Release – Kratos Completes Critical Design Review for Space Development Agency’s Advanced Fire Control Ground Infrastructure (AFCGI) System

Research News and Market Data on KTOS

February 26, 2026

PDF Version

Successfully integrated and validated systems across a complex, multi-partner ground architecture

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS), a technology company in Defense, National Security and Global Markets, has successfully completed the Critical Design Review (CDR) for the Space Development Agency’s Advanced Fire Control Ground Infrastructure (AFCGI) system. Kratos’ completion of the CDR with zero liens allows the program to continue an accelerated schedule and remain aligned with anticipated launch dates.

Kratos completed the AFCGI CDR only eight months after the program’s Preliminary Design Review, which itself was finished in just five months from contract award, underscoring the company’s ability to advance complex systems on a rapid timeline.

In 2024 Kratos was awarded a $116.7 million prime contract for the Advanced Fire Control Ground Infrastructure (AFCGI) program. AFCGI integrates advanced software, resilient ground systems and secure networks into a unified, operational cloud architecture supporting real-time fire control missions. The system delivers immediate, mission-relevant advantages to the warfighter. Achieving zero liens at CDR confirms that key technical risks, design challenges and open items have been fully resolved, enabling the program to proceed into implementation without material constraints.

Greg Caicedo, Senior Vice President of Kratos Space, said, “Completing the critical design review ahead of schedule highlights Kratos’ ability to deliver advanced, software-driven systems faster than traditional development models, enabled by our OpenSpace ground architecture. Kratos continues to invest in scalable, resilient capabilities that keep pace with operational and strategic demands.”

Kratos serves as the prime contractor for the AFCGI program, overseeing a multi-partner team responsible for delivering and operating ground segment capabilities for SDA’s Advanced Fire Control space vehicle demonstration systems. This includes management of a government-owned, contractor-operator (GOCO) demonstration environment and a secure cloud infrastructure supporting mission software and partner integration. Kratos’ scope spans program execution, systems engineering, integration, test, and ongoing operations across the full ground architecture. A key element of the program is the development of a Ground Resource Manager (GRM) for the FOO Fighter demonstration program (Fire-control On Orbit-support-to-the-war Fighter), designed to provide a scalable foundation for future Advanced Fire Control capabilities that may be incorporated into SDA’s Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture.

Backlog on December 28, 2025, included funded backlog of $1.232 billion and unfunded backlog of $341.4 million.

Full Year 2025 Results

Kratos reported its full year 2025 financial results, including Revenues of $1.347 billion, Operating Income of $25.6 million, Net Income of $22.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $119.9 million and a consolidated book to bill ratio of 1.1 to 1.0.

Included in the full year 2025 Net Income and Operating Income is non-cash stock compensation expense of $35.5 million, Company-funded Research and Development (R&D) expense of $40.0 million, including ongoing development efforts in our Space and Satellite Communications business to develop our first to market, virtual, software-based OpenSpace command & control (C2), telemetry tracking & control (TT&C) and other ground system solutions, and ongoing development efforts in our Unmanned Systems and Microwave Products businesses.

Kratos reported full year 2025 GAAP Net Income of $22.0 million and GAAP Net Income per share of $0.13, compared to $16.3 million and GAAP Net per share of $0.11, for the full year 2024. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.55 for the full year 2025, compared to $0.49 for the full year 2024.

Full year 2025 Revenues of $1.347 billion increased $210.5 million from 2024, reflecting 18.5 percent growth and 16.6 percent organic growth. Full year 2025 Cash Flow Used in Operations was $42.1 million, reflecting the working capital uses to fund revenue growth resulting primarily in increases in receivables, inventories, prepaid assets and investments in other assets and reduction of deferred revenues or advanced customer payments. Free Cash Flow Used in Operations was $125.4 million after funding $95.3 million of capital expenditures, and net of $12.0 million of proceeds from sale of Valkyrie units which were previously built as company owned assets and reflected as capital expenditures. Full year 2025 capital expenditures were elevated due primarily to the manufacture of the two production lots of Valkyries prior to contract award to meet anticipated customer orders and requirements and due to investments related to the expansion and addition of production facilities.

For full year 2025, KUS generated Revenues of $292.0 million, as compared to $270.5 million in the full year 2024, reflecting 7.9 percent organic growth, primarily reflecting increased Valkyrie and tactical drone activity. KUS’s Operating Income was $2.6 million in full year 2025 compared to $2.9 million in full year 2024. KUS’s Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2025 was $18.1 million, compared to full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $16.3 million, reflecting the increased volume partially offset by increased material and subcontractor costs on multi-year fixed price contracts.

