CEO Sean Macdonald commented, "2025 was a remarkable year for us, fueled by strong international demand for our innovative products, improved stocking dynamics and ordering patterns, and a surge in consumer direct sales. The growing global demand for our products and an expanding Leatt(R) brand that reaches a much wider group of riders around the world are fueling tremendous traction and momentum.
"We achieved double-digit revenue growth for the fifth consecutive quarter, and year-over-year growth for the sixth consecutive quarter following the post-covid industry-wide inventory overhang. Total global revenues for the year were $61.91 million, a 41% increase over the full year 2024. International revenues were $44.64 million for the full 2025 year, up 47%, year over year, as our distributors continue to re-order and re-stock. Customer direct sales, an important focus area for us, increased by 44%, year over year, and dealer direct sales with our re-organized and re-energized domestic sales force increased by 22%.
"For the fourth quarter of 2025, revenues increased by 43%, year over year, and gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 46%, as domestic sales continued to grow and we continued to ship our new products. Net income for the quarter was $464,808, an increase of 204% over the fourth quarter of 2024.
"We closed the year with double-digit revenue growth in all of our major product categories in 2025, a testament to the expertise of our creative design and engineering team and continued strong brand momentum. Helmet sales grew by 59%, year over year, sales of our flagship neck brace increased by 18%, body armor revenues increased by 29%, including a 40% increase in footwear sales, and sales of our other products, parts and accessories category increased by 56%.
"Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the year increased to 44%, year over year, as domestic trading conditions continue to improve and our supply chain team achieved logistical efficiencies, despite some uncertainty around global trade tariffs.
"For the full year 2025, income before tax was $4.41 million, an increase of $7.11 million, compared to the full year 2024. Net income for the full year 2025 increased by 248% to $3.26 million, which we believe is a testament to our ability to generate strong revenues and robust margins."

Founder and Chairman Dr. Christopher Leatt remarked, "We are very proud of our design, engineering and innovation expertise that focused on rider safety and performance. These innovations are increasingly being recognized by riders at all levels all around the world as well as our peers. Our team was once again honored at Eurobike 2025 -- where our 5.0 Gravity Helmet won the Eurobike Gold Award for Technical Highlight, and our 6.0 HydraDri(R) Jacket won the Eurobike Award for Performance Clothing."
Business Outlook
Mr. Macdonald added: "The momentum we are achieving at all levels of our business has our entire team energized and optimistic about the future of the Company. Although there are some potentially challenging geo-political headwinds globally, domestic sales at the dealer level are gaining very promising traction, participation remains strong and international ordering patterns remain robust.
"Our Adventure motorcycle line-up of apparel, helmet and boot sales, backed by positive industry reviews and our proven ability to develop exciting and durable products, continues to exceed our expectations and contribute strongly to our revenue. We look forward to delivering a pipeline of new innovative products to the growing ADV market over the next several quarters.
"Total operating costs increased by 12% last year, and we do expect working capital investments to grow in the coming periods, reflecting our strong drive to building a global, multi-channel team of sales and marketing professionals in emerging and developed markets. The team is building and leveraging revenue opportunities by enabling our brand to reach a much wider group of riders of all levels around the world. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to fuel this growth.
"Again, we are very enthusiastic about our future. With a growing portfolio of innovative products in the market and in the pipeline, a focus on elevating and amplifying our brand, and a robust balance sheet to fuel the growth, we remain confident that we are well-positioned for future growth and increasing shareholder value."
