Airship AI Holdings, Inc. Q1 FY26 Results

The first quarter of 2026 extended the momentum we built in the fourth quarter, particularly across preparatory procurement and teaming activities tied to several anticipated large award opportunities expected later in the current fiscal year. While certain fiscal appropriation procedural challenges at the Department of Homeland Security were addressed under new leadership, procurement activity during the quarter continued to be constrained by the absence of finalized budgets for the remaining DHS agencies and delays in the disbursement of OB3 funds. Despite these budget-related headwinds, we successfully secured several awards supporting critical border technology initiatives and AI-driven public safety capabilities associated with National Special Security Events, including the World Cup and America’s 250th anniversary celebrations. At the same time, increasing market awareness of the breadth of our platform, the maturity of our integrations, and our ability to support mission-critical requirements led to several new partnerships in which we are serving as both prime and/or subcontractor. We believe these developments further strengthen our positioning and expand our ability to scale as procurement activity accelerates. During the quarter, we attended several critical industry tradeshows, including ISC-West, the premier event for physical and cybersecurity in the US. Leveraging the extensive network from our newly added sales and business development leaders, we were able to substantially expand the number of security integrators interested in leading with Airship AI as a core product offering to their customers, from the regional to national level. These discussions and the follow-on customer engagements post-event highlight the strength in our differentiated approach to this marketplace. At the show, we announced several key updates to our AI software suite, including enhanced functionality within Ask Airship, our agentic AI natural-language search tool. Based on feedback from initial customer and partner deployments, we believe these enhancements materially improve operational efficiency for customers managing federated and enterprise security environments, while also increasing their ability to extract actionable intelligence from both real-time and historical data. We believe this capability further differentiates our platform and supports the growing demand for more predictive, intelligence-driven security operations. We also introduced several new integrated hardware and software offerings that enable customers to deploy our edge AI platform, Outpost AI, through turnkey operational sensor packages. By combining our software and hardware with commercial off-the-shelf and government off-the-shelf technologies, we are making it easier for customers to rapidly procure and deploy urgently needed public safety and physical security solutions. We believe these packaged offerings enhance the accessibility of our platform and create additional avenues for near-term growth. While we remain primarily focused on expanding our AI software offerings, we continue to see meaningful opportunities to extend our platform through integration with both internally developed and third-party hardware solutions that broaden the reach of our ecosystem. This includes opportunities across both federal and commercial markets, particularly in areas where we see attractive greenfield potential, such as autonomous AI-driven robotic platforms designed to support public safety, security, and operational use cases. As we move through the second half of the fiscal year, we remain highly encouraged by the strength of our pipeline, the progress we made during the quarter, and our team’s ability to execute against the opportunities ahead. Assuming budgets for the remaining federal agencies are approved within the next one to two months, we believe the foundation is in place for procurement activity to increase meaningfully, supporting what we expect will be a very active and momentum-driven finish to the year.”
