Coda Octopus Group Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
ORLANDO, FL, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (“CODA” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CODA) a global market leader in real-time 4D/5D/6D imaging sonar technology for real-time subsea intelligence and cutting-edge diving augmented reality technology (DAVD), today reported its unaudited financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended April 30, 2026 (SQ2026).
Annmarie Gayle, CODA’s Chairman and CEO, commented: “I am pleased with our overall operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, during which we delivered increases in both net income and earnings per share compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Our financial performance improved year over year despite a decline in revenue within our core Marine Technology Business, which continues to be affected by the ongoing conflict involving Iran and the resulting instability across key markets in the Middle East and Asia. As a result, many offshore projects in the region remain on hold. Importantly, all other business units delivered revenue growth, including our Defense Engineering Services Business, which increased revenue by 37.9%.
The numbers shown below have been rounded to one decimal point, unless two decimal points are required for clarity. The full SQ2026 financials can be found in CODA’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on June 15, 2026.
- Total revenue was approximately $6.9 million compared to $7.0 million in SQ2025, representing a decrease of 1.6%.
- Revenue from our core business (Marine Technology Business) was $2.8 million compared to $3.9 million in SQ2025, representing a 26.8% decrease.
- Revenue from our Defense Engineering Services Business was $2.5 million compared to $1.8 million in SQ2025, representing an increase of 37.9%.
- Revenue from the Acoustics Sensors and Material Business was $1.5 million compared to $1.3 million in SQ2025, representing an increase of 17.5%.
- Gross profit was $4.6 million compared to $4.5 million in SQ2025. Gross margin was 66.3% compared to 64.1% in SQ2026, reflecting the mix of type and geography of sales reported in the Period.
- Operating income was $1.8 million in SQ2026 compared to $1.1 million in SQ2025, representing an increase of 64.8%.
- Operating margin was 26.0% compared to 15.5% in SQ2025, reflecting the increase in our gross profit and 21.4% decrease in selling, general & administrative expenses.
- Pre-tax income was approximately $2.1 million in SQ2026 compared to $1.3 million in SQ2025, representing an increase of 68.6%.
- Net income after taxes was $1.7 million in SQ2026 compared to $0.9 million in SQ2025, an increase of 86.8%.
- Diluted earnings per share in SQ2026 was $0.15 compared to $0.08 in SQ2025.
- Pre-tax income as a percentage of revenues for SQ2026 was approximately 30.9% compared to 18.0% in SQ2025. Research and Development expenditures for SQ2026 were approximately $0.6 million compared to approximately $0.7 million in SQ2025, representing a decrease of 6.0%. SG&A in SQ2026 was approximately $2.1 million compared to $2.7 million in SQ2025, representing a decrease of 21.4%.
Our cash balance at the end of SQ2026 of $30.6 million represents an increase of $1.9 million over October 31, 2025, when this figure was $28.7 million.
Annmarie Gayle, CODA’s Chairman and CEO, commented: “Despite the ongoing conflict involving Iran and the resulting instability across the Middle East, which has adversely affected customer activity in this strategically important region as well as in Asia, I am pleased with our second quarter fiscal 2026 financial performance and the diversification reflected in our revenue structure. Our core Marine Technology Business sells products and solutions globally, with a significant portion of opportunities originating from the Middle East and Asia. During the quarter, we experienced reduced demand from customers in these regions due to the ongoing geopolitical situation.
Even against this backdrop, we made meaningful progress across our key growth pillars. A major milestone for broader DAVD adoption in the military diving sector was the completion of the Approved Navy Use assessment. I am pleased to confirm that the DAVD untethered system has now been formally approved by the U.S. Navy. We view this as a significant inflection point: the system is now available for acquisition by any command, and the previously delivered 20 untethered DAVD units can now be deployed in ongoing operations. This approval validates the system’s operational suitability and opens the door to wider adoption across the global naval diving community. Because the assessment was completed in June, we expect procurement activity to be weighted toward the second half of fiscal 2026.
With the R&D phase for the DAVD now complete and the untethered system approved for fleet deployment in the United States, our focus has shifted to business development aimed at accelerating global adoption, with particular emphasis on the European naval sector. In support of this strategy, we recently provided training to a European Navy that acquired an initial number of systems. With training now complete, we continue to engage closely with this influential customer and are encouraged by the positive feedback received to date. We remain optimistic about expanding DAVD deployment and operational use within this trend‑setting naval community, establishing a strong foundation for future international growth.
We are also very encouraged by the early market response to our newly released Echoscope PIPE NANO GEN SERIES®. During the quarter, we received an initial order for a small number of NANO Gen Series sonars for integration into an established vehicle program. These systems provide a significant upgrade to the platform, delivering full‑perception visualization, vehicle control, and 3D obstacle avoidance, and are scheduled to undergo extensive evaluation. If successful, we believe this opportunity could scale rapidly.
Echoscope products currently account for approximately 80% of Marine Technology Business revenue. With the launch of the NANO GEN Series and strong customer engagement, we believe we are well positioned to make further forays into the expanding defense and underwater robotics markets. The NANO GEN Series enables small platforms to enhance situational awareness and consolidate multiple sensors into a single, power‑efficient unit, providing real‑time 3D spatial awareness and forward‑looking obstacle avoidance. Beyond subsea vehicles, the NANO GEN Series is also well suited for diver‑wearable systems, diving platforms—highly synergistic with our DAVD solutions—and a wide range of underwater robotics applications.
The worldwide Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) market, valued at $4.8 billion in 2024, is projected to grow to $11.1 billion by 2030, driven by increasingly complex maritime threats and the demand for cost‑effective, low‑risk technologies. As a result, ROVs, UUVs, and underwater drones are becoming critical components of modern defense strategies worldwide.”
