“We made meaningful progress across many key measures of the business in the third quarter—including subscribers, revenue, and annual recurring revenue, as well as important indicators of profitability and liquidity,” said John Kedzierski, President and Chief Executive Officer of Evolv Technology. “Through strong new customer acquisition and expanding deployments with existing customers, we continue to deliver real-world impact at scale—screening millions of visitors every day across over 1,000 customers.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $42.9 million, an increase of 57% compared to $27.4 million for the third quarter of 2024. Revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by strong new customer additions and continued expansion of deployments across the existing customer base.

1 We define Annual Recurring Revenue, or ARR, as subscription revenue and the recurring service revenue related to purchase subscriptions for the final month of the quarter normalized to a one-year period. Our calculation of ARR is not adjusted for the impact of any known or projected future events (such as customer cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, or price increases or decreases) that may cause any such contract not to be renewed on its existing terms. In addition, the amount of actual revenue that we recognize over any 12-month period is likely to differ from ARR at the beginning of that period, sometimes significantly. This may occur due to new bookings, cancellations, upgrades, downgrades or other changes in pending renewals, as well as the effects of professional services revenue and acquisitions or divestitures. As a result, ARR should be viewed independently of, and not as a substitute for or forecast of, revenue and deferred revenue. Our calculation of ARR may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.

2 Non-GAAP Financial Measures In this press release, the Company’s adjusted gross profit (loss), adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings (loss), and adjusted earnings per diluted share are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation, non-recurring employee restructuring and other separation costs, and non-recurring inventory charges, which management believes provides a more meaningful representation of contribution margin. Adjusted operating expenses is defined as operating expenses less stock-based compensation expense, loss on impairment of lease equipment, non-recurring employee restructuring and other separation costs, and other non-recurring legal and regulatory costs, which management believes provides a more meaningful representation of on-going operating expense levels. Other non-recurring legal and regulatory costs include non-recurring legal, accounting and professional fees related to the internal investigation, subsequent restatement, certain non-recurring regulatory, litigation and legal matters, as well as fees related to the resolution of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission investigation, net of estimated insurance recoveries. Adjusted operating income (loss), is defined as loss from operations, excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation, loss on impairment of leased equipment, non-recurring employee restructuring and other separation costs, non-recurring inventory charges, and other non-recurring legal and regulatory costs, which management believes provides a more meaningful representation of operating results. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest expense (income), provision for income taxes, change in fair value of contingent earn-out liability, change in fair value of contingently issuable common stock liability, change in fair value of public warrant liability, loss on impairment of leased equipment, loss on disposal of leased equipment, non-recurring employee restructuring and other separation costs, non-recurring inventory charges, and other non-recurring legal and regulatory costs. Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share are defined as net income (loss) plus stock-based compensation, amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation, change in fair value of contingent earn-out liability, change in fair value of contingently issuable common stock liability, change in fair value of public warrant liability, loss on impairment of leased equipment, non-recurring employee restructuring and other separation costs, non-recurring inventory charges, and other non-recurring legal and regulatory costs. Management presents non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the Company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management also believes non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company's financial and operating performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We intend to provide non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to Net Profit Margin, each measure's most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort, because items that impact these GAAP financial measures are not within the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items may include, but are not limited to, predicting forward-looking share-based compensation, changes in the fair value of contingent earn out liabilities, changes in the fair value of contingently issuable common stock liabilities and changes in fair value of public warrant liabilities. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company’s future financial results.

3 Recurring revenue includes the recurring portion of revenue associated with pure subscription contracts and hardware purchase subscription contracts. Non-recurring revenue includes revenue that is non-recurring in nature, such as product revenue, shipping revenue, and revenue from installation, training, and professional services.

These and other important factors discussed in our most recent report on From 10-Q or 10-K filed with the SEC could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this press release.

We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this press release and related presentation materials, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.
