Insights

Orion shows clear progress toward profitability, with guidance implying continued growth.

Orion Energy Systems delivered meaningful operating improvement in FY 2026. Revenue increased to $86.3M from $79.7M, while gross margin expanded to 32.6% from 25.4%, reflecting pricing and cost improvements across all segments. Adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $2.2M versus a $2.9M loss.

The business mix helped: LED lighting revenue rose to $55.9M, while maintenance revenue inched up and EV charging declined modestly year over year. Management highlighted six consecutive quarters of positive adjusted EBITDA and a structural reset that kept quarterly gross margins above 30% throughout FY 2026.

Looking ahead, Orion reiterated FY 2027 expectations for revenue between $95M and $97M and positive adjusted EBITDA, supported by a $30M backlog as of the start of the year. Execution on large contracts, EV charging demand, and maintaining gross margin near current levels will be important to track in subsequent fiscal 2027 disclosures.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"The Company achieved FY’26 adjusted EBITDA of $2.2, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(2.9) in FY’25."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
backlog financial
"Starting FY’27 with a backlog of $30M — a year-over-year increase of $13M…"
A backlog is the amount of work or orders that a company has received but hasn't completed yet. It’s like a restaurant with many dishes to serve; the backlog shows how many orders are still waiting to be finished. It matters because a large backlog can indicate strong demand or potential delays in delivering products or services.
revolving credit facility financial
"Orion also paid down $4 on its revolving credit facility in FY’26, bringing outstanding borrowings to $3…"
A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.
Non-GAAP measures financial
"In addition to the GAAP results included in this presentation, Orion has also included the non-GAAP measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA."
Financial results that companies present using formulas or adjustments different from standard accounting rules (GAAP) to highlight what management considers the business’s ongoing performance. Investors care because these figures can make trends or profitability look clearer—like showing a car’s fuel efficiency after removing unusual trips—but they can also hide one‑time costs or aggressive assumptions, so comparing them with GAAP numbers helps judge reliability.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"Certain matters discussed in this press release are "forward-looking statements" intended to qualify for the safe harbor…"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
Q4 2026 revenue $25.7M +23% YoY
FY 2026 revenue $86.3M +8% YoY
FY 2026 net loss $(3.2)M improved from $(11.8)M
FY 2026 adjusted EBITDA $2.2M from $(2.9)M
FY 2027 revenue guidance $95M–$97M up about 12% vs FY 2026
Guidance

Orion expects FY 2027 revenue between $95M and $97M with positive adjusted EBITDA, supported by a $30M backlog at the fiscal year’s start.

Orion Reports FY 2026 Revenue of $86M and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.2M After Continued Growth in Q4;

Reiterates FY 2027 Expectation of $95M-$97M in Revenue and Positive Adjusted EBITDA

 

Manitowoc, WI – June 4, 2026 – Orion Energy Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OESX) (Orion Lighting), a provider of energy-efficient LED lighting, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and maintenance services solutions, today reported improved results for its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter (Q4’26) and full fiscal year 2026 (FY’26) ended March 31, 2026.

 

Orion’s Q4’26 revenue was $25.7M versus $20.9M in Q4’25 — a 23% increase — while Q4’26 gross margin was up by 950 basis points year-over-year, at 37.0% versus 27.5% in Q4’25. The Company improved its net loss in Q4’26 to $1.5M, compared to a net loss of $2.9M in Q4’25. The Company achieved Q4’26 adjusted EBITDA of $0.8M — marking its sixth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA – compared to adjusted EBITDA of $0.2M in Q4’25.

 

For the full fiscal year of FY’26, Orion’s revenue was $86.3M versus $79.7M in FY’25, while FY’26 gross margin was 32.5% vs. 25.4% in FY’25. The Company improved its net loss in FY’26 to $3.2M, compared to a net loss of $11.8M in FY’25. The Company achieved FY’26 adjusted EBITDA of $2.2M, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(2.9M) in FY’25.

 

Each quarter of FY’26 delivered gross margins above 30%, a level of performance not previously seen. This is a result of Orion’s structural reset, which it expects to be continually beneficial moving forward. Similarly, revenue — which came in at the high end of our FY’26 public guidance range — continues to grow as we enter FY’27.

 

The Company continues to execute on its plan and build momentum in the current fiscal year. Starting FY’27 with a backlog of $30M — a year-over-year increase of $13M, Orion reiterated its expectations of positive adjusted EBITDA on revenue of between $95 million and $97 million in FY’27, which began April 1, 2026, up 12% over FY’26.

 

The Company said that its increasing expectations for the current fiscal year were validated by a number of factors. The ongoing improvement in the quality and size of its backlog is a result of continued project demand and growing opportunities within many of the Company’s revenue segments.

