Engagement of BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA Securities”)

The Company today announced that its Board of Directors has initiated a formal strategic review of the Casino and Gaming business. Management has engaged BofA Securities as its financial advisor given their expertise within the Casino and Gaming market and their long-standing relationship with TransAct. The Company believes that exploring potential options within Casino and Gaming, given the current strength within this market, is in the best interests of stockholders as they look to maximize value. While the review is focused on the Casino and Gaming business, the Board intends to evaluate a broader range of strategic alternatives to the extent the Board determines that doing so may further enhance stockholder value.

The Company has not set a timetable for the review, and there can be no assurance that the review will result in any transaction or other strategic outcome. The Company does not intend to disclose developments until its Board of Directors has approved a specific transaction or course of action or otherwise determines that disclosure is appropriate or required.

2026 Financial Outlook*

• Net Sales: The Company expects full year 2026 net sales of between $55 million and $57 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA: The Company now expects full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA to be between $1.5 million and $2.0 million.

*Our outlook for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is presented only on a non-GAAP basis as not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is available without unreasonable effort, primarily due to uncertainties relating to the occurrence or amount of the adjustments that may arise in the future. If one or more of the currently unavailable items is applicable, some items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to GAAP reported results.

** Net (Loss) Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA include a $0.4 million reduction related to the tariff surcharge refunds. See below for descriptions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

TransAct is providing certain non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that these measures are helpful to investors and others in assessing the ongoing nature of what the Company’s management views as TransAct’s core operations. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide the Company with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide relevant and useful information to an investor evaluating the Company’s operating performance because these measures are: (i) widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items that do not reflect the Company’s ongoing operations and are excluded from the calculation of such measures; (ii) used as financial measurements by lenders and other parties to evaluate creditworthiness; and (iii) used by the Company’s management for various purposes including strategic planning and forecasting and assessing financial performance. The Company also presents the changes in net sales and Casino and gaming net sales excluding customer tariff surcharge refunds because it believes these measures provide the Company with visibility into the sales performance for the period by excluding the refunds, which the Company believes are not reflective of ongoing operations. The presentation of this non-GAAP information is not considered superior to or a substitute for, and should be read in conjunction with, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before net interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found attached to this release.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income before net interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization and is adjusted for (1) share-based compensation expense and (2) any other items, when they occur, that we believe do not reflect the ordinary earnings of the Company’s ongoing business. The Company adjusts EBITDA for share-based compensation because the Company considers share-based compensation expense to be a non-cash expense similar to depreciation and amortization. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found attached to this release.
