VerifyMe Reports Q1 Revenue of $1.772M
Reports Q1 revenue $1.772M vs $4.455M last year. Adam Stedham, VerifyMe's CEO and President stated, "During Q1 of 2026, we fully implemented ProActive services and continued to transition ProActive customers from using our legacy shipping partner to using our new strategic shipping partner. We also transitioned key Premium customers to our Direct Premium model, allowing us to continue servicing these customers as they continue to ship with our legacy partner. In addition, we are in the final stages of integrating our technology with our new partner to begin offering our Premium services in Q2 of 2026. We believe our financial performance in Q1 of 2026 demonstrates the scalability of our model as we achieved improved gross profit margins despite lower revenues. We are now focused on completing our integrations and growing our revenues by both transitioning legacy customers and adding new customers."
