Quarterly Report for Quarter Ending June 30, 2026 (Form 10-Q)

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the financial statements and accompanying notes and other financial information in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 30, 2026.

Overview

We are a leading public safety technology company that combines data-driven solutions and strategic advisory services for law enforcement, security teams and civic leadership. In April 2023, we changed the company name, ShotSpotter, Inc., to SoundThinking, Inc., reflecting our broader impact on public safety through a growing set of industry-leading law enforcement tools and community-focused solutions. As part of the rebranding, we introduced the SafetySmart platform that includes seven data-driven tools consisting of: (i) our flagship product, ShotSpotter®, our leading outdoor gunshot detection, location and alerting system trusted by 171 cities and 21 universities and corporations as of June 30, 2026, (ii) CrimeTracer, an agency-wide crime data and intelligence platform that enables investigators, analysts, patrol officers and command staff to search through more than one billion criminal justice records from across jurisdictions, leverage dashboards and AI-assisted tools to generate tactical leads, and quickly make intelligent connections to solve cases, (iii) CaseBuilder, a one-stop investigative management system for tracking, reporting, and collaborating on cases, (iv) ResourceRouter, which directs the deployment of patrol and community anti-violence resources in an objective way to help maximize the impact of limited resources and improve community safety, (v) PlateRanger powered by Rekor®, an ALPR and vehicle identification solution that leverages AI and machine learning to enhance investigative efficiency and provide real-time data sharing for law enforcement, (vi) Field Agent, an AI layer that transforms public safety data into actionable intelligence and (vii) SafePointe, an AI-based weapons detection system designed to provide discreet, high-throughput screening that complements physical security measures without compromising visitor experience. These solutions may operate independently or together as an integrated system that connects detection, data analysis, resource deployment and case management workflows. We also offer other security use-case specific solutions, including ShotSpotter for Campus and ShotSpotter for Corporate, which are typically smaller-scale deployments of ShotSpotter gunshot detection vertically marketed to universities, corporate campuses and key infrastructure centers to mitigate risk and enhance security by notifying authorities of outdoor gunfire incidents, saving critical minutes for first responders to arrive. In the first quarter of 2025, we rolled out a perimeter-based sniper gunshot detection solution targeting utility substations, with initial pilots aimed at utility customers, conducted through SoundThinking Labs. SoundThinking Labs supports innovative use cases of the Company's technology to help protect wildlife and the environment.

Our gunshot detection solutions consist of highly-specialized, cloud-based software integrated with proprietary, internet-enabled sensors designed to detect outdoor gunfire. The speed and accuracy of our gunfire alerts enable law enforcement and security personnel to consistently and quickly respond to shooting events including those unreported through 911, which can increase the chances of apprehending the shooter, providing timely aid to victims, and identifying witnesses before they scatter, as well as aid in evidence collection and serve as an overall deterrent. When a potential gunfire incident is detected by our sensors, our system precisely locates where the incident occurred and applies machine classification combined with human review to analyze and validate the incident. An alert containing a location on a map and critical information about the incident is sent directly to subscribing law enforcement or security personnel through any internet-connected computer and to iPhone or Android mobile devices.

Our software sends gunfire data along with the audio of the triggering sound to our Incident Review Center ("IRC"), where our trained incident review specialists are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to screen and confirm actual gunfire incidents. Our trained incident review specialists can supplement alerts with additional tactical information, such as the potential presence of multiple shooters or the use of high-capacity weapons. Gunshot incidents reviewed by our IRC result in alerts typically sent within approximately 45 seconds of the receipt of the gunfire incident.

