  • Secured $340,000 initial production order for ophthalmic endoscopes with expected higher follow-on orders
  • Accelerating deliveries on $9 million urological endoscope order
  • Launch of Unity Imaging Platform expected to reduce costs and development time
Negative
  • Revenue decreased year-over-year from $4.8M to $4.5M
  • Net loss widened to $1.0 million from $0.8 million year-over-year
  • Gross margins declined to 23.6% from 30.1% year-over-year
  • Engineering revenue decreased significantly to $1.2M from $2.3M year-over-year

Insights

The Q2 FY2025 results reveal both opportunities and challenges for Precision Optics. The 42% sequential growth in production revenue to $3.3M signals strong execution in transitioning from engineering to manufacturing, particularly in single-use applications. However, this is offset by concerning margin compression, with gross margins declining 650 basis points year-over-year to 23.6%.

The revenue mix shift from engineering to production revenue is strategically significant. While engineering revenue declined 48% year-over-year to $1.2M, this appears partly due to internal R&D investment in the Unity Imaging Platform - a calculated trade-off that could yield long-term benefits in the CMOS endoscope market. The platform's modular approach could accelerate customer adoption by reducing development costs and time-to-market.

The widening net loss of $1.0M and negative adjusted EBITDA of $0.6M highlight near-term profitability challenges. However, the $9M production order for urological endoscopes, with $2.7M expected in FY2025, provides meaningful revenue visibility. The recent $340,000 ophthalmic endoscope order, with potential follow-on volumes 2-3x higher, demonstrates the company's ability to secure recurring production contracts.

The defense/aerospace program acceleration adds revenue diversification beyond medical devices. Management's expectation of improved gross margins and bottom-line performance in H2 FY2025 will be critical to monitor, as sustainable profitability depends on successfully scaling production while controlling costs.

GARDNER, Mass., Feb. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (NASDAQ: POCI), a leading designer and manufacturer of advanced optical instruments for the medical and defense/aerospace industries, announced operating results on an unaudited basis for its second quarter fiscal year 2025 for the period ended December 31, 2024.

Q2 2025 Financial Highlights (3 Months Ended December 31, 2024):

  • Revenue was $4.5 million compared to $4.8 million in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year and an 8 percent improvement compared to $4.2 million in the most recent sequential quarter.
  • Production revenue was $3.3 million compared to $2.6 million in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year and a 42 percent improvement compared to $2.3 million in the most recent sequential quarter.
  • Engineering revenue was $1.2 million compared to $2.3 million in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year and compared to $1.9 million in the most recent sequential quarter.
  • Gross margins were 23.6% compared to 30.1% in the same quarter of the previous year and compared to 26.6% in the most recent sequential quarter.
  • Net loss for the quarter was ($1.0) million, compared to $(0.8) million in the same quarter of the previous year, and compared to $(1.3) million in the most recent sequential quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $(0.6) million for the quarter compared to $(0.3) million in the same quarter of the previous year and compared to $(1.0) million in the most recent sequential quarter.

Recent Additional Highlights:

  • In January 2025, POC launched the Unity Imaging Platform. The platform is comprised of a CMOS endoscopic system with customization options based on existing or newly designed sub-components. This groundbreaking modular optical platform is set to transform the development and production of endoscopic imaging devices by significantly reducing costs, time to market, and project risks.
  • In November 2024, POC announced receipt of an initial $340,000 production order from a large, global medical device company to provide initial stocking quantities of a new single-use ophthalmic endoscope. POC expects follow-on orders to support first year requirements after launch with delivery rates two to three times those of the initial stocking order.
  • In October 2024, following FDA 510(k) clearance by its customer for a single-use urological endoscope imaging assembly, POC accelerated the timeline for production deliveries against a $9 million order announced in May 2024. POC currently estimates approximately $2.7 million in product deliveries during its fiscal year ending June 2025.

“Production growth was reignited during this past quarter, up 42% sequentially, and at the highest levels since the end of fiscal 2023. This increase was driven by growth in new single-use applications and the acceleration of a defense/aerospace program for which we have received a multi-million dollar follow on production order,” commented Precision Optics' CEO, Joseph Forkey. “Based on the strength of our customer relationships and the success of their offerings in the market, we expect this is the beginning of a long period of significant production increases.”

“Engineering revenue was down in Q2, in part due to a major push on internal R&D to prepare our Unity Imaging Platform which we launched the last week of January. Unity is a groundbreaking platform that we believe will unlock new opportunities for growth in the CMOS-based endoscope market, including single-use endoscopy. We expect Engineering revenue to recover in the second half of the year as we re-allocate resources back to revenue bearing product development activities to satisfy increases in demand from existing and new product development customers.”

“Based on our large backlog of production programs and engineering projects, we expect continuing revenue growth in the second half of fiscal 2025 to drive substantial improvements in gross margin and the bottom line. We expect the investments we have made in key technologies and in our Unity Imaging Platform will result in substantial long-term growth. I look forward to ending the year on a high note,” Dr. Forkey concluded.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Precision Optics has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America (“non-GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). In addition to the aforementioned items, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes from Net Income (Loss) the effect of stock-based compensation.

This non-GAAP financial measure assists Precision Optics management in comparing its operating performance over time because certain items may obscure the underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, as they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency or relate to discrete acquisition or restructuring plans that are fundamentally different from the ongoing productivity of the Company. Precision Optics management also believes that presenting this measure allows investors to view its performance using the same measures that the Company uses in evaluating its financial and business performance and trends.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included with this press release.
