QT Imaging Reports First Quarter 2026 Revenue of $6.5 Million

Revenue of $6.5 Million, Up 133% Year-Over-Year with 13 Scanners Shipped
Two Year Extension of the Maturity Date of the Senior Secured Term Loan to March 31, 2029
Secured a Category III CPT Code Specific to QT Imaging, Paving the Way to U.S. Reimbursement
Conference Call Begins Today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time

NOVATO, Calif. – May 13, 2026 – QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: QTI) (“QT Imaging” or the “Company”), a medical device company dedicated to transforming breast health management through innovative, radiation-free imaging technology, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and provided a business update.
“We continued to execute during the first quarter, making meaningful progress across commercialization, regulatory execution, and clinical validation,” said Dr. Raluca Dinu, Chief Executive Officer of QT Imaging. “During the quarter, we shipped 13 QT Breast Acoustic CT systems, in line with our commercial distribution commitments, secured a dedicated Category III CPT code for our technology that becomes effective as of January 2027, and received FDA 510(k) clearance for enhancements that improve visualization of posterior breast tissue.
“Recently, the maturity date of our senior secured term loan with our lender was extended by two years from March 31, 2027 to March 31, 2029. This extension provides the Company with additional financial flexibility as we continue executing on our commercial, clinical, and strategic growth initiatives.
“Importantly, we also expanded internationally with regulatory clearance in the United Arab Emirates, supporting a previously established multiyear commercial agreement in the region. At the same time, we advanced our technology platform through the launch of the QT Imaging-Olea Viewer and released a meaningful software improvement focused on reflection image quality, workflow, and quantitative analysis.
“Our clinical strategy continues to gain momentum through investigator studies at leading institutions that demonstrate strong concordance between QTscan and MRI. We believe QTscan is uniquely positioned as a radiation-free, compression-free, true 3D breast-imaging platform capable of providing quantitative information meant to improve clinical decision making, particularly for women with dense breasts. We remain focused on disciplined execution as we expand adoption of the platform globally,” she added.
First Quarter and Recent Business Highlights
Shipped 13 Breast Acoustic CT scanners in the first quarter of 2026 through our Amended NXC Distribution Agreement.
Generated additional clinical evidence supporting agreement of the QTscan with MRI through investigator studies. A prospective pilot study at the Mayo Clinic evaluated QTscan as a supplemental screening tool in high-risk women and demonstrated absolute agreement between QT Imaging and MRI, suggesting comparable effectiveness of QT Imaging and MRI in identifying positive findings.
Secured American Medical Association (AMA) approval of a new Category III CPT code, X579T, for 3D quantitative transmission volumetric ultrasound tomography of the breast. This code recognizes the distinct



clinical service enabled by QTI's Breast Acoustic CT system’s radiation-free, compression-free, 3D breast-imaging platform, and becomes effective January 1, 2027.
Received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for an updated configuration of QTI's Breast Acoustic CT scanner, which is designed to enhance visualization and expand imaging coverage of the posterior breast tissue, a region that is challenging to capture.
Received official classification and clearance from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Emirates Drug Establishment for use of QTI’s Breast Acoustic CT scanners and the QT Imaging’s Cloud SaaS Platform subscription. QT Imaging has an exclusive distribution agreement for the UAE with Al Naghi Medical Co., a leading regional distributor of medical devices in the Gulf region. The agreement provides for committed minimum order quantities (MOQs) of seven scanners in 2026, increasing to 16 scanners in 2027 and 20 scanners in 2028, for a total minimum of 43 scanners representing revenue of more than $24 million.
Launched the QT Imaging-Olea Viewer, which provides a unified platform for viewing multiple breast imaging modalities, enabling clinicians to efficiently correlate findings across multi-imaging sources and monitor patients longitudinally to streamline workflow. The viewer is designed to enhance clinical efficiency and support more informed patient management.
Released software update version 4.5.0, a next-generation image reconstruction that improves spatial resolution in reflection imaging, resulting in more accurate image representation while maintaining efficient processing time.
Uplisted to The Nasdaq Capital Market after having met all listing requirements, including financial, corporate governance, and regulatory criteria.
Named renowned breast cancer researcher Dr. Mary W. Yamashita as Medical Advisor to provide strategic advisory and development support across several key areas, including optimizing clinical integration and user experience, and ensuring the Company’s technologies meets and exceeds the expectations of clinicians and patients.
Welcomed Dr. Barry Roseman, a breast surgical oncologist with more than 25 years of experience treating breast cancer and breast disease, as Senior Medical Advisor. Dr. Roseman’s engagement includes clinical implementation of the QT Imaging technology in his diagnostic and screening center to support physician training, workflow integration, patient access, and ongoing collection of real-world clinical, operational, financial, patient, and provider experiences.
Subsequent to the close of the quarter, the Company amended the Lynrock Lake Credit Agreement, extending the maturity date of the senior secured term loan by two years to March 31, 2029, and increasing the interest rate to 12.0% per annum from 10.0% previously.
First Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $6.5 million, an increase of 133% from $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the shipment of 13 Breast Acoustic CT scanners in the 2026 quarter compared with six scanners in the prior-year period.
Gross margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 41% compared with 65% for the first quarter of 2025. The higher gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to the sale of two majorly depreciated scanners, hence with a lower cost basis.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $5.0 million compared with $2.9 million for the same period of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to employee compensation and professional and outside service costs.
Total interest and other expense, net for the first quarter of 2026 was $1.1 million compared with $10.1 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to $8.8 million in nonrecurring charges



recorded in the prior-year period, including noncash expense related to the issuance of the Lynrock Lake Term Loan and the extinguishment and modification charges associated with the Yorkville and Cable Car Notes. The decrease was partially offset by higher interest expense driven by accrued interest and debt discount amortization on the Lynrock Lake Term Loan.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 of $3.4 million, or $0.25 per share, compared with a net loss of $11.1 million, or $1.21 per share, for the first quarter of 2025.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA* for the first quarter of 2026 of $(1.9) million compared with $(0.9) million for the first quarter of 2025.
Net cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of 2026 was $3.7 million compared with $3.5 million during the first quarter of 2025.
Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents were $7.0 million as of March 31, 2026 compared with $10.5 million as of December 31, 2025.
2026 Revenue Guidance
The Company reaffirms guidance for 2026 revenue to be approximately $39 million, reflecting scanner shipments in the U.S. and world-wide, and initial revenue from the QT Imaging Cloud Platform. These expectations are in accordance with the MOQs per its Amended Distribution Agreement with its U.S. strategic business and distribution partner, NXC Imaging, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon Medical Systems USA, as well as its new distribution partners in the Gulf region, Gulf Medical and Al Naghi Medical.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP in our press release, we also report certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in such company’s financial statements. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered measures of QT Imaging's liquidity. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of certain items, as defined in our non-GAAP definitions below, which are



recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even where similarly titled, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes and therefore should not be used to compare QT Imaging’s performance to that of other companies. We endeavor to compensate for the limitation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measures and descriptions of the reconciling items and adjustments to derive the non-GAAP financial measures.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and analysts with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management to operate and analyze our business over different periods of time.
EBITDA is defined as loss before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for stock-based compensation, net change in fair value of the derivative, earnout and warrant liabilities, transaction expenses, warrant modification expense, loss on debt extinguishment, debt issuance expense and other income (expense), net. Similar excluded expenses may be incurred in future periods when calculating these measures. QT Imaging believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. QT Imaging believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends and in comparing QT Imaging’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.
Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP performance measure that is defined in the accompanying tables and is reconciled to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the tables below.
We present reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables below.
