22 Dec 25. ZeroAvia today announced that it has completed a further round of financing, led by Barclays Climate Ventures, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Ecosystem Integrity Fund, Horizons Ventures, Summa Equity, and AP Ventures, with participation from the National Wealth Fund and the Scottish National Investment Bank. With additional investment secured, ZeroAvia has extended its cash runway for the next two years and will continue to fully industrialize its hydrogen power and propulsion technology for the aviation and defense markets. The company is already supplying its SuperStack Flex modular fuel cell power generation system to the defense sector, and there is increasing interest in the systems for unmanned aerial vehicles. The dual-use potential is strong: ZeroAvia is also in active customer discussions with eVTOL and fixed-wing commercial players in relation to deploying the compact, lightweight, flexible systems. The SuperStack Flex can enable both electric propulsion and enhanced on-board electrical power generation with greater power density than battery systems. It unlocks all of the benefits of electrical operation – lower thermal and noise signatures, reduced maintenance costs, enhanced reliability and zero-emissions – and with significantly enhanced endurance. With Design Organisation Approval granted by the UK CAA in November, ZeroAvia is well positioned to deliver the first fuel cell systems for aviation with regulatory approvals. As well as a standalone power generation system with a wide variety of defense and civil applications, the SuperStack Flex is a core module of ZeroAvia’s first planned full hydrogen-electric powertrain, ZA600, designed for 10-20 seat commercial aircraft. With a prototype extensively flight tested, hundreds of engine orders in place with airline customers (including a launch customer), and funding in place to support the entry-in-service of 15 aircraft in Norway, ZeroAvia’s focus is now on pushing towards its first certification to support these opportunities.
Val Miftakhov, Founder and CEO, ZeroAvia, said: “The support shown in this investment to power the next phase for the company is a great vote of confidence in the company’s technology and roadmap. With this latest financing we are able to progress at pace on the most immediate market opportunities – such as the SuperStack Flex – which will enable us to derisk later stages of our roadmap.”

23 Dec 25. Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Firefly Aerospace Inc. (“Firefly” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FLY) and reminds investors of the January 12, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of ms of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Firefly had overstated the demand and growth prospects for its Spacecraft Solutions offerings; (2) Firefly had overstated the operational readiness and commercial viability of its Alpha rocket program; (3) the foregoing, once revealed, would likely have a material negative impact on the Company; and (4) as a result, the Offering Documents and Defendants’ public statements throughout the Class Period were materially false and/or misleading and failed to state information required to be stated therein.
Firefly conducted its August 7, 2025 IPO pursuant to the Offering Documents, selling 19.296m shares of common stock priced at $45.00 per share.
On September 22, 2025, Firefly reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, its first earnings report as a public company. Among other items, Firefly reported a loss of $80.3 m, or $5.78 per share, compared to $58.7 m, or $4.60 per share, for the same quarter in 2024. Firefly also reported revenue of $15.55 m, below analyst estimates of $17.25 m and down 26.2% from the same quarter in 2024. Significantly, Firefly reported revenue of only $9.2 m in its Spacecraft Solutions business segment, representing a 49% year-over-year decrease. On this news, Firefly’s stock price fell $7.58 per share, or 15.31%, to close at $41.94 per share on September 23, 2025. Less than one week later, on September 29, 2025, Firefly disclosed that “the first stage of Firefly’s Alpha Flight 7 rocket experienced an event that resulted in a loss of the stage.” Notably, Firefly CEO Jason Kim stated during the September 22, 2025 earnings call that the Company “expect[ed] to launch Flight 7 in the coming weeks.” Following on the heels of Firefly’s failed April 2025 Alpha rocket launch, the Alpha 7 test failure raised significant questions about Firefly’s ability to meet its commercial launch commitments and the viability of the Company’s technology. On this news, Firefly’s stock price fell $7.66 per share, or 20.73%, to close at $29.30 per share on September 30, 2025. The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not. Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Firefly’s conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
“Fiscal 2025 was another transformational year for our entire organization, one highlighted by strong financial results and meaningful progress across our strategic priorities, consistent with our long-term value creation plan,” stated Shahram Askarpour, Chief Executive Officer of Innovative Aerosystems. “This year, we made targeted investments to drive sustainable, profitable growth, including the expansion of our Exton manufacturing facility, the strengthening of our engineering capabilities, enhancements to our sales organization, and advancements in our digital and data infrastructure. Today, we are introducing our longer-term target of $250m in revenue and 25-30% Adjusted EBITDA margin by fiscal 2029.”
