Three and Six Months Financial Results

Net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were $1,470,400 and $2,697,500, reflecting increases of $389,400 (36.0%) and $674,200 (33.3%), from $1,081,000 and $2,023,300 for the same periods last year, respectively. The increases were driven by higher sales volume across both segments.

Gross profits were $622,700 and $1,092,600, compared with $376,700 and $721,000 in the prior-year periods. Gross margins improved to 42.3% and 40.5% from 34.8% and 35.6%, reflecting higher gross margins in Bioprocessing Systems Operations from its new DOTS platform products.

Operating expenses were $1,895,500 and $4,033,200, a decrease of $300,200 (13.7%) and $598,000 (12.9%) from $2,196,200 and $4,631,200 in the prior-year periods, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to operational cost reductions and cost savings initiatives, particularly in Bioprocessing Systems Operations and corporate expenses.

The Company recast its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to reflect the discontinued operations related to the sale of the Genie Division of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations in August 2025. As a result, it reflected income of $273,100 and $552,700, net of tax, respectively, with no corresponding amounts in the current-year periods.

The Company reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 of $1,233,800 and $2,823,100, or $(0.10) and $(0.24) per share respectively, compared with a net loss of $1,523,700 and $3,302,200, or $(0.13) and $(0.30) per share respectively, in the prior-year periods.

Management Commentary

Helena Santos, Chief Executive Officer of Scientific Industries, said, "At the mid-year point of our fiscal year we are highly encouraged by our results in both the VIVID and bioprocessing businesses, particularly with our new product development efforts. The revamped VIVID subscription plans are providing the Company with an important recurring revenue stream while providing customers with support options that fit their needs. Our machine learning VIVID model under development is showing extraordinary results and will position the VIVID as the premier automated pill counter in its class, and we are accomplishing all our goals while being mindful of the bottom line."

John Moore, Chairman, said "We are seeing exciting progress at Scientific Bioprocessing as we develop our DOTS sensing platform. Our pH sensor has yielded surprising insights beyond what we originally designed it to deliver, and we have completed the first round of customer trials. Bioprocessing today still relies heavily on manual, offline sampling, which leaves scientists working from a handful of data points across days of dynamic biology. A sensing approach that delivers continuous data - and extracts more meaning from that data - is what our customers need to shorten development timelines and improve the odds of successful scale-up."
