**AeroVironment Announces Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Results**

**ARLINGTON, VA, December 9, 2025** — AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) ("AeroVironment" or the "Company") reported today financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended November 1, 2025.

Second Quarter Highlights:

● Record second quarter revenue of $472.5 million up, 151% year-over-year; with BlueHalo contributing $245.1 million and legacy revenue of $227.4 million up 21% year-over year

● Bookings of $1.4 billion; Book-to-bill ratio of 2.9

"AV is operating from a position of strength as evidenced by our record second quarter results, all-time high bookings and long-term contract wins," said Wahid Nawabi, AeroVironment chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We have built a portfolio of integrated capabilities and advanced technologies to meet the market's accelerating demand and serve as a partner of choice in critical moments. While we are pleased with our results for the quarter, we are just getting started. We are confident that our unmatched innovation, strategic partnerships and agility to expand our manufacturing capacity enable us to address evolving defense needs and lead the generational shift in defense over the longer-term."

**FISCAL 2026 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS**

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $472.5 million, an increase of 151% as compared to $188.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, due to higher product sales of $173.8 million and higher service revenue of $110.2 million. The acquisition of BlueHalo on May 1, 2025 contributed to $134.4 million and $110.7 million of the current quarter product and service revenue, respectively. From a segment standpoint, Autonomous Systems ("AxS") recorded revenue of $301.6 million and Space, Cyber and Directed Energy ("SCDE") recorded revenue of $170.9 million.

Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $104.1 million, an increase of 41% as compared to $73.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, reflecting higher product margin of $19.5 million and higher service margin of $11.0 million. Fiscal 2026 second quarter gross margin was negatively impacted by $24.2 million of intangible amortization expense and other related non-cash purchase accounting expenses, as compared to $3.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin fell to 22% from 39%, primarily due to an increase in the proportion of service revenue resulting from the BlueHalo acquisition and the increased amortization and other non-cash purchase accounting expenses.

Loss from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $(30.2) million as compared to income from operations of $7.0 million for the second quarter of last fiscal year. The current quarter was negatively impacted by $48.2 million of intangible amortization and other related non-cash purchase accounting expenses as compared to $4.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease year-over-year was primarily due to an increase in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense of $60.4 million, which includes an increase of $24.0 million of intangible amortization expense, incremental headcount resulting from our acquisition of BlueHalo which closed on May 1, 2025, and an increase of $4.6 million of acquisition related expenses; an increase in research and development ("R&D") expense of $7.3 million; partially offset by an increase in gross margin of $30.5 million.

Other income, net for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $9.6 million, as compared to other loss, net of $(0.7) million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase year-over-year was primarily due to an increase in interest income due to a combination of higher cash and investment balances, lower intertest bearing debt balances and an increase in unrealized gains on equity security investments.

------

Benefit from income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $(2.3) million, as compared to $(0.2) million for the second quarter of last fiscal year. The increase year-over-year was primarily due to the loss before income taxes.

Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $(17.1) million, or $(0.34) per diluted share, as compared to net income of $7.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the prior-year period, respectively. The current quarter was negatively impacted by $48.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, of intangible amortization and other related non-cash purchase accounting expenses as compared to $4.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $45.0 million and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.44, as compared to $25.9 million and $0.47, respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

**BACKLOG**

As of November 1, 2025, funded backlog (defined as remaining performance obligations under firm orders for which funding is currently appropriated to us under a customer contract) was $1.1 billion, as compared to $726.6 million as of April 30, 2025.

**FISCAL 2026 — OUTLOOK FOR THE FULL YEAR**

For fiscal year 2026, the Company now expects revenue of between $1.95 billion and $2.0 billion, net loss of between $(38) million and $(30) million, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of between $300 million and $320 million, loss per diluted share of between $(0.76) and $(0.61) and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which excludes amortization of intangible assets, other non-cash purchase accounting expenses, equity securities investments gains or losses, and equity method income or loss of between $3.40 and $3.55.

The foregoing estimates are forward-looking and reflect management's view of current and future market conditions, subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including certain assumptions with respect to our ability to efficiently and on a timely basis integrate acquisitions, obtain and retain government contracts, changes in the timing and/or amount of government spending, react to changes in the demand for our products and services, activities of competitors, changes in the regulatory environment, and general economic and business conditions in the United States and elsewhere in the world. Investors are reminded that actual results may differ materially from these estimates and investors should review all risks related to achievement of the guidance reflected under "forward-looking statements" below and in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

**Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures**

The non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing our results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures, help our investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of our business and compare our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate our operating and financial performance.

**Non-GAAP Earnings per Diluted Share**

We exclude acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, equity method investment gains and losses, equity securities investments gains or losses, goodwill impairment and one-time non-operating items because we believe this facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time between our newly acquired and existing businesses, and with our peer companies. We believe, however, that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and that intangible asset amortization will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized.

**Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)**

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other non-cash items, including amortization of implementation of cloud computing arrangements, stock-based compensation, acquisition related expenses, equity method investment gains or losses, equity securities investments gains or losses, goodwill impairment and one-time non-operating gains or losses. We present Adjusted EBITDA, which is not a recognized financial measure under U.S. GAAP, because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We believe this facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time between our newly acquired and existing businesses, and with our peer companies. We believe, however, that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation, intangible asset amortization will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized and that interest and income tax expenses will recur in future periods. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries.

AVAV Contracting Related Definitions APPENDIX F - FININACIAL TABLES Term Definition Q2 FY26 Results Award The total potential value of a contract at time of announcement, including all base period value, priced options, expected follow-on periods, and any anticipated modifications if they are contractually priced. Award represents the maximum economic opportunity associated with the contract but does not imply full near-term funding or customer obligation. $3.5B Bookings The value of new authorized/exercised contract awards and contract modifications received during the reporting period. Bookings typically include the total contract value for new awards and the incremental value of modifications. Bookings include authorized contract values where the customer has provided contractual authority to perform work, even if funding has not yet been obligated, but does not include the unauthorized portion of TCV. $1.4B (QTD) $1.7B (YTD) Funded Backlog The portion of backlog for which the customer has provided appropriated, obligated funding that the company is currently authorized to spend. Funded backlog is the most "cash-certain" portion of backlog, representing work the company can execute immediately and bill against. This is often driven by U.S. DoD funding obligations and contract increments. $1.1B Unfunded Backlog The remaining value of awarded contracts for which the customer has not yet obligated funding. These amounts reflect future expected funding—commonly tied to multi-year programs where annual appropriations, options, or increments are still pending. Unfunded backlog is typical in large defense programs and is converted to funded backlog as appropriations and task orders are executed. $2.8B Book-to-Bill Ratio The book-to-bill ratio measures the relationship between the value of new orders booked in a given period (Fiscal YTD) and the revenue billed or recognized over that same period. Book-to-bill ratio is calculated by dividing period bookings by period revenues. 1.84 (YTD) |
