I will now turn the call over to Swarmer's President and U.S. CEO, Alex Fink, for his comments. Sir, please proceed. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:01:47Thank you. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us on Swarmer's first earnings call as a public company. The first quarter of 2026 marked a major milestone for Swarmer. We completed our initial public offering, strengthened our leadership team, and put in place the resources needed to support the next phase of our growth. More importantly, we continue to build momentum around what we believe is a fundamental shift in how unmanned systems are deployed and operated globally. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:02:14At a high level, the global defense landscape is undergoing a structural transformation. Advances in artificial intelligence, autonomy, and low-cost unmanned platforms are shaping how modern conflicts are fought. As these systems proliferate by the millions, the limiting factor is no longer hardware. It is the ability to coordinate, control, and scale those systems effectively. That is the problem Swarmer is built to solve. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:02:38There are three core challenges that drone operators face today. First, coordinating large numbers of unmanned systems across multiple domains. Second, enabling those systems to make reliable decisions in real time, especially in contested environments. Third, maintaining performance when communications are degraded or denied. Swarmer operates at what we describe as the intelligence layer. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:03:02This is the software that allows large numbers of unmanned systems to function as a cohesive and resilient force. We are not the drone manufacturer, and we are not dependent on any single hardware platform. Our goal is to enable interoperability and scalable autonomy across a wide range of systems. What differentiates Swarmer is that our software is not theoretical. It is built and validated in real-world operational environments. Since April of 2024, our platform has been used in more than 100,000 combat missions in Ukraine across nearly 50 military units. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:03:36These missions generate continuous streams of telemetry, sensor data, and operational feedback. We use that data to refine performance, improve resilience, and accelerate learning across the platform. This compounding feedback loop is extremely difficult to replicate outside of real-world conditions, and it is a key driver of our long-term advantage. From an operator's perspective, the outcome is straightforward. One operator can effectively control large numbers of autonomous systems in real time. That is what enables scale. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:04:07As deployment volumes continue to rise globally, that capability becomes increasingly essential. During the first quarter, we continued to see growing engagement from manufacturers developing next-generation unmanned platforms. These programs are increasingly designed for higher volumes, lower-cost systems, and some distributed operating models. That shift aligns directly with Swarmer's architecture and capabilities. Before going further, I want to briefly address our reported financial results because context here is important. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:04:39As with many platform software companies operating alongside hardware manufacturers, revenue recognition in our business is tied to production and deployment timelines rather than contract execution. Our revenue model is generally tied to customer deployment and activation timelines. As a result, reported revenue may fluctuate between periods based on production and fielding schedules, even as underlying platform adoption and customer engagement continue to expand. That dynamic creates timing gap in reported results, but it also reflects our shift towards significantly larger deployment opportunities over time. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:05:14The more relevant indicator for our business is the scale potential of the platforms we support rather than short-term revenue. At the same time, the market itself is evolving quickly. Earlier in our life cycle, a portion of our revenue was tied to legacy platform types that have become less relevant as operational requirements have changed. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:05:32Over the past year, we have deliberately shifted our focus towards next-generation higher volume platforms, including first-person view class systems and emerging interceptor architectures. Newer programs are moving through development and early production, we are finding the right partners in these spaces. This morning, we announced that we are awarded a $2.86 million contract from Meta Bureau, a Kyiv-based drone producer. Under the contract, our battle-proven technology will be used on board SkyKnight quadcopter bombers and other UAVs. The contract also includes optional upgrades that the customer can install, which would add an additional $10.4 million if fully executed. These are the types of opportunities that we are beginning to realize, we are ensuring that we are positioning the business to capture them. We are also expanding our geographic footprint. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:06:21While we have historically been focused on Eastern Europe because of the strong demand, last week we announced our expansion into Japan with support from Rakuten Group. Rakuten is one of the largest and best-known companies in Japan, and it agreed to sign on as our exclusive distributor in this market. This marks an important step in extending Swarmer's presence into one of the world's most advanced robotics and technology markets. Through this collaboration, we're introducing our autonomy platform into Japan's unmanned systems ecosystem and supporting a range of potential applications spanning defense, infrastructure, and industrial use cases. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:06:56In connection with that effort, we recently completed the successful demonstration of an autonomous seek-and-hit operation using attritable eight-inch drones. This type of validation is an important early step as we engage with partners and customers in the region. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:07:11Taken together, these developments highlight the growing demand for our platform and the operating leverage embedded in our model. We are not only converting opportunities into initial deployments, but also structuring agreements with meaningful expansion potential while simultaneously opening new strategic markets. On the product side, our recently announced collaboration with HIMERA strengthens the performance and resilience of our autonomy platform. By integrating their battlefield-proven jam-resistant communications into our next-generation autonomy stack, we're embedding a reliable backbone for multi-vehicle operations in contested environments. