In other recent news, nLIGHT (NASDAQ:LASR), Inc. reported an 11% year-over-year revenue increase in Q3 2024, reaching $56.1 million. This surge was primarily fueled by the aerospace and defense segment, which saw a record $30.3 million in revenue due to robust sales in directed energy products and laser sensing programs. However, the company is currently navigating a transition of manufacturing operations from Shanghai to Thailand and the U.S. amid challenges in its commercial business.
nLIGHT also launched the Corona AFX-2000, a new 2-kilowatt laser for metal additive manufacturing, and ended the quarter with a solid financial footing of $107 million in cash and no debt. Looking ahead, the company anticipates Q4 2024 revenue to be between $49 million and $54 million, with the aerospace and defense products expected to show sequential growth.
Despite these positive developments, nLIGHT reported a 41% decline in industrial revenue to $11.6 million due to stiff competition and weak demand. The company also reported a non-GAAP net loss of $3.7 million. However, investors may find solace in the company's active focus on the HELSI 2 program, a $171 million DoD-funded initiative, and its plans to leverage its strong position in the A&D market for future growth.
