Note 1 – Business and Basis of Presentation

Overview

Headquartered in West Warwick, Rhode Island, AstroNova, Inc. leverages its expertise in data visualization technologies to design, develop, manufacture and distribute a broad range of specialty printers and data acquisition and analysis systems. Our products are employed around the world in a wide range of applications in the aerospace, apparel, automotive, avionics, chemical, computer peripherals, communications, distribution, food and beverage, general manufacturing, packaging and transportation industries.

Our business consists of two segments, Product Identification (“Product ID”) and Aerospace (formally known as Test & Measurement).

Effective February 1, 2025, we changed the name of our Test & Measurement segment to “Aerospace” to better reflect the end markets we serve in that segment. The segment name change did not result in any change to the composition of our reportable segments and, therefore, did not result in any changes to our historical segment results.

Our Product ID segment includes tabletop printers, professional label printers, direct to package/overprint printers, mail and sheet/flat pack printers and our most recently launched flexible packaging printers. The Aerospace segment consists of our line of Aerospace products, including flight deck printers, networking hardware, and related accessories as well as data acquisition systems sold under the AstroNova® brand name.

On May 4, 2024, we entered into an agreement to acquire MTEX New Solution, S.A., (“MTEX”), a Portugal-based manufacturer of digital printing equipment that addresses a wide variety of markets and applications including wide format high-volume package printing, labeling, flexible package printing and more. Through this acquisition we acquired innovative print engine technology and expanded our addressable market with larger print machines for mid- to high- volume print applications. The new print engine technology enables lower total cost of ownership for our customers, which we expect to provide us with a competitive advantage in the industry and the opportunity for higher margins on recurring revenue. We reported MTEX as a part of our Product ID segment as of May 6, 2024, the closing date of this acquisition. Refer to Note 3, “Acquisition” for further details. Subsequent to the acquisition, MTEX has been fully integrated into the Product ID segment and no longer operates as an independent business entity.

Customers of our Product ID segment include brand owners, professional printing houses and small print shops, corrugated box and paper bag makers, paper packaging converters and co-packers, original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and channels active in direct mail and transactional print. Product ID products sold under the QuickLabel, TrojanLabel, GetLabels and AstroJet brands are used in brand owner and commercial applications to provide product packaging, marketing, tracking, branding, and labeling solutions to a wide array of industries. The Product ID segment offers a variety of digital color label tabletop printers and light commercial label printers, direct-to-package printers, high-volume presses, and specialty OEMs printing systems. We expanded our product offerings with the May 2024 MTEX acquisition to include mid-to-high volume direct-to-package printers, flexible packaging printers, and label printers primarily targeting the industrial and commercial printing segments. Products manufactured by our Astro Machine facility also include a variety of label printers, mail and flat-pack printers and packaging printing, and related processing and handling equipment. Hardware sales are approximately 20% of Product ID segment revenue. The Product ID segment also offers a wide range of printer supplies, repair parts and service. The supplies include labels, tags, ink and toner, allowing customers to mark, track, protect and enhance the appearance of their products. Recurring supplies, parts and service revenue is approximately 80% of segment revenue.

Our Product ID products are sold by direct field salespersons and independent dealers and representatives. In the United States, we have factory-trained direct field salespeople located throughout the country specializing in Product ID products. We also have direct field sales or service centers in Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Malaysia, Mexico, Portugal, Singapore, and the United Kingdom staffed by our own employees and dedicated third party contractors. Additionally, we utilize over 125 independent dealers and representatives selling and marketing our products in approximately 100 countries.

In the Aerospace segment, we have a long history of using our technologies to provide networking systems and high-resolution flight deck and cabin printers for the aerospace market. We also provide the repair parts, service, specialty paper and other supplies for our aerospace customers. Hardware comprises approximately 55% of segment revenue and the remaining 45% is recurring sales of supplies, parts and service. Customers include defense industry prime contractors, aircraft OEMs and commercial airlines. In addition, the Aerospace segment includes data acquisition recorders, sold under the AstroNova brand, to enable our customers to acquire and record visual and electronic signal data from local and networked data streams and sensors. The recorded data is processed, analyzed, stored and presented in various visual output formats. Customers for these solutions include NASA, and defense industry prime contractors, as well as other entities that utilize these solutions in high precision applications for power, rail, and

industrial manufacturing. Our Aerospace products are predominantly sold directly and through a limited number of independent representatives.

