Equity Research Analyst

Preliminary Q3 ranges furnished; material update, but direction unclear. Watch final release and call on November 13, 2025.

Rekor furnished preliminary, unaudited ranges for Q3 revenue, gross margin, and Adjusted EBITDA under Item 2.02 and 7.01. Because it is "furnished" and not "filed," it is not subject to Section 18 liability. Adjusted EBITDA is a non‑GAAP metric and typically excludes items that can affect comparability. The company also set the date for its full results and conference call on November 13, 2025.

Preliminary figures can change once the quarter is fully closed and reviewed. Gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA depend on revenue mix and cost recognition, which can shift between preliminary and final reports. Non‑GAAP metrics require context and reconciliation to GAAP to assess quality of earnings. The absence of detailed figures here limits interpretation until the full release.

Key items to watch on November 13, 2025: final revenue, gross margin, and Adjusted EBITDA versus the preliminary ranges; GAAP results and reconciliations; any commentary on drivers of margin and expense timing. Also monitor any differences between furnished preliminaries and the finalized numbers, which would indicate closing adjustments.
