Redwire Corporation Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results, Achieves Record Contract Backlog with Significant Gross Margin Improvement

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. / May 6, 2026 Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW, “Redwire” or the “Company”), a global leader in space and defense technology solutions, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“We continue to see very strong demand for our differentiated products with a Book-to-Bill1 ratio of 1.92 resulting in record Backlog1 of $498.1 million,” said Peter Cannito, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of Redwire. “Critical wins like the $1.8 billion Andromeda IDIQ for advanced spacecraft, our first order for ELSA, and follow-on orders with key customers like the Marine Corps for Stalker, to name a few, underscore our belief that Redwire is strategically positioned with many pathways to success across our mission-critical offerings.”

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

•Stalker continued integration efforts with the U.S. Army’s Next Generation Command and Control (“NGC2”) tactical network during the Ivy Sting exercises, further integrating the platform into the U.S. Army’s future concept of operations.

•Revenues increased 57.9% year-over-year to $97.0 million for the first quarter of 2026.

•Sequential and year-over-year improvement in gross margins to 26.6% for the first quarter of 2026.

While all financial projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, Redwire believes that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation.

The inclusion of financial projections, estimates and targets in this press release should not be regarded as an indication that Redwire, or its representatives, considered or consider the financial projections, estimates or targets to be a reliable prediction of future events. Further, inclusion of the prospective financial information in this press release should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. If underlying assumptions to forward-looking statements prove inaccurate, or if known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this press release, and Redwire disclaims any intention or obligation, other than imposed by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Persons reading this press release are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow.

Non-GAAP financial measures are used to supplement the financial information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We encourage investors and stockholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, transaction expenses, acquisition integration costs, acquisition earnout costs, purchase accounting fair value adjustment related to deferred revenue and inventory, severance costs, capital market and advisory fees, disposal of long-lived assets, litigation-related expenses, equity-based compensation,

Page 4

committed equity facility transaction costs, debt financing costs and extinguishment losses, gains on sale of joint ventures, net of costs incurred, and warrant liability change in fair value adjustment.

Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as revenues less cost of sales as computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting included in cost of sales and Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations as the calculation of these measures excludes the impact of certain non-recurring charges. Management believes that by using Adjusted Gross Margin in conjunction with GAAP Gross Margin, investors will get a more complete view of what management considers to be the Company’s core operating performance and allow for comparison of this measure when compared to those of prior periods.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before taxes, excluding, depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, transaction expenses, acquisition integration costs, acquisition earnout costs, purchase accounting fair value adjustment related to deferred revenue and inventory, severance costs, disposal of long-lived assets, equity-based compensation and gains on sale of joint ventures, net of costs incurred. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also excludes intra- and inter-segment sales and costs and corporate pushdown costs.

Free Cash Flow is computed as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures.

We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. We use Free Cash Flow as an indicator of liquidity to evaluate our period-over-period operating cash generation that will be used to service our debt, and can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities and/or acquisitions, among other uses. Free Cash Flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance, and it should not be inferred that the entire amount of Free Cash Flow is available for discretionary expenditures, since we have mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from this measure.

Key Performance Indicators

Management uses Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) to assess the financial performance of the Company, monitor relevant trends and support financial, operational and strategic decision-making. Management frequently monitors and evaluates KPIs against internal targets, core business objectives as well as industry peers and may, on occasion, change the mix or calculation of KPIs to better align with the business, its operating environment, standard industry metrics or other considerations. If the Company changes the method by which it calculates or presents a KPI, prior period disclosures are recast to conform to current presentation.

Defense Tech

1.62 0.27 1.70 0.71

Total book-to-bill ratio

1.92 0.92 1.54 0.90

Book-to-bill is the ratio of total contracts awarded to revenues recorded in the same period. The contracts awarded balance includes firm contract orders, including time-and-material contracts, awarded during the period and does not include unexercised contract options or potential orders under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts. Although the contracts awarded balance reflects firm contract orders, terminations, amendments, or contract cancellations may occur which could result in a reduction to the contracts awarded balance.

We view book-to-bill as an indicator of future revenue growth potential. To drive future revenue growth, our goal is for the level of contracts awarded in a given period to exceed the revenue recorded, thus yielding a book-to-bill ratio greater than 1.0.

Our book-to-bill ratio was 1.92 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 0.92 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, none of the contracts awarded balance includes acquired contract value.

Our book-to-bill ratio was 1.54 for the Last Twelve Months (“LTM”) ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 0.90 for the LTM ended March 31, 2025. For the LTM ended March 31, 2026, contracts awarded includes $73.7 million of acquired contract value from the Edge Autonomy acquisition, which was completed in the second quarter of 2025, and included in the Defense Tech segment. For the LTM ended March 31, 2025, contracts awarded includes $21.9 million of acquired contract value from the Hera Systems acquisition, which was completed in the third quarter of 2024, and included in the Space segment.

Backlog

The following table presents our contracted backlog as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and related activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2025.

(in thousands) March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025

Organic backlog, beginning balance $ 333,690 $ 296,652

Foreign currency translation (756) 510

Contracted backlog by segment:

Space

$ 359,716 $ 299,804

Defense Tech

138,366 111,442

We view growth in backlog as a key measure of our business growth. Contracted backlog represents the estimated dollar value of firm funded executed contracts for which work has not been performed (also known as the remaining performance obligations on a contract). Our contracted backlog includes $104.7 million and $81.0 million in remaining contract value from contracts which recognize revenue at a point in time as of March 31, 2026 and as of December 31, 2025, respectively.

Organic backlog change excludes backlog activity from acquisitions for the first four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition date. Contracted backlog activity for the first four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition date is included in acquisition-related contracted backlog change. After the completion of four fiscal quarters, acquired entities are treated as organic for current and comparable historical periods.

Organic contract value includes the remaining contract value as of January 1 not yet recognized as revenue and additional orders awarded during the period for those entities treated as organic. Acquisition-related contract value includes remaining contract value as of the acquisition date not yet recognized as revenue and additional orders awarded during the period for entities not treated as organic. Organic revenue includes revenue earned during the period presented for those entities treated as organic, while acquisition-related revenue includes the same for all other entities, excluding any pre-acquisition revenue earned during the period. The acquisition-related backlog activity presented in the table above is related to the Edge Autonomy acquisition completed during the second quarter of 2025.

Although contracted backlog reflects business associated with contracts that are considered to be firm, terminations, amendments or contract cancellations may occur, which could result in a reduction in our total backlog. In addition, some of our multi-year contracts are subject to annual funding. Management expects all amounts reflected in contracted backlog to ultimately be fully funded. Contracted backlog from foreign operations was $195.4 million and $193.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These amounts are primarily subject to foreign exchange rate translations from euros to U.S. dollars that could cause the remaining backlog balance to fluctuate with the foreign exchange rate at the time of measurement.