We offer our solutions on a software-as-a-service subscription model to our customers. We generate annual subscription revenues from the deployment of ShotSpotter on a per-square-mile basis. Our security solutions, ShotSpotter for Campus, and ShotSpotter for Corporate are typically sold on a subscription basis, each with a customized deployment plan. Our ResourceRouter solution, CaseBuilder, PlateRanger and CrimeTracer are also sold on a subscription basis generally customized based on the number of sworn officers in a particular city. We generate annual subscription revenues from the deployment of SafePointe on a per-lane basis, a lane being the detection area between two sensors. As of June 30, 2026, we had ShotSpotter, ShotSpotter for Campus, and ShotSpotter for Corporate coverage areas under contract covered over 1,072 square miles, of which over 1,047 square miles had gone live. Coverage areas under contract for ShotSpotter included 171 cities and coverage areas under contract for ShotSpotter for Campus and ShotSpotter for Corporate included 21 campuses/sites across the United States, South Africa, Uruguay, Brazil and the Bahamas, and included some of the largest cities in the United States. As of June 30, 2026, we had 365 SafePointe lanes under contract. Most of our revenues are attributable to customers based in the United States.

We continue to see growing interest in other solutions, including CrimeTracer. We expect CrimeTracer to also contribute to growth during 2026, although revenues from ShotSpotter are expected to continue representing a majority of our revenues for the foreseeable future. SoundThinking Labs projects are generally conducted in coordination with a sponsoring charitable organization and may or may not be revenue-producing. When they are revenue-producing, they will generally be sold on a cost-plus basis. As such, SoundThinking Labs projects will normally produce gross margins significantly lower than most of our other solutions. Additionally, we have pricing programs for Tier 4 and 5 law enforcement agencies (those with fewer than 100 sworn officers) that allow them to contract for our gunshot detection solutions to cover a footprint of less than three square miles, using standardized coverage parameters, at a discounted annual subscription rate.

Since our founding over 29 years ago, SoundThinking has been and continues to be a purpose-led company. We are a mission-driven organization that focuses on improving public safety outcomes. We accomplish this by earning the trust of law enforcement and providing solutions to help them better engage and strengthen the police-community relationships in fulfilling their sworn obligation to serve and protect all. Our inspiration comes from our principal founder, Dr. Bob Showen, who believes that the highest and best use of technology is to promote social good. We are committed to developing comprehensive, respectful, and engaged partnerships with law enforcement agencies, elected officials and communities focused on making a positive difference in the world.

We enter into subscription agreements that typically range from one to three years in duration. Substantially all of our sales are to governmental agencies and universities, which often undertake a prolonged contract evaluation process that affects the size or the timing of our sales contracts and may likewise increase our customer acquisition costs.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers and contract manufacturers to produce components of our solutions. We have no long-term contracts with these manufacturers and purchases from them are generally on a purchase order basis. Although we use a limited number of suppliers and contract manufacturers, we believe that we could find alternate suppliers or manufacturers if circumstances required us to do so, in part because a portion of the components required by our solutions are available off the shelf.

We generated revenues of $23.9 million and $25.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing a decrease of 8%. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenues from ShotSpotter represented approximately 64% and 68% of total revenues, respectively. Our current largest customer, the City of New York, accounted for 27% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The City of New York accounted for 25% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

We generated revenues of $48.1 million and $54.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing a decrease of 11%. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenues from ShotSpotter represented approximately 65% and 63% of total revenues, respectively. Our current largest customer, the City of New York, accounted for 27% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The City of New York accounted for 31% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenues generated within the United States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) accounted for $23.0 million and $25.2 million, respectively, or 96% and 97% of total revenues, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenues generated within the United States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) accounted for $46.4 million and $52.7 million, respectively, or 97% and 97% of total revenues, respectively.

We had a net loss of $4.8 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We had a net loss of $11.8 million and $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our accumulated deficit was $125.5 million and $113.7 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

We are focused on growing our business and believe that our future growth is dependent on many factors, including our ability to increase our customer base, expand the coverage of our solutions among our existing customers, expand our international presence, increase sales of our security solutions and retain our customers. Our future growth will primarily depend on the market acceptance for outdoor gunshot detection solutions and expanding into new markets for our other security solutions. Challenges we face in this regard include our target customers not having access to adequate funding sources, the fact that contracting with government entities can be complex, expensive and time-consuming, the fact that our typical sales cycle is often very long and difficult to estimate accurately and the fact that negative publicity about our company can and has caused current and potential future customers to evaluate the sales of our solutions more than in the past. We expect international sales cycles to be even longer than our domestic sales cycles. To combat these challenges, we invest in research and development, increase awareness of our solutions, invest in new sales and marketing campaigns, often in different languages for international sales, and hire additional sales representatives to drive sales to continue to maintain our position as a market leader. In addition, we believe that entering into strategic partnerships with other service providers to cities and municipalities offers another potential avenue for expansion.

