Liquidity and Reduction of Corporate Expenses
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $7.2 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $9.1 million of remaining availability on the borrowing base under its credit facility at Drone Nerds.
During the second quarter the Company took significant action to reduce its corporate and ADS headcount and related compensation, to consolidate its office footprint, and to terminate non-core consulting, vendor and software contracts. On a preliminary basis, average monthly operating cash outflows of the Company's ADS and corporate operations (excluding Drone Nerds) during the third quarter were approximately $1.1 million per month, down approximately 42% from the second quarter, and 62% from the first quarter.
As of September 30, 2026 on a preliminary basis the Company had $5.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. The Company continues to reduce its monthly cash burn, resulting in an expected transition to positive net cash provided by operating activities during the fourth quarter of 2026.
Unaudited Supplemental Combined Financial Information
For purposes of this release, references to "supplemental combined" financial information refer to the unaudited supplemental combined financial information described below.
The Company has provided unaudited supplemental financial information of the combined company in this press release. The following financial information combines XTI and Drone Nerds historical operating results as if the businesses had been operated together on a combined basis during prior periods. This financial information is intended to illustrate the current operating footprint of the Company following the acquisition of Drone Nerds and divestiture of the Company's Industrial IoT / Real-Time Location Systems business.
The unaudited supplemental combined financial information is not "pro forma" financial information as that term is used in Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited supplemental combined financial information was not prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and differs from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on February 9, 2026 (the "Pro Forma 8-K Filing"), which was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and presented the year ended December 31, 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which includes the 2025 periods shown in this press release, but did not present those periods separately. The unaudited supplemental combined financial information was not prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and is presented for illustrative purposes to assist investors in understanding the operational performance of the combined business, timing and operational impact of the acquisition, and integration of the combined business, and should not be considered a substitute for the pro forma financial information included in the Company's prior filings prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
Consequently, the unaudited supplemental combined financial information is intentionally different from, but does not supersede, the pro forma financial information set forth in the Pro Forma 8-K Filing or the pro forma financial information set forth in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.
In addition, the unaudited supplemental combined financial information does not purport to indicate the results that actually would have been obtained had the companies been operated together during the periods presented, or which may be realized in the future. The unaudited supplemental combined financial information has no impact on XTI's or Drone Nerds' previously reported consolidated balance sheets or statements of operations, cash flows or equity.
