Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Operating margin = operating income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

Overview

We are a leading public safety technology company that combines data-driven solutions and strategic advisory services for law enforcement, security teams and civic leadership. In April 2023, we changed the company name, ShotSpotter, Inc., to SoundThinking, Inc., reflecting our broader impact on public safety through a growing set of industry-leading law enforcement tools and community-focused solutions. As part of the rebranding, we introduced the SafetySmart™ platform that includes seven data-driven tools consisting of: (i) our flagship product, ShotSpotter®, our leading outdoor gunshot detection, location and alerting system trusted by 171 cities and 21 universities and corporations as of June 30, 2026, (ii) CrimeTracer™, an agency-wide crime data and intelligence platform that enables investigators, analysts, patrol officers and command staff to search through more than one billion criminal justice records from across jurisdictions, leverage dashboards and AI-assisted tools to generate tactical leads, and quickly make intelligent connections to solve cases, (iii) CaseBuilder™, a one-stop investigative management system for tracking, reporting, and collaborating on cases, (iv) ResourceRouter™, which directs the deployment of patrol and community anti-violence resources in an objective way to help maximize the impact of limited resources and improve community safety, (v) PlateRanger™ powered by Rekor®, an ALPR and vehicle identification solution that leverages AI and machine learning to enhance investigative efficiency and provide real-time data sharing for law enforcement, (vi) Field Agent, an AI layer that transforms public safety data into actionable intelligence and (vii) SafePointe™, an AI-based weapons detection system designed to provide discreet, high-throughput screening that complements physical security measures without compromising visitor experience. These solutions may operate independently or together as an integrated system that connects detection, data analysis, resource deployment and case management workflows. We also offer other security use-case specific solutions, including ShotSpotter for Campus and ShotSpotter for Corporate, which are typically smaller-scale deployments of ShotSpotter gunshot detection vertically marketed to universities, corporate campuses and key infrastructure centers to mitigate risk and enhance security by notifying authorities of outdoor gunfire incidents, saving critical minutes for first responders to arrive. In the first quarter of 2025, we rolled out a perimeter-based sniper gunshot detection solution targeting utility substations, with initial pilots aimed at utility customers, conducted through SoundThinking Labs. SoundThinking Labs supports innovative use cases of the Company's technology to help protect wildlife and the environment.

Our gunshot detection solutions consist of highly-specialized, cloud-based software integrated with proprietary, internet-enabled sensors designed to detect outdoor gunfire. The speed and accuracy of our gunfire alerts enable law enforcement and security personnel to consistently and quickly respond to shooting events including those unreported through 911, which can increase the chances of apprehending the shooter, providing timely aid to victims, and identifying witnesses before they scatter, as well as aid in evidence collection and serve as an overall deterrent. When a potential gunfire incident is detected by our sensors, our system precisely locates where the incident occurred and applies machine classification combined with human review to analyze and validate the incident. An alert containing a location on a map and critical information about the incident is sent directly to subscribing law enforcement or security personnel through any internet-connected computer and to iPhone or Android mobile devices.

Our software sends gunfire data along with the audio of the triggering sound to our Incident Review Center (“IRC”), where our trained incident review specialists are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to screen and confirm actual gunfire incidents. Our trained incident review specialists can supplement alerts with additional tactical information, such as the potential presence of multiple shooters or the use of high-capacity weapons. Gunshot incidents reviewed by our IRC result in alerts typically sent within approximately 45 seconds of the receipt of the gunfire incident.

We offer our solutions on a software-as-a-service subscription model to our customers. We generate annual subscription revenues from the deployment of ShotSpotter on a per-square-mile basis. Our security solutions, ShotSpotter for Campus, and ShotSpotter for Corporate are typically sold on a subscription basis, each with a customized deployment plan. Our ResourceRouter solution, CaseBuilder, PlateRanger and CrimeTracer are also sold on a subscription basis generally customized based on the number of sworn officers in a particular city. We generate annual subscription revenues from the deployment of SafePointe on a per-lane basis, a lane being the detection area between two sensors. As of June 30, 2026, we had ShotSpotter, ShotSpotter for Campus, and ShotSpotter for Corporate coverage areas under contract covered over 1,072 square miles, of which over 1,047 square miles had gone live. Coverage areas under contract for ShotSpotter included 171 cities and coverage areas under contract for ShotSpotter for Campus and ShotSpotter for Corporate included 21 campuses/sites across the United States, South Africa, Uruguay, Brazil and the Bahamas, and included some of the largest cities in the United States. As of June 30, 2026, we had 365 SafePointe lanes under contract. Most of our revenues are attributable to customers based in the United States.

We continue to see growing interest in other solutions, including CrimeTracer. We expect CrimeTracer to also contribute to growth during 2026, although revenues from ShotSpotter are expected to continue representing a majority of our revenues for the foreseeable future. SoundThinking Labs projects are generally conducted in coordination with a sponsoring charitable organization and may or may not be revenue-producing. When they are revenue-producing, they will generally be sold on a cost-plus basis. As such, SoundThinking Labs projects will normally produce gross margins significantly lower than most of our other solutions. Additionally, we have pricing programs for Tier 4 and 5 law enforcement agencies (those with fewer than 100 sworn officers) that allow them to contract for our gunshot detection solutions to cover a footprint of less than three square miles, using standardized coverage parameters, at a discounted annual subscription rate.

