Insights

Defense Technology Financial Analyst

Mobilicom shows revenue acceleration with $1.5M in H1 and $1.6M backlog, driven by DoD's BlueUAS selection and Tier-1 customer transitions to production.

Mobilicom's H1 2025 results reveal a compelling growth trajectory with $1.5 million in revenue plus a $1.6 million backlog, creating a combined $3.1 million that's already approaching their full-year 2024 performance. This acceleration stems from Tier-1 customers transitioning to mass production phases, most notably evidenced by their recent $1.4 million order from a major U.S. drone manufacturer.

The inclusion of Mobilicom's SkyHopper products in the Department of Defense's Blue UAS Framework represents a significant competitive advantage, essentially creating a pre-approved procurement pathway for government contracts. This certification, combined with increasing defense spending patterns across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, positions the company strategically amid heightened global security concerns.

From a financial perspective, the 55% gross margin demonstrates the company's strong intellectual property position and effective supply chain management. Their $7 million cash reserve coupled with a reduced monthly burn rate of approximately $262,000 provides substantial runway for strategic execution without immediate financing concerns.

The expanding customer portfolio now includes a major loitering munitions manufacturer, a Tier-1 Asian robotics conglomerate, and deepening relationships with existing customers. While EBITDA remains negative at $(1.9) million (vs. $(1.5) million in H1 2024), the increased investment appears strategic given the expanding sales pipeline.

The company's focus on cybersecurity integration through partnerships with Palladyne AI, ARK Electronics, and Aitech Systems indicates a forward-looking approach to address emerging security concerns in autonomous systems. This positions Mobilicom at the intersection of two growing trends: increased drone adoption and heightened cybersecurity requirements for defense applications.

Momentum accelerates with $1.5 million in revenue for H1 2025 and an order backlog of $1.6 million as of June 30, bringing the combined total to $3.1 million — already approaching full-year 2024 revenue, as new sales continue to ramp in the second half of 2025

Growth driven by transition of key Tier-1 customers into mass production as U.S. sets policy to advance adoption of drones, defense manufacturers prepare for DoD Programs of Record, continued conflicts in the Middle East and increased European defense spending

Selection of Mobilicom’s cybersecure systems into the DoD’s prestigious Blue UAS Framework is fast tracking additional sales to Tier-1 defense contractors

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobilicom Limited (Nasdaq: MOB, MOBBW), a provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, today announced financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as well as recent business and operational highlights.

“During the first half of 2025, we saw a ramp up in order sas Tier-1 customers geared up for production for anticipated U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) programs of record, as evidenced by our most recent $1.4 million order and our $1.6 million backlog, which we expect to fulfill during the second half of the year,” stated Mobilicom CEO and Founder Oren Elkayam. “Our SkyHopper’s addition to the DoD BlueUAS Framework was a major achievement earlier this year and is very well timed with the broader drone-focused defense spending patterns emerging in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, all of which are fast tracking sales to DoD and allied militaries. Additionally, we expect to see accelerated adoption of our OS3cybersecurity software into AI-driven next-generation drones and robotics through key industry partnerships, several of we established during the first half of 2025.”
