Company Comments on Outlook for 2026

The Company today commented on its business outlook for 2026. The Company's outlook is based on the current indications for its business, which may change at any time. The Company expects total revenues in 2026 to be between $172 to $178 million, reflecting growth of approximately 18% to 22% year-over-year. The Company expects ending ARR at December 31, 2026 to increase to approximately $145 to $150 million, reflecting growth of approximately 20% to 25% year-over-year. The Company continues to expect ARR growth to exceed total revenue growth as previously disclosed changes to the Company's selling model and pricing continue to reshape contractual revenue recognition toward a higher mix of recurring revenue and reduced one-time revenue. The Company currently expects approximately 50% of the Company's new unit deployments in 2026 to be delivered under the Company's pure subscription model, with the remaining 50% deployed through the Company's purchase-subscription model. The Company expects to deliver positive full year Adjusted EBITDA(1) in 2026 with Adjusted EBITDA(1) margins in the high single digits.

(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 (loss) 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, loss on impairment of intangible asset, 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 leased 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 Securities and Exchange 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, loss on impairment of intangible asset, 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 impairment of intangible asset, 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, which management believes provides a more meaningful representation of operating results. 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, loss on impairment of intangible asset, 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. 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.

The forward-looking statements in this press release and related presentation materials are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the amount of insurance reimbursements expected to be received for defense costs for counsel and consultants in connection with the securities litigation and related Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and Department of Justice matters, and the following: our history of losses and ability to reach profitability; our reliance on reseller partners; expectations regarding the Company's strategies and future financial performance, including its future business plans or objectives, prospective performance and opportunities and competitors, revenues, products and services, pricing, operating expenses, market trends, liquidity, cash flows and uses of cash, capital expenditures; our ability to renew customer contracts, our ability to renew customer contracts at terms favorable to the Company, the Company's reliance on third party contract manufacturing and distribution, and a global supply chain; the Company recognizes a substantial portion of its revenue ratably over the term of its agreements, and, as a result, downturns or upturns in sales may not be immediately reflected in its operating results; the rate of innovation required to maintain competitiveness in the markets in which the Company competes; the competitiveness of the market in which the Company competes; the failure of our products to detect threats could result in injury or loss of life, which could harm our brand, reputation, and results of operations; the loss of designation of our Evolv Express(R) system as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology under the Homeland Security SAFETY Act; risks related to our business model, which is predicated, in part, on building a customer base that will generate a recurring stream of revenues through the sale of our subscription contracts; the ability for the Company to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce the Company's intellectual property rights and use of "open source" software; the concentration of the Company's revenues on a single solution; the Company's ability to timely design, produce and launch its solutions, the Company's ability to invest in growth initiatives and pursue acquisition opportunities; the limited liquidity and trading of the Company's securities; risks related to existing and changing tax laws; geopolitical risk and changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; operational risk; risks related to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and our remediation plans; risks related to increasing attention to and evolving expectations for sustainability initiatives; the impact of

fluctuating general economic and market conditions and reductions in spending; the need for additional capital to support business growth, which might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all; and litigation and regulatory enforcement risks, including the diversion of management time and attention and the additional costs and demands on resources. These and other important factors discussed in our most recent report on Form 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. The forward-looking statements in this press release and related presentation materials are based upon information available to us as of the date hereof, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, it may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

You should review this press release and the documents that we reference in this press release and related presentation materials with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. 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.
