Estimates Context

Notes: Consensus values retrieved from S&P Global*. Only one estimate was recorded for both revenue and EPS in the S&P Global dataset for Q2 2025*.

Key Takeaways for Investors

• Broad-based strength with revenue +267% YoY and second consecutive positive gross margin indicate a step-change in scale; sequential net loss improved from Q1 ($2.50M) to Q2 ($2.01M) as revenues scaled .
• Mix-shift toward subscriptions and remote guarding, alongside the Alpha™ trailer entry into construction, supports recurring revenue growth and TAM expansion .
• Cost initiatives (hosting/data) are visible in lower bandwidth costs; watch for sustained gross margin expansion as mix normalizes and installation-intensive periods moderate .
• Operating expense growth (G&A, S&M, R&D) is supporting scale but remains a profitability headwind; focus on sales efficiency and opex discipline through H2 .
• Financing arrangements (preferred, equity line) improve liquidity and runway into at least Q2 2026 but increase dilution risk; monitor capital markets access and conditions in preferred instruments -.
• Limited analyst coverage (single estimate) means beats/misses may have outsized price reactions; expanding coverage could stabilize expectations (Consensus values retrieved from S&P Global)*.
• Near-term positioning: trade the revenue/EPS beat and recurring model narrative; medium-term thesis depends on sustaining segment growth, improving gross margin, and balancing opex growth with sales productivity.
