Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note A – Description of the Business

Redwire Corporation (the “Company” or “Redwire”) is an integrated space and defense technology company focused on advanced technologies including aerospace infrastructure, autonomous systems and multi-domain operations, leveraging digital engineering and artificial intelligence automation. The Company develops and provides mission critical solutions based on space and defense technology platform offerings for government, commercial and civil customers through both short- and long-duration projects. These include technologies and production capability for next-generation spacecraft, large space infrastructure, microgravity capabilities, combat-proven autonomous systems, optical sensors and radio frequency payloads that provide intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities for U.S. and allied nations across multiple domains. The Company serves both U.S. and international customers. As described in Note U – Segment Reporting, we operate intwo business segments: Space and Defense Tech.

Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of subsidiaries we control and variable interest entities if we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Management has prepared these estimates using the most current and best available information that is considered reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant accounting policies subject to estimates include, but are not limited to, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, revenue recognition, income taxes, certain equity-based compensation awards, post-retirement benefit plans, paid-in-kind dividends, and warrant liabilities.

Business Combinations

The Company utilizes the acquisition method of accounting for all transactions and events in which it obtains control over one or more other businesses (even if less than 100% ownership is acquired), to recognize the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and to establish the acquisition date fair value as of the measurement date.

While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the business combination date, the estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the business combination date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. For changes in the valuation of intangible assets between the preliminary and final purchase price allocation, the related amortization is adjusted in the period it occurs. Subsequent to the measurement period, any adjustment to assets acquired or liabilities assumed is included in operating results in the period in which the adjustment is identified. Transaction costs that are incurred in connection with a business combination, other than costs associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, are expensed as incurred.

Contingent consideration is classified as a liability or as equity on the basis of the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument; contingent consideration payable in cash is classified as a liability. The Company recognizes the fair value of any contingent consideration that is transferred to the seller in a business combination on the date at which control of the acquiree is obtained. Contingent consideration payments related to acquisitions are measured at fair value each reporting period using Level 3 unobservable inputs (as defined in the Fair Value of Financial Instruments policy below). When reported, any changes in the fair value of these contingent consideration payments are included in contingent earnout expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Please refer to Note C – Business Combinations for additional information related to the Company’s business combinations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to, contingent consideration, at fair value. A hierarchy of valuation techniques is based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:

Level 1:Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2:Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3:Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”), which is the functional currency of the Company. The local currency of the Company’s foreign operations is considered to be the functional currency of those operations, which is primarily the Euro. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, where the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into USD at exchange rates effective as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates in effect for the periods presented.

Foreign currency translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in other (income) expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cash balances with banks and similar institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash includes cash balances which are restricted as to withdrawal or usage by contractual agreement and consists of cash-collateralized standby letters of credit for performance guarantees and submitted proposals.

The Company had $0.7 million and $15.4 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to standby letters of credit for performance guarantees and submitted proposals which are legally restricted for withdrawal and use. Amounts may be subject to final price adjustments upon delivery and acceptance of the related performance obligations by the customer. As of December 31, 2024, restricted cash included $7.8 million of proceeds received from third-parties that were refundable except in certain limited circumstances and were also reported as other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the $7.8 million of restricted cash was refunded and the associated liability was relieved.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows as of the following periods:

Income taxes paid for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023 wasnominal and for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $0.2 million.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable and contract assets. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high-credit quality. At times, such amounts may exceed federally insured limits. Cash and cash equivalents on deposit or invested with financial and lending institutions was $94.5 million and $33.7 million, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company provides credit to customers in the normal course of business. The carrying amount of current accounts receivable and contract assets are stated at cost, net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for the estimated amount of accounts receivable that will not be fully collected. The allowance is based on the assessment of the following factors: customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, age of outstanding accounts receivable and any applicable collateral. Substantially all accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 are expected to be collected in 2026. The Company does not believe there is a significant exposure to credit risk as the majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from U.S. and foreign governments or large prime contractors of such government entities. As a result, the allowance for credit losses wasnot material as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is calculated on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Inventory may consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expense. Inventory is impaired when it is probable that inventory values exceed their net realizable value. Changes in these estimates are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are the long-lived, physical assets of the Company, acquired for use in the Company’s normal business operations and not intended for resale by the Company. These assets are recorded at cost. Renewals and betterments that increase the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. The Company occasionally designs and builds its own machinery. The cost of these projects, including direct material and labor, and other indirect costs directly attributable to the construction, are capitalized as construction in progress. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until the related assets are completed and placed in service.

Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses or cost of sales based upon the asset; depreciation and amortization expense includes the amortization of assets under finance leases.

Expected useful lives for property, plant and equipment are reviewed at least annually. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Estimated useful life in years
Computer equipment3
Furniture and fixtures7
Laboratory equipment3-15
Vehicles5-7
Leasehold improvementsshorter of 5 or lease term
Assets subject to finance leaselease term

As assets are retired or sold, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in other (income) expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The Company regularly evaluates its property, plant and equipment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If the Company determines that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable based upon the undiscounted expected future cash flows of the asset or asset group, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying amount over the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group.

During 2025, the Company identified triggering events and performed impairment assessments on its long-lived asset groups. Please refer to Note F – Property, Plant and Equipment, net for additional information. During 2024 and 2023, the Company identified no triggering events and therefore, no quantitative impairment assessment was performed on its long-lived assets.

Leases

The Company is obligated under certain operating and finance leases for its facilities, vehicles and office equipment. The Company assesses whether an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception of the arrangement. For arrangements considered leases, the Company assesses the lease for finance or operating classification and records a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability as of the commencement date. The Company uses the date of initial possession as the lease commencement date, which is generally when the underlying asset becomes available for the Company’s specific use. The Company’s operating leases are included in right-of-use assets, short-term operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s finance leases consist primarily of vehicles and are included in property, plant and equipment, net, short-term finance lease liabilities and long-term finance lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the present value of the Company’s obligations to make payments arising over the lease term. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate as of the lease commencement date, which reflects the fixed rate the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the future minimum lease payments over a similar term. Operating lease expense includes the sum of imputed interest expense and the amortization of ROU assets. For finance leases, interest is recognized and presented separately in interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The lease term includes renewal options which are reasonably certain to be exercised.

Lease and non-lease related components, such as common area maintenance costs, obligations to return the underlying asset to its original condition, or costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset at the end of the term, are accounted for separately. Certain leasing arrangements contain predetermined fixed escalation of minimum rents and/or require variable payments, such as insurance and tax payments. Variable lease payments which depend on an index or other rate are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date and included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. The subsequent change in lease payments as a result of a change in the index or other rate are recognized as expense in the period in which the payment occurs.

The Company does not have any material restrictions or covenants in its lease agreements, sale leaseback transactions or residual value guarantees. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

During 2025, the Company abandoned a leased property and recorded a nominal amount of impairment expense related to the respective ROU asset. During 2024 and 2023, the Company identified no triggering events and therefore, no quantitative impairment assessment was performed on its right-of-use assets.

Intangible Assets, including Goodwill

The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

Intangible assets include those acquired from the Company’s various business combinations as well as licensed software for internal-use. Licensed software is acquired solely to meet the Company’s internal needs which provides the right to take possession of the software and is hosted on the Company’s specific hardware components, as well as the capitalization of qualifying costs during the application development stage. Indefinite-lived intangible assets include tradenames and in-process research and development (“IPR&D”). Finite-lived intangible assets include customer relationships, technology, trademarks, and internal-use software. Finite-lived intangible assets are reported at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and are either amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives or over the period the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed. IPR&D is recognized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the related project, then reclassified as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized over the remaining useful life.

Acquired intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment testing or more frequently if events or a change in circumstance indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. This testing compares carrying value to fair value and, when appropriate, the carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair value. The Company performs an impairment test of finite-lived intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying value may be impaired, consistent with the methodologies previously disclosed for Property, plant and equipment.

