Revenue for the third quarter of 2025 increased 11% to $3.0 million, compared to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. The year?over?year growth was driven by higher shipments of the Company’s force-sensing products and printed electronics at its Calman Technology subsidiary, partially offset by lower sales of gas?sensor products. Revenue continues to fluctuate in response to changes in customer demand, which can vary with order flow and production cycles, affecting both the timing and volume of shipments.
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 41.8%, a 40-basis-point increase from the third quarter of last year. The improvement is primarily due to higher revenue and favorable changes in product mix.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $336,000, an improvement compared to a net loss of $523,000 in the year?ago period. The improvement in net loss was driven by higher revenue and slightly lower operating expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non?GAAP financial measure, was $(62,000), an improvement compared to $(248,000) in the prior?year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measure: Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and as further adjusted for stock-based compensation expense.
We use this non-GAAP financial measure for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core business operating results, such as amortization expense related to our recent acquisitions. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates management’s internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors’ operating results. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors both because (1) is allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) it is used by our investors to help them analyze the health of our business.
There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP.
