VirTra（VTSI）2026年第2四半期決算説明会：売上高が改善、受注残高は2,490万ドルに達する

VirTra（NASDAQ: VTSI）は、2026年6月30日を末日とする第2四半期において、前四半期比での売上高への転換および受注額の改善を報告しました。しかし、顧客の資金調達、調達手続き、および検収のタイミングにより売上計上が引き続き遅延したため、売上高および収益性は前年同期比で減少しました。

要点

• 2026年第2四半期の売上高は580万ドルとなり、前年同期の700万ドルからは減少したものの、海外向け納入に支えられ、2026年第1四半期の350万ドルからは約66%増加しました。
• 受注額は前四半期の380万ドルから550万ドルに増加しました。第2四半期中に売上転換された分の多くを補充した結果、受注残高は約2,490万ドルを維持しました。
• 売上高の減少に加え、コンテンツ制作や製品開発への継続的な投資を反映し、売上総利益率は前年同期の69%から59%に低下しました。
• VirTraは30万ドルの純損失（希薄化後1株当たり0.02ドル）を計上しました。前年同期は20万ドルの純利益（希薄化後1株当たり0.02ドル）でした。
• 経営陣は、底固い需要環境は健全に推移しているものの、資金提供の決定、調達承認、設置、および顧客による検収のタイミングが、依然として短期的な最大の変動要因であると述べています。
• VirTraは、武器使用技能の開発、統合対地支援（ジョイントファイア）訓練、および対無人航空機システム（C-UAS）の3つの機能領域において、米陸軍マーケットプレイスに採用されました。

主要財務データ

2026年上半期（6カ月間）の売上高は920万ドルとなり、前年同期の1,410万ドルから減少しました。売上総利益は550万ドル（売上高比率60%）で、前年同期の1,000万ドル（同71%）を下回りました。また、同期間の純損失は約160万ドル（希薄化後1株当たり0.14ドル）を計上し、前年同期の純利益140万ドル（希薄化後1株当たり0.13ドル）から赤字転落となりました。

事業および業績の動向

受注額は、STEP契約、主要システムの注文、連邦政府顧客、および全米複数の販売地域全体で改善しました。経営陣はまた、資金供給が制約されていた環境下で購入を延期していた一部の連邦政府顧客からの動きが再開したことも挙げました。

VirTraは当四半期中に約10件の新しい訓練シナリオを制作し、過去のペースを大幅に上回りました。同社によると、このコンテンツ投資はプラットフォームの価値を高め、将来の受注を支え、変化する顧客要件に対応することを目的としています。

海外売上高は、以前に発注されたシステムの顧客による検収が進んだことで増加しました。経営陣によると、海外のパイプライン（案件候補）には、特に対無人航空機システム訓練に関連した、各国との直接的な取引や米国が関与する機会が含まれています。ただし、顧客の施設整備、設置スケジュール、訓練準備が整うまで、納入および売上計上が遅れる可能性があります。

同社は、軍のシミュレーション調達およびプログラム管理機関の近くにあるオーランド・キャンパスを取得し、防衛分野での存在感を拡大しました。この施設はVirTraのプログラム管理オフィスとして機能し、デモンストレーション、コンテンツ開発、エンジニアリング、およびプログラムの実行をサポートします。経営陣は、既存テナントからの賃貸収入が見込まれ、将来の財務業績にプラスに寄与すると期待しています。

経営陣の見通し

経営陣は、2026年の残りの期間中に受注残高のさらなる売上転換を見込んでいます。ただし、そのタイミングは顧客の資金調達、調達プロセス、設置スケジュール、検収時期に依存します。

同社は、2024年10月から注視していた3つの補助金プログラムが公募開始され、顧客が資金申請を提出し、交付決定が近づいていると明らかにしました。また、軍や連邦機関からの情報提供依頼（RFI）や提案依頼（RFP）が増加していることも報告しました。

