Summary of Risk Factors Summary
We are providing the following summary of the risk factors contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to enhance the readability and accessibility of our risk factor disclosures. We encourage you to carefully review the full risk factors contained herein in their entirety for additional information regarding the material factors that make an investment in our securities speculative or risky. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:
•Combining our Legacy Ekso Business and Cloud Business may be more difficult, costly and time-consuming than expected, which may adversely affect our results and negatively affect the value of our common stock.
•We expect to need to raise external funds to support our business plan. Such capital raises are expected to cause dilution to our stockholders.
•We are a “controlled company” under Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules and, as a result, qualify for, and rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. As a result, investors in the Company do not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.
•Commencing November 30, 2026 (the end of our second fiscal quarter), we will no longer qualify as a smaller reporting company and will be subject to additional laws and regulations affecting public companies that will increase our costs and the demands on management and could harm our operating results.
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that you should consider before investing in our company, as fully described below. The principal factors and uncertainties that make investing in our company risky include, among others:
Risks Related to the Proposed Business Combination
Our proposed business combination with Applied Digital Corporation’s cloud computing business, Applied Digital Cloud, may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On February 15, 2026, we entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with APLD Intermediate HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“APLD Intermediate”), APLD ChronoScale HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of APLD Intermediate (“Contributor”), each a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Applied Digital Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, a Nevada corporation, which at the time of the Closing (as defined below), will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Contributor (“Cloud”), for purposes of consummating a business combination (the “Business Combination”), as a result of which (i) Cloud will become our wholly owned subsidiary, (ii) we will, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), continue as the parent of the combined company, and (iii) we will change our name to ChronoScale Corporation (“ChronoScale”).
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Contribution Agreement, Contributor will contribute all of its right, title and interest in and to 1,200 shares of the common stock of Cloud, constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Cloud, to us in exchange for 138,216,820 newly issued shares of our common stock (the “Exchanged Shares”). As a result of and upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Contributor is expected to own approximately 97% of the combined company’s outstanding equity before giving effect to the other transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.
The Contribution Agreement provides that the Closing is subject to certain conditions, including, among other things: (i) stockholder approval of the Business Combination as set forth in the Contribution Agreement and related proposals; (ii) an Information Statement or a Proxy Statement must be cleared by the SEC and sent to our stockholders in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and in the case of the Information Statement, such mailing must be at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to Closing; (iii) no order or law shall have been entered, adopted, enacted, issued, promulgated or enforced, in each case, by a governmental entity that prevents, enjoins, prohibits, restrains or makes illegal the consummation of the Business Combination or the other transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement; (iv) all requisite approvals or waivers as required by the terms of the Contribution Agreement shall have been obtained; (v) we shall have cash and cash equivalents equal to at least $15,000,000; and (vi) our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Second Restated Articles”) shall have been duly adopted by all necessary corporate action on our part, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, and shall be in full force and effect as of immediately prior to the Closing.
The obligation of each party to consummate the Business Combination is also conditioned upon (i) performance and compliance by the other party in all material respects with its pre-Closing obligations and covenants under the Contribution Agreement; (ii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party as of the Closing (subject to customary materiality qualifiers); (iii) in both Cloud’s and our case, the absence of a continuing material adverse effect with respect to the other party; (iv) in Cloud’s case, that (a) a private placement transaction for gross proceeds of an amount to be determined by APLD Intermediate and on terms acceptable to APLD Intermediate, shall have been consummated concurrently with the Closing (the securities to be issued in such private placement transaction, the “PIPE Securities”), (b) certain third-party consents as required by the terms of the Contribution Agreement shall have been obtained, (c) the Nasdaq listing application shall have been submitted and approved, (d) the Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) between us and Contributor shall be in full force and effect at Closing, and (e) certain tail insurance policies as described in the Contribution Agreement have been bound, paid for and in effect.
While it is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated in the second quarter of 2026, there can be no assurance that the foregoing conditions will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all, or that an effect, event, development or change will not transpire that could delay or prevent these conditions from being satisfied. If the Business Combination is consummated, the combined company will be subject to risks related to, among other things, ChronoScale’s ability to successfully integrate our market opportunities, technology, personnel and operations and to achieve expected benefits, including the possibility that the expected strategic benefits from the transaction will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period or that general economic conditions or updated accounting or regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on the combined business after the Closing.
If the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, the trading price of our common stock may decline, and we may also be subject to additional risks if the Business Combination is not completed, including:
Absent the Business Combination, we do not believe there is a reasonable prospect for our business to achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow in the near term without significant additional capital fundraising. Any such financing, if available at all, would likely be on terms that are highly dilutive to existing stockholders and could include the issuance of substantial amounts of equity, convertible securities, or other instruments with preferential rights. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to secure sufficient funding, we may be forced to liquidate assets, restructure, seek bankruptcy protection, or otherwise wind down our operations, which could result in a complete loss of stockholders’ investment.
The pendency of the Business Combination has and could continue to negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The pendency of the Business Combination has and could continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and may result the departure of key personnel. In connection with the Business Combination, some of our customers, suppliers, vendors, and other business partners may delay or defer decisions or may end their relationships with us, which could negatively affect our revenue, earnings, and cash flows, regardless of whether the Business Combination is completed. Similarly, our employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with us following the Business Combination, which may materially adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the Business Combination.
Until the completion of the Business Combination or the termination of the Contribution Agreement in accordance with its terms, we are prohibited from entering into certain transactions and taking certain actions that might otherwise be beneficial to us and our stockholders.
The Contribution Agreement imposes customary “no-shop” restrictions on our ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals, to furnish information to, and participate in discussions or negotiations with, third parties regarding any alternative acquisition proposals. Neither Contributor nor APLD Intermediate shall solicit, discuss or negotiate any acquisition proposal with respect to Cloud other than with us; however, transactions involving Cloud as part of any proposed sale of APLD are not restricted. These restrictions may prevent us from making changes to our business or organizational structure or from pursuing business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Business Combination. It is possible that these or other provisions in the Contribution Agreement might discourage a potential competing acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of our outstanding capital stock from considering or proposing an acquisition or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire our capital stock than it might otherwise have proposed to pay. Adverse effects arising from these restrictions could be exacerbated by any delays in the consummation of the Business Combination or the termination of the Contribution Agreement.

•Our Cloud Business has had, and is expected to continue to have, significant customer concentration.
•Failure to attract, grow and retain a diverse and balanced customer base, including key magnet customers, could harm our business and operating results.

•Our level of debt in the future may negatively impact our liquidity, restrict our operations and ability to respond to business opportunities, and increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions.
•Joint ventures, joint ownership arrangements and other projects pose unique challenges and we may not be able to fully implement or realize synergies, expected returns or other anticipated benefits associated with such projects.
•The loss of any of our management team, our inability to execute an effective succession plan, or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, could adversely affect our business.
•We may become involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business that may materially adversely affect us.
•Employee disputes or litigation and related unfavorable publicity may negatively affect our future business, financial condition, and operating results.
•Unfavorable global economic conditions and adverse developments with respect to financial institutions and associated liquidity risk could adversely affect our business, financial condition and stock price.