Unless otherwise indicated, references to “AstroNova,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to AstroNova, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods included herein. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, including those that require consideration of forecasted financial information using information that is reasonably available to us at this time. Some of the more significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, income taxes, valuation of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, share-based compensation, and warranty reserves. Management’s estimates are based on the facts and circumstances available at the time estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and management’s assessments of the probable future outcome of these matters. Consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Beginning with the first quarter of our fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, we have adjusted our fiscal quarters to end on April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31. Prior year periods have not been recast to reflect this change.

Results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AstroNova, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Update

The accounting policies used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q are the same as those used in preparing our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 enhances expense disclosures on both an annual and interim basis by requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. This ASU requires disclosure in tabular format of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and depletion, as applicable, for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. Specific expenses, gains and losses that are already disclosed under existing US GAAP are also required to be included in the disaggregated income statement expense line-item disclosures, and any remaining amounts will need to be described quantitatively. Additionally, ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and the entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the first annual disclosure period beginning after December 15, 2026 and for the interim periods subsequent to that, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the new disclosure requirements of ASU 2024-04 and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 modifies the requirement for income tax disclosures to include (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic

and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact and related disclosures required as a result of adopting this new guidance within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026 and subsequent annual reports.

No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the first three months of the current year, have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Acquisition

MTEX

Background

On May 4, 2024, AstroNova, along with its wholly-owned Portuguese subsidiary, AstroNova Portugal, Unipessoal, Lda (the “Purchaser”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Effort Premier Solutions Lda., a private limited company incorporated under the laws of Portugal (the “Seller”) and Elói Serafim Alves Ferreira, as the “Guarantor.”

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser acquired from the Seller, 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of MTEX. The closing date for the acquisition was May 6, 2024. This transaction was a business combination and accounted for using the acquisition method as prescribed by ASC 805.

The purchase price for this acquisition consisted of EUR 17,268,345 (approximately $18.7 million) paid by the Purchaser to the Seller on the closing date, and up to an additional EUR 731,655 (approximately $0.8 million) retained by the Purchaser to secure certain indemnification obligations of the Seller to be released by the Purchaser subject to resolution of such obligations.

Upon the closing of the transaction, MTEX became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of AstroNova, Inc. It has since been fully integrated into the organization.

In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Seller may have been entitled to additional contingent consideration of potential earn out payments if specified revenue targets were achieved by MTEX for the three calendar year periods ending after the closing date. The approach to valuing the initial contingent consideration relating to the earn-out requires the use of unobservable factors such as projected revenues over the term of the earn-out periods, discounted for the period over which the initial contingent consideration is measured, and relevant volatility rates. Based upon these assumptions, the earn-out contingent consideration was valued using an option pricing model, which resulted in the estimated fair value being reduced to zero as of the acquisition closing date.

Since the initial preliminary estimates reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we have adjusted certain amounts for the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of obtaining additional information that allowed us to determine the final purchase price allocation. Measurement period adjustments were recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments were determined and calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we completed our final fair value determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The following table sets forth the final purchase price allocation of the MTEX acquisition for the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of May 6, 2024:

The trademark/tradename intangible assets reflect the industry reputation of the MTEX name and the registered trademarks held by MTEX for the use of several marks and logos. The internally developed technology intangible asset represents software used to collect a wide range of data on each piece of equipment and the ability to monitor customer ink usage and troubleshoot issues with customers.

The fair value of the customer relations intangible asset acquired was estimated by applying the income approach using the Multi-Period Excess Earning Method. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”. The fair value determined under this approach is a function of (i) future revenues expected to be generated by these assets and the profitability of the assets, (ii) identification of the contribution of other tangible and intangible assets to the cash flows generated by these asset to apply an appropriate capital charge against the cash flow, and (iii) a discount rate of 15.5% used to calculate the present value of the stream of anticipated cash flows. The fair value of the trademark intangible asset acquired was estimated by applying the income approach using the “relief-from-royalty” method. The value under the relief-from-royalty method is a function of (i) the concluded royalty rate of 0.75%, (ii) projected revenues generated by product sales under the asset being valued, and (iii) a discount rate of 15.5%. The fair value of the internally developed technology intangible asset acquired was estimated by applying the cost approach, which takes into consideration the internal development costs of the technology and a hypothetical developer’s profit margin to build the software, the opportunity costs the buyer avoids by not having to reproduce this asset and any duplicative or unproductive efforts, as well as functional obsolescence of the technology.

