HURC reports a narrower third-quarter fiscal 2025 loss and stronger revenues, fueled by solid demand in the Americas and Asia Pacific.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hurco Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HURC) today reported results for the third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025. Hurco recorded a net loss of $3,693,000, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared to a net loss of $9,596,000, or $1.47 per diluted share, for the corresponding period in fiscal year 2024. These net losses for the third quarter of fiscal years 2025 and 2024 included non-cash tax valuation allowances of $1,639,000 and $8,158,000, respectively, recorded in provision for income taxes. For the nine months of fiscal year 2025, Hurco reported a net loss of $12,076,000, or $1.87 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $15,166,000, or $2.33 per diluted share, for the corresponding period in fiscal year 2024. These net losses for the nine months of fiscal years 2025 and 2024 included non-cash tax valuation allowances of $5,294,000 and $8,158,000, respectively, recorded in provision for income taxes.

Hurco's near-term outlook remains challenging due to cautious capital spending by small manufacturers and ongoing trade/tariff uncertainties. The company maintains a strong cash position and no debt, providing stability through the downturn and positioning it for a rebound when demand recovers. Recovery is expected in 2026/2027, with potential for double-digit revenue growth and fair value estimates in the low-to-high $20s per share.

HURC's second-quarter fiscal 2025 results show declining sales and widening losses as global machine demand remains under pressure.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hurco Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HURC) today reported results for the second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025. Hurco recorded a net loss of $4,063,000, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, which included a non-cash tax valuation allowance of $1,270,000 recorded in provision for income taxes.

Hurco records a wider loss and a sharp decline in orders in first-quarter fiscal 2025, despite a revenue increase driven by growth in the Americas and Asia Pacific.

Like the larger machinery capex space, Hurco has struggled to find a cyclical bottom, and the current business environment is a challenging one for its generally smaller clientele. Fiscal Q1 saw a 14% sequential revenue decline, with gross margin contraction and a larger operating loss, and management saw a mix shift toward more value-priced machinery. Orders fell 20% YoY and 22% QoQ, with a book-to-bill ratio of 0.86x, indicating ongoing challenges in the machine tool market that others have echoed to varying degrees.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hurco Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HURC) today reported results for the first fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2025. Hurco recorded a net loss of $4,320,000, or $0.67 loss per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, which included a non-cash tax valuation allowance of $2,385,000 recorded in provision for income taxes, compared to a net loss of $1,648,000, or $0.25 loss per diluted share, for the corresponding period in fiscal year 2024.

HURC posts a quarterly loss and revenue dip in fourth-quarter fiscal 2024, with declining margins and weak demand.

Hurco faced a challenging 2024 with weak demand among its smaller manufacturing customer base, with higher interest rates and election uncertainties, leading to reduced capital spending. Hurco's exposure to smaller manufacturers and European markets led to a significant peak-to-trough decline, but orders seem to be stabilizing ahead of end-market recoveries around mid-2025. Hurco has leverage to ongoing manufacturing reshoring, and the company's automation tools can help its smaller customers become more productive, but this is not a buy-and-hold idea.
