Did LTRX Beat Earnings? Q4 2026 Results

Lantronix closed fiscal 2026 on a confident note, posting Q4 revenue of $31.15 million, a beat of the $30.72 million consensus by 1.40% and an 8.0% increase from a year ago, while adjusted non-GAAP EPS of $0.04 edged past the $0.04 estimate by 4.44%. The headline numbers were backed by genuine operational momentum: the company's unmanned systems push, which scaled from near-zero to $12.60 million in full-year revenue as regulatory tailwinds from FCC restrictions on DJI products and new drone-sector tariffs redirected government buyers toward NDAA-compliant domestic suppliers, emerged as the standout driver. Gross margin expanded to 44.1% non-GAAP, up from 40.6% a year ago, and the GAAP net loss narrowed sharply to $269,000 from $2.63 million in the prior-year period. Heading into fiscal 2027, management guided Q1 revenue of $31.00 million to $33.00 million with non-GAAP EPS of $0.04 to $0.06, and expressed confidence in delivering double-digit full-year revenue growth, with unmanned systems targeted to represent 15% to 20% of total revenue.

Key Takeaways
  • Embedded IoT Solutions grew 34% year-over-year in Q4, led by Unmanned Systems
  • IoT System Solutions rebounded 16% sequentially driven by recovery in out-of-band management and network switches
  • Fifth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth
  • Non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 44.1% from 40.6% year-over-year
  • Supply-chain efficiency and disciplined cost management
  • Software & Services mix increased steadily throughout the year from 5-6% to 7-8% of revenue

“Fiscal 2026 was a year of measurable progress for Lantronix. We returned the core business to growth, significantly strengthened our balance sheet, and closed the year with our fifth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth. We also established unmanned systems as a meaningful growth engine, expanded recurring revenue, and continued transforming Lantronix from a broad-based hardware provider into a more focused, higher-margin solutions platform.”

Lantronix CEO, on the earnings call

Forward Guidance & Outlook

For Q1 FY2027 (ending September 30, 2026), Lantronix expects revenue of $31.0 million to $33.0 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.04 to $0.06. The company expects double-digit revenue growth for full fiscal 2027. Unmanned Systems is expected to represent 15% to 20% of total revenue in fiscal 2027, with continued growth beyond those levels in subsequent years. Gross margins are expected to remain at or near current levels in fiscal 2027.