The purchased goodwill of $14.3 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes, represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from MTEX. The goodwill recognized under ASC 805 is attributable to the expected earnings potential of the business, synergies which are expected to enhance and expand our overall product portfolio, opportunities in new and existing markets, and MTEX's assembled workforce. The carrying amount of the goodwill was allocated to the Product ID segment. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we recognized a $13.4 million impairment charge related to the MTEX goodwill.

During the first quarter of the current year, we incurred an additional $0.3 million of acquisition-related costs which were included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended April 30, 2025. Total acquisition-related costs through April 30, 2025 were $1.5 million, including $1.2 million recognized in fiscal 2025.

The amounts of revenue and earnings before taxes attributable to MTEX and included in our consolidated statements of income for the three months ended April 30, 2025 were as follows:

*MTEX was acquired on May 6, 2024, and therefore no results are included in AstroNova consolidated income (loss) for the period ended April 27, 2024.

MTEX no longer operates as an independent business, but rather our manufacturing operation in Portugal is treated as a cost center. The majority of MTEX sales are through intercompany operations. MTEX financial results are reported as part of the Product ID segment. Pro forma results as if the acquisition was closed on February 1, 2024 are not provided, as disclosure of such amounts was impractical to determine.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

We normally do not have contract assets, which are primarily unbilled accounts receivable that are conditional on something other than the passage of time.

Our contract liabilities, which represent billings in excess of revenue recognized, are related to advanced billings for purchased service agreements and extended warranties. Contract liabilities were $565,000 and $543,000 at April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively, and are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The increase in the deferred revenue balance during the three months ended April 30, 2025 is due to cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations in excess of revenue recognized during the current period, including $146,000 of revenue recognized that was included in the deferred revenue balance at January 31, 2025.

Contract Costs

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We have determined that certain costs related to obtaining sales contracts for our aerospace printer products meet the requirement to be capitalized. These costs are deferred and amortized over the remaining useful life of these contracts, which we currently estimate to be approximately 16 years as of April 30, 2025. We also recognize an asset for the costs to fulfill a contract with a customer if the costs are specifically identifiable, generate or enhance resources used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recovered. The balance of these contract assets at January 31, 2025 was $1.5 million. During the three months ended April 30, 2025 and April 27, 2024, we amortized contract costs of $23,000 and $19,000, respectively. The balance of deferred incremental direct costs net of accumulated amortization at April 30, 2025 was $1.5 million, of which $0.1 million is reported in other current assets, and $1.4 million is reported in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Note 5 – Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares and, if dilutive, common equivalent shares, determined using the treasury stock method for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units outstanding during the period. A reconciliation of the shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is as follows:

(1)For the three months ended April 30, 2025, we had weighted average common stock equivalent shares outstanding of 67,066 that could potentially dilute earnings per share in future periods. These shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive given the net loss during the period.

For the three months ended April 30, 2025, and April 27, 2024, the diluted per share amounts do not reflect weighted average common equivalent shares outstanding of 451,199 and 181,999, respectively. These outstanding common equivalent shares were not included due to their anti-dilutive effect.

Credit Agreement and Long-Term Debt

Note 9 – Credit Agreement and Long-Term Debt

In connection with our purchase of MTEX, on May 6, 2024, we entered a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with Bank of America, N.A., as lender (the “Lender”). The Third Amendment amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 30, 2020, as amended by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2021, the LIBOR Transition Amendment, dated as of December 14, 2021, the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 4, 2022, and the Joinder Agreement relating to our subsidiary Astro Machine Corporation (“Astro Machine”) dated as of August 26, 2022 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”; the Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), between AstroNova, Inc. as the borrower, Astro Machine as a guarantor, and the Lender.

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for (i) a new term loan to AstroNova, Inc. in the principal amount of EUR 14.0 million (the “Term A-2 Loan”), which term loan is in addition to the existing term loan (the “Term Loan”) outstanding under the Credit Agreement in the principal amount of approximately $12.3 million as of the effective date of the Third Amendment, and (ii) an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility available to AstroNova, Inc. from $25.0 million to $30.0 million until January 31, 2025, upon and after which the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility reduced to $25.0 million. At the closing of the Third Amendment, we borrowed the entire EUR 14.0 million Term A-2 Loan, EUR 3.0 million under the revolving credit facility and a US dollar amount under the revolving credit facility that was converted to Euros to satisfy the entire purchase price payable on the closing date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The revolving credit facility may otherwise be used for general corporate purposes.

