CEO Commentary

"The first half of FY 2025 was highlighted by sequential revenue and gross margin growth, driven by enhanced sales strategies, better market conditions and growing demand for our innovative suite of products," said Krishna Vanka, Flux Power’s CEO. "Although we have experienced some recent lumpiness in orders, we expect our momentum to continue as indications reflect potential increasing order flow for the coming quarters. Even more, we maintain a positive long-term outlook, supported by an open order backlog of $19.5 million as of February 28, 2025.

"Gross margins have steadily improved over the last several quarters, increasing from 27% in Q4 FY 2024, to 32% in Q1 FY 2025, and 33% in Q2 FY 2025. Cost reductions and price increases have contributed to this gross margin growth, combined with a focus on strategic supply chain and profitability improvement initiatives, lower costs and higher volume purchasing."
