From the latest earnings call · 2026-09-09

CONFIDENT AeroVironment delivered record Q1 FY27 revenue of $480M and funded backlog of $1.5B, driven by landmark counter-UAS laser (LOCUST) and loitering munitions wins. FY27 guidance reaffirmed at $2.125–$2.225B revenue and $305–$325M adjusted EBITDA. Significant capacity expansions underway across four U.S. facilities.

Second question on production capacity was cut off mid-transcript. 2026-09-09…