On March 20, 2025, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) with Bank of America, which further amended the Amended Credit Agreement (as so amended, the “Further Amended Credit Agreement”).

The Further Amended Credit Agreement modified the remaining quarterly installments in which the outstanding balance of the Term Loan must be paid. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan as of the effective date of the Fourth Amendment was $9.5 million. Under the Further Amended Credit Agreement, such remaining quarterly installments must be paid on the last day of each of our fiscal quarters through April 30, 2027 in the principal amount of (i) in the case of the installments for the fiscal quarters ending April 30, 2025 through January 31, 2026, $325,000 each, (ii) in the case of the installments for the fiscal quarters ending April 30, 2026 through January 31, 2027, $725,000 each, and (iii) in the case of the installment for the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2027, $950,000; the entire then-outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan is required to be paid on August 4, 2027. We continue to have the right to voluntarily prepay the Term Loan, in whole or in part, from time to time without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs, if applicable).

The remaining repayment installments of the Term A-2 Loan were not modified by the Fourth Amendment; the outstanding principal balance of the Term A-2 Loan as of the effective date of the Fourth Amendment was EUR 12,250,000 million. The Further Amended Credit Agreement requires that the remaining balance of the Term A-2 Loan be paid in quarterly installments on the last day of each of our fiscal quarters through April 30, 2027 in the principal amount of EUR 583,333 each, and the entire then-remaining principal balance of the Term A-2 Loan is required to be paid on August 4, 2027. We continue to have the right to voluntarily prepay the Term A-2 Loan, in whole or in part, from time to time without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs, if applicable).

The amount and availability and repayment terms of the existing $25.0 million revolving credit facility available to the Company under the Further Amended Credit Agreement were not modified by the Fourth Amendment; the outstanding principal balance under the revolving credit facility as of the effective date of the Fourth Amendment was $21.7 million. We may repay borrowings under the revolving credit facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs, if applicable), but in any event no later than August 4, 2027, and any outstanding revolving loans thereunder will be due and payable in full, and the revolving credit facility will terminate, on such date. We may reduce or terminate the revolving credit facility at any time, subject to certain thresholds and conditions, without premium or penalty.

The loans under the Further Amended Credit Agreement are subject to certain mandatory prepayments, subject to various exceptions, from net cash proceeds from certain dispositions of property, certain issuances of equity, certain issuances of additional debt and certain extraordinary receipts.

Amounts repaid under the revolving credit facility may be reborrowed, subject to our continued compliance with the Further Amended Credit Agreement. No amount of the Term Loan or the Term A-2 Loan that is repaid may be reborrowed.

The Further Amended Credit Agreement modified the applicable interest rate margins payable with respect to the Term Loan, the Term A-2 Loan and the revolving credit facility loans and modified the commitment fee payable with respect to the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility. Under the Further Amended Credit Agreement, the Term Loan and revolving credit facility loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) the Term SOFR rate as defined in the Further Amended Credit Agreement (or, in the case of revolving credit loans denominated in Euros or another currency other than U.S. Dollars, the applicable quoted rate), plus a margin that varies within a range of 1.60% to 2.85% based our consolidated leverage ratio, or (b) a fluctuating reference rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal fund rate plus 0.50%, (ii) Bank of America’s publicly announced prime rate (iii) the Term SOFR Rate plus 1.00%, or (iv) 0.50%, plus a margin that varies within a range of 0.60% to 1.85% based on our consolidated leverage ratio. Under the Further Amended Credit Agreement, the Term A-2 Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the EURIBOR rate as defined in the Further Amended Credit Agreement, plus a margin that varies within a range of 1.60% to 2.85% based on our consolidated leverage ratio. Under the Further Amended Credit Agreement, the commitment fee that we are required to pay on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility under the Further Amended Credit Agreement varies within a range of 0.15% and 0.40% based on our consolidated leverage ratio.

