AstroNova (ALOT) reported disappointing Q3 FY2025 results with net revenue of $40.4 million, up 7.7% year-over-year. The company faced significant challenges, particularly with the MTEX NS integration in its Product Identification segment, which posted an operating loss of $1.1 million on revenue of $1.7 million.

GAAP net income was $0.2 million ($0.03 per diluted share), down from $2.7 million ($0.37 per diluted share) in Q3 FY2024. Gross margin declined to 33.9% from 39.4% year-over-year. The Test & Measurement segment showed strength with revenue of $14.1 million, while Product Identification revenue slightly decreased to $26.3 million.

Due to integration challenges, AstroNova has withdrawn its financial guidance for fiscal 2025 and 2026, with full integration expected to continue through mid-2025.

AstroNova (ALOT) ha riportato risultati deludenti per il terzo trimestre dell'anno fiscale 2025, con un fatturato netto di 40,4 milioni di dollari, in aumento del 7,7% rispetto all'anno precedente. L'azienda ha affrontato sfide significative, in particolare con l'integrazione di MTEX NS nel suo segmento di Identificazione Prodotto, che ha registrato una perdita operativa di 1,1 milioni di dollari su un fatturato di 1,7 milioni di dollari.

Il reddito netto secondo i principi contabili generalmente accettati (GAAP) è stato di 0,2 milioni di dollari (0,03 dollari per azione diluita), in calo rispetto ai 2,7 milioni di dollari (0,37 dollari per azione diluita) del terzo trimestre dell'anno fiscale 2024. Il margine lordo è sceso al 33,9% dal 39,4% rispetto all'anno precedente. Il segmento Test & Misurazione ha mostrato solidità con un fatturato di 14,1 milioni di dollari, mentre il fatturato dell'Identificazione Prodotto è leggermente diminuito a 26,3 milioni di dollari.

A causa delle sfide nell'integrazione, AstroNova ha ritirato le sue previsioni finanziarie per gli anni fiscali 2025 e 2026, con l'integrazione totale prevista fino a metà 2025.

AstroNova (ALOT) informó sobre resultados decepcionantes para el tercer trimestre del año fiscal 2025, con ingresos netos de 40,4 millones de dólares, un aumento del 7,7% interanual. La compañía enfrentó desafíos significativos, particularmente con la integración de MTEX NS en su segmento de Identificación de Productos, que registró una pérdida operativa de 1,1 millones de dólares sobre ingresos de 1,7 millones de dólares.

El ingreso neto según los principios de contabilidad generalmente aceptados (GAAP) fue de 0,2 millones de dólares (0,03 dólares por acción diluida), en comparación con los 2,7 millones de dólares (0,37 dólares por acción diluida) en el tercer trimestre del año fiscal 2024. El margen bruto se redujo al 33,9% desde el 39,4% interanual. El segmento de Pruebas y Medición mostró fortaleza con ingresos de 14,1 millones de dólares, mientras que los ingresos de Identificación de Productos disminuyeron ligeramente a 26,3 millones de dólares.

Debido a los desafíos de integración, AstroNova ha retirado su guía financiera para los años fiscales 2025 y 2026, con la integración completa que se espera continúe hasta mediados de 2025.

AstroNova (ALOT)는 2025 회계연도 3분기 실적이 실망스러웠다고 보고하며, 순매출은 4,040만 달러로 지난해 대비 7.7% 증가했다고 밝혔습니다. 회사는 특히 제품 식별 부문에서 MTEX NS 통합과 관련해 상당한 도전에 직면하였으며, 이 부문은 170만 달러의 매출에 대해 110만 달러의 운영 손실을 기록했습니다.

일반적으로 인정된 회계 원칙(GAAP)에 따른 순이익은 20만 달러(희석 주당 0.03 달러)로, 2024 회계연도 3분기 시의 270만 달러(희석 주당 0.37 달러)에서 감소하였습니다. 총 이익률은 지난해 39.4%에서 33.9%로 감소했습니다. 시험 및 측정 부문은 1,410만 달러의 수익으로 강세를 보였으나, 제품 식별 부문의 수익은 2630만 달러로 약간 감소하였습니다.

통합 문제로 인해, AstroNova는 2025년 및 2026년 회계연도에 대한 재무 지침을 철회하였으며, 완전 통합은 2025년 중반까지 지속될 것으로 예상하고 있습니다.

AstroNova (ALOT) a annoncé des résultats décevants pour le troisième trimestre de l'exercice fiscal 2025, avec des revenus nets de 40,4 millions de dollars, en hausse de 7,7 % par rapport à l'année précédente. La société a dû faire face à des défis importants, notamment en ce qui concerne l'intégration de MTEX NS dans son segment d'Identification des Produits, qui a enregistré une perte opérationnelle de 1,1 million de dollars pour un chiffre d'affaires de 1,7 million de dollars.

