Sunnyvale, Calif. – July 20, 2026 – Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP), the security technology company building the nation’s first Autonomous Security Force, today announced preliminary results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Company recorded approximately $9 million in revenue for the quarter – an increase of more than 200% compared with $2.7 million in the same quarter last year, and a new quarterly record for the Company, which now serves 434 clients across 42 states in the U.S.

​

"Our preliminary, second-quarter results are a testament to our vision for developing and deploying hardware, software, and humans together as an integrated security force,” said William Santana Li, Knightscope’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
