Despite some positive developments, the overall sentiment is negative due to declining revenues in key segments, increased net losses, and unresolved margin pressures. The Q&A session highlights ongoing challenges and uncertainties, particularly in manufacturing and government projects. While there are improvements in the Smart Water segment, they are overshadowed by broader financial weaknesses and missed guidance. The lack of clear guidance and delayed projects further contribute to a negative outlook for the stock price in the short term.
Revenue for Q4 FY2025 $30.7 million, a decrease from $35.4 million in Q4 FY2024 (down 13%). The decline was attributed to lower utilization and sales of marine ocean bottom nodes in the Energy Solutions segment.
Net Loss for Q4 FY2025 $9.1 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to $12.9 million, or $1 per diluted share, in Q4 FY2024. The improvement in net loss was due to cost management and strategic wins despite revenue declines.
Revenue for FY2025 $110.8 million, a decrease from $135.6 million in FY2024 (down 18%). The decline was driven by reduced revenue in the Energy Solutions segment due to lower utilization and sales of marine ocean bottom nodes.