•The development and use of AI tools is subject to intense political scrutiny and evolving, complex and potentially divergent regulatory frameworks across multiple jurisdictions, and the impact of such regulatory developments on our businesses remains uncertain. If we are unable to comply with such laws and regulations and related export controls and other regulations, or if such requirements limit our ability to implement our business model, we may be subject to litigation, investigation or penalties, and our businesses and results of operations could be negatively impacted.
•Our inability to market and close the sale of our Legacy Ekso Business that is currently held for sale and treated as discontinued operations may have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.
•Our stock price has been volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future; this volatility may affect your ability to, and the price at which you could, sell our common stock.
•Future issuances of our equity securities may result in dilution to existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
•We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, which may limit the return our shareholders realize on their investment.
•Provisions in our Articles (as defined below), our Bylaws (as defined below), and Nevada law may discourage a takeover attempt even if a takeover might be beneficial to our stockholders.
We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs and expenses, including fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination, for which we will receive little or no benefit if the Business Combination is not completed. There are a number of factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of these costs and expenses. Many of these fees and costs will be payable by us even if the Business Combination is not completed and may relate to activities that we would not have undertaken other than to complete the Business Combination.
Litigation challenging the Contribution Agreement may prevent the Business Combination from being consummated within the expected timeframe or at all.
Lawsuits may be filed in the future, against us, the Board of Directors, or other parties to the Contribution Agreement, challenging the adequacy of the transaction disclosures or making other claims in connection with the Business Combination. Such lawsuits may be brought by purported stockholders or other interested parties, seeking, among other things, to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination. One of the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination is that no order or law shall have been entered, adopted, enacted, issued, promulgated or enforced, in each case, by a governmental entity that prevents, enjoins, prohibits, restrains or makes illegal the consummation of the Business Combination or the other transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement. As such, if the plaintiffs in such potential lawsuits are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the defendants from completing the Business Combination on the agreed upon terms, then such injunction may prevent the Business Combination from becoming effective within the expected timeframe or at all.
Our stockholders will be significantly diluted from the issuance of the Exchanged Shares and any other issuances in connection with the Business Combination, and such issuances, or perception that such issuances may occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
The consummation of the Business Combination will cause significant dilution to our stockholders. As a result of and upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Contributor is expected to own approximately 97% of the combined company’s outstanding equity and our legacy stockholders will own approximately 3% of the combined company’s outstanding equity before giving effect to the other transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement. In addition, we may consummate a private placement of securities to fund the post-closing business. The issuance of the Exchanged Shares or such other securities, or the perception that such issuances could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Business and Operational RisksOperations
Combining our Legacy Ekso Business and Cloud Business may be more difficult, costly and time-consuming than expected, which may adversely affect our results and negatively affect the value of our common stock.
The Business Combination closed on May 5, 2026 and our management has been working on integrating the Legacy Ekso Business and Cloud Business. The combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process and our management may face significant challenges in implementing such integration, many of which may be beyond the control of management, including, without limitation:
•difficulties in achieving anticipated business opportunities and growth prospects;
•the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process, including with respect to the intended tax efficient transactions;
•unanticipated changes in applicable laws and regulations; and
•unforeseen expenses or delays associated with the Business Combination.
Some of these factors will be outside of our control and any one of them could result in increased costs and diversion of management’s time and energy, as well as decreases in the amount of expected revenue that could materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. The integration process and other disruptions resulting from the Business Combination may also adversely affect our relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, distributors, licensors and others with whom we have business or other dealings, and difficulties in integrating our Legacy Ekso Business and Cloud Business could harm our reputation.
If we are not able to successfully combine our Legacy Ekso Business and Cloud Business in an efficient, cost-effective and timely manner, the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, and the value of our common stock, revenues, levels of expenses and results of operations may be affected adversely. If we are not able to adequately address integration challenges, we may be unable to successfully integrate our Legacy Ekso operations and Cloud operations or realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination.
We expect to need to raise external funds to support our growth strategy. Such capital raises are expected to cause dilution to our stockholders.
We expect to need to raise substantial additional capital to expand our operations, pursue our growth strategies and respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements. We anticipate that our current and future strategic growth initiatives will be capital-intensive. We expect to raise capital through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings and potentially joint venture agreements. Any additional fundraising efforts may divert our management from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our business. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, our stockholders’ ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect stockholder rights. Debt financing or refinancing may result in the imposition of debt covenants, increased fixed payment obligations or other restrictions that may affect our business. If we engage in additional debt financing, the holders of debt likely would have priority over the holders of our common stock in order of payment preference. Furthermore, our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by global macroeconomic conditions and volatility in the credit and financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide, over which we may have no or little control. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed or on acceptable terms would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy.

We operate our business through two wholly-owned subsidiaries: ChronoScale Corporation, a Nevada corporation (f/k/a Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, a Nevada corporation) (“Cloud”) and Ekso Bionics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Ekso”). Following the Holding Company Transaction (as defined and described below), Applied Digital Cloud Corporation changed its name to ChronoScale Corporation. All references to “Cloud” prior to the Holding Company Transaction are to Applied Digital Cloud Corporation and after the Holding Company Transaction, to ChronoScale Corporation. Through Cloud, we have been providing cloud services to customers at third-party colocation centers located in Colorado, Minnesota and Utah, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning developers, seeking to develop their advanced products (the “Cloud Business”). Customers pay a fixed rate in exchange for an energized space supported by Cloud-provided equipment. Through Legacy Ekso, we design, develop, and market exoskeleton and complementary products that augment human strength, endurance, and mobility (the “Legacy Ekso Business”). On June 4, 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors (the “Board”) committed to a plan to divest the Legacy Ekso Business and focus operations solely on our Cloud Business. We expect to complete the divestiture of the Legacy Ekso Business during fiscal year 2027. As such, our Legacy Ekso Business has been designated as “held for sale.”
On May 5, 2026, we consummated the previously announced business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by that certain Contribution and Exchange Agreement (the “Contribution and Exchange Agreement”), dated February 15, 2026, by and among Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Ekso”), APLD Intermediate HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“APLD Intermediate”), APLD ChronoScale HoldCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of APLD Intermediate (“Contributor”), each a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Applied Digital Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Applied Parent”), and Cloud, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Applied Parent and a direct subsidiary of Contributor as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”). Upon the Closing, Ekso changed its name to “ChronoScale Corporation” and Cloud became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ekso. Following the Closing, we operated in two distinct business segments: the Cloud Business, which operated through Cloud, and the Legacy Ekso Business, which operated through Legacy Ekso, which is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Ekso. On July 1, 2026, we completed a holding company formation transaction (the “Holding Company Transaction”), as further described below, that created a new parent holding company as the public company, called ChronoScale Holdings Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“ChronoScale Holdings”), with its operating companies as wholly-owned subsidiaries. The holding company structure better reflects our individual operating businesses, allows for and can accommodate future growth from internal operations and generally provides for greater administrative and operational flexibility.
