Redwire Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results, Achieves Top End of 2025 Revenue Guidance Range with Record Contracted Backlog

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW, “Redwire” or the “Company”), a global leader in space and defense technology solutions, today announced results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

“2025 marked the transformation of Redwire into an integrated, multi-domain space and defense tech company. This evolution is reflected in our new structure, which we believe will enable us to maintain strong positioning and continue our growth trajectory across both established and rapidly emerging domains,” stated Peter Cannito, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Redwire. “With continued acceleration in contract awards during the fourth quarter of 2025 and confidence provided by our record Backlog1 of $411.2 million, we are entering 2026 with strong momentum.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Highlights

  • Strengthened leadership in Very Low Earth Orbit (“VLEO”) with the award of a $44 million phase 2 contract to advance the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Otter mission during the fourth quarter of 2025, which leverages Redwire’s SabreSat.
  • Entered into an eight-figure agreement with The Exploration Company (“TEC”) during the fourth quarter of 2025 to provide two International Berthing and Docking Mechanisms (“IBDM”) to support autonomous rendezvous and docking capabilities for TEC’s Nyx spacecraft.
  • During 2025, launched 14 PIL-BOXes, studying 18 unique molecules, to the International Space Station (“ISS”); as of December 31, 2025, Redwire had eleven active payload facilities on the ISS.
  • Completed acquisition of Edge Autonomy, a leading provider of field-proven uncrewed aerial systems (“UAS”) on June 13, 2025.
  • Delivered more than 100 Stalker/Penguin UAS in 7 countries around the world subsequent to the Edge Autonomy acquisition, including the U.S. Army (directly and via the Long Range Reconnaissance (“LRR”) program), U.S. Marine Corps, and NATO and other allied nations.
  • During the fourth quarter of 2025, opened a new 85,000 square foot facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan to increase production of critical fuel cells to meet growing demand, reflecting a key investment in a domestic, vertical integration strategy for Stalker UAS production.
  • Revenues increased 10.3% year-over-year to $335.4 million for full year 2025 and increased 56.4% year-over-year to $108.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025.
  • Meaningful sequential and year-over-year increase in Book-to-Bill1 ratio on both an annual and quarterly basis to 1.32 as of full year 2025 and 1.52 as of the fourth quarter of 2025.
  • Ended full year 2025 with total liquidity2 of $130.2 million, a 103.2% increase over the end of 2024.
  • Net Loss increased by $112.2 million year-over-year to $(226.6) million for full year 2025 and increased by $18.3 million year-over-year to $(85.5) million for the fourth quarter of 2025, both of which include the impact of more than $130 million and $40 million, respectively, in non-recurring activity.
  • Adjusted EBITDA3 decreased by $49.5 million year-over-year to $(50.3) million for full year 2025 and decreased by $8.9 million year-over-year to $(18.1) million for the fourth quarter of 2025.

2026 Forecast

  • For the full year ended December 31, 2026, Redwire is forecasting revenues of $450 million to $500 million.

“During the fourth quarter of 2025, we used proceeds from an efficient At-The-Market (“ATM”) program to repay $105.5 million of outstanding debt and in February 2026, we refinanced our remaining credit agreement. As a result of these proactive steps and additional debt repayment earlier in 2025, we have significantly strengthened our balance sheet and simplified our capital structure, with an estimated total annualized interest savings of over $17 million,” said Chris Edmunds, Chief Financial Officer of Redwire. “Our financial results in the fourth quarter of 2025 reflect substantial negative impact from EAC adjustments that were largely related to programs in the development stage, and as we head into 2026, our focus remains on transitioning these programs into production, which we expect will drive gross margin improvement.”

1 Backlog and Book-to-Bill are key business measures. Please refer to “Key Performance Indicators” and the tables included in this press release for additional information.

2 Total liquidity of $130.2 million as of December 31, 2025 is comprised of $94.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $35.0 million in available borrowings from our existing credit facilities, and $0.7 million in restricted cash.

3 Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of results under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Information” and the reconciliation tables included in this press release for details regarding this Non-GAAP measure.

