Management Commentary
VirTra CEO John Givens stated, "Our fourth quarter and full year 2025 results reflect the impact of an extended and highly atypical federal funding disruption, which has affected the timing of awards, customer procurement, and system deliveries across our core markets throughout recent quarters. While these dynamics continued to weigh on revenue in Q4, underlying customer demand has remained intact, as reflected by our improvement in bookings and backlog growth to $25.6 million and strong engagement with law enforcement and defense agencies.
"In recent weeks, we have begun to see key federal grant programs, including the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program and COPS funding, reopen and customers re-engage in the application process. Fiscal 2025 funding, originally approved in prior periods, is only now being released and applications are being accepted, reflecting the delays we have experienced. Behind this, additional funding cycles, including fiscal 2026 and expected fiscal 2027 allocations, are progressing, resulting in multiple funding cycles moving through the system concurrently and driving increased activity across our customer base."
"We are proactively supporting customers as they move through the application, award, and procurement process. However, the timing of awards, purchase orders, and system deliveries remains dependent on external funding timelines and customer readiness, and we expect this process to play out over the next few quarters.
"While 2025 can be viewed as a transition year, the work we have done over the past twelve months to strengthen our sales organization, expand our product line, and deepen our relationships with key federal and international customers has positioned us well as the environment begins to normalize.
"We have taken steps to enhance our commercial execution, including expanding our federal sales coverage and strengthening our marketing capabilities, while continuing to invest in differentiating product offerings such as our advanced reporting and analytics platforms, which have contributed to recent customer wins. Importantly, we have aligned our operations and inventory to support rapid fulfillment as orders convert, with the ability to deliver systems on short timelines as customer funding is secured.
"Our disciplined financial approach has allowed us to preserve flexibility with a strong balance sheet. We are moving through 2026 with a clearer operational runway, and as funding conditions continue to normalize, our focus remains on converting backlog and pipeline activity into revenue."
Full Year 2025 Financial Results
Total revenue for the year was $22.4 million, compared to $26.4 million (restated) in the prior year period. The 15% decrease was primarily due to decreased revenues from simulators and accessories.
Gross profit for year was $15.2 million (68% of revenue), compared to $19.4 million (74% of revenue) in the prior year period.
Net operating expense for the year was $14.8 million, a 15% decrease from $17.4 million in the prior year period, maintaining disciplined cost management.
Operating income for the year was $0.4 million, compared to $2.0 million in the prior year period.
Net income for the year was $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was $1.6 million for the year, compared to $2.9 million in the prior year period.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Total revenue for the fourth quarter was $2.9 million, compared to $4.7 million in the prior year period. The decrease was driven primarily by delays in government funding, customer purchasing cycles, and the timing of deliveries and acceptance across both domestic and international markets.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter was $1.7 million (58% of total revenue), compared to $2.9 million (62% of total revenue) in the prior year period.
Net operating expense for the fourth quarter was $3.3 million, a 23% decrease from $4.2 million in the prior year period, maintaining cost discipline.
Operating income for the fourth quarter was ($1.2) million compared to ($1.0) million in the prior year period.
Net income for the fourth quarter was ($1.0) million, or ($0.09) per diluted share, consistent with the prior year period.
Cash and cash equivalents were $18.6 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $18.0 million at December 31, 2024. The Company ended the year with $30.8 million in working capital, supporting continued operating flexibility.
Financial Commentary
"Our margins for the year remained strong as we continued prudent cost management through 2025's complex funding environment. Our balance sheet strength provides flexibility to navigate order timing variability while continuing to invest in the business and execute as funding flows to our agency customers, while remaining disciplined stewards of capital. Our operating model is well-positioned to benefit from operating leverage and margin expansion as conditions improve."

About the Presentation of Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and before other non-operating costs and income ("Adjusted EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA also includes non-cash stock option expense and other than temporary impairment loss on investments. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently. VirTra calculates its Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items it does not consider to be indicative of its performance and its ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because management believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to VirTra's investors regarding VirTra's financial condition and results of operations and because Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in VirTra's industry, several of which present a form of Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of VirTra's results as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative for net income, cash flows from operating activities and other consolidated income or cash flows statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the following tables:
