For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, total revenues increased to $25,195,930 ¹ from $9,508,372 ² in 2024, representing a 164.99% ³ increase. Cost of goods sold rose to $19,165,917 ⁴ in 2025 from $6,023,265 ⁵ in 2024, an increase of 218.20% ⁶. Gross profit for 2025 was $6,030,013 ⁷, up from $3,485,107 ⁸ in 2024, a 73.02% ⁹ increase. However, gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 23.93% ¹⁰ in 2025 from 36.65% ¹¹ in 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $10,662,741 ¹² in 2025 from $7,856,471 ¹³ in 2024, a 35.72% ¹⁴ increase. Research and development costs were $2,687,176 ¹⁵ in 2025, down from $3,590,695 ¹⁶ in 2024, a decrease of 25.16% ¹⁷. The company reported a net loss of $7,007,155 ¹⁸ in 2025, an improvement from a net loss of $11,242,404 ¹⁹ in 2024. Basic and diluted EPS for 2025 was $(0.33) ²⁰, compared to $(1.04) ²¹ in 2024. Net cash used in operating activities was $8,683,707 ²² in 2025. As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $4,981,091 ²³, with rights offering subscription proceeds in escrow of $6,704,304 ²⁴. Total liabilities were $18,616,618 ²⁵ and total stockholders' equity was $32,862,561 ²⁶.

The significant revenue increase in 2025 was primarily driven by an asset acquisition in April 2025, which added a new revenue stream in 5G infrastructure products. This acquisition led to fulfilling purchase orders for customized 5G ORAN radio products for a major telecommunications provider, which accounted for 42.86% ²⁷ of total 2025 revenues, or $10,797,628 ²⁸. In contrast, the largest customer in 2024, through the Spectrum division, represented 13.97% ²⁹ of revenue, with sales decreasing from $1,327,942 ³⁰ in 2024 to $830,521 ³¹ in 2025. The lower gross margin in 2025 (23.93% ¹⁰) compared to 2024 (36.65% ¹¹) is attributed to the product mix, specifically the 5G radio product line, which had a lower gross margin profile due to fulfillment through an existing contract manufacturer under a transitional model. Organic growth was also observed across core product lines, including LNAs, LNBs, and legacy 5G products, along with a rebound in Asian markets for the Spectrum division. Research and development expenses decreased by $903,519 ³² in 2025, mainly due to the completion of the Massive MIMO 64T64R Oran Cat B radio network.

During 2025, AmpliTech entered into an asset purchase agreement with Titan Crest, LLC on March 26, 2025, to acquire intellectual property for 5G ORAN radio products for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000 ³³, consisting of $4,000,000 ³⁴ in cash and $4,000,000 ³⁵ in restricted shares of common stock. An initial $3,500,000 ³⁶ in cash and $1,500,000 ³⁷ in restricted common stock were issued on April 24, 2025. The remaining $500,000 ³⁸ in cash and $2,500,000 ³⁹ in restricted common stock are contingent on the transfer of 5G ORAN radio products' technology and intellectual property rights, expected in Q2 2026. The company also entered a non-binding letter of intent on March 20, 2025, for the purchase of $78 million ⁴⁰ of its Oran radios, with approximately $5 million ⁴¹ in funded purchase orders received as of March 23, 2026, which began shipping in late December 2025 and are expected to be completed by Q2 2026. A revolving line of credit for up to $750,000 ⁴² was established with Dime Community Bank on March 25, 2025, for general working purposes, with no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2025. The company also amended its 2020 Equity Incentive Plan on October 1, 2025, to increase shares available for issuance by an additional 2,800,000 ⁴³, approved by stockholders on December 10, 2025. A rights offering commenced in October 2025, closing on January 14, 2026, raising approximately $9,072,816 ⁴⁴ from the exercise of Unit Subscription Rights, with net proceeds of approximately $8,103,909 ⁴⁵.

Management expects the gross margin profile of the 5G product line to improve materially as per-unit costs are reduced, following the transition of 5G radio fulfillment to its own dedicated production line, which became operational in 2026. This improvement, combined with the continued contribution of higher-margin LNA/LNB product lines and economies of scale from increasing 5G volumes, is anticipated to lead to an improvement in the blended consolidated gross margin in 2026 and beyond. The company believes its core LNA product line, Spectrum Semiconductor Material, and 5G product lines will continue to be in demand and generate top-line revenue and cash flow to sustain ongoing activities.

