(2) Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation provided below.

 Q3 Overview:

  • Q3’25 revenue was $19.6M compared to $26.0M in Q3’24, reflecting changes in the start of several new larger contracted LED lighting projects, along with some general market softness reflecting customer uncertainty concerning the economy. YTD’25 revenue was $58.9M compared to $64.2M in YTD’24.
  • Orion achieved slightly positive Q3’25 Adjusted EBITDA while also increasing its cash and liquidity position and reducing debt outstanding.
  • Orion has made substantial progress in reducing its cost structure and improving product and service margins. Q3’25 gross margin increased to 29.4%, the second highest quarterly rate in seven years, with particular progress in maintenance and LED lighting, through both price and cost actions.
  • Orion has executed business process improvements that have substantially reduced operating expenses and improved profit margins. As a result, the company’s annual revenue breakeven point has been reduced 25% to $78M – $85M (depending on sales mix) going forward from approximately $105M-$115M over the past two years.
  • Over the past few months Orion has won diverse new business with aggregate revenue potential of $100M to $200M over five years, of which it expects to complete $14M to $24M in FY2026, increasing visibility for top- and bottom-line growth.
  • Orion announced plans to reorganize its business into two principal business units to better align its sales, marketing, and product development activities, to drive long term growth. The reorganization is underway and will be fully in effect as of the start of FY 2026.
  • Orion will be further reducing costs by $1.5 million annualized through targeted staffing reductions. Senior management along with the Board of Directors have agreed to forego 10% of their salaries and retainers through FY25 and until business performance improves.

CEO Commentary
Orion CEO Mike Jenkins commented, “Our team has made excellent progress reducing our cost structure and enhancing margins across our business. We have also added seven new customers/projects worth an estimated $100M to $200M in aggregate revenue potential over the next five years to our project pipeline. This range includes the variability of customer dictated timing. This new business is more significant and diverse than we have had in recent years, and we have other large opportunities approaching final stages of negotiation. In addition, we continue to lower costs in our LED lighting products through product re-engineering, plant efficiency efforts and enhanced sourcing, all of which benefit gross margin. We also achieved a substantial margin rebound of over 2,000bps in our maintenance business due to our strategic pricing and restructuring actions.

“We have made significant progress in lowering our breakeven threshold. In addition to progress on margins, we reduced our operating cost by more than $4M year-to-date, including reducing more than $2M in overhead that will benefit future periods. As a result, we achieved positive adjusted EBITDA and positive cash flow from operating activities in Q3’25 and year-to-date. Our cash position increased to $7.5M in Q3’25, from $5.4M in Q2’25, inclusive of a $1.5M reduction in borrowings under our credit facility.

Despite these very significant developments, our FY’25 performance was impacted by customer delays in launching several projects and by reduced activity in our electrical contractor distribution channel. These factors required us to lower our FY’25 revenue outlook, however, Orion believes it is in a far stronger position to drive revenue growth and profitability in FY’26.

“We expect a strong year-end close for our Voltrek EV charging segment, as Q4’25 should benefit from projects related to Eversource Energy ’s ‘EV Make Ready’ program that were delayed in Q3’25. Orion ’s EV charging solutions revenue has grown 48% so far this year, and we believe it remains well positioned for long-term growth. Our maintenance services business is also in a solid position, following the rollout of a new pricing model and the rightsizing of its resources and overhead to improve operational efficiency.

“Looking forward, we believe Orion has built a strong platform of high quality, industry-leading solutions and customer service to meet our customers’ operational, energy savings, workplace safety and sustainability goals. Given this platform, our continued focus on reducing costs, and the realignment of our business units to maximize our revenue potential, we believe Orion is poised to deliver much improved results in FY’26 and beyond.”

Business Reorganization
To create greater focus and efficiency and to better serve customers and enhance revenue generation, Orion is reorganizing its business divisions into two Commercial Business Units (CBUs): one focused on a full range of product, technology and service Solutions (across LED lighting, EV charging and maintenance services) and one focused on LED lighting and EV Charging product sales through ESCO and distribution Partners.  

