Delivered Sequential Growth Despite Global Trade Tensions

Redmond, WA – April 24, 2025 -- Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), the leading global provider of advanced security and data deployment solutions for microcontrollers, security ICs and memory devices, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Management Comments

Commenting on the quarter ended March 31, 2025, William Wentworth, President and CEO of Data I/O Corporation, said, “We are very pleased to report progress in key operational areas during the first quarter, despite a challenging global economic environment. The period represents a first step in proving out the growth and market expansion strategies we have been implementing over the past several months.

“We achieved strong first quarter results, reporting increases in revenue, operating income, EBITDA and cash balance as compared sequentially to the fourth quarter. At the same time, efficiency improvements and streamlining operations resulted in a lower cost basis for manufacturing and overhead. We have made significant progress within a short period of time against a backdrop of significant economic and cross-border trade uncertainty. We remain cautious given the near-term headwinds, as this has created additional strain on the economy and stalled capital investments. We remain focused on setting the business up for sustainable growth by driving innovation and enhancing our products. Our team is energized as we enter a new era for the company with an opportunity to further implement our growth strategies.

“Furthermore, we are encouraged to see customers increase the utilization of their existing systems which we believe will result in a greater need for engineer

Management Comments

Commenting on the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the Company’s future, William Wentworth, President and CEO of Data I/O Corporation, said, “Since being appointed CEO in October 2024, I have spent a great deal of time strategizing with our leadership team and global workforce, reviewing all internal and external operations and sales processes, analyzing our programming technologies, assessing the competitive landscape, visiting with our customers and partners around the world, and meeting with shareholders and prospective investors.  I am even more confident in our brand position and potential to become the platform of choice for our partners.

“Our team is optimizing the current programming platform and initiating a consultative sales process that has proven to be successful throughout the technology landscape.  It is worth reiterating that I’ve been intimately involved in the programmable semiconductor industry for more than 40 years. Source Electronics, while I was founder and CEO, became the largest independent programming center business. This experience gives Data I/O a unique perspective of customer needs. Over the past five months since the CEO transition, our team has hit the ground running by leveraging our collective industry backgrounds as we develop plans to accelerate growth, drive profitability and expand market share.

These short term and long term achievements underscore why the PSV family is recognized as the most successful automated programming system in the industry.
