The earnings call highlighted revenue growth and potential from new orders and initiatives. However, significant challenges with MTEX integration, increased expenses, and cash flow issues overshadow these positives.
Company Guidance
During the AstroNova Q3 2025 earnings call, the company provided guidance on various performance metrics and strategic initiatives. The total revenue for the third quarter increased nearly 8%, driven by growth in the Test and Measurement (T&M) segment, specifically the aerospace product line, despite a delay caused by a two-month strike impacting shipments. The Product Identification (PI) segment experienced a 1% revenue decline, largely due to the ongoing integration challenges with the MTEX NS acquisition, which resulted in an operating loss of $1.1 million on $1.7 million in revenue. Gross profit margin fell to 33.9% from 39.4% in the previous year, attributed to lower margins at MTEX and a less favorable sales mix. The company has undertaken a cost reduction and product line rationalization initiative to improve margins and enhance competitive positioning. AstroNova suspended fiscal '25 and '26 guidance due to the extended MTEX integration timeline and plans to provide longer-term targets in March. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $3.2 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.06, compared to $0.37 in the prior year.
Revenue Growth
Total revenue increased nearly 8% in the third quarter, driven largely by the aerospace product line within the Test & Measurement segment.
Aerospace Product Line Performance
Test & Measurement segment revenue increased 28.2% from the prior year period to $14.1 million, primarily due to the aerospace product line.
Inkjet Printer Order
In fiscal Q4, a large inkjet printer order began shipping, expected to contribute several million dollars to the PI segment's top line over the next several quarters.
Cost Reduction and Product Rationalization Initiative
A company-wide initiative is underway to reduce expenses and refine the product portfolio, with early progress indicated by significant new orders.
