Blackline Safety reported fiscal 2025 revenue of $150.5 million, with adjusted EBITDA of $6.1 million, driven by expansion of high-margin recurring service revenue. The company also launched its G8 safety wearable integrating advanced gas detection, lone-worker protection and radio-quality communication, enhancing its connected safety platform.

1. Fiscal 2025 Record Revenue and Profitability

Blackline Safety Corp. reported a record fiscal 2025 revenue of $150.5 million, representing a 28% increase year-over-year, and delivered adjusted EBITDA of $6.1 million, up from $2.4 million in the prior year. The company’s gross margin improved by 320 basis points to 58.7% as a result of higher service revenue mix and ongoing cost discipline. Fourth quarter revenue reached $41.2 million, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of sequential top-line growth, while adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $1.5 million, driven by tight expense control and strong sales execution.

2. Recurring Service Revenue Expansion

High-margin recurring service subscriptions continued to be the key growth engine, contributing $65.3 million or 43% of total revenue in fiscal 2025, up from $49.8 million a year earlier. The installed base of connected safety devices expanded by 22,000 units over the year to 138,000 units globally. Annualized recurring revenue (ARR) grew by 31% to $70.8 million, supported by a 96% retention rate and an average contract duration of 36 months. Service-related gross margins stabilized at 75.4%, underscoring the scalability of Blackline’s cloud-based platform.

3. Launch of G8 Wearable Safety Platform

In November, Blackline introduced the G8 wearable, described as the most connected safety device ever built by the company. G8 integrates four-gas detection, two-way voice communication, GPS tracking and fall-detection sensors in a single ruggedized enclosure. Field trials with industrial customers demonstrated a 40% reduction in emergency response times compared to legacy devices. Early pilot deployments in oil and gas, mining and utilities sectors have already generated $1.2 million in pre-orders for deployment in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

4. Market Impact and Outlook

Management reiterated its target of achieving $200 million in revenue and 10% adjusted EBITDA margin by fiscal 2027, driven by ongoing device rollouts, service upsells and geographic expansion into Europe and Asia Pacific. Sales pipelines in North America grew by 45% year-to-date, with large-enterprise accounts representing 30% of new bookings. The company plans to invest $12 million in R&D next year to further enhance its AI-driven analytics capabilities and support future product generations, positioning Blackline to capture a larger share of the $3.8 billion global connected safety market.
