The earnings call presented a mixed picture with several strategic highlights such as increased bookings, significant investments in technology, and growth in automotive electronics. However, these were offset by lowlights including a decrease in net sales, reduced gross margins, an operating loss, and challenges in the Korean market due to tariffs.
Company Guidance
During the Data I/O Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Conference Call, the company provided guidance reflecting both challenges and opportunities. Net sales for Q2 2025 were $5.0 million, a decrease from $6.2 million in Q1 2025 but slightly up from $5.1 million in Q2 2024. Bookings showed improvement, with $5.8 million in Q2 2025, up from $4.6 million in Q1 2025. The automotive electronics segment represented 66% of bookings, up from 59% in 2024. Gross margin declined to 49.8% from 51.6% in Q1 2025, influenced by product mix and large customer orders. Operating expenses increased to $3.8 million, driven by $480,000 in onetime investments primarily in technology and human resources. The company expects to announce a permanent CFO in Q3 2025, with some double spending anticipated. Data I/O remains optimistic about its technology investments, particularly in UFS flash memory and NVMe technologies, which are projected to have annual CAGRs of 14% through 2030. The company plans to introduce new products at six major events in the second half of 2025, aiming to enhance lead generation and diversify beyond the automotive market.