On May 29, 2026, our Board determined that the Legacy Ekso Business met the criteria to be classified as “held for sale” on our consolidated balance sheets as the Board committed to a plan to divest Legacy Ekso and the Legacy Ekso Business to focus our operations solely on the Cloud Business. We deem it appropriate to classify a business as a discontinued operation if the business meets all of the following criteria: (i) it is a component of the Company, (ii) the component meets the held-for-sale criteria, and (iii) the disposal of the component represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As of May 31, 2026, we deemed our Legacy Ekso Business to be discontinued operations due to the disposal group meeting all three criteria. As such, we have excluded the results of this business segment from our continuing operations and presented them in discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented in our audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The comparative periods have been updated to present the Legacy Ekso Business as held for sale and discontinued operations as of May 31, 2026. We recognized $0.4 million in revenue from the Legacy Ekso Business during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026 within discontinued operations.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. prior to the Business Combination, ChronoScale Corporation following the Business Combination and ChronoScale Holdings following the Holding Company Transaction.

Reverse Stock Split
As previously disclosed, on December 12, 2024, Legacy Ekso received a written notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that because the minimum bid price for the Legacy Ekso’s common stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market was below $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement").
Before the opening of the stock market on June 2, 2025, Legacy Ekso effected a 1-for-15 reverse split of its common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). As a result, all common stock share amounts pertaining to Legacy Ekso instruments assumed by ChronoScale Holdings Corporation in the Business Combination included in this filing have been retroactively reduced by a factor of fifteen, rounded up to the nearest whole share, and all common stock per share amounts have been increased by a factor of fifteen, with the exception of the Company's common stock par value and the Company's authorized shares. Following the Reverse Stock Split, amounts affected included common stock outstanding, restricted stock units, common stock underlying stock options, and warrants.
The Reverse Stock Split was effected in order to raise the per share trading price of Legacy Ekso's common stock above $1.00 and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On June 13, 2025, Legacy Ekso regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
Business Combination
On May 5, 2026, we completed the Business Combination contemplated by the Contribution and Exchange Agreement.
In connection with the Business Combination and immediately prior to the Closing, (i) we amended and restated our Articles of Incorporation and, in connection therewith, changed our name from "Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc." to "ChronoScale Corporation" ("ChronoScale"), and (ii) Applied Parent consummated the Applied Parent PIPE Investment (as defined and further described below).
Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, (i) Contributor contributed to us all of its right, title and interest in and to 1.2 shares of common stock of Cloud, constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Cloud (the "Contributed Shares"), in exchange for 138,217 newly issued shares of our common stock (the "Exchanged Shares"); (ii) we entered into the Investor Rights Agreement with Contributor; (iii) we amended and restated our bylaws; and (iv) we adopted the ChronoScale 2026 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. In connection with the Business Combination, the CUSIP number for our common stock changed to 170924 104.
As a result of the Business Combination, Cloud became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Following the consummation of the Applied Parent PIPE Investment and the Closing, Applied Parent and Contributor beneficially owned approximately 97% of our outstanding common stock (resulting in Applied Parent obtaining a controlling interest in the Company) and legacy Ekso shareholders owned approximately 3% of our outstanding common stock.
Fiscal Year End
In connection with the Business Combination, as of the Closing Date, the Company changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to May 31.
Investor Rights Agreement
At the Closing, we entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with the Contributor, pursuant to which, the APLD Designator (as defined therein) has the right to designate four (4) of the seven (7) directors on our Board, including the Chairman (each such director, an “APLD Designee”). The initial APLD Designees are Wes Cummins (Chairman), Ella Benson, Douglas Miller and Richard Nottenburg. The remaining Board members are Ying Cenly Chen, our Chief Executive Officer, William M. Clancy, and Scott G. Davis, the Chief Executive Officer of Legacy Ekso.
The Investor Rights Agreement provides that, (i) for so long as the APLD Investors (as defined therein) beneficially own at least 50% of our aggregate outstanding voting securities, the APLD Designator may designate four (4) directors, (ii) if the APLD Investors beneficially own at least 25% of our aggregate outstanding voting securities, the APLD Designator may designate three (3) directors; (iii) if the APLD Investors beneficially own at least 10% (but less than 25%) of our aggregate outstanding voting securities, the APLD Designator may designate two (2) directors; and (iv) if the APLD Investors beneficially own less than 10% of our aggregate outstanding voting securities, the APLD Designator may designate one (1) director. In addition, the Investor Rights Agreement provides that the APLD Designator has the right, but not the obligation, to consent to any individual nominated for election to the Board seat initially occupied by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for so long as the APLD Investors collectively beneficially own at least 25% of the aggregate outstanding voting securities of the Company. Additionally, for so long as the APLD Investors continue to beneficially own at least thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate outstanding voting securities of the Company, the Board is prohibited from increasing the total number of directors on the Board to greater than seven (7) and, in no event shall any decrease in the number of directors on the Board, in any instance, eliminate, abridge, or otherwise modify the APLD Designator’s designation rights, in each case, without the consent of the APLD Designator.
The Investor Rights Agreement also provides that, for so long as the APLD Investors continue to beneficially own at least 30% of the aggregate outstanding voting securities of the Company, we must obtain the prior written consent of the APLD Designator for certain corporate actions, including, but not limited to, commencing or approving any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, making any fundamental change in the nature of our business, amending our governing documents, incurring, creating, assuming or guaranteeing any indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions) and making or committing to make any acquisition, joint venture, partnership, strategic alliance or formation of any subsidiary.
Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Contributor is entitled to preemptive rights for so long as it beneficially owns at least 10% of the Company’s aggregate outstanding voting securities, subject to certain exemptions. When we propose to issue new equity securities, we must provide the Contributor with written notice specifying the securities to be offered, the price, and other material terms. Within 10 days of receiving this notice, the Contributor may elect to purchase up to the lesser of (i) 150% of its pro rata share of outstanding equity securities or (ii) 75% of the new securities being offered, with an oversubscription right for any unsubscribed securities.
In addition, we are required to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of all registrable securities held by the APLD Investors by the date that is sixty (60) days after Closing.
Services Agreement
At the Closing, we entered into a Management Advisory and Corporate Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Applied Parent. Under the Services Agreement, Applied Parent has agreed to provide us with (i) management advisory services, including financial, managerial, and operational advice regarding day-to-day operations and strategic transactions and (ii) certain corporate services to us, including administrative and software services, and various personnel services. Under the Services Agreement, we will pay Applied Parent (i) an amount equal to one percent (1%) of our and our subsidiaries’ gross revenue per quarter and (ii) fees for other corporate services provided by Applied Parent to us and our subsidiaries as they are incurred on a monthly basis. The Services Agreement has an initial term of twelve (12) months, with automatic successive one (1)-month renewals unless either party provides at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of non-renewal prior to the expiration of the initial term or at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the renewal term, and may be terminated by Applied Parent upon thirty (30) days written notice to us or by either party upon an uncured material breach or upon a party’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
2026 Plan
Effective upon the Closing, we adopted the 2026 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan as amended and as adopted by ChronoScale Holdings following the Holding Company Transaction (the “2026 Plan”). The 2026 Plan was approved by the Board on February 14, 2026, and by the Principal Stockholders on February 20, 2026.