経営陣は、地政学的動向、選挙、資金の有無、顧客側の受け入れ体制によって調達・納入サイクルが長期化する可能性があるため、海外売上高は引き続き不均衡な推移をたどると強調しました。

リスクと注視すべき事項

• 顧客の資金調達、調達承認、および検収プロセスはVirTraの直接的な管理外にあり、決算期をまたいで売上高が変動する要因となります。
• 海外売上高は本質的に不規則であり、調達サイクルが長く予測が困難です。
• 軍関連案件は、評価および提案活動から契約獲得に至るまでに大幅な時間を要する可能性があります。
• 売上高の減少と、コンテンツおよび製品開発への継続的な投資が、第2四半期の売上総利益率を圧迫しました。
• 納入を支える在庫購入やオーランド物件の取得などにより、上半期の現金残高は減少しました。

投資家質疑応答のハイライト

経営陣は、再開された補助金プログラム、顧客からの資金申請、間近に迫る交付決定、連邦・軍による公募の増加を、資金調達環境が改善している証拠として挙げました。また、米陸軍マーケットプレイスへの採用も、3つの訓練カテゴリーにおける技術力の証明として言及されましたが、それに伴う機会の時期や規模を予測するには時期尚早であると説明しました。

海外事業に関して、経営陣は、顧客がシステムを受け入れる準備が整う前に注文の資金が手配される場合があるため、売上高の継続性に欠ける点に注意を促しました。したがって、売上計上は施設整備、設置作業へのアクセス、必要な訓練の完了、および検収プロセスに依存します。

John Givens

seat sir. Thank you Drew and thank you everyone for joining us this afternoon. After the market closed today, we issued a press release that provided our financial results for the second quarter, ended June 30, 2026, along with an update on our business and operating environment. For the quarter, revenue totaled $5.8 million, bookings were $5.5 million, and backlog remained strong at approximately $24.9 million. These results reflected improved revenue conversion compared to the first quarter, particularly within our international business, while customer funding and procurement timing continue to influence our overall performance. As we discussed over the last several quarters, the fundamental demand environment for VirtuaSolution has remained intact. The primary challenge has not been demand, but rather the timing associated with the funding awards, the procurement approvals, and customer acceptance processes. During the second quarter, we continue to see evidence that these processes are moving forward.

Multiple grant programs have reopened, funding allocations are moving through the system, and customers are actively submitting applications and advancing procurement efforts. While there are still several steps between an application and revenue recognition, we believe these developments represent meaningful progress compared with the constrained funding environment we've experienced over the last two years. Importantly, once funding is awarded and purchase orders are issued, our team remains well positioned to fulfill orders quickly. The uncertainty today is less about the customer's interest and more about the timing of administrative and procurement processes outside of our control. This quarter provided additional evidence that many of those processes are beginning to move. We saw stronger bookings, improved revenue conversion, and renewed activity from customers that had been largely inactive for extended periods. We also maintained a healthy backlog while converting revenue during the quarter. which speaks to the underlying level of customer interest we continue to see across our markets.

Turning to bookings, we generated $5.5 million during the quarter, up from $3.8 million in the first quarter. Activity included step agreements, capital system orders, renewed federal activity, and contributions across multiple domestic territories. One encouraging development was a return of activity from certain federal customers that had delayed purchasing decisions while funding remained constrained. Our team is also seeing progress across all of our domestic sales territories as the funding environments evolve. While individual orders may vary, varying timing, the broader participation reinforces the continued need for realistic scenario-based training solutions. Our backlog ended the quarter at approximately $24.9 million. We replenished much of what we delivered through new booking activities.

