Knightscope Reports Third Quarter Revenue Up 177% Year Over Year to $8.7 Million

Third consecutive quarter of triple-digit year-over-year revenue growth

Gross margin improved $2.0 million year over year to a positive $0.4 million

Sunnyvale, Calif. — November 12, 2026 — Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP) (the "Company" or "Knightscope"), the security technology company building the nation's first Autonomous Security Force, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. Revenue was $8.7 million, up 177% year over year, marking the Company's third consecutive quarter of triple-digit year-over-year revenue growth.

"We delivered our third consecutive quarter of triple-digit revenue growth, and positive gross margin in our services business," said William Santana Li, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Knightscope. "This year we redefined our go-to-market strategy around delivering security outcomes - autonomous machines, AI-driven software, and licensed security agents operating as one accountable operation under one contract. Our priorities are clear: convert the approximately $27 million in renewals, bookings, and client awards secured since May 2026 into revenue, expand with the clients we already serve, and drive margins higher.”

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

•Revenue: $8.7 million, up 177% from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2025. Service revenue was $8.6 million, up 349%, including $6.6 million from Knightscope Security Force ("KSF"). Product revenue was $0.1 million, compared with $1.2 million in the prior-year period.

•Gross margin: $0.4 million, or 5% of revenue, compared with a gross loss of $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2025. Service gross margin was $0.7 million, or 8% of service revenue, compared with a service gross loss of $1.6 million, in the third quarter of 2025.

•Operating expenses: $12.0 million, or 138% of revenue, compared with $7.9 million, or 254% of revenue, in the prior-year period. Research and development expense declined 5% to $3.6 million as the Company continued moving engineering in-house to improve development speed and control, while reducing development costs. Sales, general and administrative expense was $8.4 million, including $0.9 million of events and sponsorship costs, primarily for the Autonomous Security Force unveiling at GSX 2026, and $0.6 million of higher intangible asset amortization related to the KSF acquisition.

•Net loss: $11.8 million, or $0.50 per share, based on 23.6 million weighted average shares, compared with $9.5 million, or $0.98 per share, based on 9.8 million weighted average shares, in the third quarter of 2025.

•K7 manufacturing commenced at Knightscope Headquarters ("KHQ") to accelerate deployment during the fourth quarter 2026.
