Full Summary

DroneShield Limited (ASX:DRO) has announced that it has received a package of three standalone follow-on contracts for $61.6 million from its privately owned in-country European reseller that is contractually required to distribute the products to a European military customer. The contracts are for handheld detection and counterdrone systems and associated accessories. DroneShield expects to deliver all equipment throughout Q3 2025, with cash payment expected in Q3 and Q4 2025. No additional material conditions need to be satisfied. This is the biggest single order in DroneShield's history and is larger than the company's entire revenue for 2024 ($57.5m). DroneShield's recent production and inventory holding expansion means that this order is expected to be fully delivered within the quarter. Over the past 24 months, DroneShield's reseller involved in this package of contracts has progressively increased DroneShield orders from single evaluation units to multi-million dollar contracts, with all imports, deliveries, and payments handled on-time and in a highly professional manner. DroneShield had previously received a single contract from this reseller for this specific customer in April 2024 totalling approximately $0.5 million. There is no obligation for any additional contracts from this reseller or the customer.

Guidance

This $61.6 million contract is expected to be delivered in Q3 2025, with payments in Q3 and Q4 2025.

Outlook

DroneShield is well placed to meet the increasing demand for its products as leading military customers are moving from testing hardware to broader rollouts.
