SuperCom Net Income Jumps 80 Percent
Gross margin surges as SuperCom pivots to higher-value contracts
Operating income rose 187% to $1.1 million from the prior year period, while EBITDA increased 56% to $2.25 million in Q2 2025, marking twelve consecutive quarters of positive (non-GAAP) EBITDA as of Q2 2025. This margin improvement was driven by a shift toward higher-margin contracts and an improved revenue mix.
"Gross profit increased by 12.7%, for example, to $4.2 million, up from $3.7 million, and gross margin expanded by 9.5 percentage points, reaching 59.1% compared to 49.6% last year. This improvement reflects a strong contribution of high-value technology-led projects and a higher mix of revenue with higher margins. Operating income rose sharply by 187% to $1.1 million compared to $0.4 million, with operating margin nearly tripled to 15.1% from 5.3% in the previous year period."
-- Ordan Trabelsi, President and CEO
U.S. market expansion drives contract wins and recurring revenue
SuperCom secured over 30 new electronic monitoring (EM) contracts and entered 11 new U.S. states since mid-2024, leveraging a centralized cloud-based platform that reduces deployment costs and improves margin relative to European operations. The company also established nine new strategic partnerships to strengthen local market reach across states and is targeting both organic and inorganic expansion through reseller acquisition.
"Since mid-2024, we've secured over 30 new electronic monitoring contracts, entered 11 new states, and established nine strategic partnerships with regional partner providers to accelerate market access. In the second quarter, we expanded into Tennessee, Virginia, and Nebraska, and were selected as the only new EM provider on a statewide procurement vehicle in North Carolina, enabling streamlined access to counties across the state."
-- Ordan Trabelsi, President and CEO
This rapidly diversifying and growing U.S. contract base substantially increases addressable recurring revenue and embeds SuperCom more deeply in a fragmented, high-margin, and scalable market, setting a foundation for continued expansion and higher predictability in cash flows.
Balance sheet strengthens, enabling strategic flexibility
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $15 million, up from $5.7 million at the end of Q2 2024, while book value of equity rose to $37.3 million, up from $13.8 million at the end of Q2 2024, underpinned by improved cash generation, disciplined capital raises, and proactive debt restructuring, Working capital grew to $40.8 million as of Q2 2025
"Cash and cash equivalents totaled $15 million, up from $5.7 million at the end of Q2 2024, reflecting improved cash generation and financing ability. Working capital improved to $40.8 million, and book value of equity rose to $37.3 million, each up significantly from $26.1 million and $13.8 million, respectively, at the end of Q2 2024."
-- Ordan Trabelsi, President and CEO
This stronger capital position enhances SuperCom's ability to pursue U.S. reseller acquisitions, invest in R&D, and manage operational risk while supporting accelerated organic expansion efforts in both the U.S. and Europe.
Looking Ahead
Management did not provide explicit quantitative revenue or margin guidance but reaffirmed a focus on long-term margin expansion through increased U.S. business penetration, additional contract wins, and further economies of scale. The company highlighted ongoing bids for large-scale projects in both Europe and the U.S, stated an intent to pursue U.S. acquisitions to bolster growth, and noted a commitment to integrating AI across core solutions, with related announcements expected in upcoming quarters, as stated by management on the Q2 2025 earnings call. No specific full-year financial projections or deal timelines were disclosed.

Elon Musk's private jet lands in Bella Bella on B.C.'s central coast over the weekend
The world's richest man flew into Bella Bella on Saturday before hopping in a helicopter believed to be bound for a private resort complex owned by media heir James Murdoch near Bella Coola. Elon Musk's private jet arrived in Vancouver on Friday, according to the account on social media platform Bluesky, after departing San Jose, California earlier in the day. On Saturday, Musk and one of his sons landed by plane at a small airport just north of Bella Bella, a small First Nations fishing community on B.C.'s central coast. They then boarded a helicopter likely en route to Nascall Bay where Murdoch — who is also a board member of Tesla — owns a large property that includes the Nascall Hot Springs.

Think It's Too Late to Buy This Leading Industrials Stock? Here's the Biggest Reason Why There's Still Time
Key Points The company's revenue expectations keep improving through 2025. Only increased costs in connection with tariffs are holding back profit increases over the near term. 10 stocks we like better than Vertiv › The stock for data center infrastructure company and Nvidia partner Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) is trading up 84% since the end of March. That growth could continue as the company's underlying momentum is being masked by the effect of tariffs and an acceleration in investment to fuel future growth. Vertiv's quiet growth burst The table below shows the progression of its full-year guidance in 2025. Vertiv's sales guidance outstrips its adjusted operating profit increases. Profit growth is lagging sales growth due to extra costs associated with tariffs and the pull-forward of investment in research and development to fuel growth. Vertiv In February In April In July Increase in Guidance from February to July* Sales guidance $9.125 million to $9.175 million $9.325 million to $9.575 million $9.925 million to $10.075 million 8.7% Adjusted operating profit $1.910 million to $1.960 million $1.885 million to $1.985 million $1,950 million to $2.030 million 2.8% Free cash flow $1.275 million to $1.325 million $1.250 million to $1.350 million $1.375 million to $1.425 million 7.7% Data source: Vertiv, author's analysis. *All figures calculated assuming the midpoint of guidance. In usual circumstances, it's reasonable to expect a company's operating profit to expand more than its revenue growth. Margins should improve in a manufacturing company when it has larger volumes due to the benefits of scale, such as increased production efficiency and lower fixed cost per unit production. However, provided the tariff environment doesn't worsen for Vertiv, future orders and revenue increases are likely to translate into significant increases in profits and cash flow. Where next for Vertiv? Momentum continues to build in the data center end market, driven by torrid growth in artificial intelligence application demand. As such, Vertiv is in the early innings of a multi-year expansion in data center spending, and that includes its involvement in developing power systems and solutions for the next generation of data centers with Nvidia. Vertiv has a bright future, and it's not too late to invest in it. Should you invest $1,000 in Vertiv right now?

Stock Market Today: Tech Weakness Pulls S&P 500, Nasdaq Lower as Dow Holds Steady
U.S. stocks finished mixed on Tuesday as a sell-off in tech stocks weighed on the broader market. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) fell 37.78 points, or 0.6%, to 6,411.37, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) tumbled 314.82 points, or 1.5%, to 21,314.95.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) bucked the trend, edging up 10.45 points, or 0.02%, to 44,922.27. Gains in financials and industrials offset pressure from technology, allowing the blue-chip benchmark to close slightly higher.
