What Happened
On January 13, 2026, Palladyne AI Corp. (PDYN) filed an 8‑K and issued a press release (Exhibit 99.1) reporting preliminary, unaudited financial information for the year ended December 31, 2025. Management estimates total revenue for 2025 in the range of $5.0 to $5.5 million. As of December 31, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are expected to be approximately $47.0 million, and backlog is expected to be about $13.0 million.

Key Details

• Preliminary 2025 revenue: $5.0 – $5.5 million (unaudited).
• Liquidity: cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities ≈ $47.0 million as of 12/31/2025.
• Backlog: ≈ $13.0 million of signed and funded/committed customer contracts; majority expected to be recognized within 12 months.
• These figures are preliminary and unaudited; final results are subject to closing procedures and adjustment, and the independent auditor has not audited or reviewed the preliminary data.

Why It Matters
This 8‑K gives investors an early snapshot of Palladyne’s 2025 top‑line performance, liquidity and near‑term revenue visibility. The $47M in cash and equivalents indicates available liquidity, while the $13M backlog suggests revenue visibility over the coming year. However, these are preliminary estimates that may change when final audited financial statements are completed and filed, so investors should treat them as indicative, not definitive. The company also reiterated its public disclosure channels (SEC filings, investor website, social media) for material updates.
