DroneShield (ISIN AU000000DRO2) was trading at EUR 1.04 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 4:07 p.m. CEST, while the company prepares for a leadership change involving Rebecca Lowde. The incoming chief financial officer starts on November 2, 2026, according to DroneShield.
Committed revenue reaches AUD 251.00 million
Lowde will replace Carla Balanco, who is leaving after more than eight years with DroneShield. The appointment comes as the counter-drone specialist scales operations across military, government, law enforcement and critical infrastructure markets.
Committed fiscal 2026 revenue reached AUD 251.00 million as of September 8, 2026, within the company's AUD 250.00 million to AUD 270.00 million outlook, Unmanned Airspace reported on September 10, 2026. The company also had AUD 46.00 million of committed revenue for fiscal 2027 and beyond, giving the order book visibility beyond the current reporting year.
Revenue growth meets a weaker bottom line
The latest reported half-year figures show the central tension for investors. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, rose 74.00 percent year over year to AUD 125.80 million from AUD 72.30 million, while recurring revenue increased 229.00 percent to AUD 11.50 million, according to Capital.com.
Profitability moved in the opposite direction during the same period. Underlying EBITDA changed from a profit of AUD 8.00 million to a loss of AUD 12.40 million, while statutory loss after tax reached AUD 32.20 million versus a profit of AUD 2.10 million a year earlier. Gross margin narrowed to 60.00 percent from 65.30 percent, making execution and cost control important counterweights to the stronger sales pipeline.
