Newton Golf Company Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
CAMARILLO, Calif., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – NEWTON GOLF Company (NASDAQ:NWTG) ("Newton Golf" or the "Company"), a technology-forward golf company delivering physics-based performance innovations for players at every level, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
First Quarter 2025 Highlights
- Revenue increased 246% to $1.2 million, compared to $350,000 in Q1 2024
- Gross profit rose 348% to $852,000, up from $190,000 in the prior-year period
- Gross margin expanded to 70%, up from 54% a year ago
- Net loss of $0.5 million, or ($0.55) per share, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million, or ($24.85) per share in Q1 2024.
Note: The Q1 2024 per-share figure reflects the pre-uplisting share count, which was significantly lower. The Company's uplisting to Nasdaq in August 2024 included a share conversion, which substantially increased the share count used for calculating earnings per share.
- Cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.9 million as of March 31, 2025
- Newton Motion shaft adoption surpassed 30 professionals, with 8 new players joining across PGA TOUR Champions, LPGA, Korn Ferry, and PGA TOUR events during the quarter
Management Commentary
"We are very pleased with our first-quarter results, especially given that it is typically the offseason for golf," said Greg Campbell, Chief Executive Officer of Newton Golf. "When we launched the Newton Motion shaft, our goal was to engineer performance that speaks for itself. The fact that more than 30 professionals are now using Newton shafts across major tours—and that 8 of those joined in Q1—validates both the technology and our direction. We're just getting started.
Demand for our Fast Motion shaft has exceeded expectations, and we are ramping up production to keep pace."
"We continue to execute with discipline and focus. The 246% year-over-year revenue growth reflects strong demand, expanding distribution, and improving unit economics. While gross margins expanded to 70%, our operating expenses in Q1 were temporarily elevated due to several one-time costs, including:
- Extra legal expenses associated with special shareholder meetings and warrant exercises.
- Higher audit expenses tied to warrant valuation and warrant accounting.
- One-time transfer agent fees.
- Proxy solicitor costs related to the special shareholder meeting.
These expenses were necessary to support key strategic actions and ensure regulatory compliance. With gross margins holding strong and $5.9 million in cash, we remain well-positioned to scale the business strategically while maintaining financial discipline."
Recent Business Highlights
- Shaft sales grew 314% year-over-year
- Newton Fast Motion, the Company's lightweight innovation, was adopted by multiple Tour professionals in Q1
- Secured distribution with two of Japan's largest golf retailers, extending Newton's international reach
- Expanded product testing and engagement with club fitting leaders in Europe and North America
- Showcased Newton's full product lineup at the 2025 PGA Show in Orlando, highlighting both shaft and putter innovations to key industry stakeholders
Looking Ahead
"As we look ahead to the rest of 2025, our focus remains on expansion—new products, new markets, and continued Tour validation," added Campbell. "We believe Newton's trajectory is being driven by something deeper than hype. It's being driven by results, by performance, and by trust on Tour. And we're building for the long term."
Revenue Guidance
The Company expects full-year 2025 revenue to range between $6.5 million and $7.0 million, representing continued strong growth from 2024.
