Bull points
- The biggest thing that we've seen is that the market for lead acid batteries, which is the first step towards electrification, very much is a monetized product because it's not a very intelligent product, if you will. It doesn't have a lot of data associated to it. When someone moves to lithium, you have an opportunity to take that data and use it to really fit into a larger solution that the client is trying to solve in terms of their overall energy usage, the overall life cycle of their equipment, be it in the ground support equipment market or in the material handling market. If I were to put a bow around it, I would say that the real change that we've seen in the first couple of months that I've been here is the opportunity to position us as a software company that happens to have very good batteries and that we fit into an ecosystem of telematics on the equipment, be it at the airport or in the material handling space, or how that equipment might interact with the -the-road fleet and the electrification of that. Yeah, very exciting time.
- Despite near-term global headwinds, our proactive strategy ensures three goals: Maintain optimal margins, sustain growth driven by U.S.-based manufacturing and product innovation, and long-term competitiveness with a cost-efficient diversified supply chain and scalable infrastructure.
- Revenue for the third fiscal quarter increased 16 percent to 16.7 million compared to 14.5 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2024, driven by higher demand in the material handling and ground support equipment markets with unit growth of 10 percent and 25 percent respectively.
Bear points
- Our product does contain a partial -in-China content that is impacted by the latest tariffs.
- Adjusted EBITDA loss was 1.1 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 as compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of 1.7 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2024.
- Net loss for the third fiscal quarter of 2025 was 1.9 million compared to a net loss of 3 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2024, primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit in the current quarter, partially offset by the increase in selling and administrative expenses related to costs associated with the multi-year restatement of previously filed financial statements.