Goodwill is the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination on the date of acquisition. The Company’s goodwill has been allocated to and is tested for impairment at a level referred to as the reporting unit. As of its annual assessment date, the Company hadsix reporting units, Mission Solutions, Space Components, Engineering Services, Space Europe, Airborne U.S and Airborne Europe, which were determined based on similar economic characteristics, financial metrics and product and servicing offerings. Effective December 2025, in connection with the change in operating segments, the Company reassessed its reporting units and identifiedsix reporting units, Space Mission Solutions, Space US, Space Europe, Space Defense Tech, North America Defense Tech, and Europe Defense Tech. As a result, the Company allocated the goodwill balance to each reporting unit and respective reportable operating segments during December 2025. Space Mission Solutions, Space U.S. and Space Europe are within the Space segment and Space Defense Tech, North America Defense Tech, and Europe Defense Tech are within the Defense Tech segment.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of October 1 st or when events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The Company first assesses goodwill for impairment on a qualitative basis to determine if a quantitative assessment is necessary. In circumstances where the qualitative analysis (Step 0) indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit does not exceed its carrying value, the Company would perform a quantitative analysis (Step 1) and the goodwill impairment loss, if any, is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. In general, the Company performs a quantitative test for most reporting units at least once every three years, or more frequently if deemed necessary by Management. During 2025, the Company performed a quantitative test for all of its reporting units and concluded that the fair value for the Space Europe reporting unit was below its carrying value. Therefore, the Company recognized $20.9 million of goodwill impairment during 2025. Please refer to Note H – Goodwill for further information.

The Company estimates the fair value of each reporting unit using a combination of a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis and market-based valuation methodologies such as comparable public company trading values and values observed in recent business acquisitions. Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgments, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, long-term growth rates, discount rates and relevant comparable public company earnings multiples and transaction multiples. The cash flows employed in the DCF analysis are based on the Company best estimate of future revenues, gross margins, operating expenses, and cash flows with consideration for other factors, such as general market conditions, U.S. and foreign government budgets, existing contracted and uncontracted backlog, subcontractor agreements, changes in working capital, long-term business plans and historical operating performance. The discount rates utilized in the DCF analysis are based on the respective reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital, which takes into account the relative weights of debt and equity components within the Company’s existing capital structure and represents the expected cost of new capital, adjusted as appropriate to consider the risk inherent in future cash flows of the respective reporting unit. The carrying value of each reporting unit includes the assets and liabilities employed in its operations, goodwill and allocations of certain assets and liabilities held at the corporate level. The Company compares the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

During 2024 and 2023, the Company performed its annual impairment tests and concluded there were no indicators that the fair value of any reporting unit was more likely than not below carrying value. Therefore, no quantitative assessment was performed and no goodwill impairment was recognized during 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants and other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as assets, liabilities, or equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. For equity-linked financial instruments, the Company must determine whether the underlying instrument is indexed to its own common stock in order to classify the derivative instrument as equity. Otherwise, the derivative asset or liability, including embedded derivatives discussed below, is recognized at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Classification of the Company’s private warrants is based on management’s analysis of the guidance described above and a statement issued by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies.” The Company determined that the private warrants meet the definition of a derivative and, therefore, are classified as a liability measured at fair value, subject to remeasurement at each reporting period. The Company measures the private warrant liability at fair value each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded as other (income) expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Hybrid instruments

Hybrid instruments issued in the form of a share requires bifurcation of embedded features if (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. The nature of the host instrument is therefore evaluated to determine if it is more akin to a debt-like or equity-like host. In this assessment, the Company considers the stated and implied substantive features of the contract as well as the economic characteristics and risks of the hybrid instrument. Each term and feature is then weighed based on the relevant facts and circumstances to determine the nature of the host contract. Terms and features of the hybrid instrument (i.e. embedded derivatives) are then assessed to determine if they must be bifurcated and separately accounted for as freestanding derivatives. Examples of embedded derivatives include, among others, conversion options, redemption features, make-whole provisions, contingent increases in dividend rates and participation rights.

Convertible Preferred Stock

Accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in the Company’s own equity requires an evaluation of the hybrid security to determine if liability classification is required. Liability classification is required for freestanding financial instruments that are not debt in legal form and are: (1) subject to an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem the instrument by transferring assets (i.e. mandatorily redeemable), (2) instruments other than equity shares that embody an obligation of the issuer to repurchase its equity shares, or (3) certain types of instruments that obligate the issuer to issue a variable number of equity shares. Securities classified in temporary equity are initially measured at the proceeds received, net of issuance costs and excluding the fair value of bifurcated embedded derivatives (if any). Subsequent measurement of the carrying value is not required until such time that the contingencies are resolved and reclassification as a liability is required.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s contracts are subject to revenue recognition using a five-step model, which involves (i) identification of the contract, (ii) identification of performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determination of the transaction price, (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the previously identified performance obligations, and (v) revenue recognition as the performance obligations are satisfied.

During step one of the five-step model, the Company considers whether contracts should be combined or separated, and based on this assessment, the Company combines closely related contracts when all the applicable criteria are met. The combination of two or more contracts requires judgment in determining whether the intent of entering into the contracts was effectively to enter into a single contract, which should be combined to reflect an overall profit rate. Similarly, the Company may separate an arrangement, which may consist of a single contract or group of contracts, with varying rates of profitability, only if the applicable criteria are met. Judgment is involved in determining whether a group of contracts may be combined or separated based on how the arrangement and the related performance criteria were negotiated. The conclusion to combine a group of contracts or separate a contract could change the amount of revenue and gross profit recorded in a given period.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts with customers generally do not include a right of return relative to delivered products. In certain cases, contracts are modified to account for changes in the contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are accounted for as part of the existing contract. Certain contracts with customers have options for the customer to acquire additional goods or services. In most cases, the pricing of these options are reflective of the standalone selling price of the good or service. These options do not provide the customer with a material right and are accounted for only when the customer exercises the option to purchase the additional goods or services. If the option on the customer contract was not indicative of the standalone selling price of the good or service, the material right would be accounted for as a separate performance obligation.

The Company’s revenues are derived from the design and sales of components for spacecraft and satellites and the performance of engineering, modeling and simulation services related to spacecraft design and mission execution within the Space segment and combat-proven autonomous systems, optical sensors and radio frequency payloads that provide intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities within the Defense Tech segment. Each promised good or service within a contract is accounted for separately, if they are distinct. Promised goods or services not meeting the criteria for being a distinct performance obligation are bundled into a single performance obligation with other goods or services that together meet the criteria for being distinct. The appropriate allocation of the transaction price and recognition of revenue is then applied for the bundled performance obligation. The Company has concluded that its service contracts generally contain a single performance obligation given the interrelated nature of the activities which are significantly customized and not distinct within the context of the contract for substantially all of its contracts in the Space segment and a portion of its contracts in the Defense Tech segment.

Once the Company identifies the performance obligations, it determines the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. The Company’s contracts generally do not contain penalties, credits, price concessions, or other types of potential variable consideration. Prices are fixed at contract inception and are not contingent on performance or any other criteria.

The Company engages in long-term contracts for production and service activities and recognizes revenue for performance obligations over time primarily in its Space segment. The Company considers the nature of these contracts and the types of products and services provided when determining the proper accounting for a particular contract. These contracts include both firm-fixed-price (“FFP”) and cost reimbursable contracts. The Company’s cost reimbursable contracts typically include cost-plus fixed fee (“CPFF”) and time-and-material (“T&M”) contracts. These long-term contracts involve the design, development, manufacture, or modification of components for spacecraft and satellites. For FFP and CPFF contracts, revenue is recognized over time (versus point in time recognition), as the Company’s performance creates an asset with no alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, and the customer receives the benefit as the Company builds the asset. For T&M contracts and substantially all of its FFP and CPFF contracts in the Defense Tech segment, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount for which the Company has a right to invoice the customer based on the control transferred to the customer or point-in-time.

