nLIGHT, Inc. is a prominent provider of high-power lasers, specializing in mission-critical directed energy, optical sensing, and advanced manufacturing applications, with operations spanning the United States, Europe, and Asia. The company recently announced its second-quarter 2025 financial results, showcasing a notable performance driven by record revenues in the aerospace and defense sector.
In the second quarter of 2025, nLIGHT reported revenues of $61.7 million, marking a 22.2% increase from the previous year. The company’s gross margin improved to 29.9%, up from 23.5% in the same quarter of 2024. Despite a net loss of $3.6 million, this represents a significant improvement from the $11.7 million loss reported in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA also turned positive at $5.55 million, compared to a negative $1.6 million in the previous year.
The company’s aerospace and defense segment was a key driver of growth, with revenues reaching $40.7 million, a substantial increase from $27.4 million in the same period last year. This growth is attributed to heightened demand for nLIGHT’s directed energy products and laser sensing solutions. The company has consequently revised its aerospace and defense growth outlook for 2025 to at least 40% year-over-year.
Looking ahead, nLIGHT anticipates third-quarter revenues to range between $62 million and $67 million, with a gross margin expected to be between 24% and 30%. The company remains optimistic about its strategic initiatives and market position, projecting continued growth in its core sectors, particularly aerospace and defense, as it navigates the remainder of 2025.
