Interlink Electronics (NASDAQ:LINK), a global leader in human-machine interface and sensor technologies, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.
The company’s performance reflects a period of intensive investment in its high-growth automotive and medical segments, even as it navigates short-term revenue fluctuations and margin pressures associated with new product scaling.
For the fourth quarter, Interlink reported revenue of $2.85 million, a 4.5% decrease compared to the prior-year period.
Profitability was impacted by the ramp-up of several new production lines, with gross margin falling to 31.7% from 39.6% a year ago.
The company recorded a net loss of $574,000 and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $511,000 for the quarter.
Management characterized the margin compression as a transitional effect of shifting the product mix toward more complex, higher-value integrated sensor assemblies that require initial manufacturing optimization.
Strategically, Interlink reached several critical commercial milestones during the quarter.
In the automotive sector, the company officially commenced volume production of a custom piezoelectric sensor designed for autonomous vehicles.
This represents a significant expansion of Interlink's footprint in the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems market, where its sensors provide critical environmental and haptic feedback.
Within the medical field, shipments have begun for a second-generation Force Sensing Resistor specifically optimized for robotic-assisted surgery, providing the high-resolution tactile feedback necessary for minimally invasive procedures.
The company also reported expanded sales of its printed electrode technologies within the medical diagnostics space, leveraging its expertise in thin-film electronics to support the growing demand for disposable biosensors.
Financially, Interlink significantly improved its capital structure following the quarter's end.
The company successfully converted its outstanding preferred stock into common shares, a move that removes approximately $400,000 in annual dividend expenses.