For full year 2025, KGS Revenues of $1.055 billion increased $189.0 million, reflecting 19.3 percent organic growth from Revenues of $865.8 million in full year 2024. The increased Revenues includes organic revenue growth across all of our business units, with the most notable increases in our Defense Rocket Support, Microwave Products, and Space, Training and Cyber businesses, with organic revenue growth rates of 56.3 percent, 17.1 percent and 13.6 percent, respectively.

KGS reported operating income of $60.6 million in full year 2025 compared to $56.6 million in full year 2024, primarily reflecting the increased revenue volume. Full year 2025 KGS Adjusted EBITDA was $101.8 million, compared to full year 2024 KGS Adjusted EBITDA of $89.4 million, primarily reflecting the increased revenue.

Eric DeMarco, Kratos’ President and CEO, said, “We finished 2025 exceeding our financial objectives for the fourth quarter, generating approximately 20 percent Q4 year- over-year organic Revenue growth, generating a 1.3 to 1.0 book to bill ratio on top of this 20 percent organic growth, having a record backlog of $1.573 billion, and a record opportunity pipeline of $13.7 billion, with the opportunity set for Kratos having never been stronger and continuing to increase. Kratos is positioned to achieve our previously communicated 2026 and 2027 financial targets, and similar to 2025, for 2026 we expect our business to accelerate throughout the year, with increasing Revenue volume and Adjusted EBITDA margins, as several new programs, contracts and initiatives begin, ramp and expand.”

Mr. DeMarco continued, “Since our last report, the global National Security opportunity and funding environment for the industry and for Kratos has significantly improved, including the extended U.S. Federal Government shutdown being resolved, the Continuing Resolution being resolved, the 2026 NDAA being signed and the fiscal 2026 Defense Appropriations Bill being signed, bringing the total 2026 National Security related approved spend to approximately $1 trillion. There is a generational recapitalization of the defense industrial base underway due to the geopolitical and related global threat environment, one that we believe that Kratos is uniquely positioned to address. Rapidly manufacturing and delivering affordable military grade hardware, at scale, that must work every time, is hard, and our customers and partners recognize this as one of Kratos’ key differentiators.”

Mr. DeMarco went on, “We recently announced that our teammate Northrop Grumman received the MUX TACAIR Collaborative Combat Aircraft, or CCA, program award, with Kratos Valkyrie as the CCA aircraft, equipped with Northrop’s mission systems. Additionally, Kratos has now successfully received another tactical drone program of record contract award, and I believe that we are in a sole source position for two additional tactical drone program opportunities, including for Valkyrie. As a result of our progress and based upon expected future customer contractually required delivery schedules, we will be executing a plan in 2026 to increase our rate of production up to approximately 40 Valkyries annually by the end of 2027.”

Mr. DeMarco added, “We now have 120 Kratos Zeus and Oriole solid rocket motors on order, with deliveries of the SRMs to Kratos expected to begin in Q3 of this year and expected to ramp into 2027, and the SRMs are either under customer contract or are directly related to expected hypersonic or “other” vehicle system integration and launch efforts to be performed. Additionally, it was recently announced that Kratos was selected to develop a next generation, highly maneuverable hypersonic missile, with certain other non-traditional vendors. We are also hoping to receive an additional approximate $1 Billion hypersonic program related opportunity by the end of this year, which we believe will be sole source to Kratos as prime. Kratos’ hypersonic franchise is expected to be a primary driver of our expected future revenue growth.”

Mr. DeMarco concluded, “We believe that Kratos’ strategy and consistent business plan since inception, including making true internally funded investments ahead of government commitment, for facilities, manufacturing capability and relevant products for the warfighter, while not paying dividends or buying back our stock, are aligned with the current Administration and is an important differentiator for Kratos. I believe that due to the global threat environment, certain customers are out of time, have limited immediate resources, and that the significant investments that Kratos has made to be first-to-market with relevant systems, hardware and software are now invaluable. We believe that the scarcity value of Kratos is clear, and we are laser focused on our balanced business model of making investments, rapidly delivering affordable products and systems to the warfighter at scale, and generating a financial return for our investors.”

Financial Guidance
We are providing our first quarter and full year Base Case 2026 guidance, which includes our assumptions, including as related to: current forecasted business mix, expected employee sourcing, hiring and retention; potential manufacturing, production and supply chain disruptions; potential parts shortages and related continued significant cost and price increases in each of these areas, all of which are impacting the industry and Kratos. We are also making significant investments in bid, proposal and other new program opportunity areas, which are currently adversely impacting our profit margins. These investments are expected to continue at least into Kratos’ fiscal 2027, as our opportunity pipeline continues to increase.

