Recent Company History

Over the past several months, SKYX has focused on expanding its smart plug-and-play platform through retail launches, major projects, and steady revenue growth. It reported record $24.0M Q3 2025 revenue and highlighted collaborations such as a large Miami smart-city project and Texas residential deployments. Product launches, including the SKYFAN & Turbo Heater and AI-enhanced e-commerce efforts, have typically produced modest positive price reactions. Today’s broader corporate update and capital raise build directly on those expansion and commercialization themes.

Regulatory & Risk Context

Active S-3 Shelf Registration 2025-10-24

$15.6 million registered capacity

An amended S-3 shelf registration allows resale of up to 14,719,841 shares tied mainly to $15.6 million of subordinated secured convertible notes at a $1.20 conversion price. The company will not receive proceeds from these resales, but the registration facilitates potential selling by existing securityholders, which can represent an overhang for common stock.

Market Pulse Summary

This announcement outlines additional capital of $9.5M, extensions of $13.5M in notes to 2030, and growing deployment commitments, including over 500,000 units in a Miami smart-city project. It also reiterates a revenue run-rate reaching $24M in Q3 2025 and plans for AI-driven e-commerce improvements targeting up to 30% higher conversion. Investors may focus on how these initiatives affect cash-flow progression, the impact of existing convertible-note structures, and execution across large project and retail channels.

Key Terms

convertible note financial

"SKYX Board Member Converted an $835,000 Convertible Note at $2.20 per share"

A convertible note is a type of loan that a company gets from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. It matters because it helps startups raise money quickly without setting a fixed value for the company right away, making it easier to grow and attract investors.

ai ecosystem program technical

"SKYX is in Process of Expanding its AI Ecosystem Program and AI Future Offerings"

A corporate AI ecosystem program is an organized initiative to build and connect a company’s AI tools, data, developer partners and customers so products work together and improve over time. For investors, it shows how a firm plans to scale AI capabilities, attract users and partners, and create lasting revenue streams—think of it like a power grid that links generators, appliances and customers to make the whole system more valuable.

plug & play technical

"Advanced and Smart Plug & Play products in two projects in the Austin and San Antonio"

Plug & play describes a product, service, or system that can be used immediately with little or no setup or integration—like an appliance you can simply plug in and it works. For investors it matters because plug & play offerings usually speed time to revenue, reduce implementation costs and technical risk, and make partnerships or acquisitions easier to scale, which can support faster returns and steadier forecasts.

ai driven software technical

"launching a new AI driven software for its e-commerce platform of 60 websites"

Software that uses artificial intelligence to analyze data, make predictions, or automate decisions, often by finding patterns in large datasets rather than following fixed rules. It matters to investors because AI-driven products can scale faster, cut costs, and create new revenue streams like an autopilot that improves with more flight hours, but they also carry risks around accuracy, regulatory scrutiny, and ongoing data or compute costs that affect profitability.

e-commerce platform technical

"AI driven software for its e-commerce platform of 60 websites"

An e-commerce platform is the online system that lets businesses list, sell, and manage products or services to customers, handling storefronts, shopping carts, payments and order processing. It matters to investors because the platform’s user traffic, sales volume, fees and ability to keep customers determine revenue growth and profit potential; like a digital shopping mall, more visitors and smoother checkout usually mean stronger financial returns.

restricted cash financial

"reported $13 million in total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and receivables"

Cash that a company holds but cannot use for day-to-day operations because it is set aside for a specific purpose—such as meeting loan covenants, serving as collateral, funding an escrow, or complying with regulations. Like money in a locked savings account earmarked for a bill, restricted cash reduces the cash available to run the business and pay dividends or debts, so investors treat it differently when assessing a company’s true short-term financial strength.

Both strongly believe that, considering the Company’s standardization progress including its product specification approval voting for by ANSI / NEMA (American National Standardization Institute / National Electrical Manufacturers Association) and being voted into 10 segments in the NEC Code Book, it has met the necessary safety conditions for becoming a ceiling safety standardization requirement for homes and buildings.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management considers earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted, an important indicator in evaluating the Company’s business on a consistent basis across various periods. Due to the significance of non-recurring items, EBITDA, as adjusted, enables management to monitor and evaluate the business on a consistent basis. The Company uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as a primary measure, among others, to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and potential acquisitions. The Company believes that EBITDA, as adjusted, eliminates items that are not part of the Company’s core operations, such as interest expense and amortization expense associated with intangible assets, or items that do not involve a cash outlay, such as share-based payments and non-recurring items, such as transaction costs. EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income (loss), net income (loss) and cash flows used in operating activities. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. Investors should review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