Use of Projections

The financial outlook and projections, estimates and targets in this press release are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainty and contingencies, many of which are beyond Redwire’s control. Redwire’s independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the financial projections for purposes of inclusion in this press release, and, accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purposes of this press release. While all financial projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, Redwire believes that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expected or target results for the Company are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the financial projections, estimates and targets. The inclusion of financial projections, estimates and targets in this press release should not be regarded as an indication that Redwire, or its representatives, considered or consider the financial projections, estimates or targets to be a reliable prediction of future events. Further, inclusion of the prospective financial information in this press release should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Readers are cautioned that the statements contained in this press release regarding expectations of our performance or other matters that may affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition are “forward-looking statements” as defined by the “safe harbor” provisions in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included or incorporated in this press release, including statements regarding our strategy, financial projections, including the prospective financial information provided in this press release, financial position, funding for continued operations, cash reserves, liquidity, projected costs, plans, projects, awards and contracts, and objectives of management, among others, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “believe,” “target,” “continued,” “project,” “plan,” “opportunity,” “estimate,” “potential,” “predict,” “demonstrates,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “intend,” “shall,” “possible,” “forecast,” “trends,” “contemplate,” “would,” “approximately,” “likely,” “outlook,” “schedule,” “pipeline,” and variations of these terms or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control.

These factors and circumstances include, but are not limited to (1) risks associated with economic uncertainty, including high inflation, market volatility, and the potential worsening of macro-economic conditions; (2) geopolitical and macroeconomic events; (3) tariffs impacting demand for our products; (4) the failure of financial institutions or transactional counterparties; (5) our evolving industry, limited operating history and history of losses makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter; (6) the inability to successfully integrate recently completed and future acquisitions, including the recent acquisition of Edge Autonomy, or successfully select, execute or integrate future acquisitions into the business and realize the anticipated benefits; (7) the development and continued refinement of many of Redwire’s proprietary technologies, products and service offerings; (8) competition with new or existing companies; (9) a limited number of customers make up a high percentage of our revenue; (10) potential litigation arising from time to time; (11) natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts, or other natural or man-made catastrophic events; (12) adverse publicity stemming from any incident or perceived risk involving Redwire or our competitors; (13) incurring significant risks and uncertainties not covered by insurance or indemnity; (14) failure to respond to industry cycles in terms of our cost structure, manufacturing capacity, and/or personnel needs; (15) customers unwillingness to adopt our core offerings; (16) delays in the development, design, engineering and manufacturing of our core offerings; (17) unsatisfactory performance of our core offerings; (18) impacts to our cash flows caused by our mix of fixed-price, cost-plus and time-and-material type contracts; (19) incurrence of expenditures prior to final receipt of a contract; (20) failure of new offerings and technologies to materialize; (21) the inability to convert orders in backlog into revenue; (22) the inability to properly manage the use of artificial intelligence in our business; (23) reliance on third-party launch vehicles to launch our spacecraft and customer payloads; (24) risk of an accident on launch or during a journey into space; (25) Redwire’s inability to meet expected financial results; (26) cyber-attacks and other security threats and disruptions; (27) risks resulting from broader geographic operations; (28) impairment of goodwill; (29) inability to use net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes; (30) changes to the U.S. government’s budget deficit and the national debt, as well as any inability of the U.S. government to complete its budget process for any government fiscal year; (31) dependence on U.S. government contracts; (32) changes to our facility security clearance; (33) Redwire is subject to stringent U.S. economic sanctions, and trade control laws and regulations, as well as risks related to doing business in other countries; (34) failure to adequately protect our intellectual property rights; (35) failure to obtain necessary additional funding; (36) the fact that AE Industrial Partners and its affiliates have significant influence over us, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions; (37) the fact that provisions in our Certificate of Designation with respect to our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may delay or prevent our acquisition by a third party, which could also reduce the market price of our capital stock; (38) the fact that our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has rights, preferences and privileges that are not held by, and are preferential to, the rights of holders of our other outstanding capital stock; (39) the possibility of sales of a substantial amount of our common stock by our current stockholders; (40) volatility in the trading price of our common stock; (41) identification of material weaknesses of other deficiencies or failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and (42) other risks and uncertainties described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and those indicated from time to time in other documents filed or to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Redwire. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. If underlying assumptions to forward-looking statements prove inaccurate, or if known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this press release, and Redwire disclaims any intention or obligation, other than imposed by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Persons reading this press release are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow.

