Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 13, 2026, HawkEye 360, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. A copy of this press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 2.02, and Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any incorporation language in such a filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events
In connection with the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the common stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), all of the Company’s officers, directors, and substantially all of the Company’s holders of outstanding Common Stock at the closing of the IPO were parties to market standoff agreements with the Company and entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters that restrict their ability to sell or transfer their shares of Common Stock, or otherwise engage in certain transactions related to their shares of Common Stock, for a period of 180 days after May 6, 2026, subject to certain exceptions. Such period is referred to as the “Lock-Up Period”.
Pursuant to the lock-up agreements with the underwriters, if the Lock-Up Period would otherwise be scheduled to end during, or within five trading days prior to, a regularly-scheduled blackout period under the Company’s insider trading policy, and such date is more than 100 days following May 6, 2026, then the Lock-Up Period will instead end on the date that is ten trading days prior to the commencement of such regularly-scheduled blackout period (the “Conditional Early Termination Date”); provided, however, that the Company shall announce the Conditional Early Termination Date through a major news service, or on a Form 8-K, at least two trading days in advance of the Conditional Early Termination Date.
The Lock-Up Period is scheduled to end at the close of business on November 2, 2026, which falls within the Company’s quarterly blackout period. Therefore, under the lock-up agreements, all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the lock-up agreements will be automatically released at the close of business on the tenth trading day immediately prior to the beginning of the blackout period. Ten trading days immediately prior to the beginning of the Company’s next quarterly blackout period is September 1, 2026. As a result, on September 2, 2026, all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the lock-up agreements will become eligible for sale in the public market (subject to applicable trading limitations on shares held by affiliates of the Company, continued vesting of any unvested equity awards as of such date, and the Company’s insider trading policies). This Form 8-K is intended to satisfy the notice requirements set forth in the lock-up agreements.

HawkEye 360 Announces Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue of $49.8 million, up 87% compared to the prior-year period of $26.6 million
Achieved record international revenue of $21.0 million, up 134% compared to the prior-year period
Successfully closed an initial public offering (“IPO”) in May 2026, raising $437.5 million in net proceeds
Backlog of $292.2 million as of June 30, 2026
HERNDON, VA., – August 13, 2026 – HawkEye 360, Inc. (NYSE: HAWK) ("HawkEye 360" or "the Company"), a global leader in signals intelligence data and analytics, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
"Our second quarter results reflect HawkEye 360's continued growth as a premier defense technology company and the strength of demand for our RF signals intelligence solutions, as governments around the world increasingly prioritize space-enabled intelligence, surveillance and electronic warfare capabilities." said Chief Executive Officer John Serafini. "We delivered another quarter of strong revenue growth, including record international revenue, reflecting the acceleration of our business model and increasing adoption of our RF signals intelligence solutions among defense, intelligence and allied government customers worldwide, particularly in areas of geopolitical tension where high-quality signals intelligence is exceptionally valuable.”
Mr. Serafini continued, "We are seeing great momentum across the business heading into the back half of the year, with strong tailwinds from growing global demand for space-based RF intelligence. Our next phase of constellation growth with Clusters 15 and 16, and our first cluster of Block 3 Kestrel satellites, are expected to further expand our collection capacity and global coverage. Additionally, we are seeing the benefits of our integration with ISA’s algorithms which have enhanced our processing latency and military radar product solutions with greater automation. With this momentum, HawkEye 360 is well positioned to capitalize on the growing importance of RF intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities in today's evolving global security environment. We continue to invest meaningfully in our best-in-class signals intelligence platform, exceptional team, and differentiated go-to-market capabilities to drive profitability and shareholder value."
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights:
•Revenue of $49.8 million, up 87% compared to the prior-year period of $26.6 million.
•Achieved record international revenue of $21.0 million, up 134% compared to the prior-year period of $9.0 million.
•Recorded a net loss of $15.3 million, compared to net income of $1.6 million in the prior year period.
•Realized Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, of $7.0 million, compared to $7.8 million in the prior-year period.
•Recognized net cash provided by operating activities of $11.6 million and Free Cash flow, a non-GAAP metric, of $5.4 million, compared to $4.6 million and $(1.3) million, respectively, in the prior-year period.

