HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AmpliTech Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMPG, AMPGZ), a designer, developer, and manufacturer of advanced radio frequency $(RF)$ microwave components, 5G communication systems, semiconductor solutions and quantum computing LNAs, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights
Company's Q2 Earnings presentation at https://www.amplitechgroup.com/investor-relations/
-- Revenue was $8.07 million, an increase of approximately 50.9%
sequentially from $5.35 million in the first quarter of 2026.

-- Sales in the amplifier and related passive microwave components and
subsystems business increased 42.7% year-over-year.
-- Research and development expense was $1.37 million, compared with $0.66
million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting continued investment in 5G
product development, prototype and testing activity, consulting support
and MMIC design. Q2 R&D included approximately $1.08 million of 5G
expenses and $0.30 million of MMIC design expenses.
-- Net loss was $(3.09) million, compared with $(1.77) million in the
prior-year quarter, reflecting higher research and development investment
as well as increased selling, general and administrative expenses,
including amortization, legal fees, stock-based compensation, marketing

-- Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately
$12.95 million as of June 30, 2026.
-- Accounts receivable at $6.25 million
Operational and Strategic Progress
The second quarter demonstrated continued monetization across AmpliTech's operating platform. The Company continues to develop and commercialize technologies serving four principal end markets:
-- 5G / telecommunications infrastructure, including O-RAN radio systems and
next-generation wireless infrastructure solutions
-- SATCOM and space applications utilizing advanced RF and microwave
technologies
-- Defense and aerospace communications applications
-- Semiconductor and quantum computing applications, including Spectrum
Semiconductor Materials, MMIC technologies and cryogenic low-noise
amplifier solutions
Management views the Company's current stage as one of scaling commercialization and monetization rather than beginning it. The sequential revenue growth achieved in Q2, new ORAN 5G product sales, the expansion of Spectrum's distribution business and continued sales growth in amplifier and passive microwave products demonstrate revenue contribution from multiple parts of the platform. At the same time, the Company continued to invest ahead of anticipated larger opportunities, particularly in 5G and MMIC development.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2026, AmpliTech reported:
-- Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $12.95
million
-- Total current assets of approximately $31.25 million
-- Working capital of approximately $22.93 million (working capital figure
does not include rights offering proceedings which came in July 2026).
-- Total assets of approximately $58.51 million
-- Total stockholders' equity of approximately $46.75 million
Based on its existing cash and cash equivalents, working capital, current and forecasted level of operations and forecasted cash flows, the Company believes it will be able to meet obligations arising from normal business operations and provide for capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Subsequent Corporate Developments
-- On July 7, 2026, the Company terminated its equity distribution agreement
with Maxim Group LLC.

program of up to $10 million of the Company's outstanding common stock
over the following 24 months, subject to market conditions, applicable
law and other considerations.
-- On July 22, 2026, following the July 18 expiration of the Series A Rights,
the Company closed the Series A Rights exercise process and received
approximately $21.92 million in gross proceeds and approximately $20.12
million in net proceeds after fees and expenses.
-- Received more than $6 million in follow-on orders during July 2026 alone,
including nearly $4 million in additional orders under its previously
announced Letter of Intent ("LOI") with a North American mobile network
operator.
Outlook
AmpliTech remains focused on scaling revenue, improving operating leverage and converting its technology and customer programs into increasing commercial production. Management believes the Company's diversified exposure across 5G/telecommunications, SATCOM and space, defense and aerospace, and semiconductor and quantum computing markets provides multiple potential growth drivers while leveraging common RF, microwave and semiconductor capabilities across the organization.
The Company remains focused on:
-- Scaling commercialization and recurring production revenue
-- Advancing 5G O-RAN radio and MMIC programs
-- Growing Spectrum's semiconductor distribution business
-- Improving operational efficiency and margin performance as product and
shipment mix evolves
-- Maintaining disciplined investment in engineering, testing, manufacturing
capacity and business development
-- Supporting long-term sustainable growth and shareholder value creation
"The second quarter showed strong sequential revenue momentum, with revenue increasing approximately 51% from Q1 to $8.07 million and gross profit increasing more than 160% year-over-year," said Fawad Maqbool, Chief Executive Officer of AmpliTech Group. These results reinforce that monetization is already underway across our platform; our focus now is to scale that monetization as additional programs progress through commercialization and toward larger-volume opportunities."
Mr. Maqbool continued, "Gross margin was 27.9% in Q2, below the 48.0% achieved in Q1 but materially above the 7.8% reported in Q2 2025. Quarter-to-quarter margin performance can vary based on product and shipment mix, and we remain focused on improving operating leverage as our business scales. During Q2, we increased investment in R&D, particularly in 5G and MMIC development, and expanded marketing and business development activities. These investments affected the near-term bottom line, but they are intended to support broader commercialization and future operating scale."
Mr. Maqbool concluded, "AmpliTech is positioned across four principal growth markets, 5G and telecommunications, SATCOM and space, defense and aerospace, and semiconductor and quantum computing, while leveraging common RF, microwave and semiconductor capabilities across the organization, the combined TAM's on these segments in the billions of dollars. We believe this diversification, together with our strengthened capital position following the Series A Rights closing, provides a strong foundation for disciplined execution and long-term shareholder value creation."
