Pattern Detected

Earnings releases have frequently coincided with sharp negative moves, especially when highlighting revenue contraction, impairments, or guidance resets.

Recent Company History

Over the past five earnings cycles, Aspen shifted from strong growth in 2024 to a challenging 2025. Q3 and Q4 2024 showed rapid revenue growth, positive net income, and high Adjusted EBITDA, yet shares traded lower after results. Through 2025, each quarter highlighted falling revenue, growing net losses, and large impairment charges tied to the Statesboro plant. Today’s Q4 and full-year 2025 report, with significant losses and a strategic review, continues that transition narrative from expansion to restructuring and balance-sheet defense.

Average Historical Move earnings

In the last five earnings releases, ASPN’s stock moved an average of -20.17%, with negative reactions common when results emphasized revenue contraction or impairment charges.

The earnings history shows a progression from strong growth and profitability in late 2024 to 2025 quarters dominated by revenue declines, net losses, and large impairments tied to the Statesboro plant, setting the stage for the current full-year 2025 results and strategic review.

Analysis

The stock is dropping -24.7% following this news. A negative reaction despite the company highlighting liquidity of $158.6M and an expected $37.6M GM payment would fit its history of sharp post-earnings selloffs. Prior earnings headlines have averaged a -20.17% move, particularly when results emphasized revenue contraction and large impairments. The announced strategic review may not immediately offset concerns about lower EV-related volumes and the sizeable $389.6M full-year net loss.

Key Terms

Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP
2 terms
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA was $(18.0) million, compared to $22.7 million in the prior year period."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-GAAP financial
"The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss..."
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

  • Ended the year with cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $158.6 million, compared to $152.4 million at the end of the third quarter, reflecting disciplined cash management
  • Generated $16.1 million of cash from operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by working capital initiatives

  • Awarded a North Sea subsea pipeline project with expected delivery in the third quarter of 2026

Strategic Review to Support Long-Term Value Creation
Aspen has initiated a strategic review to evaluate opportunities to strengthen its long-term competitive position. As part of this review, the Company will assess a broad range of potential actions to ensure it is appropriately structured and positioned to execute its priorities and create shareholder value.

The Company has engaged Piper Sandler & Co. as its exclusive financial advisor to assist with the review.

“We have initiated a review to evaluate our commercial growth plans and to optimize our capital structure,” said Don Young, President and CEO. “This review is being conducted from a position of financial strength and operational progress. Our focus is clear — to ensure the company’s strategy, capital allocation, and asset base are aligned to maximize value creation.”

There can be no assurance that this review will result in any transaction or other strategic action. The Company has not established a deadline or timetable for the completion of this review and does not intend to provide updates or to comment on developments related to this review until further disclosure is appropriate or required by law.

Financial Outlook

Aspen issues its financial outlook as follows:

  • Q1 2026 revenue is expected to range between $35 million and $40 million
  • Q1 2026 Net loss is expected to range between $20 million and $23 million
  • Q1 2026 Net loss per share is expected to range between $0.24 and $0.28
  • Q1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range between $(10) million and $(13) million
  • FY 2026 Capital Expenditures are expected to be less than $10 million

Grant Thoele, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, noted, “2025 was a transitional year for Aspen. North American EV production levels decreased in response to evolving regulatory frameworks and end-market demand, while Energy Industrial results were weighted toward maintenance activity, with fewer large project awards. In response, we reduced our fixed cost structure by more than $75 million. Through disciplined cash management, the expected proceeds from our signed GM agreement, and the planned monetization of Statesboro assets, we expect to further strengthen our balance sheet and increase our net cash position. This financial foundation supports our strategic review and enables optionality as we evaluate the best path to position Aspen for long-term growth.”

Thoele added, “As we begin 2026, our outlook reflects continued softness in thermal barrier volumes as EV demand finds a floor at lower production levels. From this base, supported by project momentum in our Energy Industrial segment, we expect topline growth going forward, with improving profitability driven by our leaner cost structure and disciplined execution.”

The Company's Q1 2026 outlook assumes depreciation and amortization of $5.0 million, stock-based compensation expense of $2.5 million, net interest expense of $2.5 million, and diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 82.7 million for the quarter.

A reconciliation of net loss to non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the financial outlook is provided in the financial schedules that are part of this press release. An explanation of this non-GAAP financial measure is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Aspen may incur, among other items, additional charges, realize gains or losses, incur financing costs or interest expense, or experience other events in 2026, including those related to supply chain disruptions, or further cost inflation, that could cause actual results to vary materially from this outlook. See Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements below.

Conference Call and Webcast Notification
A conference call with Aspen management to discuss fourth quarter and full year 2025 results and recent business developments will be held Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. EST. During the call, management will respond to questions concerning, but not limited to, Aspen's financial performance, business conditions, and financial outlook. Management's discussion and responses could contain information that has not been previously disclosed.

Shareholders and other interested parties may call +1 (404) 975-4839 (domestic) or +1 (929) 526-1599 (international) and reference conference ID “539718” to participate in the conference call. In addition, the conference call and an accompanying slide presentation will be available live as a listen-only webcast hosted at the Investors section of Aspen's website, www.aerogel.com.

Following the live event, an archived version of the webcast will be available on Aspen's website for convenient on-demand replay for at least a year. A copy of this press release is posted in the Investors section on Aspen's website.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), Aspen provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP ("non-GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as a measure of operating performance because the non-GAAP financial measures do not include the impact of items that management does not consider indicative of Aspen's core operating performance. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) for planning purposes, including the preparation of Aspen's annual operating budget, (ii) to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of its business, and (iii) as a performance measure under its bonus plan.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Aspen's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in its business, as it excludes expenses and gains not reflective of Aspen's ongoing operating results or that may be infrequent and/or unusual in nature. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating Aspen's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of Aspen's GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, Aspen's financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. In this press release, Aspen has provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), adjusted net loss to net loss and adjusted net loss per share to net loss per share, in each case to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Management strongly encourages investors to review Aspen's financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
