Cemtrex's CEO and Chairman, Saagar Govil, commented on the results:
"Fiscal 2025 marked a major operating inflection for Cemtrex. We grew revenue by nearly $10 million year over year, expanded gross profit, and improved operating income by approximately $5.8 million, returning the Company to positive operating profit.
"Importantly, these results were achieved while we were actively investing in capital markets initiatives to restore liquidity and flexibility. As certain of those activities and other expenses are not expected to recur, we expect further improvement in core operating performance going forward."

Industrial Services Segment
Industrial Services segment revenue increased year over year, driven by sustained demand across manufacturing, infrastructure, and industrial end markets.
- AIS continued to benefit from disciplined project selection, improved execution, and operating leverage
- Gross margins improved as scale increased and project mix normalized
- The segment remains a core cash-generating business and a key contributor to long term growth
Security Segment
Security segment revenue increased year over year, supported by enterprise and government customers.
- Vicon maintained strong gross margins while benefiting from increased scale
- The segment continued to progress toward greater operating leverage as volumes increased

Balance Sheet and Liquidity Update
Subsequent to fiscal year-end, Cemtrex completed a series of capital and balance sheet actions that:
- Reduced outstanding debt by approximately $7.8 million
- Improved liquidity by approximately $9 million
- Increased financial flexibility to support operations and growth initiatives
These actions were undertaken to remove structural constraints and position the Company for its next phase of growth.
Acquisitions
Cemtrex currently has two acquisitions in formal process - one under contract and the other under LOI - which the Company expects to close in the near term. Management believes these acquisitions, combined with ongoing organic growth, will further expand revenue and operating income.
Looking ahead, the Company intends to pursue additional acquisitions in 2026, focused on businesses that enhance scale, margins, and operating leverage.
Growth Outlook
Over the past three fiscal years, Cemtrex has executed a significant operating transformation. Since fiscal 2022, the Company has grown revenue from approximately $45 million to more than $76 million, while expanding gross profit, restoring operating discipline, and returning to full-year operating profitability in fiscal 2025. Management views fiscal 2025 as the culmination of this turnaround and a clear demonstration of the Company's ability to generate operating leverage at scale.
"With the core business now profitable, our focus shifts to scaling operating leverage," Govil added. "The improvement delivered this year demonstrates how incremental revenue translates into operating income. As we integrate acquisitions and continue to grow organically, we believe we are well positioned to compound operating income through scale, execution, and disciplined M&A as we move into fiscal 2026 and beyond."
