XTI Aerospace (NASDAQ:XTIA) Announces Earnings Results, Misses Expectations By $0.11 EPS

XTI Aerospace (NASDAQ:XTIA) announced its earnings results on Wednesday. The technology company reported ($0.45) EPS for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of ($0.34) by ($0.11), Zacks reports. XTI Aerospace had a negative net margin of 1,326.49% and a negative return on equity of 580.83%. The company had revenue of $18.92 million during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $14.50 million.

Here are the key takeaways from XTI Aerospace’s conference call:

• The company says the acquired Drone Nerds business is now its core engine, reporting roughly $121 million in pro forma 2025 revenue with >20% gross margins and positive cash flow.
• XTI is pursuing an expansion into domestic manufacturing and NDAA-compliant hardware and retained engineering, touch-labor and flight-control capabilities to target enterprise and defense customers.
• Management is actively bidding on approximately $150 million of contract value (with ~$1.5 billion potential production value), positioning XTI in Group 3–5 autonomous/defense drone programs, though wins are not guaranteed.
• The company has paused the TriFan VTOL program and stopped spending on it, reallocating capital to higher-priority drone and ADS initiatives, which reduces long‑term VTOL upside.
• Regulatory risk from the prospective DJI FCC restrictions could disrupt the market; XTI expects a phased transition but acknowledges uncertainty and must rely on brand diversification and future manufacturing to mitigate impact.
