Rhea-AI Filing Summary

TechPrecision Corporation reported mixed results for its fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2025. Quarterly revenue was $7.1 million, down 7% from $7.6 million, as lower Stadco sales and unfavorable product mix reduced gross profit to $0.4 million and widened the net loss to $1.5 million from $0.8 million.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2026, revenue was $23.6 million, a 4% decline, but cost of revenue fell 12%, lifting gross profit 72% to $3.9 million. The year‑to‑date net loss improved to $1.2 million from $2.9 million as operating performance at Ranor strengthened.

Backlog reached $46.0 million as of December 31, 2025, which management expects to deliver over the next one to three fiscal years with gross margin improvement. Liquidity remains tight, with cash of $0.1 million, negative working capital of $0.5 million, and total debt of $6.7 million on December 31, 2025.

  • None.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Results show weaker Q3 but much stronger year‑to‑date margins amid tight liquidity.

TechPrecision reported softer Q3, with revenue at $7.1M and net loss at $1.5M, hurt by a 10% revenue drop and higher costs at Stadco. Ranor offset some pressure with better project mix and higher gross margin.

Over the first nine months, cost of revenue declined 12% while gross profit rose 72% to $3.9M, cutting the net loss to $1.2M. This reflects productivity gains and improved margin drop‑through, especially at Ranor, despite modestly lower consolidated revenue.

Balance sheet metrics highlight risk: cash was $0.1M, working capital was negative $0.5M, and debt totaled $6.7M as of December 31, 2025, with all debt classified as current due to covenant violations. A $46.0M backlog and management’s expectation of margin improvement over the next one to three fiscal years provide revenue visibility, but execution and financing capacity remain key considerations.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

TechPrecision Corporation Reports Fiscal Year 2026 Third Quarter Financial Results

 

The Company achieves productivity gains for the nine month year-to-date period.

 

Westminster, MA – February 17, 2026– TechPrecision Corporation (NASDAQ: TPCS) (“TechPrecision” or “the Company”), a custom manufacturer of precision, large-scale fabrication components and precision, large-scale machined metal structural components, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025. The components that we manufacture are customer designed and sold to customers in the defense and precision industrial markets. We have two wholly owned subsidiaries that are each reportable segments, Ranor and Stadco.

 

“Our Ranor segment executed on a favorable project mix with improved gross margin and gross profit in the third quarter,” stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision’s Chief Executive Officer. “Stadco revenue decreased by 10% and Stadco cost of revenue increased by 2% year-over-year due to unfavorable product mix. The decreases dropped through to gross profit, and as a result, Stadco reported an operating loss in the third quarter.”

 

“Our consolidated year-to-date results were better as the Company achieved significant productivity gains when compared to the same prior year period, as cost of revenue decreased by 12% and gross profit increase by 72%,” stated Mr. Shen.

 

“Customer confidence remains high with our backlog reaching $46.0 million as of December 31, 2025,” Mr. Shen continued. “We expect to deliver this backlog over the next one to three fiscal years with expectations for gross margin improvement throughout the period.”

 

The following summary compares the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 to the same prior year period:

 

Consolidated Financial Results - Fiscal 2026 Three Months Ended December 31, 2025

 

· Revenue was $7.1 million, a 7% decrease primarily on lower revenue at Stadco.
· Cost of revenue was $6.7 million, a 1% increase as Stadco was impacted by unfavorable product mix.  
· Gross profit was $0.4 million, a decrease of 62% as lower revenue at Stadco impacted operating results.
· SG&A increased by 3% as an increase in compensation more than offset a decrease in advisory and office costs.
· Operating losses increased, primarily due to the Stadco revenue decline and lower margin drop-through.
· Interest expense decreased by 18%, due primarily to lower scheduled interest payments on term loans.
· Net loss was $1.5 million, compared with net loss $0.8 million in the same period a year ago.  

 

Consolidated Financial Results - Fiscal 2026 Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025

· Cost of revenue was $19.7 million, or a 12% decrease primarily on favorable product mix at Ranor and Stadco.
