Thank you, Mike, and thank you all for joining us today.

The second quarter of 2026 was another solid quarter for Leatt, despite some temporary supply chain timing challenges that have since been fully cleared.

Global consumer demand for our innovative products remains strong, and has still drove our sell-through and reordering patterns.

International and domestic sales continue to show promising trends and encouraging traction at the consumer and dealer level.

Total global revenues for the quarter was $16.39 million, only a slight increase over last year due to supply chain timing issues. But second quarter numbers don't reflect the momentum that we are achieving.

U.S. revenues grew by about 11% to $6.15 million. Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius C.A. Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson

Total global revenues were up by $4.35 million, or 14%, to $35.9 million.

Net income was $2.68 million, an improvement of $420,000, or 19%, compared to the first six months of 2025. And consumer direct sales increased by 61%. Cash increased by $6.29 million to $19.53 million. with cash flows provided by operations of $7.44 million for the first six months of 2026. Our current ratio as of June 30th, 2026 was 7.421 and we believe we have sufficiently strong liquidity to fuel future growth. We are continuing our previously announced board authorized share repurchase program of up to $750,000 of outstanding Leatt common stock.

We believe that this demonstrates our continued confidence in the strength of the company and our business plan, as well as our commitment to enhance long-term shareholder value.

Now I will turn to more details on sales of our product categories for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. Sales of our flagship neck brace, designed to prevent potentially devastating sports injuries to the cervical spine, worth $542,000, a 23% decrease.

Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Our other products, parts and accessories category is comprised of goggles, hydration bags, apparel, sunglasses and bicycle components. Other products, parts and accessories sales were $3.54 million, a 13% decrease due primarily to a 20% decrease In revenues from sales of MTB, ADV and motor apparel.

It was partially offset by a 16% increase in revenues from the sale of bicycle components. Other products, parts and accessories represented 22% of our revenues for the second quarter. Now I will turn to our financial results in a bit more detail. Revenues for the quarter ended June 30th, 2026 were $16.39 million, a 1% increase compared to $16.18 million for the quarter ended June 30th, 2025. This increase in worldwide revenues is attributable to a $462,000 increase in body armor sales and a $444,000 increase in helmet sales that were partially offset by a $550,000 decrease in other product parts and accessory sales and a $162,000 decrease in necrocells.

Net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $909,000 or 15 cents per basic and 14 cents per diluted chair by 20% as compared to $1.14 million or 18 cents per basic and 18 cents per diluted chair for the second quarter of 2025. Revenues for the six months ended June 30th, 2026 with $35.9 million, a 14% increase compared to $31.54 million for the six months ended June 30th, 2025. This increase in worldwide revenue is attributable to a $2.18 million increase in body armor cells and a $2.43 million increase in helmet cells that were partially offset by a $151,000 decrease in Other products, parts and accessories sales and $111,000 decrease in net price sales. Net income after taxes for the six-month period ended June 5th, 2026 was $2.68 million, an increase of 19% when compared to net income after taxes of $2.26 million for the six-month period ended June 30th, 2035.

Leatt continued to meet its working capital needs from cash on hand and internally generated cash flows From Operations, and at June 30th, 2026, company at cash and cash equivalents of $19.53 million. Turning to recent news, just after the courts have closed, we announced the partnership with Carter Systems, global leader in motorcycle communication systems, to integrate their wireless real-time mesh communication system into our innovative motor 8.5 helmets.

We see this as another example of the expertise and competency of our design and engineering team.

Our goal is always to be on the cutting edge of industry innovation. And when it's mutually beneficial, collaborate with leading partners in our industry. We look forward to releasing our integrated helmets offering in the second half of the year.

And in product category expansion use, we have developed an exciting range of bike care products through the establishment and acquisition of bike care technologies.

A Polish entity that will develop distributed market premium bike care products around the world. We expect sales to start to falter through to revenues during the third quarter of 2026 when we launch this new exciting venture. Looking forward, while there are some potential headwinds globally, participation in consumer demand for our products around the world remains strong. Ordering patterns fueled by sell-through remain robust and very encouraging. Thank you very much. Thank you. If you would like to ask a question, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad.

Once again, that is star one to ask a question. Our first question comes from Chris Mueller, private investor. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Chris Mueller, Private Investor Hi, Sean. Hope you're doing well today. Just a few questions, if I may.

Hi, Chris. Thanks a lot.

