Tessera Sets 2027 Revenue Target of $14–16 Million and Outlines Path to Approximately $30 Million by 2029

The 2027 plan pairs contracted business with customer expansion and opportunities that still need to convert into revenue.

Tessera Defense and Homeland Security (HLSQ) targets $14 million to $16 million in consolidated revenue for 2027.

It also targets approximately $21 million in 2028 and $30 million in 2029. Management expects 2027 revenue to be weighted toward the second half.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

News Explained

If Tessera chooses to exercise acquisition options, it says it may direct financial resources to those deals, including through an expanded line of credit with Mandragola; the release gives no amount or terms, so the potential borrowing commitment cannot be sized.

Key Terms

cagr, revenue recognition, b2b2c

3 terms

cagr financial

"2029 target represents an implied revenue CAGR of approximately 40%"

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) measures the average yearly growth of an investment, revenue, or other metric over a multi-year period as if it had grown at a steady rate each year. Think of it like the constant speed that would take you from the starting value to the ending value over the same time—useful because it smooths out ups and downs and lets investors compare different assets or performance periods on an even footing.

revenue recognition financial

"project timing, revenue recognition, market conditions"

Revenue recognition is the accounting rule that determines when a company records a sale as income on its financial statements, which may differ from when cash actually arrives. It matters to investors because the timing and method used can change reported profits and growth, so understanding it is like knowing whether a scoreboard counts goals as soon as they’re scored or only after they’re confirmed — the timing affects comparisons, forecasts, and valuation.

b2b2c technical

"B2B2C: increasing cooperation with existing clients"

A B2B2C model is a go-to-market approach where a company sells products or services to other businesses that then deliver those goods or offer them to end consumers, so the company reaches final customers through partners rather than directly. For investors it matters because this setup can speed up customer reach and reduce marketing costs but also adds dependency on partners, affecting revenue growth, profit margins and how predictable future sales are — like a manufacturer selling through a chain of retailers instead of opening its own stores.

Management believes that $14-$16 million of the 2027 revenue target will be supported by backlog, signed contracts or purchase orders, existing customer expansion, new customer, and additional commercial opportunities

NETANYA, Israel, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tessera Defense and Homeland Security Inc. (NYSE American: HLSQ) (“Tessera”) (“the Company”) today announced its initial 2027 revenue target and longer-term financial targets through 2029, outlining a growth strategy centred on scaling the Tessera physical security platform across larger projects, additional customers, new markets and expanded capabilities.

The Company is targeting consolidated revenue of approximately $14 million to $16 million in 2027.

Tessera currently expects 2027 revenue to be weighted toward the second half of the year, reflecting the anticipated timing of platform deployments, customer projects’ cycles and commercial activity. Management believes the potential revenue targets will be comprised of the following: $7 million from backlog, signed contracts or purchase orders; $5 million from existing-customer expansion and identified commercial opportunities; $3 million from new customers and future commercial opportunities.

Using the midpoint of the Company's 2027 revenue target, the 2029 target represents an implied revenue CAGR of approximately 40% from 2027 through 2029.

Looking beyond 2027, management is targeting consolidated revenue of approximately:

• $21 million in 2028
• $30 million in 2029
  
  

The targets reflect management's current strategic plan, which combines organic growth from Tessera's existing businesses, expansion of the Tessera platform and anticipated contributions from future acquisitions. None of these milestone targets include companies with which Tessera has an unexercised option to acquire.

From Sight to Foresight

At the center of Tessera's growth strategy is its integrated, site-tailored physical security platform.

The Tessera platform brings together detection, intelligence and response capabilities, connecting cameras, sensors, detection technologies, AI, software and other security infrastructure into a unified system designed around the requirements of each customer site.

Today, the platform incorporates technologies from Tessera's Zorronet and DFSL subsidiaries, as well as licenced 3^rd party technologies, combining complementary detection and intelligence capabilities within the Tessera physical security platform. Tessera intends to continue expanding the platform by integrating additional technologies developed internally or added through future acquisitions, JV’s and licensing agreements.

