**Data I/O Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results**

***Delivered Second Consecutive Quarter of Sequential Bookings Growth***

***Preparing to Scale Through Revenue Growth & Market Expansion***

**Redmond, WA – July 24, 2025 --** Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), the leading global provider of advanced security and data deployment solutions for microcontrollers, security ICs and memory devices, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

**Management Comments** 

Commenting on the quarter ended June 30, 2025, William Wentworth, President and CEO of Data I/O Corporation, said, "For the second consecutive quarter we delivered increased bookings as compared to the first quarter 2025 and fourth quarter 2024. As a testament to our renewed focus on our core programming platform, we received a significant automated programming system order late in the second quarter from a leading global automotive EV supplier. Data I/O's PSV automated programming systems with Lumen®X programming platform was selected after a complex evaluation, including rigorous performance analysis of the new Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 4.0 support. We received an order for 10 systems valued at over $1.4 million from one of the largest EV manufacturing suppliers in China due to our robust support for UFS 4.0 technology.

"This order reflects the importance of our continued R&D investments to meet the needs of the growing market for high-density flash applications. Overall, programming requirements for semiconductor technologies are becoming increasingly complex due to growing densities in flash memory and microcontrollers. We believe these complexities create opportunities for Data I/O to differentiate our technology from alternative solutions.

"While we look forward to formally announcing our long-term product roadmap later this year, we are on a rapid pace of innovation. In the first quarter of this year, we introduced our new Unified Programming Platform Strategy with a suite of refreshed manual programmers: the Lumen®X-M8 and the FlashCORE III-M4. In the second quarter, we received our first order for UFS 4.0 support, marking a critical technology milestone for the Company.

"UFS memory is the highest growth market in silicon for flash memory with a CAGR expected to be 14% over the next five years. At the same time, we are preparing for the next generation of high-density memory technology supporting up to 1TB of UFS memory which is expected in the market by 2027. The increased memory is needed for applications associated with continued advancements in AI applications. Data I/O is leveraging our technology leadership to address these complexities and we are confident that our success will lead to meaningful long-term growth."

**Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results**

Net sales in the second quarter 2025 were $5.9 million, down from $6.2 million in the first quarter 2025 and up from $5.1 million in the second quarter 2024. First quarter 2025 revenues were elevated due to the completion of a large order received in the first quarter 2024. Overall demand for capital equipment continued to be negatively impacted by ongoing global trade and tariff negotiations through most of the second quarter 2025. Automotive electronics, as a primary business segment, represented 66% of second quarter 2025 bookings compared to 59% for all of 2024. For the second quarter 2025, consumable adapters and services represented 50% of total revenue and provide a stable base of re-occurring revenue.

New bookings activities picked up in the latter half of the second quarter as customers had been delaying purchase decisions amid ongoing global trade and tariff concerns. Second quarter 2025 bookings were $5.8 million, up from $4.6 million in the first quarter 2025 and $5.6 million in the second quarter 2024. Backlog on June 30, 2025 was $2.8 million, down from $3.0 million from March 31, 2025. Second quarter 2025 bookings and backlog include an order for 10 PSV automated programming systems with Lumen®X programming platform from one of the largest EV manufacturing suppliers in China valued at over $1.4 million which is expected to be delivered during the second half of the year. Additionally, deferred revenue was approximately $1.3 million on June 30, 2025, down from $1.5 million on March 31, 2025.

Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 49.8% in the second quarter 2025, as compared to 51.6% in the first quarter 2025 and 54.5% in the prior year period. A lower margin product mix and configuration of automated systems driven by a large customer order led to reduced margins. Direct material costs remained steady and consistent with prior periods. Ongoing supply chain planning and other actions have been mitigating the impact of new tariffs, trade and inflationary pressures, including shifting material sourcing and product manufacturing.

Operating expenses for the second quarter 2025 were $3.8 million, up from $3.6 million in the first quarter 2025 and $3.3 million in the prior year period. Second quarter 2025 spending tracks closely with overall reduced spending for the Company after excluding approximately $480,000 in one-time expenses which are part of the Company's investments in the core programming platform and information systems, as well as for leadership and other human resource transition requirements. First quarter operating expenses are typically higher than other quarters of the year due to the inclusion of public company costs pertaining to audit, regulatory filings and NASDAQ fees, with a total of $300,000 recorded in the first quarter 2025.\*

Net loss in the second quarter 2025 was ($742,000) or ($0.08) per share, compared to net loss of ($797,000) or ($0.09) per share for the prior year period and ($382,000) or ($0.04) per share in the first quarter 2025. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), which excludes equity compensation, was ($437,000) in the second quarter 2025, compared to ($98,000) in the first quarter 2025 and $3,000 in the second quarter 2024. Second quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA would have been $43,000 excluding one-time expenses/investments of approximately $480,000 in the period.\*

The Company's balance sheet and liquidity remained solid with cash at the end of the second quarter 2025 at $10.0 million as compared to $10.3 million on December 31, 2024. The decreased cash balance reflects one-time expenses and investments in the second quarter, partially offset by an otherwise improved cost structure and lower inventory levels. Data I/O had net working capital of $15.6 million on June 30, 2025, relatively flat as compared to December 31, 2024. The Company continues to have no debt.
