Safety Standardization Mandatory Code and Insurance Exposure

SKYX's Safety Code Standardization Team is receiving support from a new significant prominent leader with its government safety agency’s process for a safety mandatory standardization of its electrical ceiling outlet/receptacle technology.
SKYX’s code team is led by industry veterans Mark Earley, former head of the National Electrical Code (NEC), and Eric Jacobson, former President and CEO of the American Lighting Association (ALA). The Company’s safety Code Standardization team believes it will garner assistance from additional safety organizations with its code mandatory safety standardization efforts based on the product’s significant safety aspects. Mr. Earley and Mr. Jacobson were instrumental in numerous code and safety changes in both the electrical and lighting industries. Both strongly believe that, considering the Company’s standardization progress including its product specification approval voting for by ANSI / NEMA (American National Standardization Institute / National Electrical Manufacturers Association) and being voted into 10 segments in the NEC Code Book, it has met the necessary safety conditions for becoming a ceiling safety standardization requirement for homes and buildings.
The Company strongly believes its products can save insurance companies many billions of dollars annually by minimizing risks (e.g., reducing fires, ladder fall injuries, and electrocutions). Management expects that insurance companies will use the Company’s range and variations of its safe advanced plug & play products to reduce its exposure and minimize its risks.

Management Commentary

Company’s Management, Board members, and Senior Advisors include former CEO’s and executives from Fortune 100 companies including Nielsen, Microsoft, Disney, GE, Home Depot, Office Depot, Chrysler, among others.

The Company is trending positively, generating record first quarter 2026 revenues of $22 million as compared to $20 million for the first quarter of 2025, a gross profit for the first quarter ending March 31, 2026, increasing comparatively by 16% to $7 million, compared to the first quarter ending March 31, 2025 and a gross margin for the first quarter ending March 31, 2026, increasing comparatively by 2% to 30%, compared to 28% in the first quarter ending March 31, 2025. We believe our positive trends will accelerate going into 2026 as we build out and execute on our channel strategy.

We are encouraged by the recently announced initiatives where we could supply hundreds of thousands of units in Europe, the Middle East including Saudi Arabia and Egypt, the $4 billion mixed-use smart city development in the Little River District in the heart of Miami, and projects in Pittsford, New York; North Carolina; Austin, Texas; and San Antonio, Texas. We continue to address the builder/commercial segments, large online and brick-and-mortar retail partners as well as our future potential to realize incremental licensing, subscription, and AI/data aggregation revenues.

Furthermore, our e-commerce website platform with 60 websites enhances the acceleration of marketing and distribution channels, collaborations, licensing, and sales to both professional and retail segments. Our websites include banners, videos, and educational materials regarding the simplicity, cost savings, time-saving, and life-saving aspects of the Company’s patented technologies.

We have accelerated our pace of sales and strategic initiatives with a robust gross margin profile, notably reducing the adjusted EBITDA loss of SKYX on a comparative quarterly basis. Our e-commerce platform with 60 websites is expected to continue to provide additional cash flow to the Company.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management considers earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted, an important indicator in evaluating the Company’s business on a consistent basis across various periods. Due to the significance of non-recurring items, EBITDA, as adjusted, enables management to monitor and evaluate the business on a consistent basis. The Company uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as a primary measure, among others, to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and potential acquisitions. The Company believes that EBITDA, as adjusted, eliminates items that are not part of the Company’s core operations, such as interest expense and amortization expense associated with intangible assets, or items that do not involve a cash outlay, such as share-based payments and non-recurring items, such as transaction costs. EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income (loss), net income (loss) and cash flows used in operating activities. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. Investors should review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