We also focus on expanding our business by introducing new products and services to existing customers, such as CrimeTracer, PlateRanger and SafePointe, an AI-driven weapon detection system, and acquiring intellectual property assets. For instance, we have an opportunity to grow in the healthcare vertical with California's AB 2975 mandate, which requires weapon detection systems in all general acute care and psychiatric hospitals in 2027. We believe this legislation has created a substantial, addressable market opportunity for us. In addition, we also continue to develop and enhance mobile and field-based capabilities. We have introduced a ShotSpotter-to-drone integration to help agencies respond in real time and is live in 16 cities, and SafetySmart Field Agent, which is an AI-powered user experience which enables public safety officers to obtain public safety data, e.g., gunfire data from ShotSpotter and license plate reads from PlateRanger through one unified experience. We believe that developing and acquiring products for law enforcement in adjacent categories is a path for additional growth. We believe our large and growing installed base of police departments who trust SoundThinking's products, support, and way of doing business provide revenue growth opportunities. The ability to cross-sell new products provides an opportunity to grow revenues per customer and lifetime value. We will also focus on expanding into new markets in conjunction with new regulations in California requiring weapons detection systems in hospitals and exploring other new markets such as casinos. Challenges we face in this area include ensuring our new products are reliable, integrated well with other SoundThinking solutions, and priced and serviced appropriately. In some cases, we will need to bring in new skill sets to properly develop, market, sell or service these new products depending on the categories they represent.

With respect to international sales, we believe that we have the potential to expand our coverage within existing areas, and to pursue opportunities in Latin America and other regions of the world. By adding additional sales resources in strategic locations, including our recent hire of a Vice President in Brazil, we believe we will be better positioned to reach these markets. However, we recognize that we have limited international operational experience and currently operate in a limited number of regions outside of the United States. Operating successfully in international markets will require significant resources and management attention and will subject us to additional regulatory, economic, and political risks. We may face additional challenges that may delay contract execution related to negotiating with governments in transition, the use of third-party integrations and consultants. Moreover, we anticipate that different political and regulatory considerations that vary across different jurisdictions could extend or make it more difficult to predict the length of what is already a lengthy sales cycle.

Net New "Go-Live" Cities and Universities

Net new "go-live" cities and universities represent the number of cities and universities covered by deployments of our gunshot detection solution, ShotSpotter, that were formally approved by customers during the period, both from initial and expanded customer deployments, net of cities and universities that ceased to be "live" during the period due to customer cancellations. New cities and universities include deployed coverage areas that may have been sold, or booked,

in a prior period. We focus on net new "go-live" cities and universities as a key business metric to measure our operational performance and market penetration. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we went live in one new city but had some customer cancellations. Our net new "go-live" cities and universities were as follows:

Components of Results of Operations

Revenues

We generate annual subscription revenues from the deployment of ShotSpotter on a per-square-mile basis and generate annual subscription revenues from the deployment of SafePointe on a per-lane basis, a lane being the detection area between two sensors. Our security solutions, ShotSpotter for Campus and ShotSpotter for Corporate are typically sold on a subscription basis, each with a customized deployment plan. Our CrimeTracer, ResourceRouter, CaseBuilder and PlateRanger solutions are also sold on a subscription basis.

