VirTra 2025 Q2 Earnings Revenue Growth, Earnings Decline

VirTra (VTSI) reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 11, 2025. The company delivered year-over-year revenue growth but faced a significant decline in net income and earnings per share. The results did not include an earnings guidance revision, and performance remained in line with expectations.

Revenue
VirTra’s total revenue increased by 14.9% year-over-year to $6.98 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $6.08 million in the same period in 2024. The growth was driven by strong performance in simulators and accessories, which generated $4.50 million in revenue. Extended service-type warranties also contributed $1.07 million. Additional segments, including installation and training ($307,850) and STEP ($1.03 million), played supporting roles. Smaller revenue contributors included customized software and content ($30,841), design and prototyping ($29,861), and other services.

Earnings/Net Income
VirTra’s earnings per share (EPS) fell sharply to $0.02 in Q2 2025, a decline of 81.8% compared to $0.11 in Q2 2024. Similarly, the company’s net income dropped by 85.4% to $175,314 from $1.20 million a year earlier. The significant drop in profitability reflects challenges in translating revenue growth into bottom-line gains.

Price Action
Shares of VirTra (VTSI) experienced mixed price movements in the short term, climbing 3.56% during the latest trading day but declining 0.41% over the most recent full trading week. Month-to-date, the stock surged 15.03%, indicating a strong rebound in the period.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review
A strategy of buying VirTra shares following the company’s revenue growth in Q2 and holding for 30 days produced moderate returns, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.96%. However, this underperformed the market by 38.74 percentage points. The strategy was characterized by low risk, with a maximum drawdown of 0.00% and a Sharpe ratio of 0.11, indicating conservative returns but limited volatility.

CEO Commentary
John F. Givens, CEO & Chairman, noted that VirTra delivered year-over-year growth in both revenue and bookings for Q2 2025, while maintaining profitability and strengthening its cash position. He acknowledged that sequential bookings were lighter due to timing and funding delays, but remained confident in the company’s ability to execute as funding improves. Givens emphasized strategic initiatives in sales and marketing, including a redesigned website and a regional sales model, to enhance lead capture and responsiveness. He also highlighted product quality improvements driven by customer feedback, particularly in hardware durability and performance.

Guidance
Givens expressed optimism for future growth, stating that operational discipline, strong recurring revenue, and customer engagement strategies position the company well for the back half of the year and into 2026. He noted the potential for improved order activity as federal and international funding flows stabilize, including the reopening of the DOJ COPS grant program and reentry into the GSA procurement channel. Alanna Boudreau, CFO, confirmed that most new capital bookings from the first half of 2025 are expected to convert into revenue by year-end, although some international orders may be deferred to early 2026. The company reported a strong balance sheet with $20.7 million in cash and $33.5 million in working capital as of June 30.
