AstroNova, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Results
AstroNova, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies, has announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, ending on November 2, 2024. The company has experienced notable revenue growth, driven by its Test & Measurement segment despite challenges in its Product Identification segment.
Key Financial Metrics
| Metric | Q3 FY 2025 | Q3 FY 2024 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $40.4M | Not provided | Not provided |
| GAAP Net Income per Diluted Share | $0.03 | Not provided | Not provided |
| Non-GAAP Net Income per Diluted Share | $0.06 | Not provided | Not provided |

| Adjusted EBITDA | $3.2M | $5.7M | (43.9%) |
Interpretation: AstroNova has successfully increased its consolidated net revenue by nearly 8% year-over-year. However, the decline in adjusted EBITDA from $5.7 million in Q3 FY 2024 to $3.2 million in Q3 FY 2025 highlights increased operating expenses, particularly due to integration challenges with MTEX NS within the Product Identification segment.
Revenue Performance by Segment
| Segment | Q3 FY 2025 Revenue | Q3 FY 2024 Revenue | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product Identification | $26.3M | $26.5M | (0.8%) |
| Test & Measurement | $14.1M | $11.0M | 28.2% |
Interpretation: The Test & Measurement segment showed robust performance with a significant revenue increase of 28.2%, driven by strong demand for aerospace products. The Product Identification segment faced challenges due to the delayed release of a new inkjet printer and lower sales volume in Europe, slightly offset by revenue from MTEX NS.
Key Developments and Operational Highlights
- Ongoing integration challenges with recently acquired MTEX NS affected margins and results.
- Successful completion of a total realignment of MTEX's organizational reporting structure.
- Initiated an AstroNova-wide cost reduction and product line rationalization initiative.
- Anticipate incorporating MTEX technology into most products and retrofitting it into several models.
CEO Commentary
CEO Greg Woods remarked that the third-quarter performance was below expectations, mainly due to the MTEX integration and a customer's delayed order launch. Although the integration is proving resource-intensive, measures such as realignment and cost reduction initiatives are in place to enhance future performance. AstroNova remains optimistic about the strategic benefits of MTEX's technology and its potential to improve competitiveness.
Forward Guidance and Dividend Information
AstroNova has withdrawn its financial guidance for fiscal 2025 and 2026 due to the extended integration timeline for MTEX. No dividend announcements or share repurchase programs were mentioned.
AstroNova is progressing with strategic initiatives designed to bolster its long-term competitiveness while navigating the immediate challenges posed by its recent acquisition.