A major growth area for AmpliTech is the expansion of its 5G ORAN radio products. The company entered into a non-binding letter of intent on March 20, 2025, for the purchase of $78 million ⁴⁰ of its Oran radios. As of March 23, 2026, approximately $5 million ⁴¹ in funded purchase orders have been received, with shipments starting in late December 2025 and anticipated completion by Q2 2026. The company expects to receive additional follow-up orders into 2027. Management is actively working to expand its relationship with the major telecommunications provider that accounted for 42.86% ²⁷ of total 2025 revenues, or $10,797,628 ²⁸, and believes other major mobile network operators will follow suit for their customized requirements. The company's AGTGSS division is actively developing and manufacturing Open Radio Units for Sub 6GHz, which supports 3.4-4.0 GHz and 2.496-2.69 GHz, featuring 192 Active Phased Array Elements and O-RAN compliance. The company owns intellectual property for several O-RAN 5G radios, including 4T4R, 8T8R, 32T32R, and 64T64R configurations.

Another significant growth area is the continued development and commercialization of its proprietary MMIC technology. The AGMDC division has successfully transferred proprietary technology from connectorized products into MMICs, releasing over 125 new MMIC chip technology products. These MMICs are semiconductor chips used in high-frequency communications applications and are desired for power amplification solutions in emerging technologies like phased array antennas and quantum computing, offering a smaller footprint and reduced costs. The company's research and development initiative to expand its product line of low noise amplifiers to include new 5G and wireless infrastructure products, cryogenic amplifiers, and MMIC designs is progressing significantly.

Operationally, the company expects the gross margin profile of the 5G product line to improve materially as per-unit costs are reduced, following the transition to its own dedicated production line in 2026. This is anticipated to improve the blended consolidated gross margin in 2026 and beyond. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2,806,270 ¹² or 35.72% ¹⁴ in 2025, due to increases in salaries, payroll taxes, professional fees, amortization, insurance, and trade show expenses. Research and development costs decreased by $903,519 ³² or 25.16% ¹⁷ in 2025, primarily due to the completion of the Massive MIMO 64T64R Oran Cat B radio network.

The company's manufacturing facility in Hauppauge, New York, more than triples its capacity and has room for expansion. With an established supply chain, internal capacity, and local contract manufacturing sources, AmpliTech expects to have sufficient capacity to process small and large orders (thousand+ units per month). The company relies on sales representatives to channel products throughout the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia. The company also announced a partnership with NGK Electronic Devices on April 1, 2023, to become their US distributor for RF Microwave products, leveraging Spectrum Semiconductor's distribution network.

For capital allocation, the company intends to finance internal growth with cash on hand, cash provided from operations, borrowings, debt or equity offerings, or a combination thereof. The company believes its cash provided from operations and cash on hand as of the report date will provide enough working capital to fund operations for the next twelve months. Research and development costs for 2025 were $2,687,176 ¹⁵, with $858,325 ⁴⁶ allocated to 5G expenses and $1,828,851 ⁴⁷ to MMIC design expenses. The company has 3,487,375 ⁴⁸ shares of common stock available for future issuance under the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2025. A rights offering closed on January 14, 2026, generating approximately $9,072,816 ⁴⁴ in proceeds, with net proceeds of approximately $8,103,909 ⁴⁵. A registered direct offering closed on January 27, 2026, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $8,319,873 ⁴⁹.

Management has flagged several structural headwinds and execution risks. The Second Milestone of the Titan Asset Purchase Agreement, expected in Q2 2026, is not assured, and there is no guarantee that the acquisition will materialize into purchase orders and new customers or generate expected financial and strategic benefits. Purchase orders are subject to cancellation, modification, or delays. The non-binding letter of intent for $78 million ⁴⁰ of Oran radios may not result in definitive purchase orders or expected revenues. The company has significant dependence on a single customer, which accounted for 42.86% ²⁷ of total sales in 2025, and the loss or reduction of orders from this customer would materially adversely affect the business. The company is dependent on the global supply chain and may experience constraints, semiconductor shortages, and increased costs on components and shipping, which could delay revenue recognition and negatively impact financial results.

