Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP), a managed service provider developing the nation’s first Autonomous Security Force, announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, showing total revenue of $6 million, a 106% increase from $2.9 million in the same period last year. The company also reported a positive gross margin of $0.5 million, or 8% of revenue, marking a significant turnaround from prior periods.
The revenue growth was propelled by the company’s acquisition of Event Risk LLC on February 27, 2026, which added licensed armed and unarmed security agent operations to Knightscope’s portfolio. This acquisition brings together all four pillars of the Autonomous Security Force—autonomous machines, advanced software, and licensed security agents—under one managed service accountable for protecting people, property, and places.
Knightscope’s Autonomous Security Force integrates robotics, AI, and human security personnel to provide comprehensive security solutions for commercial and government clients across the United States. The company emphasizes that its unified approach differentiates it from traditional security firms that often operate disparate services.
‘Our Q1 results demonstrate the strong demand for our integrated security model,’ said a Knightscope spokesperson in the press release. The company noted that the acquisition of Event Risk LLC not only boosted revenue but also expanded its capabilities to offer both armed and unarmed security agents, enhancing its value proposition to clients.
Analysts view the revenue surge as a validation of Knightscope’s strategy to combine technology with manned security services. The security industry has been increasingly adopting automation and AI to augment human guards, and Knightscope’s managed service approach addresses this trend.
