Management Commentary

“Our second quarter results reflect the tangible progress we are making toward sustainable, profitable growth,” said Steven N. Bronson, Chairman, President, and CEO. “Revenue increased 18% year‑over‑year, driven by higher gas‑sensor shipments, stronger printed electronics demand through our Calman Technology subsidiary, and contributions from our recent Conductive Transfers acquisition. Sequential gross margin improvement to 45% reflects disciplined execution and a favorable product mix. We expect to see continued year‑over‑year revenue and gross margin improvements in the second half of 2025 and in to 2026.

“Momentum in our gas‑sensor and printed electronics product-lines is particularly encouraging, and we anticipate a steady rebound in our force‑sensing business as demand normalizes. In parallel, we are actively evaluating a robust M&A pipeline and will act when opportunities align with our strategy and enhance shareholder value.

“With a sharpened focus, improving financial profile, and multiple growth vectors, we believe 2026 will be a defining year for Interlink, characterized by accelerating top‑line growth, expanding gross margins, and consistent profitability.”

Revenue for the second quarter of 2025 increased 18% to $3.4 million, compared to $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2024. The year‑over‑year growth was driven by higher shipments of gas‑sensor products, increased sales of printed electronics through our Calman Technology subsidiary (benefiting in part from a stronger Pound Sterling), and contributions from the recently acquired Conductive Transfers subsidiary, partially offset by lower sales of force‑sensor products. Revenue continues to reflect fluctuations in customer demand, which can vary with order flow and production cycles, impacting both the timing and volume of shipments.

Gross margin for the quarter was 45.0%, flat compared to the second quarter of last year, and up from 35.6% in the first quarter of 2025. The sequential improvement primarily reflects higher revenue and favorable product mix.

Net income totaled $100,000, compared to a net loss of $307,000 in the year‑ago period. The improvement in net income was driven by higher revenue and lower operating expenses, reflecting reduced headcount and related compensation costs.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non‑GAAP financial measure, was $323,000, compared to $(80,000) in the prior‑year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measure: Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and as further adjusted for stock-based compensation expense.

We use this non-GAAP financial measure for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core business operating results, such as amortization expense related to our recent acquisitions. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates management’s internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors’ operating results. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors both because (1) is allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) it is used by our investors to help them analyze the health of our business.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP.