Non-GAAP financial measures are used to supplement the financial information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We encourage investors and stockholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, transaction expenses, acquisition integration costs, acquisition earnout costs, purchase accounting fair value adjustments related to deferred revenue and inventory, severance costs, capital market and advisory fees, disposal of long-lived assets, litigation-related expenses, equity-based compensation, committed equity facility transaction costs, debt financing costs and extinguishment losses, gains on sale of joint ventures, net of costs incurred, and warrant liability change in fair value adjustments.

Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as revenues less cost of sales as computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in cost of sales and Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations as the calculation of these measures excludes the impact of certain non-recurring charges. Management believes that by using Adjusted Gross Margin in conjunction with GAAP Gross Margin, investors will get a more complete view of what management considers to be the Company’s core operating performance and allow for comparison of this measure when compared to those of prior periods.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is 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.

Free Cash Flow is computed as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures.

We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. We use Free Cash Flow as an indicator of liquidity to evaluate our period-over-period operating cash generation that will be used to service our debt, and can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities and/or acquisitions, among other uses. Free Cash Flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance, and it should not be inferred that the entire amount of Free Cash Flow is available for discretionary expenditures, since we have mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from this measure.

Key Performance Indicators

Management uses Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) to assess the financial performance of the Company, monitor relevant trends and support financial, operational and strategic decision-making. Management frequently monitors and evaluates KPIs against internal targets, core business objectives as well as industry peers and may, on occasion, change the mix or calculation of KPIs to better align with the business, its operating environment, standard industry metrics or other considerations. If the Company changes the method by which it calculates or presents a KPI, prior period disclosures are recast to conform to current presentation.

Book-to-bill is the ratio of total contracts awarded to revenues recorded in the same period. The contracts awarded balance includes firm contract orders, including time-and-material contracts, awarded during the period and does not include unexercised contract options or potential orders under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts. Although the contracts awarded balance reflects firm contract orders, terminations, amendments, or contract cancellations may occur which could result in a reduction to the contracts awarded balance.

We view book-to-bill as an indicator of future revenue growth potential. To drive future revenue growth, our goal is for the level of contracts awarded in a given period to exceed the revenue recorded, thus yielding a book-to-bill ratio greater than 1.0.

Our book-to-bill ratio was 1.52 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 0.51 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, none of the contracts awarded balance includes acquired contract value.

Our book-to-bill ratio was 1.32 for the Last Twelve Months (“LTM”) ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 0.76 for the LTM ended December 31, 2024. For the LTM ended December 31, 2025, contracts awarded includes $73.7 million of acquired contract value from the Edge Autonomy acquisition, which was completed in the second quarter of 2025. For the LTM ended December 31, 2024, contracts awarded includes $21.9 million of acquired contract value from the Hera Systems acquisition, which was completed in the third quarter of 2024.

Backlog

The following table presents our contracted backlog as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and related activity for the years ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

We view growth in backlog as a key measure of our business growth. Contracted backlog represents the estimated dollar value of firm funded executed contracts for which work has not been performed (also known as the remaining performance obligations on a contract). Our contracted backlog includes $81.0 million and $16.7 million in remaining contract value from contracts which recognize revenue at a point in time as of December 31, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024, respectively.

Organic backlog change excludes backlog activity from acquisitions for the first four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition date. Contracted backlog activity for the first four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition date is included in acquisition-related contracted backlog change. After the completion of four fiscal quarters, acquired entities are treated as organic for current and comparable historical periods.

Organic contract value includes the remaining contract value as of January 1 not yet recognized as revenue and additional orders awarded during the period for those entities treated as organic. Acquisition-related contract value includes remaining contract value as of the acquisition date not yet recognized as revenue and additional orders awarded during the period for entities not treated as organic. Organic revenue includes revenue earned during the period presented for those entities treated as organic, while acquisition-related revenue includes the same for all other entities, excluding any pre-acquisition revenue earned during the period. The acquisition-related backlog activity presented in the table above is related to the Edge Autonomy acquisition completed during the second quarter of 2025.

Although contracted backlog reflects business associated with contracts that are considered to be firm, terminations, amendments or contract cancellations may occur, which could result in a reduction in our total backlog. In addition, some of our multi-year contracts are subject to annual funding. Management expects all amounts reflected in contracted backlog to ultimately be fully funded. Contracted backlog from foreign operations was $150.0 million and $70.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts are primarily subject to foreign exchange rate translations from euros to U.S. dollars that could cause the remaining backlog balance to fluctuate with the foreign exchange rate at the time of measurement.
