Kopin Corporation (“Kopin” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: KOPN), a leading developer and provider of high-performance application-specific optical solutions consisting of high-resolution microdisplays, microdisplays subassemblies and related components for defense, enterprise, industrial, and consumer products, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 27, 2025.

“Developments over the past few months have put Kopin in a position of transformational change,” said Michael Murray, CEO of Kopin. “In August we disclosed a strategic investment by Theon International Plc, a globally recognized developer and manufacturer of advanced thermal imaging and night vision systems for global defense and thermal imaging markets. We believe this announces Kopin as a global player in microdisplays and application specific optical solutions for defense applications, and drives innovation, expands market reach, and reinforces Kopin’s role in delivering mission-critical optical technologies to allied defense forces worldwide. Defense departments in the U.S., EU and Southeast Asia are increasing their budgets to combat security threats and advancing technologies.”

Mr. Murray, continued, “Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we announced a $41 million private placement with an expanded group of strategic investors which include further investment from Theon along with Ondas Holdings and Unusual Machines. This investment further solidifies our belief that we have the right technologies to co-develop with strategic partners to provide application-specific solutions.

“Lastly, with cash we have available to us, we can now confidently invest in technology and manufacturing development to grow aggressively both in the United States and international markets.”

Third Quarter Financial Results

Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 27, 2025, were $12.0 million, compared to $13.3 million for the third quarter ended September 27, 2024. Year-over-year product revenues decreased to $10.7 million compared to $10.9 million in the year ago period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from products used in pilot helmets and training and simulation which was partially offset by an increase in sales from products used in thermal weapon sights. Third quarter 2025 funded research and development revenues decreased to $1.2 million primarily due to the timing of completed projects and focus on moves to production.

Cost of Product Revenues for the third quarter of 2025 were $8.4 million, or 79% of net product revenues, compared with $8.3 million, or 76% of net product revenues for the third quarter of 2024. The increase in cost of product revenue as a percentage of net product revenues for the three months ended September 27, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 28, 2024 was due higher costs to manufacture training and simulation products and 3DAOI products which was partially offset by improved efficiency in making products for thermal weapon sights.

Research and Development expenses (R&D) for the third quarter of 2025 were $2.5 million compared to $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2024. Customer-funded R&D expense declined by $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, while internal R&D increased $0.4 million year over year. Customer funded R&D slightly declined due to programs previously in development being transitioned into production. Internal R&D increased primarily due to an increase in internally developed technology focused on future process improvements.

Selling, General and Administration expenses (SG&A) were $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease for the three months ending September 27, 2025, as compared to the three months ending September 28, 2024, was primarily due to a decrease in accrued legal expenses of approximately $4.0 million partially offset by an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation of $0.2 million.

Net Income Attributed to Kopin Corporation for the third quarter of 2025 was $4.1 million, or $0.02 per share, compared with a net loss of ($3.5) million, or ($0.03) per share, for the Third Quarter of 2024.

All amounts above are estimates and readers should refer to our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 27, 2025, for final disposition as well as important risk factors.