For long-term contracts in which revenue is recognized over time, the Company uses the input method, using a cost-to-cost measure of progress. The Company believes that this method represents the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance because it directly measures value transferred to the customer. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that may span several years. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the amount of time to complete the contract, including the assessment of the nature and complexity of the work to be performed; the cost and availability of materials; the availability of subcontractor services and materials; and the availability and timing of funding from the customer. The Company bears the risk of changes in estimates to complete on a fixed-price contract, which may cause profit levels to vary from period to period. For cost reimbursable contracts, the Company is reimbursed periodically for allowable costs and is paid a portion of the fee based on contract progress. In the limited instances where the Company enters into T&M contracts, revenue recognized reflects the number of direct labor hours expended in the performance of a contract multiplied by the contract billing rate, as well as reimbursement of other direct billable costs. For long-term contracts, the Company recognizes anticipated contract losses as soon as they become known and estimable.

Accounting for long-term contracts requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract revenues and costs, in particular, assumptions relative to the amount of time to complete the contract, including the assessment of the nature and complexity of the work to be performed. The Company’s estimates are based upon the professional knowledge and experience of its engineers, program managers and other personnel, who review each long-term contract monthly to assess the contract’s schedule, performance, technical matters and estimated cost at completion. Changes in estimates are applied retrospectively and when adjustments in estimated contract costs are identified, such revisions may result in current period adjustments to earnings applicable to performance in prior periods.

For long-term contracts, the portion of the payments retained by the customer is not considered a significant financing component. At contract inception, the Company also expects that the lag period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will not constitute a significant financing component. Many of the Company’s long-term contracts have milestone payments, which align the payment schedule with the progress towards completion on the performance obligation. On some contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment, which is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to facilitate inventory demands at the onset of a contract and to safeguard the Company from the failure of the other party to abide by some or all of their obligations under the contract.

Contract Balances

Contract balances result from the timing of revenue recognized, billings and cash collections, and the generation of contract assets and liabilities. Contract assets are presented as such on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts invoiced to the customer and the right to payment is not solely subject to the passage of time. Contract liabilities are presented as deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and relate to advanced payments and billings in excess of revenues recognized and are recognized into revenue as the Company satisfies the underlying performance obligation, either over time as costs are incurred or as control is transferred to the customer.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded for amounts to which the Company is entitled and has invoiced to the customer. The Company had a nominal amount of unbilled receivables as of December 31, 2025 and $3.5 million as of December 31, 2024. Unbilled receivables primarily consist of unbilled amounts under T&M contracts where billing and payment is subject solely to the passage of time.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company includes in its computation of remaining performance obligations customer orders for which it has accepted signed sales orders. The definition of remaining performance obligations excludes contracts accounted for under the “right to invoice” practical expedient.

Equity-based Compensation

The Company’s equity-based compensation plans are classified as equity plans and compensation expense is generally recognized over the vesting period of stock awards. The Company issues stock awards in the form of incentive units, non-qualified stock options, time-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and eligibility to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The fair value of incentive units and stock options are calculated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“OPM”). Given the absence of adequate historical data, the Company uses the simplified method to estimate the term of stock options granted to employees. The fair value of the time-based restricted stock units are calculated based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the grant date.

The vesting of the incentive units is contingent on service-based, performance-based, and market conditions and, as such, the recognition of compensation expense is deferred until it is probable the performance conditions will be satisfied. Once it is probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied, unrecognized compensation expense is recognized based on the portion of the requisite service period that has been rendered. If the requisite period is complete, compensation expense is recognized regardless of market conditions being met.

For non-qualified stock options, time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units, the Company recognizes the grant date fair value as compensation expense on a straight-line method over the vesting period (typically three years) and recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

The ESPP authorizes the grant of rights to employee participants to purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions, up to 15% of their eligible compensation. The plan is a compensatory plan as it allows participants to purchase stock equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the beginning or end of each offering period, whichever is less (the “Discounted Value”). The ESPP is accounted for as an equity classified award. The Company recognizes the fair value of the ESPP award at the start of the offering period as compensation expense on a straight-line method over the offering period. The fair value of the ESPP award is comprised of the value of Discounted Value and the value associated with the variability in the Company’s common stock price during the offering period, which is estimated using the Black-Scholes model.

Income Taxes

The Company computes its provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based on the basis difference for financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. All deferred income taxes are classified as non-current in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company records a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assesses the deferred tax assets for recoverability on a quarterly basis.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). This ASU requires a public business entity (“PBE”) to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign, as well as by jurisdiction, if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. For PBEs, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025 and continuing to provide the pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods, or may apply the amendments retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all periods presented. The Company adopted this ASU prospectively for the period ending December 31, 2025, which only impacted our disclosures and had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU removes references to prescriptive and sequential development stages, requiring companies to capitalize internal-use software costs when management commits to funding the software project and it is probable the project will be completed. The ASU will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028, and can be applied on a prospective, modified prospective, or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This ASU requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. Additionally, the amendment requires a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in the relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and the disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. For PBEs, the new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments prospectively for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption, which is expected to have an impact on disclosures only and no impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Other accounting standards updates adopted and/or issued, but not effective until after December 31, 2025, are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

Note C – Business Combinations

Edge Autonomy Acquisition

On January 20, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended on February 3, 2025, and June 9, 2025, the “Merger Agreement”) with Edge Ultimate Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Ultimate Holdings”) to acquire 100% of the equity interests in Edge Autonomy Intermediate Holdings, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Edge Autonomy”), a leading provider of field-proven uncrewed airborne system (“UAS”) technology (the “Edge Acquisition”). On June 13, 2025, following the satisfaction of all regulatory approvals, including a stockholder vote, the acquisition was completed. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement Edge Autonomy emerged as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On the same day, the merger consideration was transferred, including $160.0 million in cash (“Cash Consideration”) and the issuance of 49,764,847 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Equity Consideration”). Common stock was held back from the Equity Consideration to fund post-closing purchase price adjustments, if any, in the amount of $5.0 million, valued at a price per share of $15.07. The Company funded the Cash Consideration using cash on hand and proceeds from its indebtedness. Refer to Note I – Debt for additional information on the Company’s outstanding debt.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, whereby the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill reflects the potential synergies and expansion of the Company’s offerings across product lines and markets complementary to its existing products and markets. For tax purposes, the goodwill is not deductible.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred and the estimated fair values of the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

Total intangible assets$298,100

The amounts above represent the final valuation analyses completed to assess the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the amount of goodwill to be recognized as of the acquisition date. These fair values were based on management’s estimates and assumptions.

The fair values of identifiable intangible assets were determined by using certain estimates and assumptions that are not observable in the market. The fair value of the acquired technology and trademark and trade name was estimated using the relief from royalty method. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value included forecasted revenues, expected royalty rates, and discount rates. The fair value of the acquired customer relationships was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of customer relationships included forecasted revenues, expected customer attrition rates, and discount rates.

The results of operations of Edge Autonomy have been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition, June 13, 2025 and are reported in our Defense Tech segment. The table below presents the revenues and net income (loss) of Edge Autonomy included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) since the acquisition date, for the following periods:

The amounts included in the pro forma financial information are based on historical results and do not necessarily represent what would have occurred if the Edge Acquisition had taken place as of January 1, 2024, nor do they represent results that may occur in the future. Accordingly, the pro forma financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the results that would have been realized had the business combination occurred as of the date indicated or that may be achieved in the future.

Other Acquisitions

On August 30, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Hera Systems, Inc. (“Hera”), a spacecraft developer focused on specialized missions for national security space customers. Hera’s primary operations include developing high-performance spacecraft to support the evolving requirements for national security missions operating in contested space. Hera’s advanced platform incorporates cyber-secure communications, resilient power systems, highly accurate pointing, extensive maneuverability and massive on-board computing power supporting mission- and payload-specific machine learning. This acquisition was not material individually to the Company’s financial position nor the results of operations for the periods presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), respectively. Therefore, the pro forma operating results and other disclosures for the Hera acquisition are not presented.

The Company incurred acquisition related costs for completed acquisitions of $21.0 million and $5.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and incurred nominal costs for the year ended December 31, 2023. These expenses are included in transaction expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Note D – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable, contract assets, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and other current liabilities are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at amounts that approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial assets and liabilities.

The fair value of the Company’s debt approximates its carrying value and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as it is based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate.