“We ended the fiscal year on a strong note, with fourth quarter sales increasing 45% year-over-year to $22.2 m,” continued Askarpour. “The combined benefit of increased throughput from other client programs, a more favorable sales mix driving higher gross margins, and improved operating leverage resulted in fiscal fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $9.6m, an increase of 71.1% versus the prior year, together with a 670-basis point improvement in Adjusted EBITDA margin to 43% compared to the prior year.”
“Our industry-unique products and systems-integration expertise have positioned IA as a preferred partner in fleet modernization and retrofit programs,” continued Askarpour. “With in-house design, manufacturing, installation, and support capabilities, we deliver end-to-end solutions that reduce complexity and accelerate deployment for operators worldwide. A key driver of our next phase of growth is our new Liberty Flight Deck (LFD), a customer-centric, fully customizable design that can be tailored for most aircraft types, including large passenger and cargo planes, business aviation and military applications. In October 2025, at the National Business Aviation Association, we unveiled the LFD, which was well received by current and potential customers.”
“As we enter fiscal 2026, we’re well-positioned to benefit from the foundational investments we’ve made across the organization during the last three fiscal years,” concluded Askarpour. “Our team continues to execute at a high level, end-market trends remain favorable and our financial position is solid, all of which position us to deliver another year of profitable growth as we look to fiscal 2026. We are energized by the opportunities ahead of us and remain committed to advancing our long-term strategic initiatives, while maintaining a steadfast focus on creating value for our shareholders.”
STRATEGIC UPDATE
The IA Next value creation framework prioritizes profitable growth, sustained operational excellence, and disciplined capital allocation as key drivers of long-term value creation. This framework is the mechanism by which IA intends to achieve its long-term target of $250 m in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA margin of between 25% to 30%, which includes contribution from organic growth as well as strategic acquisitions. The Company’s strong fiscal 2025 results are early evidence of execution on these key strategic initiatives.
Key accomplishments during fiscal year 2025 and priorities for fiscal year 2026 are as follows:
Commercial Focus
- Corporate rebranding. In October 2025, Innovative Solutions & Support rebranded to Innovative Aerosystems (IA). The Company’s new brand identity reflects its focus on integrating advanced avionics with intelligent system designs to deliver innovative aerospace solutions. Innovative Aerosystems will continue powering progress for the world’s most prominent legacy fleets and next-generation platforms.
- Sustained sales growth. IA generated sales growth of 44.6% during fiscal fourth quarter 2025 compared to the same period in fiscal 2024, driven by a combination of investments in organic growth and contributions from recent acquisitions. The Company successfully integrated production of the F-16 platform into its Exton facility, as full-scale production commenced in early December. The completion of this transition is key to driving future growth and margin improvement from this important growth platform. During fiscal 2025, the Company made significant investments in its information technology systems and business processes to enhance support for defense customers. IA will continue to work to identify meaningful opportunities to further expand the Company’s military business.
- New product development. IA believes that its new Liberty Flight Deck, a customer centric customizable design that can be tailored for virtually any type of aircraft, including large passenger and cargo planes, business aviation, and military applications will be a key growth driver for the business over the coming years. Unique features within the LFD facilitate significant pilot workload reduction that we believe will eventually to lead to single crew operations in air transport (part 25) aircraft and full flight autonomy over time.
Operational Excellence
- Building a data-centric culture of efficiency. IA has made targeted investments in efficiency and automation to support improved operating leverage in the years ahead. IA recently completed the integration of its Netsuite ERP system, providing a platform to help efficiently scale the business.
- Improved operating leverage. During fiscal 2025, operating expenses represented 24.1% of sales, down from 34.4% of sales during the prior year, consistent with the Company’s focus on improved operating efficiency.
Disciplined Capital Allocation
- Focused capital discipline. IA maintained its focus on disciplined capital allocation throughout fiscal 2025, with continued investments in support of organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Based on the Company’s strong financial execution and expanded credit facility, IA is positioned to continue investing in support of its growth objectives.
- Opportunistic inorganic growth. IA’s disciplined acquisition strategy remains focused on acquiring aerospace and defense component product lines, businesses with significant aftermarket potential, and proprietary, competitively differentiated intellectual property that expand its capabilities within growing, high-value markets.
FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2025 PERFORMANCE
Fourth quarter revenue was $22.2 m, an increase of 44.6% compared to the same period last year driven by momentum in military programs and revenue synergies from acquired Honeywell product lines, as well as incremental revenues from recently acquired platforms.
