MANITOWOC, Wis. - Orion Energy Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:OESX) announced Wednesday it has secured LED lighting and electrical infrastructure engagements worth up to $7 million for fiscal year 2026 from long-time automotive industry customers in North America. The contracts represent a significant opportunity for the company, which currently has a market capitalization of $20.2 million and has faced challenging market conditions with revenue declining 12% over the last twelve months.
The contracts involve deployments and upgrades of LED lighting and electrical infrastructure, along with ongoing managed services, at several manufacturing and distribution facilities. The facilities are owned primarily by three major automotive industry customers, including two global leaders among North America’s most prominent automakers.
These engagements are part of ongoing updates to LED lighting and electrical infrastructure at manufacturing and distribution facilities operated by all three customers, according to the company’s press release statement.
Orion CEO Sally Washlow said, "The decades-long trust in Orion we have built with automakers and other manufacturers is a key asset for our company as they contemplate broad based upgrades in their plants."
The company expects to review its automotive market position and new-business pipeline during its first quarter conference call scheduled for August 6. Orion projects fiscal year 2026 revenue of approximately $84 million and anticipates approaching or achieving positive adjusted EBITDA.
