Management's Comments

Richard "Rich" Kelley, Chief Executive Officer and President of Geospace Technologies, said, "The mixed fiscal year performance across the market segments continues to reinforce our vision of diversification and innovation for the company.

Our Smart Water segment delivered another strong year, exceeding expectations with double digit revenue growth for the fourth sequential fiscal year. The Hydroconn® connector line continued to gain market share and drove significant revenue gains compared to last year. We are also seeing increased market acceptance of the Aquana products both domestically and in the Caribbean markets. We anticipate continued market demand for both the Hydroconn and Aquana solutions. For international markets, we will build upon the municipal water management model in the U.S. and address challenges of water scarcity, environmental changes and natural disaster mitigation.

Continued market uncertainty and volatility in oil prices resulted in lower revenue from Energy Solutions. We experienced another year of reduced offshore exploration, increased competition and consolidation. These factors have led to decreased utilization of our ocean-bottom node rental fleet that has negatively impacted segment revenue. Despite lower revenue, we achieved strategic wins in the segment. As previously announced, we were awarded a major Permanent Reservoir Monitoring (PRM) contract with Petrobras as well as released and completed a major sale of our ultra lightweight land node, Pioneer™ to several customers, including Dawson Geophysical, a long-time valued partner. We have a strong backlog going into the next fiscal year and while there are encouraging signs, the short-term exploration market remains uncertain due to continued pressure from low oil prices. However, long-term demand forecasts should drive more favorable market conditions in future periods.

Our Intelligent Industrial segment continues to provide steady, predictable revenue from our industrial sensors and contract manufacturing solutions. As previously announced, to increase revenue from this segment, we acquired Geovox Security, Inc., the exclusive licensee of a human heartbeat detection algorithm developed by Oak Ridge National Lab. The Heartbeat Detector® complements our border and perimeter security solutions. It further serves to advance our strategy toward adding more solutions with annual recurring revenue. We also restructured our Exile product portfolio to increase revenues and improve margins. Both Heartbeat Detector and Exile have seen increased interest in their respective markets.

While Energy Solutions continues to play a key role in our overall strategy, we will continue to drive growth and profitability through diversification. We see incredible opportunities in our Smart Water and Intelligent Industrial segments to leverage our technology and manufacturing capabilities.

Smart Water Segment

Revenue from the Company's Smart Water segment totaled $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This compares to $11.9 million in revenue for the same period a year ago a decrease of 28%. For the fiscal year, revenue from this segment totaled $35.8 million versus $32.4 million for the same prior year period for an increase of 10%. The decrease in revenue for the three-month period is due to decreased demand for our Hydroconn universal AMI connectors. Annually the Company expects a slight seasonal drop in demand for those products during the fall and winter months. The twelve-month increase in revenue is due to increased demand for Hydroconn connectors. Fiscal year 2025 marks the fourth annual year with double digit percentage revenue growth due for our connectors.

Energy Solutions Segment

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, revenue from the Company's Energy Solutions segment totaled $15.7 million for a decrease of 11% when compared to $17.6 million from the same prior year period. Revenue from the twelve-month period was $50.7 million, a decrease of 35%, when compared to revenue from the same prior year period of $78.0 million. The decrease for the three-month period and 12-month period is due to lower utilization and sales for our marine ocean bottom node rental fleet, partially offset by sales of our newly released ultralight land node known as Pioneer. In the third quarter of this fiscal year the Company executed an eighteen-month PRM contract. Revenue will be recognized over the duration of the contract, which is anticipated to begin in our second fiscal quarter of 2026 and beyond.

Intelligent Industrial Segment

Revenue from the Company's Intelligent Industrial segment totaled $6.4 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. This compares with $5.8 million from the equivalent year ago period, representing an increase of 9%. Revenue for the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2025, was $24.0 million. This compares to the prior year-ago period of $24.9 million, a decrease of 4%. The increase in revenue for the three-month period was due to higher demand for our industrial sensors, and contract manufacturing services. The decrease in revenue for the twelve-month period was primarily due to revenue recognized for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2024 on a government contract completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 and lower demand for our imaging products, partially offset by an increase in demand for our industrial sensors and contract manufacturing services.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company used $22.2 million in cash and cash equivalents from operating activities. The Company generated $42.7 million of cash from investing activities that included $30.4 million in proceeds from the sale of short-term investments, $14.2 million of proceeds from the sale of rental equipment, $8.7 million in proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and, offset by $8.0 million for additions to property, plant and equipment, $1.1 million in additions to the rental fleet and, $1.8 million for the acquisition of the Heartbeat Detector product line.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $26.3 million in cash and maintained an additional borrowing availability of $8.0 million under its bank credit agreement with no borrowings outstanding. For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company's working capital is $64.1 million which includes $28.0 million of trade accounts and financing receivables. Additionally, the Company owns unencumbered property and real estate in both domestic and international locations.
