Results from Operations

 

Third Quarter 2025

Revenue was $14.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to strong growth in avionics, space, and industrials product shipments.

 

Gross margin was 44.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with 47.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to product mix and higher tariff-related costs.

 

Net income was $1.8 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $2.3 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the following:

 

the decrease in gross margin discussed above;

 

higher engineering, selling and administrative expenses driven by higher research and development investment, higher sales commissions consistent with the increase in revenues, higher stock-based compensation, and an increase in administrative and corporate expenses consistent with the overall growth in the business; and

 

higher income taxes driven by a one-time adjustment to reverse a deferred tax asset associated with capitalized research and development costs to reflect recent charges in the U.S. tax code.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The slight decrease was primarily due to lower gross margins, higher engineering, selling and administrative expenses discussed above, and higher interest income partially offset by higher stock-based compensation.

 

Fiscal Year to Date 2025

Revenue was $40.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $36.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The 11.0% increase was primarily due to continued strong defense program product and solution shipments and a recent uptick in avionics production, solid improvement in industrials shipments.

 

Gross margin was 43.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with 45.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to product mix and higher tariff-related costs partially offset by higher revenues.

 

Net income was $5.0 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $5.5 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the following:

 

the decrease in gross margin discussed above;

 

higher engineering, selling and administrative expenses driven by higher research and development investment, higher sales commissions consistent with the increase in revenues, higher stock-based compensation, and an increase in administrative and corporate expenses to support the growth in revenues; and

 

higher income taxes driven by a one-time adjustment to reverse a deferred tax asset associated with capitalized research and development costs to reflect recent charges in the U.S. tax code.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Backlog

Backlog was $58.8 million as of September 30, 2025, an increase of 47.9% from $39.8 million as of September 30, 2024 and 24.5% from $47.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in backlog from December 31, 2024 reflects robust demand across aerospace and defense programs, new program launches, and a recent surge in avionics and space orders.
