Commenting on the Company's Fiscal Year 2025 financial results, Enablence CEO, Todd Haugen said, "I am pleased to report that Enablence Technologies delivered strong financial performance for fiscal year 2025, achieving revenue of $5.95 million, representing a 271 percent increase in revenue over the prior year. Achieving this milestone against a backdrop of global uncertainty, including geo-political tensions, supply chain fragilities, and unpredictable tariff policies, demonstrates the growing strength of our company and the success of our strategic growth plan, which remains on track."

"In Fiscal 2026, we expect continued momentum, driven by a robust order book and strong demand across all three core product lines-optical communications, sensing, and compute powered by our advanced AI products," added Haugen.

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2026

Based on the Company's current business outlook, management expects the overall performance for fiscal year 2026 to be as follows:

• In fiscal year 2026, revenue is expected to be $12m +/- $0.5m

• Based on current projections, we expect to become gross margin positive mid-second half FY26

• Fab upgrades have increased wafer starts to 500 wafers per week and we expect to hit 1000 wafers per week by fiscal year end.

"Over the past year, Enablence made significant investments in tooling, processes and infrastructure aimed at improving operational efficiency and expanding wafer capacity at our Fremont, California fab," noted Haugen. "Looking ahead, we will accelerate the deployment and integration of these new advanced toolsets-particularly in etching, deposition, and lithography-to achieve further increases in wafer capacity throughout fiscal 2026. These improvements will greatly support our ability to meet the needs of the accelerating optical modules and components market and capture unprecedented business opportunities in AI and advanced vision, notably LiDAR, as well as our legacy datacom and telecom markets.

"As a safeguard against global supply chain disruptions, our growing North American customer base is increasingly focused on supply chain resilience-which is creating heightened demand for our products. Throughout Fiscal 2026 Enablence will continue to implement geopolitical resilience strategies to guarantee reliable delivery and pricing to our customers through expanded production and redundant supply chains independent of China."
