Consolidated Results

Our business segments have different factors driving revenue fluctuations and profitability. The discussion of the changes in our revenue and profitability are covered in greater detail in the following section, "Segment Results." We generate revenue from the delivery of products and services to our customers. Cost of sales, for both products and services, consists of labor, materials, subcontracting costs and an allocation of indirect costs.

Operating expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 9.3%, in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $3.4 million, or 21.0%, in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to higher stock-based compensation costs. Research and development expenses declined by $1.6 million, or 50.4%, in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to lower amortization costs and stock-based compensation expenses, coupled with the discontinued development of selected solutions.

Other income decreased by 55.2% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in dividend income from money market placements.

Segment Results

The accounting policies of each business segment are the same as those followed by the Company as a whole. Management evaluates business segment performance based on gross profit.