In September 2021, the Company issued 7,732,168 private warrants in a transaction exempt from registration under securities regulations. The warrants, which are not listed for trading on a stock exchange, entitle the holder to purchaseone share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The warrants will expire on September 2, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The private warrants were established as a liability at issuance. Classification of the private warrants as liability instruments was based on an analysis of the guidance in accordance with U.S. GAAP and a statement issued by the Staff of the SEC regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies.” The Company considered whether the private warrants display the three characteristics of a derivative, and concluded the private warrants meet the definition of a derivative. However, the private warrants fail to meet the equity scope exception and thus are classified as a liability measured at fair value, subject to remeasurement at each reporting period. The changes in fair value of the private warrant liability were a decrease of $16.1 million and an increase of $52.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These changes in fair value are recognized asother (income) expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

During the year ended December 31, 2025,4,631,799 private warrants were exercised on a cashless basis for 2,293,739 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025,467,174 private warrants were exercised and converted into 467,174 shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of $11.50 per share for proceeds of $5.4 million. Upon exercise, the Company remeasured the fair value of the related private warrants, which was recognized asother (income) expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and then released the associated liability upon issuance of the Company’s common stock. Refer to Note K – Warrants and Capital Stock Transactions for additional information.

The private warrants were valued using a modified Black-Scholes OPM. As certain inputs are not observable in the market, the private warrants are classified as Level 3 instruments within the fair value hierarchy. The table below presents the fair value per warrant and the valuation assumptions under the Black-Scholes OPM:

The Company observed a significant decline in discounted future cash flows, specifically in the Space Europe reporting unit, primarily attributable to a decrease in forecasted revenues as well as increased production costs that have reduced margins of existing performance obligations and encountered deferred pipeline realization. After considering the totality of events and circumstances, the Company determined that these triggering events indicated that certain recorded long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangibles may be impaired. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment of asset groups within the Space Europe reporting unit as of October 1, 2025 and determined that the carrying value of one asset group was not recoverable based on entity-specific, undiscounted net cash flows. Accordingly, impairment expense was measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset groups exceeded their fair value as of the assessment date. The fair value of the asset group was determined using an income approach based on a discounted cash flow model, which resulted in an impairment of certain tangible and intangible assets recorded on the underlying asset group. Based on the results of the quantitative impairment test performed during 2025, the Company recognized impairment expense related to furniture and fixtures, machinery and equipment and leasehold improvements of $2.6 million.

There wasno impairment recognized related to property, plant and equipment during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

As disclosed in Note F – Property, Plant and Equipment, net, the Company identified triggering events indicating that certain recorded long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangibles may be impaired. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment of asset groups within the Space Europe reporting unit as of October 1, 2025 and determined that the carrying value of one asset group was not recoverable based on entity-specific, undiscounted net cash flows. Accordingly, impairment expense was measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset groups exceeded their fair value as of the assessment date.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill for its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2025. As a result of the assessment, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the Space Europe reporting unit was in excess of its fair value and recognized a $20.9 million impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2025, reducing the reporting unit’s goodwill balance tozero as of December 31, 2025. The Space Europe reporting unit is included in the Space segment. An impairment was also recognized on certain tangible and intangible assets for certain asset groups within the reporting unit. Refer to Note F – Property, Plant and Equipment, net and Note G – Intangible Assets, net for additional information.

Fair value estimates used in the Company’s quantitative impairment assessments result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management as of the measurement date. The fair values of the Company’s reporting units were determined using a combination and applied weighting of an income approach based on a discounted cash flow model as well as two market approaches based on (i) guideline public company revenues and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization multiples and (ii) guideline transactions, whereby consideration is given to prices paid in market comparable transactions.

There wasno impairment recognized related to goodwill during 2024 and 2023.

Effective December 2025, in connection with the change in reportable operating segments, the Company reassessed its reporting units and identifiedsix reporting units, Space Mission Solutions, Space US, Space Europe, Space Defense Tech, North America Defense Tech, and Europe Defense Tech. As a result, the Company allocated the goodwill balance to each reporting unit and respective reportable operating segments during December 2025. Space Mission Solutions, Space U.S. and Space Europe are within the Space segment and Space Defense Tech, North America Defense Tech, and Europe Defense Tech are within the Defense Tech segment.

Adams Street Credit Agreement

On October 28, 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Adams Street Capital (the “Adams Street Credit Agreement”), the terms of which were subsequently modified by various amendments through December 31, 2025. As amended, the Adams Street Credit Agreement includes (i) a $31.0 million term loan commitment, (ii) a $15.0 million delayed draw term loan, (iii) a $32.0 million incremental term loan, and (iv) a $65.0 million revolving credit facility commitment, all of which mature on April 28, 2027. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company borrowed $5.0 million and repaid $55.0 million on the revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $35.0 million of remaining capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal under the Adams Street Credit Agreement incurs cash interest in accordance with the base rate plus the applicable rates as set forth in the table below:

Term SOFR RateBase Rate
Term loans6.00%5.00%
Revolving credit facility:
Aggregate principal of $5.0 million or less6.005.00
Aggregate principal in excess of $5.0 million7.506.50

As amended in March 2022, AE Industrial Partners Fund II, LP (“AEI Fund II”) and certain of its affiliates (the “AEI Guarantors”), provided a limited guarantee for the payment of outstanding revolving loans in excess of $10.0 million, with a $15.0 million cap in the aggregate. In the event that the AEI Guarantors are required to make payments to the lenders under the Adams Street Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of the limited guarantee, each AEI Guarantor would be subrogated to the rights of the lenders. In connection with the limited guarantee, the Company agreed to pay to the AEI Guarantors a fee equal to 2% of any amount actually paid by such guarantors under the limited guarantee. The fee is waivable by the AEI Guarantors at their discretion.

In June 2024, the Company entered into an Eighth Amendment to the Adams Street Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”), in which the commitments under the revolving credit facility increased from $30.0 million to $45.0 million. Pursuant to the Eighth Amendment, the Company is required to maintain an aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving credit loans of no less than $10.0 million. In August 2024, the Company entered into a Ninth Amendment to the Adams Street Credit Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”), in which the commitments under the revolving credit facility increased from $45.0 million to $65.0 million. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving credit loans the Company is required to maintain increased from no less than $10.0 million to no less than $30.0 million.

In June 2025, the Company entered into a Tenth Amendment to the Adams Street Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”) in which, (i) the maturity date was extended to April 28, 2027, (ii) the interest rate of the term loans will be increased to match the interest rate under the JPMorgan Credit Agreement (as defined below), commencing on January 1, 2026, and (iii) Adams Street Capital was granted a second-priority lien on the equity interests of Edge Autonomy, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. In connection with the Tenth Amendment, the Company incurred a nominal amount of fees paid to the lender and third-parties. Fees paid to the lender were recorded as a discount on the related facility, while costs paid to third-parties were expensed as incurred and recorded as other (income) expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

On December 31, 2025, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding principal and interest balances of the Adams Street term loan, incremental term loan and delayed draw term loan in the aggregate amount of $75.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, with the proceeds received from sales of the Company’s common stock through the at-the-market (“ATM”) facility. Additionally, on December 31, 2025, the Company also used a portion of the proceeds from the ATM facility to repay the $30.0 million outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility commitment, which also reduced the facility’s commitment to $35.0 million on the same date. The early repayment of the term loans was treated as extinguishment of debt and the decrease in the revolving credit facility commitment was treated as a modification. As a result, the unamortized discount and issuance costs related to the term loans and a portion of unamortized issuance costs related to the revolving credit facility were written off in the aggregate amount of $1.0 million as loss on extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025. Refer to Note K – Warrants and Capital Stock Transactions for additional information related to the Company’s ATM activity.

The Adams Street Credit Agreement, as amended, contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and other covenants and events of default, including among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and covenant defaults. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its covenant requirements, as amended.