Kratos’ operating cash flow guidance also assumes certain investments in our Rocket Systems and Unmanned Systems businesses, related to the procurement of rocket and related systems and our plan to begin producing approximately 40 Valkyries annually beginning by the end of 2027 as well as the completion of certain of our unmanned systems and related derivatives and vehicles. Additional forecasted investments in 2026 include our funding of the Prometheus joint venture established last year, our Anaconda radar program, our Helios hypersonic and arc chamber program, our Indiana hypersonic integration facility, our Birmingham advanced manufacturing facility for hypersonics, expansion and new microwave electronics facilities in Israel and the US, our GEK and BladeWorks engine facilities, the continued build of our second lot of 12 Valkyrie aircraft, and our Vulcan, Kraken, Elysium, Nemesis, Hermes and other initiatives. In summary, Kratos continues to make the required investments to support the rebuild of the U.S. defense industrial base and related infrastructure, take advantage of the ongoing generational recapitalization of strategic and other weapon and National Security related systems, and generate value for all Kratos stakeholders, including the warfighter and Kratos shareholders.

Our first quarter and full year Base Case 2026 guidance ranges, which includes the recently closed Nomad Global Communication Solutions acquisition, and a summary of the forecasted investments for new programs and opportunities are presented below.

For Kratos’ Base Case fiscal year 2026 forecast, we currently expect the first fiscal quarter to be the lowest in both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, including as a result of the extended U.S. Federal Government shutdown in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which impacted government contracting, program, administrative and other functions and offices. The impact of the shutdown, we believe, resulted in among other issues, the delay of certain “short turn” contract awards to Kratos, including certain expected software, data related and product sales, which typically generate higher than our normal profit margins. We believe the government shutdown also resulted in a delay in the award of certain longer-term contracts, programs and funding. With the government shutdown now over and the Department of War (DoW) and related Federal Agencies at full function again, we expect to receive these contract and program awards, sales and funding, beginning in our second quarter of 2026. The expected overall lower revenue in our first fiscal quarter is expected to result in lower Adjusted EBITDA, including as a result of the loss of financial leverage on certain of our fixed general, administrative, overhead, infrastructure, bid, proposal and other costs, with a more pronounced impact as we have expanded our infrastructure to support our growing businesses.

Also contributing to our expectation that Kratos second half of fiscal 2026 will have significantly higher Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA than the first half, we expect to begin to receive in the second half of 2026 certain long lead items related to existing customer funded programs, including solid rocket motors and other hardware related to certain hypersonic and other programs, hardware and components related to jet engine and propulsion system development and production, and hardware related to air defense, missile, radar and other National Security system production.

As a result of all of the above, we expect Kratos’ second quarter of fiscal 2026 to have somewhat increased Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA over our fiscal first quarter, and we expect Kratos’ second half of fiscal year 2026 Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and operating cash flow to be greater than our first half, as our Revenue increases, Adjusted EBITDA margins are expected to expand and contract funding is expected to increase. All financial forecasts provided today include the expected contribution from the recently closed acquisition of Nomad Global Communication Solutions, Incorporated.

We continue to expect Base Case Kratos’ full year 2026 organic revenue growth to be approximately 15 percent to 20 percent above our full year fiscal 2025 revenue financial forecast, which we previously provided in November 2025, and which we exceeded. We continue to expect Kratos’ Base Case full year 2027 organic revenue growth to be approximately 18 percent to 23 percent above the full year fiscal 2026 revenue forecast we provided today. We continue to expect Kratos’ full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA margin rates to be approximately 100 bps greater than our reported 2025 Adjusted EBITDA margin rates. And we continue to expect our current forecast 2027 Adjusted EBITDA margin rates to increase an additional 100 bps above 2026 Adjusted EBITDA margin rates. Kratos’ Base Case Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA forecasts do not include large scale production of Kratos Valkyrie or other tactical drone production, which will only be included once Kratos receives definitized customer delivery schedules that we can accurately forecast. Additionally, none of the above financial information includes the estimated impact from the pending Orbit Technologies Ltd acquisition, which financial information will only be included once the acquisition closes.

Management will discuss the Company’s financial results at a conference call beginning at 2:00 p.m. Pacific (5:00 p.m. Eastern) today. The call will be available at www.kratosdefense.com. Participants may register for the call using this Online Form.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Performance Metrics
This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including organic revenue growth rates, Adjusted EPS (computed using income before income taxes, excluding depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of capitalized contract and development costs, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and restructuring related items and other, which includes, but is not limited to, legal related items, non-recoverable rates and costs, and foreign transaction gains and losses, less the estimated impact to income taxes) and Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes, among other things, acquisition and restructuring related items, stock compensation expense, foreign transaction gains and losses, and the associated margin rates). Additional non-GAAP financial measures include Free Cash Flow from Operations computed as Cash Flow from Operations less Capital Expenditures plus proceeds from sale of assets and Adjusted EBITDA related to our KUS and KGS businesses. Kratos believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the Company’s available capital resources, the actual and forecasted operating performance of the Company’s business and the Company’s cash flow, excluding non-recurring items and non-cash items that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, in evaluating the Company’s actual and forecasted operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and investors should carefully evaluate the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial results. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. As appropriate, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and information reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP are included in this news release.

