IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantronix Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRX), a global leader in compute and connectivity IoT solutions powering Edge AI applications, today reported results for the fiscal second quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025.

Management Commentary

“We continued our momentum into the second quarter through disciplined execution, delivering financial results within our guidance range,” said Saleel Awsare, president and CEO of Lantronix. “Execution across our Edge AI strategy continued to strengthen during Q2, with several customer programs advancing from development and pilot phases into initial production and deployment.”

Lantronix experienced particularly strong momentum in the unmanned systems industry where sequential growth in drones reflected deeper customer engagement and expansion in program scope as OEMs increased reliance on Lantronix technology across defense and autonomous applications. As these programs move further into execution, Lantronix’s position increasingly operates as a platform partner rather than a component supplier, supporting longer-duration engagements with attractive lifetime value. Additionally, the Company is encouraged to see many of its partners and customers included in the Department of War’s recently announced initial slate of vendors for its Drone Dominance initiative, underscoring the relevance of its platform within the evolving defense ecosystem.

“Convergence around our Edge AI platform is enabling us to scale efficiently across drones, critical infrastructure monitoring and enterprise connectivity while simultaneously strengthening customer relationships and improving operating leverage,” added Awsare. “We remain disciplined and well-positioned to meet accelerating demand in our core markets and are confident that our platform-led strategy and growing execution cadence will continue to drive profitable growth.”

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Lantronix believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information, when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s financial condition and results of operations. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP net loss consists of net loss excluding (i) share-based compensation and the employer portion of withholding taxes on stock grants, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) interest income (expense), (iv) other income (expense), (v) income tax provision (benefit), (vi) restructuring, severance and related charges, (vii) acquisition related costs, (viii) impairment of long-lived assets, (ix) amortization of purchased intangibles, (x) amortization of manufacturing profit in acquired inventory, (xi) fair value remeasurement of earnout consideration, and (xii) loss on extinguishment of debt.

Non-GAAP EPS is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP EPS, the calculation of GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, which, for GAAP purposes, is treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.

Guidance on earnings per share growth is provided only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of certain items that have been excluded from the forward-looking non-GAAP measures, and a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP guidance has not been provided because certain factors that are materially significant to Lantronix’s ability to estimate the excluded items are not accessible or estimable on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort.
