Momentum update: preliminary fiscal fourth-quarter revenue up 129% sequentially, gross margin more than triples, and new orders across defense, aerospace and security

• Preliminary, unaudited fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of approximately $1.81 million, up 129% from the preceding quarter and above the top of the Company’s guidance range
• Gross margin of approximately 44.5%, more than triple the 12.9% of the preceding quarter
• Initial production order supporting the F-16 Fighting Falcon
• New six-figure production orders for engine-system components spanning U.S. fighter jets and wide-body commercial aircraft

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Mobix Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBX), a U.S.-based provider of mission-critical aerospace and defense electronics, today issued a momentum update covering the past 120 days. Over that period the Company more than doubled its quarterly revenue on a sequential basis, restored its gross margin and announced new orders across defense, commercial aerospace and security.

Said It, Then Beat It

On August 17, Mobix Labs guided to fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $1.4 million to $1.8 million, or approximately 100% sequential growth at the midpoint. On September 24, the Company said it expected to exceed the $1.6 million midpoint. Preliminary, unaudited results announced November 10 came in above the top of the range, at approximately $1.81 million, up 129% from $789,000 in the preceding quarter.

Product revenue rose approximately 171%. GAAP gross margin expanded to approximately 44.5% from 12.9%, and GAAP operating loss narrowed approximately 11%. Earlier in the fiscal year, working capital constraints limited the Company’s ability to buy components, build inventory and fill customer orders. Progress on those constraints allowed production and shipments to increase during the quarter.

The recovery was balanced across both of the Company’s operating businesses. EMI Solutions, which supplies EMI-filtered connectors for military and commercial aircraft, and RaGE Systems, which builds wireless systems, each contributed to the quarter’s growth. Higher-margin shipments from RaGE Systems were the primary driver of the improvement in gross margin.

Defense: A New Fighter Platform and a Move into the Engine

In September, Mobix Labs secured its initial production order for components supporting the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The EMI-filtered connectors are manufactured by the Company’s EMI Solutions unit at its military-approved facility in Irvine, California. The order followed an approximately five-fold increase in orders supporting the F-22 Raptor announced earlier in the year.

In November, the Company announced new six-figure production orders from a tier-one global aerospace and defense supplier for engine-system components used across multiple U.S. fighter jet platforms and wide-body commercial aircraft. Mobix Labs’ custom connectors protect engine control and monitoring electronics from electromagnetic interference.

Mobix Labs components now support the F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II and F/A-18 Super Hornet.

Beyond Fighters: Security Sensing and Business Aviation

In September, the Company announced a multi-unit follow-on production order of more than $1 million for threat-detection sensor subsystems from a leading security-technology provider. The same month, it announced a repeat production order for approximately 1,500 components for Gulfstream aircraft.

“In August we said fiscal fourth-quarter revenue would roughly double. It grew 129%,” said Phil Sansone, Chief Executive Officer of Mobix Labs. “Gross margin recovered to nearly 45%, and we added new positions on America’s frontline fighter programs. We have more work to do, and we expect continued revenue growth as we build on this recovery.”

Outlook

Management expects continued revenue growth as Mobix Labs builds on its fourth-quarter operating improvements and pursues opportunities across its aerospace, defense and mission-critical markets. The Company’s ability to sustain its recovery will depend in part on the availability of working capital, continued access to critical components, manufacturing capacity, customer demand and timely fulfillment of customer orders.

Key Terms

gaap financial

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements.

working capital financial

Working capital is the money a business has available to cover its daily expenses, like paying bills and buying supplies. It’s like the cash in your wallet that helps you handle everyday costs; having enough ensures the business can operate smoothly without running into money shortages.

electromagnetic interference technical

Electromagnetic interference is unwanted electric or magnetic energy that disrupts the normal operation of electronic devices, like static on a radio or someone speaking over a phone call. It matters to investors because interference can reduce product reliability, trigger regulatory testing or recalls, raise development and compliance costs, and hurt sales or reputation—any of which can affect a company’s revenue and risk profile.

radio-frequency technical

Radio-frequency describes electromagnetic waves in the portion of the spectrum used to carry energy or signals for things like wireless communication, medical devices, and industrial equipment. Investors should care because designs that use radio-frequency determine how well a product works, whether it meets safety and regulatory rules, and how crowded or protected its market is—much like choosing the right radio channel affects clarity and interference.
