Energy Focus Q2 sales rise 228% to $3.7 million; net loss widens to $0.9 million
Energy Focus reported second-quarter 2026 net sales of $3.7 million, up 228% from $1.1 million a year earlier, driven mainly by initial shipments to a new Australian customer and higher military maritime product sales. Gross margin turned negative at (6.8)%, and the net loss widened to $0.9 million, or $(0.14) per share, from $0.2 million, or $(0.04) per share, a year earlier. The release also cites the need for additional financing and substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
