sales increased 10.6% to approximately $23.4 million, compared with approximately $21.2 million of sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026, totaled approximately $44.7 million, an increase of 11.2% compared with approximately $40.2 million for the same period last year. Gross profit margin as a percentage of sales for the second quarter of 2026 was approximately 51.9%, compared with 47.4% for the same period of fiscal year 2025, generally reflecting BKR radio product and accessories sales mix compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Gross profit margin as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was approximately 51.8%, compared with approximately 47.2% for the same period last year. Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the second quarter of 2026 totaled approximately $8.3 million, which was 37.7% higher than the SG&A expenses of approximately $6.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. The increase in SG&A expenses was attributed primarily due to software, new product development costs and legal expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2026 totaled approximately $16.1 million, which was 33.0% higher than the SG&A expenses of approximately $12.1 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025. These factors yielded operating income of approximately $3.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared with operating income of approximately $4.0 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025. Operating income for the first six months of 2026 was approximately $7.1 million, compared with operating income of approximately $6.9 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025.

For the second quarter of 2026, we recognized other net income of approximately $174,000 on interest income on our cash investments and other expenses, compared to approximately $19,000 other income, primarily related to interest income partially offset by other expenses for the same period of fiscal year 2025. For the first six months of 2026, we recognized other net income of approximately $329,000 on interest income, primarily on our cash investments and other expenses, compared to approximately $95,000 other expense, primarily related to other expenses exceeding interest income for the same period of fiscal year 2025.

Provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was approximately $0.8 million, compared with provision for income taxes of approximately $0.3 million for the same quarter last year. The primary factor for the increase for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2025, is related to utilization of research and development tax credits for 2025. Provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was approximately $1.5 million, compared with provision for income taxes of approximately $0.9 million for the same period last year.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was approximately $3.2 million ($0.84 per basic and $0.79 per diluted share), compared with net income of approximately $3.7 million ($1.03 per basic and $0.96 per diluted share) for the same quarter last year. The primary factor for the decrease for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2025, is related to federal and state estimated income tax expense. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was approximately $5.9 million ($1.57 per basic and $1.47 per diluted share), compared with net income of approximately $5.9 million ($1.63 per basic and $1.51 per diluted share) for the same period last year.

Net Sales

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, net sales increased 10.6% to approximately $23.4 million, compared with approximately $21.2 million for the same quarter of fiscal year 2025. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026, totaled approximately $44.7 million, compared with approximately $40.2 million for the six-month period last year.

Sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, were attributed primarily to state and local public safety opportunities. From a product perspective, the primary contributor to orders and shipments during the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, was our BKR series radios and related accessories. The BKR Series is envisioned as a comprehensive line of new products, which includes new models such as the BKR 9000, which achieved first sales in the second quarter of 2023.

We believe that the BKR Series products should increase our addressable market by expanding the number of Federal, state and local public safety customers that may purchase our products. However, the timing and size of orders from agencies at all levels can be unpredictable and subject to budgets, priorities, and other factors. Accordingly, we cannot assure that we will be able to develop additional BKR Series products on the anticipated timelines, or at all, or that sales will occur under particular contracts, or that our sales prospects will otherwise be realized.

While the potential impacts of the current administration's tariff policies, material shortages, lead-times, high inflation and ongoing geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine and other geopolitical events remain uncertain in the coming months and quarters, such effects have the potential to adversely impact our customers and our supply chain. Such negative effects on our customers and suppliers could adversely affect our future sales, gross profit margins, operations and financial results.

Cost of Products and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit margins as a percentage of sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, were approximately 51.9% compared with 47.4% for the same quarter of fiscal year 2025. Gross profit margins as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026, were approximately 51.8% compared with 47.2% for the same period of fiscal year 2025. Our cost of products and gross profit margins are primarily derived from material, labor, and overhead costs, product mix, manufacturing volumes and pricing. The increase in gross profit margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2025, generally reflect radio product and accessories sales mix.

We utilize a combination of internal manufacturing capabilities and contract manufacturing relationships for production efficiencies and to manage material and labor costs. While we anticipate continuing to do so in the future, we have increased and are continuing to increase our utilization of contract manufacturing resources, which provides increased flexibility for our production capacity to meet increased demand. We believe that our current manufacturing capabilities and contract relationships or comparable alternatives will continue to be available to us. However, we may encounter new product costs and competitive pricing pressures in the future and the extent of their impact on gross margins, if any, is uncertain.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses consist of marketing, sales, commissions, engineering, product development, management information systems, accounting, headquarters, and non-cash share-based employee compensation expenses.

SG&A expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, totaled approximately $8.3 million (35.5% of sales), compared with approximately $6.0 million (28.5% of sales) for the same quarter of fiscal year 2025. SG&A expenses increased by $4.0 million, or 33.0%, to approximately $16.1 million (35.9% of sales), compared with approximately $12.1 million (30.0% of sales), for the six month period last year.

