Jun 05 2025 12:30 BST

Revenue grew 14.4% year-over-year to $37.7 million, driven by 16.8% growth in Aerospace and 13.4% growth in Product Identification
Executed on $1.9 million of annualized cost savings in first quarter as part of restructuring plan; expect to complete previously announced $3 million in annualized cost reductions in second quarter of fiscal 2026
Operating income was $0.6 million vs $1.3 million in prior year; Non-GAAP operating income¹ of $1.5 million increased 13.5% over prior-year period
Launched three innovative next-generation printing solutions in Product Identification while capturing renewed $10 million multi-year defense contract for Aerospace
Reaffirms fiscal 2026 revenue and margin expectations with revenue growing to range of $160 million to $165 million and adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to 8.5% to 9.5%

WEST WARWICK, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 5, 2025-- AstroNova, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2026 first quarter ended April 30, 2025. Results include the May 6, 2024, acquisition of MTEX (“MTEX” or “the acquisition”) which has been fully integrated into the Product Identification (“Product ID”) segment.

Greg Woods, President and Chief Executive Officer of AstroNova, stated, “We are executing on our plan to drive growth and improve profitability. Early results were demonstrated in the first quarter as we delivered double-digit growth in the quarter from both segments, driven in part by the contribution of the acquisition, increasing commercial aircraft build rates, demand for digital color label and package printers, as well as shipments related to the recently announced defense contract renewal. We implemented approximately $1.9 million of our previously announced $3 million annualized cost reduction plan. In the second quarter, we expect to realize those reductions and to substantially complete the full cost reduction plan.”

Mr. Woods added, “Importantly, we have made significant progress advancing the new foundational technology gained with the MTEX acquisition. We have re-engineered the acquired technology to incorporate a wide range of improvements that provide a more robust, next-generation print engine solution designed to enhance our customer’s experience while reducing their total cost of ownership. In Product Identification, we expect the combination of our restructured sales organization under new leadership, combined with these highly innovative technological advancements, to gain traction in the market and drive hardware, supplies, and service revenue growth as we increase our installed base.”

Net revenue growth of $4.7 million reflected strength in both the Aerospace and Product Identification segments, which benefitted from a combination of drivers that delivered double digit growth in both segments. Foreign currency translation was a $0.6 million benefit in the quarter.

Gross profit was $12.7 million, or 33.6% of sales. Lower gross margin year-over-year reflects the margin dilution related to the acquisition and product mix.

Operating income was $0.6 million and operating margin for the quarter was 1.5%. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income² increased 13.4% or $0.2 million compared with the first quarter of the prior year. The improvement, which excludes inventory step-up, acquisition and restructuring expenses, was the result of improved operating performance by the Aerospace segment offset by a $1.6 million increase in corporate expenses. The increase in corporate expenses was primarily the result of increased healthcare costs and higher professional fees. Sequentially, adjusted operating income improved 8.4% on relatively similar revenue, reflecting cost containment efforts and early impacts of the restructuring.

Interest expense increased $0.4 million to $0.9 million on higher balances and higher rates related to the financing for the acquisition.

Net loss was $0.4 million, or a loss of $0.05 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income was $0.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. There were no adjustments in the prior-year period. Net profit margin for the fiscal 2026 first quarter was (1.0)% compared with 3.6% and (41.8)% for the first and fourth quarters of fiscal 2025, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA of $3.1 million increased 27.6% compared with the prior-year period and grew 28% compared with the trailing fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fiscal 2026 first quarter expanded 80 basis points both year-over-year and sequentially.

Product Identification Segment Review

Product ID revenue was $26.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with $23.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of 13.4% or $3.1 million. The contribution of $1.4 million from the acquisition, increased demand for legacy desktop label printers of $1.3 million and shipments of $0.4 million of mail & sheet printers out of backlog drove the increase.

Operating income for Product ID was $2.8 million compared with $3.0 million in the prior-year period. Operating margin was 10.6% compared with 12.9% in the prior year period. Non-GAAP segment operating income increased $0.1 million, or 4.4% to $3.1 million after adjusting for $0.3 million of restructuring charges and $0. 1 million related inventory step-up expenses. Non-GAAP operating margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was 11.9%.

Aerospace Segment Review

Aerospace segment revenue was $11.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with $9.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of 16.8%, or $1.6 million. Growth was driven by increased shipments of ToughWriter^® products for both the commercial and defense markets.

Aerospace segment operating profit was $2.8 million, up $1.0 million or 60.5% from the prior year first quarter, based on higher volume.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Cash at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $5.4 million, up $0.3 million from the end of fiscal 2025. The Company paid down $3.7 million in debt, comprised of principal on the term loan and borrowings under its revolving credit facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of its lending agreement at the end of the quarter.

Cash provided by operations in the fiscal 2026 first quarter was $4.4 million, down from $6.9 million in the prior year period. The decline was driven primarily by the timing associated with bulk replenishment of legacy ink, printheads, and media supplies, amounting to $3.0 million. The Company is executing on a plan to improve inventory turns to 3x from current levels of approximately 2x.

Capital expenditures required $60 thousand in the quarter and are expected to be less than $2 million for fiscal 2026.

Orders, Backlog and Fiscal 2026 Outlook

Orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were $34.9 million, up from $33.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The Company’s order backlog was $25.5 million as of April 30, 2025, compared with $28.3 million at the end of fiscal 2025.

Mr. Woods noted, “We expect to benefit from a number of factors as we advance through fiscal 2026 and beyond. These tailwinds include the following:

The multi-year backlogs at commercial aircraft OEMs whose build rates are expected to grow over the next few years
The Aerospace transition from legacy equipment to our ToughWriter^® models which will support proprietary aftermarket revenue growth
The measurable expansion of the total addressable market for our Product Identification segment driven by the new next-generation wider format, higher volume printer solutions we now offer as a result of the MTEX acquisition
The seven significant new product launches planned for fiscal 2026, of which three have been completed

In addition, we expect margin improvement given our restructuring efforts and the streamlining of the organization. And, looking further ahead, we will benefit significantly from the approximately $4 million reduction in royalty payments in fiscal 2028.”

For fiscal 2026, AstroNova continues to expect net revenue in the range of $160 million to $165 million, which is a 7% increase over fiscal 2025 at the mid-point of the range. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be in the range of 8.5% to 9.5%, an 80-basis point expansion over the prior year at the mid-point. The Company’s expected effective tax rate for fiscal 2026 is approximately 25% and depreciation and amortization are expected to be approximately $5 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this news release contains the Non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross profit margin, Non-GAAP operating expenses, Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margin, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income per Common Share - diluted , Non-GAAP segment gross profit, Non-GAAP segment gross profit margin, Non-GAAP segment operating income, Non-GAAP segment operating income margin Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. AstroNova believes that the inclusion of these Non-GAAP financial measures helps investors gain a meaningful understanding of changes in the Company’s core operating results and can help investors who wish to make comparisons between AstroNova and other companies on both a GAAP and a Non-GAAP basis. AstroNova’s management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring its core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of its competitors. These measures are also used by the Company’s management to assist with their financial and operating decision-making. Please refer to the financial reconciliation table included in this news release for a reconciliation of the Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three months ended April 30, 2025, January 31, 2025 and April 27, 2024.

AstroNova has not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA growth percentage included in its fiscal 2026 financial targets and outlook to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the lack of predictability regarding cost of sales, operating expenses, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. The impact of any of these items, individually or in the aggregate, may be significant.
