"Fiscal 2025 was a challenging year as we addressed the difficult integration of MTEX, absorbed the impact of the Boeing (NYSE:BA) strike and addressed the timing associated with large defense industry orders," said Greg Woods, President and CEO of AstroNova.
For the full fiscal year 2025, AstroNova reported revenue of $151.3 million, up 2.2% from $148.1 million in fiscal 2024. The company said 71% of fiscal 2025 revenue was recurring.

The company expects adjusted EBITDA margin to be in the range of 8.5% to 9.5%, a 60-basis point expansion over the prior year at the midpoint.
"We are focused on innovative solutions to gain market share and expand our market reach," Woods added. "Our strategic priorities in fiscal 2026 are to drive our print engine technology initiatives, capture greater ownership of the supply chain for our consumables, and drive the conversion to our ToughWriter family of printers with our Aerospace customers."
AstroNova said it is implementing a restructuring plan expected to deliver $3 million in annualized savings, with 40% to be realized in fiscal 2026. The company is also simplifying its product portfolio to focus on higher growth, higher margin products.