In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan were terminated immediately prior to the Closing, provided that all outstanding awards under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan will remain outstanding and will continue to be governed by their existing terms.

Debt Financings
B. Riley Promissory Note
On May 5, 2026, in connection with the Business Combination, ChronoScale Holdings Corporation assumed a Secured Promissory Note and Security Agreement (the “B. Riley Promissory Note”) by and between Legacy Ekso and B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC (“B. Riley”) as lender. The B. Riley Promissory Note provides for a secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.0 million. The B. Riley Promissory Note was measured at its estimated fair value as of the Business Combination acquisition date. The loan matures on the earlier of the receipt of at least $2.4 million in net proceeds from the sale of the equity interests from new equity investors (a “Qualified Financing”), or September 14, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”).
Borrowings under the B. Riley Promissory Note bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, which shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, we shall pay to B. Riley an exit fee in the amount of 10% of the original principal amount of the loan, which shall in the aggregate be $0.2 million (the “Exit Fee”). We may prepay the obligations under the B. Riley Promissory Note at any time in whole or in part. In connection with such prepayment, we must pay all accrued but unpaid interest on such portion of the principal prepaid, all interest that would have accrued through the Maturity Date on such principal amount prepaid and the portion of the Exit Fee applicable to such principal amount prepaid. B. Riley may elect to convert the obligations under the B. Riley Promissory Note, including the principal, interest, and Exit Fee, into equity securities in connection with a Qualified Financing at the purchase price per share paid by the lead investor thereunder.
In connection with the Closing, we obtained a written consent from B. Riley waiving any notice, consent, approval, acceleration, default-rate, penalty and other remedies under the B. Riley Promissory Note arising from the Business Combination and any related cross-defaults.
As of the date of this report, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the B. Riley Promissory Note is $2.0 million.
Parker Hannifin Promissory Note
On May 5, 2026, in connection with the Business Combination, ChronoScale Holdings Corporation assumed an unsecured, subordinated promissory note (the “Parker Hannifin Promissory Note”) by and between Legacy Ekso and Parker Hannifin Corporation (“Parker”). The Parker Hannifin Promissory Note was measured at its estimated fair value as of the Business Combination acquisition date. The Parker Hannifin Promissory Note, which is subordinate to the B. Riley Promissory Note, bears no interest with principal payable in sixteen equal installments due on the last day of each quarter, which commenced on December 31, 2023 and matures on September 30, 2027.
As of the date of this report, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Parker Hannifin Note is $1.6 million.
We design, develop, and market exoskeleton and complementary products that augment human strength, endurance, and mobility. The primary end market for our exoskeleton technology is healthcare, where our technology primarily serves people with physical disabilities or impairments in both physical rehabilitation and mobility. The majority of our sales are generated from our Enterprise Health products, which include the sales of products and services related to neurorehabilitation in clinical settings. We also provide products and services from our Personal Health market to individual users.
In addition to our current products and services, we continue to explore business development initiatives to fuel growth and long-term value in our existing markets.
Enterprise Health Market
Our sales priority for Enterprise Health customers involves the education of clinical and executive stakeholders on the economic and clinical value of our robotic exoskeleton portfolio, including the EksoNR and the Ekso Indego Therapy devices. In tandem, we continue to leverage our EksoNR and Ekso Indego customer base to educate and mentor strategic target centers that specialize in stroke, traumatic brain injury ("TBI"), multiple sclerosis ("MS"), and spinal cord injury ("SCI") rehabilitation and treatment in specific geographies.
Within our Enterprise Health market we also sell our EVO product to commercial and industrial companies that are focused on solving ergonomic challenges for their workers. These challenges range from injury prevention, fatigue reduction, and/or improved worker productivity. Sales of EVO are focused on applications that involve repetitive work at shoulder height and above. While EVO is a general-purpose product, we currently target specific vertical markets, including aerospace, automotive, general manufacturing, and certain construction trades.
Starting in late 2025, we began marketing the MediTouch BalanceTutor to our Enterprise Health customers under an exclusive distribution agreement with MediTouch. The BalanceTutor rehabilitation system includes a patented multidirectional perturbation treadmill and multiple force and movement sensors that allow patients impacted by impaired balance to react to unanticipated disturbances while standing or walking. We believe that the BalanceTutor offers treatment options that are complementary to our rehabilitation exoskeletons and that the two can be used in combination for many patients. We expect to begin the sales and distribution of the BalanceTutor in early 2026.
Personal Health Market
Within the Personal Health market, we serve individual users with the Ekso Indego Personal, which is intended to provide overground ambulation in community and home settings. The primary use case for Ekso Indego Personal is for users with SCI. For this user population, confinement to a wheelchair can cause severe physical and psychological deterioration. As a result, the secondary medical consequences of paralysis can include difficulty with bowel and urinary tract function, osteoporosis, loss of lean mass, gain in fat mass, insulin resistance, diabetes, and heart disease. The cost of treating these conditions is substantial.
On April 11, 2024, CMS approved a payment level of approximately $91,000 for Medicare reimbursement of the Ekso Indego Personal, which took effect on April 1, 2024. CMS reimbursement creates the possibility that we will see increased demand for this device as we are able to more economically serve the larger U.S. patient population suffering from SCI. Specifically, as of December 31, 2025, according to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center ("NSCISC") in their 2025 SCI Data Sheet, approximately, an estimated 309,000 individuals are currently living with SCI and another 18,000 suffer from new SCI injuries each year. According to the NSCISC in their SCI Model Systems 2024 Annual Statistical Report, approximately 57% of individuals with SCI are enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid within five years post-injury.

Our proposed business combination with Applied Digital Corporation’s cloud computing business, Applied Digital Cloud, may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On February 15, 2026, we entered into the Contribution Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Contribution Agreement, Contributor will contribute all of its right, title and interest in and to 1,200 shares of the common stock of Cloud, constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Cloud, to us in exchange for 138,216,820 newly issued shares of our common stock (the “Exchanged Shares”). As a result of and upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Contributor is expected to own approximately 97% of the combined company’s outstanding equity before giving effect to the other transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.
The Contribution Agreement provides that the Closing is subject to certain conditions, including, among other things: (i) no order or law shall have been entered, adopted, enacted, issued, promulgated or enforced, in each case, by a governmental entity that prevents, enjoins, prohibits, restrains or makes illegal the consummation of the Business Combination or the other transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement; (ii) all requisite approvals or waivers as required by the terms of the Contribution Agreement shall have been obtained; (iii) we shall have cash and cash equivalents equal to at least $15,000,000; and (iv) our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Second Restated Articles”) shall have been duly adopted by all necessary corporate action on our part, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, and shall be in full force and effect as of immediately prior to the Closing.