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:07:47More broadly, this reflects our strategy to unify sensing, communication, coordination, and execution into a single interoperable system, making it easier for customers to deploy scalable, reliable autonomy across air, ground, and maritime domains. We also announced yesterday that we are developing a deployable end-to-end drone interceptor kit. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:08:08This is an important step in our product development as we are seeing an urgent demand for rapid interceptor solutions across the globe. As part of this initiative, we are partnering with X-Drone, NORDA Dynamics, and Kara Dag Technologies. X-Drone has delivered more than 70,000 drone systems to the frontlines in Ukraine and has battle-proven designs of both drones and interceptors. NORDA provides terminal guidance capabilities, and their software has been used on more than 60,000 drones. Kara Dag provides sensing technology for incoming threats and has also delivered thousands of systems to the frontlines already. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:08:43Swarmer's role is to integrate these components into a unified autonomy and coordination layer. We believe that partial solutions, like a radar by itself or an interceptor by itself, are not the right way to protect critical infrastructure at scale. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:08:56We are working to unify these battle-tested technologies to create an end-to-end solution that can be deployed quickly. We believe that Swarmer's platform can be the glue that binds these parts together. Put together, we believe that our approach to all of these partnerships will allow Swarmer to succeed in the long run and be the de facto embedded software across multiple programs and platform types. From an operational standpoint, the first quarter was a period of intentional investment. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:09:24We incurred material one-time costs associated with our public listing, and we increased spending in engineering and product development as well. These investments are focused on expanding our ability to integrate with different hardware platforms and operate effectively across a broader set of environments and mission profiles. We also recently strengthened our leadership team with the addition of Mykhailo Nestor as our Chief Product Officer. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:09:48Mykhailo Nestor brings meaningful experience scaling complex technology platforms, most recently at Kyivstar Group Ltd., which is a part of the global telecommunication group VEON Ltd. During his tenure, he built and led the product organization responsible for large-scale digital platforms and services used by millions of customers. He also helped establish Kyivstar.Tech, a dedicated technology company focused on modern digital product development. We look forward to having him on board and know that he will play an important role in advancing our product roadmap. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:10:21As we look ahead, we believe that due to the long procurement cycle typical of the defense sector, revenue is a trailing indicator. Internally, we'll monitor several indicators of progress, including platform integrations, partner integrations, adoption within programs, and progression from development towards production and deployment. We look forward to sharing updates on these when we can. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:10:42Looking ahead, our focus remains on expanding adoption, deepening integration with leading partners, and supporting programs as they move into larger-scale fielding. As these initiatives mature, we believe Swarmer can become a foundational software layer for autonomous and collaborative systems and support long-term growth as deployment volumes increase across multiple domains. We are still early on that journey, but we are encouraged by the momentum we are seeing and the opportunities ahead. With that, I will turn it over to Brooks to walk through the financials in more detail. Brooks EnsignCFO at Swarmer00:11:14Thank you, Alex, and good morning, everyone. I will now review our results for the quarter. Revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $20,325 compared to $110,704 in Q1 2025. The decline primarily reflects the wind-down of residual service-related deferred revenue associated with the company's historically largest customer in Ukraine. The company does not expect future revenue from this customer and is focused on expanding engagements with higher volume customers in Ukraine and international markets. The company's revenue model is generally tied to customer deployment and software activation timelines. Revenue associated with software licenses is typically recognized upon activation, while a portion related to ongoing support and service obligations is deferred and recognized over the applicable service period. Brooks EnsignCFO at Swarmer00:12:05Reported revenue in any given period may fluctuate based on customer production and deployment schedules as programs transition from development into broader fielding. Gross loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $19,599, compared to gross profit of $65,162 in the first quarter of 2025, driven primarily by lower revenue during the period. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $4.5 million, compared to $800,000 in Q1 2025. As Alex mentioned, operating expenses increased primarily due to higher consulting and professional services, expenses associated with becoming a public company, together with increased investment in engineering and product development initiatives. Brooks EnsignCFO at Swarmer00:12:55While certain public company transition costs incurred during the quarter were non-recurring, we expect to continue investing in engineering, product development, and strategic growth initiatives as we scale the business. Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $4.5 million, compared to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher OpEx. Turning to the balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents at March 31st, 2026 totaled $23.5 million, compared to $9.3 million at December 31, 2025. Brooks EnsignCFO at Swarmer00:13:33The increase primarily reflects gross proceeds of approximately $17.3 million from the company's IPO, together with approximately $3.5 million in gross proceeds from the sale of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock. With that, we'll turn the call over to the operator for questions. Operator? Operator00:13:54Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. The confirmation tone indicates your line is in the question queue. You may press star to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star key. One moment, please. While we call for your question. Our first question has come from the line of Alex Fuhrman with Lucid Capital Markets. Please proceed with your questions. Alex FuhrmanAnalyst at Lucid Capital Markets00:14:28Great. Thanks very much for taking my question. Congratulations on the successful listing recently. Wanted to ask about the recently announced SkyKnight deal. That sounds like a big growth opportunity for Swarmer. Specifically, can you help me understand? It looks like about a $2.9 million reward for the 16,000 software licenses. Then an option to upgrade the licenses for north of $10 million. That's almost a five times increase in revenue if these licenses are upgraded. Can you help us understand what that upgrade would entail and what needs to happen in order for that upgrade to be exercised? Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:15:15Sure. The customer chose to install our Full Autonomy Stack, the Swarmer platform, on a portion of their drones and our base operating system, Swarmer OS, on everything else that they manufacture. They have the option later on, even after those drones are deployed, to upgrade any drone with Swarmer OS on it to the Full Autonomy Stack. The Swarmer OS includes basic functionality like proper encryption, security, secure messaging between the drones, video streaming to multiple viewers, et cetera, but it does not include any autonomy. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:15:52The autonomy, they are starting out with putting it on a portion of the drones, on specific models, but they have the option to enable it everywhere, essentially, once their end user sees it in action and chooses to have it in every single drone deployed. Alex FuhrmanAnalyst at Lucid Capital Markets00:16:11Okay. That's really helpful. Appreciate that. Can you talk about the recent announcement, looks like just the other day, to partner with some other firms to build a drone interceptor system? That seems like something that's obviously very high in demand right now. What kind of a timeline, you know, do you expect this collaboration to take? You know, when could that start to actually be, you know, becoming deployable? Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:16:45Let me start from the demand side, because we're absolutely seeing demand from multiple places around the globe. The problem that we're seeing is that all the countries that need site defense solutions, that need interceptors, probably wouldn't be able to actually use an interceptor if they bought one. An interception process requires multiple steps. You need to be able to detect the threat. You need to be able to coordinate that information and transfer information about the target and where it's heading to the interception system. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:17:17If you don't have interceptor pilots, which most countries around the world don't, you need to actually have a software system that guides that interceptor to the target and tracks it, and actually terminates it. All of these things need to work in concert with each other, and you need to have this end-to-end solution. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:17:33Ukraine right now has these partial solutions that are integrated manually by highly competent, highly trained, very experienced people. Most places don't have that. We think that for Ukraine as well, it would be useful, but for every other country around the world, it would be necessary to just provide a solution that works end-to-end, that starts with a detection method and ends with the target being terminated, with all the steps in between being coordinated with a single software stack. That's what we're building here to enable that and to be able to protect critical infrastructure around the West and around all the countries that we want to help. For that to happen, we need to coordinate multiple players together. That's why you're seeing the detection company that we are working with, Karadag. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:18:22That's why you're seeing the interceptor company itself, X-Drone, and NORDA, which provides terminal guidance for these, some of these scenarios. The timeline, we will have to obviously work with these partners to see the complexity of the integration. My personal estimate would be that it's a matter of somewhere between two-four months, but it could be more complex or simpler depending on what's under the hood and depending on how initial tests go. Obviously, when it comes to deploying something like this, you need to test it. You cannot just look at the software and estimate the integration. We will update everyone as this progresses regarding the actual timeline when we have a more precise estimate. Alex FuhrmanAnalyst at Lucid Capital Markets00:19:10Okay. That's really exciting. Thanks for the update on that. Lastly, you know, you've got more than $20 million of cash on the balance sheet now following the IPO. You know, not a ton of OpEx here. How do you prioritize investing in M&A versus CapEx versus potentially adding more headcount? Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:19:33Our goal was always to move as fast as possible and to create tools that help the warfighter and to have the greatest impact that we can on the battlefield to help the good guys win. Whatever allows us to move faster and achieve these goals is probably what's going to get the priority. I think that primarily OpEx would be where we would be investing in hiring more engineers, especially on the integration side, to work with more hardware. But it's all of the above. We need to move fast. We need to get this thing to work. We need it to be useful for the warfighter, and we need it to be deployed and scaled as quickly as possible. Alex FuhrmanAnalyst at Lucid Capital Markets00:20:13Okay. Appreciate the insight. Thank you very much. Operator00:20:18Thank you. Our next question has come from the line of Michael Latimore with Northland Capital Markets. Please proceed with your questions. Michael LatimoreAnalyst at Northland Capital Markets00:20:25All right. Yeah. Good morning. Congrats on being public here. You know, as you ramp over time, I assume this is a software kind of model, we should think of gross margins being, you know, 70% plus as you scale over time. Is that a fair assessment? Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:20:44Brooks, do you wanna take this one? Brooks EnsignCFO at Swarmer00:20:47Yes. Certainly, that is a fair assessment. We have some service obligations for the revenue and some implementation. Yes, that is a reasonable estimate. Michael LatimoreAnalyst at Northland Capital Markets00:21:01Okay. How do you price this? Is it like a percentage of overall system value, or like just some more color on how price, how you'd price it would be great. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:21:13It is to some extent a work in progress because the market itself is evolving. We chose a per-unit licensing model because we see the volume of units being manufactured in this market going up exponentially. We think that is the best way to scale along with the market. What is the price per unit? That is definitely. It depends on the amount of effort of integrating this particular class of device. It depends on how scalable that class of device is. For higher volume manufacturing, perhaps the prices could be slightly lower. For something that is manufactured in very low volume overall, like very large fixed-wing drones, for example, the prices need to be higher because it's a large integration investment that only gets amortized over a small number of units. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:22:04It would be ideal if we could always just charge a certain percentage of the bill of materials, but that is likely unrealistic. We will try to figure out what pricing makes sense on a case-by-case basis. Michael LatimoreAnalyst at Northland Capital Markets00:22:18Got it. You've had a number of nice customer and partner announcements. I guess, are those the main ones that should be generating revenue here, or do you have several that are unannounced? I'm guessing there's plenty of companies that don't want to announce projects ahead of time. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:22:35Yeah. There are certainly companies that don't want to announce projects ahead of time. As I mentioned in the introduction to this, the announcements and the revenue tend to be a trailing indicator. The work that you're seeing out in public right now typically reflects work that we've done somewhere between three and nine months ago. In many cases, the pipeline is quite deep, and we're looking forward to sharing more information when we're able to about what's next. Michael LatimoreAnalyst at Northland Capital Markets00:23:04Great. Just last one from me. You know, impressive that you guys have had 100,000 combat missions. Can you give a little bit more detail on those missions? Maybe, you know, how many drones were in operation per mission? Were they kinetic strikes or surveillance? Yeah, just one more color on that would be great. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:23:25We need to be somewhat careful and only expose things that we are authorized to expose. I think that we've shared previously that the first combat mission started in April 2024. Initially, it was relatively simple operations like multi-drone reconnaissance or mining operations. It progressed to bombing operations with multiple drones. In Ukraine, typically, those were relatively small groups. Started with three, grew to somewhere between eight and 10, but these were relatively large drones early on. The types of autonomy that were run in these missions also varied. Early on, we had a lot of engagements that were semi-autonomous, where we would control the drones on the way to the target area, but then a pilot would control the drones for the actual moment where they fired the shot. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:24:18Then we would control the drone on the way back. Later on, it progressed to more autonomous missions where we would control recon drones to send a video feed of the target area back to an operator. The operator would paint the target on the screen, and then we would control the attack drones that engage the target. In fact, we would also decide which attack drone takes which target. That was not a decision for the operator to make. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:24:42That was a decision for the drones that are in the target. Yeah, we would determine which attack drone engages which target because that information is more available in the target area and better made based on who has the highest probability of hitting it. These are the missions that are primarily running now, but we are progressing along with the hardware. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:25:05When we integrate new hardware, new types of mission templates become available. Michael LatimoreAnalyst at Northland Capital Markets00:25:12Okay, great. Thanks very much. Operator00:25:16Thank you so much. We have reached the end of our question-and-answer session. I'd like to turn the call back over to Alex Fink for any closing comments. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:25:25Thanks, everyone, for joining us today. As a reminder, you can find out more about our company, receive additional updates, and learn about upcoming events from the investor relations section of our website. We look forward to updating you on the exciting progress we are making in the defense and technology market. Finally, I'd like to thank our employees, partners, and shareholders for their continued support. Operator. Operator00:25:49Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. This does now conclude today's teleconference. We appreciate your participation. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Enjoy the rest of your day.Read moreParticipantsExecutivesAlex FinkPresident and US CEOBrooks EnsignCFOAnalystsAlex FuhrmanAnalyst at Lucid Capital MarketsMichael LatimoreAnalyst at Northland Capital MarketsPowered by Earnings DocumentsPress Release(8-K)Quarterly report(10-Q) Swarmer Earnings HeadlinesSwarmer wins $2.86M contract to supply swarming software6 minutes ago | msn.comSwarmer Wins Meta Bureau Drone Deal As Stock Trades Below Targets6 minutes ago | finance.yahoo.comMillionaire warns: Move your money before May 15Larry Benedict - the trader who generated $274 million in client profits and beat the S&P 500 by 18 times in 2025 - says Trump's installation of a new Federal Reserve chair is triggering the most significant shift in U.S. markets in nearly 20 years.

Email Address About SwarmerWe are launching the future of autonomous warfare through combat-proven software that enables military forces to deploy and coordinate drone swarms at significant scale. While hardware manufacturers compete and as the go-to in an increasingly commoditized market, we seek to establish ourself as a critical software layer operating system for autonomous swarm operations positioning us to capture increased value as the global military drone market experiences growth projected to exceed 12% compound annual growth through 2030. Combat-Proven Experience Through Operational Deployment Unlike competitors developing capabilities in peacetime laboratory environments, we have maintained continuous combat deployment in Ukraine since 2023, executing over 100,000 combat missions flown by drones that were equipped with our Trident Embedded Drone Operating System (Trident OS), operating at varying degrees of autonomy depending on each end-user’s requirements and tactics. This operational deployment has generated a key strategic asset: a comprehensive operational dataset that creates a powerful reinforcement loop compounding over time whereby better data enables better-performing systems, better-performing systems receive broader deployment, broader deployment generates more data. Competitors without similar operational access face fundamental limitations in achieving comparable autonomous capability maturity regardless of their engineering resources. This data advantage would require competitors to gain similar operational deployment to replicate, with such deployment opportunities being inherently limited and difficult to obtain. Our compressed iteration cycles in active combat enable capability enhancement velocities that we believe are unachievable by traditional defense contractors. Where we believe that our competitors require months or years to develop their technology, we identify capability gaps, develop solutions, deploy to operational units, and validate performance in actual combat missions within days. We believe this