Revenue missed the $103.8M consensus by 2.8%, while the adjusted EPS loss of $0.17 was a 58.6% beat vs the $-0.43 consensus estimate.

Actionable Insight

The widening operating loss and negative adjusted EBITDA signal deteriorating profitability despite the EPS beat vs low consensus. Monitor the Q2 2026 pre-orders and North America recovery trajectory; the international growth is a positive offset but insufficient to reverse the bearish trend. The maintained $0.25 dividend provides a modest floor but does not offset fundamental weakness.
