A Pivotal Fourth Quarter, Marked by a Return to Positive Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA for the First Time in Seven Quarters

Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ:GNSS), the global leader in Protective Communications, today announced financial results for the Company's fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended September 30, 2025.

Management Commentary and Outlook

"The fourth quarter marked an inflection point for Genasys," said Richard Danforth, Genasys' Chief Executive Officer. "With the benefits of our strategic efforts starting to materialize, we delivered a significant increase in revenue and returned to positive operating income and adjusted EBITDA*. Our gross margin returned to 50%, which we expect to be a more normalized level going forward. Furthermore, we expanded our backlog, as we continued to win new deals in both our hardware and software businesses.

"This is an exciting phase for Genasys. We are executing on the large opportunities in our backlog and are beginning to build momentum in our pipeline across all business verticals. Demand for our technology continues to build globally across defense, public safety, emergency warning, and other critical markets. Success in Puerto Rico has accelerated interest from international governments seeking similar solutions, and we believe these Early Warning System projects will become an important growth driver as we move through 2026 and 2027. Additionally, our LRAD business continues to be validated with a consistent flow of new and follow-on orders across various end markets. On the software side, governments and law enforcement agencies are increasingly turning to Genasys to strengthen their crisis communication processes, and we expect ongoing growth in our software offerings.

"Entering fiscal 2026 with a strong backlog, we expect sustained year-over-year revenue growth with gross margins near 50%. Overall, it was a successful quarter for Genasys, and we are confident we can build on this positive performance and drive meaningful value creation for our shareholders."

Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Fiscal fourth quarter revenue was $17.0 million, an increase of 152.6% from $6.7 million in the prior year's quarter.

Gross profit margin was 50.3%, compared with 40.8% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily driven by the increase in hardware revenue and reflects the normalized rate we expect moving forward.

Operating expenses decreased 26.5% to $7.3 million from $9.9 million in fiscal fourth quarter 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 22.8% to $5.8 million from $7.5 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Research and development expenses decreased 38.0% year-over-year to $1.5 million from $2.4 million in the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter.

GAAP net loss in the quarter was ($1.4) million, or ($0.03) per share, compared with a GAAP net loss of ($11.4) million, or ($0.26) per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in GAAP net loss was driven by the higher revenues and cost cutting measures.

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with ($6.0) million for the prior fiscal year period.

Fiscal 2025 Financial Review

Revenue for fiscal year 2025 increased 69.8% to $40.8 million, compared to $24.0 million in fiscal year 2024. Software revenue increased 21.5% to $8.9 million. Hardware revenue increased to $31.8 million, or 91.0%, primarily driven by a $13.2 million contribution from the Puerto Rico Early Warning System Project.

Gross profit margin was 41.6% for fiscal year 2025, compared with 42.4% in the prior fiscal year. The slight decrease in profit margin was attributable to the revenue recognition pattern for the early-stage Puerto Rico Early Warning System Project.

Operating expenses were $33.8 million in fiscal year 2025, down $3.1 million from $36.9 million in fiscal year 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 5.9% to $25.7 from $27.3 million in fiscal year 2024, primarily driven by decreases in professional services and marketing expenses. Research and development expenses decreased 16.0% year-over-year primarily due to a decrease in employee expenses.

GAAP net loss for fiscal year 2025 was ($18.1) million, or ($0.40) per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of ($31.7) million, or ($0.72) per share, in fiscal year 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA was ($12.4) million in fiscal year 2025, compared with ($22.1) million in fiscal year 2024.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $8.0 million as of September 30, 2025, compared with $13.1 million as of September 30, 2024. Based on current cash position and order backlog, the Company believes it has sufficient capital to service its near-and long-term debt.

*We include in this press release adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and which we believe provides helpful information to investors with respect to evaluating the Company's performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents our net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation, fair value measurements of our term loans and warrants, and other items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions regarding allocation of capital and invest in initiatives that are focused on cultivating new markets for our solutions. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. However, since adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, it is not necessarily comparable with adjusted EBITDA used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for performance measures calculated under GAAP, including net income (loss).
