Rhode Island, Middletown - On Tuesday, KVH Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: KVHI) announced its fourth-quarter results, meeting earnings expectations but exceeding revenue forecasts.

The company’s stock fell 4.45% in after-hours trading.

This maritime connectivity service provider reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.02 for the quarter, in line with analyst expectations.

Revenue reached $30.5 million, surpassing the consensus estimate of $29.34 million and up 13% from $26.9 million in Q4 2024.

Service revenue drove growth, increasing 27% year-over-year to $28.3 million, mainly due to increased sales of LEO satellite services from Starlink and OneWeb subscribers. Product revenue declined 52% to $2.2 million, pressured by discounted pricing and competition from low-cost alternatives.

The company posted a net profit of $300,000, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.3 million, or -$0.22 per share, in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA reached $3.1 million, up from $500,000 in Q4 2024.

CEO Brent C. Bruun stated, “As LEO satellite technology and new market entrants continue to reshape the competitive landscape, the maritime connectivity market is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Over the past year, we doubled our investment in Starlink to support growing demand, surpassed 1,000 CommBox Edge subscribers, and are preparing to launch on-vessel managed IT services in the near term.”

For the full fiscal year 2025, revenue declined 2% to $111 million, compared to $113.8 million in 2024. The company reported a net loss of $7.4 million, or -$0.38 per share, versus a net loss of $11 million, or -$0.57 per share, in 2024.

The board approved increasing the share repurchase program from $10 million to $15 million, citing recent revenue growth and improved profitability, and believing the company’s stock is undervalued.
