Actionable Insight

The continued revenue erosion and EPS miss reinforce a negative trajectory. Watch Q3 for completion of program transitions — if revenue stabilizes, the stock could find a floor; further declines would deepen losses. Debt reduction and FCF are supportive but secondary to top-line stabilization.

  • GAAP diluted EPS $(0.17) vs $(0.16) consensus (miss)

  • Adjusted EBITDA $5.3M (9.0% margin) vs $9.4M (10.5%) last year

  • Free cash flow $3.8M in Q2