Engineering and product development expenses for the second quarter of 2026 totaled approximately $4.0 million (16.9% of sales), compared with approximately $2.3 million (10.9% of sales) for the same quarter of fiscal year 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, engineering and product development expenses totaled approximately $7.6 million (17.0% of sales), compared with approximately $5.0 million (12.5% of sales) for the six month period last year. The increase in engineering expenses was attributed primarily to development costs for the BKR multi-band mobile radio product and software development costs. Most of these activities were being performed by our internal engineering team and were their primary focus, combined with sustaining engineering support for our existing products. The precise date for developing and introducing new products is uncertain and can be impacted by, among other things, supply chain shortages, including the impact of tariffs and certain component lead times in coming months and quarters.

Marketing and selling expenses for the second quarter of 2026 totaled approximately $1.9 million (7.9% of sales), compared with approximately $1.9 million (9.2% of sales) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, marketing and selling expenses decreased approximately $0.1 million, or 3.0%, to approximately $3.7 million (8.2% of sales), compared with approximately $3.8 million (9.4% of sales) for the same period last year. Marketing and selling expenses for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2026 were primarily unchanged compared to the same period of 2025.

Other general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2026 totaled approximately $2.5 million (10.7% of sales), compared with approximately $1.8 million (8.5% of sales) for the same period of fiscal year 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other general and administrative expenses totaled approximately $4.8 million (10.6% of sales), compared with approximately $3.3 million (8.1% of sales) for the six-month period last year. The increase in other general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, was attributed primarily to non-cash stock compensation and the non-recurring nature of certain legal and corporate consulting expenses compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Operating Income

Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, totaled approximately $3.8 million (16.4% of sales), compared with operating income of approximately $4.0 million (18.9% of sales) for the same period of fiscal year 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our operating income totaled approximately $7.1 million (15.9% of sales), compared with operating income of approximately $6.9 million (17.2% of sales) for the six-month period last year. The decrease in operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period last year, was attributed to growth in product development costs and partially related to increased non-cash stock compensation and the non-recurring nature of certain legal and corporate consulting expenses.

Other Income

We recorded net other income of approximately $174,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with approximately $19,000 net other income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net other income totaled approximately $329,000, compared with net other expense of approximately $95,000 for the six month period last year. The increase in net other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025, is primarily related to interest income related to the increase of our cash balance compared to 2025.

Income Taxes

We recorded approximately $0.8 million and $1.5 million tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the same periods last year.

Our income tax provision is based on the effective tax rate for the year. The tax expense in any period may be affected by, among other things, permanent, as well as temporary, differences in the deductibility of certain items, in addition to changes in tax legislation. As a result, we may experience fluctuations in the effective book tax rate (that is, tax expense divided by pre-tax book income) from period to period.

As of June 30, 2026, our net deferred tax assets totaled approximately $4.5 million and were primarily derived from capitalized software and systems integration costs and deferred revenue.

In order to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets, we will need to generate sufficient taxable income in future years. We analyze all positive and negative evidence to determine if, based on the weight of available evidence, we are more likely than not to realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets. The recognition of the net deferred tax assets and related tax benefits is based upon our conclusions regarding, among other considerations, estimates of future earnings based on information currently available and current and anticipated customers, contracts, and product introductions, as well as historical operating results and certain tax planning strategies.

Based on our analysis of all available evidence, both positive and negative, we have concluded that, except for the capital loss carryforward of approximately $851,000, we will have the ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the necessary period to utilize the entire benefit for the deferred tax assets. We cannot presently estimate what, if any, changes to the valuation of our deferred tax assets may be deemed appropriate in the future. If we incur future losses, it may be necessary to record additional valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets recognized as of June 30, 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $7.5 million, compared with cash provided by operating activities of approximately $6.0 million for the same fiscal year period of 2025. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was primarily related to net income of $5.9 million, an increase of $3.2 million in accounts payable, a decrease of $0.8 million in inventories, an increase of $0.2 million in deferred revenues, partially offset by an increase of $5.0 million in accounts receivable and a $0.5 million decrease in accrued compensation and related taxes.

