Insights

Financial Analyst

CSPi shows 18% revenue growth but reduced margins with net loss of $0.03/share as AZT PROTECT pipeline strengthens amid strategic channel expansion.

CSPi's Q3 FY2025 results reveal a company in transition, with 18% year-over-year revenue growth to $15.4 million primarily driven by their Technology Solutions segment, which grew 20%. The company's strategic focus on cloud services and maritime customers is clearly yielding top-line results. Product revenue surged 29% to $10.2 million, highlighting strong market acceptance.

However, this revenue growth comes with concerning margin compression. Gross margin contracted significantly from 34% to 29% year-over-year, resulting in gross profit of $4.5 million – actually lower than last year's $4.6 million despite the revenue increase. The shifting revenue mix toward lower-margin product sales appears to be diluting profitability, contributing to a quarterly net loss of $0.3 million ($0.03 per share), slightly worse than last year's $0.02 per share loss.

The nine-month results further illustrate this profit compression trend. While revenue increased to $44.3 million from $42.2 million, net income plummeted to just $0.1 million ($0.01 per share) compared to $1.3 million ($0.13 per share) in the prior year period. This 92% profit decline on a 5% revenue increase signals significant margin deterioration across the business.

The balance sheet remains solid with $26.3 million in cash, providing financial flexibility as management invests in AZT PROTECT market development. The $0.03 quarterly dividend and continued share repurchases ($0.3 million in the quarter) demonstrate commitment to shareholder returns despite current profitability challenges.

The inclusion in the Russell 3000 Index represents an opportunity for increased institutional awareness, which could benefit share liquidity and potentially valuation. Management's optimism about the AZT PROTECT pipeline needs to translate into improved bottom-line results for investors to see meaningful long-term value creation beyond the current top-line growth trajectory.

Reports Continued Progress Penetrating AZT PROTECT™ Sales Channels as Managed Services and Cloud-Based Businesses Maintain Growth Trajectories

LOWELL, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 14, 2025 / CSP Inc. (NASDAQ:CSPI), an award-winning provider of security and packet capture products, managed IT and professional services and technology solutions, today announced results, including an 18% increase in total revenue for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior fiscal year 2024 quarter. The Company also announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share payable September 15, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 29, 2025.

Recent Achievements and Operating Highlights

• Technology Solutions (TS) revenue grows 20% for the third fiscal quarter of 2025 compared to the same prior year quarter, reflecting increased demand for cloud-based services and from our Maritime commercial and tourism customers.

• TS selected to deliver critical Microsoft Azure Project for Florida-Based Healthcare Provider due to its technical expertise in cloud services.

• The High-Performance Products (HPP) segment broadened its relationship with South African cell tower customer with an additional multi-year contract to protect cell tower visual monitoring systems involving deploying AZT PROTECT™.

• Strengthened reseller relationships led to new AZT PROTECT™ customer engagements in the steel, concrete and lumber industries.

• Strongest customer order pipeline for AZT PROTECT™ since introducing the product reflecting the increasing market awareness and demand for our innovative solutions both domestically and internationally.

• Added as a member of the broad-market Russell 3000® Index as part of the 2025 Russell indexes reconstitution.

• Board of Directors declares $0.03 per share quarterly dividend.

"In addition to 18% total revenue growth driven by our TS business segment in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 compared to the same prior year quarter, we generated significant momentum throughout the quarter for our differentiated AZT PROTECT™ offering," commented Victor Dellovo, Chief Executive Officer. "Midway through the fiscal fourth quarter we are continuing to experience high interest across our business segments, which increases our potential to grow the top and bottom line for the full fiscal year. The TS business remains strong as the cloud-based business continues to exceed our projections including a secured Microsoft Azure Project for a Florida-Based Healthcare Provider during the third fiscal year quarter. Furthermore, our Maritime business is robust and has required added personnel resources to meet current demand."

"The success of our AZT PROTECT™ reseller and distribution-focused strategy was featured prominently in the fiscal third quarter as we signed new customers in the steel, concrete and lumber industries. These are critically important verticals, allowing us to further develop the relationship with Rockwell and other resellers as we build brand identity in dynamic growth markets. Internationally, the recently announced follow up order with a South African cell tower company demonstrates the impact of our layered-on sales approach to position the Company for larger six and seven figure contracts. As we remain focused on executing our go-to-market strategies, I believe our inclusion in the Russell 3000® Index will elevate the awareness of our story among a broader institutional base and coincide with new AZT PROTECT™ customers."
