Senstar Technologies Corp. reported total revenue of $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, a 14% decline from the $10.2 million earned in the same period a year earlier. Full‑year revenue rose 2% to $36.4 million, up from $35.8 million in 2024, driven by a 5% increase in core‑vertical revenue that offset headwinds in legacy product lines.
Gross profit for the quarter was $5.4 million, giving a 61.5% gross margin, down from 64.5% in the prior year’s fourth quarter. The full‑year gross margin expanded to 65.5% from 64.1% in 2024, reflecting a favorable product mix and efficiency gains from recent redesigns and material purchasing initiatives.
Operating income turned a $159,000 loss in Q4 2025, compared with a $1.5 million operating profit in the same quarter a year earlier. The company’s full‑year operating income fell to $3.0 million from $3.9 million in 2024, a decline largely attributable to increased general and administrative costs associated with the Blickfeld acquisition and the closure of a foreign entity. Net income for the quarter was a $33,000 loss, or less than $0.01 per share, versus a $1.6 million net profit in the prior year’s quarter. Full‑year net income rose to $3.2 million, or $0.14 per share, up from $2.6 million ($0.11 per share) in 2024.
Senstar ended 2025 with $22.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $1.9 million from the end of 2024. The company attributes the Q4 decline to delays in U.S. government projects following the federal shutdown and a non‑recurring 2024 project timing that postponed revenue recognition. Despite these headwinds, core‑vertical revenue grew 5% for the year, driven by steady demand in corrections and energy markets and strong performance in Canada and APAC.
Looking ahead, Senstar’s acquisition of Blickfeld GmbH, completed in December 2025, positions the company to expand its LiDAR capabilities and capture growth in high‑margin security and data‑center applications. Management emphasizes that the integration of Blickfeld’s technology will support long‑term revenue growth and margin expansion, while the company remains focused on maintaining a robust cash position and managing short‑term integration costs.
Overall, Senstar’s full‑year results demonstrate resilient core business growth and margin improvement, while the Q4 loss highlights temporary project timing issues and integration expenses. The company’s strategic focus on LiDAR and core verticals signals confidence in sustained demand and long‑term profitability.