Le bénéfice net selon les principes comptables généralement acceptés (GAAP) était de 0,2 million de dollars (0,03 dollar par action diluée), en baisse par rapport à 2,7 millions de dollars (0,37 dollar par action diluée) au troisième trimestre de l'exercice fiscal 2024. La marge brute est tombée à 33,9 % contre 39,4 % l'année précédente. Le segment Test & Mesure a montré de la force avec un chiffre d'affaires de 14,1 millions de dollars, tandis que le chiffre d'affaires du segment Identification des Produits a légèrement diminué à 26,3 millions de dollars.

En raison des défis d'intégration, AstroNova a retiré ses prévisions financières pour les exercices fiscaux 2025 et 2026, avec une intégration complète prévue jusqu'à la mi-2025.

AstroNova (ALOT) berichtete über enttäuschende Ergebnisse für das dritte Quartal des Geschäftsjahres 2025 mit einem Nettoumsatz von 40,4 Millionen Dollar, was einem Anstieg von 7,7 % im Vergleich zum Vorjahr entspricht. Das Unternehmen sah sich erheblichen Herausforderungen gegenüber, insbesondere bei der Integration von MTEX NS in seinem Segment Produktidentifikation, das einen operativen Verlust von 1,1 Millionen Dollar bei einem Umsatz von 1,7 Millionen Dollar auswies.

Der GAAP-Nettogewinn betrug 0,2 Millionen Dollar (0,03 Dollar pro verwässerter Aktie), ein Rückgang von 2,7 Millionen Dollar (0,37 Dollar pro verwässerter Aktie) im dritten Quartal des Geschäftsjahres 2024. Die Bruttomarge fiel von 39,4 % im Vorjahr auf 33,9 %. Das Segment Test & Messung zeigte Stärke mit einem Umsatz von 14,1 Millionen Dollar, während die Umsätze im Segment Produktidentifikation leicht auf 26,3 Millionen Dollar sanken.

Aufgrund von Integrationsschwierigkeiten hat AstroNova seine Finanzprognosen für die Geschäftsjahre 2025 und 2026 zurückgezogen, wobei eine vollständige Integration bis zur Mitte des Jahres 2025 erwartet wird.

Positive
  • Revenue increased 7.7% year-over-year to $40.4 million
  • Test & Measurement segment revenue grew to $14.1 million from $11.0 million
  • Bookings improved to $37.6 million from $35.5 million year-over-year
Negative
  • Net income declined 91.3% to $0.2 million from $2.7 million year-over-year
  • Gross margin decreased 550 basis points to 33.9%
  • MTEX integration posted $1.1 million operating loss
  • Company withdrew financial guidance for FY2025 and FY2026
  • Backlog decreased to $27.1 million from $31.2 million year-over-year

Insights

The Q3 FY25 results reveal significant challenges for AstroNova. Revenue grew 7.7% to $40.4 million, but profitability metrics deteriorated substantially. GAAP gross margin contracted 550 basis points to 33.9%, while operating margin plunged 920 basis points to 3.1%. The MTEX NS acquisition has been particularly problematic, contributing an operating loss of $1.1 million on just $1.7 million in revenue.

The Product Identification segment shows concerning trends with revenue declining slightly and operating margin dropping sharply from 18.1% to 7.1%. The bright spot is Test & Measurement, which grew revenue by 28.2% despite Boeing strike impacts. The withdrawal of financial guidance for FY25/26 suggests continued near-term uncertainty, though several million in delayed orders should benefit upcoming quarters.

The MTEX NS integration challenges are proving more severe than anticipated, requiring a complete organizational restructuring. Key operational metrics have deteriorated, with gross margins suffering and operating expenses increasing. The extended integration timeline through mid-2025 signals significant operational disruption ahead. The company's cost reduction and product rationalization initiative is a necessary response but indicates deeper operational issues that need addressing.

On the positive side, the Boeing strike resolution should normalize aerospace shipments and the planned incorporation of MTEX technology across product lines could yield long-term operational benefits. However, the current execution issues and integration complexities present substantial near-term risks to operational efficiency and profitability.

Company to host earnings conference call at 9:00 a.m. ET today

WEST WARWICK, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AstroNova, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2025 third quarter ended November 2, 2024.

