Overview of Our Business
Executive Overview
At CXApp, we are at the forefront of transforming the modern workplace through AI-powered solutions that enhance employee experience, operational efficiency, and workplace intelligence. As a leader in this evolving market, our strategic focus is to drive sustainable growth, scale our enterprise customer base, and deliver innovative solutions that leverage data and artificial intelligence to optimize workplace experiences.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we focused on three strategic priorities:
| 1. | AI-First Product Innovation: During the quarter, we continued to strengthen our competitive differentiation through the development of AI-native workplace intelligence tools. Enhancements to our Generative AI analytics platform enabled improved data ingestion, real-time behavioral insights, and predictive modeling capabilities. These innovations support enterprise decision-makers in optimizing space utilization, workforce engagement, and operational agility. Our investment in state-of-the-art AI infrastructure in partnership with Google Cloud (GCP) is enabling intelligent and scalable solutions that will transform the modern workplace. |
| 2. | Step-change in scale following EngineRoom acquisition: Our customer expansion strategy remained focused on enterprise accounts across the financial services, healthcare and technology sectors. We delivered 38.5% year-over-year revenue growth during the quarter, despite the contribution from the EngineRoom acquisition being limited to less than one month of operations beginning June 3, 2026. We intend to leverage the combined platform to increase recurring and contractual technology revenue and expand the adoption of higher-margin platform offerings across our customer base. We believe these initiatives will enhance the quality of our revenue and support long-term growth and profitability. |
| 3. | Margin Decline through Cost Discipline: Gross profit was $1,071 thousand and $1,861 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared with $1,052 thousand and $2,126 thousand for the corresponding periods in 2025. Gross margin was 63.22% and 70.39% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared with 86.02% and 86.88% for the corresponding periods in 2025. The decrease primarily reflected a shift in revenue mix following the inclusion of EngineRoom's managed advertising and growth marketing advisory services beginning June 3, 2026, which have a higher direct-cost profile than the Company's subscription revenue. |
Looking forward, our leadership team remains committed to balancing innovation with financial discipline, ensuring that CXApp is positioned for long-term profitability and strategic growth. By leveraging our AI-driven platform and expanding our enterprise footprint, we aim to deliver scalable, data-driven solutions that address the evolving needs of hybrid workplaces.

Revenues
The Company derives revenue from subscription software as a service (SaaS), design, deployment and implementation services for its enterprise apps business. Revenue was $1,694 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1,223 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in revenue of $471 thousand, for the comparative quarters ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 was primarily contributed by the newly acquired subsidiary, EngineRoom, which added new revenue streams through managed advertising and growth marketing advisory services. EngineRoom operates across multiple service lines, including paid performance marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), social marketing, network development, website development, customer engagement, and advisory services. The Company noted an decrease in the revenue from licenses during this period however, it was compensated by increase in Professional Services revenue.
Recurring revenue represents revenue recognized from ongoing customer arrangements that provide software, platform, managed advertising, growth marketing advisory or other continuing services under contractual or renewable arrangements. Recurring revenue may include both Subscription Revenue and Non-Subscription Revenue depending on the nature of the underlying customer arrangement. It excludes one-time projects, hardware sales and other revenue that management does not consider to be recurring in nature.
Recurring revenue is a management operating metric and is not a measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It is not synonymous with Subscription Revenue. Refer following

Of the $1,557 thousand and $2,491 thousand for the three and six months, period ended June 30, 2026, of Recurring Revenue includes software platform, managed advertising, growth marketing advisory or other continuing services. The $137 thousand and $153 thousand for the three and six months, period ended June 30, 2026, of Non-recurring revenue consists of one-time projects, hardware and professional services.
For the three and six months, period ended June 30, 2025, subscription revenue represents Recurring Revenue and non-subscription revenue represents Non-Recurring Revenue as disclosed in the Note 3 - Disaggregation of Revenue.
Gross Margin
Cost of revenues includes the direct costs to deliver the services, including employees' and overhead. Cost of revenues were $623 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $171 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The gross profit margin was 63.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 86.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase in cost of revenues of approximately $452 thousand, or approximately 264%, for the comparative periods ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, was attributable to higher service mix that resulted in higher direct costs during the period.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist primarily of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Total operating expenses were $5,190 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $5,163 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
The increase of $27 thousand period over period was primarily the result of acquisition related cost of $208 thousand incurred for acquisition of EngineRoom. Other than that, the research and development decreased by approximately $505 thousand, sales and marketing was decreased by $109 thousand which was offset by increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $391 thousand and increase in amortization of intangibles by approximately $42 thousand.
