The earnings call reflects a strong performance in the defense segment, contributing to overall revenue growth and improved gross margins. However, there are ongoing challenges in the commercial markets and uncertainties related to tariffs that could impact future performance.Company Guidance
In the first quarter of 2025, nLIGHT, Inc. reported robust financial results, surpassing the high end of its guidance for revenue, gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA. The company achieved total revenue of $51.7 million, marking a 16% increase from the previous year. Aerospace and defense (A&D) revenue reached $32.7 million, reflecting a 50.4% year-over-year growth, driven by record defense product revenue, which surged more than 150%. This growth was primarily due to increased deliveries for the HEL-TD direct energy laser program. For the second quarter, nLIGHT projects revenue between $53 million and $59 million, with A&D revenue expected to rise sequentially and year over year. The total gross margin for the first quarter was 26.7%, benefiting from a $1.9 million duty reclaim, which without this would have been approximately 23%. Operating expenses were $23.4 million, and the company ended the quarter with $117 million in cash and investments, drawing $20 million from its line of credit to bolster its balance sheet amid tariff uncertainties. Looking forward, nLIGHT anticipates at least a 25% revenue increase in the A&D sector for the full year, despite ongoing challenges in the industrial and microfabrication markets.Record Defense Revenue
