ORLANDO, FL, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (“CODA” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CODA) a global market leader in real-time 4D/5D/6D imaging sonar technology and AI-enabled real-time subsea imaging and enhanced situational awareness for manned and autonomous platforms and advanced augmented diving technology, today reported its audited financial results for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 (FY2025).
Annmarie Gayle, CODA’s Chairman and CEO, commented: “I am pleased with our overall results of operations in FY2025, especially the increase in our consolidated net revenue, operating income, pre-tax income and earnings per share. Both our Core Business and the Defense Engineering Business saw an increase in financial performance and Precision Acoustics Limited (PAL), which was acquired on October 29, 2024, delivered a very strong performance on a full year basis and achieved the qualifying conditions (revenue and pre-tax profit target) for the year one earn out payments.
Despite the fluid global policy setting environment, we continue to invest in our growth strategy and have made good progress in advancing the DAVD Technology and increasing sales. In the FY2025 we had DAVD and DAVD related sales of approximately
We also saw momentum around our growth drivers, Echoscope PIPE, with the launch of our NANO Gen Series and DAVD where we were contracted under several programs to modify the DAVD technology for integration as a life-support monitoring and visualization component within various diving systems. These modifications are designed to deliver real-time life-support data through the DAVD head-up display (HUD), as well as 3D situational awareness through integration with our compact series of imaging sonars, Echoscope, enhancing safety and mission effectiveness.
Critically, we completed the “Joint Funded DUS Hardening Program” and delivered all contractual program deliverables to both of the funding parties. Completion of this program was a pre-requisite for transitioning the untethered DUS variant into live operational use. As a result of the successful completion of the program, we delivered 16 next-generation DUS Systems for the U.S. Navy MK16 Rebreather system. The next generation DUS is currently undergoing the Authorization for Navy Use (ANU) approval process. We are excited about this as this was a pre-requisite for the broader adoption of the untethered variant which we continue to believe the largest opportunity for the DAVD technology. Records show that in the U.S. alone there are 14,000 divers within the potential community of government and defense users for the untethered system.
In our last quarter of FY2025 we conducted several key trials with the NANO Gen Series sonar which align with broader industry development towards AI-enabled autonomy and perception in subsea applications. As the subsea industry increasingly moves towards the adoption of workflows that reduce reliance on vessel-intensive and continuous human-in-the loop processes, the NANO Gen Series is designed, and uniquely positioned, to deliver the multi-mission operations required by AI-enabled autonomous and semi-autonomous platforms, including real time 3D perception and AI-enabled decision support for underwater perception, navigation, obstacle avoidance and guidance mission execution functions.
Unlike traditional sonars designed primarily for data collection, NANO Gen Series function as a core perception sensor within AI-enabled platforms”.

Fiscal Year 2025 Progress Summary:
In FY2025, we believe we have made significant progress in advancing our growth pillars and cementing the foundation for accelerated growth.
- We completed the DUS Hardening Program and delivered the first 16 new generation of untethered DAVD systems to the US Navy for MK16 Rebreather system.
- We also delivered all contractual deliverables to the Foreign Navy sponsor of the DUS Hardening Program including 4 upgraded DUS untethered systems and a full diver sled. This now puts this foreign navy in a position to evaluate the technology for broader adoption.
- The new generation of untethered DAVD systems is now undergoing approval for Authorization for Navy Use (ANU). Following this, this will pave the way for the operational use of the untethered variant and for broader adoption.
- We also received several contracts for modifying the DAVD Technology for several Defense Diving apparatus/device which we believe is a testament to the growing recognition of DAVD and Echoscope technologies as mission critical tools in the evolving landscape of military diving and underwater operations.
- We are now seeing traction for the DAVD Technology outside the U.S. and have now sold a small batch to a very influential European Navy and we will be conducting training in our second quarter of 2026.