Geopolitical and macro factors also pose risks. Global economic uncertainty and financial market volatility caused by political instability, changes in international trade relationships, and conflicts (e.g., Middle East, Russia-Ukraine) could make it more difficult to access financing and adversely affect business. Changes in US trade policy, including tariffs, could require changes in business conduct and adversely affect financial condition. The U.S. Supreme Court invalidated many IEEPA-based tariffs on February 20, 2026, but tariffs under other authorities remain, and additional or replacement tariffs may be pursued.

The company faces several material risks, including significant revenue, earnings, and margin fluctuations, as evidenced by net losses of $7,007,155 ¹⁸ in 2025 and $11,242,404 ¹⁹ in 2024, and an accumulated deficit of $28,019,282 ⁵⁰ as of December 31, 2025. There is no assurance that the Second Milestone of the Titan Asset Purchase Agreement, expected in Q2 2026, will be achieved, or that the non-binding letter of intent for $78 million ⁴⁰ in Oran radios will result in definitive purchase orders or expected revenues, with only approximately $5 million ⁴¹ in funded purchase orders received as of March 23, 2026. A significant customer concentration risk exists, with one customer accounting for 42.86% ²⁷ of total sales in 2025, and the loss of this customer or a reduction in orders could materially impact the business. Supply chain constraints, including semiconductor shortages and increased costs of components and freight, could slow production and delay revenue recognition. The market is highly competitive, with established players having greater resources, and a failure to compete successfully on technology, cost, and design flexibility could harm operating results. Global economic uncertainty, political instability, and changes in international trade policies, including tariffs, could adversely affect financing access, business operations, and costs. Breaches of network or information technology security, natural disasters, or terrorist attacks could disrupt systems and operations, compromise sensitive information, and damage reputation. Changes in product mix, particularly a shift towards lower-margin products like the 5G radio line, could cause overall gross margin to decline, as seen in the decrease to 23.93% ¹⁰ in 2025 from 36.65% ¹¹ in 2024. Product defects, errors, or interoperability issues could affect reputation, incur significant costs, and impair sales. The company may face costly intellectual property infringement claims and may be unable to obtain or protect its own intellectual property rights, potentially leading to increased competition and lower revenues. Inaccuracies in customer demand estimates could negatively affect inventory levels, sales, and operating results. The departure of key executive management, particularly Fawad Maqbool, or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, especially design and technical staff, could adversely affect business strategy execution. Material weaknesses in internal accounting control over financial reporting, including lack of segregation of duties and ineffective disclosure controls, could result in material misstatements and impact the stock price. The need to raise additional capital, which may not be available on favorable terms, could cause dilution or restrict operations. Acquisitions, while strategic, carry risks such as integration difficulties, loss of key personnel, and adverse effects on existing business relationships. The market price of the common stock has been volatile and may decline due to various factors, including future equity offerings and sales by significant stockholders, such as Fawad Maqbool who held 11.74% ⁵¹ of outstanding common stock as of March 15, 2026. The company does not intend to pay cash dividends, limiting returns to share price appreciation. Failure to comply with Nasdaq listing standards could result in delisting. The Series Rights are speculative, and holders may not be able to resell shares immediately after exercise, or the market price may not exceed the exercise price of $5.00 ⁵² for Series A Rights and $6.00 ⁵³ for Series B Rights.

Management's message to shareholders emphasizes a strategic pivot towards high-growth technology sectors, driven by the recent asset acquisition and ongoing R&D initiatives. They highlight the significant increase in revenues to $25,195,930 ¹ in 2025, a 164.99% ³ increase year-over-year, primarily attributed to the new 5G infrastructure products. While acknowledging the current lower gross margin of the 5G radio product line at 23.93% ¹⁰ due to transitional fulfillment, management expresses confidence in future margin improvement as production shifts to the company's dedicated line in 2026. Key strategic priorities include expanding the 5G ORAN radio product line, as evidenced by the non-binding letter of intent for $78 million ⁴⁰ in Oran radios and the approximately $5 million ⁴¹ in funded purchase orders already received, with expectations for additional follow-up orders into 2027. Another priority is the continued development and commercialization of MMIC designs and cryogenic amplifiers, leveraging proprietary technology to address emerging markets like quantum computing. Finally, management is focused on diversifying the customer base to reduce concentration risk, actively seeking new relationships in 5G infrastructure, satellite communications, and quantum computing markets, while also working to expand the relationship with the major telecommunications provider that accounted for 42.86% ²⁷ of total 2025 revenues.
