Analysis
Flux Power's fourth quarter showed a sequential recovery but a materially weaker year-over-year revenue base. Revenue was $8.2 million, compared with $6.6 million in the prior quarter and $16.7 million in the same quarter a year ago. Management attributed the sequential increase to higher customer orders and shipments into a new vertical market. For fiscal 2026, revenue was $42.1 million, compared with $66.4 million in fiscal 2025.
Margins stabilized sequentially but remained below the prior-year period. Fourth-quarter gross profit was $2.3 million, or 27.4% of revenue, versus $1.8 million, or 27.3% of revenue, in the prior quarter and $5.8 million, or 34.5% of revenue, a year earlier. Full-year gross margin was 30.2%, compared with 32.7% in fiscal 2025. The company highlighted supply-chain optimization, lower product costs and product redesign efforts as initiatives aimed at improving margins.
Cost actions drove improved sequential profitability. Fourth-quarter operating expenses were $4.4 million, down from $4.8 million in the prior quarter and $6.5 million a year ago. Flux Power said the reduction primarily reflected headcount reductions and a streamlined operating model, while fiscal 2025 also included $2.9 million of restatement-related costs. The sequentially improved expense base reduced the GAAP operating loss to $2.1 million from $3.0 million and improved adjusted EBITDA to negative $1.6 million from negative $2.5 million. However, each fourth-quarter profitability measure was weaker than the prior-year quarter.
The balance sheet and liquidity remain central considerations. Cash was $0.3 million at June 30, 2026, compared with $0.4 million at March 31, 2026. The company reported $6.3 million of line-of-credit borrowings and $21.6 million of total liabilities. The filing specifically cites continued access to its credit facility, the ability to secure sufficient funding and the ability to continue as a going concern as risk factors.
Flux Power provided no quantitative fiscal 2027 outlook. Operationally, the release points to SkyEMS® 3.0, a new major OEM certification, a new Vice President of Sales for Material Handling and marketing programs to diversify the customer base as growth enablers. Investors will need to assess whether these actions can sustain revenue recovery, restore gross margin and reduce losses while the company manages its funding requirements.
Management, verbatim
Fourth quarter revenue increased 25% sequentially, slightly ahead of the expectations we conveyed on last quarter’s call due to increased customer orders and shipments into a new vertical market.
Krishna Vanka, Chief Executive Officer
To improve our overall cost structure, we executed decisive expense reduction and efficiency initiatives over the past year that resulted in a 30% reduction in fourth quarter operating expenses compared to the prior year quarter.
Krishna Vanka, Chief Executive Officer
With a leaner cost structure, a refreshed sales leadership team, expanding OEM relationships and upgraded offerings in place, I believe we are well positioned to deliver renewed growth and accelerate our path to profitability as broader economic conditions improve.
