Management Commentary

“Q2 was fueled by growth across equipment and services, supported by strong defense demand and broader operating authorities,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace. “With national-scale BVLOS approvals and our Operations Command Centre enabling safe, efficient remote missions, we are converting more of our pipeline into repeatable programs. We strengthened liquidity, improved operating leverage, and ended the quarter with positive working capital. As we look to the balance of the year, our focus remains disciplined execution for enterprise and government clients and steady progress toward profitability.”

Strategic Outlook

Volatus continues to lean into a changing geopolitical backdrop and Canada’s historic commitment to higher defence spending. The Company is positioning to capture growing domestic demand across defence, public safety, and Arctic surveillance, while accelerating commercialization of proprietary systems. Investment in Canadian design, production, and secure supply chains underpins Volatus’ goal of building sovereign capacity aligned with national priorities.

The Company remains actively engaged with the Government of Canada and the Canadian Armed Forces on defence modernization, border protection, and Arctic sovereignty. Recent financing proceeds have been allocated to expand the defence segment, accelerate commercialization, and reinforce Volatus’ position as a national leader in aerial solutions