JPMorgan Chase Credit Agreement

In June 2025, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Edge Intermediate Holdings, LLC, entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “JPMorgan Credit Agreement”) which includes a $90.0 million term loan that matures on April 28, 2027. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal under the JPMorgan Credit Agreement incurs cash interest, which is payable quarterly at a rate equal to the SOFR rate plus an applicable per annum rate of 6.5% through December 31, 2025 and 7.0% from January 1, 2026 through maturity. Under the terms of the JPMorgan Credit Agreement, the Company will make principal payments in the amount of 1.25% of the original outstanding term loan quarterly until maturity at which time the remaining principal balance becomes due in full. The JPMorgan Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and other covenants and events of default, including among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and covenant defaults. In connection with the issuance of the JPMorgan Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $4.2 million of fees paid to the lender and debt issuance costs, which were recorded as a discount on the related term loan and are being amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its covenant requirements.

Seller Note

In June 2025, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note agreement with Ultimate Holdings (an affiliate of AE Industrial Partners and former parent of Edge Autonomy) (the “Seller Note”), which included a note payable of $100.0 million. The Seller Note was used to finance a portion of the cash consideration of the Edge Autonomy acquisition. The Seller Note had a 3.0% upfront fee that was paid-in-kind and added to the principal amount, which was fully earned at maturity as described below. The Seller Note also had a minimum return payment that was equal to 1.20 times the original principal amount if it was repaid prior to December 31, 2025, less any aggregate cash payments of principal, interest (including paid-in-kind interest) and the upfront fee previously or then being paid in cash. The upfront fee and minimum return payment were recorded as a discount on the related term loan and were being amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The Seller Note accrued interest at an annual rate of 15.0% through December 31, 2025 and 18.0% thereafter which was payable quarterly either in cash or in-kind, at the Company’s option. The Seller Note had a maturity that was the earliest of (i) a change in control or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (ii) the date that is ninety-one (91) days following the maturity date of the Adams Street Credit Agreement or JPMorgan Credit Agreement; and (iii) acceleration following an event of default as defined within the agreement. The Seller Note also provided that if the Company received any equity financing net proceeds,100.0% of such proceeds, to the extent available, must be applied to the prepayment of the Seller Note in cash.

In June 2025, the Company completed an equity raise and issued 15,525,000 shares of common stock at a price of $16.75 per share for net proceeds of $245.0 million. In accordance with the terms of the Seller Note, the Company used $120.0 million of these proceeds to repay the Seller Note in full, inclusive of the minimum return payment as described above. As a result of the repayment, the Company recorded interest expense of $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Note J – Leases

The Company has entered into and acquired long-term leasing arrangements for the right to use various classes of underlying assets, including facilities, vehicles and office equipment. Certain facility leases contain predetermined fixed escalation of minimum rents at stated rates ranging from 1.00% to 25.00% per annum andthree leases with annual escalations based on certain price indices. In addition, certain facility leases include renewal options that could extend the lease term for up to an additional fifteen years. The office equipment lease contains a renewal option that could extend the lease to consecutive 60-day terms and a purchase option.

Total lease costs$9,741$5,800$5,042

Total lease costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and cost of sales on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company abandoned a leased facility and recognized impairment expense of $0.3 million related to ROU assets. There wasno impairment recognized related to ROU assets during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company hadone facility lease that had not yet commenced but requires significant future lease obligations in the amount of $12.3 million. The contract was determined to be an operating lease, whereby the Company is not required to make rent payments prior to the lease commencement date while construction is completed on the underlying asset. Due to the nature of the work and the amount of the Company’s contribution to the construction period costs for the lease, the Company was determined not to be the owner of the assets under construction as the landlord has substantially all of the construction period risks.

Note K – Warrants and Capital Stock Transactions

Public Warrants

Each public warrant entitles the registered holder to purchaseone share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of common stock. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. The warrants will expire on September 2, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may call the public warrants for redemption as follows: (1) in whole and not in part; (2) at a price of $0.01 per warrant; (3) upon a minimum of 30 days prior written notice of redemption; and (4) only if the last reported closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the 3 rd trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the public warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the public warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.”

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of the Company’s common stock or other similar event. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant shares.

On February 20, 2025, the Company directed its warrant agent to deliver a notice of redemption to each registered holder of the outstanding public warrants in accordance with the terms under the warrant agreement as further described above. During the year ended December 31, 2025,6,738,225 public warrants were exercised and converted into 6,738,225 shares of Company’s common stock at the exercise price of $11.50 per share for proceeds of $77.5 million and 1,450,586 public warrants were redeemed by the Company at $0.01 per warrant.

As of December 31, 2025, there wereno public warrants issued and outstanding and as of December 31, 2024, there were 8,188,811 public warrants issued and outstanding.

The terms and provisions of the public warrants described above also apply to the private warrants. If the private warrants are held by holders other than the original holders or their respective permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants. The original holders and their respective permitted transferees have the option to exercise the private warrants on a cashless basis.

During the year ended December 31, 2025,4,631,799 private warrants were exercised on a cashless basis for 2,293,739 shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion factor was derived by multiplying the amount of common shares underlying the warrants by the excess fair value over the warrant exercise price and then dividing by the fair value. The fair value is defined as the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise was provided to the Company’s stock transfer agent. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025,467,174 private warrants were exercised and converted into 467,174 shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of $11.50 per share for proceeds of $5.4 million. Upon exercise, the Company remeasured the fair value of the related warrants and released the associated liability upon issuance of the Company’s common stock. Refer to Note D – Fair Value of Financial Instruments for information on the Level 3 inputs used to value the private warrants.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, there were 2,633,195 and 7,732,168 private warrants issued and outstanding.

Equity Offering

In June 2025, the Company issued 15,525,000 shares of common stock at a price of $16.75 per share for net proceeds of $245.0 million (the “Equity Offering”). The shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s Form S-3 filed with the SEC on September 6, 2023, under which the Company may offer and sell up to $400 million of the Company’s securities. In connection with the issuance of common stock, the Company used a portion of the proceeds to repay the Seller Note in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Refer to Note I – Debt for additional information on the Seller Note. In July 2025, the Company issued an additional 600,100 shares of common stock pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option at a price of $16.75 per share for additional net proceeds of $9.1 million.

ATM Facility

In November 2025, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) by and between the Company, Truist Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and TCBI Securities, Inc., doing business as Texas Capital Securities (each an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”). Pursuant to the terms of the ATM Agreement, the

Company may sell, from time to time through or to the Agents, as the Company’s sales agent and/or as principal, shares of its common stock (the “Shares”), having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $250 million. The sales, if any, of the Company’s common stock made under the ATM Agreement may be made in sales deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange, on any other existing trading market for the Shares, or to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The Company incurred costs associated with the ATM Agreement of $0.7 million, which were recorded to APIC against proceeds received from sales of the Company’s common stock under the ATM Agreement.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had sold 25,520,441 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $7.23 for $184.6 million of gross proceeds. The Company also incurred $4.6 million of commission fees resulting in $180.0 million net proceeds. The Company had $65.4 million of unused capacity under the ATM agreement as of December 31, 2025.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company evaluates whether it is more-likely-than-not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards are available. During the year ended December 31, 2025, and in connection with the acquisition of Edge Autonomy, the Company determined that a portion of its deferred tax assets would, more-likely-than-not, be realized and, as a result, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $25.0 million, substantially all of which relates to the recognition of deferred tax assets and the corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance.

The table below presents the change in valuation allowance for the following periods:

Valuation allowance as of December 31, 2023$(23,821)
Acquired deferred tax assets(5,350)
Income tax expense(16,153)
Valuation allowance as of December 31, 2024(45,324)
Income tax expense(25,380)
Valuation allowance as of December 31, 2025$(70,704)

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $80.4 million of total net operating losses (“NOL”) resulting in deferred taxes assets consisting of U.S. federal, state (net), and foreign NOLs of $54.1 million, $16.1 million, and $10.2 million, respectively. The $54.1 million in U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards may be carried forward indefinitely to reduce future taxable income for U.S. federal tax purposes, while certain state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2039.