We believe this reflects continued customer engagement and provides an important foundation as funding and procurement activities continue to advance. Internationally, we recognize revenue from previously awarded deployment during the quarter and continue to see encouraging activity across our pipeline. These opportunities often involve long procurement cycles and can be difficult to forecast, but we believe our international opportunities are set to strengthen. We are submitting proposals more frequently than in the past and are seeing favorable outcomes across a number of these opportunities. of engagement we are seeing today gives us confidence that this market will remain an important contributor to our long-term growth strategy. In the military market, we recently achieved an important milestone with our acceptance into the U.S. Army's marketplace across three sections, weapons skills development, joint fires training, and counter unmanned aircraft systems capability areas. While it remains too early to predict the timing or magnitude of these resulting opportunities, this acceptance validates the capability and operational relevance of our technology while demonstrating that our solutions are aligned with the evolving mission requirements of the U.S. military.

It significantly strengthens our position. within the military training ecosystem, and it expands our visibility with key stakeholders and enhances our ability to compete for future programs and long-term opportunities. As we've said before, military opportunities tend to involve lengthy procurement cycles and can take significant time to move from initial engagement to contract award. However, we continue to participate in evaluations, proposal activities, and discussions across a number of military and defense-related opportunities, and we believe our position within that market continues to improve. We also significantly expanded our long-term presence within the military training and simulation market through the acquisition of our Orlando campus during the quarter. Strategically located within Central Florida's premier defense and modeling and simulation and training ecosystem, the facility serves as virtual. Program Management Office and positions the company in close proximity to the U.S. Army's simulation acquisition organizations located in Research Park, as well as the simulation acquisition and program management organizations supporting the other military services.

This location substantially enhances our ability to collaborate with government customers throughout the acquisition lifecycle, respond rapidly to program opportunities, and support customer demonstrations. develop training content, and conduct collaborative engineering and program execution. In addition to strengthening our operational presence and competitive position within the defense community, the property provides operational presence and competitive positions within the defense community. And the property provides operational flexibility and includes tenant leases regularly. expected to contribute positively to future financial performance. From a product standpoint, we continue to focus on expanding the ways customers can apply Virtuous Technologies. Beyond our core training business, we have also begun evaluating opportunities to leverage our immersive content production capabilities and other internal resources for adjacent commercial applications. While these efforts remain in the early stages, they reflect our ongoing focus on identifying complementary revenue opportunities that can further leverage the infrastructure, expertise, and technologies we have built over time. In addition, we continue investing in one of our key competitive differentiators, our content.

During the quarter, we produced approximately 10 new scenarios significantly above historical levels. This investment expands the value of our platform for existing customers, it supports future booking opportunities and helps ensure agencies have access to training content aligned with evolving operational requirements. Overall, we believe the second quarter demonstrated continued progress across several areas of the business. Revenue conversion improved, bookings increased, international activity contributed meaningfully to results, and customers continued moving through grant and procurement processes. We recognize that external funding timings remain the largest variable affecting near-term performance. However, the activity we are seeing today, combined with our backlog, pipeline, military initiatives, and growing international opportunities, reinforces our view that the underlying demand environment remains healthy. on helping customers navigate funding and procurement processes, delivering best-in-class training solutions, and converting opportunities into bookings, revenue, and long-term shareholder value. I'll now turn the call over to Alana to go over the financial results in more detail.

Alana?.

Unknown Speaker

Thank you, John, and good afternoon, everyone. Let's now review our unaudited financial results for the second quarter and six-month ending June 30, 2026. Our total revenue for the second quarter was $5.8 million. Compared to $7 million in the prior year period, revenue increased significantly from $3.5 IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2026, REFLECTING IMPROVED REVENUE CONVERSION AND CONTRIBUTIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL DELIVERIES DURING THE QUARTER. BREAKING IT DOWN BY MARKET, GOVERNMENT REVENUE FOR THE SECOND QUARTER WAS 3.5 MILLION COMPARED TO 5.4 MILLION IN THE PRIOR YEAR PERIOD. INTERNATIONAL REVENUE FOR THE SECOND QUARTER WAS 2.2 MILLION COMPARED TO 1.4 MILLION IN THE FIRST QUARTER. in the prior year period. Our total revenue for the first six months was 9.2 million compared to 14.1 million in the prior year period.

