Executive summary

  • Achieved record Q4 2025 revenue of $216 million, up 9.4% year-over-year, and record full-year revenue of $825 million, driven by double-digit defense growth and commercial aerospace returning to growth.

  • Gross margin reached 27.7% in Q4 and 26.9% for the full year, both at record levels, with adjusted EBITDA margin at 17.5% in Q4 and 16.4% for the year.

  • Book-to-bill ratio was 1.3x in Q4, with record remaining performance obligations (RPO) of $1.1 billion.

  • Military and space segment led growth, with commercial aerospace showing signs of recovery after destocking headwinds.

  • One-time litigation settlement and related costs impacted GAAP net income, resulting in Q4 net income of $7.4 million and a full-year net loss of $34 million.

  • Q4 gross profit was $59.8 million (27.7% margin), up from $46.4 million (23.5%) last year.

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.
