Founded in 1986 (though some sources suggest 1984, and OmniMetrix was established in 1998), Acorn focuses on developing and marketing wireless remote monitoring and control (M&C) systems for diverse sectors. The company's operations are divided into two main segments: Power Generation (PG) Monitoring and Cathodic Protection (CP) Monitoring. The PG segment provides comprehensive wireless solutions for overseeing and managing vital industrial equipment such as standby power generators, compressors, pumps, pumpjacks, light towers, turbines, and other critical assets, as well as supporting Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The CP segment offers remote surveillance of cathodic protection systems installed on gas pipelines, primarily serving gas utilities and pipeline companies. Acorn's technology enables real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and control, helping clients reduce downtime, maintenance costs, and operational risks. The company has a strong gross profit margin of approximately 80% and has shown positive net income in recent periods. With only 27 full-time employees, it operates a lean business model. Key financials include a market cap of around $45 million, revenue per share of $3.82, and a price-to-earnings ratio of about 29. Under the leadership of CEO Jan H. Loeb, who has over 40 years of money management and investment banking experience, Acorn has positioned itself as a technology and service leader in remote monitoring for backup generators and other critical assets. The company emphasizes innovation and customer-centric solutions, aiming to expand its market presence and capitalize on the growing demand for IoT-based monitoring systems.ExpandCollapse

Financial Statements of ACFN

5Y Trend (Revenue, Earnings, FCF)

Metric	Latest	YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength.	QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes.
RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three).	$11.5M	+4.5%	+11.8%
Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day.	$2.5M	-60.1%	+481.8%
Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials.	+76.8%	+5.5%	+2.8%
Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on).	+17.3%	-1.7%	+360.1%
Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales.	+21.9%	-61.8%	+441.6%
Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock.	$2.1M	+142.3%	+354.0%
FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine.	+17.9%	+131.9%	+306.2%
Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe.	12.6%	+614.0%	-8.5%
Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking.	1.83x	+45.3%	+11.9%
Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground.	$13.3M	+25.8%	+2.0%

Q1 2026

Unknown Speaker

Operator: Good morning, and welcome to Acorn Energy's First Quarter 2026 Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, today's call is being recorded. I'll now turn the call over to Tracy Clifford, CFO of Acorn Energy and COO of its OmniMetrix subsidiary. Tracy Clifford: Thank you, Regina, and thank you all for joining us today. First, I'd like to remind everyone that today's remarks, including responses to questions, contain forward-looking statements. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Factors that may impact our future operating results and financial performance include general risks such as potential disruptions to business operations or changes in consumer or customer demand, as well as specific risks related to our ability to execute our operating plan, maintain strong customer renewal rates and expand our customer base. Additional risks may arise from changes in technology, competition or shifts in the macroeconomic or financial environment. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on management's current beliefs, assumptions and information that is available as of today. There can be no assurances that the company will meet its growth targets or other strategic goals and objectives. The company undertakes no obligation to update or revise such forward-looking statements to reflect future events or specific circumstances that may occur after today. For a more detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, please refer to the Risk Factors section of our most recent Form 10-K and our Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2026, which are available online at www.sec.gov or on our own website. Now I'll turn the call over to Jan Loeb, CEO of Acorn and OmniMetrix. Jan? Jan Loeb: Thank you, Tracy, and to everyone for your interest in our company. Our Q1 2026 results reflect continued expansion of our base of monitoring endpoints, offset by an anticipated decrease in year-over-year hardware revenue related to our material cell phone provider contract. We recognized $93,000 of hardware revenue from this customer in Q1 2026 related to our original contract and now hardware shipments for our initial contract are largely complete. This compares to $876,000 of hardware revenue from this customer in Q1 2025. Our Q1 2026 results also reflected $167,000 of monitoring revenue from this customer compared to $69,000 in Q1 2025 related to first year monitoring revenues on the original contract. Based on our ongoing dialogue with this customer, we are optimistic about securing further hardware deployments and related revenue that will build on our initial contract starting in Q2 2026. It has always been our goal to build on this customer opportunity, so this initial follow-on activity is a good indication of the …
