The headline driver was an explosive surge in government demand: remaining performance obligations skyrocketed 361% year-over-year to $672.47 million, reflecting a string of defense and intelligence contract wins with the NGA, NRO, NASA, and the U.S. Navy. Adjusted EBITDA swung to a $5.62 million profit, marking a fourth consecutive quarter in the black on that metric, even as a $43.47 million non-cash warrant revaluation widened the GAAP net loss to $59.19 million. With analyst sentiment broadly bullish and shares commanding significant attention, management guided full-year FY2026 revenue of $297 million to $301 million with adjusted EBITDA profit of $6 million to $8 million.
Key Takeaways
- • 33% year-over-year revenue growth to record $81.3 million
- • 97% recurring annual contract value