The decrease primarily reflects the delayed customer funding procurement timelines and the customer acceptance activity that impacted the timing of our revenue recognition. Gross profit for the second quarter was 3.4 million or 59% of the total revenue compared to 4.8 million or 69% of the total revenue in the prior year period. Our gross margin continued to reflect the impact of lower revenue volume and our ongoing investments in content production and product development. initiatives. During the quarter, we continued producing new training content at an accelerated pace to support future customer deployments and platform adoption. Our gross profit for the first six months was $5.5 million, or 60% of the total revenue, compared to $10 million, or 71% of the total revenue in the prior year period. And again, that decrease was driven by those lower revenue volumes and our continued investment in strategic content and development initiatives to support future growth opportunities. OUR NET OPERATING EXPENSE FOR THE SECOND QUARTER WAS 3.6 MILLION COMPARED TO 3.9 MILLION IN THE PRIOR YEAR PERIOD.

AND OUR NET OPERATING EXPENSE FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS WAS 7.1 MILLION COMPARED TO 7.7 MILLION IN THE PRIOR YEAR PERIOD. THIS REFLECTS DISCIPLINE EXPENSE MANAGEMENT WHILE CONTINUING TO INVEST IN THE SECOND QUARTER. to invest in our key growth initiatives. Loss from operations for the second quarter was approximately 0.2 million compared to operating income of 0.2 million in the prior year period. Loss from operations for the first six months was approximately 1.5 million compared to operating income of 1.5 million in the prior year period. Our net loss for the second quarter was 0.3 million or two cents per diluted share compared to net income of 0.2 million or two cents per diluted share in the prior year period. Net loss for the first six months is approximately 1.6 million or 14 cents per diluted share compared to net income of 1.4 million 13 cents per diluted share in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was 0.4 million for the second quarter compared to 0.7 million in the prior year period.

And for six months of 2026, adjusted EBITDA was approximately 0.4 million compared to 2.4 million in the negative 0.4 million compared to 2.4 million in the prior year period. As of June 30th, cash and cash equivalents totaled $14.3 million compared to $18.6 million at December 31st, 2025. During the first half of the year, our cash usage reflected investment in inventory supporting customer deliveries, including our international shipments, as well as the acquisition of a our Orlando facility. As John mentioned, we completed that acquisition of our Orlando campus during the quarter. And in addition to strengthening our presence within the defense training simulation market, the property includes tenant leases that generate rental income and are expected to contribute positively to future financial performance. Now, Virtro defines bookings as the total of newly signed contracts, awarded RFPs and purchase orders received in a given period, and bookings for the second quarter totaled $5.5 million compared to $3.8 million in the first quarter. The increase reflected contributions from step agreements, capital system orders, renewed activities, and new contracts. from our federal customers and a number of capital systems purchased across all of our domestic sales territories.

Gertrude defines backlog as the accumulation of bookings from signed contracts and purchase orders that are not yet started or incomplete in their performance obligations, and therefore cannot be recognized as revenue until delivered in a future period. We segment this backlog into three primary categories, capital, which includes our simulator systems, accessories, installs, training, custom content, and design work. Our service, which is primarily extended warranty and support contracts, and then STEP, our long-term subscription-based program. Our Our backlog at June 30, 2025 stood at 24.9 million. This included 13.2 million in capital, 3.8 million in service and 7.9 million in step contracts. During the quarter, we converted a portion of our backlog into revenue, including the first phase of a previously awarded international deployment. We expect additional backlog conversions during the remaining of the year.

Although timing will continue to depend on customer funding, the procurement processes and the installation schedules and accepted timelines. In summary, we're encouraged by the improvement in revenue conversion bookings and adjusted EBITDA during the quarter. And while customer funding and procurement timing continues to influence our near-term results. We believe our backlog, recurring revenue streams, discipline expense management, and strong balance sheet position positions as well to support future growth opportunities. That concludes my prepared remarks and I'll turn the call back over to John for his closing comments.