The obligation of each party to consummate the Business Combination is also conditioned upon (i) performance and compliance by the other party in all material respects with its pre-Closing obligations and covenants under the Contribution Agreement; (ii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party as of the Closing (subject to customary materiality qualifiers); (iii) in both Cloud’s and our case, the absence of a continuing material adverse effect with respect to the other party; (iv) in Cloud’s case, that (a) a private placement transaction for gross proceeds of an amount to be determined by APLD Intermediate and on terms acceptable to APLD Intermediate, shall have been consummated concurrently with the Closing, (b) certain third-party consents as required by the terms of the Contribution Agreement shall have been obtained, (c) the Nasdaq listing application shall have been submitted and approved, (d) the Investor Rights Agreement shall be in full force and effect at Closing, and (e) certain tail insurance policies as described in the Contribution Agreement have been bound, paid for and in effect.
While it is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated in the second quarter of 2026, there can be no assurance that the foregoing conditions will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all, or that an event, development or change will not transpire that could delay or prevent these conditions from being satisfied. If the Business Combination is consummated, the combined company will be subject to risks related to, among other things, ChronoScale’s ability to successfully integrate our market opportunities, technology, personnel and operations and to achieve expected benefits, including the possibility that the expected strategic benefits from the transaction will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period or that general economic conditions or updated accounting or regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on the combined business after the Closing.
If the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, the trading price of our common stock may decline, and we may also be subject to additional risks if the Business Combination is not completed, including:
Absent the Business Combination, we do not believe there is a reasonable prospect for our business to achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow in the near term without significant additional capital fundraising. Any such financing, if available at all, would likely be on terms that are difficult and highly dilutive to existing stockholders and could include the issuance of substantial amounts of equity, convertible securities, or other instruments with preferential rights. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to secure sufficient funding, we may be forced to liquidate assets, restructure, seek bankruptcy protection, or otherwise wind down our operations, which could result in a complete loss of stockholders’ investment.
Certain of our customers utilize federal funding to purchase our products, and recent federal policy changes has disrupted, and could continue to disrupt, that funding.
Certain of our customers, including certain hospital systems, utilize federal funding to purchase our products. The current presidential administration has proposed and implemented certain budget cuts to key federal health agencies, which has reduced the availability of federal funding. Shifting priorities in federal research funding or a move toward industry partnerships over direct grant funding could further reduce the availability of federal funding for certain of our customers. These policy shifts have led, and may continue to lead, to a reduction or elimination of funding for programs for our customers, which has impacted their ability to purchase our products. As such, such reductions and potential further reductions could adversely impact our financial results.
Coverage policies and reimbursement levels of third-party payors, including Veteran's Administration, Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payors may impact sales growth of our products.
To the extent that the adoption of our products by our customers is dependent on their ability to obtain adequate reimbursement for the products or treatments provided using our product from third-party payors, including government payors such as Veteran's Administration ("VA"), Medicare, and Medicaid, as well as private payors, such as managed care organizations and commercial payors, the coverage policies and reimbursement levels of these third-party payors may impact the decisions of healthcare providers, facilities, or end users to purchase our products or the prices they would be willing to pay for those products. Reimbursement coverage could also affect the acceptance rates of new technologies. We have no control over these factors.
In the United States, there are multiple avenues for potential medical product reimbursement, including through government payors, such as VA and CMS, or private sector payors, such as commercial or managed health care organizations. Often principal decisions regarding initial reimbursement for new medical products are made by CMS, the largest domestic payor. The decisions made by CMS, including whether and to what extent a new product will be covered and reimbursed under Medicare, often precede adoption of private sector payors. However, because there is no uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement in the United States, each payor generally determines for its own enrollees or insured patients whether to cover or otherwise establish a policy to reimburse based on its own medical relevance testing. Additionally, seeking payor approvals is a time-consuming and costly process often involving third-party durable medical equipment providers (“DMEs”). Our business plan for our Personal Health products depends in a large part on sales of our Ekso Indego Personal product to or through DMEs to individuals living with SCI. These individuals can either self-pay or submit for reimbursement through the public or private sector payor network.
With CMS currently having the largest number of covered patients, if CMS delays or cancels reimbursement decisions, or materially changes the reimbursement level it has set, our ability to sell into this market may be diminished. In addition, the policies affecting the implementation of individual reimbursement decisions are made by regional DME Medicare Administrative Contractors. Certain policies are not yet known to us and may affect the number of individual purchases that are approved to receive reimbursement in the future. In addition, we have no guarantee that our products will obtain insurance coverage beyond CMS and VA. We cannot be certain that coverage for our current and our planned future products will be provided in the future by additional payors or that existing agreements, policy decisions or reimbursement levels will remain in place, remain adequate, or be fulfilled under existing terms and provisions. If we cannot obtain coverage and adequate reimbursement from governmental and private sector payors, such as Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, or commercial payors, for our current products or new products that we may develop in the future, demand for such products may decline or may not grow as we expect, which could limit our ability to generate revenue and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
The coverage and reimbursement market may be additionally impacted by future legislative changes. There are increasing efforts by governmental and private sector payors in the United States and abroad to cap or reduce healthcare costs which may cause such organizations to limit both coverage and the level of reimbursement for newly approved products and, as a result, they may not cover or provide adequate payment for our products. Specifically, there have been several recent U.S. presidential executive orders, Congressional inquiries, and proposed and enacted federal and state legislation designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to drug and medical device pricing, reduce the cost under Medicare, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies. We expect to experience pricing pressures in connection with the sale of any of our products due to the trend toward managed healthcare, the increasing influence of health maintenance organizations, cost containment initiatives and additional legislative changes.
Shutdowns of the U.S. federal government could materially impair our business and financial condition.
Development of our product candidates and obtaining regulatory approvals or reimbursements from government agencies may be delayed for reasons beyond our control. For example, the current U.S. government shutdown impacts several regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, which have furloughed critical government employees and stopped critical activities. If a prolonged government shutdown or budget sequestration occurs, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, while CMS reimbursement is considered an essential service and is thus less likely to be affected, other administrative functions within CMS could be affected, including as a result of the executive and congressional branches of the U.S. government being unable to reach a resolution on the deployment of the federal government’s funds. Further, in our operations as a public company, the current and future government shutdowns could impact our ability to access the public markets, such as through the declaration of effectiveness of registration statements and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue our operations.
Material impairments in the value of our intangible assets, including developed technology and trade name, could negatively affect our operating results.
We regularly review our intangible assets, including our goodwill, for impairment. Goodwill and other intangible assets are subject to impairment review on an annual basis and whenever potential impairment indicators are present. Changes in market conditions or other changes in the future outlook of value may lead to impairment charges. Future results, events or decisions may lead to asset impairments and/or related charges. Certain non-cash impairments may result from failure to achieve the expected financial results with respect to acquired assets and/or a change in our strategic goals, business direction or other factors relating to the overall business environment. Material impairment charges could negatively affect our results of operations.
For example, we recorded $2.3 million for each of the developed technology and trade name assets relating to our acquisition of the Human Motion Control business unit of Parker Hannifin Corporation in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Failure to recognize sufficient revenue from the technology received in such acquisition could lead to impairment charges on the value of such assets in future periods, including as soon as the fourth quarter of 2025, which could be material to our results of operations. For more information, see our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report and our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report.
