(NASDAQ-DAKT), the leading U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of best-in-class dynamic video communication displays and control systems for customers worldwide, today reported results for its fiscal 2025 third quarter which ended January 25, 2025. Fiscal Q3 2025 financial highlights include: Sales of $149.5 million, a 12.2 percent decrease from the third quarter of fiscal 2024Gross profit as a percentage of net sales of 24.6 percent was similar as compared to 24.5 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2024Operating loss of $3.6 million, compared to operating income of $8.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024; adjusted operating income was $1.2 million(1) after excluding $4.8 million of consultant and advisor related expenses associated with business transformation initiatives and corporate governance mattersNet loss for the quarter was $17.2 million, adjusted net income(1) was $0.5 million for the quarter after excluding the non-operating non-cash debt fair value adjustment and tax impacted operating adjustment for consultant and advisor related expenses associated with business transformation initiatives and corporate governance mattersCash flows from operations of $12.0 million for the fiscal third quarter and $74.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2025Product and service orders of $186.9 million(2) for the quarter, a decrease of 2.7 percent from the third quarter of 2024 and $540.7 million on a year-to-date basis, a year-to-date increase of 1.2 percentProduct order backlog of $273.2 million(2) at January 25, 2025, compared to $236.0 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and $328.3 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024 Reece Kurtenbach, Daktronicsʹ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our orders grew sequentially in the third quarter, driven by a strong increase in Commercial orders, securing a major NFL stadium order, and a rebound in International orders. Despite the traditionally lower volume in the third quarter due to the completion of fall sports installations, a natural slowdown in outdoor construction projects, and the impact of two major holidays, we successfully preserved our gross margin and increased quarterly cash flow compared to last year through cost mitigations, favorable sales mix, and careful working capital management.” OutlookThe underlying long-term drivers of customers’ desire to expand usage of digital display systems and quoting activity remain strong. Nevertheless, recent actions by the US government, including global tariff policy and federal funding priority changes, may affect near-term business conditions, and may have some impact on the timing of expected and quoted orders. We have been seeing some delays in US-based project bookings across markets. Additionally, costs related to corporate governance matters and business transformation are expected to remain elevated in the fourth fiscal quarter. Leadership TransitionToday, Daktronics also announced that Mr. Kurtenbach is stepping down from his roles as President, CEO and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), effective at close of business on March 5, 2025. Mr. Kurtenbach will remain involved with the business in an advisory role supporting Daktronics’ digital transformation plan. The Board will engage a nationally recognized executive search firm to help identify a permanent Chief Executive Officer. While this process continues, the Board has appointed Brad Wiemann, the Company’s Executive Vice President, as Interim President and CEO. Mr. Wiemann has been with Daktronics since 1993. He has served in a variety of roles at the Company across manufacturing, engineering, product development and other functions. In his current role, he oversees the Company’s Commercial and High Schools & Parks and Recreation business units. He has played a key role in standardizing products to simplify engineering and manufacturing for outdoor products, such as billboards and message centers, as well as developing Daktronics’ sales and service channels. To further accelerate the Company’s transformation, Daktronics Board member and former CFO of Wells Fargo, Howard Atkins, has been appointed Acting CFO and Chief Transformation Officer, effective at close of business today, March 5, 2025. This transition allows Sheila Anderson to focus on her role as Chief Data and Analytics Officer, a position she assumed in October 2024, while the Company’s search for a permanent CFO proceeds. The Board has also appointed Andrew Siegel, currently the Company’s lead independent director, to serve as the new independent Chair of the Board. Mr. Siegel is an accomplished investor and sports, media and technology executive. These appointments support the Board-led business transformation intended to position the Company for its next phase of innovation, commercial growth and global market expansion. “Since its founding over 50 years ago, Daktronics has grown into a world leader in video communications displays and control systems,” said Mr. Kurtenbach. “I am incredibly proud of what we have been able to achieve together, and deeply humbled by the remarkable hard work, commitment and loyalty of our team members that has enabled us to get to this point. I am confident that Daktronics has a strong foundation in place, supported by the increasing momentum from the Company’s transformation, to continue its global growth. This is the right moment for me to step back as CEO and to turn the business over to the next generation of leadership. I believe Daktronics is well-positioned to expand its market leadership position and create significant long-term value for our customers, shareholders and all stakeholders.” “On behalf of the Board, I want to express our gratitude and highest respect to Reece for his leadership and continued commitment to Daktronics,” Mr. Siegel said. “During Reece’s 34-year tenure – including 12 years as CEO – he has been a thoughtful leader and mentor to the team, and instrumental in building Daktronics into the world-class business it is today. From developing groundbreaking new technology and expanding Daktronics’ global footprint into new markets, Reece has helped establish Daktronics as an industry leader. We will continue to benefit from his expertise and deep industry relationships as we welcome this next chapter of evolution for Daktronics.” Siegel continued, “Daktronics is a world-class business with an unmatched culture of excellence – from the quality of our engineering, manufacturing and installation expertise, our solution-oriented sales team, to our committed customer service throughout the entire lifetime of display use. We must build on these strengths while looking into new technology advancements and services to accelerate Daktronics’ growth potential. With the benefit of fresh perspectives and diversified experience, Daktronics can further capture its potential and secure our market leadership.” Update on Business and Digital Transformation “During the quarter, we completed the rigorous analysis and planning phase of our business transformation plan. The transformation, built upon our market leadership position, our technical and strengthening operating financial profile, and our capable employees, was designed and structured to support our ambitious targets to grow revenue faster than our addressable market, currently estimated in the 7-10 percent range, expand operating margins of a sustainable 10-12 percent, and achieve 17-20 percent return on capital by fiscal 2028. In concert with these efforts, we continue to advance our digital transformation projects to realize efficiencies across the company and in interactions with our customers. We have also added rigor to our annual planning, capital allocation and risk assessment processes," said Sheila Anderson, CFO