By Public Technologies
  • Quarterhill management commentary reported a third-quarter 2026 net loss of USD 16.46 million, widening from USD 4.73 million a year earlier.
  • Operating expenses rose to USD 23.62 million, primarily reflecting acquisition-related charges, higher stock-based compensation and other increased costs, management said.
  • Gross margin increased to 28.6% from 26.3%, attributed to restructuring, improved tolling contract margins and strong safety and enforcement performance.
  • Revenue reached USD 43.16 million on overall business growth; adjusted EBITDA increased to USD 3.9 million, reflecting revenue, margin and expense changes.
  • Management attributed debt covenant noncompliance primarily to proposed Conduent acquisition charges; the lender subsequently waived the breach on November 6, 2026.
