Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Surge: Revenue increased 605% to $50.7 million, driven primarily by the OAS segment which grew 846% to $49.8 million. This growth was largely attributable to acquisitions completed in 2025 (including Sentrycs, Robo-Team, and Apeiro Motion) and increased sales of the Optimus System and Iron Drone Raider.
• Margin Expansion: Gross margin improved significantly from 5% to 40%, reflecting a favorable revenue mix with higher product sales offsetting fixed service delivery costs.
• Net Loss Increase: Net loss widened to $133.4 million from $38.0 million. The primary driver was a non-cash loss of $82.2 million related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities. Operating expenses also increased due to stock-based compensation ($16.0 million), acquisition-related costs, and headcount expansion.
• Liquidity Transformation: Cash and cash equivalents increased from $30.0 million to $594.4 million. This was fueled by $829.5 million in net proceeds from equity offerings in 2025 and a subsequent $1 billion gross proceeds offering in January 2026.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Outlook and Strategy: Management expects to fund operations for the next 12 months using current cash, proceeds from the January 2026 financing, and gross profits. The strategy focuses on scaling the "Systems-of-Systems" approach in OAS to deliver integrated defense solutions and expanding the FullMAX platform in the North American rail market. The company is actively pursuing further M&A to accelerate growth.

Key Risks:

• Profitability: The company has incurred significant operating losses since inception and cannot assure future profitability.
• Customer Concentration: Two customers accounted for 66% of 2025 revenue (55% and 11%). One customer represented 73% of accounts receivable.
• Regulatory & Geopolitical: Operations depend on FAA and FCC approvals. The company faces risks related to the ongoing war in Israel, where significant operations are located, and potential trade policy changes/tariffs.
• Warrant Liability Volatility: Significant non-cash charges related to warrant liabilities can materially impact reported net loss.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Warrant Liability Valuation: Verify the assumptions (volatility, term) used to value the $489.4 million warrant liability, as changes here drive significant non-cash losses.
• Acquisition Integration: Assess the integration progress of 2025 acquisitions (Sentrycs, Robo-Team, etc.), which contributed 53% of total revenue but are excluded from the internal control assessment.
• Customer Concentration: Monitor the stability of the top two customers who generated 66% of revenue and the collectability of the 73% accounts receivable concentration.
• Cash Burn vs. Revenue: Evaluate the path to profitability given the $38.7 million cash used in operating activities despite the revenue surge.
• Subsequent Events: Review the impact of the January 2026 $1 billion financing and the announced acquisitions of Rotron, Mistral, Bird, Indo, and World View on future capital structure and dilution.
