Analysis
Eltek's second-quarter results weakened materially from the comparable 2025 period. Revenue was $11.5 million compared to $12.5 million, while gross profit of $3.0 million became a gross loss of $1.0 million. The resulting operating loss was $2.5 million, compared with operating profit of $1.5 million, and the company recorded a GAAP net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.41 per fully diluted share, compared with net income of $0.4 million, or $0.05 per fully diluted share.
The six-month results show the same deterioration. First-half revenue was $22.0 million versus $25.3 million in the first six months of 2025. Gross loss was $2.8 million versus gross profit of $5.2 million, operating loss was $5.8 million versus operating profit of $2.2 million, and net loss was $5.6 million versus net profit of $1.4 million. Non-GAAP EBITDA was a loss of $1.9 million in the quarter and a loss of $4.6 million in the first six months, compared with EBITDA of $2.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in the prior-year periods.
Management attributed the period to an ongoing operational transition. It said production-system stabilization and new-line integration are progressing but incomplete, while the company is implementing a new ERP system and installing and testing a new PCB plating line. The stated focus is completing manufacturing stabilization, strengthening the organization and infrastructure, and improving operating efficiency. Financial expenses primarily resulted from erosion of the U.S. dollar against the NIS.
Cash flow was positive from operations in the quarter, with net cash provided by operating activities of 674 U.S dollars in thousands, compared to net cash used in operating activities of (2,935) U.S dollars in thousands in the prior-year quarter. Cash and cash equivalents were 9,390 U.S dollars in thousands at June 30, 2026, compared to 2,481 U.S dollars in thousands at December 31, 2025, while short-term bank deposits were 2,117 U.S dollars in thousands compared to 9,643 U.S dollars in thousands. The company did not provide financial guidance, so the near-term operating milestones are the third-quarter plating-line qualification, ERP implementation, and completion of manufacturing stabilization.
Management, verbatim
Our second-quarter 2026 results reflected a loss as we remain in an important transition period focused on stabilizing our manufacturing operations and building the human and operational infrastructure required to support our next phase of growth. The stabilization of our production system and the integration of our new production lines are progressing, although the process is not yet complete.
Eli Yaffe, Chief Executive Officer
We are well advanced in the implementation of our new ERP system, which we believe will provide a stronger foundation for managing and scaling our operations. We are also completing the installation of our newly arrived PCB plating line, while conducting acceptance testing in parallel, and expect to begin the qualification process during the third quarter.
