In fiscal Q1 2025, Mobix Labs delivered revenue of $3.17 million, exceeding prior guidance and marking the fifth consecutive quarter of growth. The EMI Interconnect Solutions products line is a high growth engine. The mid-2024 launch of Filtered ARINC Connectors set a new industry standard and demand continues to grow. In Q1 2025, bookings were secured for these high-performance connectors for next-generation aircraft electronics, and customer designed filtered connectors are deployed in U.S. Army's Apache helicopters while high-performance USB connectors are used in Chinook helicopters. The RaGE Systems product group is a powerful growth driver, having been awarded a Phase 1 SBIR grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to develop a low power, high-performance monolithic software-defined system on chip for satellite communications. Demand for millimeter wave imaging and security detection products remains robust, and partnership with Talking Heads Wireless is yielding results in integrating AI-driven, power-efficient radio architectures. Revenue contribution: EMI Interconnect Solutions and RaGE Systems are key segments driving growth, with EMI's products and RaGE's SBIR grant and related projects contributing significantly.
