Deploying AI-solutions to unlock key growth opportunities

JERICHO, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2026 / Intelligent Protection Management Corp. ("IPM," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:IPM), a managed technology solutions provider focused on enterprise cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Management Discussion

Jason Katz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IPM, said, "We are off to a good start in 2026 with solid top line growth, as total revenue increased by over 15%. The increase in revenue was fueled by a 19% increase in our core managed information technology services and a 78.4% increase in procurement revenue in the first quarter of 2026. Managed IT revenue for the quarter was driven by a mix of new customers and the expansion of services sold to existing customers. Procurement revenue can be uneven throughout the year as it is the result of our customers both replacing existing hardware as well as purchasing new hardware in connection with new projects, which projects are traditionally tied to customer budgets that are often higher early in the calendar year. We are gaining traction in our business development efforts as our team takes steps to become more efficient and effective in marketing our services in highly regulated businesses, particularly in the healthcare, legal, finance and banking markets, where we believe we have competitive advantages over our peers. Loss from operations decreased by over 42% compared to the prior year period. The year-over-year change from net income to net loss of 182% was primarily driven by the absence of the non-recurring tax benefit recognized in the prior year period. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is another useful measure in assessing our performance, which improved year over year by 65% due to stronger revenue and continued operational efficiencies.

"We remain focused on advancing the integration of our comprehensive portfolio of IT solutions for managed IT security services, secure private cloud hosting, managed backup and disaster recovery, professional services, web hosting and other managed services. Additionally, we are expanding functionality through strategic partnerships that we believe accelerate our customers' AI capabilities and strengthen our long-term growth profile.

"We are collaborating with third parties to integrate artificial intelligence and predictive analytics capabilities into our platform, enabling customers to leverage AI-driven insights within existing data environments. In addition, our partnership with MASORI Therapeutics is designed to support advanced AI in order to provide accelerated results that enhance automation and system integration capabilities, improving workflow efficiency and scalability. These partnerships are intended to strengthen our technology offerings, accelerate scalable growth, strengthen customer retention and enhance the long-term value we deliver across our platform for our client base. We are highly focused on being a trusted advisor delivering successful outcomes and creating value for our customers."

Mr. Katz concluded, "In addition to growing our business organically, we continue to explore strategic opportunities, including, but not limited to, potential mergers or acquisitions of other entities or assets that are synergistic to our businesses. We believe we are well positioned to integrate operations that are synergistic with our core operations that can be acquired at reasonable valuations to provide greater returns for our loyal stockholders. We look forward to building on our solid first quarter results throughout the rest of calendar 2026."

Financial Highlights: Q1 2026

Operational Results: Q1 2026

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, revenue totaled $6.4 million compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of 15.2%. This increase was attributed to an increase in our core managed IT services (discussed below) of 19% compared to the prior year period, as well as an increase in procurement revenue of 78.4% compared to the prior year period. Total revenue by revenue component for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, were as follows:

• Loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.8 million compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Loss from operations for three months ended March 31, 2026 included $0.5 million of non-cash expense, consisting primarily of amortization and depreciation compared to $0.9 million of non-cash expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

• Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled $0.7 million compared to net income of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net income in 2025 was attributed to recording an income tax benefit during the first quarter of 2025 of approximately $2.1 million in connection with our acquisition of Newtek Technology Solutions, Inc. and the divestiture of our former video chat applications in January 2025.

• Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026, totaled negative $0.2 million compared to negative $0.5 million at March 31, 2025.

• At March 31, 2026, we had $8.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, including $1.0 million of restricted cash on our balance sheet and no long-term debt.

• We had cash used by operations of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to cash provided by operations of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

• Deferred revenue was $4.7 million as of March 31, 2026, which will be recognized as revenue in future quarters as products and/or services are installed.

Recent Developments:

• Executed an extension of our existing Phoenix data center colocation license agreement with an industry-leading data center provider through August 2032.

• Successfully achieved SOC 2 Type 1 compliance, a key milestone in our ongoing commitment to safeguarding customer data and delivering trusted cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure solutions.

• During the first quarter of 2026, 50,000 shares of common stock were repurchased under our stock repurchase plan for an aggregate of $83,491. As of March 31, 2026, all shares of common stock available for repurchase under the plan had been repurchased.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has provided in this release Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest (income) expense, net, other (income) expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, net loss from discontinued operations, impairment loss in connection with the Divestiture and litigation expenses relating to the Cisco ManyCam Litigation (as defined below). Prior to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company did not exclude litigation expenses related to the Cisco ManyCam Litigation in calculating Adjusted EBTIDA as they were not material. However, after reevaluation, the Company has determined that presenting Adjusted EBITDA without excluding such costs provides less valuable information about the Company's core operations. As a result, beginning with the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, litigation expenses related to the Cisco ManyCam Litigation are now excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA internally in analyzing the Company's financial results to assess operational performance and to determine the Company's future capital requirements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to Adjusted EBITDA in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company's operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between the Company's performance and that of competitors. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect, among other things: cash capital expenditures for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures; interest income, net; other expense, net; the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; the provision for income taxes; litigation expenses incurred in connection with our patent defense against Cisco Systems, Inc. and Cisco Technology, Inc. (the "Cisco ManyCam Litigation"); and net loss from discontinued operations. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including total revenues, subscription revenue, deferred revenue, net income (loss), cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net cash used in operating activities and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
