Insights

Financial Analyst

Lantronix shows modest Q4 performance with strategic repositioning toward high-margin Edge AI and defense markets despite overall challenging year.

Lantronix delivered $28.8 million in Q4 revenue, closing fiscal 2025 with $122.9 million in annual revenue. While the company posted a GAAP loss of ($0.07) per share for Q4 and ($0.29) for the full year, its non-GAAP profitability remains intact at $0.01 EPS for Q4 and $0.14 for the full year.

This earnings report reveals a strategic pivot rather than strong financial performance. Management characterized 2025 as a "year of strategic transformation" focused on operational discipline and targeted investments in high-value markets. The 0-7% growth implied by Q1 FY2026 guidance ($28.5-30.5 million) suggests modest near-term expansion.

What's particularly notable is Lantronix's evolution toward higher-margin defense and Edge AI applications. The company secured a significant contract with Teal Drones to power Black Widow drones for the U.S. Army, initiated shipments under the Army's SRR Program, and landed a multi-year deal with a Tier-1 U.S. wireless operator for backup power management. These wins in regulated, compliance-heavy sectors (requiring TAA and NDAA compliance) typically command premium margins and create multi-year revenue visibility.

The strategic leadership expansion with three key hires focused on Out-of-Band Management, Compute Ecosystem strategy, and Project Management suggests the company is building organizational capability to execute its higher-value market strategy. The projected non-GAAP EPS improvement to $0.02-0.04 for Q1 FY2026 indicates the company expects these strategic shifts to gradually improve profitability despite modest revenue growth.

• Fourth Quarter 2025 Net Revenue of $28.8 Million
• Fourth Quarter 2025 GAAP EPS of ($0.07)
• Fourth Quarter 2025 Non-GAAP EPS of $0.01

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Lantronix believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information, when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s financial condition and results of operations. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP net loss consists of net loss excluding (i) share-based compensation and the employer portion of withholding taxes on stock grants, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) interest income (expense), (iv) other income (expense), (v) income tax provision (benefit), (vi) restructuring, severance and related charges, (vii) acquisition related costs, (viii) impairment of long-lived assets, (ix) amortization of purchased intangibles, (x) amortization of manufacturing profit in acquired inventory, (xi) fair value remeasurement of earnout consideration, and (xii) loss on extinguishment of debt.

Non-GAAP EPS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP EPS, the calculation of GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, which for GAAP purposes is treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.

Guidance on earnings per share growth is provided only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of certain items that have been excluded from the forward-looking non-GAAP measures, and a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP guidance has not been provided because certain factors that are materially significant to Lantronix’s ability to estimate the excluded items are not accessible or estimable on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort.
