"Through the first nine months of fiscal 2025, Cemtrex is a stronger, more profitable, and more efficient business than it was a year ago," said Saagar Govil, Chairman and CEO. "We've grown sales nearly 20 percent, expanded gross margins by three points, and delivered a $6.6 million year-over-year swing to positive operating income. This improvement is visible in nearly every major metric."

Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights (three months ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024)

Revenue increased 16% to $17.0 million from $14.7 million.
Security segment revenue increased 22% to $7.6 million; Industrial Services revenue increased 10% to $9.4 million.
Gross profit increased 25% to $7.37 million, with gross margin improving to 43% from 40%.
Operating loss narrowed to $0.64 million from $3.18 million.

Nine Months Fiscal 2025 Highlights (nine months ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024)

Operating income was $1.69 million, compared to an operating loss of $4.95 million last year, a $6.64 million improvement.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Cash and equivalents, including restricted cash, increased to $8.15 million from $5.42 million at September 30, 2024.
Working capital was $4.92 million despite higher current maturities of long-term liabilities.

"Our Security segment continues to see encouraging growth, anchored by the largest single order in Vicon's history, while Industrial Services continues to execute at a high level delivering strong growth and margin gains," added Govil. "We have tightened expenses, improved efficiency, and strengthened the balance sheet, all while executing on our growth plan. The difference between this year and last is significant, and we believe we are well positioned to build on this momentum into our next fiscal year."
