Richtech Robotics (RR) experienced a sharp decline of 10% to 12% in Friday’s premarket session after announcing the necessity to restate previously reported financial results spanning multiple accounting periods.

The announcement emerged through a regulatory filing submitted to the SEC on June 9, 2026, where Richtech’s Audit Committee concluded that earlier published financial statements should no longer be considered reliable.
The discrepancies came to light when CBIZ CPAs P.C., serving as the company’s newly appointed independent auditing firm, conducted its examination of the financial results for the quarter concluding March 31, 2026.
The auditors identified three primary areas of concern. The company improperly recorded liability associated with warrant issuances during the fiscal periods ending September 2024 and September 2025. Additionally, errors emerged in the accounting treatment of its Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. Finally, mistakes were discovered in how the company accounted for restricted stock awards granted in December 2025.
CBIZ further indicated that any investor communications, earnings announcements, or press materials connected to the affected periods should be disregarded.
Scope of Financial Restatements
Richtech intends to submit an amended Annual Report using Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year that concluded on September 30, 2025. Additionally, the company will file revised quarterly reports for the periods ending December 31, 2024, March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2025.
According to the company’s statement, the restatements are anticipated to “primarily involve non-cash accounting adjustments” without impacting its available cash, cash flows from operations, or regular business activities.
Nevertheless, Richtech acknowledged ongoing investigations into additional potential discrepancies. Should these prove inaccurate, the necessary corrections “could be material,” according to the disclosure.
Internal Control Deficiency Remains Unaddressed
Compounding investor anxiety, Richtech revealed that a previously reported material weakness in its internal control framework as of September 30, 2025 remains unresolved — contradicting earlier statements in a quarterly filing claiming the issue had been corrected.
“We indicated in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, that the material weakness that was reported at September 30, 2025, was remediated. This material weakness has not been remediated,” Richtech stated in the filing.
The organization now anticipates disclosing an additional material weakness concerning financial instruments. Final determinations from the continuing assessment will be included in the upcoming Form 10-K/A.
Richtech further warned that conclusions regarding other potential error categories remain incomplete, suggesting the possibility of further adjustments ahead.
As of Friday morning’s premarket trading, the stock showed losses of roughly 10%.
