AeroVironment reported sharply higher scale but a swing to losses for the quarter and six months ended November 1, 2025, driven by its BlueHalo acquisition and related financing. Revenue reached $472.5 million for the quarter and $927.2 million for six months, up from $188.5 million and $377.9 million a year earlier, as the new SCDE segment contributed alongside strong Autonomous Systems growth. Despite this, higher cost of sales, SG&A, and much larger amortization of acquired intangibles led to a net loss of $84.5 million for six months, versus prior net income of $28.7 million.

The May 1, 2025 BlueHalo purchase added substantial goodwill of $2.37 billion and increased net intangibles to $971.8 million. To fund the deal and bolster liquidity, AeroVironment issued 17.4 million shares$966.8 million from additional share issuance, and completed a $747.5 million 0% convertible notes offering, then repaid its term loan and revolver. Cash and cash equivalents rose to $359.4 million, while funded backlog totaled about $1.09 billion, with most expected to turn into revenue by fiscal 2027.

AeroVironment, Inc. disclosed that it issued a press release announcing its second quarter fiscal 2026 results for the period ended November 1, 2025.

AeroVironment, Inc. reported that its Board of Directors approved and made effective the company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Bylaws on November 20, 2025. The changes add a right-to-cure process for certain deficiencies in stockholder director nomination notices, giving stockholders a chance to fix specific issues with their submissions.

The amendments also clarify who can change stockholder meeting timing. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting, and the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or the Board may do the same for any special meeting. The bylaws further update notice provisions to reflect current Delaware law and practice, revise advance notice requirements for stockholder nominations and other business, allow directors to hold special meetings on less than forty-eight hours’ notice when needed, and add a severability clause so other bylaw provisions remain effective if one part is found invalid.
