Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 90% year-over-year (Q2) and 74% year-over-year (YTD), driven primarily by the inclusion of Edge Autonomy revenues ($49.1M in Q2; $85.6M YTD) and improved contract mix.
• Margin Improvement: Gross margin improved significantly from negative margins in the prior year (Q2 2025: -31%; YTD 2025: -8%) to positive margins (Q2 2026: 28%; YTD 2026: 27%). This was aided by a reduction in net unfavorable Estimate at Completion (EAC) adjustments.
• Expense Reductions: Transaction expenses dropped from $16.6M (Q2 2025) to $11k (Q2 2026) as acquisition-related costs were incurred in the prior year. Interest expense decreased significantly due to the repayment of the high-interest Seller Note and refinancing of debt facilities.
• Equity Activity: The company raised significant capital through At-The-Market (ATM) facilities, selling shares for approximately $566 million in gross proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2026. All outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was converted to common stock during the period.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Guidance & Outlook: Management does not provide specific forward-looking financial guidance in this filing but highlights a book-to-bill ratio of 1.42 for Q2 2026, indicating future revenue growth potential. Backlog increased to $542.1 million.
• Unusual Items:
  • Warrant Liability: A non-cash loss of $14.8 million (YTD) was recognized due to the change in fair value of private warrants.
  • Equity-Based Compensation: Significant expense ($42.5M YTD) related to the accelerated vesting of Edge Incentive Units.
  • Debt Extinguishment: Losses of $3.7 million (YTD) recognized on debt refinancing and prepayments.

  • Internal Controls: The company identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026, specifically regarding IT general controls and process-level controls in U.S. and European operations. Remediation is ongoing.
  • Government Dependence: Significant reliance on U.S. government contracts, which are subject to budget fluctuations and potential shutdowns.
  • Geopolitical: Exposure to conflicts in Ukraine and Iran, which may impact defense spending and sales.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Remediation of Material Weaknesses: Verify the timeline and progress of fixing internal control deficiencies, particularly regarding IT systems and financial reporting processes.
• Debt Covenant Compliance: Confirm continued compliance with the JPMorgan A&R Credit Agreement covenants following the recent refinancing and prepayments.
• Backlog Conversion: Monitor the conversion of the $542.1 million backlog into revenue, noting that a portion is subject to foreign exchange fluctuations and potential contract terminations.
• Non-GAAP Reconciliations: Review the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss, specifically the treatment of warrant liability changes and equity-based compensation, to understand core operational performance.
• ATM Facility Usage: Track the remaining capacity and utilization of the June 2026 ATM facility ($350.4 million unused as of June 30) to assess future dilution risks.
