Asetek Reports Second Quarter Performance
Asetek has reported its second-quarter revenue, amounting to $11.2 million. This figure represents a decrease compared to $12.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Despite the revenue decline, the company maintains its gross margin at an impressive 45%, aligning with the previous year’s quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA and Revenue Overview
In Q2 2025, adjusted EBITDA totalled $82 thousand, which is lower than the $239 thousand reported in Q2 2024. Additionally, the first-half results indicate a revenue of $21.0 million, down from $24.9 million in the first half of 2024. These changes can be attributed mostly to reduced shipments of liquid cooling products.

Innovative Product Launches and Growth Strategies
CEO André S. Eriksen emphasized the company’s resolve to navigate ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties, highlighting their commitment to strong momentum with both new and existing Liquid Cooling clients.

Financial Positioning and Product Development
To bolster financial stability and facilitate ongoing investments in SimSports, Asetek executed an equity rights offering that raised $10.3 million by issuing nearly 220 million new common shares. In the first half of 2025, Asetek invested $0.5 million in property and equipment, along with $1.4 million for product development. As of the end of June 2025, the company had a working capital of $11.3 million, including $7.3 million in cash equivalents.
New Product and Customer Collaborations
This year, Asetek unveiled the Ingrid, a cutting-edge liquid cooling platform designed to deliver superior performance and flexibility. Additionally, a partnership was established with Antec, leading to the introduction of mainstream liquid cooling products based on Asetek's innovative design, with expectations for delivery in the latter part of 2025. Furthermore, Asetek has launched its Forte Formula Pro Steering Wheel to cater to simulation racing enthusiasts.
Future Outlook
Looking ahead, Asetek is prepared to launch several new products throughout 2025, both in Liquid Cooling and SimSports.
