CVD Equipment Earnings Call Transcripts
Fiscal Year 2026
-
Revenue fell sharply year-over-year due to lower CVD systems demand, but the SDC sale strengthened the balance sheet, leaving $23 million in cash and no long-term debt. The company is focused on cost reduction, operational efficiency, and targeting industrial, aerospace, and nuclear markets.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Revenue declined 33% in Q4 and 4.1% for the year, with a net loss of $1.6 million in 2025. Transformation efforts include cost reductions, workforce cuts, and the $16.9M SDC business sale, with proceeds to strengthen the balance sheet and fund future opportunities.