We must comply with various customary financial and non-financial covenants under the Further Amended Credit Agreement, certain provisions of which covenants were modified by the Fourth Amendment. The financial covenants under the Further Amended Credit Agreement consist of a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio that is tested commencing with the measurement period ending with the fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2026, and a minimum interim consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio that is tested for certain measurement periods ending April 30, 2025, July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2025; the interim minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio was added by the Fourth Amendment, and certain provisions of the existing financial covenants were modified by the Fourth Amendment. As of April 30, 2025, we believe we are in compliance with all of our covenants in the Further Amended Credit Agreement.

The Fourth Amendment also provided a waiver of the events of default that had occurred under the Amended Credit Agreement as a result of our failure to comply with the maximum consolidated leverage ratio and the minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio in effect thereunder for our fiscal measurement period ended January 31, 2025 as described above.

The Lender is entitled to accelerate repayment of the loans and to terminate its revolving credit commitment under the Further Amended Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of any of various customary events of default, which include, among other events, the following (which are subject, in some cases, to certain grace periods): failure to pay when due any principal, interest or other

amounts in respect of the loans, breach of any of our covenants or representations under the loan documents, default under any other of our or our subsidiaries’ significant indebtedness agreements, a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar event with respect to us or any of our subsidiaries, a significant unsatisfied judgment against us or any of our subsidiaries, or a change of control.

Our obligations under the Further Amended Credit Agreement continue to be secured by substantially all of our personal property assets (including a pledge of the equity interests we hold in ANI Scandinavia ApS, AstroNova GmbH, AstroNova SAS and the Purchaser), subject to certain exceptions, and by a mortgage on our owned real property in West Warwick, Rhode Island, and are guaranteed by, and secured by substantially all of the personal property assets of, Astro Machine.

Equipment Financing

In January 2024, we entered into a secured equipment loan facility agreement with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC and borrowed a principal amount of $0.8 million thereunder for the purpose of financing our purchase of production equipment. This loan matures on January 23, 2029 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.06%. Under this loan agreement, equal monthly payments including principal and interest of $16,296 commenced on February 23, 2024, and will continue through the maturity of the equipment loan facility on January 23, 2029.

Assumed Financing Obligations of MTEX

In connection with our acquisition of MTEX, on the May 6, 2024 closing date of this acquisition we assumed certain existing financing obligations of MTEX that remain outstanding as of April 30, 2025. The long-term debt obligations of MTEX that remain outstanding include a term loan (the “MTEX Term Loan”) pursuant to an agreement dated December 22, 2023 (the “MTEX Term Loan Agreement”) between MTEX and Caixa Central de Crédito Agricola Mutuo. The MTEX Term Loan, which provides for a term loan in the principal amount of EUR 1.4 million ($1.6 million) and bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.022% per annum, requires monthly principal and interest payments totaling EUR 17,402 ($18,795) commencing in October 2024 and continuing through maturity on December 21, 2033.

MTEX has also received government assistance in the form of interest-free loans from government agencies located in Portugal (the “MTEX Government Grant Term Loans”). The MTEX Government Grant Term Loans are to be repaid to the applicable government agencies and are classified as long-term debt. The current balance of the MTEX Government Grants Term Loans as of April 30, 2025 is EUR 0.7 million ($0.8 million). The MTEX Government Grant Term Loans provide interest-free financing so long as monthly principal payments are made. In the event that MTEX and the applicable government agency renegotiate the payment dates, interest will be calculated according to a rate determined by the government agency as of the date of renegotiation and added to the outstanding principal payments. The MTEX Government Grant Term Loans mature at different dates through January 2027.

Additionally, we assumed short-term financing obligations of MTEX including letters of credit, maturing term loans, and financing arrangements for working capital classified as debt of which $0.3 million remains outstanding as of April 30, 2025.

At April 30, 2025, we had an outstanding balance of $18.3 million under our revolving credit facility under the Further Amended Credit Agreement. The balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility bore interest at a weighted average annual rate of 7.11% and 7.53%, and we incurred $375,000 and $132,000 for interest on this obligation, during the three months ended April 30, 2025 and April 27, 2024, respectively. Additionally, during the three months ended April 30, 2025 and April 27, 2024, we incurred $8,000 and $11,000, respectively, of commitment fees on the undrawn portion of our revolving credit facility. Both the interest expense and commitment fees are included as interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) for all periods presented. At April 30, 2025, $6.7 million remained available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility under the Further Amended Credit Agreement. Additionally, MTEX has a EUR 0.5 million ($0.5 million) available line of credit with Caixa Central de Crédito Agricola Mutuo. This credit line was established in December 2023 and is renewable every six months. There was EUR 0.1 million ($0.1 million) outstanding on this line of credit as of April 30, 2025.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Note 10 – Financial Instruments and Risk Management

