Outlook and guidance
FY2026 capital expenditures are expected to total $20M–$30M for new products, manufacturing equipment and facility upgrades, funded from operations and cash.
Production suspensions and final 2026 production and allocation apply to selected products representing ~$25M of revenue and minimal to no profitability; redesigned products may be reconsidered.
Backlog was described as healthy heading into Q4; lower ASP on units ordered reflected mix and shipment timing, viewed as short term.
The Southport facility sale for $5.9M was expected to close in Q4 2026, subject to customary diligence and agreed terms.
New product launches were on track for the next three to four months, with sales and marketing programs in place.
