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.
