Palladyne AI 2025 Q2 Earnings Net Loss Widens Despite Record Performance

Palladyne AI (PDYN) reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on Aug 06th, 2025. The results indicate a significant decline in revenue and a wider net loss compared to the previous year, despite the company highlighting a five-year high in net income during the quarter. The earnings report sets the stage for a strategic focus on product development and long-term growth.

Palladyne AI’s total revenue dropped by 62.6% year-over-year to $1.01 million in 2025 Q2, with the majority of the revenue stemming from a single product development contract. The Product Development Contract Revenue accounted for the entire $1.01 million, while Product Revenue contributed a minimal $3,000. The net revenue, adjusted for returns and allowances, also stood at $1.01 million, underscoring the company’s heavy reliance on contract-based income.

Despite maintaining a stable EPS of $-0.20, Palladyne AI’s net loss widened to $7.49 million in 2025 Q2, a 40.7% increase from the $5.32 million loss recorded in the same period the previous year. The widening loss is attributed to ongoing operational costs and investment in product development. While the company set a record for the highest net income in five years, the overall performance remains a cause for concern given the significant deterioration in profitability.
