Revenue increased 23% compared to prior year
Updated full year 2026 outlook reflects 21% to 25% year-over-year growth
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 11, 2026--
908 Devices Inc. (Nasdaq: MASS), a core small-cap growth company focused on purpose-built handheld chemical analysis tools for vital health, safety, and defense tech applications, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
"We delivered another strong quarter, growing revenue 23% year-over-year, while narrowing our Adjusted EBITDA loss by more than half compared to a year ago," said Kevin J. Knopp, CEO and Co-founder. "Our momentum with U.S. state and local customers remained particularly strong, representing more than half of our revenue, as agencies modernize to address today's threats and hazards. Our newest FTIR product, VipIR, is leading that charge, and we surpassed our 100th unit shipped since launch. With the same commercial channel behind that momentum, we are now introducing NIRLab to the U.S. market. In just our first 60 days since deal close, we have engaged hundreds of prospects nationwide across more than 30 agencies. With a robust pipeline of opportunities, we are confident in our team's ability to deliver, and we remain committed to the disciplined execution of our strategy."

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue was $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, a 23% increase over the prior year period, driven by an increase in product revenue for VipIR and the addition of NIRLab revenue. The installed base grew 23% year-over-year to 4,101 devices, with 198 devices placed during the second quarter. Recurring revenue represented 31% of total revenues in the quarter.
Gross profit was $8.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $6.4 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. GAAP gross margin was 52% as compared to 49% for the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $7.3 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. Adjusted gross margin was 57%, as compared to 56% for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in adjusted gross margin percentage was primarily driven by higher product revenues, including a shift in channel mix.
Operating expenses were $21.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $21.5 million for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease of $0.3 million includes a noncash decrease of $0.3 million related to a change in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability.
Net loss from continuing operations was $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $12.9 million for the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to a loss of $3.9 million for the corresponding period in the prior year.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $13.3 million for the corresponding prior year period.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $101.5 million as of June 30, 2026, with no debt outstanding. In the second quarter of 2026, $13.5 million of cash and cash equivalents were used for the acquisition of NIRLAB SA and $3.5 million was received from the release of the escrow from the desktop divestiture.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement the Company's financial statements, which are presented on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance are included in this release and presented with detailed reconciliations to comparable GAAP financial results in the tables below:
-- Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding intangible
amortization, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring charges
(including the costs of severance), and non-cash expenses related to
stock-based compensation.
-- Adjusted gross margin is defined as adjusted gross profit expressed as
a percentage of total revenue.
-- Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) from continuing
operations excluding other income, benefit for income taxes, depreciation,
intangible amortization, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring
charges (including the costs of severance), non-cash expenses related to
stock-based compensation, and costs associated with contingent
consideration related to the Company's acquisitions and for which the
conditions for payment have not yet been achieved.
The Company's non-GAAP financial results presented in this earnings release exclude certain costs that management believes do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, nor do the resulting charges recorded accurately reflect the performance of ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recorded, nor do the resulting charges recorded accurately reflect the anticipated cash flows of ongoing operations, and as such, excluding these costs allows management to understand and evaluate core operating performance and trends. However, as there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures, the Company's methods may differ from those used by other companies in its industry, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by others, thus limiting their usefulness for purposes of comparison. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures have certain limitations since they do not include the impact of certain expenses and cash flows that are reflected in the Company's GAAP financial results. Accordingly, when analyzing the Company's operating performance and guidance, investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of reported GAAP financial results, provide investors with additional meaningful information to assess financial performance and trends, enable comparison of financial results between periods, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics utilized internally in analyzing and operating the Company's business.