- We launched our ultra compact Echoscope PIPE NANO Gen Series® imaging sonar in our third quarter of FY2025, which is aligned and we believe the best fit for the subsea market AI enabled autonomy sensor requirement by providing a single sensor for multiple missions execution including 3D perception by supporting navigation, obstacle avoidance, target guidance and adaptive mission execution. We have had several successful trials of the NANO Gen Series which has been very well received, and we are following through on several opportunities for the NANO Gen Series.
Ms. Gayle continued: “A significant market for our business is the Defense Underwater Vehicles sector. This market is transitioning toward a new generation of underwater vehicles incorporating AI-enabled autonomous and semi-autonomous capabilities. We are focused on increasing our share of the underwater imaging sonar market and evolving our revenue profile toward program-based adoption models that support recurring sales over the life of major defense programs. As we work to expand our market share and advance our growth plans, it is crucial that Echoscope® technology is positioned for consideration early in the development cycles of new underwater vehicle programs, and that we continue to invest in activities that support participation across a broad range of these programs. The introduction of the NANO Gen Series within our imaging sonar range, further strengthens our leadership in real- time 3D imaging and significantly expands our ability to address a much broader range of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles and application opportunities. In FY2025, we executed successful business development initiatives across this market and supported multiple defense programs in which Echoscope® is being evaluated for inclusion in next-generation underwater vehicle platforms, including those AI-enabled platforms, as well as for capability upgrades on existing platforms. The inclusion of Precision Acoustics Limited into the Group has added significant capabilities especially around our imaging sonar range and also strengthens our position to compete for larger work packages in the Defense market”.
We have also expanded our growth strategy to include M&A activities and continue to build our pipeline of opportunities. This is an ongoing task as we review carefully targets that are the most value accretive for the Group and easy to integrate within our operational structure.

About Coda Octopus Group, Inc.
The Company, founded in 1994, is an established supplier to the underwater/subsea market. It supplies a range of hardware and software solutions to this market which includes key proprietary real time 4D/5D/6D imaging sonars, marketed under the name Echoscope® and Echoscope PIPE® addressing the underwater imaging sensor market along with new generation diving technology, Diver Augmented Vision Display (DAVD) system. The Company’s Echoscope PIPE® sonar generates real-time 3D/4D/5D images of moving objects underwater including in zero visibility water conditions. Echoscope technology is used globally for numerous applications in both the commercial offshore market and defense underwater markets. Applications for the Echoscope® technology include complex mapping underwater, subsea intervention, subsea asset placements, salvage and recovery, search and rescue, offshore renewables cable installations and surveys, marine construction, subsea infrastructure installation, mining applications, robotics (3D Perception and Depth), AI enabled autonomous platforms, breakwater construction and monitoring, decommissioning, diving applications and port and harbor security.
The recently launched new generation of diving technology, DAVD, has the potential to change the way global diving operations are performed (both in the Defense and Commercial space) because it is a fully integrated singular system for topside control and fully connected diver HUD system, allowing both the topside and diver to share a range of critical information and visualize the same underwater scene. Furthermore, the DAVD integrates the Company’s sonar technology, which allows dive operations to be performed in zero visibility conditions, a common problem that besets these operations.
The Company recently acquired Precision Acoustics Limited, an acoustics sensor and materials business. This Company is a recognized leader in the ultrasound and acoustic measurement field. Specializing in acoustic hydrophone design and innovative acoustic materials, they provide a comprehensive range of products and solutions, with a primary focus on medical imaging and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). NDT is used to validate the viability of structures such as aircraft, ship hulls, wellheads and other subsea structures. Their expertise extends to working closely with national and global standard-setting bodies (such as the National Physical Laboratory of the UK), contributing to the establishment of the primary measurement standards in the industry.
The Company also includes two discrete Defense engineering businesses Coda Octopus Martech Ltd (UK based) and Coda Octopus Colmek, Inc. (U.S. based) whose primary business model is to supply sub-assemblies into broader mission critical programs in the capacity of sub-contractors to the Prime Defense Contractors. Their scope of supply under these programs typically includes concept, design, prototype, manufacturing, and post-sale support. This gives them the opportunity to have repeat orders for these sub-assemblies through the life of these programs.
