‘I've seen worse': Scituate, coastal communities braced to weather late-May nor'easter
Coastal Massachusetts towns on the south shore,, like Scituate battled through a late-May nor'easter that brought high winds, heavy rain, and coastal flooding during high tide Thursday night. At the Scituate Lighthouse, onlookers flocked to the coast to get a close look at the waves. 'Hearty New Englanders are used to this stuff,' said William Danforth of Hingham. He told Boston 25 his friends with boats already in the harbor were concerned with the storm blowing through. Danforth added, 'I think they're feeling probably a little on edge, perhaps.' Brian Fairbank, another onlooker at the lighthouse, echoed Danforth, 'I've seen worse... It's New England, [weather] can change in the blink of an eye!' Boston 25 tagged alongside Scituate's town administrator Jim Boudreau while he monitored the coastlines. 'A lot of times you're staying by the phone,' he said Thursday night during high tide. 'My biggest concern is going to be the wind with the full canopies on the trees. They tend to act as sails, so you can get more damage.' He said that all DPW crews are on-call. Fire and police crews also were increased overnight into Friday. Boudreau doesn't anticipate major coastal flooding other than splash-over near the sea walls. However, he said the area could see scattered power outages. 'Be ready when you see a storm coming,' Boudreau advised. 'Make sure your generators work. Make sure you're ready to go if something happens.' He also warned the public about venturing too close to the shores during any nor'easter, saying it's dangerous for the public and emergency crews., This is a developing story.

Genasys Inc. Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the leader in Protective Communications, today announced financial results for the Company's fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2025. Richard S. Danforth, Chief Executive Officer of Genasys, Inc., commented, 'The second half of fiscal 2025 is on track to see significant operational acceleration from the first six months. Planning and production of materials for the first three groups in Puerto Rico is in full swing with initial implementation on the island already underway. For the full year, our revenue expectations for significant growth in the second half of fiscal 2025, particularly in the fourth quarter, remain strong.' Continuing, Mr. Danforth said, 'The deposit on the third group of dams, which was discussed on last quarter's conference call has not yet been received. Absent the third deposit, which is expected shortly, the company sought and secured additional bridge capital of $4 million from our existing lender to maintain momentum towards delivery on its backlog.' Fiscal 2Q 2025 Financial Summary Revenue of $6.9 million, versus $5.7 million in 2Q 2024 GAAP operating loss of ($6.3) million, versus ($6.9) million in 2Q 2024. GAAP net loss of ($6.1) million versus ($7.0) million in 2Q 2024. GAAP net loss per share ($0.14) versus ($0.16) in 2Q 2024. Adjusted EBITDA of ($5.1) million, versus ($5.7) million in 2Q 2024. Business Highlights Generated first revenues from Puerto Rico dams project in fiscal 2Q 2025 Dennis Klahn, CFO of Genasys, Inc. announced his intention to retire. Amended 2024 loan agreement to secure bridge financing of $4 million, with access to additional $4 million. Announced $2.5 million in LRAD bookings with US Military. Received $1.0 million in LRAD orders for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) from the energy sector Announced partnership with FloodMapp, extending the functionality of Genasys EVAC customers to better plan for and respond to flood events Business Outlook Genasys has begun the implementation phase of the Puerto Rico Early Warning System project, and we have a final understanding of how revenue recognition over the course of the project is going to be recorded. Planning, design, permitting and material procurement is underway for the first three groups of dams. As expected, initial revenues were recorded in the fiscal second quarter for the delivery and installation of a large generator. In the June quarter, we expect to record limited revenues from material being shipped to the island. Importantly, hardware shipment revenues will be recorded at cost. Installations will then enable profits on the material to be realized on a Percent Of Completion (POC) basis for the labor associated towards completion of each dam. Because of this accounting treatment, gross profit margins on the project will be initially suppressed, before eventually reflecting the profitability of each dam's value upon completion. Based on the current production and delivery schedules, and installation timelines, Genasys now expects to realize between $15 million and $20 million in Puerto Rico related revenue in fiscal 2025. While revenue recognition is different than we initially expected, the operational implementation and expected cash flows are no different than our original assessment Despite funding uncertainty at the federal level, hardware Bookings continue to improve year over year with bookings through March up 48% versus the prior year period. Our current hardware backlog, excluding the Puerto Rico project, is over $12 million. Additionally, we expect to receive the first production purchase order under the AHD-CROWS program in the second half of fiscal 2025. Software bookings slowed in the March quarter. Though the software pipeline is up over 100% since the beginning of this fiscal year, current uncertainty at the federal level has begun to affect State and local level procurements. Operating Expenses in the second quarter were down roughly 3% both sequentially and year over year. Going forward, we expect quarterly operating expenses to remain near the second fiscal quarter 2025 levels. The bridge financing and access to additional capital that we are announcing today is expected to provide Genasys the necessary capital to move through the Puerto Rico implementation and to begin profit realization on the project. Additionally, substantial contracts for both hardware and software are being negotiated that are expected to provide further support of the overall business prospects beyond fiscal 2025. Fiscal 2Q 2025 Financial Review Fiscal second quarter revenue was $6.9 million, a 21% increase from $5.7 million in the prior year's fiscal second quarter. Software revenue increased 29% while hardware revenue increased 17%, compared with the fiscal 2024 second quarter. Within software, quarterly recurring revenue increased 28% year over year and ARR finished the quarter at $8.6 million. Gross profit margin was 37.7%, compared with 37.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The depressed gross margin is primarily attributable to the underutilization of hardware revenue as well as cost increases associated with the unprecedented volume of activity on our software systems during the January fires in Los Angeles. Operating expenses of $8.9 million decreased from $9.2 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses were essentially flat year over year at $6.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Research and development expenses decreased 12% year over year to $2.2 million. GAAP net loss in the quarter was ($6.1) million, or ($0.14) per share, compared with a GAAP net loss of ($6.9) million, or ($0.16) per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Excluding other income and expense, net income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles, Adjusted EBITDA was ($5.1) million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with ($5.7) million for the prior fiscal year period. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $7.2 million as of March 31, 2025 compared with $13.1 million as of September 30, 2024. We include in this press release the non-GAAP operational metrics of adjusted EBITDA, which we believe provide helpful information to investors with respect to evaluating the Company's performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents our net loss before other income and expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation. We do not consider these items to be indicative of our core operating performance. The items that are non-cash include depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions regarding allocation of capital and invest in initiatives that are focused on cultivating new markets for our solutions. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis.
