nLIGHT, Inc. is a prominent provider of high-power lasers, catering to mission-critical applications in directed energy, optical sensing, and advanced manufacturing sectors. Headquartered in Camas, Washington, the company operates globally with a workforce of approximately 800 employees.
In its third quarter of 2025, nLIGHT reported a strong performance, driven by record revenues in the Aerospace & Defense (A&D) segment. The company achieved an 18.9% increase in total revenues compared to the same period last year, reaching $66.7 million. This growth was accompanied by an improved gross margin of 31.1%, up from 22.4% in the previous year.
Key financial highlights include a significant reduction in net loss, which decreased by 33.5% to $6.9 million, and an impressive turnaround in Adjusted EBITDA, which rose to $7.1 million from a negative position in the previous year. The A&D segment was a major contributor, with revenues climbing to $45.6 million, marking a substantial year-over-year increase. Despite a net loss, the company’s non-GAAP net income showed a positive swing, indicating improved operational efficiency.
Looking ahead, nLIGHT anticipates continued growth in the fourth quarter, projecting revenues between $72 million and $78 million. The company expects its A&D revenue growth for the full year to exceed previous forecasts, driven by ongoing program expansions. Management remains optimistic about maintaining momentum in its core markets, supported by strategic investments and operational leverage.
