Fiscal Year 2025
-
Revenue grew 9% year-over-year in 2025, with OEM and waveguide businesses set to drive further growth in 2026. Net loss narrowed significantly, and the company ended the year with a strong cash position and no debt. Multiple new OEM programs and partnerships are expected in 2026.

Q3 revenue declined 16% year-over-year to $1.2M, but net loss improved and cash position strengthened. Strategic partnerships, expanded Amazon deployments, and new product launches are driving momentum, with Q4 revenue already surpassing Q3 and higher-margin defense programs entering production.
-
Q2 2025 revenue rose 19% year-over-year to $1.3 million, driven by smart glasses sales, while net loss narrowed significantly. The company secured $5 million from Quanta, advanced OEM and defense programs, and launched the LX1 for warehousing, with strong demand and a robust cash position.

The meeting highlighted a strategic focus on high-volume waveguide manufacturing, strong OEM partnerships, and new product launches, with AI integration seen as transformative for the industry. Financial discipline and a $20M investment from Quanta were emphasized as key growth drivers.
-
Q1 2025 revenue declined 21% year-over-year but rose 24% sequentially, with net loss improving to $8.6 million. Strategic partnerships, new facility acquisition, and design wins are expected to drive growth, while additional Quanta funding will support Waveguide manufacturing expansion.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Q4 2024 revenue rose to $1.3M, but full-year revenue fell to $5.8M due to lower M400 sales. Strategic OEM/ODM partnerships, especially with Quanta, and new AR smart glasses platforms position the company for growth in 2025, with strong cash reserves and reduced expenses.
-
Q3 2024 saw a 36% revenue decline and a narrowed net loss, with major cost reductions and a $10M investment from Quanta. Strategic OEM partnerships and defense sector growth position the company for future expansion in the rapidly growing AR and AI smart glasses market.
-
Q2 2024 saw sharply lower revenue and a significant net loss due to a large impairment charge, but cost reductions and strategic shifts position the company for future OEM and waveguide supply growth. Major defense and enterprise contracts could drive substantial revenue later in 2024.
-
The meeting confirmed a quorum, elected five directors, and ratified the auditor with strong shareholder support. Strategic focus shifted toward OEM and high-volume waveguide manufacturing, with significant cost reductions and new partnerships highlighted. Major market opportunities are anticipated in AI-enabled smart glasses.
