UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit 99.1 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Redwire Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 5, 2026.
Introduction
On January 20, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended on February 3, 2025, and June 9, 2025, the “Merger Agreement”) with Edge Ultimate Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Ultimate Holdings”) to acquire 100% of the equity interests in Redwire Defense Tech Intermediate Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (f/k/a Edge Autonomy Intermediate Holdings, LLC) (“Edge Autonomy”), a leading provider of field-proven uncrewed airborne system (“UAS”) technology (the “Edge Acquisition”).
On June 13, 2025 (the “Acquisition Date”), following the satisfaction of all regulatory approvals, including a stockholder vote, the acquisition was completed. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, a subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Edge Autonomy Intermediate Holdings, LLC, the parent company of Edge Autonomy, with Edge Autonomy Intermediate Holdings, LLC as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). On the same day, the merger consideration was transferred, including $160 million in cash (“Cash Consideration”) and the issuance of 49.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock (“Equity Consideration”). Common stock was held back from the Equity Consideration to fund post-closing purchase price adjustments, if any, in the amount of $5.0 million, valued at a price per share of $15.07. The Company funded the Cash Consideration using cash on hand and proceeds from its indebtedness resulting from the issuance of $90 million new term loan debt and $100 million seller note financing.
Redwire’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 includes the consolidated results of Edge Autonomy from June 13, 2025.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, which is derived from Redwire's historical consolidated financial statements as included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026, which are incorporated by reference, and Edge Autonomy's historical consolidated financial statements for the pre-acquisition period of January 1, 2025 through June 13, 2025 (“Pre-acquisition Period”), as provided by Edge Autonomy, which are not required to be included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, has been prepared in accordance with Article 8 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X, and is presented as follows:
•The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025, was prepared based on (i) the audited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) of Redwire for the year ended December 31, 2025, and (ii) the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) of Edge Autonomy for the Pre-acquisition Period.
An unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has not been presented as the acquisition of Edge Autonomy is reflected in Redwire’s historical balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, included in the filing on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is incorporated by reference.
The historical financial statements of Redwire and Edge Autonomy have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to events which are necessary to account for the Merger and debt financing in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The acquisition was treated as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with Redwire as the accounting acquirer and Edge Autonomy as the accounting acquiree. Per guidance from ASC 805, the total consideration was allocated to Edge Autonomy’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the Acquisition Date. Any differences between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded as goodwill. Certain values remain preliminary and could be revised as a result of additional information obtained regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including, but not limited to, certain working capital items and residual goodwill. The final determination of the fair values, purchase consideration, related income tax impacts and residual goodwill will be completed as soon as practicable, and within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date as permitted under U.S. GAAP. Any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period will be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment is determined.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not proport to represent what the combined company’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the Merger been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the combined company’s future results of operations or financial position for any future period. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the acquisition and debt financing, which includes the following specific adjustments:
•Certain reclassifications to conform Edge Autonomy’s historical financial statement presentation to Redwire’s presentation;
•Application of the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of ASC 805 and to reflect estimated consideration of approximately $1,025 million;
•Proceeds and uses of the debt financing entered into in connection with the acquisition.
In accounting for the acquisition, Redwire performed a detailed review of Edge Autonomy’s accounting policies. As a result of that review, Redwire did not identify differences between the accounting policies of Redwire and Edge Autonomy that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the combined company. At this time, Redwire is not aware of any significant accounting policy differences other than the adjustments described in Note 3 below. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect any cost or growth synergies that the combined company may achieve as a result of the Merger, or the costs to combine the operations of Redwire and Edge Autonomy, or the costs necessary to achieve these cost or growth synergies.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are prepared in accordance with Article 8 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
Both Redwire and Edge Autonomy historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and presented in U.S. dollars.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with Redwire treated as the accounting acquirer for the Merger. Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their merger closing date fair value, while transaction costs associated with a business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of merger consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 is presented as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2025.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any anticipated synergies or dis-synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the Merger and integration costs that may be incurred. The pro forma adjustments represent Redwire’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that Redwire believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Redwire is not aware of any material transactions between Redwire and Edge Autonomy during the periods presented. Accordingly, adjustments to eliminate transactions between Redwire and Edge Autonomy have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are those set out in Redwire’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Management is currently not aware of any significant accounting policy differences and, therefore, has not made any adjustments to the pro forma condensed combined financial information related to these potential differences other than the adjustments described in Note 3 below.
Note 3 – Reclassification Adjustments
Certain reclassifications are reflected in the pro forma adjustments to conform Edge Autonomy’s financial statement presentation to Redwire’s in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported income of Redwire or Edge Autonomy.
The following reclassification adjustments were made to conform Edge Autonomy’s financial statement presentation to Redwire’s:
