Release Date: August 14, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points AmpliTech Group Inc (NASDAQ:AMPG) achieved record sales of over $11 million in Q2 2025, surpassing total sales for the entire 2024 fiscal year. The company has a strong financial position with $16,423,000 in cash and cash equivalents and no long-term debt. AmpliTech Group Inc (NASDAQ:AMPG) has secured multiple purchase orders and LOIs with prominent 5G players, indicating strong future revenue potential. The company is strategically positioned to benefit from major US government initiatives, including rural broadband funding and the CHIPS Act. AmpliTech Group Inc (NASDAQ:AMPG) is the only US-based company providing complete vertically integrated end-to-end commercial and defense-grade networking solutions, offering a trusted alternative to foreign suppliers. Negative Points The company experienced lower than normal gross profit margins in Q2 2025 due to front-loaded investments and one-time costs. AmpliTech Group Inc (NASDAQ:AMPG) incurred several one-time costs, including license fees and initial production line fees, which impacted profitability. The quantum computing business is not yet at a production phase, limiting immediate revenue potential from this segment. The satellite business is expected to start generating revenue only next year, indicating a delay in realizing returns from this division. The company had to expedite material and pay premiums to meet Q2 delivery requirements, which increased costs and affected margins. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with AMPG. Q: Can you provide more details on the orders from the second tier one customer and the expected timeline for additional orders? A: We have already received orders from the second tier one customer, which are part of our backlog. We have two main Letters of Intent (LOIs), one for $170 million and another for $40 million. We have actively shipped against the $40 million LOI during Q2 and received additional orders for production quantities for this year and the start of next year. For the $170 million LOI, we have received about $2.5 million worth of orders, with the bulk expected between 2026 and 2027. George Flores, COO Q: How is the pipeline looking with other operators around the world? A: While we can't provide specific numbers, the transition to 5G OAN technology is imminent for many other MNOs. Our successful implementation with current partners has made it more viable for other large MNOs to pursue this opportunity. We expect a positive response from other MNOs next year. Pava McGul, CEO Q: Can you update us on the progress in the quantum computing space? A: Quantum computing is not yet at a production phase. We have delivered products to large companies, but the market is still in R&D. Quantum computing will eventually power AI, replacing current silicon applications. When production ramps up, our components will be essential, but this is not expected immediately. Pava McGul, CEO Q: What is the status of your space division and the backlog for next year? A: Our space products are geared towards low Earth orbit applications. The satellite business is expected to start next year as satellites are being built out. We have developed space-qualified hardware to support these applications, but significant demand is anticipated to begin next year. Pava McGul, CEO Q: How are you managing inventory and manufacturing to meet demand? A: We have a strong relationship with our customers, allowing us to see their forecasts and activate our supply chain accordingly. This has helped us avoid expediting costs and manage inventory effectively. We are building to order and keeping inventory levels manageable to support upcoming orders across our divisions.
