Reports Q1 revenue $16.35M vs. $9.73M last year. "The first quarter played out largely as expected, with top line growth year-over-year but, as previously discussed, revenue was negatively impacted by several winter storms and other seasonal factors across much of our operating footprint," said Rick Mills, CEO. "We expect the remainder of fiscal 2026 to show stronger sales based on our current book of business, a strong pipeline of new opportunities and growth from the acquisition of CDM. With the integration of this transaction substantially complete, we are investing in our people and business development initiatives with the goals of accelerating the Company's revenue trajectory and improving profit margins through both synergy realization and cost leverage. We're excited by the growth we see on the horizon, and the second quarter is already off to a great start in terms of new installations and customer engagement. Overall, we continue to be positioned for our best year ever and look forward to achieving a higher level of success in the quarters to come."

Reports Q4 revenue $23.92M, consensus $23.03M. "After closing out fiscal 2025, a period of significant transformation and accomplishment, CRI is positioned for even stronger days ahead - bolstered by the acquisition of CDM just a few months ago," said Rick Mills, CEO. "We expect fiscal 2026 to be our best year ever and anticipate higher top line growth and expanded margins as we leverage the entire organization to achieve improved financial results. With the integration of CDM on track, we are well on our way to driving even greater economies of scale by providing unique value-added services to a broader customer portfolio across North America. In addition, we have already achieved $6.4 million of annualized enterprise-wide cost synergies and remain on schedule to realize $10 million by the end of the year. This is driven by operating efficiencies, margin enhancement strategies, and the application of CRI's CMS and AdTech platforms. We're extremely excited by the new opportunities now on our doorstep, which we expect to lead to growth acceleration as the year progresses. With the addition of some very accomplished staff - including Chief Financial Officer Tamra Koshewa, Chief Experience Officer Jackie Walker, and Chief Revenue Officer Dan McAllister - to help lead the Company, we're in excellent position to execute our vision of becoming the leader in digital media and, in the process, post higher returns for our shareholders in the quarters to come."