Another Performance Metric the Company believes is a key performance indicator in our industry is our Book to Bill Ratio as it provides investors with a measure of the amount of bookings or contract awards as compared to the amount of revenues that have been recorded during the period and provides an indicator of how much of the Company’s backlog is being burned or utilized in a certain period. The Book to Bill Ratio is computed as the number of bookings or contract awards in the period divided by the revenues recorded for the same period. The Company believes that the rolling or last twelve months’ Book to Bill Ratio is meaningful since the timing of quarter-to-quarter bookings can vary.

The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation with respect to the foregoing forward-looking non-GAAP measures in reliance on the “unreasonable efforts” exception set forth in SEC rules because certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated.

Research News and Market Data on KTOS

February 23, 2026

PDF VersionJoint team will complete preliminary design of the GEK1500 engine to meet high performance and aggressive cost targets, leveraging GEK800 maturation to accelerate delivery

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS), a leader in defense, national security and global markets, and GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE), today announced a joint U.S. Air Force contract for $12.4M to design a next generation engine for small Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). The initial phase of the program will complete the preliminary design of the GEK1500 engine to meet demanding performance requirements while achieving aggressive cost targets for affordable mass.

Stacey Rock, President of Kratos Turbine Technologies Division, said, “Building on the success of our GEK800 engine program, the development of the GEK1500 further demonstrates our team’s ability and commitment to deliver high-performance, affordable, jet engines that can be rapidly produced to meet the demands of our defense customers.”

“Lessons learned from recent GEK800 altitude testing are directly informing GEK1500 —improving thrust, power generation, and lifecycle cost — so we can meet CCA requirements without compromising affordability or schedule,” said Steve “Doogie” Russell, Vice President and General Manager of Edison Works at GE Aerospace.

The GEK1500 is a 1,500-lb thrust jet engine that could potentially power unmanned aerial systems (UAS), collaborative combat aircraft (CCAs), and missiles. The design of the GEK1500 leverages the GEK800 cruise missile engine architecture which is successfully completing technical maturation. An additional option on the contract, if exercised, would enable the team to assess key design risks and characterize engine performance under relevant flight and installation conditions for the GEK1500 engine. The Air Force has prioritized the development of high performing and low-cost engines to enable the disruptive capabilities of small CCAs.

Recent altitude testing of the GEK800 engine demonstrated critical technologies that will provide future systems increased range, increased thrust, decreased life cycle cost, and increased electrical power. The investments and progress made to date on the GEK800 will reduce the cost and schedule timelines for the GEK1500 and provide enhanced performance for small CCAs.

In June, Kratos and GE Aerospace announced the signing of a formal teaming agreement to advance propulsion technologies for the next generation of affordable unmanned aerial systems and CCA-type aircraft, covering the GEK800 and a framework for partnering on additional engines. The result is another formal teaming agreement covering the GEK1500. This collaboration strengthens the companies’ ongoing partnership and builds on a 2024 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to advance the development and production of small, cost-effective engines for unmanned platforms. The teaming agreement expanded on that MOU and provided the framework for the two companies to develop, manufacture, test, and field the GEK800 and additional GEK engines in higher thrust classes.

Kratos brings more than 25 years of experience developing and producing small, affordable engines for UAS, drones, and missile platforms. GE Aerospace adds a century of expertise in propulsion technology and the ability to scale advanced designs into high-rate production, helping bridge the gap from prototype to deployment.

Reinforcing the need for satellites and ground systems to escape legacy silos and work together in tandem, Luke Wyles, an analyst with Analysys Mason explained in a recent white paper that “in order to optimize the resource allocation on the Software-Defined Satellite (SDS), the network must be orchestrated, reconfiguring the space and ground segment in unison to meet changing demands.”

Bruno Dupas, Vice President of Kratos Space, said, “Kratos is integrating the ground system with Airbus’ mission and control platform to manage and monitor the satellite payload while intelligently orchestrating ground resources. This will enable SCT to dynamically plan spectrum, seamlessly coordinate payload configurations with ground assets, and do so far faster and in a more automated fashion than ever before.”

Kratos will deliver the ground segment that will include the capability to configure and monitor the satellite, optimize and setup the payload using integrated Airbus components, monitor the performance of the entire system from the satellite to the ground and orchestrate part of the operations. The implementation will include Ka-Band telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) antennas, monitor and control and carrier monitoring software, command, control and flight dynamics capabilities and the orchestration system. Leveraging its office in Oman, Kratos will also perform site surveys, install and commission equipment, deliver training and provide support for the delivery.
