- Facility Security Clearance: The company's New Jersey headquarters and primary assembly facility received a U.S. Department of Defense Facility Security Clearance, enhancing its eligibility for future defense contracts.
Management Commentary:
Dr. Philipp Stratmann, OPT's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Fiscal 2025 was a pivotal year for Ocean Power Technologies as we transitioned from proving our technology to scaling our impact. We secured a Facility Security Clearance from the U.S. Department of Defense and executed key international deployments across the Middle East and Latin America. With record backlog of $12.5 million, a solid balance sheet, and growing demand from allied nations, we are entering fiscal 2026 with line of sight to transformational scale."
Investor Implications:
The company's strong pipeline and backlog growth, coupled with strategic partnerships and global deployments, suggest a promising outlook for FY26. However, the decrease in gross profit and the net loss indicate that the company is still in a growth phase and may require additional capital to support its expansion plans.
