Elauwit Connection, Inc. Delivers Largest Quarter-Over-Quarter and Year-Over-Year Increase in Contracted Units in Company History with 16% Sequential and 33% Annual Growth

Activated Units Increased 94%, Billed Units Increased 163 % Year-Over-Year

Progress Reflects 37 Properties and more than 10,000 New Units Signed Year-to-Date

10 New Properties Signed as Growth Continues in Third Quarter

COLUMBIA, SC, August 18, 2026 – Elauwit Connection, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELWT) ("Elauwit," the "Company," “we,” or “our”), a national managed services provider of turnkey broadband and property-wide WiFi networks serving multifamily, student housing, and senior living communities, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“The second quarter of 2026 was Elauwit’s best-ever quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increase in contracted units, signing almost 5,900 units across 21 properties in 10 states and the District of Columbia. These wins will drive significant construction activity in the second half of 2026 and a substantial expansion of our recurring service revenue under long-lived contracts as they come online later this year and throughout 2027. Year-to-date, we have signed more than 10,000 units, and the momentum continues into the September quarter with already multiple new property awards,” said Dan McDonough, Executive Chairman.

“This growth demonstrates that our sales focus on large, multi-property operators can generate significant repeat awards across an owner’s portfolio. For example, we recently announced major wins with two large REIT owners, contracting more than 4,100 units across 14 properties and five states. These two operators plan to roll out managed services across their portfolios, which include hundreds of thousands of units of additional opportunity, and our sales pipeline has a number of similarly sized opportunities.

“Given this confirmation that large portfolios are rapidly converting properties to managed services, we are sharpening our sales focus on key markets where we have higher density. This also enables increased attention to smaller and middle-tier property owners in those markets for our Network-as-a-Service (“NaaS”) product while doing so with greater operating efficiency.

“In summary, the well-documented message that choosing Elauwit’s managed services solutions can secure increased revenue, higher valuations, and more satisfied residents is resonating with owners and driving deals to closing, affirming our position that contracted units are the most important KPI in our business and best indicator or our future performance. We now have almost 43,000 units under contract and expect to exceed 50,000 units under contract before year end, achieving what would be a more than 46% annualized increase in contracted units for 2026. These wins will drive both construction revenue and long-term recurring service revenue as we seek to build a robust and durable business at Elauwit.”

Elauwit generates revenue in three contracted stages from each property win: first, upfront construction revenue and margin from the installation project, which is variable quarter to quarter; second, predictable and steady services revenue growth over the first year of its multi-year agreements as it converts installed units to billed units; and finally, multiple years of expected stable, recurring service revenue from a long-term managed services agreement.

To support its growth, the Company continues to invest in new enterprise resource planning and inventory platforms to drive greater visibility and cost control across its business. Elauwit anticipates the first operating cost and margin benefits of these investments will begin to show in the third and fourth quarters of this year, as it focuses on increased cost-efficiency.

Financial and Operating Highlights (unaudited)

¹ Adjusted earnings before interest (income) expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is not a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this earnings release for a discussion of this non-GAAP measure and the schedules attached to this earnings release for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss.

“The change in quarterly revenue reflected the timing of large construction projects to install networks into contracted properties, which are variable and weighted to the second half during 2026,” said James Di Bartolo, Chief Financial Officer. “Our continued contracting activity is driving new projects that will generate both increased construction activity and growing revenue from billed units as we progress through the year, keeping us on track to achieve our targeted performance metrics. Additionally, we anticipate beginning to see the benefit of our cost efficiency initiatives in the second half of the year as we work to optimize our profitability as we scale the business.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to net loss, which is a U.S. GAAP measure, Elauwit presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes the presentation of adjusted EBITDA, reflecting non-GAAP adjustments, provides important supplemental information to investors and other users of its financial statements in evaluating the operating results of the Company. In particular, by excluding expenses that are not directly related to its operating performance, Elauwit is able to present a view of its underlying business that the management team uses to analyze its historical performance and plan for its future performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by management and the Board of Directors to assess the Company’s financial and operating performance. This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for net loss determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Key Performance Indicators

Elauwit uses the following key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations: recurring service revenue, contracted units, activated units, billed units and backlog. The Company’s recurring service revenue, contracted units, activated units, billed units and backlog are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Elauwit defines recurring service revenue as the monthly recurring service revenue initiated by network activation under our long-term service agreements. Management believes that the Company’s ability to retain and expand revenue from existing customers is an indicator of the long-term value of its customer relationships and potential future business opportunities.

Elauwit defines contracted units as the total number of individual units waiting to be built or in the process of being installed across the properties using its networks. Management believes this metric is useful to investors because it illustrates the total number of units the Company will serve once the construction process is complete.

Elauwit defines activated units as the total number of individual units that are fully installed and on, but not yet necessarily collecting full recurring service revenue due to onboarding process, across the properties using its networks. Management believes this metric is useful for investors because it illustrates the total number of individual units the Company will collect revenue on once the onboarding process is complete, and can be tracked over time to show the reach of its networks.

Elauwit defines billed units as the total number of individual units that it is currently collecting revenue on across the properties using its networks. Management believes this metric is useful to investors because it illustrates the total number of individual units the Company collects revenue on and can be tracked over time to show the reach of its networks. Management believes it is more useful to compare total billed units as opposed to total customers or total subscribers because the Company’s revenue is more closely tied to the number of units it serves than the total number of customers or subscribers.

Backlog is defined as the aggregate amount of a contract price allocated to remaining performance obligations. Total backlog can include network design and installation performance obligations and internet network services and hardware and internet services performance obligations. Management believes tracking backlog is useful to investors because it illustrates the remaining performance obligations under our contracts and the revenue we expect to recognize in the future.
