MT. LAUREL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- InTest Corporation (NYSE American: INTT), a global supplier of innovative test and process technology solutions for use in manufacturing and testing in key target markets which include semiconductor (鈥渟emi鈥�), automotive/EV, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences, and safety/security, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2025 ended June 30, 2025.

Nick Grant, President and CEO, commented, 鈥淎gainst a backdrop of ongoing global economic and tariff uncertainties with customers remaining hesitant to commit to capital projects, we stayed focused on executing our VISION 2030 Growth Strategy, driving innovation, market diversification and geographic expansion to strengthen our position when market conditions improve. During the second quarter, recently introduced products continued to gain traction; we added new customers; and further expanded our channel network. In addition, orders of $27.8 million improved over both the prior year and trailing quarters reflecting renewed purchasing among automotive customers. Alfamation achieved its highest level of orders since joining InTest. Through the actions we鈥檝e taken to protect our gross margin, diligently control discretionary spending and reduce non-strategic expenses, we significantly narrowed the operating and net loss from the first quarter.鈥�

Mr. Grant continued, 鈥淚nTest鈥檚 funnel of opportunities increased to a new all-time high as our customers recognize our innovative solutions are integral to their long-term capital plans, which reinforces our confidence that fundamentals in our target markets remain intact. To preserve our strong market positions and emerge from this downturn even stronger, we continue to invest in new products with a focus on moving up the value chain for our customers and advancing our 鈥榠n-the-region for-the-region鈥� manufacturing strategy.鈥�

Second Quarter 2025 Review (see revenue by market and by segments in accompanying tables)

Sequentially, revenue for the second quarter was up $1.5 million over the first quarter as sales in semi increased $1.2 million, industrial and defense/aerospace grew $0.8 million each, and safety/security rose $0.3 million. This growth more than outpaced the combined decline of $1.6 million across life sciences, auto/EV and other markets.

Compared with the prior-year period, second quarter revenue was down $5.9 million, primarily due to a $4.9 million decline in auto/EV sales, and slight declines in life sciences, defense/aerospace and other markets. This was partially offset by increases in industrial, safety/security and semi, where the increase in back-end sales outpaced the decline in front-end.

Sequentially, gross margin increased 110 basis points based on higher volume and ongoing cost reductions.

Gross margin was 42.6% in the second quarter, a 200-basis point improvement compared with the prior-year period, primarily due to favorable product mix and cost reduction efforts.

Sequentially, operating expenses decreased $1.0 million due to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including the recently announced leadership transition. Operating expenses decreased $0.6 million from the prior-year period primarily as a result of cost reduction efforts and reduced corporate development costs.

Net loss for the quarter was $0.5 million, or $(0.04) per diluted share. Adjusted net earnings (Non-GAAP)³ were $0.4 million, or $0.03 adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP)³.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of 2025 were $19.2 million, down $2.8 million from the end of the first quarter. During the quarter, the Company reduced total debt by $1.7 million from March 31, 2025 to $10.1 million and used $0.7 million in operations primarily for working capital investments. Capital expenditures were $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2025.

At June 30, 2025, the Company had $30.0 million available under its delayed draw term loan facility and no borrowings under the $10.0 million revolving credit facility. On August 5, 2025, the Company entered into a covenant waiver agreement with its U.S. based lender through the first quarter 2026 in exchange for pledging cash equal to U.S. debt outstanding. At June 30, 2025, the Company held $5.9 million of U.S. based debt.

Second Quarter 2025 Orders¹ and Backlog⁴ (see orders by market in accompanying tables)

Second quarter orders of $27.8 million grew $1.6 million, or 6.0%, versus the prior-year period, and $2.4 million, or 9.5%, compared with the first quarter. The year-over-year increase reflects strength in auto/EV, life sciences, industrial and safety/security markets while orders slowed in semi and defense/aerospace markets.

Sequentially, the 9.5% increase in orders was primarily driven by auto/EV and life sciences, as well as safety/security, defense/aerospace, industrial and other markets. These increases outpaced the decline is semi where the market remains slow.

Backlog at June 30, 2025, was $37.9 million, slightly below the March 31, 2025 level. Approximately 50% of the backlog is expected to ship beyond the third quarter of 2025.

Focusing Outlook on Forward Quarter

Mr. Grant concluded, "We continue to make progress on our VISION 2030 Growth Strategy by adding new customers, expanding our market reach and innovating to drive our value proposition. We are especially encouraged with wins we have seen in auto/EV, life sciences and defense/aerospace. While visibility remains limited amid persistently weak market conditions for capital investment, most notably in the digital/analog semi industry, we still expect to deliver growth quarter over quarter in 2025, albeit at a slower pace than we had originally anticipated at the start of the year.鈥�

Third quarter 2025 revenue is forecasted to be $28 million to $30 million with gross margin similar to the second quarter and operating expenses of $12.6 million to $13.1 million, which excludes approximately $0.1 million in Videology and other restructuring expenses.

The foregoing guidance is based on management鈥檚 current views with respect to operating and market conditions and customers鈥� forecasts. It also assumes macroeconomic conditions remain unchanged through the third quarter. Actual results may differ materially from what is provided here today as a result of, among other things, the factors described under 鈥淔orward-Looking Statements鈥� below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices in the United States (鈥�GAAP鈥�), we also disclose non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures consist of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (鈥�adjusted EPS鈥�), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin.

The Company defines these non-GAAP measures as follows:

• Adjusted net earnings is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, acquired inventory step-up expense, and restructuring costs adjusted for the related income tax expense (benefit), to net earnings.
• Adjusted earnings per diluted share is derived by dividing adjusted net earnings by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
• Adjusted EBITDA is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, acquired inventory step-up expense, restructuring costs, net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, and stock-based compensation expense to net earnings.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin is derived by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

These results are provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures presented to provide investors with meaningful, supplemental information regarding our baseline performance before acquired intangible amortization, restructuring costs and inventory step-up charges as management believes these expenses may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures presented primarily as a measure of liquidity as they exclude non-cash charges for acquired intangible amortization, acquired inventory step-up, depreciation and stock-based compensation. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin also exclude the impact of restructuring costs, interest income or expense and income tax expense or benefit, as management believes these expenses may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance.

Management鈥檚 Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are used by management to make operational decisions, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with our business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of our peers. Reconciliations from net earnings and earnings per diluted share (EPS) to adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) and from net earnings and net margin to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, are contained in the tables below.

Management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures are important in evaluating our performance, results of operations, and financial position. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. Non-GAAP measures as presented in this press release may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Key Performance Indicators

In addition to the foregoing non-GAAP measures, management uses orders and backlog as key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company鈥檚 financial performance and results of operations. Management uses orders and backlog as measures of current and future business and financial performance, and these may not be comparable with measures provided by other companies. Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting the Company to provide products and/or services. Backlog is calculated based on firm purchase orders we receive for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Management believes tracking orders and backlog are useful as they are often leading indicators of future performance. In accordance with industry practice, contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination, or suspension at the discretion of the customer.

Given that each of orders and backlog are operational measures and that the Company鈥檚 methodology for calculating orders and backlog does not meet the definition of a non-GAAP measure, as that term is defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a quantitative reconciliation for each is not required or provided.