The table below presents changes in reserves for unrecognized income tax benefits for the following periods:

Year Ended
December 31, 2025December 31, 2024December 31, 2023

Increase (decrease) for tax positions taken related to a prior period———
Unrecognized tax benefits, end of period$1,380$1,380$1,380

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize certain tax benefits from uncertain tax positions within the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s estimated gross unrecognized tax benefits were $1.4 million, of which $1.3 million, if recognized, would favorably impact the Company’s future earnings. The Company believes there will be no material changes to unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. Due to uncertainties in any tax audit outcome, estimates of the ultimate settlement of our unrecognized tax positions may change and the actual tax benefits may differ from the estimates. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company didnot recognize any interest and penalties in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2025, the Company is subject to examination by the IRS for tax years beginning in 2022. The Company is open to state income tax examinations until the applicable statute of limitations expires, generally four years after tax return filing; however, the ability for the taxing authority to adjust tax attribute carryforwards will continue until the applicable statute of limitations expires after tax attribute utilization or expiration.

Note M – Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies in the Normal Course of Business

Under certain contracts with the U.S. government and certain governmental entities, contract costs, including indirect costs, are subject to audit by and adjustment through negotiation with governmental representatives. Revenue is recorded in amounts expected to be realized on final settlement of any such audits.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to litigation, claims, investigations and audits arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Although legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to any matters currently pending against it and intends to defend itself vigorously. Excluding pending matters disclosed below, the outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has established reserves for matters for which the Company believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For matters, including certain of those described herein, where the Company has not established a reserve, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. These matters are subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of the individual claims is not predictable with certainty. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed herein, could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the accompanying consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period. The Company recognizes legal expenses when incurred, unless otherwise disclosed below, as selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

On December 17, 2021, the Company, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Peter Cannito, and then current, but now former Chief Financial Officer, William Read, were named as defendants in a putative class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. That litigation is captioned Lemen v. Redwire Corp. et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-01254-TJC-PDB (M.D. Fla.) (“Lemen”). On March 7, 2022, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff. On June 17, 2022, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. In the amended complaint, the lead plaintiff alleges that the Company and certain of its directors and officers made misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, allegedly in violation of Section 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. As relief, the plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, compensatory damages. On August 16, 2022, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint in its entirety, and such motion was denied by the Court on March 22, 2023. On November 15, 2024, the Company and plaintiffs filed a joint motion for a stipulated order to settle this litigation pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into among the parties. Under the terms of the agreement, Redwire agreed to pay $8.0 million to settle claims brought on behalf of purchasers of Redwire’s publicly traded shares from March 25, 2021, through March 31, 2022. Redwire has agreed to certification of a settlement class to facilitate resolution of claims. The Company consistently denied the accusations and entered into this proposed settlement, which was not an admission or concession of liability, to avoid the costs and risks inherent in continued litigation. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid the $8.0 million settlement amount into escrow releasing the previously recognized loss contingency. That amount was later released from escrow following a final order by the Court approving the settlement and dismissing the case with prejudice, which was entered on August 18, 2025. The Company anticipates recovery from insurance of approximately $1.1 million of the settlement amount, most of which has now been recovered by the Company. The remainder of the anticipated recovery is included as prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The settlement has resolved all claims against Redwire and the other defendants in this matter.

On May 25, 2022, a plaintiff commenced derivative litigation in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on behalf of the Company against Peter Cannito, Les Daniels, Reggie Brothers, Joanne Isham, Kirk Konert, Jonathan Baliff, and John S. Bolton. That litigation is captioned Yingling v. Cannito, et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00684-MN (D. Del.). The complaint’s allegations are similar to those of a previously settled class action lawsuit filed in December 2021 (Lemen), namely, that statements about the Company’s business and operations were misleading due to alleged material weaknesses in the Company’s financial reporting internal controls. The plaintiff alleges the defendants violated Section 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, breached their fiduciary duty by allowing misleading disclosures to be made, and caused the Company to overpay compensation and bonuses tied to the Company’s financial performance. As relief, the plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, compensatory and punitive damages. This litigation had previously been stayed pending resolution of the Lemen matter. Subsequent to the announcement of the Lemen settlement, the parties entered into a stipulated transfer of this matter to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida to be handled by the same judge overseeing the Lemen litigation. Shortly after this transfer of venue, the Court entered an administrative stay of the matter pending final resolution of the Lemen matter. In light of the final settlement of the Lemen matter during August 2025, the stay was lifted, and discovery in this matter has resumed. The defendants maintain that the allegations are without merit. On August 14, 2025, the Company and the individual defendants reached an agreement-in-principle with plaintiff to settle this matter, whereby the Company would adopt certain corporate governance reforms, subject to Court approval of a final settlement agreement. After negotiating these reforms, counsel for plaintiff and counsel for the Company and individual defendants separately, and through mediation, negotiated the attorneys’ fees and expenses to be paid to plaintiff’s counsel in the amount of $0.9 million, subject to Court approval. If the settlement is not approved, discovery is expected to resume, and the Company is currently unable to predict the likely outcome of the proceedings or estimate the range of reasonably possible losses, which may be material. The Company has recognized a loss contingency of $0.9 million and a corresponding $0.9 million anticipated insurance recovery as of December 31, 2025, which is its best estimate of probable loss and recovery based on the current circumstances. The loss contingency and anticipated recovery is included as other current liabilities and prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

Business Combinations

The Company has acquired and plans to continue to acquire businesses with prior operating histories. These acquisitions may have unknown or contingent liabilities, which the Company may become responsible for and could have a material impact on the Company’s future operating results and cash flows. In addition, the Company may incur acquisition costs, regardless of whether or not the acquisition is ultimately completed, which may be material to future periods. Refer to Note C – Business Combinations for additional information.

On October 28, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation describing the terms and conditions of newly issued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), with 88,000.00 total shares constituting the series. On or around the same date, the Company entered into investment agreements with (i) AE Fund II and AE Industrial Partners Structured Solutions I, LP (“AEI Structured Solutions”, and together with AEI Fund II, (“AEI”)), (ii) BCC Redwire Aggregator, LP (“Bain Capital”) and (iii) various investors (collectively, the “Additional Investors,” and together with AEI and Bain Capital, the “Investors”). Pursuant to the investment agreements, the Company sold an aggregate of 81,250.00 shares (“Purchased Shares”) of Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $81.25 million, or $76.4 million net of issuance costs. The investment agreements contain customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and Investors. On October 31, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Designation of the Company, which was filed solely to increase the amount of shares designated as Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to 125,292.00.

Based on an evaluation of the investment agreements, the Company determined that the Convertible Preferred Stock is contingently or optionally redeemable and, therefore, does not require liability classification. However, due to the Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemable at the option of the holder or upon a fundamental change, which includes events that are not fully within the Company’s control, it was determined that the Convertible Preferred Stock should be classified as one line item in temporary (mezzanine) equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

During May and November 2025, in accordance with the Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, the Company issued 8,068.27 and 3,311.52 shares, respectively, of Convertible Preferred Stock to holders of record as of April 15, 2025 and October 15, 2025, respectively, as a PIK Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock. As the Company has the option of paying dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock in either cash or in kind, the PIK Dividend is recorded at fair value as of the respective declaration date. The fair value of the PIK Dividend as of April 15, 2025 and October 15, 2025 was $33.3 million and $13.9 million, respectively, which was recorded against additional paid-in-capital since the Company has an accumulated loss. The fair value of the May and November 2025 PIK Dividends was calculated using the accrued value per share after a remaining term of 1.0 year and 2.0 years, respectively, on an as-converted basis, or $4,125 per share and $4,186 per share, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2025,61,895.39 shares of the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock were, at the option of the holder in accordance with the Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, converted into 21,529,115 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, based on the accrued value (defined as the initial value plus accumulated paid and unpaid dividends) as of the conversion date and a conversion ratio of $3.05.

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from its common stock issuance to repurchase 11,628.57 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively, from Bain Capital for $63.9 million in accordance with the Registration Rights Coordination Agreement, dated as of June 8, 2025, by and between the Company, Bain Capital, and AEI. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2025, $16.8 million was derecognized from temporary (mezzanine) equity, which represented the net book value of the Convertible Preferred Stock as of the repurchase date and $47.1 million was recorded against accumulated deficit as a distribution.

