Pattern Detected

Earnings releases have often produced strong moves, with most prior reports showing price reactions that align with the underlying earnings tone, except for one quarter where solid growth drew a negative reaction.

Recent Company History

Over the past year, LightPath’s earnings reports have highlighted rapid revenue growth and an expanding backlog tied to BlackDiamond™-enabled infrared camera and defense programs. Q1 and Q2 FY2026 showed revenue of $15.1M and $16.4M, with improving adjusted EBITDA but volatile net losses driven by G5 earnout revaluations. Earlier FY2025 results emphasized growing IR camera orders and the transition from Germanium to proprietary glass. Today’s Q3 FY2026 results continue that trajectory with higher revenue, margins, and backlog.

Across FY2025–FY2026 earnings, LightPath has moved from modest growth and widening losses to faster revenue expansion, larger IR camera and defense orders, and higher backlog, reinforced by acquisitions and its BlackDiamond™ strategy.

Key Terms

adjusted EBITDA, chalcogenide, earnout liability, Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, +4 more
8 terms
adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA** (non-GAAP) | | $1.1 | | $ | (1.6)"
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.
chalcogenide technical
"complementary Chalcogenide glass melting technologies for large diameter optics"
Chalcogenides are solid materials made by combining chalcogen elements—most commonly sulfur, selenium or tellurium—with metals or semiconductors, producing compounds with distinctive electrical and optical behavior. They matter to investors because those behaviors are exploited in electronics, memory storage, sensors and optics, so a company’s use of chalcogenides can affect product performance, competitive position and exposure to raw‑material supply or pricing risks—think of them as specialized building blocks that give devices particular capabilities.
earnout liability financial
"fair value adjustment of $3.4 million related to the G5 earnout liability"
A future payment a buyer has agreed to make after an acquisition if the purchased business hits certain performance targets; it is recorded as a liability because it may become an obligation. Investors care because it affects a company's reported debt and potential cash outflows—similar to promising a bonus if a car you bought later reaches a set mileage, it shifts risk and can change valuation and earnings depending on whether the targets are met.
Series G Convertible Preferred Stock financial
"conversion of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock that was originally acquired"
A Series G convertible preferred stock is a specific class of preferred shares that gives its holders priority for dividends and claims on assets, plus the right to convert those shares into common stock under set terms. It matters to investors because it blends income and downside protection with the potential for upside — like holding a bond that can turn into stock — and conversion can dilute existing owners and change voting power and future returns.
Form S-3 regulatory
"has filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 to offer from time"
Form S-3 is a legal document companies use to register their stock sales with the government, making it easier and faster for them to raise money by selling shares to investors. It’s like having a pre-approved shopping list that lets a company quickly sell new shares when they need funds, without going through a lengthy approval process each time.
shelf registration statement regulatory
"has filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 to offer from time"
A shelf registration statement is a document a company files with regulators that allows it to sell shares or bonds quickly when it’s a good time to raise money. It’s like having a pre-approved plan ready so the company can act fast without going through lengthy paperwork each time they want to sell, making fundraising more flexible.
Regulation FD regulatory
"The material is furnished under Regulation FD, meaning it is not deemed filed"
Regulation FD is a rule that prevents company insiders, like executives, from sharing important information with some people before others get it. It matters because it helps ensure all investors have equal access to key news, making the stock market fairer and reducing chances of insider trading.
non-GAAP financial
"Adjusted EBITDA** (non-GAAP) | | $1.1 | | $ | (1.6)"
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.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 & Subsequent Highlights: 

  • Ended the third quarter of fiscal 2026 with a record order backlog of approximately $110.6 million, an increase of 196% from $37.4 million as of June 30, 2025, reflecting growing customer demand for infrared cameras, assemblies, and BlackDiamond™ based optical solutions.
  • Acquired the assets of Amorphous Materials, Inc. ("AM") in January 2026, an industrial manufacturer with complementary Chalcogenide glass melting technologies for large diameter optics, adding a second U.S. manufacturing location for BlackDiamond™ glass.
  • Hosted an Investor Day in February 2026, during which management outlined the Company's updated three pillar growth strategy targeting in excess of $300 million in annual revenue within five years, anchored by assemblies, infrared camera systems, and large defense programs.
  • Appointed Doug Schoen as Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Ryan Workman as Vice President, Business Development & Product Management in April 2026, adding more than 40 combined years of defense, aerospace, and Electro-Optical/Infrared business development experience to accelerate conversion of pipeline into contracted revenue.

Management Commentary 

Sam Rubin, President and Chief Executive Officer of LightPath, said: "The third quarter of fiscal 2026 demonstrated continued execution against our vertically integrated strategy, with revenue growing 109% year over year to $19.1 million and gross profit expanding 161% year over year to $7.0 million. We delivered our third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA and ended the quarter with a record order backlog of $110.6 million, up 196% from the start of the fiscal year. The scale and quality of our backlog is the clearest indication yet that LightPath has established itself as a mission critical supplier for some of the most important optical and infrared imaging programs in the U.S. and allied defense industrial base.