First, regarding the supply chain issue, was there any material revenue lost as a result of this, or should essentially all of it shift into Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius

The stock shipped at the beginning of Q3. It already has shipped. It's all cleared out. So we absolutely have not lost any revenue. Just means that Q3 got off to a hot blazing start. So it's good news for Q3.

All right. And regarding the Carto Venture announcement, this is obviously very exciting from a product development perspective. Could you maybe speak to how Leatt participates economically in that partnership and maybe what that opportunity can look like going forward?

Absolutely. I mean, I think this is going to be, you know, we're going to be earning our revenues here, you know, due to the sales that we make of Carto Venture, homeless to Carto. So those are Leatt helmets that have got Carter technology built in. And of course we'll be making a strong margin on those products. And I think it's economic in terms of the margin, but it's also a very good collaboration in terms of the two leaders in the industry in terms of communication and in terms of protection and helmet technology working together. So there's of course a brand building element to it. But we'll be earning margin on the products that we sell to Cordo. You know, they've got a distribution network that is slightly different to ours, so there's additional customers that they can reach.

All right, great. Regarding the acquisition of bike care technologies, could you maybe speak to the scale of investment here, aside from the nominal purchase price disclosed in the filing? Is this going to be a subsidiary funded exclusively by Leatt and just flowing through the OPEX or is this a partnership with your Polish distributor or some other entity?

This is going to be 100% funded by Leatt. Just looking at the revenues in terms of pre-orders that we already have, I don't expect that there's going to be any significant funding that's going to be needed by Leatt in the long term. This is going to be pretty much self-funded through BiCare as soon as things get moving. But 100% owned subsidiary by Leatt. Of course, it's based in Poland because we manufacture these products in Poland and then we distribute around the world. So I don't think this is going to mean that we're going to have significant OPEX investments in this entity. Of course, it is a consumable type of product that we are going to be selling, so there will be some investment in inventory in order to make sure that we have the product available to sell. But we're really excited about it, and the response so far from our global distribution and dealer network has been well beyond what we expected.

Great. That sounds great. And last for me, I believe many in the industry recognized their tariff refunds in Q2. I didn't see any mention of this in the filing. Are you expecting any kind of meaningful refund of tariff state last year?

Yes, we are expecting to get some tariff refunds in, and I think I'll talk to that in Q3.

Okay, great. Well, thanks for the time, Sean. Chat soon.

Thanks a lot. Chat soon.

Thank you for your question. Our next question comes from Olivier Colombo, private investor. Please go ahead, your line is open.

Olivier Colombo Yes, hello Sean.

Hi Olivier, how are you?

Fine, thank you. I really appreciate what you mentioned and answered the questions of Chris and actually those were the three that I had as well but I would like to maybe go a bit further on that. But before that, I would like to actually congratulate you on the quarter, even though it was up only 1%. But just to remind investors and potential listeners here on the call that last year your Q2 was up 60%, and I think what you achieved today is quite remarkable. What I like also the most is your cash position, 19.5% at this level is very appealing to grow the brand. My first question is regarding the supply chain issue that you faced in motor shipments. Can you tell us a bit more about those issues and how they came?

Yes, absolutely, no problem. I think it's a good question. They really do relate to some of the geopolitical things that we've been seeing going on around the world at the moment. Nothing to do with our production, nothing to do with our manufacturing, And nothing to do with our planning. So there was a bit of a container shortage that was reported to us by our shipping companies. You know, on a global basis, some of the shipping lines have had to change because of some of the blockages that we've seen in a few different areas. And the result of that has taken a bit longer for shipping containers to get back from the destination back into Asia. And because of that, there was Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson and we took a decision that we would hold the shipments over and ship them as planned via sea when the containers became available, which happened to be in the first few weeks of Q3.

Okay, that's perfect. Thank you very much. And to add on Chris's questions regarding CardioSystem, is this an exclusive deal that you have with them or then could other helmet manufacturers do the same?

I think it's also a good question, and of course we're very excited about the agreement and the deal that we have with them. I think there's some elements of the agreement that are relatively confidential, but what I can say, Olivier, is that we have a very strong relationship with Carter Systems. It takes a lot to jointly develop a helmet, there's an investment in tooling, there's an investment in terms of Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson Michael Mason, Lara-Jane Pretorius, Erik Olsson

Thank you for your question. At this time, there are no further questions in the queue. I would now like to turn our meeting back to Sean MacDonald for closing remarks.

Thank you all for joining the call today. I look forward to meeting again to discuss the results of Q3.

Thank you at this time. This is the end of our call. Thank you for your attention and your participation today. Please disconnect.