Management believes this platform model creates multiple avenues for growth.

Tessera plans to increase the number of platform deployments, expand the size and scope of individual projects, add capabilities at existing customer sites, enter new verticals and geographies, and extend its reach through integrators and channel partners.

As the installed base grows, the Company also sees an opportunity to expand software, licensing, service and support revenue associated with the platform.

Building More Value Into Each Deployment

Tessera's growth strategy is designed to move beyond selling individual technologies.

By combining multiple capabilities within a single platform, Tessera can address a broader portion of a customer's physical security requirements and pursue larger, higher-value projects.

The Company expects growth to be supported by several key drivers:

• More platform deployments: expanding adoption across critical infrastructure, energy, digital infrastructure and homeland security applications.
• Larger projects: incorporating a broader mix of Tessera technologies and capabilities into individual deployments.
• Expansion within existing customers: extending the platform to additional sites, systems and use cases.
• New markets: entering additional verticals and geographies where the platform can be tailored to local security requirements.
• Broader distribution: expanding relationships with integrators, channel partners and strategic partners capable of bringing Tessera into larger projects.
• Recurring revenue opportunities: increasing software, licensing, service and support revenue as the platform's installed base grows.
• Additional capabilities: integrating complementary technologies through internal development and selective acquisitions.
• B2B2C: increasing cooperation with existing clients who operate command and control centers to protect private and personal property.
  
  

2027 Priorities

Tessera's 2027 priorities are focused on translating the platform strategy into measurable commercial growth.

The Company intends to:

Scale platform sales
Increase adoption of the Tessera platform across new and existing customers, with a focus on larger and more complex sites.

Grow the value of each customer relationship
Add technologies, capabilities, sites and applications within existing deployments.

Expand commercial reach
Increase Tessera's presence across priority verticals and geographies, including primarily the EU and USA through direct sales, integrators, channel partners and strategic relationships.

Build recurring revenue
Expand software, licensing, service and support opportunities associated with the growing Tessera platform base.

Continue expanding the platform
Integrate additional complementary capabilities that broaden the range of physical security requirements Tessera can address.

Increase resources for potential acquisitions
To extent company decides to exercise acquisition options, deployment of financial resources towards such acquisitions, including use of expanded line of credit with Mandragola.

Key Milestones

Management expects to evaluate progress against its 2027 plan using a combination of financial and commercial indicators, including:

• 70 Tessera platform deployments/customer sites
• 60 new customers
• 15 expansion projects with existing customers
• Entry into 3 new geographies
• Expansion into 2 new verticals
• 16 new or expanded integrator and channel relationships
• Integration of 5 additional platform capabilities
• Approximately $7-8 million, or 50% of revenue, from recurring software, licensing, service and support
• Approximately $14 million in backlog by year-end 2027
  
  

The Company may refine these indicators as its commercial model, reporting systems and platform deployment base develop.

Assumptions Underlying the Targets

Tessera's 2027 revenue target and 2028–2029 long-term targets are based on management's current expectations and assume continued demand for the Company's platform and technologies, execution of anticipated customer projects, conversion of a portion of identified commercial opportunities into signed business, expansion within existing customers, growth through integrators and channel relationships, successful integration and commercialization of additional technologies and general market conditions.

The targets also assume contributions from future acquisitions consistent with management's current strategic plan. The timing, size, completion and financial contribution of any future acquisition cannot be assured.

Customer procurement, installation and acceptance schedules, project timing, revenue recognition, market conditions and other factors may affect the timing and amount of revenue ultimately recognized.

The Company's targets are forward-looking and do not represent guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially due to project timing, customer procurement decisions, the timing and completion of acquisitions, integration execution, revenue recognition, competitive conditions and other risks described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
