(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RCAT) ("Red Cat" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based provider of advanced all-domain drone and robotic solutions for defense and national security, reports its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Business and Financial Highlights
Q3 quarterly revenue grew 646% year over year and 200% over the prior quarter to $9.6 million, beating consensus expectations. Update on the U.S. Army's SRR UAS Tranche 2 (T2) Program: The Limited Rate Production (LRIP) Tranche 2 contract, signed in July 2025, has been expanded and is now valued at approximately $35 million. 2025 annual revenue guidance updated to between $34.5 - $37.5 million, Q4 revenue guided to between $20 -$23 million. $212.5 million of cash and accounts receivable at the end of Q3. Launched Maritime Division, Blue Ops: Red Cat's new division focused on delivering and further developing a family of battle proven uncrewed surface vessel (USV) weapons systems. Blue Ops opened a 155,000 square foot facility in GA with manufacturing capacity of more than 500 vessels per year. 2x expansion of manufacturing space in Salt Lake City (Teal) and Los Angeles (FlightWave) facilities. Teal and FlightWave have recently expanded their manufacturing capacity through new and expanded leased facilities.
“Our record-breaking third quarter revenue and the expansion of our contract with the U.S. Army clearly demonstrates the accelerating adoption of our specialized solutions within the defense and national security sectors,” said Jeff Thompson, CEO of Red Cat.“We are seeing significant returns on our focused strategy, with our products being validated by major government agencies and NATO allies and necessitating the recent 2x expansion of our drone manufacturing facilities. This expansion allows us to deliver speed and volume at scale to the Department of War and U.S. Allies through FMS (Foreign Military Sales). Also, the recent launch of our USV division, Blue Ops, and the lease of our 155,000 sq foot vessel building facility positions us to be the leader of delivering critical unmanned systems for use over land and sea.”
“Our financial performance this quarter demonstrates the operational leverage and discipline as we effectively scale to meet surging demand. We have substantially improved our balance sheet to be able to execute on our long-term goals,” said Chris Ericson, Red Cat CFO.“We have bolstered our quarter-end cash and receivables of $212.5 million in addition to our $30.6 million in inventory and inventory deposits. This liquidity gives us the appropriate strength and ability to execute the demands of the U.S. Army's SRR program, continue building out our USV division and take advantage of possible technology acquisitions and international growth opportunities as we look to position ourselves into 2026.”
Other Business Updates
Blue Ops has partnered with Hodgdon Shipbuilding to produce the first five uncrewed surface vessel prototypes at its facilities in the Boothbay Region and in Damariscotta, Maine, with delivery beginning in Q4. Apium Swarm Robotics joined Red Cat Holdings' Futures Initiative: Following Red Cat's successful U.S. Army testing of its autonomous swarming technology on Teal drones, the partnership advances scalable, decentralized drone swarming capabilities for tactical operations, enabling real-time mission adaptability without centralized control. FANGTM FPV Drone Blue UAS Certification: Red Cat's FANGTM FPV Drone system was officially added to the Department of War's Blue UAS Cleared List, confirming its compliance with stringent cybersecurity and operational requirements for U.S. government use. Successful Palantir VNav Flight Testing: The Company successfully completed flight testing of Palantir Technologies' Visual Navigation (VNav) software on its Black WidowTM drone platform, enhancing its capability for operations in GPS-denied environments. Strategic Partnership with AeroVironment (AV): Red Cat announced a partnership to enable the deployment of the FANGTM FPV drone from AV's P550TM UAS, marking a significant step toward developing multi-domain, networked drone capabilities. Introduced FANGTM - a Low-Cost, NDAA-Compliant FPV Drone Line: Red Cat's first system in the FANG line is the FANGTM F7, a 7-inch retrievable FPV drone optimized for training and tactical use that is now available for purchase by defense and security operators. AI Collaboration with Safe Pro Group: Red Cat collaborated with Safe Pro Group to embed Real-Time AI-Powered Threat Detection directly onboard the Black WidowTM drone platform, significantly enhancing battlefield intelligence capabilities. NATO NSPA Catalogue Approval: Red Cat's Teal Drones Black WidowTM System was approved for the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) Catalogue, paving the way for sales to a broad range of NATO member and partner nations.
