VirTra Inc. (VTSI) is set to release second-quarter 2025 results on Aug. 11, 2025, after market close.
The company delivered a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 198.93%.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Note Ahead of VTSI’s Q2 Earnings
Revenues earned from higher sales of simulators and accessories, along with design & prototyping, can be expected to have boosted VTSI’s second-quarter top-line performance.

Also, the successful delivery of the company’s V-XR extended reality platform, anticipated in the April-June 2025 quarter, is likely to have contributed favorably to its quarterly revenues.
In addition, VirTra’s steady use of AI tools to accelerate content development must have enabled it to generate higher volumes of certified training faster than ever before, thereby attracting more customers and bolstering its operational results.
However, slower bookings witnessed by the company in recent quarters, due to delays in federal budget disbursements and a more cautious demand environment across the law enforcement and defense sectors, might have hurt both revenues and earnings in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
On the cost side, VTSI can be expected to have witnessed a decrease in cost of sales, caused by greater operational efficiencies, along with reduced operating expenses, thanks to its efforts to lower overhead costs. This, along with solid revenue growth expectations, must have contributed favorably to its second-quarter bottom line.
However, ongoing IVAS program development and initial V-XR production runs might have added upfront costs, weighing on its profitability and thereby earnings.
