MT. LAUREL, NJ – November 5, 2025 -- InTest Corporation (NYSE American: INTT), a global supplier of innovative test and process technology solutions for use in manufacturing and testing in key target markets which include semiconductor (“semi”), automotive/EV, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences, and safety/security, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2025 ended September 30, 2025.

Nick Grant, President and CEO, commented, “Against a backdrop of ongoing global economic uncertainty, orders1 for the third quarter surged to $37.6 million, our highest level since Q2 2022. This order strength is a testament to the continued success of our end market diversification strategy, higher demand from automotive customers associated with 2027 model year programs and increased defense/aerospace spending. We continue to gain traction with our newly introduced products and our expanding customer base. Nevertheless, some customers in certain end markets remain cautious to commit to capital projects. Overall, our funnel remains strong and in the third quarter we further strengthened our readiness for a market recovery and opportunities to scale the business as we continue to execute toward our Vision 2030 goals.”

Mr Grant continued, “Reported revenue for the quarter came in below guidance primarily due to technical challenges associated with a few systems reflecting a combination of new capabilities, new customers, and new markets. These challenges have since been resolved and the shipments have been fulfilled. Operating expenses were lower than forecasted, reflecting rigorous spending discipline, and we continued to generate strong operating cash flow.”

1 Orders and Backlog are key performance metrics. See “Key Performance Indicators” below for important disclosures regarding InTest’s use of these metrics.

2 Adjusted net (loss) earnings, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Further information can be found under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” See also the reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures that accompany this press release.

Third Quarter 2025 Review (see revenue by market and by segments in accompanying tables)

Sequentially, revenue for the third quarter was down $1.9 million over the second quarter as sales in defense/aerospace declined $1.3 million, auto/EV declined $0.9 million, and semi decreased $0.4 million. This decline more than offset the combined growth of $0.7 million across life sciences, safety/security and other markets.

Compared with the prior-year period, third quarter revenue was down $4.0 million, driven primarily by the delayed shipments. Within the end markets, we saw a $1.6 million decline in semi, a $1.3 million decline in auto/EV sales, a $1.2 million decline in other markets, and a $0.9 million decline in defense/aerospace. This contraction was partially mitigated by increases of $0.6 million in life sciences and $0.3 million in safety/security.

Sequentially, gross margin decreased 70 basis points to 41.9% driven by lower volume. The 440-basis point decrease compared with the prior-year period, reflects the combination of lower volume and unfavorable product mix.

Sequentially, operating expenses decreased $0.7 million due to ongoing cost reduction efforts. Operating expenses decreased $1.3 million from the prior-year period primarily as a result of cost reduction efforts.

Net loss for the third quarter was $0.9 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share. Adjusted net loss (Non-GAAP)2 was $0.2 million, or $(0.02) adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP)2.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the third quarter of 2025 were $21.1 million, up $1.8 million from the end of the second quarter. During the quarter, the Company reduced total debt by $1.2 million from June 30, 2025 to $8.9 million and generated $3.5 million from operations. Capital expenditures were $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2025.

At September 30, 2025, the Company had $30.0 million available under its delayed draw term loan facility and no borrowings under the
$10.0 million revolving credit facility. On August 5, 2025, the Company entered into a covenant waiver agreement with its U.S. based lender through the first quarter of 2026 in exchange for pledging cash equal to U.S. debt outstanding. At September 30, 2025, there was $4.9 million U.S. based debt outstanding.

Third Quarter 2025 Orders1 and Backlog1 (see orders by market in accompanying tables)

Third quarter orders of $37.6 million grew $9.6 million, or 34.2%, versus the prior-year period, and $9.9 million, or 35.6%, compared with the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase reflects strength in auto/EV, industrial, defense/aerospace and life sciences while orders slowed in safety/security and other markets.

Sequentially, the 35.6% increase in orders was primarily driven by strong demand in auto/EV, defense/aerospace and other markets. These increases outpaced the declines in life sciences and safety/security.

Backlog at September 30, 2025, was $49.3 million, substantially above the June 30, 2025 level. Approximately 55.0% of the backlog is expected to ship beyond the fourth quarter of 2025.

Mr. Grant concluded, “We were encouraged to see some pockets of customers moving forward with capital projects during the third quarter, particularly in the auto/EV and defense/aerospace end markets, which resulted in a backlog that increased $11.4 million over the second quarter and a funnel that remained strong. The work we have done to diversify the company into these non-semi markets is paying off. At the same time, many of our customers continue to hold back on capital investments in the face of ongoing trade and economic uncertainties, and we still do not have visibility into the timing of an overall market recovery.”

Based on the shipments which slipped from the third quarter to the fourth quarter and the backlog at quarter end, we expect fourth quarter 2025 revenue to be $30 million to $32 million, with gross margin of approximately 43% and operating expenses of $12.3 million to $12.7 million, which excludes approximately $0.2 million in Videology and other restructuring expenses.

The foregoing guidance is based on management’s current views with respect to operating and market conditions and customers’ forecasts. It also assumes macroeconomic conditions remain unchanged through the fourth quarter. Actual results may differ materially from what is provided here today as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices in the United States (“GAAP”), we also disclose non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures consist of adjusted net (loss) earnings, adjusted (loss) earnings per diluted share (“adjusted EPS”), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin.

The Company defines these non-GAAP measures as follows:

─Adjusted net (loss) earnings is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, acquired inventory step-up expense, restructuring costs, and the tax effect of the adjusting items, to net earnings.

─Adjusted (loss) earnings per diluted share is derived by dividing adjusted net (loss) earnings by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

─Adjusted EBITDA is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, acquired inventory step-up expense, restructuring costs, net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, and stock-based compensation expense to net earnings.

─Adjusted EBITDA margin is derived by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

These results are provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net (loss) earnings and adjusted (loss) earnings per diluted share (“adjusted EPS”) are non-GAAP financial measures presented to provide investors with meaningful, supplemental information regarding our baseline performance before acquired intangible amortization, restructuring costs and inventory step-up charges as management believes these expenses may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures presented primarily as a measure of liquidity as they exclude non-cash charges for acquired intangible amortization, acquired inventory step-up, depreciation and stock-based compensation. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin also exclude the impact of restructuring costs, interest income or expense and income tax expense or benefit, as management believes these expenses may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are used by management to make operational decisions, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with our business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of our peers. Reconciliations from net (loss) earnings and (loss) earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) to adjusted net (loss) earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (“adjusted EPS”) and from net (loss) earnings and net margin to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, are contained in the tables below.

Management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures are important in evaluating our performance, results of operations, and financial position. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. Non-GAAP measures as presented in this press release may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

In addition to the foregoing non-GAAP measures, management uses orders and backlog as key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations. Management uses orders and backlog as measures of current and future business and financial performance, and these may not be comparable with measures provided by other companies. Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting the Company to provide products and/or services. Backlog is calculated based on firm purchase orders we receive for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Management believes tracking orders and backlog are useful as they are often leading indicators of future performance. In accordance with industry practice, contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination, or suspension at the discretion of the customer.

Given that each of orders and backlog are operational measures and that the Company’s methodology for calculating orders and backlog does not meet the definition of a non-GAAP measure, as that term is defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a quantitative reconciliation for each is not required or provided.
