Analysis
ZenaTech reported $9.3 million of second-quarter revenue, up 316% from $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $17.7 million, up 425% from $3.4 million in the comparable 2025 period. The Company stated that this was its seventh consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth since the fourth quarter of 2024.
DaaS was the principal source of growth, contributing $8.1 million in the quarter and $16.4 million in the six-month period. The Company said DaaS represented almost 93% of total revenue in both periods. Management attributed DaaS growth to a full quarter of contribution from entities acquired in 2025, four second-quarter acquisitions, and increased survey volumes across existing operations. Enterprise SaaS Software contributed $1.2 million in the quarter and $1.3 million for the six-month period.
Profitability remains the key offset to the revenue expansion. The Company reported a $22.5 million net loss during the quarter, which it attributed to investment in its AI Autonomy drone platforms, DaaS scale-up, and future government and defense customer pilots and contracts. No gross-margin, operating-income, EPS, operating-cash-flow, or free-cash-flow figures were reported in the release, so the release does not quantify the current earnings or cash-flow effect of the acquisition and product-development strategy.
The balance sheet expanded alongside the acquisition program. Total assets grew 50% to $149.2 million from $99.8 million as of December 31, 2025, reflecting investment in property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets from acquisitions. Cash increased 105% to $12.2 million, while cash and marketable securities totaled $34.6 million. Total shareholders' equity increased to $91.3 million from $68 million.
For the remainder of 2026, the Company provided qualitative rather than numerical guidance. Its stated priorities are closing signed acquisition offers, integrating service businesses into drone-based delivery, advancing Blue UAS certification and defense-agency engagement, progressing counter-UAS development and manufacturing, and expanding Zoo Office™. The filing identifies multiple growth initiatives but does not provide quantified revenue, margin, expense, tax-rate, or profitability targets.
Management, verbatim
The second quarter of 2026 marked continued momentum for ZenaTech, with DaaS revenue growing to $8.1 million for a total of $9.3 million of revenue for the quarter, and our overall business revenue was up 316% year-over-year.
Dr. Shaun Passley, ZenaTech Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
Our pipeline of innovative products now spans air, land, indoor, maritime and underwater applications for both commercial and defense applications. We remain focused on converting the surveying, inspection and power washing businesses we've acquired onto drone-based delivery, which we believe will continue to expand margins as integration progresses.
