Further diversified revenue applications for Serve s autonomous robot fleet with new delivery partnership with NoScrubs Laundry in addition to existing food, healthcare, and grocery delivery operations. Improved gross margin over prior quarter, as the mix of higher-margin recurring revenue jumped to over 50% of all revenues Ended Q2 with over $240 million in cash and marketable securities, reflecting strong balance sheet and operational flexibility. SAN FRANCISCO, August 6, 2026 -- Serve Robotics Inc. (the Company or Serve ) (Nasdaq SERV), a leading autonomy and robotics company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Serve is driving innovation in last-mile delivery as our scaled robot fleet is powering deliveries across multiple verticals, said Dr. Ali Kashani, Serve s Co-founder and CEO. Our leadership in autonomy and commercial deployment has created advantages that compound with scale, enabling unique partnerships, more diversified revenue streams, and new monetization opportunities, all while maintaining a disciplined approach to growth. Our updated outlook reflects a deliberate decision to concentrate our fleet and capital behind the highest-return opportunities, said Brian Read, Chief Financial Officer of Serve. By lowering our expected operating expenses while maintaining one of the strongest balance sheets in our sector, we have the flexibility to continue expanding our autonomous network, investing in our technology platform, and driving sustainable long-term growth. Business and Financial Highlights Revenue Diversification advertising made up nearly 50% of food delivery revenue in Q2, and recurring revenue made up over 50% of total revenues in Q2. Healthcare Progress delivered steady revenue in Q2 in line with expectations and signed 7 multiyear contract extensions with our hospital customers and added 2 new hospitals in 1H 2026, demonstrating continued customer demand for our healthcare automation platform. Delivery Partner Acceleration revenue derived from our DoorDash partnership grew nearly 50% sequentially and exceeded our expectations. Revenue Growth Revenue of $3.2 million, increasing 9% sequentially and 404% year-over-year. Balance Sheet Maintained a strong liquidity position of $240.4 million as of June 30, 2026. Outstanding Shares Approximately 86 million shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2026. Outlook The Company revised its full year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $9 million to $10 million. The revision reflects lower than expected delivery volume through the Company s Uber Eats partnership, including a decline reflected in Q2 results and the removal of projected demand in the second half of 2026. Improved FY2026 Non-GAAP operating expense of $140 to $150 million, down from $160 to $170 million previously.Supplemental Financial InformationThe key metrics and financial tables outlined below are metrics that provide management with additional understanding of the drivers of business performance and the Company s ability to deliver stockholder return.
