We have incurred significant net losses since inception including net losses of $4.1 million and $37.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and $38.7 million and $32.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Previous wording

Although we raised approximately $69 million in gross proceeds from our initial public offering, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option, we expect to continue incurring net losses as we invest in scaling and expanding our operations. Developing and commercializing products and services in the defense and broader aerospace industry is capital intensive and subject to long development timelines. We have allocated significant resources to our R&D programs, and we may not ultimately generate products that achieve market acceptance or meaningful revenue.

Current wording

Although we raised approximately $121.7 million in net proceeds from our IPO and the Follow-on Offering, including the full exercise of the over-allotment options in both the IPO and the Follow-on Offering, net of cash used in connection with the Repurchase, we expect to continue incurring net losses as we invest in scaling and expanding our operations.

Previous wording

We have incurred significant indebtedness, including in connection with the Put-Together Transaction, and may incur additional debt for acquisitions, operations, R&D and capital expenditures, or for other reasons related to our overall capital deployment strategy. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had outstanding indebtedness of $29.0 million and $105.7 million, respectively. The agreements governing our indebtedness contain restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens and pay any dividends or make distributions, as well as financial maintenance covenants, including debt service coverage ratios, that will limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to engage in activities that may be in our and their long-term best interests. Any additional debt, to the extent we are able to incur it, may further restrict the manner in which we conduct business. Such restrictions, prohibitions and limitations could impact our ability to implement elements of our strategy, including in the following ways:

Given that the BCA Transactions were not consummated, in conjunction with the IPO, we issued approximately 2.0 million shares and used IPO proceeds of $3.3 million to partially satisfy the Fixed Conversion Obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We will continue to fund the remaining $8.5 million to satisfy the Fixed Conversion Obligations during 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we have third party obligations of $3.0 million of Investor Notes as described within Note 2—Revolving Lines of Credit and Long-Term Debt, $3.8 million of Investor Notes as described in Note 12—Related Party Transactions, and $3.8 million of Investor Notes at fair value as described in Note 2—Revolving Lines of Credit and Long-Term Debt, collectively which total $10.6 million. The Investor Notes are in the form of unsecured promissory notes with no collateral and no guarantees. See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Business Combinations” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Investor Notes” for additional information regarding the promissory notes. If we are unable to satisfy our existing obligations, our business and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Previous wording

The U.S. Congress may fund U.S. government departments and agencies with one or more continuing resolutions, which could delay new programs or competitions and/or negatively impact the execution of certain program activities. A lapse in appropriations for government departments or agencies would result in a full or partial government shutdown, which could impact our operations. In the event of a prolonged shutdown, requirements to furlough employees in the U.S. DoD, the Department of Transportation, including the FAA, or other government agencies could result in an impact to our operations, negatively impact future contracts, and/or cause other disruptions or delays. There is uncertainty regarding which government functions would shut down or continue operations during a lapse in appropriations, and corresponding uncertainty regarding the extent or magnitude of potential impacts to our operations. In March 2025, President Trump signed a continuing resolution that funds federal agencies through September 30, 2025. A continuing resolution authorizes federal agencies to operate generally at the same funding levels from the prior year, but typically does not authorize new spending initiatives during this period. If Congress is unable to enact formal fiscal year 2026 appropriation bills by September 30, 2025, it may pass another continuing resolution. However, if Congress fails to pass the formal appropriations bills or a continuing resolution, then the U.S. government would shut down during which federal agencies would cease all non-essential functions.

In addition to our U.S. operations, we also have international operations in Canada and Denmark, sell our products and services to international dealers and customers, including foreign governments and engage in sales and marketing efforts in many foreign jurisdictions. In international sales, we face substantial competition from both U.S. manufacturers and international manufacturers whose governments sometimes provide R&D assistance, marketing subsidies and other assistance for their products and services. International sales present risks that are different and potentially greater than those encountered in our U.S. business. In 2024, a majority of our total net sales were from international customers. International sales are subject to numerous political and economic factors, including changes in foreign national priorities, foreign government budgets, global economic conditions, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the possibility of trade sanctions and other government actions, regulatory requirements, significant competition, taxation, and other risks associated with doing business outside the United States. Sales of military products and services and any associated industrial development (offset) agreements are subject to U.S. export regulations and foreign policy, and there could be significant delays or other issues in reaching definitive agreements for announced programs. See “—We cannot predict the consequences of future macroeconomic conditions or geopolitical events, but they may adversely affect market and economic conditions, the markets in which we operate, our ability to insure against risks, our operations or our profitability.”

In the United States, federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous data privacy and security laws, including data breach notification laws, personal data privacy laws, consumer protection laws (e.g., Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act), and other similar laws (e.g., wiretapping laws). In the past few years, numerous U.S. states—including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah—have enacted comprehensive privacy laws that impose certain obligations on covered businesses, including providing specific disclosures in privacy notices and affording residents with certain rights concerning their personal data. As applicable, such rights may include the right to access, correct, or delete certain personal data, and to opt-out of certain data processing activities, such as targeted advertising, profiling, and automated decision-making. The exercise of these rights may impact our business and ability to provide our products and services. Certain states also impose stricter requirements for processing certain personal data, including sensitive information, such as conducting data privacy impact assessments. These state laws allow for statutory fines for noncompliance. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) applies to personal data of consumers, business representatives, and employees who are California residents, and requires businesses to provide specific disclosures in privacy notices and honor requests of such individuals to exercise certain privacy rights. The CCPA provides for fines of up to $7,500 per intentional violation and allows private litigants affected by certain data breaches to recover significant statutory damages. Similar laws are being considered in several other states, as well as at the federal and local levels, and we expect more states to pass similar laws in the future.
