“Ondas delivered a record quarter with $10.1 million in revenue, highlighted by sustained growth momentum at OAS amid a powerful demand cycle for our unmanned platforms,” said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Holdings. “I continue to be pleased with the execution of our core growth plan, led by our Iron Drone Raider and Optimus System platforms, and supported by the expansion of our senior leadership team at OAS which is helping to ensure we have the scalable infrastructure to sustain rapid growth in the years ahead. At the same time, our strategic program continues to advance, creating a deep and maturing pipeline of opportunities for the quarters and years ahead.”

“Our strategic growth plan is advancing and is benefiting from strong investor support as evidenced by the significant capital we’ve raised since June. Our pipeline is expanding and rapidly maturing, highlighted by the acquisition of Sentrycs scheduled to close this month, which we believe will strengthen our layered counter-UAS capabilities, and the acquisition of Apeiro Motion, which establishes a strong initial position in ground robotics tailored for defense and critical infrastructure markets. Similarly, the acquisition of 4M Defense adds a multi-domain robotics and ISR capability, opening a large subsurface intelligence and demining market with significant unmet demand that is now being addressed by OAS.”

“We believe these newly acquired companies bring exceptional platforms, leadership talent, and new customer relationships that expand our capabilities and reinforce our position as a leading global provider of next-generation defense and security technologies. Together, they support the buildout of a scalable operating platform designed to deliver sustainable growth, operating leverage, and long-term profitability.”

“The establishment of Ondas Capital and our expanding partnerships in Europe and Ukraine further strengthen our strategic footprint. We believe these initiatives, together with our investment in and partnership with Rift Dynamics, will advance our localization efforts across Europe and ensure Ondas is positioned to grow in these large and strategically important markets. With what we believe to be one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry, Ondas has demonstrated its ability to deploy capital effectively to drive growth, scale operations, and build a robust financial model characterized by increasing operating leverage and a clear path toward profitability.”

“At Ondas Networks, we continue to position our dot16 platform as the rail industry’s primary roadmap for private network modernization in North America. We were pleased to see the AAR’s Wireless Communications Committee formally declare dot16 as the upgrade path for the legacy 160 MHz network, joining the 900 MHz and 450 MHz networks where dot16 has already been adopted. In parallel, multiple Class 1 railroads have begun engaging with us to develop in-field pilots for new critical applications, reinforcing the long-term strategic value of the Ondas Networks platform.”

“We are doing what we said we would do, when we laid out our core-plus-strategic growth plan at our OAS Investor Day in July. This plan is supported by an exceptionally strong financial position and a growing institutional investor base. With record customer activity, a growing backlog, and increasing visibility, we are building a highly scalable platform at Ondas. We expect to exit 2025 with a record backlog and clear visibility on significant revenue growth into 2026 and beyond,” Brock concluded.

Third Quarter 2025 and Recent Highlights – Ondas Networks

• The Association of American Railroads (AAR) Wireless Communications Committee (WCC) announced in September that IEEE 802.16t (“dot16”) will serve as the upgrade path for the legacy 160 MHz LMR voice network, joining the 900 MHz and 450 MHz networks where dot16 has already been formally adopted.

• The WCC decision on 160 MHz now positions Ondas Networks for a multi-year upgrade cycle across all AAR-owned frequencies, covering thousands of miles of railroad infrastructure throughout North America.

• Several railroads including two Class 1 railroads have immediately engaged with Ondas Networks to develop in-field, Proof of Concept (POC) application testing of dot16 over the 160 MHz network to address telecommunications, signaling and general operational issues. Three POCs are being prepared for deployment on three different properties in Q4 2025 and Q1 2026.

• Recent security bulletins from Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency highlighting vulnerabilities in legacy Head-of-Train/End-of-Train (HoT/EoT) technology have accelerated industry efforts to finalize the Next-Generation HoT/EoT (NGHE) Generation 4 specifications in 2026, which will incorporate Ondas’ 802.16t Direct-Peer-to-Peer protocol.

• A Class 1 railroad that had previously deployed 900 MHz equipment on a subdivision in the Chicago area to meet the Federal Communications Commission’s deadline for the move to the new A Block has now transitioned its complete installation of base stations and wayside devices to IEEE 802.16. This enables the general-purpose network capabilities of dot16 and allows connecting wayside devices such as hotbox detectors to the dot16 network.

• Ondas Networks continues to expand the ecosystem for dot16-enabled applications for all dot16-enabled networks. Third-party dot16 enabled applications enjoy end-to-end bi-directional communications over the railroads’ existing networks, including both data uploads to the back office and remotely initiated software maintenance activities, enabling the elimination of expensive cell modem connections and costly field maintenance visits.

• Contractual adjustments are being finalized to accommodate the current tariff environment between the United States and India. This change allows Ondas to commence the production of radio boards destined to the Indian market with first commercial deliveries in early 2026.

