medium-volume production can look like,&#148; noted Greg Woods, CEO of AstroNova. &#147;We&#146;ve designed these machines to give converters and PSPs the edge they need: more control, more uptime, and significantly lower operating costs. Because of
the flexibility of our new print engine system there is greater commonality of components across our products enabling further flexibility for support and future upgrades that addresses inventory requirements for the users and
ourselves.&#148;</P></TD>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Woods added, &#147;We have made excellent progress with the turnaround and integration of MTEX which
provided the technology that enabled these product launches. We have expanded the sales team representing this disruptive technology from just the few that MTEX had to 40 sales personnel through our cross-training program. We have also expanded the
distributor network employing the AstroNova <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">go-to-market</FONT></FONT> strategy. The expansion of our market reach has measurably improved the Product Identification (&#147;PI&#148;)
segment&#146;s order rates, quickly getting the MTEX acquisition&#146;s orders up near the run rate that was expected when it was acquired.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">AstroNova also announced personnel changes that eliminated a number of former MTEX positions while also streamlining its own executive leadership team. The
streamlining was a part of the previously announced restructuring that is expected to result in $3&nbsp;million in annualized costs savings which will begin to be realized later in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, excluding restructuring costs.
Direct reports to the CEO are now down from ten to a more manageable span of seven. The restructuring of the leadership team has also enabled greater accountability through a more simplified organization. MTEX management is now fully integrated into
the PI leadership team. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Woods concluded, &#147;We have been rapidly making change at AstroNova to improve our financial performance. Simplifying
the executive team enables improved communication, clearer lines of accountability and faster decision making. We expect this will continue to be demonstrated as we move through fiscal 2026.&#148; </P>
