Knightscope Accelerates Past Another $1 Million in New Sales, Renewals & Expansions

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 17, 2025--

Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP), a leader in autonomous security robots and emergency communication devices, today announced that on the heels of the 2025 Letter from the CEO on establishing the nation’s first Autonomous Security Force, the Company has exceeded yet another $1 million milestone in new sales, client renewals and expansions.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251217978037/en/

Knightscope believes its recent sales activity reflects continued momentum and growing interest in the Company’s technology-enabled security solutions. Following a similar performance in the prior month, Knightscope expects this trend to support its strategy to expand adoption of autonomous physical security and emergency communication technologies across both public and private sector environments.

Emergency Communication Devices Continue New Sales Growth

Knightscope recorded 39 new Emergency Communication Device (ECD) sales across multiple verticals, including local government, higher education and healthcare in California, Washington, North Dakota, Florida and Virginia. The Company believes this diversification positions its ECD portfolio for steady sales results, as institutions continue to prioritize modern, integrated emergency communication infrastructure.

In addition, more than 60 ECD units had their maintenance agreements renewed across higher education and local governments. These renewals are expected to further support recurring revenue streams while reinforcing the durability of client relationships centered on mission-critical communication solutions.

Autonomous Security Robot Business Advances Machine-as-a-Service Strategy

Knightscope also reported progress within its Autonomous Security Robot (ASR) segment, with eight new Machine-as-a-Service (MaaS) subscriptions sold and three new Risk & Threat (RTX) human monitoring premium accounts added. New client agreements included deployments across several solar fuel cell manufacturing facilities, a large urban mixed-use property and several commercial real estate locations throughout California and Florida.

These new ASR sales demonstrate continued market validation of Knightscope’s autonomous patrol solutions, which are designed to augment security personnel, improve operational efficiency and potentially reduce long-term security costs. Knightscope expects continued adoption of its MaaS offerings to further scale its ASR business.

Additionally, the Company achieved seven ASR subscription renewals across a range of industry verticals, including an enclosed mall, semiconductor testing facilities, and high-technology manufacturing, which supports the durability of Knightscope’s subscription-based revenue model.

Knightscope Accelerates Past Another $1 Million in New Sales, Renewals & Expansions

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are holding relatively steady on Wednesday, while the price of oil claws back some of this year’s sharp slide.

The S&P 500 added 0.1% in early trading, coming off its third straight drop, though it remains near its all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 162 points, or 0.3%, as of 9:35 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was nearly unchanged.

Companies in the oil business helped lead the way after President Donald Trump ordered a blockade of all “sanctioned oil tankers” into Venezuela. It’s Trump’s latest acceleration in pressure on the leaders of Venezuela, which may be sitting on more oil than any other country.

It sent the price of a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude higher by 1.4% to $55.92, just a day after it had sunk to its lowest level since 2021. Brent crude, the international standard, climbed 1.4% to $59.76 per barrel.

ConocoPhillips rose 1.6% to cut into its loss for the year so far, which came into the day at 8.5%. Other gainers included Devon Energy, which rose 2.8%, and Halliburton, which added 1.1%. Oil prices fell through much of this year on expectations that companies are pumping more than enough crude to meet the world’s demand.

Netflix was another winner and rose 2.4% after Warner Bros. Discovery’s board said it still recommends shareholders approve a buyout offer for its Warner Bros. business from the streaming giant, rather than a competing hostile bid from Paramount Skydance for the entire company.

Warner Bros. Discovery slipped 1.1%, while Paramount Skydance fell 4.4%.

Also on the losing end of Wall Street was Lennar, which sank 3.2% following a mixed profit report. The homebuilder delivered a weaker profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected, though its revenue topped expectations.

Executive Chairman Stuart Miller also said that conditions remain challenging for the industry, with customers feeling less confident while looking for discounts and more affordable options. As a result, the company gave limited forecasts for its upcoming financial performance.

Several steel makers were also under pressure after giving profit forecasts for the end of 2025 that fell below analysts’ expectations.

Nucor slipped 1.6% after the Charlotte, North Carolina-based company said it expects earnings to fall across all three of its operating units from summertime levels. Steel Dynamics of Fort Wayne, Indiana, fell 0.9% after saying it’s selling steel at lower prices than during the summer, among other factors.

In the bond market, Treasury yields ticked higher ahead of a report coming on Thursday that will show how bad inflation has been for U.S. consumers.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury edged up to 4.16% from 4.15% late Tuesday.

In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed in Europe following a stronger finish in Asia.

South Korea’s Kospi leaped 1.4% for one of the world’s bigger gains to shave its loss for the week so far down to 2.7%.