YouOur stockholders will be significantly diluted from futurethe issuance of the Exchanged Shares and any other issuances of our equity securities, including in strategicconnection transactionswith orthe futureBusiness financings, from compensatory equity awards and exercises of outstanding warrants,Combination, and such issuances, or perception that such issuances may occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
The consummation of the Business Combination will cause significant dilution to our stockholders. As a result of and upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Contributor is expected to own approximately 97% of the combined company’s outstanding equity and our legacy stockholders will own approximately 3% of the combined company’s outstanding equity before giving effect to the other transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, assuming full conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, full vesting of outstanding director restricted stock units that are expected to vest upon the Closing in accordance with their terms and the issuance of $15.0 million shares of our common stock in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), at an assumed price per share of $11.81, the closing price of the common stock on March 12, 2026 (which is subject to change). The issuance of the Exchanged Shares or such other securities, or the perception that such issuances could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
Future operating or business decisions will cause dilution to our existing stockholders. For example, we will issue a substantial amount of equity securities or securities exercisable or convertible into equity securities in connection with strategic transactions or for financing purposes, including through one or more registered or unregistered offerings. Furthermore, a substantial majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act so long as we are generally current on our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, unless these shares are owned or purchased by “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. We will also make equity grants under one or more employee equity incentive plan or our employee stock purchase plan or issue common stock as matching contributions to our employees under our 401(k) Plan. You will also be subject to dilution from the exercise or settlement of outstanding options or restricted stock units under the Restated 2014 Plan, and from the exercise of our warrants. In addition, sales or issuances of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or other equity-related securities in the public markets, or the perception that such sales or issuances could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
We may not achieve profitability in the near term or at all, and historically we have not been profitable. Management has historically financed the Company’s operations through external financings, from both equity and debt financings, like issuances under our ATM Agreement, our registered offering in August 2024, and entering into the B. Riley Promissory Note, for example. To the extent our cash on hand does not provide sufficient capital for us to achieve profitability, or we are unable to maintain profitability once initially achieved, we expect we will need to raise additional capital through future financings. To the extent we decide to conduct a financing in the future, the form of such financing may include one or more of the following: (i) underwritten offerings of shares of our common stock, (ii) sales of shares of our common stock under an "at the market" offering program, (iii) issuing shares of our common stock upon the exercise of warrants at reduced exercise prices, (iv) incurring indebtedness with one or more financial institutions, (v) sale of product line or technology, and (vi) the factoring of trade receivables. Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, or we may be required to seek other more costly or time-consuming methods. Any failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies.
We may not be able to reduce the cost to manufacture or service our products as planned.
Our business plan assumes that exoskeletons can be manufactured more inexpensively than they are currently being manufactured. However, we have not yet found a way to significantly reduce the manufacturing cost of our products and doing so may prove more difficult than expected or even impossible. For example, if expectations for greater functionality of the products drive costs up as other factors drive costs down, the result may be that the overall cost of manufacturing the product stays the same or even increases. Likewise, we currently provide service and support of our products for our customers at a high standard (both in and out of warranty), and plan on continuing to do so. Our business plan also assumes that as we continue to improve our product, we achieve improved levels of product reliability and decreased service cost and frequency, which also may prove more difficult than expected.
We might not be able to continue as a going concern.
Our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. As of
September 30, 2025, we had cash of $2.7 million and an accumulated deficit of $257.7 million. We do not believe that our cash is sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months. We will need to increase revenues substantially beyond levels that we have attained in the past in order to generate sustainable operating profit and sufficient cash flows to continue doing business without raising additional capital from time to time. As a result of our expected operating losses and cash burn for the foreseeable future and recurring losses from operations, if we are unable to raise sufficient capital through additional debt or equity arrangements, there will be uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate our business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us.
If we are unable to generate sustainable operating profit and sufficient cash flows, then our future success will depend on our ability to raise capital. We are seeking additional financing and evaluating financing alternatives in the near term in order to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months. We cannot be certain that raising additional capital, whether through selling additional debt or equity securities or obtaining a line of credit or other loan, will be available to us or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If we issue additional securities to raise funds, these securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our common stock, and our current stockholders may experience dilution. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to curtail our current product development programs, cut operating costs, forego future development and other opportunities or even terminate our operations.
Shortages in the materials used to manufacture our products and supply chain disruptions, including as a result of changes in trade policies, could impact our future results.
Due to a variety of factors, various materials we and the third-party manufacturers we rely on use to manufacture our products are currently, or may in the future, experience shortages and supply chain disruptions, including from shipping delays. Electronic components in general, battery cells, metals and plastics, all of which we use in our products, have, in the recent past, been in shorter supply compared to prior periods. Numerous factors, such as conflicts in the Middle East and Europe or further trade tensions between the United States and China, may prolong or deepen these challenges. Our operating results may be negatively impacted if global supply chains of semiconductors and other important commodities recur in the future.
Additionally, we may experience shortages and supply chain disruptions as a result of changes in domestic and international trade policies, including the imposition of higher tariffs on imports from various countries from which we procure raw materials and components to support the manufacturing and sale of our products, as well as retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries. There have been significant changes to tariffs recently. While we believe that under current tariff criteria we will not be subject to additional direct costs from tariffs on the raw materials used to manufacture our medical products, we may be adversely impacted by indirect impact from tariff increases or the existing criteria may change such that we become subject to direct tariffs on imported raw materials. These tariffs could lead to increased costs for raw materials and components, which may not be fully passed on to our customers, thereby reducing our profit margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs could adversely affect our export sales. Such changes in trade policies may lead to supply chain disruptions and material shortages, which could adversely affect our financial results.
The uncertainty surrounding future trade policies and potential further tariff increases could also impact our strategic planning and investment decisions. We may need to adjust our sourcing strategies, explore alternative suppliers or consider other international contract manufacturer partners, all of which could cause us to incur substantial costs and face operational challenges. Furthermore, prolonged trade tensions and the potential for a trade war could lead to broader economic instability, affecting consumer confidence and demand for our products. We are actively monitoring developments in trade policies and are prepared to take necessary actions to mitigate these risks, but there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful.
International sales of our products are subject to factors outside of our control.
Our business currently depends in part on our activities in the EMEA, APAC, and other foreign markets. Our international activities are subject to a number of risks inherent in selling and operating abroad, including failure of local laws to provide the same degree of protection against infringement of our intellectual property rights; protectionist laws and business practices that favor local competitors, which could slow our growth in international markets; the expense of establishing facilities and operations in new foreign markets; building an organization capable of supporting geographically dispersed operations; challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences; challenges caused by differences in legal regulations, markets, and customer preferences, which may limit our ability to adapt our products or succeed in other regions; multiple, conflicting, and changing laws and regulations, including complications due to unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, foreign laws, tax schemes, international import and export legislation, trading and investment policies, exchange controls and tariff and other trade barriers; foreign tax consequences; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and foreign currency translation adjustments; foreign exchange controls that might prevent us from repatriating income earned outside the United States; imposition of public sector controls; differing payor reimbursement regimes, governmental payors or patient self-pay systems and price controls; political, economic and social instability; and restrictions on the export or import of technology.
In addition, policy changes that result in increased international sales may not continue or may increase cyclicality of our sales cycles. For example, due to local government policy changes, we saw increased sales in France in 2024. Such increased sales are expected to be limited to 2024 and future periods when such devices may be replaced in the future, to the extent such policy changes remain in effect.