We derive the majority of our revenues from subscription services. We recognize subscription fees ratably, on a straight-line basis, over the term of the subscription, which for new customers is typically initially one to three years in length. Customer contracts include one-time set-up fees for the set-up of our sensors in the customer's coverage areas, training, and third-party integration licenses. If the set-up fees are deemed to be a material right, they are recognized ratably over three to five years depending on the contract term. Training and third-party integration license fees are recognized upon delivery.

For ShotSpotter sales to cities, we generally invoice customers for 50% of the total contract value when the contract is fully executed and for the remaining 50% when the subscription service is operational and ready to go live - that is, when the customer has acknowledged the completion of all the deliverables in the signed customer acceptance form. For SafePointe, we generally invoice 50% of the first year's subscription price when the contract is fully executed and the remaining 50%, as described above. For ShotSpotter for Campus, ShotSpotter for Corporate and CrimeTracer, we generally invoice customers 100% of the total contract value when the subscription service is operational, which is often soon after contract execution. All fees billed in advance of services being delivered are recorded as deferred revenue. The timing of when new miles go live can be uncertain and, as a result, can have a significant impact on the levels of revenues and deferred revenue from quarter to quarter.

For ShotSpotter, our pricing model is based on a per-square-mile basis. For SafePointe, our pricing model is based on a per-lane basis. For ShotSpotter for Campus, ShotSpotter for Corporate and CaseBuilder our pricing model is on a customized-site basis. For ResourceRouter, CaseBuilder and CrimeTracer, pricing is currently customized, generally tied to the number of sworn police officers in a particular agency. For PlateRanger, pricing is based on the placement and number of installed cameras. We may also offer discounts or other incentives in conjunction with all ShotSpotter sales in an effort to introduce the product, accelerate sales or extend renewals for a longer contract term. As a result of our process for invoicing contracts and renewals upon execution, our cash flow from operations and accounts receivable can fluctuate due to timing of contract execution and timing of deployment.

We generally invoice subscription service renewals for 100% of the total contract value when the renewal contract is executed. Renewal fees are recognized ratably over the term of the renewal, which is typically one year. While most of our customers elect to renew their agreements, in some cases, they may not be able to obtain the proper approvals or funding to complete the renewal prior to expiration. For these customers, we stop recognizing subscription revenues at the end of the current contract term, even though we may continue to provide services for a period of time until the renewal process is completed. Once the renewal is complete, we then recognize subscription revenues for the period between the expiration of the original term of the agreement and the completion of the renewal process in the month in which the renewal is executed. If a customer declines to renew its subscription prior to the end of the contract term, remaining setup fees, if any, are immediately recognized.

We generate revenues from subscriptions of CrimeTracer, cloud-based data services for advanced search and analysis tools. We also provide access to this technology platform to an intermediary to either be resold or combined with

their own materials, software and/or services, to create an integrated solution that is provided to their end-user customers. We recognize this revenue net of margins paid to the intermediary.

We also generate revenues from CaseBuilder, a first-of-its-kind digital case management solution that automates the process by which key information is input, captured and used to identify associated gun crime cases leading to the identification of persons of interest. Subscriptions for CaseBuilder recognize revenue similar to our ShotSpotter and CrimeTracer products. Revenue is also generated through sales channel intermediaries that include enhanced services. The sales channel intermediary contract includes an enterprise CaseBuilder solution with supplemental professional services to integrate CaseBuilder with the customer's existing systems that will remain in place.

For SafePointe, we generate revenues from subscriptions of our AI-based weapons detection system based on the number of entryways, or lanes, being covered.

For PlateRanger, we generate revenues from subscriptions of our AI-based advanced license plate recognition system based on the placement and number of installed cameras.

It is likely that international deployments may have different payment and billing terms due to their local laws, restrictions or other customary terms and conditions.

SoundThinking Labs projects may or may not be revenue-producing. When they are revenue-producing, they are generally sold on a cost-plus basis.

We anticipate that, due to rising costs of inflation, our customers may experience increased expenditures resulting in budget shortfalls and changes in their business cycle, which may cause delays in their ability to approve proposals for contracts.