Other Income/Expense
Other income/expenses was an expense of $5,152 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and an income of $973 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This change was primarily attributable to changes in fair value of derivative liabilities and warrant of $5,885 thousand and increase in interest expenses of $5 thousand and other expenses of $235 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company includes a non-GAAP measure that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other income, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management as the metric in which it manages the business. It is defined as EBITDA plus adjustments for other income or expense items, non-recurring items and non-cash stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that we believe is useful to investors and analysts because it illustrates the underlying financial and business trends relating to our core, recurring results of operations and enhances comparability between periods.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP and is not intended to be a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry. Investors should exercise caution in comparing our non-GAAP measure to any similarly titled measure used by other companies.
This non-GAAP measure excludes certain items required by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to information reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The table below presents our adjusted EBITDA, reconciled to net loss, which is the most comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated (in thousands).

We rely on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure for the following:
| ● | To compare our current operating results with corresponding periods and with the operating results of other companies in our industry; |
| ● | As a basis for allocating resources to various projects; |
| ● | As a measure to evaluate potential economic outcomes of acquisitions, operational alternatives and strategic decisions; and |
| ● | To evaluate internally the performance of our personnel. |
We have presented Adjusted EBITDA above because we believe it conveys useful information to investors regarding our operating results. We believe it provides an additional way for investors to view our operations, when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income (loss). By including this information, we can provide investors with a more complete understanding of our business. Specifically, we present Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental disclosure because of the following:
| ● | We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non- cash items including acquisition transaction and financing costs, impairment, unrealized gains, stock-based compensation, interest income and expense, and income tax benefit. |
| ● | We believe that it is useful to provide to investors with a standard operating metric used by management to evaluate our operating performance; and |
| ● | We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to compare our results to other companies. |
Even though we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, it does have limitations as an analytical tool. Thus, we strongly urge investors not to consider this metric in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) and the other condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include the fact that:
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; |
| ● | Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income or other taxes or the cash requirements to make any tax payments; and |
| ● | Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, thereby potentially limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of performance in compliance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and providing Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.
Financing Obligations and Requirements
Net cash used in operating activities was $4,455 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026, reflecting a net loss of $12,623 thousand, adjusted for noncash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the period, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $5,990 thousand from the issuance of convertible debt under the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into on March 27, 2026 and $2,464 thousand from its at-the-market offering program.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11,675 thousand and working capital surplus of $5,258 thousand. Management continues to implement expense-management and working-capital initiatives and evaluate available financing sources. Certain financing sources are dependent on market and contractual conditions, including the Company's stock price, trading volume, registration effectiveness and applicable issuance limitations. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for the Company's liquidity and going-concern disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue, in accordance with ASC 606, when control of the promised products or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. The Company derives revenue from its software as a service for cloud-based software, as well as design, implementation, other professional services for work performed in conjunction with its cloud-based software, and sale of hardware. The Company enters into contracts with its customers whereby it grants a non-exclusive cloud-based license for the use of its proprietary software and for professional services. The contracts may also provide for on-going services for a specified price, which may include maintenance services, designated support, and enhancements, upgrades and improvements to the software, depending on the contract. Licenses for cloud software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. All software provides customers with the same functionality and differs mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software.
License Subscription Revenue Recognition (Software As A Service)
With respect to sales of the Company's license agreements, customers generally pay fixed annual fees in advance in exchange for the Company's software service provided via electronic means, which are generally recognized ratably over the license term. Some agreements allow the customer to terminate their subscription contracts before the end of the applicable term, and in such cases the customer is generally entitled to a refund pro-rata but only for the elapsed time remaining at the point of termination, which would approximate the deferred revenue at such time. The Company's performance obligation is satisfied over time as the electronic services are provided continuously throughout the service period. The Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous access to its service. The Company's customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days from the receipt of a customer approved invoice.
The timing of the Company's revenue recognition related to the licensing revenue stream is dependent on whether the software licensing agreement entered into represents a service. Software that relies on an entity's IP and is delivered only through a hosting arrangement, where the customer cannot take possession of the software, is a service. Customers may purchase perpetual licenses or subscribe to licenses, which provide customers with the same functionality and differ mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software.
Renewals or extensions of licenses are evaluated as distinct licenses and revenue attributed to the distinct service is not recognized until: (1) the entity provides the distinct license (or makes the license available) to the customer and (2) the customer is able to use and benefit from the distinct license. Renewal contracts are not combined with original contracts, and, as a result, the renewal right is evaluated in the same manner as all other additional rights granted after the initial contract. The revenue is not recognized until the customer can begin to use and benefit from the license, which is typically at the beginning of the license renewal period. The Company recognizes revenue resulting from renewal of licensed software over time.
