Q4 2025 earnings summary26 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • Significant transformation initiatives were executed nearly a year ahead of schedule, focusing on programming innovations, AI adoption, and expansion into adjacent markets such as programming services and programming at test, supported by a partnership with IAR for secure provisioning.

  • Despite headwinds from tariffs, industry realignment, and a challenging semiconductor market—especially in automotive electronics—annual revenue remained flat, and the company continued investing in its core platform and operational efficiencies.

  • AI integration accelerated operational efficiency, product development, and cost reduction across all departments, with the first AI production code released and broad deployment achieved.

  • The company is positioned for organic revenue growth in 2026, with a strong pipeline and early customer alignment in edge AI markets.

  • Leadership and board changes over the past 18 months supported the transformation.

Financial highlights

  • Q4 2025 net sales were $4 million, down from $5.2 million in Q4 2024; full-year net sales were $21.5 million, slightly below $21.8 million in 2024.

  • Q4 bookings were $3.1 million, down 25% year-over-year; full-year bookings fell 17% to $18.6 million.

  • Gross margin for Q4 was 43% (vs. 52.2% prior year); full-year gross margin was 49.3% (vs. 53.3%).

  • Q4 net loss was $2.5 million ($0.27/share) vs. $1.2 million ($0.13/share) prior year; full-year net loss was $5 million ($0.53/share) vs. $3.1 million ($0.34/share).

  • Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 was -$2.5 million (or -$1.9 million excluding one-time items); full-year Adjusted EBITDA was -$3.9 million (or -$2.6 million excluding one-time items).

  • Cash at year-end was $7.9 million, down from $10.3 million; net working capital was $12.3 million, with no debt.

Outlook and guidance

  • Targeting organic revenue growth in 2026, driven by edge AI infrastructure demand, recurring revenue strength, and pipeline expansion into programming services and test markets.

  • Anticipates improved gross margins as revenue increases and cost reductions take effect, with $1 million in additional run rate savings targeted for early 2026.

  • Expects to achieve positive operating cash flow by the end of 2026.

  • No immediate plans to issue equity; shelf registration provides flexibility for opportunistic acquisitions.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
