GEOSPACE TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER

FISCAL YEAR 2026 RESULTS

 

Houston, Texas February 4, 2026 Geospace Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: GEOS) (“the “Company") today announced results for its first quarter ended December 31, 2025. For the three-months ended December 31, 2025, Geospace reported revenue of $25.6 million compared to revenue of $37.2 million for the comparable year-ago quarter. Net loss for the three-months ended December 31, 2025, was $9.8 million, or $(0.76) per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.4 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

 

Managements Comments

Richard J. (“Rich”) Kelley, President and CEO of Geospace Technologies said, “The past year was not without its challenges many of which are reflected in our first quarter performance. We continue to operate in an environment shaped by economic uncertainty, inflation, tariffs and supply chain challenges. With that said, we remain focused on what we can control: serving our customers, running the business well, and making smart, long-term decisions. Overall, I am encouraged by how our organization performed in this difficult operating environment. We continue to invest in our future, advance our strategic initiatives, and leverage innovative technology to further diversify the business. These efforts position us well to drive sustainable growth and long-term value for our shareholders.

 

The Smart Water segment continues to operate in a stable yet increasingly demanding environment. As is typical in the first quarter, revenue is reduced due to seasonal deployment schedules and the timing of municipal government budget cycles. However, long-term demand for water infrastructure, treatment, and management services remains strong, driven by population growth, urbanization, aging infrastructure, and heightened regulatory and environmental standards. We are expanding the geographic reach of our sales and marketing operations to enter markets where these demand criteria exist, and our technology offers significant added value.

 

At the same time, the industry faces challenges including rising operating costs, climate-related variability, evolving compliance requirements, and the need for sustained capital investment. These dynamics reinforce the importance of prudent planning, operational discipline, and long-term asset stewardship.

 

The environment surrounding our Energy Solutions segment is defined by uncertainty and change. The global energy demand remains resilient, reflecting the essential role that oil and natural gas play in supporting economic activity, industrial production, and energy security. We were encouraged by the award of the large Permanent Reservoir Monitoring contract in fiscal year 2025, which reinforces the strength of our capabilities and market positioning. At the same time, the sector faces ongoing volatility driven by geopolitical events, inflationary pressures, regulatory developments, and evolving expectations from investors and policymakers.

Our Intelligent Industrial segment continues to generate steady, predictable revenue from our industrial sensors, imaging products and contract manufacturing solutions. As previously announced, we strengthened our security portfolio with the acquisition of GeoVox Security, the exclusive licensee of a human heartbeat detection algorithm developed by Oak Ridge National Labs. Since the acquisition, customer interest and engagement has exceeded GeoVox’s historical levels, driven largely by the reduced product form factor and the introduction of a monthly subscription model, which simplifies procurement by enabling purchase orders under operating budgets rather than capital expenditures. Combined with the consistent revenue from our long-established industrial product lines, this recurring revenue model positions the Intelligent Industrial segment for growth in 2026 and beyond.

 

Looking ahead, we expect continued uncertainty in global markets. While challenges remain, we believe the company is well positioned due to the quality of our portfolio, the experience and professionalism of our workforce, and our conservative financial framework. We will continue to evaluate opportunities carefully, avoid speculative investments, and remain guided by returns, risk management, and long-term shareholder value.”

 

Smart Water Segment

First quarter revenue from the Company’s Smart Water segment totaled $5.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. This compares to $7.3 million in revenue for the same period a year ago, a decrease of 21%. This quarter’s revenue is higher than the average of the last several years’ revenue for the first quarter of the fiscal year. This decrease in revenue is due to lower demand for the Company’s Hydroconn® cable and connector products, caused by a normal seasonal decrease in demand.

 

Energy Solutions Segment

The Energy Solutions segment revenue totaled $14.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. This compares to $24.3 million in revenue for the same period a year ago, a decrease of 40%. Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 included $10.6 million of Pioneer and related equipment for an order to Dawson Geophysical announced in August 2025. However, in comparison, revenue for the first quarter of the prior year included a $17 million OBX marine wireless product sale. Additionally, the reduction in revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was due to lower utilization of the OBX rental fleet.

 

Intelligent Industrial Segment

Revenue from the Company’s Intelligent Industrial segment totaled $5.1 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025. This is compared with $5.6 million from the same year ago period, a decrease of 8%. The decrease in revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to lower demand for industrial sensor products.  The decrease was partially offset by an increase in demand for our contract manufacturing services.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $10.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, Company’s working capital is $52.2 million which includes $25.4 million of trade accounts and financing receivables as of December 31, 2025.The Company continues to own unencumbered property and real estate in both domestic and international locations. In fiscal year 2026, management anticipates a capital expenditure budget of $5 million and does not anticipate significant increases to the rental fleet given current market conditions.