We use foreign currency-denominated debt to partially hedge our net investment in our operations in Europe against adverse movements in exchange rates. Commencing on August 3, 2024, a portion of the Euro-denominated debt has been designated and was effective as an economic hedge of part of the net investment in our Portuguese operation. On January 31, 2025, we assessed the effectiveness of the net investment hedge and determined that it was no longer highly effective. Accordingly, future changes in the carrying value of this nonderivative hedging instrument would have to be recorded in “other expenses” in the consolidated statements of income (loss). To address this situation, effective January 31, 2025, the Euro-denominated debt has been designated as an economic hedge of part of our net investment in our German operation to replace part of our net investment in our Portuguese operation. As a result, foreign currency transaction gains or losses due to spot rate fluctuations on the Euro-denominated debt are included in the foreign currency translation adjustments in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended April 30, 2025, and within the accumulated other comprehensive items in the shareholder’s equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2025 as follows:

Royalty Obligation

Note 11 – Royalty Obligation

In fiscal 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase and License Agreement with Honeywell International, Inc. (“Honeywell”) to acquire an exclusive, perpetual, world-wide license to manufacture Honeywell’s narrow-format flight deck printers for two aircraft families along with certain inventory used in the manufacturing of the licensed printers. The purchase price included a guaranteed minimum royalty payment of $15.0 million, to be paid over ten years, based on gross revenues from the sales of the printers, paper and repair services of the licensed products. The royalty rates vary based on the year in which they are paid or earned, the product sold or service provided, and range from single-digit to mid double-digit percentages of gross revenue.

The guaranteed minimum royalty payment obligation was recorded at the present value of the minimum annual royalty payments. As of April 30, 2025, we had paid an aggregate of $13.3 million of the guaranteed minimum royalty obligation. At April 30, 2025, the current portion of the outstanding guaranteed minimum royalty obligation of $1.0 million is to be paid over the next twelve months and is reported as a current liability and the remainder of $0.7 million is reported as a long-term liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended April 30, 2025 and April 27, 2024, we incurred $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in excess royalty expense which is included in cost of revenue in our consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. A total of $0.6 million in excess royalties was paid through the first quarter of the current fiscal year, and there are $0.6 million in excess royalty payables due as a result of this agreement for the quarter ended April 30, 2025.

In fiscal 2023, we entered into an Asset Purchase and License Agreement with Honeywell International Inc. (the “New HW Agreement”) to acquire an exclusive, perpetual, world-wide license to manufacture Honeywell’s flight deck printers for the Boeing 787 aircraft. The New HW Agreement provides for royalty payments to Honeywell based on gross revenues from the sales of the printers, paper and repair services of the licensed products in perpetuity. The royalty rates vary based on the year in which they are paid or earned and as products are sold or as services are provided and range from single-digit to mid-double-digit percentages of gross revenue. The New HW Agreement includes a provision for guaranteed minimum royalty payments to be paid in the event that the royalties earned by Honeywell do not meet the minimum for the preceding calendar year as follows: $100,000 in 2024, $200,000 in 2025, $233,000 in each of 2026 and 2027, and $234,000 in 2028.

As of April 30, 2025, the total outstanding royalty obligation under the New HW Agreement was $0.5 million, including $0.2 million recorded as a current liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Government Grants [Abstract]  
Government Grants

Note 13 – Government Grants

Our recently acquired subsidiary, MTEX, receives grants from its local government in Portugal to support its operations and various capital projects. We account for these government grants by analogy to International Accounting Standards 20, “Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance”, which follows a grant accounting model. Under this accounting framework, government assistance is recognized when it is probable we will receive assistance and comply with the conditions attached to the assistance. Operational related assistance is recorded on a systematic basis over the periods in which the related costs or expenditures have occurred and is presented as a reduction in the expense for which it is intended to defray. Capital related assistance is recorded as long-term deferred revenue and is recognized in cost of revenue as an offset against depreciation expense over the applicable asset's useful life.

