(Nasdaq: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2025 first quarter ended April 27, 2024.\n\n\nCEO Commentary\n“Our first-quarter results were hampered by supplier shortages and an order push-out by one customer, both of which we expect to be remedied this fiscal year,” said Greg Woods, President and Chief Executive Officer of AstroNova. “In our Test and Measurement segment, shipments of certain legacy aerospace printers were delayed due to the inability of suppliers to provide components on time.
