“…robotics sales of approximately $37.3 million increasing 71% year over year, supported by growth across equipment and autonomy subscriptions…”
Caveats
- One company's robotics line (equipment plus autonomy subscriptions), not the whole cleaning-robot market.
- 'Year-to-date robotics sales already exceeding full-year 2025' is the CEO's wording in the same release; the nine-month dollar figure ($95.3 million) was given on the earnings call, not in the release.
- The release says parts shortages held back shipments (backlog about $118 million, company-wide).