Orion ’s Solutions CBU will focus on developing and executing business with large complex corporate, government and other private sector accounts. The Partner CBU will focus on accelerating product sales by catering to the unique needs and dynamics of Orion ’s Energy Service Company (ESCO) and Agent distribution partners. This realignment will create distinct CBU teams that are able to tailor their solutions to address customer needs with the highest value solutions and customer service. The reorganization is underway and will be fully implemented and effective as of April 1, 2025.

Outlook
Reflecting the impact of the change in timing of new business projects in Q4’25, Orion has reduced its FY’25 revenue outlook to a range of $77M - $83M. This outlook implies Q4’25 revenue of $19M - $25M which would be approximately in line or better than any of the first three quarters of FY’25. This outlook is based on current market conditions, initial revenue expected from large national LED lighting projects, as well as a significant sequential rebound in Orion ’s Voltrek EV charging solutions business. Given stronger than anticipated new maintenance service opportunities, Orion now expects FY’25 maintenance services revenue to decrease by approximately $2M to $ 3M in FY’25, versus its initial expectation of a $4M - $5M revenue decline.

Recent contracts/projects expected to contribute to Q4’25 and future periods, include:

  • 3-year contract to implement LED lighting and energy efficiency measures across a major U.S. university campus. Initial project proposals exceed $13M and encompass less than 10% of the university’s buildings.
  • 3-year contract with longstanding, nationwide Energy Service Company (ESCO) partner that is anticipated to grow to $5M - $10M per year starting in Q1’26.
  • Relationship with a prominent energy management service provider serving over 6,500 customer locations across the U.S. Orion expects this relationship to generate revenue of $2M - $5M per year, starting in Q4’25. 
  • Multi-year LED lighting retrofit contract for a national building products distributor’s over 400 locations. The project is expected to generate revenue of $12M - $18M over several years, with initial revenue of $2M now anticipated in FY’26.
  • 5-year contract extension to supply all interior and exterior LED lighting fixtures for major retail customer’s new store construction projects. Orion estimates a total potential value of $23M - $30M, ranging between $4.5M to $6M per year beginning in Q1’26.
  • Approximately $5M in expected projects in FY26 for automotive OEM customers.

In conjunction with the realignment of its business units, Orion plans to further streamline its organization, resulting in an additional $1.5M in annualized savings during FY’26.

Based on a growing base of customers and large projects that are expected to engage over the next several quarters, Orion believes it is well positioned to achieve double digit revenue growth and positive Adjusted EBITDA performance in FY 2026. The Company will provide more specifics on its FY’26 outlook when it reports Q4’25 results in June.

Q3’25 Results

Orion reported Q3’25 revenue of $19.6M compared to $26.0M in Q3’24, based on the following segment performance:

  • EV charging solutions revenue was $2.4M in Q3’25 vs. $2.8M in Q3’24, principally due to customer and utility-related delays in the launch of projects that are now expected to contribute to Q4’25 and Q1’26 results. Orion expects a sequential rebound in Q4’25 EV charging revenue as it executes on its project backlog. Year-to-date, EV charging revenue increased 48% to approximately $11.0M in YTD’25 compared to $7.4M in the YTD’24.  Projects that have contributed to the segment’s growth year-to-date include construction services contracts from Eversource Energy ’s “EV Make Ready” program and a large public school bus EV project in Boston.
  • LED lighting revenue was $13.2M in Q3’25 vs. $18.5M in Q3’24, reflecting customer delays in several projects that had been expected to commence in Q3’25, and compared to a year-ago benefit from a large European LED retrofit project. These new projects are now expected to start in late Q4’25 and Q1’26. LED lighting revenue was $36.8M in YTD’25 compared to $44.7M in YTD’24. Lighting also saw margin growth of 270bps in Q3’25 over Q3’24 due to targeted pricing, cost reductions and sourcing initiatives. 
  • Maintenance services revenue of $3.9M in Q3’25 was stronger than expected due to expanded service requests from existing customers. The intentional elimination of unprofitable contracts in Q1’25 resulted in Q3’25 maintenance services revenue being below Q3’24 revenue of $4.6M but improved sequentially from $3.8M in Q2’25 and $3. 3M in Q1’25. YTD’25 maintenance revenue was $11.0M compared to $12.0M in YTD’24, as new opportunities partially offset the intentional elimination of unprofitable contracts. Reflecting the benefit of new pricing, restructuring and cost reduction initiatives, maintenance services gross profit margin and gross profit rebounded to 26.4% and $1.0M, respectively, in Q3’25 from 6.2% and $0. 3M respectively, in Q3’24. Orion expects maintenance services profitability to remain strong through FY 2026.

