Analysis · GNSS · Manufacturing
Genasys reported fiscal Q3 revenue of $7.3 million, a 63% miss versus the $19.57 million consensus, but gross margin improved dramatically to 57.1% from 26.3% a year ago. The company's cash position has dwindled to $3.1 million, down from $8.0 million at fiscal year-end, while a $69 million backlog and management's expectation of a strong Q4 provide some offset. The results highlight a company navigating supply chain and payment timing issues while restructuring debt to improve liquidity.
