Recent Company History

Over the past year, LUCY’s earnings releases have consistently highlighted strong revenue growth and improving gross margins. The prior full-year 2024 report on Mar 25, 2025 showed a 42% revenue increase and margin improvement, but the stock fell. Subsequent Q1–Q3 2025 updates reported rapid sales growth and better margins, yet reactions were mixed, including sharp declines after Q2 and Q3. Today’s full-year 2025 results continue this theme of scaling revenue while remaining loss-making.

ANSI Z87.1+ is a U.S. safety standard for eye and face protection; the Z87.1 marking means the product meets baseline impact and coverage tests, and the "+" indicates it passed higher-impact or more stringent protection tests. Investors should care because certification affects a product’s legal compliance, market access, customer trust and liability exposure—similar to a car having airbag crash-test ratings, higher safety marks can drive sales and reduce regulatory or recall risk.

CSA Z94.3 is a Canadian safety standard that defines performance, testing and labelling requirements for protective eyewear and face shields to guard against impacts, chemical splashes and harmful light. Investors should care because certification acts like a recognized safety “stamp of approval” that lets manufacturers sell into regulated workplaces and healthcare settings, reduces product liability and can drive procurement decisions, affecting sales, margins and market access.

Revenue increased 63% over prior year

Gross Profit Margins increased by 8 percentage points despite tariff headwinds

MIAMI, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative Eyewear Inc., (NASDAQ: LUCY, LUCYW), the developer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd®, Lucyd Armor®, Reebok®, Nautica®, and Eddie Bauer® brands, today announced its full year 2025 financial results.

Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was approximately $2.67 million, an increase of $1.03 million or 63% from the year ended December 31, 2024. This strong year-over-year revenue growth was primarily driven by volume increases from sales of the Company's highly successful Lucyd Armor® smart safety glasses (first launched in October 2024), which represented approximately half of the Company's total smartglass units sold in the current year. The cobranded Reebok® Powered by Lucyd collection, which launched in April 2025, also contributed to the year-over-year volume increases. Total net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was approximately $0.96 million, representing the highest quarterly sales amount since the Company's inception.

Gross profit margin for 2025 was 21%, compared to 13% for 2024. This improvement in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to lower product sourcing costs for both frames and prescription lenses as the Company continues to scale and develop its business. These improvements were partially offset by the negative impacts of tariffs during the current year, as well as provisions for certain excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory. Although tariffs had a negative impact on current year margins, various actions taken by management to help mitigate the impact of tariffs have generally been successful thus far, and by the end of 2025 had largely restored gross profit margins to a level consistent with the Company's pre-tariff business plan expectations. Management continues to monitor international trade policy and develop contingency sourcing options should tariff and international trade conditions materially change.

Total operating expenses in 2025 were approximately $9.06 million, an increase of $0.92 million or 11% from 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher general administrative expenses, which increased by approximately $0.75 million year-over-year primarily due to the combination of higher employee compensation costs as the Company has expanded its team to fuel and support further growth, and higher license fees paid under multi-year cobranded license agreements. Sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately $0.26 million from prior year, primarily driven by increased spending on events and trade shows, as the Company grows and expands its network of potential business partners and retailers.

The Company also recognized approximately $0.90 million of other non-operating income during the current year, primarily driven by the receipt of a $0.57 million settlement payment related to certain legal matters; the remaining amount of other income mainly related to interest and dividends earned on investments in U.S. Treasury bills and money market funds.

The Company's net loss for 2025 was approximately $(7.59) million or $(1.90) per share, compared with $(7.77) million or $(5.19) per share in the prior year, reflecting the Company's continued investment in product development and market expansion to support further growth. Weighted average shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were approximately 3.99 million and 1.50 million, respectively.

The Company ended the year with approximately $6.51 million of combined cash and cash equivalents and investments, compared with $7.52 million of combined cash and cash equivalents and investments as of December 31, 2024. Net working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was $8.39 million at December 31, 2025, and $8.50 million at the end of 2024. The Company had no debt outstanding as of December 31, 2025, and long-term liabilities of only $0.03 million.

The Company generated significant amounts of proceeds from multiple equity offerings during both the current and prior year. Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $6.68 million in 2025 and $10.24 million in 2024.

Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2025, Innovative Eyewear announced several important milestones related to its product portfolio and distribution network, including:

• Launched three additional new variants of the extremely popular Lucyd Armor smart safety glasses, in order to expand the collection to a wider audience and build on the success of the original model with important variations in lens functionality and sizing. The Armor Slim model recently received ANSI certification, enabling it to be sold in the U.S. for safety applications. Lucyd Armor is currently available for purchase in the United States, Canada, and European Union markets, with all necessary safety certifications including ANSI Z87.1+, CSA Z94.3, and EN 16639:2018.
• Launched two new light-adaptive sport smartglass models in the Reebok Powered by Lucyd collection, designed for use in the gym and indoor sports. The Reebok smart eyewear collection offers the Company's most powerful music experience to-date, with an end-to-end overhauled sound system developed with leading audio engineers.
• Announced a new partnership with SmartBuyGlasses, one of the largest global online independent sellers of prescription, standard, and designer eyewear, to provide its Reebok smart eyewear to customers.

Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear Inc., commented, "I am very pleased by our impressive sales growth for the year. We continue our upward trend of outperforming sales each quarter on a year-over-year basis, which we have done every quarter for over two years now. I am also pleased by the overall improvements in our gross profit margin during the year, despite headwinds from tariffs. We plan to build on the continued success and momentum of our most popular product lines, Lucyd Armor® smart safety glasses, Lucyd Lyte®, and Reebok® Powered by Lucyd smartglasses. We are also excited about the potential of international growth and expansion, as we continue to make progress towards building a more globally focused business with significant distribution outside of the U.S. In summary, we believe that we are well positioned to deliver further revenue growth in 2026 and beyond."
