TransAct Technologies Inc. Reports Promising Growth in 2025 Annual Financial Results
TransAct Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: TACT), a leading provider of software-driven technology and printing solutions, has released its annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2025. The report highlights a significant recovery in various markets, driven by robust demand and strategic initiatives, including a pivotal acquisition aimed at enhancing its product offerings.
1. Recent Developments
In a notable move on August 6, 2025, TransAct announced the acquisition of a perpetual license for the BOHA! software from Avery Dennison for $2.55 million. This acquisition positions TransAct to utilize, host, and market the BOHA! code in its own environment, which is expected to go live by mid-2026. The financial commitment also involved approximately $1.0 million in professional services for transition support, with $1.5 million paid as of the reporting date.
2. Operating Results: A Year of Remarkable Growth
TransAct Technologies reported net sales of $51.48 million in 2025, marking an impressive increase of $8.1 million, or 19%, compared to 2024. This growth was driven by:
- Casino and Gaming Market: Sales surged by 56%, reaching $26.87 million, as customers resumed normal ordering patterns after inventory depletion.
- Food Service Technology (FST): Revenue in this segment grew by 20% to $19.31 million, propelled by a 33% increase in BOHA! hardware sales.
- POS Automation: Conversely, this segment faced a decline, with revenues decreasing by 34% to $2.21 million, attributed to competitive pressures and reduced average selling prices.

TransAct's revenue distribution indicates a strong domestic market presence, with U.S. sales increasing by 25.77% to $42.11 million, while international sales dipped by 5.39% to $9.36 million.

3. Gross Profit and Operating Expenses
The company's gross profit increased by $3.5 million (16%) to $25.02 million, although the gross margin fell from 49.5% in 2024 to 48.6% in 2025. This decrease is attributed to the growing share of lower-margin BOHA! hardware sales and increased overhead costs.
Operating expenses increased by $1.6 million, primarily due to increased general and administrative costs, including a 14% rise in incentive compensation.
4. Financial Performance: Loss Minimization
TransAct reported a net loss of $1.24 million in 2025, a significant improvement from a loss of $9.86 million in 2024. The effective tax rate for the year was -14.4%, reflecting minimal tax obligations due to earnings generated in the UK. The previous year's high effective tax rate was largely due to a charge related to deferred tax assets.
5. Liquidity and Capital Resources
TransAct demonstrated strong liquidity, with cash and cash equivalents increasing by 42% to $20.43 million. The company reported a net change in cash of $6.03 million for the year, primarily driven by operating activities.
