nLIGHT Earnings Call Transcript Summary of Q1 2026
nLIGHT reported an exceptional Q1 2026: revenue of $80.2M, up 55% YoY, driven by Aerospace & Defense (A&D) which was $51.1M (+69% YoY). Product gross margin hit a record ~44% and adjusted EBITDA was a quarterly record of ~$13.9M. The company launched the HADES portfolio — a scalable, coherently beam-combined high-energy laser family with integrated atmospheric correction — targeting multi-hundred-kW to MW-class directed energy applications (HELSI-2 and HELCAP progress noted). nLIGHT raised ~$190M net in a February follow-on, leaving total cash/investments of ~$333M to fund a 50k sq ft Longmont facility, supply-chain investments and staffing. Q2 revenue guide is $75M–$81M (midpoint $78M: ~$58M product, $20M development); product gross margin guide 37%–41%; adj. EBITDA guide $8M–$12M. Management says no current capacity constraint and expects continued A&D-driven demand, while industrial/microfabrication (notably additive manufacturing) showed better-than-expected performance. Key risks remain lumpiness/timing of government budgets and variability in development gross margins tied to contract mix.
