Ziv Shoshani, Chief Executive Officer of VPG, commented, "In the fourth quarter we achieved continued improvement in sales and orders.  Sales grew 1.1% sequentially and were 10.9% higher than the fourth quarter a year ago.  Orders of $81.3 million grew sequentially as we achieved a positive book-to-bill ratio of 1.01, our fifth consecutive quarter of book-to-bill of 1.00 or better.  Our Sensors segment, which achieved the highest levels of bookings since 2022, recorded a book-to-bill of 1.15.  We are ramping up production of Sensors products and expect to realize higher sales beginning in the second quarter.

“Our fourth-quarter adjusted gross margin was significantly impacted by $1 million related to unfavorable product mix and $1 million of inventory reductions.  In addition, we incurred approximately $1 million of discrete inventory and manufacturing impacts, as well as a $0.4 million impact from unfavorable foreign exchange.”

Mr. Shoshani continued:  "2025 was a year of change and progress for VPG. Orders related to our growth initiatives, including components for humanoid robots, reached $37.8 million, exceeding our $30 million target for 2025. As we continue to implement fundamental organizational and strategic changes to accelerate our growth, we are increasingly optimistic for 2026 and beyond."

The Company's fourth fiscal quarter 2025 net loss attributable to VPG stockholders was $1.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to net earnings $0.8 million, or $ 0.06 per diluted share, in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024.

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders were $5.3 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $9.9 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The fourth fiscal quarter 2025 adjusted net earnings* attributable to VPG stockholders were $1.0  million, or $ 0.07 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net earnings* attributable to VPG stockholders of $0.4  million, or $ 0.03 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, adjusted net earnings* attributable to VPG stockholders were $6.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net earnings* attributable to VPG stockholders of $12.7 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

Segment Performance
The Sensors segment bookings in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 reached their highest level since 2022, reflecting strengthening demand mainly in Test & Measurement. 
The Sensors segment revenues of $30.4  million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 increased 18.0% from $25.8  million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024.  Sequentially, revenue decreased 3.9% compared to $31.6 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2025.  The year-over-year increase in revenues was primarily attributable to higher sales of precision resistors and strain gages in the Test and Measurement and in our Other markets.  Sequentially, the decrease primarily reflected lower sales of precision resistors in the AMS market and lower sales of strain gages in the General Industrial market, which offset higher sales of precision resistors in the Test and Measurement markets.

Adjusted gross profit margin* for the Sensors segment was 28.5% for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025, which decreased from 32.0% in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024 and decreased from 33.6% in the third fiscal quarter of 2025.  The year-over-year decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates, unfavorable product mix, and discrete inventory adjustments, partially offset by higher volume.  Sequentially, the decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to lower volume and unfavorable product mix and foreign exchange rates.

In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025, Weighing Solutions segment orders reached their highest quarterly level in fiscal 2025 and achieved a book-to-bill of 1.02.
The Weighing Solutions segment revenues of $27.7  million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 increased 7.8% from $25.7  million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024.  Sequentially, revenue increased 0.7% compared to $27.5 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2025.  The year-over-year increase in revenues was mainly attributable to higher sales in the Transportation market.  Sequentially, the increase in revenues was primarily due to higher sales in the Industrial Weighing market.

Gross profit margin for the Weighing Solutions segment was 33.0% for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025, which decreased from 34.1% in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024 and decreased from 40.3% in the third fiscal quarter of 2025.  The year-over-year decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to higher one-time manufacturing fixed costs, partially offset by favorable product mix.  The sequential decrease in gross profit margin primarily reflected one-time manufacturing fixed costs, reduction of inventory, and higher logistics costs.

The Measurement Systems segment in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 delivered adjusted gross margin* expansion above 53%, demonstrating operating leverage as volumes recover.
The Measurement Systems segment revenues of $22.4 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 increased 6.0% from $21.2  million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024.  Sequentially, revenue increased 9.1% compared to $20.6 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2025.  The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to higher revenue in the Steel and AMS markets, which offset lower sales in the Transportation market.  Sequentially, the increase in revenue was primarily due to higher sales in the Steel and AMS markets.

Gross profit margin for the Measurement Systems segment was 52.8% for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025, which increased from 50.9% in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024 and increased from 50.5% in the third fiscal quarter of 2025.  Adjusted for acquisition purchase accounting adjustments of $0.1 million in the fourth fiscal quarter, adjusted gross margin* was 53.3%.  This compares with adjusted gross margin* of 51.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and adjusted gross margin* of 51.1% in the third fiscal quarter of 2025, which reflected acquisition purchase accounting adjustments of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.  The year-over-year and sequential increases in adjusted gross profit margin were primarily due to higher volume, partially offset by discrete inventory adjustments.

2026 Key Objectives
The Company's key objectives for fiscal 2026 are:

• Mid- to high-single digit year-over-year revenue growth.
  

• 20% year-over-year growth in bookings from business development initiatives.

Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because each presents what management views as our core operating results for the relevant period.  The adjustments to the applicable GAAP measures relate to occurrences or events that are outside of our core operations, and management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides a consistent basis to evaluate our operating profitability and performance trends across comparable periods.  These reconciling items are indicated on the accompanying reconciliation schedules and are more fully described in VPG’s financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q.