operational tempo gives us a competitive advantage and enables us to deliver customer-requested capabilities faster than our competitors. Architected to Capitalize on Favorable Industry Dynamics Our business model is specifically designed to capture value from structural transformation in the defense drone industry. As hardware manufacturing fragments with hundreds of new drone manufacturers emerging annually in recent years and hardware margins compress, we believe autonomous software is consolidating toward companies with substantial operational datasets. Our per-unit software licensing model creates highly attractive unit economics that improve as the market scales. Our software licensing fees remain stable per unit while our incremental cost to license additional units approaches zero, creating expanding gross margins as volume increases. As drone manufacturers face margin compression, we believe our software becomes an increasingly critical value differentiator, positioning us as a strategic partner able to help manufacturers defend margins and win competitive procurements. Vendor-Agnostic Platform Positioning for Market Capture We believe our vendor-agnostic architecture represents a fundamental strategic advantage, positioning us as a critical integration layer for the fragmenting hardware ecosystem. By designing our software to integrate with drones from any manufacturer, we partner with leading manufacturers. As hardware manufacturing fragments, military forces require interoperability across diverse platforms. Our vendor-agnostic approach positions us to benefit from the entire market’s growth rather than limiting ourselves to proprietary hardware platforms, while providing strategic resilience as we are not dependent on any single manufacturer’s success. Multi-Domain Expansion and Scaling Roadmap We have systematically expanded from unmanned aerial vehicles to multi-domain operations encompassing unmanned ground vehicles, unmanned surface vessels, and planned integration with missiles and guidance kits.

Operator00:01:04Additional information about factors that can cause actual results to differ is included in the company's earnings release issued today and in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors described in those filings. The company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that this conference call is being webcast, and a recording will be made available for replay on the company's investor relations website. In addition to the webcast, the company has posted a press release of the company's results, which could also be found on the investor relations website. I will now turn the call over to Swarmer's President and U.S. CEO, Alex Fink, for his comments. Sir, please proceed. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:01:47Thank you. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us on Swarmer's first earnings call as a public company. The first quarter of 2026 marked a major milestone for Swarmer. We completed our initial public offering, strengthened our leadership team, and put in place the resources needed to support the next phase of our growth. More importantly, we continue to build momentum around what we believe is a fundamental shift in how unmanned systems are deployed and operated globally. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:02:14At a high level, the global defense landscape is undergoing a structural transformation. Advances in artificial intelligence, autonomy, and low-cost unmanned platforms are shaping how modern conflicts are fought. As these systems proliferate by the millions, the limiting factor is no longer hardware. It is the ability to coordinate, control, and scale those systems effectively. That is the problem Swarmer is built to solve. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:02:38There are three core challenges that drone operators face today. First, coordinating large numbers of unmanned systems across multiple domains. Second, enabling those systems to make reliable decisions in real time, especially in contested environments. Third, maintaining performance when communications are degraded or denied. Swarmer operates at what we describe as the intelligence layer. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:03:02This is the software that allows large numbers of unmanned systems to function as a cohesive and resilient force. We are not the drone manufacturer, and we are not dependent on any single hardware platform. Our goal is to enable interoperability and scalable autonomy across a wide range of systems. What differentiates Swarmer is that our software is not theoretical. It is built and validated in real-world operational environments. Since April of 2024, our platform has been used in more than 100,000 combat missions in Ukraine across nearly 50 military units. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:03:36These missions generate continuous streams of telemetry, sensor data, and operational feedback. We use that data to refine performance, improve resilience, and accelerate learning across the platform. This compounding feedback loop is extremely difficult to replicate outside of real-world conditions, and it is a key driver of our long-term advantage. From an operator's perspective, the outcome is straightforward. One operator can effectively control large numbers of autonomous systems in real time. That is what enables scale. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:04:07As deployment volumes continue to rise globally, that capability becomes increasingly essential. During the first quarter, we continued to see growing engagement from manufacturers developing next-generation unmanned platforms. These programs are increasingly designed for higher volumes, lower-cost systems, and some distributed operating models. That shift aligns directly with Swarmer's architecture and capabilities. Before going further, I want to briefly address our reported financial results because context here is important. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:04:39As with many platform software companies operating alongside hardware manufacturers, revenue recognition in our business is tied to production and deployment timelines rather than contract execution. Our revenue model is generally tied to customer deployment and activation timelines. As a result, reported revenue may fluctuate between periods based on production and fielding schedules, even as underlying platform adoption and customer engagement continue to expand. That dynamic creates timing gap in reported results, but it also reflects our shift towards significantly larger deployment opportunities over time. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:05:14The more relevant indicator for our business is the scale potential of the platforms we support rather than short-term revenue. At the same time, the market itself is evolving quickly. Earlier in our life cycle, a portion of our revenue was tied to legacy platform types that have become less relevant as operational requirements have changed. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:05:32Over the past year, we have deliberately shifted our focus towards next-generation higher volume platforms, including first-person view class systems and emerging interceptor architectures. Newer programs are moving through development and early production, we are finding the right partners in these spaces. This morning, we announced that we are awarded a $2.86 million contract from Meta Bureau, a Kyiv-based drone producer. Under the contract, our battle-proven technology will be used on board SkyKnight quadcopter bombers and other UAVs. The contract also includes optional upgrades that the customer can install, which would add an additional $10.4 million if fully executed. These are the types of opportunities that we are beginning to realize, we are ensuring that we are positioning the business to capture them. We are also expanding our geographic footprint. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:06:21While we have historically been focused on Eastern Europe because of the strong demand, last week we announced our expansion into Japan with support from Rakuten Group. Rakuten is one of the largest and best-known companies in Japan, and it agreed to sign on as our exclusive distributor in this market. This marks an important step in extending Swarmer's presence into one of the world's most advanced robotics and technology markets. Through this collaboration, we're introducing our autonomy platform into Japan's unmanned systems ecosystem and supporting a range of potential applications spanning defense, infrastructure, and industrial use cases. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:06:56In connection with that effort, we recently completed the successful demonstration of an autonomous seek-and-hit operation using attritable eight-inch drones. This type of validation is an important early step as we engage with partners and customers in the region. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:07:11Taken together, these developments highlight the growing demand for our platform and the operating leverage embedded in our model. We are not only converting opportunities into initial deployments, but also structuring agreements with meaningful expansion potential while simultaneously opening new strategic markets. On the product side, our recently announced collaboration with HIMERA strengthens the performance and resilience of our autonomy platform. By integrating their battlefield-proven jam-resistant communications into our next-generation autonomy stack, we're embedding a reliable backbone for multi-vehicle operations in contested environments. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:07:47More broadly, this reflects our strategy to unify sensing, communication, coordination, and execution into a single interoperable system, making it easier for customers to deploy scalable, reliable autonomy across air, ground, and maritime domains. We also announced yesterday that we are developing a deployable end-to-end drone interceptor kit. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:08:08This is an important step in our product development as we are seeing an urgent demand for rapid interceptor solutions across the globe. As part of this initiative, we are partnering with X-Drone, NORDA Dynamics, and Kara Dag Technologies. X-Drone has delivered more than 70,000 drone systems to the frontlines in Ukraine and has battle-proven designs of both drones and interceptors. NORDA provides terminal guidance capabilities, and their software has been used on more than 60,000 drones. Kara Dag provides sensing technology for incoming threats and has also delivered thousands of systems to the frontlines already. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:08:43Swarmer's role is to integrate these components into a unified autonomy and coordination layer. We believe that partial solutions, like a radar by itself or an interceptor by itself, are not the right way to protect critical infrastructure at scale. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:08:56We are working to unify these battle-tested technologies to create an end-to-end solution that can be deployed quickly. We believe that Swarmer's platform can be the glue that binds these parts together. Put together, we believe that our approach to all of these partnerships will allow Swarmer to succeed in the long run and be the de facto embedded software across multiple programs and platform types. From an operational standpoint, the first quarter was a period of intentional investment. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:09:24We incurred material one-time costs associated with our public listing, and we increased spending in engineering and product development as well. These investments are focused on expanding our ability to integrate with different hardware platforms and operate effectively across a broader set of environments and mission profiles. We also recently strengthened our leadership team with the addition of Mykhailo Nestor as our Chief Product Officer. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:09:48Mykhailo Nestor brings meaningful experience scaling complex technology platforms, most recently at Kyivstar Group Ltd., which is a part of the global telecommunication group VEON Ltd. During his tenure, he built and led the product organization responsible for large-scale digital platforms and services used by millions of customers. He also helped establish Kyivstar.Tech, a dedicated technology company focused on modern digital product development. We look forward to having him on board and know that he will play an important role in advancing our product roadmap. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:10:21As we look ahead, we believe that due to the long procurement cycle typical of the defense sector, revenue is a trailing indicator. Internally, we'll monitor several indicators of progress, including platform integrations, partner integrations, adoption within programs, and progression from development towards production and deployment. We look forward to sharing updates on these when we can. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:10:42Looking ahead, our focus remains on expanding adoption, deepening integration with leading partners, and supporting programs as they move into larger-scale fielding. As these initiatives mature, we believe Swarmer can become a foundational software layer for autonomous and collaborative systems and support long-term growth as deployment volumes increase across multiple domains. We are still early on that journey, but we are encouraged by the momentum we are seeing and the opportunities ahead. With that, I will turn it over to Brooks to walk through the financials in more detail. Brooks EnsignCFO at Swarmer00:11:14Thank you, Alex, and good morning, everyone. I will now review our results for the quarter. Revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $20,325 compared to $110,704 in Q1 2025. The decline primarily reflects the wind-down of residual service-related deferred revenue associated with the company's historically largest customer in Ukraine. The company does not expect future revenue from this customer and is focused on expanding engagements with higher volume customers in Ukraine and international markets. The company's revenue model is generally tied to customer deployment and software activation timelines. Revenue associated with software licenses is typically recognized upon activation, while a portion related to ongoing support and service obligations is deferred and recognized over the applicable service period. Brooks EnsignCFO at Swarmer00:12:05Reported revenue in any given period may fluctuate based on customer production and deployment schedules as programs transition from development into broader fielding. Gross loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $19,599, compared to gross profit of $65,162 in the first quarter of 2025, driven primarily by lower revenue during the period. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $4.5 million, compared to $800,000 in Q1 2025. As Alex mentioned, operating expenses increased primarily due to higher consulting and professional services, expenses associated with becoming a public company, together with increased investment in engineering and product development initiatives. Brooks EnsignCFO at Swarmer00:12:55While certain public company transition costs incurred during the quarter were non-recurring, we expect to continue investing in engineering, product development, and strategic growth initiatives as we scale the business. Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $4.5 million, compared to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher OpEx. Turning to the balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents at March 31st, 2026 totaled $23.5 million, compared to $9.3 million at December 31, 2025. Brooks EnsignCFO at Swarmer00:13:33The increase primarily reflects gross proceeds of approximately $17.3 million from the company's IPO, together with approximately $3.5 million in gross proceeds from the sale of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock. With that, we'll turn the call over to the operator for questions. Operator? Operator00:13:54Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. The confirmation tone indicates your line is in the question queue. You may press star to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star key. One moment, please. While we call for your question. Our first question has come from the line of Alex Fuhrman with Lucid Capital Markets. Please proceed with your questions. Alex FuhrmanAnalyst at Lucid Capital Markets00:14:28Great. Thanks very much for taking my question. Congratulations on the successful listing recently. Wanted to ask about the recently announced SkyKnight deal. That sounds like a big growth opportunity for Swarmer. Specifically, can you help me understand? It looks like about a $2.9 million reward for the 16,000 software licenses. Then an option to upgrade the licenses for north of $10 million. That's almost a five times increase in revenue if these licenses are upgraded. Can you help us understand what that upgrade would entail and what needs to happen in order for that upgrade to be exercised? Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:15:15Sure. The customer chose to install our Full Autonomy Stack, the Swarmer platform, on a portion of their drones and our base operating system, Swarmer OS, on everything else that they manufacture. They have the option later on, even after those drones are deployed, to upgrade any drone with Swarmer OS on it to the Full Autonomy Stack. The Swarmer OS includes basic functionality like proper encryption, security, secure messaging between the drones, video streaming to multiple viewers, et cetera, but it does not include any autonomy. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:15:52The autonomy, they are starting out with putting it on a portion of the drones, on specific models, but they have the option to enable it everywhere, essentially, once their end user sees it in action and chooses to have it in every single drone deployed. Alex FuhrmanAnalyst at Lucid Capital Markets00:16:11Okay. That's really helpful. Appreciate that. Can you talk about the recent announcement, looks like just the other day, to partner with some other firms to build a drone interceptor system? That seems like something that's obviously very high in demand right now. What kind of a timeline, you know, do you expect this collaboration to take? You know, when could that start to actually be, you know, becoming deployable? Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:16:45Let me start from the demand side, because we're absolutely seeing demand from multiple places around the globe. The problem that we're seeing is that all the countries that need site defense solutions, that need interceptors, probably wouldn't be able to actually use an interceptor if they bought one. An interception process requires multiple steps. You need to be able to detect the threat. You need to be able to coordinate that information and transfer information about the target and where it's heading to the interception system. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:17:17If you don't have interceptor pilots, which most countries around the world don't, you need to actually have a software system that guides that interceptor to the target and tracks it, and actually terminates it. All of these things need to work in concert with each other, and you need to have this end-to-end solution. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:17:33Ukraine right now has these partial solutions that are integrated manually by highly competent, highly trained, very experienced people. Most places don't have that. We think that for Ukraine as well, it would be useful, but for every other country around the world, it would be necessary to just provide a solution that works end-to-end, that starts with a detection method and ends with the target being terminated, with all the steps in between being coordinated with a single software stack. That's what we're building here to enable that and to be able to protect critical infrastructure around the West and around all the countries that we want to help. For that to happen, we need to coordinate multiple players together. That's why you're seeing the detection company that we are working with, Karadag. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:18:22That's why you're seeing the interceptor company itself, X-Drone, and NORDA, which provides terminal guidance for these, some of these scenarios. The timeline, we will have to obviously work with these partners to see the complexity of the integration. My personal estimate would be that it's a matter of somewhere between two-four months, but it could be more complex or simpler depending on what's under the hood and depending on how initial tests go. Obviously, when it comes to deploying something like this, you need to test it. You cannot just look at the software and estimate the integration. We will update everyone as this progresses regarding the actual timeline when we have a more precise estimate. Alex FuhrmanAnalyst at Lucid Capital Markets00:19:10Okay. That's really exciting. Thanks for the update on that. Lastly, you know, you've got more than $20 million of cash on the balance sheet now following the IPO. You know, not a ton of OpEx here. How do you prioritize investing in M&A versus CapEx versus potentially adding more headcount? Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:19:33Our goal was always to move as fast as possible and to create tools that help the warfighter and to have the greatest impact that we can on the battlefield to help the good guys win. Whatever allows us to move faster and achieve these goals is probably what's going to get the priority. I think that primarily OpEx would be where we would be investing in hiring more engineers, especially on the integration side, to work with more hardware. But it's all of the above. We need to move fast. We need to get this thing to work. We need it to be useful for the warfighter, and we need it to be deployed and scaled as quickly as possible. Alex FuhrmanAnalyst at Lucid Capital Markets00:20:13Okay. Appreciate the insight. Thank you very much. Operator00:20:18Thank you. Our next question has come from the line of Michael Latimore with Northland Capital Markets. Please proceed with your questions. Michael LatimoreAnalyst at Northland Capital Markets00:20:25All right. Yeah. Good morning. Congrats on being public here. You know, as you ramp over time, I assume this is a software kind of model, we should think of gross margins being, you know, 70% plus as you scale over time. Is that a fair assessment? Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:20:44Brooks, do you wanna take this one? Brooks EnsignCFO at Swarmer00:20:47Yes. Certainly, that is a fair assessment. We have some service obligations for the revenue and some implementation. Yes, that is a reasonable estimate. Michael LatimoreAnalyst at Northland Capital Markets00:21:01Okay. How do you price this? Is it like a percentage of overall system value, or like just some more color on how price, how you'd price it would be great. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:21:13It is to some extent a work in progress because the market itself is evolving. We chose a per-unit licensing model because we see the volume of units being manufactured in this market going up exponentially. We think that is the best way to scale along with the market. What is the price per unit? That is definitely. It depends on the amount of effort of integrating this particular class of device. It depends on how scalable that class of device is. For higher volume manufacturing, perhaps the prices could be slightly lower. For something that is manufactured in very low volume overall, like very large fixed-wing drones, for example, the prices need to be higher because it's a large integration investment that only gets amortized over a small number of units. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:22:04It would be ideal if we could always just charge a certain percentage of the bill of materials, but that is likely unrealistic. We will try to figure out what pricing makes sense on a case-by-case basis. Michael LatimoreAnalyst at Northland Capital Markets00:22:18Got it. You've had a number of nice customer and partner announcements. I guess, are those the main ones that should be generating revenue here, or do you have several that are unannounced? I'm guessing there's plenty of companies that don't want to announce projects ahead of time. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:22:35Yeah. There are certainly companies that don't want to announce projects ahead of time. As I mentioned in the introduction to this, the announcements and the revenue tend to be a trailing indicator. The work that you're seeing out in public right now typically reflects work that we've done somewhere between three and nine months ago. In many cases, the pipeline is quite deep, and we're looking forward to sharing more information when we're able to about what's next. Michael LatimoreAnalyst at Northland Capital Markets00:23:04Great. Just last one from me. You know, impressive that you guys have had 100,000 combat missions. Can you give a little bit more detail on those missions? Maybe, you know, how many drones were in operation per mission? Were they kinetic strikes or surveillance? Yeah, just one more color on that would be great. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:23:25We need to be somewhat careful and only expose things that we are authorized to expose. I think that we've shared previously that the first combat mission started in April 2024. Initially, it was relatively simple operations like multi-drone reconnaissance or mining operations. It progressed to bombing operations with multiple drones. In Ukraine, typically, those were relatively small groups. Started with three, grew to somewhere between eight and 10, but these were relatively large drones early on. The types of autonomy that were run in these missions also varied. Early on, we had a lot of engagements that were semi-autonomous, where we would control the drones on the way to the target area, but then a pilot would control the drones for the actual moment where they fired the shot. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:24:18Then we would control the drone on the way back. Later on, it progressed to more autonomous missions where we would control recon drones to send a video feed of the target area back to an operator. The operator would paint the target on the screen, and then we would control the attack drones that engage the target. In fact, we would also decide which attack drone takes which target. That was not a decision for the operator to make. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:24:42That was a decision for the drones that are in the target. Yeah, we would determine which attack drone engages which target because that information is more available in the target area and better made based on who has the highest probability of hitting it. These are the missions that are primarily running now, but we are progressing along with the hardware. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:25:05When we integrate new hardware, new types of mission templates become available. Michael LatimoreAnalyst at Northland Capital Markets00:25:12Okay, great. Thanks very much. Operator00:25:16Thank you so much. We have reached the end of our question-and-answer session. I'd like to turn the call back over to Alex Fink for any closing comments. Alex FinkPresident and US CEO at Swarmer00:25:25Thanks, everyone, for joining us today. As a reminder, you can find out more about our company, receive additional updates, and learn about upcoming events from the investor relations section of our website. We look forward to updating you on the exciting progress we are making in the defense and technology market. Finally, I'd like to thank our employees, partners, and shareholders for their continued support. Operator. Operator00:25:49Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. This does now conclude today's teleconference. We appreciate your participation. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Enjoy the rest of your day.Read moreParticipantsExecutivesAlex FinkPresident and US CEOBrooks EnsignCFOAnalystsAlex FuhrmanAnalyst at Lucid Capital MarketsMichael LatimoreAnalyst at Northland Capital MarketsPowered by
