Deeper losses hit Flux Power (NASDAQ: FLUX) in fiscal Q3 2026
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Flux Power Holdings reported a sharp downturn in results for its fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2026. Revenue was $6.6 million, down from $16.7 million a year earlier, as a major material handling customer froze capital spending and broader order patterns became more volatile.
Gross profit was $1.8 million, or 27.3% of revenue, compared with $5.3 million and a 32.0% margin in the prior-year quarter. Operating expenses fell to $4.8 million, a 30% year-over-year decrease after cost-cutting, but the company still posted an operating loss of $3.0 million and a net loss of $3.2 million, or ($0.15) per share.
On a non-GAAP basis, net loss was $2.9 million, or ($0.14) per share, and adjusted EBITDA was negative $2.5 million. Cash was $0.4 million as of March 31, 2026, down from $1.3 million at June 30, 2025, while total liabilities were $21.0 million and stockholders’ equity was $4.6 million.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Sharp deterioration in results and liquidity: Q3 2026 revenue fell to $6.6 million from $16.7 million, operating loss nearly doubled, net loss widened to $3.2 million, and cash declined to $0.4 million against $20.6 million in current liabilities.
Insights
Flux Power’s Q3 shows steep revenue decline, deeper losses and tight liquidity despite cost cuts.
Flux Power delivered Q3 2026 revenue of $6.6 million, down significantly from $16.7 million a year earlier as a key material handling customer froze capital spending and broader order timing weakened. Gross profit fell to $1.8 million and margin slipped to 27.3% from 32.0%.
Management cut operating expenses by 30% year-over-year to $4.8 million, mainly through headcount reductions and a streamlined operating model. Even so, operating loss widened to $3.0 million, and GAAP net loss increased to $3.2 million versus $1.9 million in Q3 2025. Adjusted EBITDA was a negative $2.5 million, showing weaker underlying performance.
Liquidity is a concern: cash was only $0.4 million at March 31, 2026, down from $1.3 million at June 30, 2025, against current liabilities of $20.6 million. Management cites plans to drive OEM volume, leverage cost reductions and targets about 20% sequential revenue growth in Q4 2026, but actual progress will depend on order recovery and access to credit facilities described in the risk factors.

Flux Power Reports 2026 Fiscal Third Quarter Financial Results
Vista, CA — May 7, 2026 — Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLUX) (“Flux Power” or the “Company”), a leading developer of advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions and software-driven electrification for commercial and industrial equipment, today reported financial and operational results for the 2026 fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Third Quarter and Recent Business Highlights
| ● | Third quarter revenue was $6.6 million | |
| ● | Implemented additional cost reduction actions, resulting in quarterly operating expenses decreasing 30% year-over-year | |
| ● | Won Innovation in Sustainability Award at MODEX 2026 from a distinguished panel of industry experts, highlighting Flux Power’s leadership in clean energy solutions for the material handling industry | |
| ● | Engaging with more OEMs and optimized OEM pricing structure for white-label products improving competitiveness and securing increased volume commitments | |
| ● | Added new large cargo airline customer with a $1.2 million battery order for its material handling equipment |
CEO Commentary
“As expected, third quarter revenue was impacted mainly by our most significant material handling customer implementing a capital freeze and dynamic order patterns across the business,” said Krishna Vanka, Flux Power’s CEO. “Additionally, the onset of the geopolitical tensions towards the end of the quarter resulted in fuel price increases that unexpectedly delayed some customer order decisions.
“In response to these near-term challenges, we promptly implemented additional expense reduction actions to maintain our lean cost structure and to enhance future operating leverage. We have also taken steps to optimize our pricing structure to drive OEM volume purchases, enhance our sales organization with new leadership focused on OEM growth and expand our marketing outreach initiatives and brand awareness. We also had an extremely successful MODEX trade show winning a coveted industry Sustainability Award, while also meeting with many customers, partners and OEMs in our booth.
“As a result of these proactive efforts, we have seen other positive indications of increased order activity across the business that we believe point to renewed sequential revenue growth of about 20% in our fourth quarter. Looking longer-term, we remain focused on executing our strategic initiatives and capitalizing on the many opportunities in the global lithium-ion battery industry, which continues to grow at an increasing rate across the markets we serve.”
2026 Fiscal Third Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2026 was $6.6 million, compared to $16.7 million in the same quarter a year ago. Gross profit for the third fiscal quarter of 2026 was $1.8 million, or 27.3% of revenue, compared to $5.3 million, or 32.0% of revenue, in the third fiscal quarter of 2025.
Operating expenses for the third quarter were $4.8 million, compared to $6.9 million in the same quarter a year ago. The year-over-year decline in operating expenses primarily reflects recent actions taken to reduce headcount and streamline the operating model.
Operating loss for the third quarter was $3.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $1.6 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2025. Excluding costs associated with stock-based compensation, the third quarter non-GAAP operating loss was $2.8 million, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $0.8 million in the prior year quarter, which also excluded costs associated with the multi-year restatement of previously issued financial statements.
Net loss for the third quarter was $3.2 million, or ($0.15) per share, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million, or ($0.12) per share, in the third fiscal quarter of 2025. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the above-referenced stock-based compensation costs, the third quarter net loss was $2.9 million, or ($0.14) per share, compared to net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.07) per share, in the same quarter a year ago, which also excluded the above-referenced restatement costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Flux Power has presented in this release certain financial information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and also on a non-GAAP basis, including non-GAAP net operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, and adjusted EBITDA.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with Flux Power’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provide useful information about Flux Power’s period-over-period results. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management believes they provide additional information with respect to the performance of Flux Power’s fundamental business activities and adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. Flux Power also relies on adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of the Company and its management team.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or construed as a substitute for, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP for the purpose of analyzing Flux Power’s operating performance or financial position. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the tables at the end of this release.
