Q: How should investors think about the seasonality going forward for core OSS in light of the strong bookings execution and the government shutdown? A: Typically, OSS sees higher revenues in the second half of the year due to the timing of bookings, especially as the government approaches the holiday period. This pattern is expected to continue into 2026, albeit with a moderated ramp compared to 2025. The government shutdown may affect the timing of bookings, but OSS has sufficient backlog to meet its 2025 guidance.
Q: Can you update us on the data center market opportunity and the advancements you’re making? A: OSS has launched Ponto, a larger version of its GPU expansion solution, which is under evaluation by several customers in the data center market. The company is also introducing new technologies like PCI Gen 6 to enhance its offerings. On the army situational awareness side, testing continues, although the government shutdown has stalled some evaluations.
Q: What was behind the strong performance of the Bresner segment, and what are the expectations for the final quarter of the year? A: Bresner’s strong performance was driven by recovery in industrial markets and favorable FX impacts. The segment grew by $2.3 million, with $600,000 due to FX. For the fourth quarter, Bresner is expected to perform similarly to the third quarter, with some shipments potentially impacting the timing of revenue recognition.
