Results of Operations and Financial Condition. On May 7, 2026, Koss Corporation issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. A copy of the Press Release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The information in this
Why it matters: Koss says acquisitions are part of a five-year plan to add steady revenue. No deal or added revenue has been reported in these updates.
Supportive ifKoss names an acquisition and reports that it adds recurring revenue.
Worry ifKoss reports no named acquisition or recurring revenue from a deal in its next annual results.
Why it matters: DTC made up about 37% of sales in the latest quarter. More growth could help offset weaker custom orders.
Supportive ifManagement reports DTC sales above 37% of total sales. DTC sales also grow year over year in the next quarter.
Worry ifDTC falls below 37% of sales or reports a year-over-year decline in the next quarter.
Why it matters: Sales fell 24% year over year, and Koss moved from a profit to a loss. Another drop would point to more pressure on results.
Worry ifQuarterly sales fall below $3.09 million, or the net loss exceeds $234,168.
Less concerning ifQuarterly sales reach at least $3.09 million and Koss reports a net profit.
Why it matters: Lower sales leave more plant costs spread across fewer products. Higher freight rates also cut into margins.
Worry ifGross margin falls below 39.5% in a later quarter, or stays below 40% as freight costs remain high.
Less concerning ifGross margin reaches at least 40% and management reports lower freight costs or less plant cost pressure.

Why it matters: The large Education order lifted last year's sales, but did not repeat this quarter. A new order could add sales beyond DTC and distributors.
Supportive ifKoss reports a new custom order for Education. Quarterly sales are above $3.1 million year over year.
Worry ifNo new custom order for Education is reported. Quarterly sales stay below $3.1 million year over year.
