"We had a strong finish to fiscal 2025 and entered fiscal 2026 optimistic about our opportunity to deliver additional growth," commented Victor Dellovo, Chief Executive Officer. "Our Technology Solutions business continues to outperform and drive revenue while generating the resources required to build customer adoption of our highly differentiated AZT PROTECT cybersecurity offering. Our fiscal 2025 fourth quarter results, including 11% revenue growth from the same prior year quarter and significant gross margin expansion, enabled us to report top and bottom-line improvements for the full year."

"The TS business achieved near-record profitability for the fiscal 2025 year and we are in the process of expanding our sales team as we see opportunities to capture a larger share of the services market. Our AZT offering, while still in the start-up phase is benefitting from the relationships we have forged with Rockwell Automation and other niche market distributors. Led by Rockwell's efforts, we have experienced new customer gains across a wide variety of critically important industries. I believe many of these customers have significant potential to become multi-site installations during fiscal 2026 and beyond.

We are also excited about the announcement we made last month with Acronis selecting our solution to be integrated into their industry-leading backup and recovery solution and our largest AZT PROTECT customer, a global pharmaceutical company, renewed annual customer support from AZT PROTECT in a six figure contract in early 2025 which both demonstrates the value of the AZT PROTECT solution. We believe our approach to the market, combined with real-world use case studies give AZT PROTECT a firm platform to signing new customers and expand existing relationships during fiscal 2026."
