Richtech Robotics Inc. said its Audit Committee concluded previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon and will be restated, prompting a 12% premarket decline in the company's shares. The restatement stems from errors tied to warrants, a standby equity purchase agreement, and restricted stock awards; the company says adjustments are expected to be primarily non-cash but is continuing to evaluate other potential errors.

Key Points

  • Richtech's Audit Committee concluded that previously issued financial statements should not be relied upon and require restatement.
  • Errors involve accounting for warrants (fiscal years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024), the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd., and restricted stock awards issued in December 2025.
  • The company plans amended filings for audited years 2024 and 2025 and for quarterly unaudited periods in late 2024 and 2025; it expects primarily non-cash adjustments and does not currently expect an impact on cash or operations.

Richtech Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ: RR) shares slid 12% in premarket trading on Friday after the company disclosed that it will restate previously issued financial statements for several reporting periods because of accounting errors identified by its new auditor.

The Nevada-based robotics firm said on June 9, 2026, that its Audit Committee determined that certain historical financial statements should not be relied upon and must be amended. The company tied the planned restatement to errors in the accounting for warrants issued during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024; to errors connected with its Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd.; and to mistakes in accounting for restricted stock awards granted in December 2025.

Richtech said the need for restatement surfaced while its new independent registered public accounting firm, CBIZ CPAs P.C., conducted a review of the company’s financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The company plans to file an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A to restate the audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

In addition to the audited years, the company intends to revise unaudited financial information for several quarterly periods: December 31, 2024; March 31, 2025; June 30, 2025; and December 31, 2025. Those adjustments, Richtech said, will primarily reflect non-cash accounting entries.

Richtech indicated it does not currently expect the restatement to affect its cash position, operating cash flows or business operations. At the same time, the company cautioned that it is evaluating other areas of its accounting and that, if additional errors are identified, required adjustments could be material.

The company previously disclosed a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2025. In the current disclosure, Richtech said it now expects to report an additional material weakness related to financial instruments. The company also acknowledged that a material weakness reported at September 30, 2025 - one it had said was remediated in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 - has not in fact been remediated.

Investors reacted to the disclosure with the premarket pullback noted above. The company has outlined the periods and accounting areas it will address but is continuing its review, and any further findings could expand the scope or magnitude of adjustments.

Richtech plans to work with its auditors and to file the amended reports required to correct the affected periods. The company’s announcements identified the accounting categories at issue and the specific reporting periods to be restated, while cautioning that further review may reveal additional matters requiring adjustment.


Next steps
  • Richtech will file amended audited and unaudited financial statements for the periods specified.
  • The company is completing a broader evaluation of its accounting across other areas and coordinating with its independent auditor.

Risks

  • Potential for material adjustments if the company finds additional accounting errors while reviewing other areas - this affects financial reporting reliability and could influence investor confidence.
  • Existing and newly identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including one related to financial instruments, may prolong remediation efforts and increase regulatory or audit scrutiny.
