HURC showed operational improvements with reduced losses and stronger cash position, but continues struggling with declining sales and profitability challenges.

The company narrowed its net loss from $16.6 million to $15.1 million while building cash reserves, suggesting some financial stabilization. However, the removal of China from manufacturing operations and continued focus on volume declines in key markets indicates ongoing operational headwinds that investors should monitor closely.

We have manufacturing and assembly operations in Taiwan, the U.S.
and Italy, and distribution facilities in the U.S., the Netherlands, and Taiwan.
During fiscal year 2025, our sales and service fees were $178.6 million, a decrease of $8.0 million, or 4%, compared to fiscal year 2024 and included a favorable currency impact of $2.0 million, or 1%, when translating foreign sales to U.S.
Sales decreased year-over-year due primarily to a decreased volume of shipments of Hurco 5-axis vertical machines and entry-level 3-axis Hurco and Milltronics machines in the Americas, Germany and France, as well as decreased shipments of electro-mechanical components and accessories manufactured by our wholly-owned subsidiary, LCM Precision Technology S.r.l.
For fiscal year 2025, we reported a net loss of $15.1 million, or $2.34 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $16.6 million, or $2.56 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2024.
Product Portfolio by Brand We have three CNC machine tool brands in our product portfolio.
The Takumi brand is for customers looking for top-tier precision and performance typically sought by the die and mold, aerospace, and medical industries.
Due to leverage of shared resources and cross-utilization of proven engineering designs, we achieve manufacturing efficiency from economies of scale.
Companies using computer-controlled machine tools are better able to: maximize the efficiency of their human resources; make more advanced and complex parts from a wide range of materials using multiple processes; incorporate rapidly evolving changes in technology into their operations to maintain their competitive edge; integrate their business into the global supply chain of their customers; and connect equipment to intranet external networks to facilitate collaboration, communication and monitoring.
