AeroVironment, a leading provider of innovative defense technology solutions, has reported record-breaking financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2025. The company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Wahid Nawabi, highlighted the impressive performance on the recent earnings conference call, citing double-digit organic revenue growth and significant increases in profitability.
The company achieved a record fiscal year revenue of $821 million, representing a 14% increase over the prior year period. Furthermore, the fourth quarter revenues reached an all-time high of $275 million, a 40% increase from the previous year. This remarkable performance was fueled by robust demand for AeroVironment's innovative and battle-proven solutions.

The funded backlog also increased significantly, reaching $726 million, an 82% rise from the previous fiscal year. This demonstrates AeroVironment's ability to secure substantial commitments from customers for future deliveries.
The acquisition of BlueHalo in fiscal year 2025 further strengthened AeroVironment's position as a leader in the next-generation defense tech prime market. With an all-domain portfolio of innovative solutions across air, land, sea, space, and cyber, the company is now better equipped to meet the evolving needs of its customers.
AeroVironment has consistently demonstrated its ability to innovate and adapt to changing customer requirements. The introduction of three new groundbreaking products in fiscal year 2025 – the P550, the JUMP 20-X, and the Red Dragon – exemplifies the company's commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that address the highest priorities of its customers.
Wahid Nawabi emphasized AeroVironment's unique differentiators, which include its proven track record of delivering next-generation solutions with a proven ability to manufacture at scale. The company has invested nearly $2 billion in research and development over the past decade, enabling it to develop disruptive software-defined hardware solutions that meet the rising demands of its customers.
With a revenue guidance of $1.9 billion to $2 billion for fiscal year 2026, AeroVironment is poised for continued growth and success. As a testament to its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, the company remains well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of the defense industry.
