AmpliTech Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPG) reported first-quarter revenue of $5.35 million, a 48.6% increase from the same period a year ago, as the company advances the commercialization of its 5G and satellite communication technologies.
“We achieved substantial revenue growth YoY, expanded gross margins significantly, strengthened our balance sheet, and continued transitioning key technologies from development into commercial deployment,” Fawad Maqbool, Chief Executive Officer of AmpliTech Group, said in a statement.
The Hauppauge, New-York based company reported a net loss of $1.52 million for the quarter ended March 31, a 17.3% improvement from the loss in the prior-year period. Gross margin widened to 48.0% from 33.0% a year earlier. The company did not provide consensus estimates for revenue or earnings.
Shares of AmpliTech showed a modest gain of 0.37% on the day of the announcement. Management affirmed its full-year revenue guidance but cautioned that customer delivery schedules and production timing mean revenue will be “more heavily weighted toward the second half of the year.”
The strong top-line growth was fueled by AmpliTech’s manufacturing and engineering segment, where revenue grew to $3.28 million from just $0.99 million in the first quarter of 2025. The company designs and manufactures advanced radio frequency (RF) components and systems for satellite, 5G/6G telecom, quantum computing, and defense applications.
AmpliTech bolstered its balance sheet during the quarter, completing a rights offering and a registered direct offering that generated combined net proceeds exceeding $16 million. The company ended the period with $18.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and remains debt-free. Working capital improved to approximately $25.4 million from $10.2 million at the end of 2025.
The company noted that research and development expenses were lower year-over-year as several products, including its 5G Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) systems and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) chip designs, moved from development into commercialization phases.
The results show progress in turning technological development into revenue, but the back-half weighted guidance puts the focus on the company's ability to execute on its order flow. Investors will be watching for continued commercial traction in the 5G, defense, and satellite markets to see if the growth trajectory can be sustained through the rest of the year.