Overall Q3’25 gross profit was $5.8M, compared to $6.4M in Q3’24, while gross margin increased 490 basis points to 29.4% in Q3’25 versus 24.5% in Q3’24. The increase was principally due to profitability improvements in maintenance, a higher-margin revenue mix in LED lighting and lower overhead costs.

Total operating expenses declined by $1.4M to $7.0M in Q3’25 from $8.4M in Q3’24, due to a range of fixed cost and compensation-related operating cost reductions, particularly in employee costs, as well as a $0.6M reduction in Voltrek earnout expense accrual versus Q3’24.

Lower operating expenses and an improved gross margin percentage enabled a $0.7M improvement in Orion ’s Q3’25 net loss to ($1.5M), or ($0.05) per share, from ($2. 3M ), or ($0.07) per share in Q3’24. Likewise, the YTD’25 net loss improved to ($8.9M), or ($0.27) per share, from a net loss of ($13. 3M ), or ($0.41) per share, in YTD’24, due to the same factors.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Orion generated cash from operating activities of $3.8M in Q3’25, due to strong accounts receivable conversion and receipts and generated $1. 3M of cash from operating activities in the YTD’25 period. Year-to-date cash generation is related to the improvement in Orion ’s net loss, adjusted for non-cash expenses and working capital changes. Orion paid down its revolving credit facility by $2.5M in YTD’25, including $1.5M in Q3’25, reducing outstanding borrowings to $7.5M at the close of Q3’25, as compared to $10.0M at March 31, 2024.

Orion ended Q3’25 with current assets of $37.1M, including $7.5M of cash and equivalents, $12.2M of accounts receivable, $2.2M of revenue earned but not billed and $13.5M of inventories. Net of current liabilities, working capital was $10.5M.

Orion 's financial liquidity improved to $15.6M at December 31, 2024, as compared to $13.1M at September 30, 2024 and $15. 3M at March 31, 2024. In Q3’25, Orion extended its bank credit facility with Bank of America by 18 months to June 30, 2027. Considering its liquidity position and outlook, Orion believes it has sufficient resources to fund its operations and growth objectives for the foreseeable future.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the GAAP results included in this presentation, Orion has also included the non-GAAP measures, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, payroll tax credit, and acquisition expenses and earn-out accruals ?). The Company has provided these non-GAAP measures to help investors better understand its core operating performance, enhance comparisons of core operating performance from period to period and allow better comparisons of operating performance to its competitors. Among other things, management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance of the business and believes these measurements enable it to make better period-to-period evaluations of the financial performance of core business operations. The non-GAAP measurements are intended only as a supplement to the comparable GAAP measurements and Orion compensates for the limitations inherent in the use of non-GAAP measurements by using GAAP measures in conjunction with the non-GAAP measurements. As a result, investors should consider these non-GAAP measurements in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 

Consistent with Regulation G under the U.S. federal securities laws, the non-GAAP measures in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measures, and this reconciliation is located under the heading “Unaudited EBITDA Reconciliation” following the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this press release.
