XWELL 2025 Q2 Earnings Wider Losses Amid Revenue Decline

XWELL (XWEL) reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 14, 2025, delivering another quarter of financial losses amid a significant drop in revenue. The results fell well below expectations with no new guidance provided, highlighting continued operational challenges. The company’s net loss widened year-over-year, and despite recent share price gains, post-earnings strategies proved highly volatile and unprofitable.

Revenue
XWELL’s total revenue for the quarter dropped sharply by 17.2% to $7.69 million, compared to $9.28 million in the same period last year. The decline was primarily driven by a contraction in product sales, while services remained the core of the company’s revenue. Services accounted for the majority of earnings, contributing $6.91 million, while product revenue totaled $784,000, resulting in a net total of $7.69 million. The shift in revenue mix underscores the company’s ongoing reliance on service-based income.

Earnings/Net Income
XWELL’s losses worsened in the quarter, with a net loss of $2.05 million, a 14.6% increase from the $1.79 million loss in Q2 2024. On a per-share basis, the company posted a loss of $0.56, a 16.7% widening from the $0.48 loss in the prior-year period. The continued losses, now in their 16th consecutive year for the corresponding fiscal quarter, highlight persistent financial challenges.

Price Action
Despite the negative earnings report, XWELL’s stock saw a modest rebound in the short term. The shares rose 1.66% during the latest trading day, surged 8.07% during the full trading week, and climbed 18.77% month-to-date. However, this recent performance did not reflect long-term investor confidence.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review
A strategy of purchasing XWELL shares immediately after the earnings report and holding for 30 days proved disastrous, returning -87.98% and underperforming the benchmark by 150.83%. The approach revealed high volatility, with a Sharpe ratio of -0.56 and a volatility level of 97.66%. The compound annual growth rate was -54.34%, and the maximum drawdown was 0.00%. These figures underscore the challenges of relying on XWELL’s post-earnings performance for investment gains.

CEO Commentary
Ezra Ernst, CEO of XWELL, expressed optimism despite the negative results, emphasizing the company’s “solid momentum” across its business. He outlined a strategic focus on expanding the company’s footprint through new non-airport locations, enhancing digital capabilities via a redesigned website, and pursuing potential acquisitions of medical spas in high-demand markets. Ernst also highlighted the importance of the company’s partnership with the CDC, operational discipline, and long-term growth strategy in driving future success.

Guidance
XWELL did not provide specific financial guidance for future periods, but the company reiterated its commitment to executing its growth strategy and deepening customer engagement across both airport and local markets.
