$1.7 Million First-Half Revenue, Up 19% Year Over Year

$1.2 Million Second-Quarter Revenue as U.S. DoW POR Deliveries Moved to a Monthly Cadence

New Products Launch Followed by Design Wins and Initial Orders for MultiBand & Tactical Expanding SkyHopper Secure Datalink Product Family

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobilicom Limited (NASDAQ:MOB, MOBBW), MOBBW) ("Mobilicom" or the "Company"), a provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, today announced financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as well as recent business and operational highlights. The Company’s management will host a webcast at 4:30 p.m. ET today. Details of the webcast are provided below.

"The first half of 2026 marked an inflection in our transition from design wins to production revenue," said Oren Elkayam, CEO and Co-Founder of Mobilicom. "Revenue increase driven principally by our Tier-1 customer’s U.S. DoW Program of Record, where we have moved from initial deployment orders into a monthly delivery cadence. That is the difference between episodic purchase orders and being embedded in a qualified production line."

"Two forces are working in our favor. Western forces are institutionalizing small drones and loitering munitions as standard and repeat-purchase equipment, while our platform-agnostic position lets us participate without betting on any single platform. Meanwhile regulation has become a competitive advantage: our cybersecurity, hardware and software solutions now fall within the FCC's definition of a UAS critical component, and Trusted status is granted only to companies with DoW certifications and a clear and retained U.S. onshoring plan, which is what our U.S. manufacturing build-out aims to deliver. That is a meaningful barrier to entry for new players, and it makes us a design-in-ready alternative just as platform manufacturers re-source."

Elkayam concluded, "We also broadened our footprint beyond the U.S., with design wins for a next-generation loitering munition platform with a Tier-1 Israeli manufacturer, and AI-enabled autonomous weapon system and — both pairing our newly launched SkyHopper MultiBand and Tactical hardware with our ICE and OS3 software, raising our content per platform. The foundations we put in place this half — a production delivery cadence, a U.S. manufacturing build-out, a widening base of design wins, and a debt-free balance sheet company with $15.9 million in cash (adjusted) — are the platform for our next phase of scale."

Recent Operational & Strategic Highlights

Secured design win and initial order with Tier-1 Israeli defense customer for new loitering munitions platform, expanding into a new platform with a path toward future mass production and global deployment. The win incorporates the newly launched SkyHopper MultiBand and Tactical together with ICE electronic warfare resistance software.
Secured design win for AI-enabled autonomous weapon systems with an Israeli defense technology company, covering four Mobilicom products — ICE and OS3 software, SkyHopper Multiband datalink and 10-inch Mobile Ground Control Stations — selected under a single design win, reflecting a significantly higher value proposition per platform and demonstrating Mobilicom’s ability to deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions.
Tier-1 partner has progressed within the U.S. Army’s Low Altitude Stalking and Strike Ordnance (LASSO) program, embedding our technology and reinforcing Mobilicom’s position within next-generation U.S. defense drone platforms and supporting potential long-term demand.
Announced $2.2 million in new orders tied to the OPF-L Program with a large U.S.-based manufacturer of small-sized drones for loitering munitions platforms. Deliveries are proceeding at a monthly cadence.
Announced new design wins with two leading U.S. Tier-1 defense drone manufacturers for small-sized Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance ("ISR") drone platforms incorporating tailored, cybersecure SkyHopper datalink solutions and ICE electronic warfare resistance & cybersecurity suite.
Launched SkyHopper MultiBand and SkyHopper Tactical, each developed to address the direct requirements of defense forces in contested and GPS-denied environments, expanding the secure communications hardware portfolio. Both products generated design wins and initial orders within the same half — the fastest launch-to-design-win conversion the Company has achieved.
Mobilicom’s full suite of drone and robotics solutions was included in the FCC’s first batch of Trusted Drones, as determined by the U.S. DoW, making Mobilicom one of only four companies granted exemption status and highlighting its compliance with stringent U.S. security standards.

The Company’s onshoring plan, approved under the FCC’s Conditional Approval process, remains on track, supported by its U.S. manufacturing build-out.

Financial Highlights for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026

Second quarter revenue of $1.2 million brought first half revenue to $1.7 million, up 19% over the first half of 2025 ($1.5 million). Revenue driven by production and delivery against Tier-1 scaled deployments under the U.S. Department of War Program of Record.
Confirmed order backlog was $1.0 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $1.6 million as of June 30, 2025, in addition to new orders expected to be received and fulfilled in the second half of 2026.
Gross margin was 52%, reflecting support for higher-volume production orders while continuing to capture the value of its IP-based technology.
Operating cash burn averaged $859,000 per month during the first half of 2026, or $591,000 per month on an as adjusted basis excluding $1.61 million of vested RSU and options-related tax payments outside the ordinary course of operating activities, reflecting a shift toward funding operational readiness and growth initiatives.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $15.2 million as of June 30, 2026, or $15.9 million on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to the reimbursement of an options-related tax payment made on behalf of grantees and received in July 2026, providing the Company with substantial financial flexibility to support its growth initiatives.
Clean, debt-free balance sheet with no loans, credit facilities, or convertible debt.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2026 was $(2.9) million, compared to $(1.9) million for the first half of 2025, consistent with the adjusted cash burn.