We design, develop, and market exoskeleton and complementary products that augment human strength, endurance, and mobility. The primary end market for our exoskeleton technology is healthcare, where our technology primarily serves people with physical disabilities or impairments in both physical rehabilitation and mobility. The majority of our sales are generated from our Enterprise Health products, which includesinclude the sales of products and services related to neurorehabilitation in clinical settings. We also provide products and services from our Personal Health market to individual users.
Our sales priority for Enterprise Health customers involves the education of clinical and executive stakeholders on the economic and clinical value of our robotic exoskeleton portfolio, including the EksoNR and the Ekso Indego Therapy devices. In tandem, we continue to leverage our EksoNR and Ekso Indego Therapy customer base to educate and mentor strategic target centers that specialize in stroke, traumatic brain injury ("TBI"), multiple sclerosis ("MS"), and spinal cord injury ("SCI") rehabilitation and treatment in specific geographies.
Starting in late 2025, we began marketing the MediTouch BalanceTutor to our Enterprise Health customers under an exclusive distribution agreement with MediTouch. The BalanceTutor rehabilitation system includes a patented multidirectional perturbation treadmill and multiple force and movement sensors that allow patients impacted by impaired balance to react to unanticipated disturbances while standing or walking. We believe that the BalanceTutor offers treatment options that are complementary to our rehabilitation exoskeletons and that the two can be used in combination for many patients. We expect to begin the sales and distribution of the BalanceTutor in the second quarter of 2026.
On April 11, 2024, CMS approved a payment level of approximately $91,000 for Medicare reimbursement of the Ekso Indego Personal, which took effect on April 1, 2024. CMS reimbursement creates the possibility that we will see increased demand for this device as we are able to more economically serve the larger U.S. patient population suffering from SCI. Specifically, as of December 31, 2024,2025, according to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center ("NSCISC"), in their 2026 SCI Data Sheet, approximately, an estimated 309,000312,000 individuals are currently living with SCI and another 18,000 suffer from new SCI injuries each year. According to the NSCISC,NSCISC in their SCI Model Systems 2024 Annual Statistical Report, approximately 57% of individuals with SCI are enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid within five years post-injury.

Given this ramp, we expect the majority of our revenue in 20252026 will continue to come from Enterprise Health sales, but with Personal Health product sales contributing more quarter over quarter.
Another key part of our growth strategy is seeking insurance coverage beyond CMS and seeking additional indications of use for our products. WeLonger term, we believe that sales of our Personal Health products have the potential to be a significant growth driver for us as we work to gain coverage by other insurance providers, expand the products' indications of use beyond SCI and optimize our reimbursement submission processes.
Nomad is currently for sale in limited volumes in the Personal Health market for use in a non-Company-sponsored single clinical study. Subject to clinical and patient feedback from clinical trials, we expect to begin the general commercialization process for Nomad in late 2026.
Business Combination

We are continuing to explore one or more strategic transactions with certain third parties with respect to our medical device business. There can be no assurances that any such transaction will occur.
Exploration of Strategic Transactions
The Company is in the process of exploring one or more strategic transactions with certain third parties, which transactions may include the acquisition of a line of business that is in a different industry than the Company’s current business and/or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s current business. There can be no assurances that any such transaction will occur, and the Company expects to continue executing on its growth strategy during this process. The Company expects that the consummation of any such transaction would be subject to the Company obtaining stockholder approval and any such acquisition would involve the issuance of a substantial amount of Company securities. The Company has not set a timetable for the strategic review process, and the Company does not intend to provide updates until the Company determines that disclosure is appropriate or required.
Our revenue is highly dependent on market demand for our exoskeleton products. This market demand is influenced by many factors including the level of awareness of robotic exoskeleton rehabilitation among the rehabilitation clinics with significant stroke, ABI, and SCI populations, the levels of reimbursements our customers will be able to receive, the level of reimbursement we will able to receive from Medicare and private insurers on claims related to our Ekso Indego Personal, as well as conditions relating to overall economic growth and general business activity. Difficult and challenging economic conditions, including an increasingly inflationary environment and federal funding and policy changes, hashave led to increased price-based competition. In particular, the effects of such increasing price-based competition have had an especially significant impact on certain products that we offer, including the EksoNR and Ekso Indego Therapy in the United States, which have a lengthy sale and purchase order cycle because they are major capital expenditure items and generally require the approval of senior management at purchasing institutions. The timing of executing sales contracts with large hospital networks can be unpredictable, which has and may continue to impact the timing and amounts of device sales. Furthermore, we do business in the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions,APAC, which results in our business being impacted by changes in the strength of the local currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar.
See “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors,” specifically the risk titled “Coverage policies and reimbursement levels of third-party payors,payers, including Medicare or Medicaid, may impact sales of our products” in our Annual Report for more information.
Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants Valuation
In connection with equity financings, we generally account for convertible preferred stock as temporary equity and warrants as a component of equity (for additional information see Note 11. Capitalization and Equity Structure in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report). The fair values of these financial instruments have been determined using the Binomial Lattice model (the "Lattice Model"). The Lattice Model provides for assumptions regarding expected volatility, expected term, exercise price, risk-free interest rates, the value of the underlying security, and the probability of and likely timing of a specific event within the period to redemption or maturity. These values are subject to a significant degree of judgment. In addition to the aforementioned inputs, the Company’s common stock price represents a significant input that affects the valuation of such convertible preferred stock and warrants.
Warrant Liabilities
We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value our warrant liabilities at each reporting period, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, most notably the estimated volatility of our common stock over the expected term. We use our historical common stock volatility to estimate expected volatility over the warrant terms. Management also made certain estimates regarding the likelihood and timing of certain future events for application of the Lattice Model for the valuation of certain warrants. Changes in these assumptions could have potential material impacts on the estimated fair value of warrant liabilities.
The following table presents our results of operations for the three months ended SeptemberMarch 30,31, 20252026 and 20242025 (in thousands, except percentages):

The increasedecrease in revenue was primarily driven by an increase in the volume of Enterprise Health device sales in the Americas region, mainly related to a multiple-device sale contract of EksoNR devices. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the volume of Enterprise Health device sales inacross the Americas, EMEA region.and APAC regions.
Gross profit increaseddecreased $0.3$0.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberMarch 30,31, 2025,2026, compared to the same period of 2024,2025, primarily driven by ana increasedecrease in revenues associatedof withour aEnterprise highHealth margin,devices multiple-deviceacross saleall of EksoNRour devicesgeographical coming from expiring subscription contracts.regions.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 25%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower payroll expense from the receipt of the Employee Retention Credit ("ERC") under the CARES Act, and lower discretionary payroll expense.
Research and development expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 29%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period of 2024, primarily due to lower payroll expense from the receipt of the ERC and lower headcount.
General and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 10%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period of 2024, primarily due to lower payroll expense from the receipt of the ERC, partially offset by higher legal costs.
