Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LightPath Technologies reported a sharp jump in business for its fiscal 2026 second quarter, but still posted a larger loss. Revenue doubled to $16.4 million from $7.4 million, driven mainly by strong growth in higher-value assemblies and modules and contributions from the G5 Infrared acquisition.

Gross profit rose to $6.0 million, lifting gross margin to 37% from 26%, as the mix shifted toward more profitable products and prior manufacturing issues were resolved. However, operating expenses climbed to $14.6 million, including a non-cash $7.6 million increase in the G5 earnout liability, leading to a net loss of $9.4 million, or $0.20 per share.

On an adjusted basis, adjusted EBITDA improved to a positive $0.6 million from a loss of $1.3 million, reflecting stronger underlying operations. The company highlighted a $97.8 million order backlog and ongoing strategic shift toward proprietary BlackDiamond™ glass and NDAA-compliant infrared systems, supported by recent acquisitions and a significantly stronger cash position.

Positive

  • Revenue and margin surge: Quarterly revenue grew 120% to $16.4 million, with gross profit up to $6.0 million and gross margin improving from 26% to 37%, driven by higher-value assemblies and improved infrared component performance.
  • Underlying profitability improves: Adjusted EBITDA swung to a positive $0.6 million from a $(1.3) million loss a year earlier, reflecting stronger core operations despite higher SG&A and development spending.
  • Balance sheet strengthened: Cash and cash equivalents increased to $73.6 million from $4.9 million, supported by a $65.3 million public equity placement and $7.9 million private placement, boosting total stockholders’ equity to $77.9 million.
  • Strong backlog and strategic positioning: Management reported a $97.8 million order backlog and emphasized NDAA-compliant optical and infrared systems, supported by the G5 and AMI acquisitions and the shift toward proprietary BlackDiamond™ glass.

Negative

  • GAAP losses widen sharply: Net loss increased to $(9.4) million, or $(0.20) per share, versus $(2.6) million previously, driven largely by a $7.6 million non-cash increase in the G5 earnout liability and higher operating expenses.
  • Operating cost base much higher: Total operating expenses rose to $14.6 million from $4.4 million, even excluding the earnout adjustment they increased about 60% to $7.1 million, reflecting integration of acquisitions, higher sales and marketing, and increased personnel costs.

Insights

Explosive growth and cash build, but GAAP losses remain driven by acquisition accounting.

LightPath Technologies delivered very strong top-line growth with revenue up $16.4 million versus $7.4 million, a 120% increase. Mix shifted toward higher-margin assemblies and modules, where revenue climbed from $0.9 million to $7.2 million, helping gross margin expand from 26% to 37%.

Despite better operations, reported profitability was heavily affected by non-cash items. Operating expenses reached $14.6 million, including a $7.6 million change in fair value of acquisition liabilities related to G5. That drove net loss to $(9.4) million, or $(0.20) per share, even though adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $0.6 million.

The balance sheet changed materially. Cash and cash equivalents rose to $73.6 million from $4.9 million, mainly from a public equity placement of $65.3 million and a private placement of $7.9 million. Total stockholders’ equity increased to $77.9 million. Together with a $97.8 million order backlog and NDAA-aligned product positioning, this provides substantial financial and strategic capacity, while actual earnings will depend on managing higher SG&A and integration of G5 and AMI.

Received a $4.8 million purchase order from an existing customer related to the supply of advanced IR camera systems for public safety applications, for delivery in the Company's 2026 fiscal year.

 

 

Appointed former Luminar manufacturing executive Israel Piergiovanni as Vice President of Manufacturing to scale production across LightPath's domestic and international footprint.

 

 

Appointed defense industry executive Mark Caylor, former President of Northrop Grumman's Mission Systems Sector, to the Board of Directors, bringing extensive defense industry expertise as LightPath evolves into a mission-critical optics supplier of choice to allied militaries.

 

 

Fortified balance sheet with a $60 million public offering of common stock in December 2025, with net proceeds supporting working capital, strategic investments, acquisitions and general corporate purposes.

 

Management Commentary

 

Sam Rubin, Chief Executive Officer of LightPath, said: "The second quarter of 2026 was underscored by our accelerating revenue growth on strong orders, and the recent acquisition of Amorphous Materials. Ongoing order momentum and the addition of G5 Infrared LLC's ("G5") sales of cameras and modules drove a 120% revenue improvement to a record $16.4 million for the quarter. Our $97.8 million order backlog as of the end of the second quarter is demonstrating our position as a leading pure-play provider of high value optical and imaging systems.

 

 

“Our strategy continues to be validated not only by our sales growth, but the increasing focus by the U.S. government and Department of War to eliminate reliance on certain optical components, including optical systems or strategies from certain foreign nations. The recent passage of the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) directed the US Department of War to develop and implement a strategy by January 1, 2030, to eliminate reliance on optical glass and optical systems sourced from certain foreign nations. These restrictions extend beyond finished systems to include critical materials such as optical glass, making supply chain transparency and material provenance increasingly central to defense and aerospace program compliance. Our optical assemblies, infrared cameras, and thermal imaging systems have already been designed, manufactured, and delivered in alignment with NDAA requirements. Faced with growing supply chain risks and increased defense spending in the U.S. and Europe, we believe we are positioned as a trusted supplier for mission-critical defense applications.

