- Net income for the first nine months was $2.80 million, up 259%, compared to the same period of 2024.
- Cash flow generated from operations for the first nine months was $1.45 million.
- Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at September 30, 2025 was $12.39 million.
- Industry veteran, Nick Larsen, new Head of Brand, Marketing and Creative.
CEO Sean Macdonald commented, "The third quarter of 2025 was a solid quarter for Leatt on a global basis, as we achieved double-digit profitability and double-digit revenue growth for the fourth consecutive quarter. It was also the fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth following the post-Covid revenue contraction and industry wide stock overhang.
"Revenues for the third quarter were $14.34 million, an 18% increase over last year's third quarter, and net income was $539,256 million, a 366% increase. International distributor sales increased by 17%, as both demand for our products and market conditions improved. All of our product categories and our core head-to-toe markets— MOTO, MTB and ADV—grew by double digits on a year to date basis compared to last year. With our recent expansion into the ADV market with a range of products designed for off-road adventure riding, we believe that the ADV market represents an exceptional growth opportunity for us.
"Gross profit as percentage of sales continued to improve, from 43% to 44%, compared to the 2024 third quarter, as domestic trading conditions continue to improve, despite some tariff uncertainty. Our U.S. MOTO and MTB sales teams are gaining momentum at the dealer level, and our supply chain team is managing shipping and logistics costs efficiently.
"For the first nine months of 2025, our revenues increased by $13.06 million, or 40%, to $45.89 million, and net income increased by $4.56 million, or 259%, to $2.80 million. Cash flows generated from operations was $1.45 million, as our liquidity continues to improve. All our product category revenues have grown by double digits on a year-to-date basis: body armor by 30%, helmets by 60%, other product, parts and accessories including apparel, goggles and components by 49%, and neck braces by 18%.
"While we monitor the international trade situation, we are continuing to invest in Leatt as a global, consumer-facing brand and to build a strong, diversified, multi-channel sales organization to reach more riders world-wide."
Financial Summary
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2025 were $14.34 million, up 18%, compared to $12.14 million for the third quarter of 2024.
This increase in worldwide revenues is primarily attributable to a $0.36 million increase in body armor sales, a $0.32 million increase in helmet sales, a $1.41 million increase in other products, parts and accessory sales, and a $0.11 million increase in neck brace sales.
Income from operations for the third quarter of 2025 was $630,180, up 2333%, compared to $25,898 for the third quarter of 2024.
Net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $539,256, or $0.09 per basic and $0.08 per diluted share, up 366%, as compared to net income of $115,837, or $0.02 per basic and $0.02 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024.
Leatt continued to meet its working capital needs from cash on hand and internally generated cash flow from operations. At September 30, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $12.39 million and a current ratio of 5:1.
Founder and Chairman Dr. Christopher Leatt remarked, "Our engineering and design team, as well as our entire Leatt family, are encouraged and energized by the growth of our major product categories and we are continuing to invest in a pipeline of cutting-edge products and categories for a much wider rider community."
Business Outlook
Mr. Macdonald added, "We remain very enthusiastic about our future. Although there are still some challenging geo-political conditions globally and economic risks in the U.S. that may impact inflation and potentially demand to some extent, inventory continues to be digested, our domestic sales are gaining traction, participation remains strong, and international ordering patterns continue to improve and deliver strong growth in revenues.
"We're also pleased to have added some new team members to support our efforts to build and refine our sales and marketing efforts, including our new head of brand, marketing and creative, Nick Larsen, who has a proven track record of building and driving iconic global brands. Continuing to build out a great team is a cornerstone of our future growth plans.
"We are confident that consumer direct sales will continue to be a highlight in terms of growth, as brand momentum continues and consumer demand remains strong. For the third quarter of 2025, consumer direct sales increased by 61%, and on a year-to-date basis, consumer direct sales increased by 37% over the same period of 2024. Our digital team continues to focus on building innovative digital platforms and consumer engagement strategies.
"The consistent growth in all our product categories is being driven by strong demand for Leatt products around the world. We expect this trend to continue. With a strong portfolio of innovative products in the market and in our development pipeline, a return to profitability and a robust balance sheet to fuel brand and revenue growth, we remain confident that we are well-positioned for future growth and shareholder value."
