FY2025 results

9/29/25Sep 29, 2025

Franklin Wireless surged to $46.1M in FY2025 net sales, up 49.6% y/y, driven by North American carrier demand that lifted gross margins to 17.2% from 11.4%. Operating expenses rose 14.1% on payroll and R&D, yet other income of $2.7M—from legal settlements and forex gains—flipped the full-year net loss to just $(140k). Q4 momentum propelled the turnaround, fueled by higher-margin 5G products. Cash swelled to $40.6M. Two customers dominated 94% of sales. Dependence on few clients risks abrupt quarterly drops.
