The earnings call reveals record-high quarterly revenue and a significant increase in production revenue, despite a decline in gross margin. The Q&A section confirms conservative but optimistic guidance, with expectations of improved gross margins and a well-prepared pipeline. Management's clear responses and strategic focus on production and engineering projects suggest a positive outlook. The stock price is likely to react positively, with potential gains of 2% to 8% over the next two weeks.
Quarterly Revenue $6.2 million in Q4 FY2025, the highest in the company's history, compared to $4.7 million in Q4 FY2024. This represents a year-over-year increase of approximately 32%. The increase was driven by the transition of two major programs from development to production.
Annual Revenue $19.1 million for FY2025, flat compared to FY2024. The flat growth masks a transformation from an engineering-focused business to a manufacturing enterprise.
Production Revenue $5.1 million in Q4 FY2025, compared to $2.8 million in Q4 FY2024, an increase of approximately 82%. This growth was driven by increased production from two major programs.
Engineering Revenue $1.1 million in Q4 FY2025, compared to $1.9 million in Q4 FY2024, a decrease of approximately 42%. The decline was due to the transition of the single-use cystoscope program to production.
Gross Margin 13% in Q4 FY2025, compared to 22% in Q4 FY2024. The decline was due to suboptimal yields in the single-use cystoscope production and under-absorption of engineering resources.
Net Loss $1.4 million in Q4 FY2025, flat compared to Q4 FY2024. The loss was influenced by increased SG&A expenses and suboptimal production yields.
Adjusted EBITDA Negative $856,000 in Q4 FY2025, compared to negative $1.1 million in Q4 FY2024. The improvement was due to increased production revenue.
Cash $1.8 million at the end of June 2025, with debt below $1.9 million.
Two major production programs: Transitioned from development to production, driving record revenues. One program is with a top-tier aerospace company, and the other is with a surgical robotics company focused on urology.
Unity platform: Launched to build a strong backlog of programs and expand the product development pipeline.
Market expansion through new facilities: Moved headquarters to Littleton, Massachusetts, and opened a new facility in South Portland, Maine, to support growth and access a broader engineering talent pool.
Gross margin challenges: Faced challenges in Q3 and Q4 of fiscal 2025 due to production yield issues, labor costs, and tariff increases. Steps are being taken to improve margins in fiscal 2026.
Operational investments: Hired new manufacturing and quality engineers, a Director of Quality and Regulatory Affairs, and a new Chief Operating Officer to improve manufacturing efficiency.
Strategic shift to production focus: Shifted from an engineering-focused business to a production-driven enterprise, with production revenue expected to grow by 75% in fiscal 2026.
Long-term contracts: Secured long-term contracts with minimum annual commitments for major programs, providing revenue visibility and stability.
Gross Margin Challenges: The company faced gross margin challenges in Q3 and Q4 of fiscal 2025 due to production yield issues, higher labor touch time, and substantial tariff increases. These challenges led to zero or negative gross margins for certain products, significantly impacting overall profitability.
Production Yield Issues: The single-use cystoscope program faced production yield challenges, resulting in higher costs and lower profitability. Design updates and process improvements are planned but will take months to implement.
Tariff Costs: Substantial tariff increases in Q3 and Q4 of fiscal 2025 negatively impacted gross margins, with Q4 tariff costs alone amounting to approximately $180,000, representing about 3% of gross margin.
Engineering Resource Allocation: Engineering resources were diverted to troubleshoot production issues, reducing the capacity for billable product development work and impacting overall gross margins.
Dependence on Major Programs: The company’s revenue growth is heavily reliant on two major production programs. Any disruption in these programs could significantly impact financial performance.
Operational Scaling Challenges: The company is transitioning from a small engineering-focused business to a larger manufacturing enterprise, facing challenges in scaling operations efficiently.
Debt and Cash Flow: The company has limited cash reserves of $1.8 million and debt of $1.9 million, necessitating efforts to increase debt capital to fund business expansion.
Revenue Expectations: The company projects fiscal 2026 revenues to reach $25 million, a 30% increase from $19 million in fiscal 2025. This growth is driven by the expansion of the systems manufacturing business, which is expected to grow by 75% from $8.3 million in fiscal 2025 to $14.5 million in fiscal 2026.
Gross Margin Projections: Gross margins are expected to recover to approximately 30% in fiscal 2026, compared to 18% in fiscal 2025. Improvements are anticipated due to better manufacturing yields, tariff reimbursements, and elimination of low-margin revenue.
Production Program Growth: The company expects continued revenue growth from its two major production programs. The aerospace program backlog stands at nearly $9 million, with commitments to double delivery rates. The single-use cystoscope program is expected to see steadily increasing profitability throughout fiscal 2026 due to design and production changes and renegotiated pricing.
Product Development Pipeline: The company anticipates two to three programs to transfer to production in each of the next two years, with a recovery in product development revenue from $4.9 million in fiscal 2025 to $5.6 million in fiscal 2026.
Operational Investments: Investments in facilities and personnel, including a new Chief Operating Officer and quality engineers, are expected to support long-term growth and operational efficiency.
Adjusted EBITDA: The company expects to recover positive adjusted EBITDA in the range of $0.5 million for fiscal 2026, driven by significant increases in revenue and gross margins.
