AYER, Mass., May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMSC (Nasdaq: AMSC), a leading provider of power control solutions that harmonize an increasingly complex energy system and enable customers to scale their operations without added complexity or size, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 ("fiscal 2025").

Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were $86.4 million compared with $66.7 million for the same period of fiscal 2024. The year-over-year increase was driven by strong organic growth within our Grid and Wind businesses along with the contributions from the acquisition of Comtrafo.

AMSC’s net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $4.5 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share, for the same period of fiscal 2024. The Company’s non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $14.1 million, or $0.31 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net income of $4.8 million, or $0.13 per share, in the same period of fiscal 2024. Please refer to the financial table below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.

Revenues for fiscal 2025 were $299.2 million as compared to $222.8 million in fiscal 2024. The year-over-year increase was driven by higher Grid and Wind revenues than in the prior fiscal year along with the contribution from the acquisition of Comtrafo.

AMSC reported net income for fiscal 2025 of $133.8 million, or $3.12 per share, compared to a net income of $6.0 million, or $0.16 per share in fiscal 2024, driven primarily by a non-cash tax benefit from the release of the majority of the Company's valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The Company's non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2025 was $158.1 million, or $3.68 per share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $24.0 million, or $0.65 per share, for fiscal 2024. Please refer to the financial table below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on March 31, 2026 totaled $147.6 million.

"AMSC delivered record quarterly and full-year results, reflecting exceptional strategic and operational execution," said Daniel P. McGahn, Chairman, President and CEO of AMSC. "We delivered a strong fourth quarter, with revenue up 30% year-over-year to over $86 million. For the full year, revenue grew 34% to nearly $300 million, driven primarily by 25% organic growth and supported by our recent acquisition to capture utility and industrial demand in Latin America. Fourth quarter orders approached $100 million, led by the traditional energy sector and surging data center demand within the utility market. We ended the year with our 12-month backlog up nearly 40% year-over-year to approximately $280 million. These results demonstrate our expanded addressable market and disciplined operational execution. We enter fiscal 2026 with a steadfast focus on powering progress and driving long-term success for AMSC customers."

For the first quarter ending June 30, 2026, AMSC expects that its revenues will exceed $85.0 million. The Company’s net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to exceed $3.0 million, or $0.07 per share, excluding the impact from any changes in contingent consideration.

Note: Non-GAAP net income is defined by the Company as net income before; stock-based compensation; amortization of acquisition-related intangibles; change in fair value of contingent consideration; acquisition costs; other non-cash or unusual charges, and the tax effect of adjustments calculated at the relevant rate for our non-GAAP metric. The Company believes non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share assist management and investors in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding these non-cash, non-recurring or other charges that it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. Actual GAAP and non-GAAP net income and net income per share for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2026, including the above adjustments, may differ materially from those forecasted in the table above, including as a result of changes in the fair value of contingent consideration.

Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures included in this release, however, should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, net income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income is set forth in the table above. Non-GAAP net income per share is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by shares outstanding.
