DroneShield revenue jumps 94%, cashflow turns positive
Counter-drone technology firm DroneShield (ASX:DRO) has reported a 94% year-on-year jump in revenue for the December 2025 quarter, driven by a string of new contracts across multiple regions.
The company posted Q4 revenue of $51.3 million, up from $26.4 million in the same period last year, though below the $92.9 million recorded in the previous quarter.
Operating cash flow also swung to a positive $7.7 million, reversing an $8.9 million loss in Q4 2024. DroneShield highlighted $95.6 million in committed revenue for 2026, compared with "negligible" committed revenue at this time last year.
The strong quarterly performance was underpinned by a $50 million military contract in Europe, alongside new agreements in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region.
The company also inaugurated a new research and development facility in South Australia, underscoring its ongoing investment in technological innovation.
