(Nasdaq: AMPG, AMPGR, AMPGZ), a designer and manufacturer of advanced RF microwave components and 5G communication systems, reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, highlighting a 48.6% year-over-year revenue increase to $5.35 million and a gross margin expansion to 48.0% from 33.0% in the prior-year period.
The company's gross profit more than doubled, rising 116.1% to $2.57 million compared to $1.19 million in Q1 2025. Manufacturing and engineering segment revenue jumped to $3.28 million from $0.99 million in the same quarter last year. Net loss improved 17.3% to $(1.52) million.

Working capital improved to $25.4 million, and the current ratio strengthened to 4.25 from 1.68.
During the quarter, the company advanced multiple 5G and MMIC development programs into commercialization stages, and completed a rights offering and a registered direct offering, generating net proceeds exceeding $16 million to support growth initiatives. Research and development expenses declined year-over-year as several products transitioned from development to deployment.
CEO Fawad Maqbool stated, "The first quarter of 2026 reflects meaningful progress across several areas of our business. We achieved substantial revenue growth YoY, expanded gross margins significantly, strengthened our balance sheet, and continued transitioning key technologies from development into commercial deployment." He added that the company believes its full-year revenue guidance remains achievable, though revenue recognition is expected to be more heavily weighted toward the second half of the year based on current customer delivery schedules.
