Executive summary

  • Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 increased 27.1% year-over-year to $4.07 million, driven by a large education order, 22.5% growth in direct-to-consumer sales, and strong growth in Asia, partially offset by lower European sales.

  • Gross margin improved to 40.0% from 36.6% in the prior year, reflecting favorable customer mix and lower impact from fixed manufacturing costs.

  • Operating expenses declined 7.5% year-over-year due to lower compliance, legal, and deferred compensation costs.

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.
