Volatile trajectory stabilizes. The quarter caps a turbulent fiscal 2025 marked by wild swings in both earnings and revenue. Q1 2025 delivered a standout $0.34 EPS on $124.4 million in revenue, followed by a $0.06 loss in Q2 on $51.2 million, a $0.01 loss in Q3 on $59.4 million, and now a return to profitability in Q4. The year-over-year EPS improvement of 122.5% reflects the company’s shift from consistent losses in 2024 to intermittent profitability in 2025. Revenue has stabilized in the $50-60 million range over the past three quarters after the Q1 spike, suggesting the business has settled into a more predictable run rate. The 2.6% year-over-year revenue gain is modest but marks a departure from the prior year’s volatility.