Gross profit was $14.1m during the fourth quarter of 2025, up 64.8% from gross profit of $8.5m in the fourth quarter of last year. The improvement was driven by strong revenue growth and a more favorable revenue mix, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the Honeywell acquisitions and continued investments in growth initiatives.
Fourth quarter 2025 gross margin was 63.2%, up from 55.4% during the fourth quarter last year, as the Company benefitted from a more favorable sales mix.
Fourth quarter 2025 operating expenses were $5.8 m, compared to $4.2 m in the fourth quarter of last year, reflecting incremental expenses associated with Honeywell acquisitions, including $0.3 m of amortization expense and $1.3m in employee related costs to support the Company’s strategic goals.
Net income was $7.1m, or $0.39 per diluted share during the fourth quarter, compared to net income of $3.2m, or $0.18 per share in the fourth quarter of last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $9.6m during the fourth quarter, up from $5.6m in the fourth quarter of last year.
During the fourth quarter, the Company recognized a $1.8m gross benefit related to the Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”), a refundable payroll tax credit enacted under the CARES Act and subsequent legislation. The benefit relates primarily to qualifying wages paid during prior periods and was recognized upon confirmation of eligibility.
New orders in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were $27.2m and backlog as of September 30, 2025 was $77.4m. The backlog includes committed purchases and excludes additional orders from the Company’s OEM customers under long-term programs, including Pilatus PC-24, Textron King Air, Boeing T-7 Red Hawk, Boeing KC-46A and Lockheed Martin F-16.
BALANCE SHEET, LIQUIDITY AND FREE CASH FLOW
As of September 30, 2025, IA had total debt of $24.4m. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025, were $2.7m, resulting in net debt of $21.7m. Despite elevated capital expenditures during the fourth quarter of 2025 relating to the Exton facility expansion, net debt declined $1.0m during the quarter, reflecting strong operating results as well as disciplined financial management. As of September 30, 2025, IA had total available liquidity of $77.7m, including cash of $2.7 m and availability of $75m under its credit line.
Cash flow provided by operations was $13.3m during fiscal year 2025, compared to $5.8m last fiscal year. Capital expenditures, primarily the costs associated with the Exton facility expansion, during fiscal year 2025 were $6.5m, versus $0.7m in the year-ago period. Free cash flow was $6.8m during fiscal year 2025 versus $5.1m last fiscal year.
19 Dec 25. Kongsberg announces acquisition of Zone 5 for high-volume missile development and production. Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has announced the acquisition of California-based missile company Zone 5 as the company focuses on development and high-volume production of affordable missiles. Kongsberg has signed an agreement to acquire Zone 5 Technologies LLC, which designs and produces affordable, mass producible long-range strike and anti-drone missiles, for an undisclosed transaction amount. The acquisition of Zone 5 is expected to combine the high-performing Kongsberg portfolio and Zone 5’s high-volume assets to provide comprehensive and flexible systems that allow nations to manage complex defence scenarios.
“The acquisition of Zone 5 marks a significant strategic move for Kongsberg. Zone 5 is at the forefront of developing affordable missiles to be produced in high numbers,” said Kongsberg chief executive Geir Håøy.
Notable Zone 5 programs include US Air Force Extended Range Attack Munition, FAMM (Family of Affordable Mass Missiles), and the US Defence Innovation Unit for the flight testing of low-cost kill systems against larger drones.
“Zone 5 represents a strong match with Kongsberg’s ambitions of expanding our strike missile portfolio and developing Full Spectrum Air Defence capabilities, while further advancing our presence in the United States,” said Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace president Eirik Lie.
“We are impressed with how Zone 5 has been successful in bringing new technologies to the market in fierce competition with the rest of the industry, and we look forward to working with the Zone 5 team.”
Kongsberg will acquire 90 per cent of Zone 5, and the management team will remain as minority shareholders. Post-closing, Zone 5 will operate as an independent subsidiary. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
“Kongsberg shares Zone 5’s core values of an unwavering commitment to our customers, exceptionally engineered solutions, and valuing our employees who are the foundation of all we do,” said Zone 5 chairman, chief executive and CTO Thomas Akers.
“Our teams look forward to learning from one another as Zone 5 continues to efficiently scale its production capabilities, while remaining the innovative and disruptive growth platform that makes Zone 5 special.”
Late last year, the US government announced that Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace had been awarded a $240 m firm-fixed-price contract for the Joint Strike Missile for the US Air Force. (Source: Defence Connect)