"The strategic thesis we have been executing against for the past several years continues to be reinforced by customer behavior and U.S. government policy. The Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act directs the U.S. Department of War to eliminate reliance on optical glass and optical systems sourced from certain foreign nations by January 1, 2030. Our broad offering of BlackDiamond™ chalcogenide glasses, including those licensed exclusively from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, along with our infrared cameras, assemblies, and thermal imaging systems, are already designed, manufactured, and delivered in alignment with those requirements. With the addition of AM, we now operate two U.S. based BlackDiamond™ glass production sites and have expanded our infrared glass portfolio to roughly 20 proprietary compositions, which is among the broadest selection of infrared materials available anywhere.

"Our February Investor Day laid out where we go from here. We are organizing the business around three pillars of growth: optical assemblies, infrared camera systems, and large defense programs of record. Each pillar has an addressable market measured in hundreds of millions to billions of dollars, and each is enabled by the same underlying BlackDiamond™, molding, coating, and camera technologies. Programs such as NGSRI, SPEIR, Apache, border surveillance, and counter UAS are no longer theoretical; they are in production or nearing it, and they increasingly carry BlackDiamond™ content. We are on track to complete the redesign of G5's cooled infrared camera family onto BlackDiamond™ by the end of summer 2026, and beleive that this will position LightPath to meet long range camera demand at scale while competitors continue to work through the Germanium supply constraint.

"With a strong balance sheet, two operating glass manufacturing facilities, an expanded camera portfolio, and a deeper senior commercial leadership team following the appointments of Doug Schoen and Ryan Workman, we believe LightPath is well positioned to continue converting our record backlog into revenue, expand margins as volume scales, and pursue further accretive M&A that accelerates our transition into a platform provider of mission critical optical and imaging solutions," concluded Rubin.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 109% to $19.1 million, as compared to $9.2 million in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Revenue was split amongst the Company's product groups in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and the same quarter of the prior fiscal year as follows:

Gross profit increased 161.1% to $7.0 million, or 36% of total revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared to $2.7 million, or 29% of total revenues, in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by the increase in revenue from assemblies and modules, which generally carry higher margins, as well as an improved infrared component mix and manufacturing yields.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 include a fair value adjustment of $3.4 million related to the G5 earnout liability, which will continue to be adjusted through operating expenses until it is fully paid out. Excluding this amount, operating expenses increased $1.8 million, or 30%, to $7.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared to $6.0 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily driven by integration of G5 Infrared and AM, increased sales and marketing spend, higher information technology spend to meet customer security requirements, and increased SG&A personnel costs.

Net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 totaled $4.1 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, as compared to $3.6 million, or $0.44 per basic and diluted share, in the same year-ago quarter. The year-over-year change in net loss was primarily attributable to the change in fair value of acquisition liabilities for the earnout related to the acquisition of G5 Infrared.

Adjusted EBITDA** for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.1 million, as compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.6 million for the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in gross profit, driven by higher sales, partially offset by increased SG&A and new product development costs.

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 totaled $55.2 million, as compared to $4.9 million as of June 30, 2025. Total backlog as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $110.6 million, an increase of 196% compared to $37.4 million as of June 30, 2025.

**Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding financial results, this press release includes references to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company calculates EBITDA by adjusting net income to exclude net interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation, and amortization. We also calculate adjusted EBITDA, which excludes, as applicable: (1) stock compensation expenses; (2) the loss on extinguishment of debt; (3) the effect of the non-cash income or expense associated with the mark-to-market adjustments, related to the warrants; (4) the effect of non-cash income or expenses associated with the fair value adjustments related to the acquisition earnout liabilities; (5) acquisition costs, including legal fees and due diligence; and (6) the effect of foreign exchange gains or losses.

A "non-GAAP financial measure" is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company's historical or future performance that excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze underlying business operations and understand performance. In addition, management may utilize these non-GAAP financial measures as guides in forecasting, budgeting, and planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP is presented in the table below.

FAQ

LightPath reported $19.1M in revenue and $7.0M gross profit for Q3 FY2026. According to the company, revenue increased 109% year over year and gross profit rose 161% year over year, representing a 36% gross margin.

How large is LightPath's order backlog (LPTH) and why does it matter?

LightPath reported a backlog of $110.6M as of March 31, 2026. According to the company, the backlog grew 196% since June 30, 2025 and indicates contracted demand for infrared cameras, assemblies, and BlackDiamond optics.

What did LightPath announce about acquisitions and manufacturing (LPTH)?

LightPath acquired assets of Amorphous Materials in January 2026, adding a second U.S. BlackDiamond glass production site. According to the company, this expands its chalcogenide glass portfolio and U.S. manufacturing capacity for large optics.

Did LightPath (LPTH) report positive adjusted EBITDA in Q3 FY2026?

Yes. Adjusted EBITDA was reported at $1.1M in Q3 FY2026 versus a $1.6M adjusted EBITDA loss the prior year. According to the company, the improvement was driven by higher gross profit from assemblies and improved component mix.

How did operating expenses affect LightPath's Q3 FY2026 results (LPTH)?

Operating expenses included a $3.4M fair value adjustment related to an earnout, which increased reported operating expenses. According to the company, excluding that adjustment, operating expenses rose 30% to $7.8M due to integrations and increased SG&A.

What financial resources does LightPath (LPTH) have after Q3 FY2026?

LightPath reported cash and cash equivalents of $55.2M as of March 31, 2026. According to the company, the stronger cash position supports backlog conversion, production scale-up, and potential accretive M&A activity.