 

“The results we are reporting today — highlighted by our sixth straight quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA — validate an observation I have made previously: Orion is demonstrably on a profitable growth path,” said Orion’s Chief Executive Officer, Sally Washlow, who recently completed her first year as CEO. “Our FY’26 results and FY’27 expectations speak clearly to the success of a continuously improving sales funnel, organic growth from large customers, a resilient and adaptable proprietary supply chain and highly disciplined cost containment. We expect FY’27 to demonstrate that Orion is emerging robustly from a turnaround to a sustainable growth company.”

 

Orion is providing adjusted EBITDA guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, the amounts of which, based on historical experience, could be significant. For additional information regarding Orion’s non-GAAP measures, see the related explanation presented under “Non-GAAP Measures.”

 

Orion is scheduled to discuss these results in an investor call today at 10:00 a.m. ET (details below).

Commentary from CEO Sally Washlow

 

“It is extremely gratifying to complete my first year as CEO of Orion. In the space of a year, we have gone from a turnaround to a growth company. We have maintained our Nasdaq listing, strengthened our balance sheet, completed our Voltrek earnout payments, extended our credit agreement and embarked on a demonstrable trajectory of profitable growth and margin expansion.

 

“We have seen both growth and resilience in new and existing large customers in the automotive, retail and public sectors. Deployments of LED lighting have become bigger and more numerous, illustrating customer relationships that have broadened and deepened.

 

“We expect continued growth in revenue and profitability in FY’27.

 

“Growth, increasing profitability and continued market expansion are our expected themes for FY’27. As I’ve said before: I expect it, our team expects it and our shareholders expect it.

 

“And as I mark the completion of my inaugural year as Orion’s Chief Executive Officer, I’d like to express my sincere appreciation to our shareholders, partners and employees for your continued support of our company.” said Ms. Washlow.

Q4’26 and FY’26 Financial Results

 

Orion’s Q4’26 revenue was $25.7M versus $20.9M in Q4’25, while Q4’26 gross margin was 37.0% versus 27.5% in Q4’25. The Company’s net loss in Q4’26 improved to $1.5M versus a net loss of $2.9M in Q4’25. The Company achieved Q4’26 adjusted EBITDA of $0.8M — marking its sixth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA — compared to adjusted EBITDA of $0.2M in Q4’25. Orion’s Q4’26 revenue included $1.3M associated with amending a solar energy contract that had no associated cost of goods.

 

Orion’s FY’26 revenue was $86.3M versus $79.7M in FY’25, while FY’26 gross margin was 32.6% versus 25.4% in FY’25. The Company’s net loss in FY’26 improved to $3.2M, compared to a net loss of $11.8M in FY’25. The Company achieved FY’26 adjusted EBITDA of $2.2M, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $(2.9M) in FY’25.

 

Orion also reported the following segment performance:

LED lighting revenue increased approximately 86% to $20.3M in Q4’26 compared to $10.9M in Q4’25, and $55.9M in FY’26 compared to $47.7M in FY ’25, reflecting increased large project activity. Orion’s expanded project pipeline, as well as efforts to drive growth in its distribution business, contributed to higher FY’26 LED lighting revenue compared to FY’25.
Maintenance services revenue decreased 23% to $3.2M in Q4’26 from $4.1M in Q4’25, and increased 6% to $16.0M in FY’26 from $15.2M in FY’25, reflecting the benefit of new customer contracts, as well as the expansion of certain existing customer relationships.
EV charging solutions revenue was $2.3M in Q4’26 compared to $5.8M in Q4’25, as well as $14.4M in FY’26 compared to $16.8M in FY’25, reflecting the variability in timing of larger projects. Given current uncertainty around the near-term scope, pace and funding availability for EV charging projects, Orion announced previously that it expected recorded segment revenues to be relatively flat to slightly lower in FY’26 vs. FY’25.

Orion’s Q4’26 gross margin was 37.0% versus 27.5% in Q4’25, as well as 32.6% in FY’26 versus 25.4% in FY’25, primarily due to pricing and cost improvements across all three segments.


Total operating expenses increased to $10.3M in Q4’26 from $8.4M in Q4’25, and decreased to $29.7M in FY’26 from $30.8M in FY’25, reflecting ongoing efforts to reduce infrastructure and personnel expenses. Q4’26 operating expenses included $1.7M to reflect the final Voltrek earnout liability, $1.1M for the non-cash write-off of solar assets and a $0.6M loss on extinguishment of subordinated debt.

