Factors Shaping ONDS Q3 Results
Continued momentum in the Ondas Autonomous Systems (“OAS”) business division is likely to have buoyed the top-line performance. In the second quarter of 2025, ONDS’ revenues jumped more than 500% year over year to $6.3 million, driven almost entirely by OAS, which contributed $6.1 million compared with just $0.3 million a year earlier. The OAS had a backlog of $22 million at the end of the second quarter.
Ondas Holdings is expanding its footprint with new defense and homeland security customers across Europe, the Middle East and the United States. ONDS has been witnessing growing traction for both its Optimus System and Iron Drone Radar system and expects the Mistral partnership to boost U.S. government adoption of these two platforms.
The company’s recent partnership and investment in Rift Dynamics represents a key step toward localization efforts and capability expansion across European defense markets. Rift’s Wasp platform (a modular, low-cost, mass producible drone platform) complements Ondas Holdings' Optimus and Iron Drone Raider, boosting OAS’ defense portfolio. ONDS expects this partnership to help it gain share in the growing $1 billion-plus market for one-way attributable drones highlighted in the One Big Beautiful Bill and in ongoing “Replicator-2” initiatives.
In October, ONDS expanded the Rift partnership to include NammoRaufoss AS, which is a provider of advanced munitions. Nammo has a solid manufacturing presence in the United States. As part of the deal, both companies will team up on a fully integrated Wasp drone with munition payloads and this will be sold entirely by Ondas Holdings' American Robotics in the United States.
In September, ONDS launched Ondas Capital. This new business division is solely focused on boosting the deployment of unmanned/autonomous systems to Allied defense and security markets.
Looking ahead, Ondas Holdings expects revenues for the full year to be at least $25 million, with at least $20 million coming from the OAS business unit. Management anticipates second-half bookings to surpass the $23 million attained in the first half, resulting in continued backlog expansion into 2026.
Nonetheless, heavy dependence on the OAS division for revenue growth in the increasingly crowded drone space is a concern.
If a single large customer delays, reduces or cancels, revenues would decline materially. Management acknowledged that revenues will fluctuate from quarter to quarter for OAS as it expands its client base. Moreover, revenues will vary as these customers enter fleet programs and recurring service agreements.While OAS dominates near-term revenues, Ondas Networks continues to build long-term value as a foundational enabler for next-generation rail communications.
Update on Inorganic Expansion
