AstroNova Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

Company to host earnings conference call at 9:00 a.m. ET today

WEST WARWICK, R.I., December 12, 2024 – AstroNova, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2025 third quarter ended November 2, 2024.

Third Quarter FY 2025 Summary

CEO Commentary

“Overall, our third-quarter performance was disappointing, reflecting a significant decrease in consolidated margins and increased operating expenses year-over-year,” said Greg Woods, AstroNova’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our results were primarily impacted by the ongoing integration of MTEX NS (MTEX) in our Product Identification segment, as well as a key customer’s delayed launch from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of a large order we received for hundreds of inkjet printers that just began shipping this month. The MTEX integration is proving far more time-consuming and resource-intensive than we anticipated when we completed the acquisition in May. MTEX had an operating loss of $1.1 million in the third quarter with revenue of $1.7 million. While its revenue is substantially higher on a sequential basis, MTEX’s initial sales volume, revenue and margin contributions are well short of our targets, and we are working diligently to get the acquisition on track to deliver improved results as rapidly as possible.

“As part of this process, we recently completed a total realignment of MTEX’s organizational reporting structure. All of MTEX’s key functions, including Sales and Marketing, Manufacturing, Technology, Finance, and Human Resources, now report directly to the AstroNova leadership team,” Woods said. “Among its goals, this effort aims to accelerate the implementation of consistent best practices within the MTEX sales process, ensuring alignment with the established standards and practices of our Product Identification segment and our organization as a whole. In conjunction with the integration, we have also launched an AstroNova-wide cost reduction and product line rationalization initiative. These measures have already delivered initial successes, including the closure of some large new orders. However, the full integration process is anticipated to continue through mid-calendar year 2025, with additional work required to complete the transition.

“While the integration has been challenging, we remain confident in MTEX’s game-changing inkjet printing technology, as well as their manufacturing capabilities and unique, real-time, printer monitoring and management software,” Woods said. “In the quarters ahead, in conjunction with our product rationalization program, we plan to

incorporate the MTEX technology and software into most of our products and even retrofit it into several models of our large global installed base, which we expect will provide our customers with improved performance and lower total cost of ownership.

“Despite the challenges in the PI segment in the third quarter, our consolidated net revenue increased nearly 8% year-over-year, driven by the continued momentum of the Aerospace product line within our Test & Measurement (T&M) segment,” Woods said. “The performance of the T&M segment would have been even stronger had it not been for the nearly two-month Boeing strike, which delayed shipments. With the strike now resolved, shipments to Boeing are ramping back up, and we expect sales volume in that product line to improve as we close out fiscal 2025. In our PI segment, revenue from the previously delayed inkjet printer order is expected to contribute several million dollars to the top line over the next several quarters.”

Business Outlook

Given the extended integration timeline for MTEX, AstroNova is no longer providing financial guidance for fiscal 2025 and 2026. As part of the integration process, the Company is conducting a comprehensive cost-reduction and product-line rationalization initiative. This effort is aimed at reducing expenses and further enhancing AstroNova’s product portfolio. AstroNova plans to discuss the results of this initiative, and provide long-term financial targets, on its full-year fiscal 2025 earnings call in March.

“Although it will take time to realize the full benefits of the MTEX acquisition, we are encouraged about the strategic opportunities created by the acquisition, which we expect to improve our competitiveness and expand our offerings to meet a broader range of customer needs,” Woods said. “We are confident that the steps we are taking now will yield meaningful competitive advantages, ultimately driving shareholder value.”

Q3 FY 2025 Operating Segment Results

Product Identification

Product Identification (PI) segment revenue was $26.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with $26.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily related to the delayed release of a new inkjet printer, to accommodate a key customer’s request to add additional functionality, as well as lower PI sales volume in Europe, partly offset by revenue from the acquisition of MTEX NS. PI segment operating income was $1.9 million, or 7.1% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with segment operating income of $4.8 million, or 18.1% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was driven by higher costs during the 2025 period, partially linked to the MTEX NS acquisition, an unfavorable product mix, reduced sales volume in Europe, and the delayed launch of a new product originally scheduled for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 but deferred to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and early fiscal 2026.

Test & Measurement

Test & Measurement (T&M) segment revenue was $14.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with $11.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was driven by higher sales volume in the Company’s Aerospace product line, partly offset by lower sales volume in the Test & Measurement product line. T&M segment operating income was $3.3 million, or 23.0% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with segment operating income of $2.6 million, or 23.2% of revenue, in the same period of fiscal 2024.
