Rekor Systems Reports Record Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Company Achieves Third Consecutive Quarter of Positive Results

Highlights:

COLUMBIA, MD – November 13, 2025 – Rekor Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: REKR), a global leader in roadway intelligence, today announced record financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The third quarter represents the strongest performance in Rekor’s history, with the Company achieving new highs in revenue, margins, and operational efficiency.

Operational & Strategic Highlights

Rekor secured its largest statewide contract to date with GDOT. The contract accelerates the deployment of Rekor Discover® and the Data-as-a-Service business model, supporting GDOT's efforts to modernize traffic data collection, validation, and usage. It provides a smarter, safer, and more scalable way to monitor road conditions and enforce safety standards across the state. The full contract term could last up to eight years and is available for cooperative use by Georgia’s cities, counties, municipal planning organizations, and regional commissions through a procurement process that does not require separate competitive bids statewide. The contract is valued at a minimum of $50 million over the eight-year period and enables cooperative purchasing across numerous Georgia municipal and county agencies, with the potential to increase the total contract value to over $100 million during its term.

During the third quarter, three new states began using Rekor Discover®, further confirming its increasing role as the preferred platform for roadway data intelligence. Rekor Discover® continues to support the Company’s Data-as-a-Service growth strategy by allowing state and local transportation agencies to access real-time, high-quality traffic and infrastructure data without the burden of hardware ownership or maintenance. This expansion highlights Rekor’s ability to scale efficiently and expand its presence across the U.S. transportation network.

Executive Commentary

“This was a record-breaking quarter for Rekor,” said Eyal Hen, Rekor's Chief Financial Officer. “The Company is moving in the right direction, and these results confirm that Rekor’s model is scalable, resilient, and built for long-term profitability.”

“We’re seeing continued strength across our entire portfolio,” said Robert A. Berman, Rekor President and CEO. “Rekor Discover® and Rekor Command® are gaining significant traction in the market, and we’re now seeing transportation authorities issue new RFPs that combine both technologies. This confirms a clear industry shift toward integrated data and intelligence solutions — a direction Rekor helped define years ago.

Our Data-as-a-Service model has become a powerful growth engine, setting Rekor apart in the industry. Transportation agencies increasingly want fast, reliable access to actionable roadway data without the cost and complexity of owning and maintaining hardware. Combined with our most established platform, Rekor Scout™, these solutions are propelling the Company toward escape velocity and positioning Rekor for sustained, scalable growth.”

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Financial Results

This section highlights the changes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Revenues and Cost of Revenue, excluding Depreciation and Amortization

Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased compared to the corresponding periods in 2024, primarily driven by higher perpetual license sales during the third quarter of 2025.

Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased for both the three and nine-month periods compared to the prior year, mainly due to a favorable revenue mix, with a greater proportion of higher-margin software sales relative to hardware.

Adjusted Gross Margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, improved compared to the same periods in 2024, reflecting the increased contribution from software sales, which generally carry higher margins than service-based contracts. Adjusted Gross Margin typically fluctuates based on the mix of software and service revenue in any given period.

Adjusted Gross Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, improved primarily due to our revenue growth and a reduction in payroll and payroll-related costs as a result of cost containment efforts intended to conform to current operations. 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company calculates EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for (i) impairment of intangible assets, (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt, (iii) stock-based compensation, (iv) losses or gains on sales of subsidiaries, and (v) other unusual or non-recurring items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or cash flow from operating activities as indicators of our operating performance or as a measure of liquidity or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate a company’s ability to service and/or incur debt. However, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP measures.

The following table sets forth the components of the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods included (dollars in thousands):