Costs

Costs include the cost of revenues and impairment of property and equipment. Cost of revenues for ShotSpotter primarily includes depreciation expense associated with capitalized customer acoustic sensor networks, communication expenses, costs related to hosting our service applications, costs related to operating our IRC, providing remote and on-site customer support and maintenance and forensic services, providing customer training and onboarding services, certain personnel and related costs of operations, stock-based compensation and allocated overheads that include information technology, facility and equipment depreciation costs. Cost of revenues for our SafePointe solution are similar except that depreciation of the capitalized customer equipment is smaller due to the lower costs of SafePointe customer equipment.

Impairment of property and equipment is primarily attributable to our write-off of the remaining book value of sensor networks related to customers lost.

In the near term, we expect our cost of revenues to increase in absolute dollars as our installed base increases, although certain of our costs of revenues are fixed and do not need to increase commensurate with increases in revenues. In addition, depreciation expense associated with deployed equipment is recognized over the first five years from the go live date. We also expect cost of revenues to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in our customer success capabilities to drive growth and value for our customers.

For revenues generated through the sale of a proprietary software license and related maintenance and support services and professional software development services, cost of revenues generally includes employee compensation costs that are relatively fixed, third-party contractor costs, allocated facility costs and overhead, and the costs of billable expenses such as travel and lodging. The unpredictability of the timing of entering into significant professional services agreements may cause significant fluctuations in our costs which, in turn, may impact our quarterly financial results.

The cost of revenues for CrimeTracer, ResourceRouter, CaseBuilder and PlateRanger is generally related to employee compensation costs and data center hosting services, both of which are relatively fixed.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses. Consultants, salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation expense and other personnel costs are the most significant components of each of these expense categories. We include stock-based compensation expense incurred in connection with the grant of stock options and restricted stock units to the applicable operating expense category based on the equity award recipient's functional area.

In the first quarter of 2026, we implemented a reduction in force affecting approximately 15 employees to more effectively allocate our resources and to reduce operational costs. Restructuring expense related to the workforce reduction during the six months ended June 30, 2026, amounted to $0.5 million, consisting of cash expenditures for severance and other employee separation-related costs. We plan to keep our operating expenses relatively flat as compared to fiscal year 2025, which will be driven in part by planned cost reductions across our operating structure, offset by planned increases in research and development, largely to support efforts to execute our growth strategy

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel-related costs attributable to our sales and marketing personnel, commissions earned by our sales personnel, marketing expenses for trade shows and lead generation programs, consulting fees and travel and facility-related costs.

We expect sales and marketing expense will increase in the near-term in absolute dollars as we continue to grow our organization and may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the timing of commission expense, marketing campaigns and tradeshows.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel-related costs attributable to our research and development personnel, consulting fees and allocated facilities and general operational overhead. We have devoted our product development efforts primarily to develop new lower-cost sensor hardware, develop new features, improve functionality of our solutions, and adapt to new technologies or changes to existing technologies.

We are investing in engineering and data science resources to further develop and improve our products across the SafetySmart platform. The focus of this effort will be in the areas of data science modeling, user experience, core application functionality and backend infrastructure improvements, including integration of ShotSpotter gunshot data to enhance forecasting of gun violence.

We are also investing in research and development resources in conjunction with our SoundThinking Labs projects and initiatives. The initial focus of these efforts is to develop innovative sensor applications as well as to test and expand the functionality of our outdoor sensors in challenging environmental conditions. As mentioned above, we are piloting a perimeter-based sniper gunshot detection solution targeting utility substations, with initial pilots aimed at utility customers.

In the near term, we expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues as we increase our research and development headcount to further strengthen our software and invest in the development of our services.

We will continue to invest in research and development to leverage our large and growing database of acoustic events, which includes those from both gunfire and non-gunfire. We also intend to leverage third-party artificial intelligence and our own evolving cognitive and analytical applications to improve the efficiency of our solutions. Certain of these applications and outputs may expand the platform of services that we will be able to offer our customers.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel-related costs attributable to our executive, finance, and administrative personnel, legal, litigation, strategic communications, accounting and other professional services fees, and other corporate expenses and allocated overhead.

In the near term, we expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively flat as compared to fiscal year 2025.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net, consists primarily of interest income, interest expense and local and franchise tax expenses.

Income Taxes

Our income taxes are based on the amount of our income before tax and enacted federal, state and foreign tax rates, adjusted for allowable credits and deductions, as applicable. Historically, our income tax expense has been at the state level.

We continually monitor all positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of our deferred tax assets and may record assets when it becomes more likely than not, that they will be realized, which may impact the expense or benefit from income taxes.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We regularly assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. We consider projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies, then record a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of the net deferred taxes to an amount that is more likely than not able to be realized. Based upon our assessment of all available evidence, including the previous three years of income before tax after permanent items, estimates of future profitability, and our overall prospects of future business, we have determined that it is more likely than not that we will not be able to realize a portion of the deferred tax assets in the future. We will continue to assess the potential realization of deferred tax assets on an annual basis, or an interim basis if circumstances warrant. If our actual results and updated projections vary significantly from the projections used as a basis for this determination, we may need to change the valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax assets.

Revenues

The decrease in revenues of $2.0 million was primarily attributable to a reduction in revenue of approximately $2.2 million resulting from the non-renewal or delays of renewals of our contracts with multiple customers, as well as $0.9 million of other reductions primarily related to a reduction of catch-up revenue from various customers, which decrease was partially offset by $1.1 million in new bookings and expansions with existing customers.

Costs

The increase in total costs of $0.3 million was due primarily to an increase of $0.2 million due to an increase in information technology and facility costs and an increase of $0.1 million in cost of revenue due to the increase in impairment of property and equipment.

Sales and Marketing Expense

Sales and marketing expense decreased by $0.6 million, primarily due to decreased expense in commission expense related to brokerage services for the contract with the New York City Police Department.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense increased by $0.2 million, primarily due to an increase in headcount expense reflecting continued investment in product innovation, AI-driven capabilities, and platform enhancements.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense decreased by $0.2 million, primarily due to ongoing cost optimization initiatives.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net did not change materially compared to the same period in 2025.

Income Taxes

Our income taxes are based on the amount of our taxable income and enacted federal, state and foreign tax rates, adjusted for allowable credits, deductions and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, as applicable. A $33,000 and $0.1 million in provision for income taxes was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Revenues

The decrease in revenues of $6.2 million was primarily attributable to approximately $4.3 million of catch-up revenue comprising approximately $3.5 million of catch-up revenue during the first quarter of 2025 based on two

three-year contract renewals with the New York City Police Department and $0.8 million of catch-up revenue from various customers during the second quarter of 2025 compared to $0.1 million and $0.2 million of catch-up revenue in the first and second quarters of 2026, respectively, a reduction in revenue of approximately $2.7 million resulting from the non-renewal or delays of renewals of our contracts with multiple customers and $1.2 million of other reductions of services, which decrease was partially offset by $1.6 million in new bookings and expansions with existing customers.

Costs

The increase in total costs of $1.4 million was due primarily to an increase of $1.4 million in cost of revenue due to the increase in costs related to servicing a larger customer base and an increase of $0.5 million in impairment of property and equipment, which increase was offset by $0.5 million in reduced product maintenance costs.

Sales and Marketing Expense

Sales and marketing expense decreased by $1.4 million, primarily due to decreased expense in commission expense related to brokerage services for the contract with the New York City Police Department.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense increased by $0.6 million, primarily due to an increase in headcount expense reflecting continued investment in product innovation, AI-driven capabilities, and platform enhancements.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense did not change materially compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in legal fees, offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense.

Restructuring Expense

The increase of $0.5 million in restructuring expense was due to a restructuring charge comprised of workforce reduction severance and other employee separation-related costs and restructuring costs incurred in the first quarter of 2026.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net increased by $0.1 million compared to 2025.

Income Taxes

Our income taxes are based on the amount of our taxable income and enacted federal, state and foreign tax rates, adjusted for allowable credits, deductions and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, as applicable. A $0.1 million and $0.2 million in provision for income taxes was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Funds

Our operations have been financed primarily through net proceeds from debt financing arrangements and cash from operating activities. Our principal source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents totaling $6.4 million and accounts receivable of $24.5 million as of June 30, 2026. On June 30, 2026, we had approximately $36.0 million of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, with $4.0 million outstanding on our line of credit.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, our available credit facility and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We believe that despite our negative working capital, the costs to perform the short-term deferred revenue is relatively low compared to the balance of our deferred revenue of $36 million. However, should additional working capital be needed, we can utilize our unused credit facility. We believe that we will meet longer term expected future working capital and capital expenditure requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash balances and our available credit facility. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on sales

and marketing, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products and overall economic conditions. We may also seek additional capital to fund our operations, including through the sale of equity or debt financings. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the future sale of equity, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common stockholders. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. Additionally, there is no guarantee that debt or equity financing will be available to us on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

Use of Funds

Our historical uses of cash have primarily consisted of cash used for operating activities, such as expansion of our sales and marketing operations, research and development activities and other working capital needs, and cash used in investing activities, such as property and equipment expenditures to install infrastructure in customer cities in order to deliver our solutions and acquisitions. Our expected material cash requirements are similar to our historical uses of cash as well as in connection with contingent earnouts, our stock repurchase program and repayment of any outstanding debt obligations under our credit facility, each as described below.

Stock Repurchase Program

In November 2022, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program (the "2022 Repurchase Program") for up to $25.0 million of our common stock. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or by other methods in accordance with federal securities laws. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by management in its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions and applicable legal requirements. The stock repurchase program does not obligate us to purchase any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

There were no share repurchases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, $10.5 million remains available under the 2022 Repurchase Program.

Credit Facility

We have a revolving credit facility under our Credit Agreement with Columbia Bank ("Columbia Bank Credit Agreement") with a revolving credit commitment of $40.0 million and letter of credit sub-facility of $7.5 million that matures on October 15, 2027. Any amounts outstanding under the letter of credit sub-facility reduce the amount available for the Company to borrow under the revolving facility. The revolving loan facility is for general working capital purposes. Our available credit facility as of June 30, 2026 was $36.0 million. On June 30, 2026, there was $4.0 million outstanding on our line of credit. The Columbia Bank Credit Agreement subjects us to certain restrictive and financial covenants. We are in compliance with all the covenants under the Columbia Bank Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2026.

Operating Activities

Our net loss and cash flows used in operating activities are significantly influenced by our increase in headcount to support our growth, increase in legal expenses, outside services fees, sales and marketing expenses and our ability to bill and collect in a timely manner.

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $5.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 resulting in net cash used in operating activities of $7.3 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.4 million during the same period of 2025. This was primarily due to an increase in net loss of $7.2 million, a $7.1 million increase in deferred revenue, a decrease in non-cash activities of $2.2 million and a decrease of $0.2 million in prepaid and other assets, offset by an increase of $9.5 million in accounts receivable and a $1.3 million increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities, compared to the prior comparative period.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities consist of business acquisition expenditures, capital expenditures to install our solutions in customer coverage areas and purchases of property and equipment.

Investing activities used $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026. This was primarily driven by investments in property and equipment installed for our solutions in customer coverage areas. Investing activities used $2.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, for investments in property and equipment installed for our solutions in customer coverage areas.

Financing Activities

Financing activities includes net proceeds from our employee stock purchase plan and exercise of stock options, offset by payments for repurchases of our common stock.

Financing activities provided cash of $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 from our employee stock purchase plan. Financing activities used $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 which reflects payment of $1.0 million for repurchases of our common stock, offset by proceeds of $0.4 million from our employee stock purchase plan.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues, assets, liabilities, costs and expenses.