•Successfully closed an IPO in May 2026, raising $437.5 million in net proceeds.
Second Quarter 2026 and Recent Business Highlights:
•Announced a multi-year contract to provide the Indian Navy and regional partner nations with the Company’s space-based RF data and analytics to enhance maritime domain awareness across the Indian Ocean Region. The award expands the Company's support of the Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness initiative and further demonstrates growing international adoption of HawkEye 360's RF intelligence capabilities.
•Demonstrated commercial-enabled track custody alongside Lockheed Martin during Valiant Shield 2026, a U.S. Pacific Command biennial field training exercise, achieving record latency speeds, validating the Company’s ability to tactically enable the warfighter in real operational conditions, an early step toward supporting missions that require precise, continuously updated location data to guide long-range weapons systems.
•Announced that ISA, was selected by the U.S. Space Force's Space Rapid Capabilities Office for a Small Business Innovation Research Direct-to-Phase II award to develop an adaptable radar-warning sensor payload to enhance space domain awareness in geosynchronous orbit.
•Achieved Full Operational Capacity for the Company's Cluster 14 satellites, launched in March 2026, completing the shortest commissioning period in HawkEye 360's history and further expanding the Company's space-based signals intelligence constellation and collection capacity to support growing defense, maritime and national security customer missions worldwide.
•Announced a contract award from NASA's Commercial Crew and Commercial Low Earth Orbit Development Programs to supply the Company's RFIQ™ data product in support of research on resilient, secure space-to-space communications for future commercial spacecraft missions.
•Entered into a new $125.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in May 2031, enhancing liquidity and financial flexibility to support continued investment in the Company's space-based RF data and analytics platform, constellation expansion, product innovation and broader strategic growth initiatives.
Full Year 2026 Outlook
For full-year 2026, the Company expects total revenue of between $215.0 million and $220.0 million, and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of between $30.0 million and $36.0 million.
The Company has not reconciled its non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because certain reconciling items, such as stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and depreciation and amortization, are uncertain or out of the Company’s control and cannot be reasonably predicted. The actual amount of these expenses will have a significant impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company reports Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation and amortization, as well as significant non-cash
and/or non-recurring expenses that are not considered part of the Company's operations and revenue-generating activities, or are nonrecurring or infrequent in nature. Management believes these items are not useful in evaluating the Company’s core operating performance. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense; acquisition-related costs, one-time costs related to the IPO, settlements, net of related legal expenses, changes in fair value of contingent and deferred consideration, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, and gains or losses on extinguishment of debt. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of satellites, property, and equipment.
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow in conjunction with other GAAP measures to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies, make strategic decisions, and communicate with its board of directors and investors concerning its financial performance. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess its financial performance because they allow the Company to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of its capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense and income), asset base (such as depreciation and capital expenditures) and other items (such as non-recurring or non-cash costs) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period.
The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors and analysts in assessing its financial performance and results of operations across reporting periods by excluding items it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. Net Income (Loss) is the U.S. GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is the U.S. GAAP measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are presented below under the headings "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA" and "Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow.” The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. You are encouraged to evaluate each of these adjustments and the reasons management considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in such presentation. The Company’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. The Company may modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow in the future, and any such modification may be material. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in the Company’s industry and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
Other Key Metric
Backlog is a key measure of the Company’s business. The Company’s backlog supports predictable revenue expansion through a recurring model, enabling forward revenue visibility. Management uses backlog to more effectively forecast the Company's future business and results, which supports decisions around capital allocation. It also helps the Company identify future growth or operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. The Company also believes backlog is useful for investors in forecasting the Company's future results and understanding the growth of its business.
The Company’s backlog represents the portion of legally binding contracts that are expected to result in future revenue. Backlog may also include change orders for any contracts that have been formally contracted. This includes firm contracts that contain remaining performance obligations, including the cancellable portion of the contract value for contracts that provide the customer with a right to terminate for convenience without incurring a substantive termination penalty. Backlog also can include up to the remaining ceiling on single award IDIQ contracts where no task orders have been issued. Backlog excludes the value of unexercised options to extend contracts, the value of multi-award IDIQ contracts, and the value of any contracts, or a portion
thereof, where management deems execution to be unlikely to result in revenue due to customer-specific or other factors.

All statements contained in this press release other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding the Company's liquidity and financial flexibility, the Company’s financial outlook for the year ended December 31, 2026, the Company’s expected constellation growth and increased collection capacity, the Company’s expanding international presence, the Company continuing to scale the business and growing customer demand, are forward-looking statements and represent the Company's views as of the date of this press release. The words "will," "expects," "plans," "could," "would," "believes," "anticipates," "intends," "may," "continue," "estimate," or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that the Company believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of assumptions and risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond the Company's control that could affect its financial results. These risks and uncertainties are detailed in the sections titled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 14, 2026, and other filings that the Company makes from time to time with the SEC, which are available on the SEC's website at sec.gov. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for management to predict all risks, nor can the Company assess the impact of all factors on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements the Company may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this press release may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, the Company is under no obligation to update these forward-looking statements subsequent to the date of this press release, or to update the reasons if actual results differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