Bain Capital Director and Nominees

For so long as Bain Capital held record and beneficial ownership of at least 50% of the Purchased Shares issued to it as of November 3, 2022, Bain Capital would have the right to designate one member to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). During the year ended December 31, 2025, Bain Capital, at its option, converted all of their remaining 60,228.77 shares of its Convertible Preferred Stock into 20,962,691 shares of the Company’s common stock and subsequently sold such shares of common stock. As such, Bain Capital no longer holds shares of the Company’s common stock or Convertible Preferred Stock.

Convertible Preferred Stock Features

No holder of Convertible Preferred Stock was permitted to transfer any of their shares to any unaffiliated person for twelve (12) months following the closing date of the applicable investment agreement, except for certain exceptions, including that Bain Capital and AEI were permitted to transfer shares to each other. AEI has been provided customary preemptive rights with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock and, after the seventh anniversary of the closing date, for so long as AEI has record and beneficial ownership of at least 50% of the Purchased Shares initially issued to them, may cause the Company to retain an investment banker to identify and conduct a potential sale of the Company.

The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $3.05 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution and price protective adjustments.

The Company previously obtained the requisite shareholder approval for the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock above the 19.99% Limitation (as defined below). On June 20, 2023, the Company filed with the SEC a Schedule 14C information statement pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act, which provided notice of the approval of (i) the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock in excess of 19.99% of the 63,852,690 shares outstanding as of October 28, 2022 immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Conversion Cap”) and (ii) voting rights of the aggregate number of votes to which all holders of outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate number of votes to which all shareholders of the Company were entitled to vote as of October 28, 2022 (including the holders of shares of Preferred Stock) (the “Voting Cap” and, together with the Conversion Cap, the “19.99% Limitation”).

As of December 31, 2025, the 46,505.13 outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock were convertible into approximately 15,583,454 shares of the Company’s common stock. The holders of Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of common stock, on an as-converted basis. In addition, holders of Convertible Preferred Stock have the right, at their option and at any time, to convert their shares into shares of common stock. Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will mandatorily convert upon achieving thresholds related to the Company’s market capitalization and profitability metrics and the Company is required to make an offer to repurchase the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock upon a fundamental change.

Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock can be paid in either cash or in kind in the form of additional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, at the option of the Company, subject to certain exceptions. If paid in cash, such dividends will be paid at a rate of 13% per annum, subject to certain adjustments and exceptions or, if the Company issues PIK dividends, at a rate of 15% per annum, subject to certain adjustments and exceptions. Each holder of Convertible Preferred Stock has been given certain registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 28, 2022. As of December 31, 2025, the accumulated but not declared or paid dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock were $1.0 million.

Liquidation Preference

The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock. In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of the Company’s common stock the greater of (a) the greater of (i)two times the Initial Value (defined as $1,000 per share) and (ii) the Initial Value plus accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, and (b) the amount that would have been received based on the if-converted Accrued Value, defined as Initial Value plus accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the liquidation preference of the Convertible Preferred Stock was $118.4 million and $599.4 million, respectively.

Contract Balances

The table below presents the contract assets and contract liabilities included on the consolidated balance sheets for the following periods:

December 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Contract assets$44,019$43,044
Contract liabilities$60,119$67,201

The increase in contract assets during 2025 was primarily driven by production incurred on related contracts resulting in revenue recognized and the timing of billable milestones occurring during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The decrease in contract liabilities during 2025 was primarily driven by the timing of large billable milestones occurring during the last quarter of 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2025, as well as decreased bookings during 2025. Revenue recognized in the year ended December 31, 2025 that was included in the contract liability balance as of December 31, 2024 was $61.5 million. Revenue recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024 that was included in the contract liability balance as of December 31, 2023 was $49.4 million.

For revenue recognized over time, the Company evaluates the contract value and cost estimates at completion (“EAC”) for performance obligations at least quarterly and more frequently when circumstances significantly change. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of the Company’s performance obligations, the estimate of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment by management on a contract-by-contract basis. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, labor productivity, the nature and technical complexity of the work to be performed, availability and cost volatility of materials, subcontractor and vendor performance, volume assumptions, inflationary trends, and schedule and performance delays.

When the Company’s estimate of total costs to be incurred to satisfy a performance obligation exceeds the expected revenue, the Company recognizes the loss immediately by recording a loss reserve which is included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. When the Company determines that a change in estimate has an impact on the associated profit of a performance obligation, the Company records the cumulative positive or negative adjustment in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Changes in estimates and assumptions related to the status of certain long-term contracts may have a material effect on the Company’s operating results.

Net EAC adjustments can have a significant effect on reported revenues and gross profit. The below table summarizes the favorable (unfavorable) impact on gross profit from the net EAC adjustments for the following periods:

Year Ended
December 31, 2025December 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Net EAC adjustments, before income taxes$(54,453)$(17,696)$(3,522)
Net EAC adjustments, net of income taxes(49,062)(17,395)(3,459)
Net EAC adjustments, net of income taxes, per diluted share(0.41)(0.26)(0.05)

The net unfavorable EAC adjustments in 2025 were primarily due to a $25.2 million unfavorable adjustment, including a $12.9 million loss reserve related to a program in the Company’s Defense Tech segment and $14.1 million unfavorable adjustments related to programs in the Space Europe reporting unit as a result of an increase in estimates made for the programmatic and technical assumptions based on the nature and technical complexity of the work to be performed to meet customer specifications. In addition, the Space segment also had further unfavorable adjustments due to production delays, additional unplanned labor and increased production costs as it relates to the development of advanced technologies required to meet customer specifications in multiple space offerings. The net unfavorable EAC adjustments in 2024 were primarily due to additional unplanned labor and test cycles required to meet customer requirements in the Company’s Space segment.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $330.3 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately 54% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue within the next 12 months and the balance thereafter.

Note Q – Employee Benefit Plans

401(k) Plans

The Company maintainedtwo qualified 401(k) plans, the Redwire 401(k) plan and Edge 401(k) plan, for its U.S. employees as of December 31, 2025. The Company maintainedone qualified plan, the Redwire 401(k) plan for its U.S. employees as of December 31, 2024. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company matched employee contributions 50% up to 8% for the Redwire 401(k) plan. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company matched employee contributions 100% up to 4% and 50% up to 6% for the Edge 401(k) plan.

Note R – Equity-Based Compensation

Incentive Units

The Company’s former parent, AE Red Holdings, LLC (formerly known as Redwire Holdings, LLC) (“Holdings”) adopted a written compensatory benefit plan (the “Class P Unit Incentive Plan”) to provide incentives to existing or new employees, officers, managers, directors, or other service providers of the Company or its subsidiaries in the form of Holdings’ Class P Units (“Incentive Units”). As amended, the Tranche I and the Tranche III Incentive Units became fully vested in 2021. Holdings also amended the Class P Unit Incentive Plan so that the Tranche II Incentive Units would vest on any liquidation event, as defined in the Class P Unit Incentive Plan, rather than only upon consummation of the sale of Holdings, subject to the market-based condition stipulated in the Class P Unit Incentive Plan prior to its amendment. All compensation expense was recognized during 2021 and 2022 and as of December 31, 2025, Tranches I and III were fully vested and Tranche II is still subject to the market-based vesting condition. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, Tranche II met the market-based vesting condition and was fully vested.

The former parent of Edge Autonomy, Ultimate Holdings, adopted a written compensatory benefit plan (the “Edge Incentive Unit Plan”) to provide incentives to existing or new employees, officers, managers, directors, or other service providers of Edge Autonomy or its subsidiaries in the form of Ultimate Holdings’ Class A and B Units (“Edge Incentive Units”). In June 2025, Ultimate Holdings amended the Edge Incentive Unit Plan, which caused the Tranche I Edge Incentive Units to vest as of the amended date, the Tranche II Edge Incentive Units to vest on the first anniversary of the Edge Autonomy acquisition date, and the Tranche III Edge Incentive Units to vest on the second anniversary of the Edge Autonomy acquisition date. In connection with the amended Edge Incentive Unit Plan the Company determined the weighted average fair value at the modification date of the Edge Incentive Units as $13.94 per unit using Black-Scholes OPM with the following assumptions:

June 23, 2025
Strike price$1.00 to $7.71
Redwire common stock price$15.36
Time to exit1.52 to 2.52 years
Expected volatility94.00% to 89.30%
Risk-free rate of return3.88% to 3.78%
Expected annual dividend yield—%

Both Tranche II and III vesting is subject to the employee’s continued employment with the Company. The fair value determined at the date of the amendment of the Edge Incentive Unit Plan was immediately recognized as compensation expense for Tranche I. Compensation expense for Tranche II and III is being derived over the service period ofone andtwo years, respectively, and recognized on a straight-line basis. As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $42.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the Tranche II and III Edge Incentive Units expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.47 years.