For the first six months of 2026, we had net income of approximately $5.9 million, compared with a net income of approximately $5.9 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025. Accounts receivable increased approximately $5.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with an increase of approximately $4.2 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to the timing of customer collections in the first six months of fiscal year 2026 and 2025. Accounts payable for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased approximately $3.2 million, compared with an increase of approximately $3.5 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to the increased purchases of finished goods during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Accrued other expenses increased during the first six months of 2026 by approximately $0.1 million compared with a decrease of $1.3 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025. The increase in accrued other expenses in the first six months of 2026, was related to the reversal of the increase that occurred during the first six months of 2025, related to contractual terms with our contract manufacturers. Inventories decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2026, by approximately $0.8 million compared to a decrease of approximately $0.5 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025. The decrease in inventories during the six months ended June 30, 2026, was primarily attributed to a decrease in raw materials and an increase in inventory allowance somewhat offset by an increase in finished goods. The decrease in inventories during the six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily attributed to a decrease in raw materials and work in process, somewhat offset by an increase in finished goods. Depreciation and amortization totaled approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with approximately $0.9 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025. The increase in depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to amortization of capitalized software and system integration costs. Depreciation and amortization costs are primarily related to manufacturing and engineering equipment and somewhat to software and integration cost amortization.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, totaled approximately $0.7 million, compared with approximately $1.5 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025. The net cash used in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, was attributed primarily to purchases of engineering equipment and tooling, compared to cash used for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, which was primarily attributed to capitalized software and system implementation costs and the purchase of engineering and manufacturing related equipment.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, approximately $0.4 million was provided by financing activities, compared with cash provided by financing activities of approximately $0.2 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025. Net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to proceeds from the exercise of common stock options, somewhat offset by the repurchase of common stock in the first six months of 2026.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance on June 30, 2026, was approximately $29.9 million. We believe these funds, combined with anticipated cash generated from operations and borrowing availability under our Fifth Third credit agreement, are sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the foreseeable future. We may, depending on a variety of factors, including market conditions for capital raises, the trading price of our common stock and opportunities for uses of any proceeds, engage in public or private offerings of equity or debt securities to increase our capital resources. However, financial and economic conditions, including those resulting from supply chain delays or interruptions, labor shortages, wage pressures, rising inflation, geopolitical events, the impacts of tariffs, and other force majeure events, could result in volatility in the financial and capital markets and could limit our access to credit and impair our ability to raise capital, if needed, on acceptable terms or at all. We also face other risks that could impact our business, liquidity, and financial condition.

On October 30, 2024, the Company's subsidiary, BK Technologies, Inc. entered into a Revolving Loan Commitment with Fifth Third Bank, National Association ("Fifth Third") which was amended on October 30, 2025 (as amended, the "RLC"). The Fifth Third RLC provides for a revolving line of credit with a maximum commitment of $6.0 million, with an accordion feature, if certain conditions are met, for up to an additional $8.0 million of borrowing capacity, totaling a maximum commitment of $14.0 million. The RLC will mature on October 30, 2028. Each advance shall accrue interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a range of SOFR plus 1.75% to 2.25% per annum, based on certain total debt coverage ratios. Each advance may be prepaid at any time without penalty and the entire line of credit commitment may be permanently terminated by BK Technologies, Inc. at any time upon 10 days' prior written notice to the lender without penalty. The Company has not utilized funding and there were no borrowings under the RLC agreement as of June 30, 2026, and as of the date of filing this report.

BK Technologies, Inc.'s repayment obligations under the RLC are guaranteed by the Company and secured by a pledge of essentially all of the assets of the Company and BK Technologies, Inc. The Company is subject to customary negative covenants, including with respect to our ability to incur additional indebtedness, encumber and dispose of their assets and enter into affiliate transactions. BK Technologies, Inc. must also comply with: (i) a maximum total funded debt ratio of 2.00 to 1.00; (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20 to 1.00 as measured on a rolling twelve-month basis, each measured at the end of each fiscal quarter and (iii) a requirement that the outstanding principal balance under the RLC will be $0 for at least 30 consecutive days during each annual period ending on October 30.

The Fifth Third RLC agreement provides for customary events of default, including: (1) failure to pay principal, interest or fees under the RLC when due and payable; (2) failure to comply with other covenants and agreements contained in the Revolving Loan Commitment agreement and the other documents executed in connection therewith; (3) the making of false or inaccurate representations and warranties; (4) defaults under other debt or other obligations of BK Technologies, Inc.; (5) money judgments and material adverse changes; (6) a change in control or ceasing to operate business in the ordinary course; and (7) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies include our revenue recognition process and our accounting processes involving significant judgments, estimates and assumptions. These processes affect our reported revenues and current assets and are, therefore, critical in assessing our financial and operating status. We regularly evaluate these processes in preparing our financial statements. The processes for revenue recognition, allowance for collection of trade receivables, allowance for excess or obsolete inventory and income taxes involve certain assumptions and estimates that we believe to be reasonable under present facts and circumstances. These estimates and assumptions, if incorrect, could adversely impact our operations and financial position.

The Company accounts for the costs of Land Mobile Radio (LMR) multi-band development within its products in accordance with ASC Topic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, under which certain LMR multi-band radio software and systems integration costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives of the related products. The Company began amortization of the multi-band mobile radio development costs for a period of 32 months, beginning on January 1, 2026.

There were no other changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
