This 8-K reports CVD Equipment's Q4 and fiscal year 2025 financial results, which show significant operational challenges including a 33.1% year-over-year revenue decline in Q4, a net loss, and a reduced backlog. These results highlight ongoing pressures from softer demand and geopolitical uncertainty. Concurrently, the filing reiterates the previously announced definitive agreement to sell the SDC business division for $16.9 million.