John Givens

Thank you, Alana. We are encouraged by the progress we saw during the second quarter, including the improved revenue conversions, those stronger bookings, and continued backlog strength and growing customer activity across funding and procurement channels. We also continued advancing our position in both the international and the military markets while expanding our long-term capabilities throughout the acquisition of our Orlando campus. Funding and procurement timings remain key variables. We do believe the underlying demand environment remains healthy. Our focus remains on supporting our customers, executing on opportunities in front of us, and converting continued engagement into revenue growth over time. That concludes our prepared remarks. Drew, please open the call for questions.

Operator

Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, you may press star then 1 on your telephone keypad. If you're using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. If at any time your question has been addressed and you would like to withdraw your question, please press star then 2. At this time we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster. I see that there are no questions in the live queue at this time. The company has received from investors questions to address now.

Question one, you discussed seeing meaningful progress in the funding environment in including reopened grant programs and renewed federal activity, What specific indicators are giving you greater confidence today, and how should investors think about the path from that activity to bookings and ultimately revenue?.

John Givens

Yes, that's a great question. The indicators are pretty strong and pretty glaringly obvious. The grants as far as there are three separate grants that we've been waiting on since October of 2024, and they've released those and we've been, We've been assisting our customers to the level that we can, and they've been submitting to those grants for appropriate funding for their needs. So just seeing that they were released was number one. Number two, that those submissions and our customers submitted requests. And then number three is that they are about to close on those and then award, they've announced that they will have a list out of who was awarded those funds. That's from the grant side, mostly law enforcement. The side on the military is the release of both both requests for information, they're trying to see who's out there in the market space that can fulfill their requirements.

The second piece is the request for proposals that have been put out there that we've responded to. both from military to federal agencies, have requests in which we've submitted. The other positive indication is that we were awarded and accepted onto the new marketplace for the US Army in three separate categories. In the past, we would have never qualified for the other categories, but because of our content And the flexibility that we've built into the system, we now are able to do just what Virtra does, the weapons skills trainers. Then we have – there's another set for joint fires for artillery and close air support. And then the third one is counter UAS, where – drones, it's a drone defense as well. And that's both for the military and for the law enforcement. So all of those are the really positive signs that we've seen in this fund's release.

Operator

Thank you. Question two, international revenue contributed meaningfully to the sequential improvement this quarter. What are you seeing in the international pipeline?.

Unknown Speaker

And just to verify, go ahead. No, no, go ahead. I'm sorry.

Operator

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure I say this correctly. What are you seeing in the international pipeline, and how should investors think about the potential consistency of that business given the longer procurement cycles?.

John Givens

Excuse me, thank you. Yes, I'll answer the second half of that because that's a much easier one. There is no consistency in the international market. We've been in an RFP process, and you get down the pipeline, and then there's delays for some reason or the other, whether it's geopolitical or same issues that happen in the U.S. with funding and elections and those things. So I apologize. we can't give you the certainty of that long-term and the continuity of that. It's a very lumpy revenue in the international space. But what we are seeing is we are seeing a bunch of different levels, both with U.S. involvement and and directly from countries, we're seeing the need for training in the UAS with everything happening overseas now, most people are aware of, and with some of the other items and issues and threats that are out there, VIRTUA is positioned well. to be able to meet those mission critical demands. So what contributed to this last quarter were some international sales that we had made that they just couldn't take it because of facilities or timing, and they were able to take some of those orders.

So that's what we were talking about about the timing of when we receive the order because they want to spend the money and obligate it, but they're not ready to actually receive it, so we can't recognize the revenue. So we see that quite often with our foreign intermediaries national sales just because when they have the money, they want to get it obligated on something so it can't be taken away. And then we have to work with them to try to figure out when their facilities are there, when their processes are able, or when we can get in there to do the installation and training.

Operator

Thank you. At this time, this concludes our question and answer session. Thank you for joining us today for Virtra's second quarter 2026 conference call. You may now disconnect.
