## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Optex Systems Holdings Announces Fiscal Q2 2026 Financial Results**

RICHARDSON, Texas, May 11, 2026 – Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPXS), a manufacturer of precision optical sighting systems for military and commercial applications, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended March 29, 2026.

Chad George, CEO of Optex Systems Holdings, Inc., commented: "Optex remains on track to deliver one of the strongest revenue years in the Company's history, while continuing to improve gross margins through operational efficiencies and disciplined cost management. We believe increased investment in research and development positions the Company for long-term growth and stronger profitability moving forward."

**Three and Six-month Fiscal 2026 Highlights**

● Revenue for the quarter was $9.6 million compared to $10.7 million in the prior year period

● Six-month revenue totaled $18.8 million, relatively flat compared to the prior year

● Three-month gross margin improved to 35.2% compared to 31.3% last year

● Quarterly net income was $1.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share last year

● Quarterly adjusted EBITDA was $2.0 million compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period

● New orders increased 3.8% year over year to $16.3 million for the first six months

● Working capital increased to $22.6 million

● Cash balance totaled $4.2 million with no outstanding debt under the Company's revolving credit facility

The Company's first-half revenue was impacted by the federal government shutdown and delayed approval of the fiscal 2026 appropriations bill, which postponed several contract awards into the second half of the fiscal year.

Despite the lower revenue, gross profit and gross margins improved due to the completion of legacy loss-making contracts, improved pricing on newer programs, and operational efficiencies across both operating segments.

Operating expenses increased primarily due to leadership transition costs, stock compensation expense, higher research and development spending and investments related to CMMC compliance and internal systems upgrades.

**Fiscal 2026 Outlook** 

Based on current funded backlog and anticipated contract awards, the Company expects stronger revenue performance during the second half of fiscal 2026, with full-year revenue anticipated to range between $43 million and $45 million compared to $41.3 million during fiscal 2025.

In addition, the Company expects full-year fiscal 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to range between $7.5 million and $8.5 million compared to $8.0 million in fiscal 2025.

During the first six months of fiscal 2026, the Company invested approximately $0.8 million in capital equipment and has an additional $1.1 million in committed capital expenditures focused on expanding manufacturing capacity, supporting new product lines, and enhancing rapid prototyping and research capabilities.

Our key performance measures for the three and six months ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025 are summarized below.
