FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

GEOSPACE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER AND SIX-MONTH 2025 EARNINGS

 

Houston, Texas May 8, 2025 – Geospace Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: GEOS) (“the “Company") today announced results for its second quarter ended March 31, 2025. For the three-months ended March 31, 2025, Geospace reported revenue of $18.0 million, compared to revenue of $24.3 million for the comparable year-ago quarter. Net loss for the three-months ended March 31, 2025, was ($9.8) million, or $(0.77) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($4.3) million, or $(0.32) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

 

For the six-months ended March 31, 2025, Geospace reported revenue of $55.2 million compared to revenue of $74.3 million for the comparable year-ago period. Net loss for the six-months ended March 31, 2025, was ($1.4) million, or $(0.11) per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.4 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the six-months ended March 31, 2024.

 

Managements Comments

Richard “Rich” Kelley, President and CEO of the Company said, “Like many companies, the second quarter provided volatility for our company. We had record performance in our Smart Water segment, with our Hydroconn® universal connectors continuing to outperform year over year. We are also experiencing increased interest in our Aquana product offerings. Offsetting that is the on-going uncertainty in the Energy Solutions segment. Global trade concerns, tariffs, and decreasing oil prices have impacted project decisions for our customers, resulting in delayed and canceled opportunities. Our Intelligent Industrial segment is negatively impacted by tariff concerns, especially for our EXILE products. Recognizing those external factors, we are working to optimize our supply chains to minimize the impact to our company and our customers. We are well-positioned to exploit the tremendous potential we have created with our innovative IoT technologies, our talented staff and our continuing diversification into new high-margin markets in the Smart Water and Intelligent Industrial markets.

 

Points specifically fueling optimism for future periods include Hydroconn universal connectors achieving their highest first six-months revenue ever and continuing growth, a recently announced Mariner contract with interest in possible future requirements, and the on-going PRM studies, which reinforces the market’s interest in our technology. Additionally, our current backlog places us in a strong position going into the second half of the year. Importantly, the longstanding strength of our balance sheet with no debt and $19.8 million in cash and short-term investments establishes our conservative approach to managing the business. Executive leadership continues to address workforce costs and development expenses on our path to sustained profitability. Beyond our traditional conservative fiscal management in our profitability plan, we continue to pursue growth through acquisition with immediately accretive additions to topline revenue. Overall, I have continued optimism that our company is well positioned to perform in our newer markets.”

Smart Water Segment

The Company’s Smart Water segment generated revenue of $9.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. Revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, was $6.4 million, an increase of 47.8%. Revenue for the six-month period was $16.8 million compared to $10.6 million from the same prior year period. This marks a record high level of second quarter revenue and first half revenue for our Smart Water Segment. Additionally this quarter, the Company surpassed 27 million Hydroconn® universal AMI connectors sold, driving confidence in the ability to grow Geospace’s role in providing enablement technologies to the water management market. To further stimulate utility connector sales, the Company completed an internal audit to confirm Hydroconn connectors comply with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA). BABA compliance is often mandated for application of federal funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

 

Energy Solutions Segment

Second quarter revenue from the Company’s Energy Solutions segment totaled $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This compares to $11.0 million in revenue for the same period a year ago representing a decrease of 76.5%. Revenue for the six-month period ended March 31, 2025, is $26.9 million, a decrease of 47.3% over the equivalent prior year period of $50.9 million. The decrease in revenue for the three-month period and six-month period was due to lower utilization for our marine ocean bottom node rental fleet and concerns of collectability of receivables from a rental customer.  As a result of this determination, the rent receivable balance due from this customer of $2.2 million was reversed against rental revenue. Any future cash received from this customer will be recognized as rental revenue. The Company remains optimistic about the role the Pioneer product will play in the land seismic survey market. Sales engagements are active in both domestic and international markets for this ultralight weight connectorless product. The Company also continues to have discussions with potential clients for future PRM systems. The Company is currently performing engineering services for two Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) studies for a major oil producer.

 

Intelligent Industrial Segment

Revenue from the Company’s Intelligent Industrial segment totaled $5.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. This compares with $6.7 million from the equivalent year ago period, representing a decrease of 12.8%. Revenue for the six-month period ending March 31, 2025, was $11.5 million. This compares to the same prior period revenue of $12.6 million, a decrease of 8.8%. The decrease in revenue for both periods was primarily due to revenue recognized for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 on a government contract completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 and lower demand for our imaging products. The decrease for both periods was partially offset by an increase in demand for our sensor products.

 

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company used $13.4 million in cash and cash equivalents from operating activities. The Company generated $15.5 million of cash from investing activities that included $18.9 million in proceeds from the sale of short-term investments and $1.7 million in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment offset by $4.4 million for additions to property, plant and equipment as well as, $0.9 million in additions to the rental fleet.
