Several quarters also featured raised full-year guidance and growing working capital. Price reactions to these earnings were often double-digit gains, indicating investors had rewarded execution and guidance improvements.

Key Terms

non-gaap, adjusted ebitda, adjusted earnings per share, gaap, +4 more

8 terms

non-gaap financial

"4Q25 non-GAAP diluted adjusted EPS[1] of $1.17, up from $0.61..."

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.

adjusted ebitda financial

"Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA1 for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $4.7 million..."

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.

adjusted earnings per share financial

"Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS). Adjusted EPS is considered a non-GAAP..."

Adjusted Earnings Per Share shows how much profit a company makes for each share of stock, but it removes unusual or one-time items like big expenses or gains. This helps investors see the company's true ongoing performance, making it easier to compare how well different companies are doing over time.

gaap financial

"BK Technologies prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")."

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

federal communications commission regulatory

"we will submit the BKR9500 multi band mobile for Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval in the second half of 2026."

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent U.S. government agency that oversees and sets rules for radio, television, satellite, cable and wireless communications across the country. Investors care because the FCC issues licenses, allocates spectrum and enforces rules that can create or limit market access, affect costs, and shape revenue opportunities for telecom, media and technology companies—think of it as the referee and traffic controller for the airwaves and networks companies use.

rsus financial

"he was awarded 497 restricted stock units (RSUs) of common stock at $0..."

RSUs, or restricted stock units, are a form of company shares given to employees as part of their compensation. They are typically awarded with certain restrictions, such as a waiting period before they can be fully owned or sold, similar to earning a gift that becomes fully yours over time. For investors, RSUs can impact a company's stock offerings and reflect how much the company relies on stock-based incentives to attract and retain talent.

schedule 13g regulatory

"has filed a Schedule 13G reporting a passive ownership stake..."

A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.

nol carryforwards financial

"one-time, non-cash income tax provision expense for NOL carryforwards during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2025."

Net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards are tax losses from prior years that a company is allowed to apply against future taxable profits, like a store credit that reduces the amount it owes later. They matter to investors because they can lower future tax bills, boost expected cash flow and reported earnings, and therefore affect a company’s valuation and how quickly it can turn losses into sustainable profits.

WEST MELBOURNE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / March 12, 2026 / BK Technologies Corporation (NYSE American:BKTI) (the "Company," "BK Technologies"), a provider of advanced public safety communications solutions, today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The Company will host a conference call today, March 12, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

John Suzuki, CEO of BK Technologies, commented, "We achieved outstanding results throughout 2025, successfully executing on our strategic priorities to deliver revenue growth, margin expansion, and increased profitability. Our performance exceeded guidance by all measures, validating the strength of our product portfolio and the accelerating adoption of our solutions across public safety communications. The BKR 9000, our next-generation, all-band portable radio, continued to gain meaningful traction, driving both top-line growth and material margin expansion as agencies increasingly choose our multi-band radios for their unmatched combination of performance, interoperability, value, and ergonomics. By extending our reach beyond wildland fire into structural fire, law enforcement, and everyday mission critical communications, we have meaningfully enhanced our positioning and opened new opportunities to expand our addressable market. Despite our recent momentum, our share of the overall land mobile radio market remains modest, and we believe we have significant opportunity to grow within both existing and new customers. While adoption accelerated in 2025, we believe we remain in the early stages of penetrating a large replacement cycle across state and local agencies, with significant opportunity to expand share as departments migrate toward multi-band interoperability solutions.

"With record cash position of $22.8 million, a debt-free balance sheet, increasing revenue and profit growth, and strong momentum as we close out Vision 2025, we launch our next phase, Vision 2030, from a position of strength. Our current financial standing allows us to continue investing in product innovation, channel expansion, and go-to-market initiatives that we believe will support durable market share gains over the coming years. As we enter 2026 and embark on Vision 2030, we reiterate our strategic priorities of revenue growth, profitability expansion, and cash generation, all aimed at delivering value for both our customers and shareholders. Our team is steadfast on executing our roadmap, including the forthcoming BKR 9500 in-vehicle platform, expanding our dealer network, and capturing share in our core markets where reliability and value matter most. Building on the momentum achieved in 2025, we are introducing our full year 2026 expectations, including revenue of $90 million, gross margin of +50%, GAAP diluted EPS of $3.15, and Non-GAAP diluted adjusted EPS of $3.55. Our engineering development costs will increase as we complete the development of the BKR 9500, submit the product for FCC approval, and move towards production readiness. As the development nears completion in 2026, these costs will be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized, as they will no longer meet the criteria for capitalization under our accounting policies. This change reflects the natural progression of our product development cycle and does not impact the economics of our business or the Company's free cash flow generation. In addition, the Company expects its 2026 tax rate to normalize at approximately 25% compared to 15.7% in 2025. The combination of expensing engineering costs and the higher tax rate is expected to reduce projected EPS by approximately $1.05 relative to prior accounting and tax assumptions. Importantly, these items are accounting and tax timing effects which do not reflect any change in the Company's underlying operating momentum or cash generating ability. We believe that our 2026 targets reflect prudent planning assumptions while we continue to see healthy demand signals, expanding sales pipeline, and increasing engagement from agencies evaluating modernization of legacy radio fleets.

We look forward to providing a comprehensive discussion of our Vision 2030 initiatives next month at our Investor Day on Thursday, April 2, and remain confident that the foundation our team has built positions us for continued profitable growth and long-term value creation."

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

BK Technologies prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release are important to the reader of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has provided the non-GAAP financial information presented in the press release, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in the press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures presented in the press release. The non-GAAP financial measures in the press release may differ from similar measures used by other companies.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA). Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are considered non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC's rules because they exclude certain amounts included in net income provided in the statement of operations attributable to the Company calculated in accordance with GAAP, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin can help the investors better understand operational factors associated with the Company's financial performance because it excludes the following from consideration: interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and infrequent or unusual losses or gains (i.e., non-recurring and incremental restructuring charges that are not expected to be routinely incurred year over year because of the Company's strategy and operating experience). Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. See Reconciliation to GAAP below for calculation methodology and details regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS). Adjusted EPS is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SEC's rules because it excludes certain amounts included in the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company calculated in accordance with GAAP EPS, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts GAAP EPS for expense items that are typically strategic in nature or that management otherwise does not view as reflecting the operating performance of the Company. Management believes Adjusted EPS can help the reader better understand the operating performance of the core businesses and their ability to generate earnings. The Company has non-cash charges for stock-based compensation and changes in investment value that do not reflect the operating performance of the LMR and Solutions businesses. The Company has also entered a master Service Agreement with EastWest Manufacturing, LLC for the manufacture of LMR radio products and accessories resulted in one-time adjustments related to the transition of production operations during the fiscal year 2024. The Company also recorded a one-time, non-cash income tax provision expense for NOL carryforwards during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2025. Management believes that these one-time charges do not reflect the operational profitability of the business for fiscal year 2024 and the second, third and fourth quarters of 2025 compared to prior periods. See Reconciliation to GAAP below for calculation methodology and details regarding Adjusted EPS. We do not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP guidance due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain items necessary to provide such reconciliations as a result of their unknown effect, timing and potential significance.

These non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors but should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results. Differences between non-GAAP financial measures and comparable GAAP financial measures are reconciled in the release. We do not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP guidance due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain items necessary to provide such reconciliations as a result of their unknown effect, timing and potential significance.

BKTI reported $21.5M revenue in 4Q25 and GAAP diluted EPS of $1.05. According to the company, revenue rose 20% year‑over‑year driven by strong agency orders and increased BKR 5000/9000 purchases.