Total Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest expense, net decreased 77% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period of 2024. This decrease is primarily related to lower interest expense related to the Parker Hannifin Promissory Note principal payments and interest income related to receiving late ERC payments, partially offset by interest expense related to the B. Riley Promissory Note amortization and lower interest income from cash deposits.
Gain on revaluation of warrant liabilities was de minimis for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and was associated with the revaluation of warrants issued in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Gains and losses on revaluation of warrants are primarily driven by changes in our stock price, stock price volatility, time to maturity and the risk-free interest rate.
Unrealized gain on foreign exchange for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was de minimis, compared to an unrealized gain on foreign exchange of $0.6 million for the same period of 2024. These unrealized gains and losses are primarily the result of foreign currency revaluations of our inter-company monetary assets and liabilities.
The following table presents our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except percentages):
Revenue decreased $3.2 million, or 25%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period of 2024. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in the volume of Enterprise Health device sales in the EMEA region, partially offset by an increase in the volume of Enterprise and Personal Health device sales in the Americas region.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit decreased $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period of 2024, driven by a decrease in revenues associated with our Enterprise Health devices, partially offset by an increase in revenues associated with our Personal Health device and reduction in service costs.
Gross margin increased to 54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a gross margin of 53% for the same period of 2024, primarily driven by lower device cost in relation to multiple-device sale of EksoNR devices coming from expiring subscription contracts and improved margins in service, partially offset by the impact of fixed cost of goods in relation to the decrease of Enterprise Health sales and an increase in shipping costs.
Operating Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses decreasedincreased $0.7$0.3 million, or 13%,20%, for the ninethree months ended SeptemberMarch 30,31, 2025,2026, compared to the same period of 2024.2025.

Interest expense, net decreasedincreased 27%99% for the ninethree months ended SeptemberMarch 30,31, 2025,2026, compared to the same period of 2024.2025. This decreaseincrease is primarily related to interest expense related to the B. Riley Promissory Note and lower interest income from lower cash deposits, partially offset by lower interest expense related to the Parker Hannifin Promissory Note principal payments and interest income related to receiving late ERC payments, partially offset by interest expense related to the B. Riley Promissory Note amortization and lower interest income from cash deposits.Note.
Loss on modification of warrant of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due to the reduction of the exercise price of the May 2019 Warrants, in connection with the January 2024 Offering. There was no comparable amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Loss on revaluation of warrant liabilities was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and was associated with the revaluation of warrants issued in 2026. Gain on revaluation of warrant liabilities was de minimis for the ninethree months ended SeptemberMarch 30,31, 2025 as compared to a gain on revaluation of warrant liabilities of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and was associated with the revaluation of warrants issued in 2019, 2020 and 2021.2025. Gains and losses on revaluation of warrants are primarily driven by changes in our stock price, stock price volatility, time to maturitymaturity, and the risk-free interest rate.
Finance cost associated with warrant issuance was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was related to the issuance costs of the January 2026 Private Placement Warrants in connection with the January 2026 Private Placement. There was no comparable amount for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Unrealized gainloss on foreign exchange for the ninethree months ended SeptemberMarch 30,31, 20252026 was $2.0$0.2 million, compared to an unrealized gain on foreign exchange of $0.2$0.6 million for the same period of 2024.2025. These unrealized gains and losses are primarily the result of foreign currency revaluations of our inter-company monetary assets and liabilities.
As of March 31, 2026, $4.0 million of cash was held domestically and by our foreign subsidiaries. Cash consisted of bank deposits with third-party financial institutions. On January 12, 2026, we entered into an irrevocable standby letter of credit (the "letter of credit"), established by our primary operating bank, in favor of our third-party contract manufacturer, as the beneficiary, in the aggregate amount of $250 thousand, effective January 12, 2026 and expiring on January 12, 2027, unless otherwise extended or terminated. The purpose of the letter of credit is to provide financial security to the third-party contract manufacturer for inventory procurement and manufacturing obligations. As the letter of credit requires us to maintain a corresponding cash deposit with our bank, as of March 31, 2026, $0.3 million of cash must remain as restricted. After considering cash restrictions, effective unrestricted cash as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $3.7 million.
As of September 30, 2025, $2.7 million of cash was held domestically and by our foreign subsidiaries. Cash consisted of bank deposits with third-party financial institutions. As described in Note 9. Notes Payable, net – BoC Term Loan in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, borrowings under our secured term loan agreement with Banc of California were subject to a liquidity covenant requiring minimum cash on hand equivalent to the current outstanding principal balance. On September 12, 2025, we paid off the entire amount of $2,000 of our secured term loan agreement to Banc of California using the $2,000 of restricted cash. As of September 30, 2025, no cash remains as restricted and the liquidity covenants under such loan agreement were no longer in effect.
As of SeptemberMarch 30,31, 2025,2026, we had working capital of $5.9$5.0 million, compared to working capital of $11.3$5.4 million as of December 31, 2024.2025. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to a lower cashaccounts receivable balance, lower accounts receivableinventory balance, and a higher convertibleaccounts promissory notepayable balance, partially offset by a higher inventory balance, higher prepaid expenses and other current assets balance, and a lower accrued liabilitiescash balance.
On January 22, 2026, we issued and sold (i) an aggregate of 5,852 shares of Series B Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 711,922 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock at an initial conversion price of $8.22 per share and (ii) the January 2026 Private Placement Warrants, which are exercisable to purchase up to an aggregate of 355,960 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $8.22 per share of common stock. We received net proceeds of approximately $5.3 million, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses paid by us. We are using the net proceeds from the January 2026 Private Placement for working capital and general corporate purposes. On January 22, 2026, in connection with the January 2026 Private Placement, we issued to Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC a warrant (the “January 2026 Placement Agent Warrant”) to purchase up to 14,238 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price equal to $8.22 per share.

On September 12, 2025, we entered into a Secured Promissory Note and Security Agreement (the “B. Riley Promissory Note”) with B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC ("B. Riley") as lender. The B. Riley Promissory Note provides for a secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,000. We are using the net proceeds from the B. Riley Promissory Note for working capital for operations and other general corporate purposes. The loan matures on the earlier of the receipt of at least $2,400 in net proceeds from the sale of the equity interests of the Company from new equity investors (a “Qualified Financing”) or September 14, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). Borrowings under the B. Riley Promissory Note bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, which shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, we shall pay to B. Riley an exit fee in the amount of 10% of the original principal amount of the loan, which shall in the aggregate be $200 (the “Exit Fee”). We may prepay the obligations under the B. Riley Promissory Note at any time in whole or in part. In connection with such prepayment, we must also pay all accrued but unpaid interest on such portion of the principal prepaid, all interest that would have accrued through the Maturity Date on such principal amount prepaid and the portion of the Exit Fee applicable to such principal amount prepaid. B. Riley may elect to convert the obligations under the B. Riley Promissory Note, including the principal, interest, and Exit Fee, into equity securities of the Company in connection with a Qualified Financing at the purchase price per share paid by the lead investor thereunder.
In October 2020, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the "ATM Agreement") with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the "Agent"), under which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, to or through the Agent. Offers and sales of shares of common stock by us through the Agent may be made by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined under SEC Rule 415 or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to certain conditions.