Primarily reflecting stronger gross margin and lower operating expenses, Orion’s Q4’26 net loss improved to $1.5M, or $0.39 per share, versus a net loss of $2.9M, or $0.88 per share, in Q4’25. Orion’s adjusted EBITDA improved to $0.8M in Q4’26 compared to $0.2M in Q4’25, reflecting the benefit of the Company’s financial discipline. For the full fiscal year, Orion’s FY’26 net loss improved to $3.2M, or $0.89 per share, versus a net loss of $11.8M, or $3.59 per share, in FY’25. Orion’s adjusted EBITDA improved significantly to $2.2M in FY’26, compared to $(2.9M) in FY’25, reflecting the benefit of the Company’s financial discipline

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
 

Orion used $1.1M of cash in operating activities in FY'26 versus operating activities providing $0.6M in cash in FY’25, principally due to significantly improved bottom line results in the current period. Orion also paid down $4.0M on its revolving credit facility in FY’26, bringing outstanding borrowings to $3.0M as of the end of FY’26.

 

Orion ended the quarter and the full fiscal year with current assets of $37.7M, including $3.3M of cash, $16.3M of accounts receivable, $6.4M of revenue earned but not billed, and $10.3M of inventories. Net of current liabilities, working capital was $11.0M at March 31, 2026, compared to $8.7M at March 31, 2025. Orion’s financial liquidity at March 31, 2026 was $15.4M as compared to $13.0M at year-end FY’25. In addition, Orion recently extended the maturity date of its revolving credit facility from June 30, 2027, to June 30, 2030.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the GAAP results included in this presentation, Orion has also included the non-GAAP measures, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs, deferred financing costs, restructuring and severance costs, asset impairment and, earnout expenses). The Company has provided these non-GAAP measures to help investors better understand its core operating performance, enhance comparisons of core operating performance from period to period, and allow better comparisons of operating performance to its competitors. Among other things, management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of the business and believes these measurements enable it to make better period-to-period evaluations of the financial performance of core business operations. The non-GAAP measurements are intended only as a supplement to the comparable GAAP measurements and Orion compensates for the limitations inherent in the use of non-GAAP measurements by using GAAP measures in conjunction with the non-GAAP measurements. As a result, investors should consider these non-GAAP measurements in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Consistent with Regulation G under the U.S. federal securities laws, the non-GAAP measures in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measures, and this reconciliation is located under the heading “Unaudited EBITDA Reconciliation” following the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this press release.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from those expected, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) our ability to achieve our budgeted fiscal 2027 revenue expectations, and related public fiscal 2027 revenue guidance, will have a significant impact on our cash flow and stock price and ability to fund our operations and satisfy our debt obligations; (ii) we are currently implementing a new ERP system, which will involve substantial cost and potential disruption to our normal operations; our inability to successfully manage the implementation of our new ERP system could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and otherwise negatively affect our financial reporting and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; (iii) government tariffs and other actions have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business, resulting in increased costs and reduced gross margins; (iv) the reduction or elimination of incentives from the United States government for investments in electric vehicle (“EV”) charging infrastructure may reduce demand for public EV charging products, in addition to reducing overall demand for EVs; (v) we do not have major sources of recurring revenue, a substantial portion of our revenues is derived from major project-based retrofit work that is awarded through a competitive bid process and we depend upon a limited number of customers in any given period to generate a substantial portion of our revenue, and it is generally difficult to predict the timing of projects that will be awarded, which can impact our ability to achieve our expected financial results; (vi) the reduction of revenue from our most significant customer over the past several fiscal years has had, and the potential future loss of other significant customers or a major customer would likely have, a materially adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows; (xiii) the reduction or elimination of investments in, or incentives to adopt, light emitting diode (“LED”) lighting or the elimination of, or changes in, policies, incentives or rebates in certain states or countries that encourage the use of LEDs over some traditional lighting technologies, including due to federal funding restrictions in the United States, could cause the demand for our lighting products to slow; (vii) we are experiencing ongoing increasing pressures to reduce the average selling price of our products and related negative impact on our gross margins, driven largely by the ongoing increase in competition from foreign competitors; (viii) our products use components and raw materials that may be subject to price fluctuations, shortages or interruptions of supply, particularly resulting from tariffs and other trade restrictions; (ix) we increasingly rely on third-party manufacturers for the manufacture and development of our products and product components; (x) we are subject to the risk of a cybersecurity breach; (xi) macroeconomic pressures in the markets in which we operate may adversely affect our financial results; (xii) adverse conditions in the global economy, including due to changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, have negatively impacted, and could in the future negatively impact, our customers, suppliers and business; (xiii) the success of our LED lighting retrofit solutions depends, in part, on our ability to claim market share away from our competitors; and (xiv) the other risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made herein are made only as of the date of this press release and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. More detailed information about factors that may affect our performance may be found in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at http://www.sec.gov or at http://investor.oriones.com in the Investor Relations section of our website.
