Diversified Bookings Span Eight Verticals, Led by Critical Infrastructure and Retail & Consumer

Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ:KSCP), a managed service provider building the nation's first Autonomous Security Force ("ASF"), today announced approximately $3.8 million in new and recurring contracts across eight verticals.

The contracts span critical infrastructure, retail and consumer, healthcare and life sciences, industrial and energy, gaming and hospitality, higher education, commercial real estate, and technology and telecom. Critical infrastructure represented the largest share of bookings, anchored by engagements with a major California county government, the federal government, multiple major metropolitan law enforcement and emergency response agencies, a U.S. national laboratory, regional transit, aviation and port authorities, and dozens of state and county transportation and government programs across the country.

Private-sector activity included Fortune 500 pharmaceutical and healthcare organizations, leading hospital systems, national retail brands, a global beverage company, Tier 1 industrial and energy enterprises, casino and gaming operators, a telecom provider, top-tier higher education institutions, and commercial real estate operators.

The breadth and recurring character of these contracts continue to expand the client base and operational footprint into which the ASF will scale over time – offering an integrated alternative to the fragmented patchwork of hardware, software, and labor vendors that has long defined the security industry.

"Clients across the country are tired of buying products and getting fragmented results. They want outcomes, and they want one accountable provider," said William Santana Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Knightscope. "That is exactly what we are building: one provider, one platform, one accountable force."
