Forward Industries Reports Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

Forward Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: FWDI) (the "Company" or “Forward Industries”), the leading Solana treasury company, today reported financial results for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”).

“Our Fiscal 2025 results reflect less than one month of activity from our recently launched Solana treasury strategy, yet we continued to execute with discipline throughout the quarter to build the foundation for long-term SOL-per-share growth,” said Kyle Samani, Chairman of Forward Industries. “While we are still early in our operational buildout, in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 we generated approximately $4.6 million in staking revenue, and we expect this segment to scale meaningfully as we expand our treasury and unlock additional on-chain yield opportunities.”

“It's also important to highlight the accounting treatment of our SOL holdings. Current accounting standards for digital assets require non-cash changes in the fair value of SOL to be recorded as a component of other non-operating income/loss. These fluctuations do not impact our cash balance, yield generation, or ability to continue compounding SOL-per-share. We believe this distinction is essential in evaluating our financial performance, which is driven by strategy execution—not short-term market volatility.”

FY 2025 Financial Summary (vs. FY 2024)

Highlights from the Company’s results for Fiscal 2025 from its Solana treasury, as well as its global design company serving medical and technology companies, were as follows:

Net revenue for Fiscal 2025 was $18.2 million compared to $20.0 million in the prior year.
Total operating expenses were $13.6 million compared to $7.3 million in the prior year.
Forward Industries’ Fiscal 2025 results include a $160.0 million non-cash, unrealized loss related to mark-to-market accounting adjustments on its SOL holdings. This U.S. GAAP-required treatment reflects changes in estimated fair value and does not represent an actual outflow of cash.
Net loss for Fiscal 2025 was $167.0 million compared to $2.0 million in the prior year. The increase in net loss was driven largely by the non-cash, unrealized loss related to the Company’s SOL holdings.