The grant programs have various execution periods - some ending in May 2025 and others continuing through November 2026. The government agencies may verify compliance with the conditions established in the contracts during the investment phase and upon completion and are entitled to propose adjustments and require reimbursement if the contracts do not meet the specifications. Historically, no significant corrections or returns have occurred. As of April 30, 2025, there are no contingencies associated with the government grants.

The capital related government contracts between the Portuguese government and MTEX are defined on a grant-by-grant basis, with partial reimbursement of the assets acquired in connection with these grants. We have $1.4 million of short and long-term deferred revenue for capital related government grants which is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2025, and we have recognized $0.1 million of grant revenue, included in cost of revenue as an offset to depreciation expense in the condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended April 30, 2025.

Under the operational related assistance grants, MTEX commits to research and development projects that the Portuguese government partially reimburses. We have recognized $0.2 million of grant revenue for our operational related assistance grants which is offset against the expenditures recognized for those grants and is included in selling and marketing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended April 30, 2025.

Share-Based Compensation

Note 15 – Share-Based Compensation

We have one equity incentive plan from which we are authorized to grant equity awards, the AstroNova, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan provides for, among other things, the issuance of awards, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), or performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”). At the June 6, 2023 annual meeting of shareholders, the 2018 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance by 600,000, bringing the total number of shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan from 950,000 to 1,550,000. Under the 2018 Plan, we may also issue an additional number of shares equal to the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under our prior 2015 Equity Incentive Plan that are

forfeited, canceled, satisfied without the issuance of stock, otherwise terminated (other than by exercise), or, for shares of stock issued pursuant to any unvested award, that are reacquired by us at not more than the grantee’s purchase price (other than by exercise). Under the 2018 Plan, all awards to employees generally have a minimum vesting period of one year. Options granted under the 2018 Plan must be issued at an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and expire after ten years. Under the 2018 Plan, there were 196,147 unvested RSUs; 60,615 unvested PSUs; and options to purchase an aggregate of 130,500 shares outstanding as of April 30, 2025.

In addition to the 2018 Plan, we previously granted equity awards under our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). No new awards may be issued under either the 2007 Plan or 2015 Plan, but outstanding awards will continue to be governed by those plans. As of April 30, 2025, options to purchase an aggregate of 118,449 shares were outstanding under the 2007 Plan and options to purchase an aggregate of 112,600 shares were outstanding under the 2015 Plan.

We also have a Non-Employee Director Annual Compensation Program (the “Program”) under which each non-employee director receives an automatic grant of RSAs on the date of the regular full meeting of the Board of Directors held each fiscal quarter. Under the Program, the number of whole shares to be granted each quarter is equal to 25% of the number calculated by dividing the director’s annual compensation amount by the fair market value of our stock on such day. On June 11, 2024, the director’s annual compensation amount was adjusted to be $72,800. All RSAs granted under this Program vest immediately.

Our ESPP allowed eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock at a 15% discount from fair value on the first or last day of an offering period, whichever is less. A total of 40,000 shares were initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, there were 6,463 shares purchased under the ESPP and there were 6,045 shares remaining available for purchase under the ESPP as of April 30, 2025. The Board of Directors terminated the ESPP effective April 22, 2025. Upon termination and in accordance with its terms, all payroll deductions made for the second quarter offer period which began on April 1, 2025, were refunded to the participating employees.

Our effective tax rates are as follows:

 

First Quarter

 

Fiscal 2026

 

 

(24.9

)%

Fiscal 2025

 

 

(58.1

)%

We determine our estimated annual effective tax rate at the end of each interim period based on full-year forecasted pre-tax income and facts known at that time. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date pre-tax income at the end of each interim period with the cumulative effect of any changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate being recorded in the fiscal quarter in which the change is determined. The tax effect of significant unusual items is reflected in the period in which they occur.

During the three months ended April 30, 2025, we recognized an income tax expense of $75,000. The effective tax rate in this period was directly impacted by a $109,000 tax expense related to the return to provision associated with our fiscal 2023 amended state tax returns. Additional impacts on the effective tax rate included a $62,000 tax expense arising from shortfall tax expense related to our stock and a $26,000 tax benefit related to the expiration of the statute of limitations on a previously uncertain tax position. During the three months ended April 27, 2024, we recognized an income tax benefit of $434,000. The effective tax rate in this period was directly impacted by a $572,000 tax benefit related to a previously unrecorded reduction in our future income taxes payable balance that should have been discretely recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 when we completed our domestic return to accrual process. Additional impacts on the effective tax rate included a $75,000 tax benefit arising from windfall tax benefits related to our stock.