Revenue from performance marketing, search-engine optimization, customer engagement, network-development, advisory and website-development services. Revenue recognition is determined based on the performance obligations and transfer pattern established in the applicable customer contracts.
Professional Services Revenue Recognition
The Company provides integration and software customization professional services to its customers.
Professional services under milestone contracts are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract costs are expensed as incurred. Contract costs include all amounts that relate directly to the specific contract, are attributable to contract activity, and are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract.
Professional services are also contracted on the fixed fee and in some cases on a time and materials basis. Fixed fees are paid monthly, in phases, or upon acceptance of deliverables. The Company's time and materials contracts are paid weekly or monthly based on hours worked. Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate as direct labor hours are expended. Materials, or other specified direct costs, are reimbursed as actual costs and may include markup. The Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because the Company's right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date. For fixed fee contracts provided by in house personnel, the Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous service. Because the Company's contracts have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company did not incur any such losses. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors.
Hardware Revenue Recognition
For sales of hardware, the Company's performance obligation is fulfilled when the products are shipped to the customer, transferring title and ownership risks. Deliveries occur via drop-shipment by a third-party vendor and the Company leverages drop-ship arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse. The Company negotiates sale prices, pays suppliers directly, manages credit risk, and ensures product acceptability, acting as the principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis. Customers typically pay within 30 to 60 days of invoice receipt. The Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs of obtaining a contract when they are incurred because the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is less than a year.
Managed Advertising, Growth Marketing Advisory and Subscription Services Revenue Recognition
Following the acquisition of EngineRoom, the Company derives revenue from managed advertising services, and growth marketing advisory services. Managed advertising services primarily include performance and search marketing, customer engagement, communications and data services, campaign management and related digital marketing services. Growth marketing advisory services include website development and related advisory, network development, data-driven marketing insights and related consulting services. Subscription based revenue includes access to the EngineRoom platform and strategic advertising and access to search-engine optimization solutions. EngineRoom Platform generally represents an input used by the Company to deliver its services and is not a separately transferred software license.
The Company evaluates the goods and services promised in each customer contract to determine whether they are distinct performance obligations. A service is accounted for as a separate performance obligation when the customer can benefit from the service on its own or together with other readily available resources and the service is separately identifiable from the other promises in the contract. Multiple services are combined into a single performance obligation when the Company provides a significant integration service or when the services are highly interdependent or interrelated and are not separately identifiable in the context of the contract. Accordingly, the determination of whether managed advertising, subscription and growth marketing advisory services represent separate performance obligations or a single combined performance obligation is based on the specific terms of each customer contract.
Managed advertising, subscription and growth marketing advisory services generally represent a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Revenue from these services is recognized over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Company performs. Fixed recurring fees are recognized ratably over the applicable service period when the services are provided evenly throughout that period. The Company uses an elapsed-time output method because the recurring services are transferred to the customer in a consistent pattern over the service period.
Variable or activity-based consideration, including amounts related to advertising spend, campaign activity or other usage-based services, is recognized as the related activity is performed and the amount becomes known or determinable, to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.
Website development, platform enhancements and similar project-based deliverables are not included within advisory services merely because they may be sold together with advisory or marketing services. The Company evaluates these deliverables separately to determine whether they are distinct performance obligations. Revenue is recognized over time when the applicable criteria for over-time recognition are met, primarily where the services performed create no alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for work completed to date.
For managed advertising services, it is an integrated managed marketing campaign that combines campaign design, keyword and bid management, budget deployment, optimization, monitoring, reporting and third-party advertising inputs. The Company generally acts as principal when it controls that integrated service before transfer, is primarily responsible for fulfillment and the acceptability of the campaign, selects and directs the third-party providers, controls the media-buying process, contracts directly with the providers, remains obligated for provider costs regardless of customer collection, and has discretion in establishing the price charged to the customer. Therefore, the Company presents the customer billings, including advertising spend and other third-party inputs, as revenue on a gross basis.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity describes the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of its business operations, including working capital needs, debt service, acquisitions, contractual obligations and other commitments. We assess liquidity in terms of our cash flows from operations and their sufficiency to fund our operating and investing activities.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $5,258 thousand and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $11,675 thousand. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $12,623 thousand and used approximately $4,455 thousand of cash for operating activities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Critical Accounting Estimates
We consider an accounting judgment, estimate or assumption to be critical when (1) the estimate or assumption is complex in nature or requires a high degree of judgment and (2) the use of different judgments, estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
