Insights

Senior Financial Analyst

Q3 shows revenue largely stable but sharply compressed margins and a small quarterly loss driven by FX and cost pressure.

Revenues were $13.3 million in Q3 2025, with gross profit of $1.6 million ( 12% of revenues) and EBITDA of $0.6 million ( 5%). The company holds $11.6 million in cash and short-term deposits. These figures indicate the core PCB business still sells at scale but margin conversion weakened materially versus the prior year.

The business mechanism at work is straightforward: sales volumes remain near prior-year levels while cost and currency movements reduced margin. Management cites a sharp depreciation of the U.S. dollar versus the NIS and higher NIS-denominated expense translation as the primary headwind; that aligns with the swing from Q3 2024 operating income of $1.9 million to operating income of $0.05 million and a Q3 net loss of $0.2 million.

Key dependencies and risks include continued FX volatility, the pace of defense versus industrial demand (defense was ~63% of quarterly revenue), and execution of the new production hall and coating-line commissioning. The commissioning is presented as a growth enabler but also a near-term capital and operating focus that could affect margins until ramped.

Concrete items to watch over the next 3–12 months: progress and commissioning timing for the coating lines (operational milestone), sequential gross-margin recovery or further erosion, and quarterly EBITDA trends. Short-term signal: margin and FX-driven financials; medium-term signal: successful start-up of the new production hall and any change in revenue mix away from the heavy defense weighting.

PETACH TIKVA, Israel, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Eltek Ltd. (NASDAQ: ELTK), a global manufacturer and supplier of technologically advanced solutions in the field of printed circuit boards (PCBs), today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter 202 5 Highlights

• Operating income was $0.05 million compared to $1.9 million in Q3 2024
• Net loss was $0.2 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share

"The Company reported third-quarter sales of $13.3 million and nine-month sales of $38.6 million for the period ended September 30, 2025," said Eli Yaffe, Chief Executive Officer of Eltek. "Revenues for the third quarter increased by 6% compared to the second quarter of this year reflecting the Company's ongoing organic growth, driven by strong demand from defense customers and a gradual recovery in the high-end industrial sector. Sales to the defense market represented approximately 63% of total quarterly revenues."

Mr. Yaffe continued: "Gross profit for the quarter was $1.6 million. Our profitability was significantly impacted by the sharp depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the NIS that occurred toward the end of the second quarter of 2025, which increased the reported dollar value of our NIS-denominated expenses. The Company continues to invest significant effort in improving manufacturing efficiency and achieving its targeted gross margin."

Mr. Yaffe concluded: "We are in the final stages of preparing the new production hall for the installation and commissioning of the coating lines—an important milestone in expanding our manufacturing infrastructure and supporting Eltek's long-term growth objectives."