Third Quarter FY 2025 Summary

  • Net revenue of $40.4 million
  • GAAP gross margin of 33.9%; non-GAAP gross margin of 34.0%
  • GAAP operating margin of 3.1%; non-GAAP operating margin of 4.0%
  • GAAP net income of $0.03 per diluted share; non-GAAP net income of $0.06 per diluted share
  • GAAP net income of $0.2 million; Adjusted EBITDA of $3.2 million

CEO Commentary

“Overall, our third-quarter performance was disappointing, reflecting a significant decrease in consolidated margins and increased operating expenses year-over-year,” said Greg Woods, AstroNova’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our results were primarily impacted by the ongoing integration of MTEX NS (MTEX) in our Product Identification segment, as well as a key customer’s delayed launch from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of a large order we received for hundreds of inkjet printers that just began shipping this month. The MTEX integration is proving far more time-consuming and resource-intensive than we anticipated when we completed the acquisition in May. MTEX had an operating loss of $1.1 million in the third quarter with revenue of $1.7 million. While its revenue is substantially higher on a sequential basis, MTEX’s initial sales volume, revenue and margin contributions are well short of our targets, and we are working diligently to get the acquisition on track to deliver improved results as rapidly as possible.

“As part of this process, we recently completed a total realignment of MTEX’s organizational reporting structure. All of MTEX’s key functions, including Sales and Marketing, Manufacturing, Technology, Finance, and Human Resources, now report directly to the AstroNova leadership team,” Woods said. “Among its goals, this effort aims to accelerate the implementation of consistent best practices within the MTEX sales process, ensuring alignment with the established standards and practices of our Product Identification segment and our organization as a whole. In conjunction with the integration, we have also launched an AstroNova-wide cost reduction and product line rationalization initiative. These measures have already delivered initial successes, including the closure of some large new orders. However, the full integration process is anticipated to continue through mid-calendar year 2025, with additional work required to complete the transition.

“While the integration has been challenging, we remain confident in MTEX’s game-changing inkjet printing technology, as well as their manufacturing capabilities and unique, real-time, printer monitoring and management software,” Woods said. “In the quarters ahead, in conjunction with our product rationalization program, we plan to incorporate the MTEX technology and software into most of our products and even retrofit it into several models of our large global installed base, which we expect will provide our customers with improved performance and lower total cost of ownership.

“Despite the challenges in the PI segment in the third quarter, our consolidated net revenue increased nearly 8% year-over-year, driven by the continued momentum of the Aerospace product line within our Test & Measurement (T&M) segment,” Woods said. “The performance of the T&M segment would have been even stronger had it not been for the nearly two-month Boeing strike, which delayed shipments. With the strike now resolved, shipments to Boeing are ramping back up, and we expect sales volume in that product line to improve as we close out fiscal 2025. In our PI segment, revenue from the previously delayed inkjet printer order is expected to contribute several million dollars to the top line over the next several quarters.”

Business Outlook

Given the extended integration timeline for MTEX, AstroNova is no longer providing financial guidance for fiscal 2025 and 2026. As part of the integration process, the Company is conducting a comprehensive cost-reduction and product-line rationalization initiative. This effort is aimed at reducing expenses and further enhancing AstroNova’s product portfolio. AstroNova plans to discuss the results of this initiative, and provide long-term financial targets, on its full-year fiscal 2025 earnings call in March.

“Although it will take time to realize the full benefits of the MTEX acquisition, we are encouraged about the strategic opportunities created by the acquisition, which we expect to improve our competitiveness and expand our offerings to meet a broader range of customer needs,” Woods said. “We are confident that the steps we are taking now will yield meaningful competitive advantages, ultimately driving shareholder value.”

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with $5.7 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal 2025 period excludes the impact of $0.4 million in MTEX-related acquisition expenses and inventory-step-up costs.

Bookings for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 were $37.6 million, compared with $35.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Backlog as of November 2, 2024, was $27.1 million, compared with $31.2 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Q3 FY 2025 Operating Segment Results

Product Identification

Product Identification (PI) segment revenue was $26.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with $26.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily related to the delayed release of a new inkjet printer, to accommodate a key customer’s request to add additional functionality, as well as lower PI sales volume in Europe, partly offset by revenue from the acquisition of MTEX NS. PI segment operating income was $1.9 million, or 7.1% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with segment operating income of $4.8 million, or 18.1% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was driven by higher costs during the 2025 period, partially linked to the MTEX NS acquisition, an unfavorable product mix, reduced sales volume in Europe, and the delayed launch of a new product originally scheduled for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 but deferred to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and early fiscal 2026.

Test & Measurement

Test & Measurement (T&M) segment revenue was $14.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with $11.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was driven by higher sales volume in the Company’s Aerospace product line, partly offset by lower sales volume in the Test & Measurement product line. T&M segment operating income was $3.3 million, or 23.0% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with segment operating income of $2.6 million, or 23.2% of revenue, in the same period of fiscal 2024.
