Knightscope Reports Q2 EPS of 90c, Revenue of $2.7M, Below Consensus

Knightscope reported Q2 EPS of $0.90, missing consensus of $1.18. Revenue was $2.7M, also below consensus of $3.02M. CEO William Santana Li attributed the results to supply chain constraints and stated that the company remains committed to cost management, operational improvements, and product innovation to drive long-term shareholder value.

Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP), a leading provider of autonomous security robots and emergency communication devices, reported its second-quarter 2025 financial results, which fell short of analyst expectations. The company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.90, missing the consensus estimate of $1.18, and revenue of $2.7 million, which was below the consensus forecast of $3.02 million [1].

The company's CEO, William Santana Li, attributed the underperformance to supply chain constraints, which impacted the delivery of emergency communication devices (ECD). However, he emphasized that the company remains committed to cost management, operational improvements, and product innovation to drive long-term shareholder value. Li also highlighted that the company's recurring autonomous security robot (ASR) service revenue continued to grow, increasing by 7% year-over-year [1].

Knightscope also reported a gross loss of $0.9 million, compared to $0.6 million in the same quarter last year, and an operating expense decrease of 14% year-over-year to $5.4 million. The company's cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025, stood at $8.2 million, an improvement of $5.6 million from the prior year, supported by disciplined cost controls and at-the-market equity sales (ATM Program). Subsequently, the company sold additional shares under the ATM Program, increasing its cash on hand to $24.2 million as of August 8, 2025 [1].

In addition to its financial results, Knightscope announced several strategic moves. The company signed a lease for a new 33,355 square-foot facility in Sunnyvale, California, more than doubling its footprint. This new headquarters will serve as the company's hub for engineering, manufacturing, and client support. Knightscope also reported that it has fully repaid its $3.0 million senior secured promissory note, eliminating the debt and strengthening its balance sheet [1].

Looking ahead, Knightscope expects near-term results to reflect continued investment in research and development, relocation and ramp-up costs associated with the Sunnyvale facility, and potential non-cash inventory write-offs from the inventory review. The company continues to actively manage its liquidity position and is positioning itself for both organic and inorganic growth [1].
