The earnings call revealed a mix of positive and negative elements. While there are promising opportunities with the U.S. Army and potential revenue growth in the second half, the current financial performance shows a GAAP net loss, increased operating expenses, and a decline in consolidated revenue. The Q&A highlighted uncertainties and delays due to government budget issues. The lack of a share buyback program and increased losses also contribute to a negative sentiment. Overall, these factors suggest a likely negative stock price movement in the near term.
Consolidated Revenue $12.3 million, a 3.1% decrease year-over-year due to approximately $330,000 lower OSS segment revenue and $66,000 lower Bressner segment revenue.
Consolidated Gross Margin 32.6%, an increase of 320 basis points year-over-year from 29.4%, driven by a more profitable mix of revenue in the OSS segment.
OSS Segment Gross Margin 45.5%, up from 34.2% year-over-year, primarily due to a larger volume of higher-margin products shipped and a $212,000 reduction in inventory reserves.
Bressner Segment Gross Margin 23.1%, a decrease of 260 basis points year-over-year, primarily due to product mix.
Operating Expenses $5.9 million, a 19.2% increase year-over-year, attributed to higher marketing and selling costs and increased research and development costs.
GAAP Net Loss $2 million or $0.09 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million or $0.06 per share in the prior year quarter.
Non-GAAP Net Loss $1.4 million or $0.07 per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $931,000 or $0.04 per share in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA Loss of $1.1 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of about $500,000 in the prior year first quarter.

Cash Used in Operating Activities $1.1 million, compared to operating cash flow of $2 million for the same period last year, primarily due to the timing of working capital.
