MetaOptics FY25 losses widen to S$5.4 million despite rise in revenue
Expenses across the board increased, with finance expenses for the full year clocking the highest increase of over 90 times
[SINGAPORE] MetaOptics loss for FY2025 deepened to S$5.4 million from S$2 million previously, it said in a regulatory filing on Friday (Feb 27).
 
The semiconductor optics company posted an almost nine times increase in full-year revenue to S$787,388 from S$79,440 previously.
 
This was mainly driven by higher sales of equipment from a customer&rsquo s direct laser writer order, as well as higher sales of metalens products and equipment installation services.
 
Expenses across the board increased, with finance expenses for the full year clocking the highest increase of over 90 times to S$176,883 from S$1,844 previously. 
 
This was followed by selling and marketing expenses for FY2025 soaring to S$204,622 from S$49,186.
 
Administrative expenses for the full year also jumped to S$3.7 million from S$896,702 in FY2024. As a result, MetaOptics reported widenings losses for FY2025.
 
Looking ahead, the growth of MetaOptics is driven by increasing demand for compact optical components in augmented and virtual reality products, as well as 3D sensing and imaging applications.
 
This segment continues to have high barriers to entry, with competition focused on technology.
 
MetaOptics&rsquo performance in FY2026 might be impacted by the following factors, the pace of commercialisation, timing of customer equipment orders and broader semiconductor capital expenditure conditions.
DBS sees potential fair value of $1.80 for MetaOptics &lsquo path to breakeven becoming visible&rsquo
&ldquo From breakthrough to scalable growth,&rdquo writes DBS Group Research analyst Ling Lee Keng on the recently-listed MetaOptics. In her Feb 5 un-rated report, Ling has a potential fair value of $1.80 on the semiconductor optics company,
MetaOptics is a leading player in semiconductor-style, wafer-level manufacturing of ultra-thin, flat optical lenses called metalens, which enables the mass production of ultra-thin, high precision optical components.
&ldquo This differentiates it from traditional glass-lens makers and positions the company as an early leader capable of supplying high-volume consumer electronics and automotive applications,&rdquo writes Ling.
The company addresses a &ldquo critical industry bottleneck&rdquo with its ability to leverage semiconductor-style, wafer-level manufacturing, leading to the consistent, high-volume production of up to 30 million lenses per year, which positions the company for &ldquo mass-market&rdquo adoption.
Presently, as a sub-five-year start-up, MetaOptics remains loss-making.
It recorded $79,440 in sales in the FY2024 and net loss reached $2.34 million, widening from $1.23 million in losses recorded in the preceding FY2023. In the most recent 3MFY2025, it reported a revenue of $52,648 while reporting a net loss of $706,391.
Despite this, Ling sees with development agreements secured with leading consumer electronics players and active sampling of metalens modules underway, MetaOptics is &ldquo well positioned&rdquo to scale production and accelerate commercial adoption of its technology.
She adds: &ldquo Furthermore, collaborations with NVIDIA and Qualcomm also help to accelerate MetaOptics&rsquo integration into the mainstream product supply chain. We expect MetaOptics to reach breakeven in FY2027&ndash FY2028.&rdquo
MetaOptics listed on the Singapore Exchange on September 9, 2025, where it raised capital via a placement of 30 million shares at 20 cents each. Just two months after, the company completed a strategic share placement in November 2025, issuing 6.7 million new shares at 72.55 cents per share to raise $4.85 million.
The proceeds went towards strengthening the company&rsquo s capital base and working capital while supporting the scale-up of metalens production amid rising global demand.
On this, Ling writes: &ldquo The placement drew participation from both new and existing shareholders, underscoring growing investor confidence.&rdquo
The analyst notes that the global metalens market is at an &ldquo early but rapidly accelerating&rdquo stage, with a market size of US$30.2 million ($38.3 million) in 2024. This, Ling adds, is projected to reach US$287m by 2028, implying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 75.6%.
&ldquo Growth is underpinned by rising demand for miniaturised, high-performance optical systems across consumer electronics, IoT, automotive, and industrial sensing, where conventional multielement lenses are increasingly constrained by size and performance limitations,&rdquo writes Ling.
Another driver in metalens is the global camera modules market, where according to a study by global growth insights, was valued at about US$77.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to over US$420 billion by 2034, implying a robust an about 18.4 % CAGR, driven by demand in smartphones, automotive systems, augmented reality (AR)/ virtual reality (VR) devices, and internet of things (IoT) imaging applications.
&ldquo On the AR/VR front, research firm IDC forecasts AR/VR headset shipments could rise from an estimated 6.7 million units in 2024 to 22.9 million by 2028, driven by more affordable designs and artificial intelligence (AI) integration in smart glasses and headsets,&rdquo writes Ling.
Global smartphone camera module shipments meanwhile exceeded 2.5 billion units in 2024, driven by multi-lens configurations and higher imaging requirements in consumer phones.
Additionally, the smart glasses industry &ldquo alone&rdquo recorded 110 % y-o-y shipment growth in the first half of 2025, to which the analyst notes highlights an &ldquo accelerating interest&rdquo in wearable optics.
Beyond this, Ling sees that MetaOptics has secured development agreements with leading consumer electronics players and is actively sampling metalens modules, which signals &ldquo early industry validation&rdquo .
She writes: &ldquo Backed by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) as a minority equity investor, providing capital and access to research and production facilities, the company is well-positioned to scale production and accelerate commercial adoption of its metalens technology.&rdquo
With this, Ling believes MetaOptics has the &ldquo potential for multi-fold revenue growth&rdquo over the medium-to long term as development agreements with leading consumer electronics players convert into commercial production, likely from 2028 onwards.
Assuming a long-term revenue target of above $100 million, and applying an around two times price-to-sales ratio (P/S) multiple, in line with the average forward P/S of of around two times for the &ldquo closest comparable universe&rdquo within the smartphone and consumer electronics segment, Ling views her fair value of $1.80 as &ldquo reasonable&rdquo .
In the FY2025, she expects MetaOptics to post a surge in revenue to $715,000, primarily driven by robust equipment sales. Growth momentum she notes is projected to accelerate further in the FY2026, with revenue to double y-o-y.
&ldquo This reflects the company&rsquo s significant growth optionality and early leadership in scalable metalens manufacturing. We believe this valuation appropriately balances execution and profitability risks against the company&rsquo s strong growth outlook, improving revenue visibility, and long-term operating leverage as scale benefits begin to materialise,&rdquo surmises Ling.
One key risk noted by her is that MetaOptics is &ldquo highly contingent&rdquo on securing revenue-generating contracts from on-going engagements with potential customers.
As at 4.56 pm, shares in MetaOptics are trading three cents up at $1.13.

From last year 2025 CES, hopefully more new positive developments in current 2026 CES.
https://metaoptics.sg/news/spore-firms-showcase-cutting-edge-lenses-customisable-tvs-and-other-tech-at-ces-2025-in-las-vegas/
Last year, it was mentioned that  " the company has sewn up at least one memorandum of understanding at CES &ndash with a supply chain partner of a major South Korean smartphone maker."
Hope this lead to breakthrough revenue orders by this year. There are only 2 major Korean smartphone brands, Samsung and LG. If one of these brands incorporate metaoptics lens into their products, it will be a big validation of MetaOptics technology.

I believe such prototype display is very common to showcase the component feature. Its not off the shelf component that you can just plug and play. If customer is interested, they will commit an initial amount to design the component to fit their end product (size, features,  etc). Once they satisfied, then they will commit money for real production orders.
