Unusual Machines Issues Letter to Shareholders

CEO Allan Evans Shares Q2 2025 Highlights and Provides Strategic Insight into the Company’s Plans

ORLANDO, Florida – August 14, 2025 (ACCESSWIRE) – Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American: UMAC) (“Unusual Machines” or the “Company”), a manufacturer of NDAA compliant drones and drone components, today announced it filed its Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the second quarter of 2025 and provided the following letter to its shareholders from CEO Allan Evans.

Dear Shareholders,

This shareholder letter follows the completion of our second quarter of 2025. It has been another record revenue quarter. We closed a financing for $40M during the quarter and another $48.7M last month. We want to take this opportunity to provide context and deeper insights into our operations and what these represent for Unusual Machines’ future.

Operations Update

Unusual Machines revenue for the second quarter was about $2.12 million which represents a year over year increase for the quarter of approximately 51%. This is our best revenue quarter of all time for the fifth consecutive quarter and was achieved in spite of tariffs creating consumer hesitancy. This was driven by an increase in enterprise sales which represented approximately 31% of our Q2 revenue. We were also able to improve gross margins to 37% which represents our highest quarterly margins to date. We expect the increase in margin and enterprise sales to continue throughout 2025 and extend into 2026. I think GAAP results seem exaggerated as our net loss for the second quarter was approximately $6.9 million driven mostly from expenses related to equity compensation. After non-cash and non-recurring adjustments, our non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the second quarter was approximately $0.8 million (see Table 2).

Cash Position

We prioritize managing our cash position and cash flow. We started the second quarter with $5.0 million and finished the quarter with $38.9 million. We have subsequently raised and additional $44.9M after fees. The breakdown of the cash position change over the quarter (see Table 1) provides greater detail into our expenses. Total expenses were above expectations, as there were costs related to the financings. We still absolutely prioritize prudent spending and are seeking to get to cash flow positive in 2026.

Cap Table Changes

The financings have changed our capitalization table substantially. Unusual Machines now has 30.2 million of shares outstanding and will be approximately 31.1 million shares after we close Rotor Lab with no shareholder to our knowledge owning more than 9.9% of the total. We have over $81 million in cash (which includes the Q3 financing), and $0 in debt. Given the cash position, limited cash burn, improving revenues, and diversified shareholder base; we believe the company is in a very strong position to continue to grow quickly throughout the remainder of 2025.

Regulatory Impacts

The regulatory environment is dynamic. Tariffs have been implemented, paused, changed, and seemed to have settled into a more stable steady state. We were able to adjust to the tariffs in Q2 and with our onshoring push have been able to improve margins in spite of an increase in some overseas goods. Internally, Unusual Machines is placing larger inventory orders to reduce uncertainty and get better component pricing to offset tariff costs.

Externally, the regulatory environment is creating market conditions that strongly favor domestic drone companies. These impacts are likely to influence our business in ways we find challenging to model. While we expect to continue to see consumer sales growth, we expect it to slow down a little. At the same time, we see a major uptick in interest on the enterprise side as other businesses look to us for components and general predictability. We believe the impact of tariffs and regulations will strongly benefit Unusual Machines and expect to see GAAP validation of that expectation in the third quarter and fourth quarters as U.S. Government contracts start to be issued to some of our customers.

Looking Ahead

Our priorities moving forward are clear:

	·	Grow Revenue: We are being aggressive. We will continue to invest in and expand Rotor Riot’s operations, driving both top-line growth and improved margins while introducing more U.S. made components at competitive prices. We will continue to take advantage of the tariffs to improve gross margins, and we anticipate substantial capital expense outlay as we work to very quickly scale a motor factory in Orlando to complement our factory that we will acquire in Australia once we close the Rotor Lab acquisition.

	·	Grow the Company: The U.S. government marketplace for drones is accelerating. To keep up with demand growth on the enterprise side – we need to scale the company. We are in the process of expanding our team from 20 employees to 50, are building out the motor factory, and plan on adding Fat Shark headset assembly to a new leased facility in the Orlando area.

	·	Get to Cash Flow Positive: We plan to grow in a controlled manner with the focus of our efforts driving us toward positive cash flow. Accounting for growth, we expect to need $20-30M in an annual revenue run rate to reach this target and are working toward getting there in 2026 depending on how the enterprise market materializes in the second half of 2025.

We are enthusiastic about the future of Unusual Machines. The company is in a great position to capitalize on enterprise sales and take advantage of the regulatory environment and macroeconomic factors to rapidly scale. We believe the moment is now and are doing everything we can to capture market share. We appreciate you all for the confidence and support in our vision. Please reach out with any questions or comments.

Sincerely,

Allan Evans

CEO of Unusual Machines

Second Quarter Financial Results

	·	Revenues totaled approximately $2.12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $1.41 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 which was a 51% increase for the second quarter year over year.
	·	Revenues totaled approximately $4.17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to pro forma revenue of $2.52 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which represents a 65% increase for the first six months year over year.
	·	Gross margin for the second quarter was approximately 37%, which improved related to the increase in enterprise sales, increasing costs related to tariffs and expanding certain retail margins. Our gross margin for the first six months of the year is approximately 31%.
	·	Our loss from operations was approximately $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to an operating loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Included in this is non-cash stock compensation expense of $5.5 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
	·	Interest income was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 related to interest earned from our May 2025 public offering.
	·	Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter 2025 was approximately $6.9 million or $0.32 per share as compared to a net loss of approximately $1.6 million for the second quarter 2024 or $0.16 per share. The decrease primarily relates to the increase in non-cash stock compensation expense incurred in 2025.
	·	We had approximately $38.9 million of cash as of June 30, 2025 as compared to $3.7 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in cash primarily relates to the public offering completed in May 2025 and cash exercise of warrants in February 2025. See table 1 for additional details.

For further information concerning our financial results, see the tables attached to this shareholders’ letter.

Non-GAAP – Financial Measures

This shareholder letter includes both financial measures in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss), and cash flow from operating activities, liquidity or any other financial measures. They may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor are they intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Our management uses and relies on adjusted net loss, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that management, analysts, and shareholders benefit from referring to the following non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period-to-period after removing the impact of items that affect comparability. Our management recognizes that the non-GAAP financial measure has inherent limitations because of the excluded items described below.

We have included in Table 2 a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing the non-GAAP financial measure, together with reconciliation to GAAP, helps investors make comparisons between the Company and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance.
