Net revenue declined 14.5% year-over-year to $119.9 million from $140.2 million, while gross profit decreased 52.7% to $9.4 million from $19.9 million.

Key challenges included a 24% decline in North American Class 8 commercial vehicle production affecting Sypris Technologies (43% of revenue) and supply chain constraints impacting Sypris Electronics (57% of revenue). The company maintains $6.8 million in cash with $90.0 million in total liabilities against $107.8 million in total assets.
Sypris Solutions reported deteriorating financial performance in FY 2025 with net revenue declining 14.5% to $119.9 million from $140.2 million in FY 2024. The company's net loss widened significantly to $6.3 million compared to a $1.7 million loss in the prior year. Gross profit decreased 52.7% to $9.4 million, resulting in gross margin compression from 14.2% to 7.8%. Operating loss was $6.6 million compared to operating income of $2.9 million in FY 2024. The company reported negative operating cash flow of $5.7 million, partially offset by $2.2 million from investing activities (including $2.9 million from a sale-leaseback transaction) and $0.8 million from financing activities. Total assets decreased to $107.8 million from $119.4 million, while total liabilities stood at $90.0 million, resulting in stockholders' equity of $17.8 million.
Revenue declined across both business segments, with Sypris Technologies (43% of revenue) experiencing a 31.2% decrease to $51.7 million, primarily due to a 24% decline in North American Class 8 commercial vehicle production. Sypris Electronics (57% of revenue) showed modest growth of 6.5% to $68.1 million, with $54.5 million recognized over time under long-term defense contracts. The company's five largest customers accounted for 63% of net revenue, with Northrop Grumman (23%), Detroit Diesel (13%), and SubCom (11%) being the largest individual customers. Geographic revenue from Mexican operations decreased to $31.7 million (26% of total) from $53.3 million (38%) in the prior year. The company had $66.4 million in remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2025, all from Sypris Electronics contracts expected to be recognized in 2026.
Gross margin declined significantly from 14.2% to 7.8% due to lower volumes in Sypris Technologies and inflationary cost pressures. Cost of sales decreased to $110.5 million from $120.3 million, but at a slower rate than revenue decline. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly to $16.0 million from $17.0 million. Operating margin turned negative at -5.5% compared to positive 2.1% in the prior year. Interest expense remained relatively stable at $1.6 million. The company recognized a $2.5 million gain on a sale-leaseback transaction, partially offsetting operating losses. Other comprehensive income improved to $3.5 million from a loss of $2.0 million, primarily due to favorable foreign currency translation adjustments.
Operating cash flow was negative $5.7 million, driven by the net loss of $6.3 million, partially offset by non-cash adjustments including depreciation ($2.8 million) and inventory reduction ($13.3 million). Inventory decreased to $52.5 million from $66.7 million but remains elevated. Accounts receivable decreased to $9.8 million from $10.6 million. The company had $6.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, down from $9.7 million. Total debt increased to $18.5 million, including a $12.0 million related-party note payable. Working capital line of credit remained at $0.5 million. The company's liquidity position has been supported by additional loans from GFCM totaling $5.5 million during 2024-2025 and amended payment terms with suppliers.
Management expects continued supply chain pressures and inflationary cost increases throughout 2026, which may negatively impact results. The North American Class 8 commercial vehicle market is forecast to show slight increases in 2026-2027 before a 27% increase in 2028. Sypris Electronics faces ongoing component shortages with lead times approaching a year or more for certain parts. Defense spending remains subject to federal budget uncertainty, though the National Defense Authorization Act authorized $901 billion for FY2026. The company believes it has sufficient liquidity for the next twelve months based on current forecasts but may implement contingency plans including cost reductions, adjusted capital expenditures, or additional financing if revenue targets are not achieved. Key risks include customer concentration, defense funding volatility, and economic conditions affecting commercial vehicle markets.
