Q3 2025 earnings summary18 Nov, 2025

Executive summary

  • Q3 2025 sales rose 21.5% year-over-year to $43.4 million, driven by the Electrochem acquisition and higher government/defense demand, but the quarter ended with a GAAP net loss of $0.07 per share due to $1.1 million in one-time costs and supply chain quality issues impacting gross margin.

  • Strategic actions included the closure of the Calgary facility, transition and integration of Electrochem Solutions, and a company-wide rebranding initiative to unify market identity and reduce redundancy.

  • Operating loss was $1.0 million versus operating income of $0.5 million last year, impacted by quality issues, non-recurring costs, and delayed communication systems sales.

Financial highlights

  • Q3 2025 revenues: $43.4 million (+21.5% YoY); gross profit: $9.6 million (22.2% margin), but gross margin declined from 24.3% due to manufacturing inefficiencies and sales mix.

  • Battery & Energy Products segment revenue was $39.95 million (+22.8% YoY), with organic growth of 1.9% excluding Electrochem; Communications Systems revenue was $3.43 million (+8.2% YoY).

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.
