“I am reassuming the CEO role to build on the mission I started 12 years ago, with a clear, long-term mandate to lead Owlet through its next phase of scale and development in pediatric health,” said Kurt Workman, Owlet’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and Co-Founder. “While our core mission hasn’t changed, we are prioritizing our highest value opportunities to drive long-term stakeholder value, while sharpening our focus on business execution and operating efficiency.”
Workman continued, “We are making significant strides in our evolution into a comprehensive pediatric health and data platform.

Workman concluded, “Looking ahead, we are concentrating our resources to capture the significant white space available in our current high-value markets.

Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2026
Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $22.5 million, compared to revenue in the first quarter of 2025 of $21.1 million, an increase of 6.4%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue from our Owlet360 service as demand continues to grow.
Subscription revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $2.7 million.
Cost of revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $10.2 million with a gross margin of 54.5%, compared to cost of revenue of $9.8 million with a gross margin of 53.7% for the first quarter of 2025. Gross margin increased 80 basis points year-over-year including tariff impacts, offset by favorable product mix, lower direct and fulfillment costs, and growth in revenue from our Owlet360 subscription service.
Subscription gross margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 67.4%.
Operating expenses, including stock-based compensation, were $17.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $14.0 million for the same period in 2025. Operating costs increased year-over-year primarily due to increases in headcount-related expenses, including stock-based compensation as well as salaries and benefits.
Operating loss was $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to operating loss of $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2025.
Net loss was $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”). All statements contained in this press release that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s expected financial performance, including the Company’s financial outlook, outlook based upon global regulatory clearances, approvals, certifications, and/or classifications, product enhancements, growth prospects, future operational efficiencies or results, and expected market opportunity and acceptance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “estimate,” “may,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “goal,” “potential,” “upcoming,” “outlook,” “guidance,” the negation thereof, or similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s expectations at the time such statements are made, speak only as of the dates they are made and are susceptible to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors. For all such forward-looking statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Reform Act. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Many important factors could affect the Company’s future results and cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the Company’s forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, (i) the commercial success of Owlet’s products, including its subscription services, and the Company’s ability to support, scale and maintain its subscription services; (ii) the regulatory pathway for Owlet’s products, including submissions to, actions taken by and decisions and responses from regulators, such as the FDA and similar regulators outside of the United States, as well as Owlet’s ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval or certification for our products and other regulatory requirements and legal proceedings; (iii) Owlet’s competition and the Company’s ability to achieve future growth and sustain its growth rate; (iv) Owlet’s ability to attract and retain customers and increase sales to its customers; (v) Owlet’s ability to obtain additional financing in the future, as well risks associated with the Company’s current loan and debt agreements, including compliance with debt covenants, restrictions on the Company’s access to capital, the impact of the Company’s overall debt levels and the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future cash flows to meet Owlet’s debt service obligations and operate Owlet’s business; (vi) the ability of Owlet to implement strategic initiatives, reduce costs, develop and launch new products, innovate and enhance existing products, scale its platform, meet customer demands and adapt to changes in consumer preferences and retail trends; (vii) Owlet’s ability to acquire, defend and protect its intellectual property and satisfy regulatory requirements, including but not limited to requirements concerning privacy and data protection, breaches and loss, as well as other risks associated with Owlet’s digital platforms and technologies; (viii) Owlet’s ability to maintain relationships with manufacturers and suppliers and retain Owlet’s management and key employees; (ix) Owlet’s ability to upgrade and maintain its information technology systems; (x) changes in applicable laws or regulations in the United States and other jurisdictions; (xi) the impact of and disruption to Owlet’s business, financial condition, operations, supply chain and logistics due to economic and other conditions beyond the Company’s control, such as health epidemics or pandemics, macro-economic uncertainties, tariffs or trade restrictions, social unrest, hostilities, natural disasters or other catastrophic events; (xii) the possibility that Owlet may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, competitive or other factors, such as changes in discretionary consumer spending and consumer preferences; and (xiii) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company’s other releases, public statements and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including those identified in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as updated in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as any such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. All such forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to above. Moreover, the Company operates in an evolving environment. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this press release, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, although Owlet may do so from time to time. The Company does not endorse any projections regarding future performance that may be made by third parties.
Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share.
The Company uses such non-GAAP financial measures as internal measures of business operating performance and as performance measures for benchmarking against the Company’s peers and competitors. The Company believes its presentation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share provides a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of the Company’s current business and enables investors to better understand and evaluate its historical and prospective operating performance. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they exclude items that vary from period to period without correlation to the Company’s core operating performance and highlight trends in its business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. Due to the nature of the items being excluded, such items do not reflect future gains, losses, expenses or benefits and are not indicative of the Company’s future operating performance. The Company believes investors, analysts and other interested parties use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share in evaluating issuers, and the presentation of these measures facilitates a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance in addition to the Company’s performance based on GAAP results.
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for income tax provision, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, impairment of intangible assets, common stock warrant liability adjustment, stock-based compensation, and charges related to certain legal matters.
Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for impairment of intangible assets, common stock warrant liability adjustment, stock-based compensation, and charges related to certain legal matters. Adjusted net income (loss) per share is defined as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the basic weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share are not recognized terms under GAAP, and the Company’s presentation of these non-GAAP measures does not replace the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. Because all companies do not use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share (and similarly titled financial measures) in the same way, those measures as used by other companies may not be consistent with the way the Company calculates such measures. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release should not be construed as substitutes for or better indicators of the Company’s performance than the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. See the reconciliation tables that accompany this release for additional information regarding certain of the non-GAAP financial measures included herein.
A reconciliation of the Company’s guidance contained in this press release with respect to non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts and is not provided herein because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, the amounts of which could be material.