and Chief Data and Analytics Officer. The business transformation, overseen by management and the board, is focused on completing initiatives with velocity in the following categories, with preponderance of benefits expected in the second half of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027. Driving profitable growth Prioritizing most profitable sales channels on a global basisStrategic pricing and value selling activities enhancementsPriority development of new products for displays and control systems Driving down product costs and structural costs Agile alignment and optimization of our global manufacturing resourcesCompany wide re-invigoration of operational efficiency practicesRenegotiation of key supply agreements and scrubbing the entire supply chainSimplifying product complexities to enhance cost-effectiveness and reliability Digital transformation, supporting aggressive growth, data-driven planning and operational efficiencies Enhanced enterprise performance management tools deploymentRedesigning front-end quoting and sales processes, building in automation and efficiencyData driven culture and development of data platformsLower of information technology maintenance spend Daktronics is also introducing a new management compensation plan to retain and attract the best talent and align incentives with long-term shareholder interests. This is designed to reinforce incredible teamwork and ensure Daktronics continues to deliver enhanced customer value for long-term success for all stakeholders. Anderson continued, "Our transformation is already gaining momentum by achieving quick wins in the last quarter, including adjustments to service parts pricing systems, negotiations of lower cost material supply contracts, and implementation of manufacturing operational efficiencies in our high school product focused factory. Our dedicated Business Transformation Office is in operation to maintain momentum, oversee a disciplined implementation process, and ensure financial targets are met with accountability at every level." Third Quarter ResultsOrders for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased by 2.7 percent from the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Order volume for the quarter declined primarily due to an order decrease in the Live Events, High School Park and Recreation, and Transportation business units. Variability in orders between periods is natural in these large project business areas and the time of year for sports projects and due to some delayed buying behaviors. In Live Events, we booked a large project during the quarter for a new NFL stadium system. These declines were offset by order bookings in the Commercial business unit and the International business unit, both led by strength in the Out-of-Home niche. Orders for the first nine months of the year increased 1.2 percent. Third quarter fiscal 2025 orders increased by 5.2 percent from the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased by 12.2 percent as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The third quarter of every fiscal year is characterized by seasonally lower volume. The sales decrease was driven by comparatively lower volumes in the Live Events and Transportation business units, partially offset by increased order fulfillment in the Commercial, High School Park and Recreation, and International business units. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased slightly to 24.6 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to 24.5 percent a year earlier. We reduced shifts and work schedules to adjust for lower volumes to preserve gross profit margin as we continue to drive operational efficiencies. Operating expenses increased to $40.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to $33.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Increased operating expenses reflect investments in staffing resources to support information technology and digital transformation plans as well as sales team expansion to support opportunities for future growth. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we incurred $2.1 million of consultant related expenses associated with the previously announced strategic and digital transformation initiatives and $2.7 million of costs related to corporate governance matters including redomiciling and shareholder relations legal and advisory costs. The above changes resulted in an operating margin loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 of 2.4 percent as compared to an operating margin income of 4.7 percent a year earlier. For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, adjusted for consultant and governance matters related expenses, adjusted operating margin income was 0.8 percent(1). The increase in interest income, net for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the same period one year ago was primarily due to interest income earned on cash balances. For the quarter ended January 25, 2025, we recorded $14.1 million of expense for the non-cash change in fair value of a convertible note payable, which is accounted for under the fair value option. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 produced an effective tax rate of 3.7 percent primarily due to the tax effect of the increase of the convertible note fair value adjustment to expense that is not deductible for tax purposes reduced by the tax effect of the period's decrease in pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was 15.0 percent due to a decrease in the fair value adjustment in proportion to the increase in pre-tax income for the period. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Cash, restricted cash and marketable securities totaled $132.2 million at January 25, 2025, and $42.5 million of total current and long-term debt was outstanding as of that date, which included $23.9 million of face value and convertible fair value adjustments of $19.1 million, and is net of $0.5 million of debt issuance costs. There were no draw-downs on the asset-based revolving credit facility during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, and $33.4 million was available to draw at January 25, 2025. During the quarter, we converted a total of $13.9 million face value ($7.0 million on December 3, 2024 and $6.9 million on January 3, 2024) of the $25.0 million senior second lien secured promissory note (the "Convertible Note") and stopped accruing interest on this portion of note. Upon the occurrence of the two conversions, and in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Note, the Company issued and delivered 2.2 million shares of the Company's common stock on January 27, 2025, the first trading day after the effective date of the percentage cap increase to 14.99 percent. The fair value of these conversions totaled $36.8 million. During the quarter, we also issued a forced conversion notice of $6.9 million face value of the note on January 10, 2025, effective February 3, 2025. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we issued 1.1 million shares for this conversion. On February 10, 2025, we issued notice that we would force the conversion of the fourth and final tranche of approximately $4.2 million face value and approximately 0.7 million shares on March 4, 2025, eliminating this debt upon final issuance of these shares. In the first nine months of fiscal 2025, Daktronics generated $74.8 million of cash from operations and used $14.7 million for purchases of property and equipment and used $9.0 million for share repurchases. At the end of the fiscal 2025 third quarter, the working capital ratio was 2.4 to 1. Inventory levels dropped 18.3 percent since the end of the 2024 fiscal year on April 27, 2024. Management’s focus remains on managing working capital through expected growth of the company and through the dynamic business cycles.
