— Medium-lift Vulcan SX in production; heavy-lift Vulcan YX open for preorder —

— Vision Aerial management projects approximately 46% revenue growth in 2026 and approximately 93% in 2027 —

BOZEMAN, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Vision Aerial, Inc. (“Vision Aerial” or the “Company”) said today it is taking orders for its new Vulcan aircraft family and expects revenue to grow approximately 93% in 2027, following approximately 46% projected growth in 2026, as the first Vulcan aircraft move from the factory floor in Bozeman to customers. Vision Aerial has agreed to be acquired by Mobix Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBX) (“Mobix Labs”) under a definitive agreement announced on July 24, 2026.

Management's current estimates call for revenue to rise approximately 46% in 2026, with a further increase of approximately 93% in 2027. If achieved, that trajectory would bring 2027 revenue to nearly three times what the Company generated in 2025, driven by the Vulcan rollout and demand for secure aircraft built entirely in the United States. (See “About Vision Aerial's Growth Projections” below.)

Every Vision Aerial aircraft is designed, assembled and supported at the Company's Bozeman headquarters, and operators of its systems include the U.S. Navy, the USDA Forest Service, L3Harris and some of the country's largest energy and utility companies. Vulcan, the Company's newest family, pairs two NDAA-compliant platforms on a shared architecture — the medium-lift Vulcan SX, now moving through production, and the heavy-lift Vulcan YX, now open for preorder — built for professional work spanning government, infrastructure, energy, public-safety and national-security applications.

“Vulcan came from years of listening to the people who fly our aircraft for a living,” said Shawn Roberts, President of Vision Aerial. “We build everything here in Bozeman, and what operators are telling us about these two platforms says the market wants exactly that: serious payload, real flight time, American-made.”

Mobix Labs (Nasdaq: MOBX) delivers advanced electronics, connectivity, RF and sensing technologies for aerospace, defense and other high-reliability markets, with technology deployed on platforms including the F-22 Raptor, Apache helicopters, U.S. Navy programs, Boeing 737NG aircraft and Gulfstream aircraft. Mobix Labs has pursued strategic acquisitions as a core part of its growth plan, and upon completion of the transaction Vision Aerial is expected to become part of Mobix Labs' national-security technology platform, extending it from advanced components into American-built autonomous aerial systems.

Closing is anticipated in the fourth calendar quarter of 2026 and remains subject to customary conditions, including approval by Mobix Labs stockholders of the related share issuance. Until then, Vision Aerial continues to operate as an independent company.

Vision Aerial's historical financial statements are expected to be included in the proxy materials for the Mobix Labs stockholder vote on the share issuance in the transaction.

Key Terms

ndaa-compliant regulatory

NDAA-compliant means that a product, supplier, or company meets the rules in the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act that bar certain foreign technologies and require specific security practices. For investors, compliance matters because it determines whether a business can sell to the U.S. government, avoid fines or bans, and reduce supply‑chain or reputational risk—similar to passing a background check that lets you bid on a sensitive contract.

definitive agreement regulatory

A definitive agreement is a formal, legally binding document that outlines the final terms and conditions of a deal or transaction, such as a sale or partnership. It acts like a detailed contract that confirms all parties have agreed on the key details, making the deal official. For investors, it signals that the agreement is settled and moving toward completion, providing clarity and security about the transaction.

unaudited financial

"Unaudited" describes financial statements or reports that have not been examined or verified by an independent accountant or auditor. Because they haven't undergone this review, they may not be as reliable or accurate as audited reports, making them less certain for investors to rely on when assessing a company's financial health. Think of it as a preliminary estimate that could change once checked by an expert.

proxy statement regulatory

A proxy statement is a document companies send to shareholders ahead of a meeting that lays out the items up for a vote—like who will sit on the board, executive pay, and major corporate decisions—and provides background so shareholders can decide how to cast their votes or appoint someone to vote for them. Think of it as an agenda plus a ballot and briefing notes, important because the outcomes can change control, strategy, and value.