 

“We further reinforced our domestic glass manufacturing capabilities with the recent acquisition of the assets of AMI, a U.S. based manufacturer of complementary chalcogenide glass technologies. This acquisition added incremental glass melting technology, which melts high-grade glass as large diameter plates, critical for large optics, and in particular for advanced defense and space programs. The acquisition also added glass melting capacity and a second, NDAA compliant manufacturing location for BlackDiamond glass. The acquisition further solidifies our transition from a pure component provider to a truly vertically integrated provider of subsystems and solutions for IR imaging.

 

“As we progress into calendar year 2026 we remain highly focused on further growing our robust $97.8 million order backlog, converting our prospective customer pipeline into orders, and scaling deliveries. We continue to intentionally shift away from Germanium optics, expanding the adoption of our proprietary BlackDiamond™ glass across critical defense markets, while continuing to move up the value chain into fully integrated IR camera systems. G5’s high-end cooled infrared camera product line and several established programs of record continue to contribute to revenue growth. As we combine our growing camera portfolio with AMI's highly complementary large-diameter glass capabilities, we believe that we will create a robust offering of IR materials and optics in the industry today, all of which we expect will be compliant with the latest NDAA requirement for U.S. produced glass and optics. Taken together, we believe we are well positioned to execute on our growth strategy to deliver sustainable revenue growth and value to our shareholders.”

 

Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results

 

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 120% to $16.4 million, as compared to $7.4 million in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Revenue was split amongst the Company’s product groups in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and the same quarter of the prior fiscal year as follows:

 

Product Group Revenue ($ in millions)**

 

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026

Infrared ("IR") Components

  $ 7.2     $ 0.9       741 %

Engineering Services

  $ 0.7     $ 0.7       (2 )%

 

*** Numbers may not foot due to rounding

 

Gross profit increased 212% to $6.0 million, or 37% of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $1.9 million, or 26% of total revenues, in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is primarily driven by the increase in revenue from assemblies and modules, which generally have higher margins. Gross margin on engineering services was also more favorable in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 due to a non-recurring engineering project for a defense customer. In addition, gross margins for infrared components have improved due to a more favorable mix, and the resolution of certain manufacturing yield issues that negatively impacted the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

 

 

 

Operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 includes the fair value adjustment of $7.6 million related to the G5 earnout liability, which will continue to be adjusted through operating expenses until it is paid out. Excluding this amount, operating expenses increased $2.6 million, or 60%, to $7.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared to $4.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to the integration of G5 following its acquisition earlier this year, as well as increased sales and marketing spend to promote new products. Our SG&A personnel costs have also increased due to filling certain vacant executive roles and accruing for incentive compensation plans for employees.

 

Net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 totaled $9.4 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, as compared to $2.6 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, in the same year-ago quarter. The year-over-year increase in net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was primarily attributable to the change in fair value of acquisition liabilities for the earnout related to the acquisition of G5.

 

Adjusted EBITDA* for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $0.6 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.3 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.

**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; and (5) 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

How did LightPath Technologies (LPTH) perform in its fiscal Q2 2026?

LightPath Technologies more than doubled quarterly revenue to $16.4 million from $7.4 million. Gross margin improved to 37%, but net loss widened to $(9.4) million, or $(0.20) per share, mainly due to higher operating expenses and acquisition-related fair value adjustments.

What drove LightPath Technologies’ 120% revenue growth in Q2 2026?

The 120% revenue growth to $16.4 million was driven by strong orders, contributions from G5 Infrared, and a shift toward higher-value assemblies and modules. Assemblies and modules revenue increased from $0.9 million to $7.2 million, significantly boosting overall sales and margins compared to the prior year quarter.

Why did LightPath Technologies’ net loss increase despite higher revenue?

Net loss rose to $(9.4) million mainly because operating expenses jumped to $14.6 million. This included a non-cash $7.6 million fair value increase in G5 acquisition earnout liabilities, alongside higher SG&A and development costs, offsetting the benefits of stronger gross profit in the quarter.

What is LightPath Technologies’ adjusted EBITDA for fiscal Q2 2026?

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was a positive $0.6 million, compared with a $(1.3) million adjusted EBITDA loss a year earlier. This metric excludes stock-based compensation, debt extinguishment loss, acquisition earnout fair value changes, and foreign exchange effects to highlight underlying operating performance.

How strong is LightPath Technologies’ balance sheet after Q2 2026?

The balance sheet strengthened markedly, with cash and cash equivalents at $73.6 million versus $4.9 million at June 30, 2025. This was driven by a $65.3 million public equity placement and $7.9 million private placement, lifting total stockholders’ equity to $77.9 million and reducing reliance on debt financing.

What role do acquisitions play in LightPath Technologies’ Q2 2026 results?

Acquisitions were central: G5 Infrared contributed camera and module sales, boosting assemblies revenue and backlog, but also added a $7.6 million non-cash earnout fair value increase. The AMI asset acquisition expanded domestic chalcogenide glass capabilities, supporting NDAA-compliant infrared optics and the company’s vertical integration strategy.

What is LightPath Technologies’ order backlog and strategic focus after Q2 2026?

Management highlighted an order backlog of $97.8 million, reflecting demand for infrared cameras, modules, and optical assemblies. The company is shifting away from Germanium optics toward proprietary BlackDiamond™ glass and fully integrated IR systems, aiming to align with NDAA requirements and mission-critical defense applications.