Markus Nottelmann, Chief Executive Officer of Ondas Networks, commented, “We are encouraged by the broadening industry acceptance of dot16 across all AAR-owned spectrum bands, and especially by the enthusiasm from multiple Class 1 railroads for the opportunities emerging in the 160 MHz network. The Proof-of-Concept programs we have co-designed with our railroad partners—scheduled to launch on three separate properties in Q4 2025 and early 2026—represent important milestones that we expect will lead to full productization and commercialization in 2026.”

“As we continue to expand the ecosystem of dot16-enabled third-party applications, we remain focused on delivering near-term value through our existing product lines,” Nottelmann continued. “We are on track to deliver new Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement System radios for the Northeast Corridor and next-generation Head-of-Train systems for the Indian market in Q4 2025. These efforts reflect our commitment to execution and customer success while positioning Ondas Networks at the center of next-generation rail communications and safety systems.”

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

Ondas reported revenues of $10.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, a 582% increase from $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2024. This significant increase was primarily driven by ongoing deliveries of Iron Drone and Optimus systems under contracts with military and public safety customers and revenue from the recent Apeiro Motion acquisition.

Gross profit rose to $2.6 million compared to $0.05 million in the third quarter of 2024. This resulted in a gross profit margin of 26% in the third quarter of 2025 versus 3% in the third quarter of 2024. This improvement is the result of increased revenues absorbing more of the fixed operations costs. Gross margins are expected to fluctuate on a quarter-to-quarter basis depending on the mix of revenue.

Operating expenses increased by $9.4 million to $18.1 million, up from $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. Approximately $5.0 million of the increase relates to non-cash stock compensation expenses. Approximately $4.4 million of the increase relates to cash operating expense due to increased payroll costs to build out the OAS and corporate management teams supporting the expected continued scaling of business operations and revenue growth, as well as for legal and other professional services related to our acquisition program and other strategic initiatives.

A reconciliation of cash operating expenses, a non-GAAP measure, is provided in the attached financial tables.

Operating loss was $15.5 million, compared to $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to the increase in operating expenses partially offset by the increased gross profit.

Net loss was $7.5 million, compared to $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2024, which included an increase of $2.0 million in interest and dividend income from the increased cash balance, as well as a $6.9 million unrealized gain on minority equity investments made during the third quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $8.8 million, compared to $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is provided in the attached financial tables.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Ondas ended the third quarter of 2025 with $433.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, compared to $30.0 million as of December 31, 2024. Pro forma cash balances were approximately $840.4 million, adjusted for the $407.0 million in net proceeds raised in an equity offering on October 7, 2025 and before cash used for operations and to finance acquisitions and investments in Q4 2025.

Cash flows from financing activities in the nine-months ended September 30, 2025 was $448.2 million, were provided through various equity offerings, as well as through the exercise of warrants and options. Cash used in investing activities was $18.7 million. Cash used in operating activities was $26.0 million in the current period compared to $25.4 million in the first nine months of 2024.

Convertible debt outstanding, net of issuance costs, was $9.5 million as of September 30, 2025, a significant decrease from $52.7 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was driven by the conversion of all of the holding-company convertible debt into equity. The remaining convertible debt is convertible into shares of subsidiary companies.

As a result of the financing activities and the debt conversions, total shareholders' equity increased to $487.2 million as of September 30, 2025, an increase of $470.6 million from $16.6 million as of December 31, 2024.

Operational and Financial Outlook

The Company continues to experience strong growth in 2025 and now expects to generate revenue of at least $36 million for the year, an increase from the prior target of at least $25 million. This new revenue target reflects continued strong performance of Ondas’ core OAS business and the addition of newly acquired businesses since the beginning of the second quarter of 2025. This outlook is supported by results to date and the $23.3 million in consolidated backlog at the end of Q3 2025, as well as visibility on expected production and delivery schedules with customers. Revenue expectations for Ondas Networks are modest given the delayed ramp in network deployments from the Class I Railroads. The Company expects to end the year with record backlog positioning Ondas for continued strong growth into 2026. The Company has established a preliminary revenue target of at least $110 million for 2026.

Bookings and revenue growth are expected to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter given the variability around both expected orders associated with program expansion with existing customers, as well as the timing of the addition of new customers at OAS, and the timing of rail network buildouts for Ondas Networks.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), we provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and cash operating expenses, the non-GAAP financial measures, contained in this press release to the most directly comparable measures under GAAP, which reconciliations are set forth in the tables below.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and cash operating expenses facilitate analysis of our ongoing business operations because such measures exclude items that may not be reflective of, or are unrelated to, the Company's core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying businesses. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and cash operating expenses differently, and therefore our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and cash operating expenses should only be used as supplemental measures of our operating performance.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA improves comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest and financing expenses), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax impacts and other adjustments as set out in the table below, which management has determined are not reflective of core operating activities and thereby assist investors with assessing trends in our underlying businesses.

We believe that cash operating expenses improve comparability from period to period by removing the impact of depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation as set out in the tables below, which management has determined are not reflective of core operating expenses and thereby assist investor with assessing trend in our underlying business.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and cash operating expenses in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and evaluating the Company's ongoing performance.
