IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantronix Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRX), a global provider of Edge AI and Industrial IoT solutions that power NDAA-compliant unmanned systems, critical infrastructure and resilient enterprise networks, today reported results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2026.

Management Commentary
“Fiscal 2026 was a year of measurable progress for Lantronix,” said Saleel Awsare, president and CEO of Lantronix. “We returned the core business to growth, significantly strengthened our balance sheet, and closed the year with our fifth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth. We also established unmanned systems as a meaningful growth engine, expanded recurring revenue, and continued transforming Lantronix from a broad-based hardware provider into a more focused, higher-margin solutions platform.

“Today, we are seeing strong momentum across our three strategic focus areas: unmanned systems, critical infrastructure, and enterprise networking. Unmanned systems grew from a minimal contribution a year ago to $12.6 million in fiscal 2026 revenue, and we expect the business to represent 15% to 20% of total revenue in fiscal 2027. As we move further up the technology stack and expand our role across the broader autonomy ecosystem, we believe Lantronix is becoming the go-to edge compute company for unmanned systems. At the same time, our IoT Systems business is reaccelerating, and the Nero Global Tracking acquisition is expanding ARR while moving Software & Services above 10% of total revenue on a pro forma basis. We enter fiscal 2027 in the strongest financial position in our company’s history, with multiple engines of profitable growth and confidence in our ability to deliver double-digit revenue growth in the year ahead.”

On a pro forma basis, the acquisition increases Software & Services to more than 10% of total company revenue.

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.