2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan

Shares of the Company’s stock reserved for grants under the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) were 13,126,536 and 11,786,489 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees and officers employed by the Company. The Plan appoints the Board, the Compensation Committee or such other committee consisting of two or more individuals appointed by the Board to administer the Plan.

Stock Options

The Company’s Plan authorizes the grant of stock options (incentive and non-qualified) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock with a contractual term of 10 years. The options vest over athree-year term as follows:33.3% on the first anniversary of the grant date,33.3% on the second anniversary of the grant date, and 33.4% on the third anniversary of the grant date. Vesting is contingent upon continued employment with or service to the Company; both the unexercised vested and unvested portions of an option will be immediately forfeited and canceled if employment or service ceases to the Company. The Company recognizes equity-based compensation expense for the options equal to the fair value of the awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and recognizes forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of options granted under the Plan is estimated on the grant date under the Black-Scholes OPM.

The Company didnot grant any options under the Plan during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 and there wereno forfeitures or expirations of stock options during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The table below presents the outstanding stock options under the Plan:

Number of OptionsWeighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per ShareWeighted-Average Exercise Price per ShareWeighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)
Outstanding as of December 31, 20241,742,942$2.64$6.967.04
Exercised(13,670)1.803.13
Outstanding as of December 31, 20251,729,272$2.65$6.996.04

As of December 31, 2025, there wasno remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under the Plan and there were 1,729,272 stock options that were vested and exercisable. The intrinsic value of all options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $3.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

The Plan authorizes the grant of performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”). The PSUs generally vest upon completion of athree-year period (“Performance Period”). For awards granted in 2023 and 2024, the number of shares, if any, that are ultimately awarded is contingent upon the Company’s closing price per share at the end of the Performance Period and continued employment or service to the Company. The PSU award allows the grantee to earn between 0% and 200% of the target award based on the Company’s closing stock price per share at the end of the Performance Period. The performance share payout is based on a market condition, and as such, the awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the grant date. The model generates the fair value of the award at the grant date, which is then recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 346,240 PSUs to certain officers, managers and other eligible employees pursuant to the Plan. The PSU award allows the grantee to earn between 0% and 200% of the target award based on the Company’s share performance compared to the Russell Index 2000 Total Return for the period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027 and is contingent on the continued employment with or service to the Company. The grant date fair value of these awards was $26.02 per share. Additionally, PSUs granted during 2023 vested as of December 31, 2025 at 200% of the target award which resulted in an additional 636,097 shares issued.

The fair value of PSUs granted under the Plan was estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

2025 Grants2024 Grants2023 Grants
Valuation date stock price$17.50$7.45$2.63

As of December 31, 2025, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PSUs granted under the Plan was $9.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) awarded under the Plan follow the same vesting conditions as the options described above and are generally subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment prior to vesting dates. The Company recognizes equity-based compensation expense for the RSUs equal to the grant date fair value of the awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

During 2025, the Company granted RSUs under the Plan to non-employee directors and certain officers, managers and other eligible employees pursuant to the Plan, respectively. The RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest overone year and the weighted average grant date fair value of these awards was $13.46 per share. Additionally, the Company granted 935,935 RSUs to certain officers, managers and other eligible employees. The RSUs follow the same vesting conditions as the options described above.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On September 2, 2021, the Company’s Board adopted the Redwire Corporation 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) which authorizes the grant of rights to purchase common stock of the Company to employees, officers and directors (if they are otherwise employees) of the Company. Shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for grants under the ESPP were 3,351,023 and 2,680,999 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The ESPP appoints the Compensation Committee to administer the ESPP. Under the ESPP, each offering has an enrollment period during which each eligible employee has the option to enroll allowing the eligible employee to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of the offering period. Each offering period under the ESPP is generally forfive months, which can be modified from time to time. Subject to limitations, each participant will be permitted to purchase a number of shares determined by dividing the employee’s accumulated payroll deductions for the offering period by the applicable purchase price. The applicable purchase price is calculated as an amount equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at either the beginning or end of each offering period, whichever is less. A participant must designate in the enrollment package the percentage (if any) up to 15% of compensation to be deducted during that offering period for the purchase of stock under the ESPP, subject to certain limitations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company hadfour completed offering periods andno active offering period.

The ESPP is considered a compensatory plan with the related compensation cost expensed over thefive-month offering period. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes OPM to compute the fair market value of shares under the ESPP for each offering period. As of December 31, 2025, an aggregate of 444,590 shares had been purchased and 2,906,433 shares were available for future sales under the ESPP.

Note S – Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

The table below presents a reconciliation of the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share that were computed for the following periods:

Year Ended
December 31, 2025December 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Numerator:
Net income (loss) attributable to Redwire Corporation$(226,552)$(114,315)$(27,263)
Less: dividends on Convertible Preferred Stock45,77741,05220,021
Net income (loss) available to common shareholders$(272,329)$(155,367)$(47,284)
Denominator:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding:
Basic and diluted119,544,26866,146,15564,654,153
Net income (loss) per common share:
Basic and diluted$(2.28)$(2.35)$(0.73)

Net income (loss) available to common shareholders (the numerator) is calculated by deducting both dividends declared and accumulated, regardless of the form of payment, during the period from Net income (loss) attributable to Redwire Corporation as presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding for the periods presented using the treasury-stock method or, for participating securities, the if-converted method or two-class method, whichever is more dilutive. Common equivalent shares outstanding includes the dilutive effects from the assumed issuance, exercise or conversion of warrants, equity-based awards, and the Convertible Preferred Stock, except when antidilutive.

Because the Company had a net loss for all periods presented, the Company didnot have any dilutive securities and/or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per common share is the same as basic net income (loss) per common share for the periods presented. Please refer to Note D – Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Note K – Warrants and Capital Stock Transactions, Note N – Convertible Preferred Stock, and Note R – Equity-Based Compensation for additional information on the Company’s warrants, Convertible Preferred Stock, and equity-based compensation awards, respectively.

Note U – Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company reorganized its segment structure to align with the strategic offerings of each business segment and the way the CODM assesses performance and makes capital allocation decisions. The Company previously operated inone operating segment andone reportable segment. Prior period segment information has been revised to reflect the reorganized segment structure.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company began operating intwo operating segments andtwo reportable segments, Space and Defense Tech. The Space segment develops and provides next-generation spacecraft, large infrastructure, and microgravity capabilities to serve civil, national security, and commercial space customers. The Defense Tech segment develops and provides combat proven autonomous systems, optical sensors and radio frequency payloads that provide intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities for U.S. and allied nations across multiple domains.

Effective December 2025, the CODM assesses segment performance and decides how to allocate resources based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, defined as income (loss) before taxes, excluding, depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, transaction expenses, acquisition integration costs, acquisition earnout costs, purchase accounting fair value adjustment related to deferred revenue and inventory, severance costs, disposal of long-lived assets, equity-based compensation and gains on sale of joint ventures, net of costs incurred. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also excludes intra- and inter-segment sales and costs and corporate pushdown costs. Total asset information is not included in the following summary since the CODM does not regularly review such information for the reportable segments.

The Company has intra- and inter-segment sales and costs, which are eliminated in the reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA figures below. The Company had $5.6 million, $4.8 million and $7.0 million of inter-segment sales and costs during the years ended

December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are eliminated in consolidation. Further information related to the Company’s products and services and geographical distribution of revenues is disclosed in Note P – Revenues.
