Revenue Execution Phase Begins as U.S. Foodservice Adoption Advances

• Key Takeaways:

  • Revenue increased to $1.26 million (+24% y/y), maintaining a ~$5.0 million run-rate ahead of expected 2H26 U.S. rollout acceleration.

  • Gross margin expanded 240 bps y/y to 53.1%, reinforcing product-level economics despite higher commercialization spend.

  • Strategy now prioritizes direct strategic accounts and targeted distribution, improving control over rollout execution, customer adoption, and recurring revenue visibility.

  • New U.S. fast-food chain sales add another strategic validation point following pilots, with initial rollout across three states.

  • Valuation reflects revenue-scaling potential rather than current revenue alone, with the case dependent on faster conversion into existing capacity and improved opex absorption.

• Revenue growth remained positive in 1Q26, though the quarter primarily reflected continued early-scale execution rather than a step-function inflection. BOIL reported revenue of $1.26 million in 1Q26, up 24% y/y from $1.01 million and modestly above $1.24 million in 4Q25, implying an annualized run-rate of ~$5.0 million. The sequential increase of ~1% was limited, but the y/y growth confirms that commercial revenue is sustaining at a materially higher level than the prior-year base. The revenue increase reflected distributor revenue, additional revenue-generating agreements, and increased marketing efforts intended to expand global exposure, suggesting BOIL remains in the early phase of converting channel and customer development into recurring product demand.

  • Margin performance remains encouraging, with gross margin expanding despite a still-developing commercial base. Gross profit increased to $0.67 million from $0.51 million, while gross margin improved to 53.1% from 50.7% y/y. Cost of revenue rose 18% y/y to $0.59 million, below the 24% revenue increase, suggesting improved product economics and scale benefits even at a quarterly revenue base of only $1.26 million. The higher gross margin is important because BOIL’s recurring consumable model should support operating leverage as revenue scales across foodservice workflows, with incremental growth better positioned to absorb the expanded commercial infrastructure.

  • Operating expenses continued to scale with commercial build-out, with sales and marketing now the largest opex category. Total operating expenses increased 23% y/y to $2.73 million from $2.21 million, broadly in line with revenue growth, but mix shifted further toward commercialization. Sales and marketing increased 67% y/y to $1.47 million from $0.88 million, reflecting customer acquisition, rollout support, and direct sales investment. G&A declined 10% y/y to $1.04 million, while R&D increased 26% to $0.22 million.
