BROOKINGS, S.D., Sept. 2, 2026 – Daktronics, Inc. (NASDAQ: DAKT) (“Daktronics” or the “Company”), a recognized industry leader in digital display and control system technology, today reported results for its fiscal 2027 first quarter, ended August 1, 2026. The first quarter of fiscal 2027 reflects a 13-week reporting period, compared with a 14-week reporting period in the prior-year first quarter.

Fiscal 2027 Q1 Financial Highlights:

•Sales of $234.6 million, 7.1% growth from $219.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, despite one less week

•Operating income of $24.9 million, 7.2% growth from $23.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, operating margin of 10.6%

•Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.40, up 21.2% from $0.33 in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, representing the highest quarterly diluted EPS in the past 12 quarters

•Operating cash flow of $31.4 million, compared to $26.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, resulting in period-end cash balance of $154.6 million net of $4.4 million share repurchases

•New orders(1) for products and services of $191.8 million, compared to $238.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, reflecting the timing of a few substantial orders expected to be booked in the second quarter of fiscal 2027

•Product backlog(1) of $311.3 million for the quarter, compared to $360.3 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026, marking the sixth consecutive quarter-end with product backlog(1) exceeding $300 million

Ramesh Jayaraman, Daktronics’ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Fiscal 2027 began on a strong note as we continued to drive momentum in sales, operating income, and EPS, maintaining our focus on executing the growth and operational excellence initiatives laid out in our long-term plan. During Q1, we continued to advance our strategic priorities, strengthen customer engagement across our core markets, and build upon a healthy sales pipeline. We delivered 21.2 percent year-over-year increase in EPS on 7.1 percent sales growth and operating margin of 10.6 percent, reflecting the ongoing, successful execution of our planned business growth and operational excellence initiatives.”

Tracking to Three-Year Plan

The Company continued to execute across its growth, operational excellence, and capital deployment pillars in support of its fiscal 2028 targets. Progress during the quarter included the following strategic initiatives.

Growth. Core markets and the sales pipeline remained strong during the quarter. The Company advanced targeted vertical market expansion initiatives and invested in software and service offerings that enhance customer value and support recurring revenue growth. A diversified product backlog(1) of $311.3 million reflects continued demand across key business segments.

(1) Orders and backlog metrics are operating measures not defined by GAAP, and our methodology for determining orders and backlog may vary from the methodology used by other companies in determining their orders and backlog amounts. For more information related to backlog, see Part I, Item 1. “Business” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 2, 2026.

Operational Excellence. Manufacturing and supply chain initiatives improved efficiency, increased flexibility, and supported long-term margin expansion. Key initiatives included the ramp-up of manufacturing operations in Mexico, procurement optimization efforts, automation investments, and ongoing lean simplification initiatives across the supply chain.

Capital Deployment. Capital allocation remained focused on long-term value creation through investments in plant network improvements and automation designed to enhance operational efficiency and support future growth. The Company also continued returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases, including $4.4 million executed during the first quarter.

“Supported by the execution of our strategic initiatives, our pipeline remains robust. At the same time, our operational improvements are making us leaner and smarter every quarter,” said Mr. Jayaraman. “We also continue to evaluate acquisition and disciplined capital deployment opportunities in complementary products/solutions, verticals, and geographies that can enhance our organic growth strategy. We are tracking well toward our fiscal 2028 targets of 7-10% revenue CAGR, 10-12% operating margin, and 17-20% ROIC. None of this would be possible without the trust of our customers and the dedication of our team, and I am grateful for both.”
