Executive Commentary

Dr. Halden Shane, CEO of TOMI Environmental Solutions commented, “The second quarter of 2026 was a defining operational and commercial period for TOMI, delivering our third consecutive quarter of accelerating growth, with year-over-year revenue growth of 118% to $2,247,000. Gross profit roughly doubled, and with strict cost control, the Company continues to work toward operating at breakeven on a cash basis.  We are very proud of these achievements.  We believe this performance reflects strong execution across our razor-and-blade commercial model, driven by surge demand for capital equipment, Custom Engineered Systems, and rapid adoption of our SteraMist applicators.”

“From a strategic and technical perspective, we also made excellent progress.  We made critical advances across our technical, regulatory, and commercial pipelines. In the second quarter, we delivered custom SteraMist iHP chambers to a Fortune 500 medical device manufacturer—advancing our formal FDA 510(k) clearance process—while expanding our commercial sales pipeline to approximately $35 million ($8.6 million in advanced stages) and growing our backlog to $2.6 million post-quarter.”

“On the regulatory front, our biocidal product registrations now span 11 European countries, and the EPA recently granted a new unconditional registration for AgriMist (-4 label), authorizing direct SteraMist application through the day of harvest across food safety, cannabis, and agriculture.  We are excited for the future of TOMI and look forward to providing additional updates in the near term.”
