Interlink Electronics Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

Interlink reports a strong quarter, with increased revenues and a return to profitability

FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Interlink Electronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LINK) (“Interlink” or the “Company”), a global leader in sensor technology and printed electronic solutions, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Q2 2026 and Recent Highlights

Revenues increased 10% for the second quarter of 2026 and 13% for the first half of 2026 over the comparable 2025 periods, driven by higher shipments of our force-sensing and printed electronics products. Gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA increased as a result of higher revenues.

We currently expect the strategic acquisition announced in May 2026 to be completed by the end of October 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. The planned acquisition is expected to significantly expand our operations and increase our revenues and earnings. We are exploring various debt financing options to support our acquisition strategy and our working capital needs.

We have expanded our gas sensing solutions with new miniaturized, factory-calibrated digital output (I2C) gas sensor modules, offering easy integration for over 15 gases. In the coming weeks, we plan to launch high-performance electrochemical sensors in an industry-standard 4-series package for common gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and ozone. We are also introducing two advanced digital sensor instruments for single and dual gas detection, supporting both pumped and diffusion-based detection.

We will showcase our latest sensing technologies at several major events, including the WT Conference USA (September 15-16, Mountain View, CA), where we will present 'Functional Electronics Without Wires: The Evolution of Conductive Transfer Technology' on September 15 at 3:55 p.m. We will also exhibit at Electronica (November 10-13, Munich, Germany), a leading global technology conference.

We will also attend the following investor conferences: LD Micro Main Event (October 19-21, Los Angeles, CA) and Benchmark One-on-One Conference (December 10, New York, NY). At each event, we will highlight our expanding product portfolio, key commercial milestones, and the strategic initiatives driving our growth.

“We continue to make progress toward achieving our organic and acquisition growth objectives,” said Steven N. Bronson, Chairman, President, and CEO. “We expect the pending acquisition will be a transformative event for the Company on its path toward continued growth.”

Consolidated Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 increased 10% to $3.77 million, compared to $3.41 million in the second quarter of 2025, and for the first half of 2026 increased 13% to $6.84 million, compared to $6.08 million in the first half of 2025. The increases were driven by higher shipments of the Company’s force-sensing and printed electronics products, partially offset by lower sales of its gas-sensor products. Revenues fluctuate periodically in response to changes in customer demand, which can vary with order flow and production cycles, affecting both the timing and volume of shipments.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 44.4%, a slight decrease from 45.0% for the second quarter of 2025. Gross margin for the first half of 2026 was 44.0%, compared with 40.9% for the first half of 2025. The increase in gross margin for the first half of 2026 was due to higher revenue and changes in the mix of our products and services.

Net income/loss for the second quarter of 2026 was income of $248,000, compared to income of $100,000 in same quarter last year, and for the first half of 2026 was a loss of $90,000, compared to a loss of $705,000 in the first half of 2025. The improvements in net income/loss were driven primarily by higher revenue and gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the second quarter of 2026 was $421,000, versus $323,000 in the same quarter last year, and for the first half of 2026 was $255,000, versus $(300,000) in the first half of 2025.
