Knightscope, Inc. (KSCP) reported preliminary, unaudited third-quarter 2026 consolidated revenue of approximately $8.7 million, up 177% from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2025. Revenue for the first nine months of 2026 was approximately $23.7 million, up 170% from $8.8 million in the same period of 2025; this was the company’s third consecutive quarter of triple-digit year-over-year revenue growth. Chairman and CEO William Santana Li also reported a corporate record of approximately $27 million in renewals, bookings and client awards, and said Knightscope launched its Autonomous Security Force at GSX 2026.
Management prepared the revenue estimates using currently available information. They remain subject to the company’s normal quarter-end closing and review procedures, and actual results may differ. Knightscope describes its managed-service model as combining autonomous machines, AI-driven software and licensed security agents as one accountable operation under one contract.
Knightscope, Inc. (KSCP) reported an operating metric of approximately $27 million in estimated renewals, bookings and client awards for the period from May 20, 2026 through September 18, 2026, spanning 109 contracts and awards across seven vertical markets. This total combines estimated contract value from existing client renewals and new client engagements, including multi-year agreements and written client awards.
Renewals are estimated at $19.6 million (72% of the total), while new business is estimated at $7.5 million (28%). The largest renewal is a three-year master services agreement with an estimated $17 million of services over its initial term, and the largest new engagement is a written award from a national retailer valued at approximately $5.8 million. Knightscope highlights demand from industrial, energy, security services, retail, higher education, critical infrastructure, healthcare, technology and federal healthcare clients, including a U.S. federal law enforcement agency and multiple Fortune 500 enterprises.
The company emphasizes that “renewals, bookings and client awards” is an internal operating metric, not revenue, backlog, or any GAAP financial measure. Actual services ordered may differ from estimates, awards may not convert into definitive contracts, and revenue will only be recognized as services are ordered and delivered over time.
