  • Revenue Growth: The significant increase was fueled by the full-scale rollout of the Drone as a Service segment encompassing four acquisitions during the quarter combined with six existing business locations, and strong enterprise SaaS software license renewals
  • Asset Growth: Total assets grew to $78.5 million at the end of the quarter, up from $34.65 million on December 31, 2024, reflecting the continued impact of acquisitions and technology investments