Segment Information

Note 17 – Segment Information

Our operations consist of the design, development, manufacture and sale of specialty printers and data acquisition and analysis systems, including both hardware and software and related consumable supplies. We organize and manage our business as a portfolio of products and services designed around a common theme of data acquisition and information output.

We have two reporting segments consistent with our revenue product groups: Product ID and Aerospace . Effective February 1, 2025, we changed the name of our Test & Measurement segment to “Aerospace” to better reflect the end markets we serve in that segment. The segment name change did not result in any change to the composition of our reportable segments and, therefore, did not

result in any changes to our historical segment results or the way our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources or makes decisions.

Our Product ID segment produces an array of high-technology digital color and monochrome label printers, commercial presses, direct to package/overprint printers, mail and sheet/flatpack printers and flexible packaging printers as well as supplies for a variety of industries worldwide. Our Aerospace segment produces our line of aerospace flight deck and cabin printers, as well as specialty airborne certified networking equipment and related supplies and services. The Aerospace segment also includes data acquisition systems used worldwide for a variety of recording, monitoring and troubleshooting applications for many industries including aerospace, defense, rail, energy, industrial and general manufacturing.

Our CODM has been identified as the President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM regularly receives and uses discrete financial information about each reporting segment which is used for performance assessments and resource allocation decisions. The CODM evaluates the performance of and allocates resources to the reporting segments based on segment profit or loss, which represents the segments’ income (loss) before income taxes and excludes corporate expenses. The accounting policies of the reporting segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.

The CODM does not evaluate reportable segment asset or liability information, and as such, assets are reported on a consolidated basis only.

Business is conducted in the United States and through foreign branch offices and subsidiaries in Canada, Europe, China, Southeast Asia and Mexico. Manufacturing activities are primarily conducted in the United States. Revenue and service activities outside the United States are conducted through wholly owned entities and, to a lesser extent, through authorized distributors and agents. Transfer prices are intended to produce gross profit margins as would be associated with an arms-length transaction.

 

Summarized below are the Revenue and Segment Operating Profit for each reporting segment:

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring

Note 19 - Restructuring

On March 20, 2025, we announced our restructuring actions for fiscal 2026, which include the reduction of approximately 10% of the Company’s global workforce, primarily in the Product ID segment, and the realignment of our underperforming MTEX operation in Portugal. As part of this initiative, we have cut approximately 70% of the MTEX product portfolio, phasing out low-volume, low-profit and developmental models in the nascent fabric printing market to focus more resources on much higher-margin products that capitalize on our supplies business. In addition, all MTEX sales, marketing and customer support functions have been integrated into our global teams to improve accountability and performance. We anticipate our restructuring actions to generate $3.0 million in annualized savings and expect to substantially complete the plan actions in the first half of fiscal 2026.

 

As a result of the adoption and implementation of our Product ID segment restructuring plan, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 we recognized a pre-tax restructuring charge of $0.6 million, comprised primarily of cash charges related to severance-related costs. We paid $0.1 million of this restructuring charge as of April 30, 2025, and the remaining $0.5 million was included in other accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2025, and is expected to be paid by the end of fiscal 2026.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AstroNova, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 enhances expense disclosures on both an annual and interim basis by requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. This ASU requires disclosure in tabular format of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and depletion, as applicable, for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. Specific expenses, gains and losses that are already disclosed under existing US GAAP are also required to be included in the disaggregated income statement expense line-item disclosures, and any remaining amounts will need to be described quantitatively. Additionally, ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and the entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the first annual disclosure period beginning after December 15, 2026 and for the interim periods subsequent to that, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the new disclosure requirements of ASU 2024-04 and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 modifies the requirement for income tax disclosures to include (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic

and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact and related disclosures required as a result of adopting this new guidance within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026 and subsequent annual reports.

No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the first three months of the current year, have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

These shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive given the net loss during the period.

[1] For the three months ended April 30, 2025, we had weighted average common stock equivalent shares outstanding of 67,066 that could potentially dilute earnings per share in future periods. These shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive given the net loss during the period.
