MERIDIAN, Idaho, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PCS Edventures!, Inc. (“PCSV”), a leading provider of TK-12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (“STEM”) education programs, today announced results of operations for its first quarter of fiscal year 2026, which ended on June 30, 2025, and an update on its operations.

First Quarter 2026 Overview:

Revenue decreased 23.3% to $2.42 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the first quarter in the previous year.

Gross margin increased 13 basis points to 63.4% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the first quarter in the previous year.

Net income before income tax provision was $0.55 million in the first quarter versus $1.12 million in the previous year same quarter.

Cash on hand increased 11.5% to $3.59 million versus the first quarter in the previous year.

During the quarter, 100,000 shares were repurchased on the open market with the intent of being canceled.

Subsequent to June 30, 2025, shares outstanding declined 3.1% as 3,736,170 shares were repurchased on the public market.

Operational Update

Federal funding of out-of-school-time programs remained uncertain during the quarter, negatively affecting demand in our market. Our focus on states with significant after-school and summer camp funding continued to show promise, and we will continue to prioritize states with substantial state-level out-of-school-time funds.

Historically, PCS did not align products for classroom use because each state maintains its own standards, while out-of-school-time programs have broader standards. With the changing funding landscape, we have begun aligning select products to the standards of several larger states and collecting evidence of student outcomes. This work could materially expand our addressable market, and we will continue to adjust to evolving funding environments and customer needs.

On July 1, 2025, the administration froze after-school and summer camp funding, including 21st Century Community Learning Centers (“CCLC”). Given the coinciding weakness in our stock price, we repurchased 3,736,170 shares at an average price of $0.0991. In total, we have repurchased 4,132,979 shares completing 41% of our buyback announced in April.

On July 18, 2025, the administration lifted the freeze allowing many out-of-school-time programs to continue for the coming year. Although next year’s budget could reduce or defund 21st CCLC, the bipartisan outcry during the freeze, and the recent Senate Appropriations Committee’s advancement of the fiscal year 2026 appropriations bill, suggests strong bi-partisan resistance to sustained funding cuts in education, and we do not view the elimination of the 21^st CCLC program as a likely outcome despite the administration vocalizing its desire to do so.

Development of our next-generation indoor–outdoor modular drone is nearly complete. We are finalizing curriculum and conducting significant testing before launch, with a pilot program scheduled in September. Responding to customer feedback, we believe this product can unlock meaningful demand in career and technical education (“CTE”), a market largely untouched by the recent federal funding debate.

The Company may face further turbulence; however, we are positioned to weather near-term volatility and strengthen our competitive position. We look forward to sharing additional updates and invite shareholders to our annual meeting on September 26, our first since 2016.
