CEO Commentary

“The third quarter of fiscal 2025 was underscored by revenue and margin momentum as we expanded products and software to support the new orders reflecting an industry wide shift to lithium-ion solutions,” said Krishna Vanka, Flux Power’s CEO. “Increasing demand in material handling and ground support markets drove unit growth of 10% and 25% respectively during the quarter. At a longer time horizon, over the last calendar year, six new large North American airlines have placed purchase orders totaling over $6 million with more orders expected this year, and approximately $20 million in total GSE orders. Further fueled by an open order backlog of $16.9 million as of March 31, 2025, we are well positioned to benefit from the transition to a cleaner, more efficient lithium-ion powered solutions.

“As the shift toward electrification across a range of industrial and commercial sectors continues, we are ideally positioned with higher performance lithium-ion battery packs and software solutions to meet customer needs and fuel our growth. We are shaping the future of intelligent energy solutions, where every battery functions as part of a connected, self-optimizing network. This evolution allows us to deliver software-driven value that is going to extend beyond the traditional energy storage today, unlocking operational insights, predictive maintenance, and long-term efficiencies for our customers.

“We have a growing product portfolio for multiple customer segments and adjacent markets. We recently launched the new G-Series G96 High Voltage lithium-ion energy solution for the GSE industry. The higher voltage and higher capacity solution is a game-changer for essential airline ground support equipment such as tractors that require more power for heavier equipment. The G-Series G96 provides extended running time and power for the most demanding GSE applications without compromising on efficiency or sustainability. We continue to meet the evolving demands of our customers with new and innovative solutions, as well as enhancing our current products and capabilities, that are filling market gaps and opening new opportunities that offer true value creation to our fleet customers.

“We continue to develop and expand our SkyEMS AI platform to support the full life cycle of an intelligent battery, and we are currently in pilot with select customers. With the data collected through the platform, we utilize AI and machine learning to support fleet and infrastructure planning, operation, optimization, maintenance and to provide recycling and second life options. These innovations with our SkyEMS software will play a central role for us to achieve this vision, and we are planning to have every battery we ship to be cloud connected.

“Most recently, we were awarded a patent for our Intelligent Battery Cycle Life Maximization, a proprietary AI-based algorithm, accelerating our evolution from a battery manufacturer to a technology-driven energy solutions provider. The Intelligent Battery Cycle Life Maximization Algorithm leverages machine learning to monitor and adjust battery behavior in real time. By dynamically optimizing the maximum charge value of each battery pack based on field usage, the system ensures longer cycle life and improved operational efficiency, moving beyond conventional battery management.

“Taken together, we are building a complete solution for our customers, who want more than hardware. They want insight, control, and adaptability. We believe our software will create a significant recurring revenue stream. Combined with strong orders for our battery products, we are well positioned to achieve sustainable positive cash flow this calendar year. We look forward to providing further updates on our full software strategy in the months to come,” Vanka concluded.

Quarterly Orders and Shipments:

The backlog status is a point in time measure but in total reflects the underlying pacing of orders:

As of April 30, 2025, order backlog was approximately $15.1 million.

Q3’25 Financial Results

Revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2025 increased 16% to $16.7 million compared to $14.5 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2024, due to higher demand in both material handling and ground support markets, with unit growth of 10% and 25%, respectively.

Gross Profit for the third fiscal quarter of 2025 increased 31% to $5.3 million compared to a gross profit of $4.0 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2024. Gross margin increased to 32% in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 as compared to 28.0% in the third fiscal quarter of 2024. Gross profit margin increased by 374 basis points as a result a decrease in warranty-related expenses, partially offset by the slightly higher material costs.

Selling & Administrative expenses increased to $5.7 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 as compared to $5.3 million in third fiscal quarter of 2024, primarily attributable to professional fees of approximately $0.5 million associated with the multi-year restatement of previously filed financial statements , partially offset by lower severance costs and stock-based compensation.

Research & Development expenses decreased to $1.1 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 compared to $1.3 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2024, mainly driven by lower salaries and severance costs.

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.1 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 as compared to a loss of $1.7 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2024.

Net Loss for the third fiscal quarter of 2025 was $1.9 million, compared to a loss of $3.0 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2024, primarily attributable to the increase in gross profit, partially offset by the increase in selling and administrative expenses related to costs associated with the multi-year restatement of previously filed financial statements.

Cash was $0.5 million on March 31, 2025, as compared to $0.6 million at June 30, 2024, reflecting changes in working capital management. Available working capital includes: our line of credit as of March 31, 2025, under our $16.0 million credit facility from Gibraltar Business Capital (“Gibraltar”), with a remaining available balance of $5.0 million subject to borrowing base limitations and satisfaction of certain financial covenants; and $1.0 million available under the subordinated line of credit with Cleveland Capital. Our credit line with Gibraltar, subject to eligible accounts receivables and inventory borrowing base, provides for expansion up to $20 million.

Kevin Royal, Chief Financial Officer of Flux Power, commented, “Our third quarter financials were highlighted by robust orders and backlog, and revenue and gross margin expansion. With strategic supply chain and profitability improvement initiatives, cost reduction, higher volume purchasing, and increasing the price of our products for new orders, we are targeting continued margin improvement. While tariffs are adding uncertainty in the market, with our focus on cost containment and customer engagement, we believe we are well-positioned to navigate these pressures. We are optimistic that growth momentum will continue in 2025, reflecting our investment in expanding our software and battery product offerings and strengthening business fundamentals.”

Note about Non-GAAP Financial Measures

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results.

In addition to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking net loss and adding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expenses. The company believes that this non-GAAP measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of net loss, provides additional information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. This metric is an integral part of the Company’s internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, is available in the accompanying financial tables below. The non-GAAP measure presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