Since our founding over 29 years ago, SoundThinking has been and continues to be a purpose-led company. We are a mission-driven organization that focuses on improving public safety outcomes. We accomplish this by earning the trust of law enforcement and providing solutions to help them better engage and strengthen the police-community relationships in fulfilling their sworn obligation to serve and protect all. Our inspiration comes from our principal founder, Dr. Bob Showen, who believes that the highest and best use of technology is to promote social good. We are committed to developing comprehensive, respectful, and engaged partnerships with law enforcement agencies, elected officials and communities focused on making a positive difference in the world.

We enter into subscription agreements that typically range from one to three years in duration. Substantially all of our sales are to governmental agencies and universities, which often undertake a prolonged contract evaluation process that affects the size or the timing of our sales contracts and may likewise increase our customer acquisition costs.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers and contract manufacturers to produce components of our solutions. We have no long-term contracts with these manufacturers and purchases from them are generally on a purchase order basis. Although we use a limited number of suppliers and contract manufacturers, we believe that we could find alternate suppliers or manufacturers if circumstances required us to do so, in part because a portion of the components required by our solutions are available off the shelf.

We generated revenues of $23.9 million and $25.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing a decrease of 8%. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenues from ShotSpotter represented approximately 64% and 68% of total revenues, respectively. Our current largest customer, the City of New York, accounted for 27% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The City of New York accounted for 25% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

We generated revenues of $48.1 million and $54.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing a decrease of 11%. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenues from ShotSpotter represented approximately 65% and 63% of total revenues, respectively. Our current largest customer, the City of New York, accounted for 27% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The City of New York accounted for 31% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenues generated within the United States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) accounted for $23.0 million and $25.2 million, respectively, or 96% and 97% of total revenues, respectively.

18

For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenues generated within the United States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) accounted for $46.4 million and $52.7 million, respectively, or 97% and 97% of total revenues, respectively.

We had a net loss of $4.8 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We had a net loss of $11.8 million and $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our accumulated deficit was $125.5 million and $113.7 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

We are focused on growing our business and believe that our future growth is dependent on many factors, including our ability to increase our customer base, expand the coverage of our solutions among our existing customers, expand our international presence, increase sales of our security solutions and retain our customers. Our future growth will primarily depend on the market acceptance for outdoor gunshot detection solutions and expanding into new markets for our other security solutions. Challenges we face in this regard include our target customers not having access to adequate funding sources, the fact that contracting with government entities can be complex, expensive and time-consuming, the fact that our typical sales cycle is often very long and difficult to estimate accurately and the fact that negative publicity about our company can and has caused current and potential future customers to evaluate the sales of our solutions more than in the past. We expect international sales cycles to be even longer than our domestic sales cycles. To combat these challenges, we invest in research and development, increase awareness of our solutions, invest in new sales and marketing campaigns, often in different languages for international sales, and hire additional sales representatives to drive sales to continue to maintain our position as a market leader. In addition, we believe that entering into strategic partnerships with other service providers to cities and municipalities offers another potential avenue for expansion.

We also focus on expanding our business by introducing new products and services t

Our gunshot detection solutions consist of highly-specialized, cloud-based software integrated with proprietary, internet-enabled sensors designed to detect outdoor gunfire. The speed and accuracy of our gunfire alerts enable law enforcement and security personnel to consistently and quickly respond to shooting events including those unreported through 911, which can increase the chances of apprehending the shooter, providing timely aid to victims, and identifying witnesses before they scatter, as well as aid in evidence collection and serve as an overall deterrent. When a potential gunfire incident is detected by our sensors, our system precisely locates where the incident occurred and applies machine classification combined with human review to analyze and validate the incident. An alert containing a location on a map and critical information about the incident is sent directly to subscribing law enforcement or security personnel through any internet-connected computer and to iPhone or Android mobile devices.

Our software sends gunfire data along with the audio of the triggering sound to our Incident Review Center (“IRC”), where our trained incident review specialists are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to screen and confirm actual gunfire incidents. Our trained incident review specialists can supplement alerts with additional tactical information, such as the potential presence of multiple shooters or the use of high-capacity weapons. Gunshot incidents reviewed by our IRC result in alerts typically sent within approximately 45 seconds of the receipt of the gunfire incident.

We offer our solutions on a software-as-a-service subscription model to our customers. We generate annual subscription revenues from the deployment of ShotSpotter on a per-square-mile basis. Our security solutions, ShotSpotter for Campus and ShotSpotter for Corporate are typically sold on a subscription basis, each with a

62

customized deployment plan. Our ResourceRouter solution, CaseBuilder, PlateRanger and CrimeTracer are also sold on a subscription basis generally customized based on the number of sworn officers in a particular city. We generate annual subscription revenues from the deployment of SafePointe on a per-lane basis, a lane being the detection area between two lanes. As of December 31, 2025, we had ShotSpotter, ShotSpotter for Campus, and ShotSpotter for Corporate coverage areas under contract for over 1,092 square miles, of which over 1,064 square miles had gone live. Coverage areas under contract for ShotSpotter included 178 cities and coverage areas under contract for ShotSpotter for Campus and ShotSpotter for Corporate included 22 campuses/sites across the United States, South Africa, Brazil, Uruguay and the Bahamas, including some of the largest cities in the United States. As of December 31, 2025, we had 291 SafePointe lanes under contract. Most of our revenues are attributable to customers based in the United States.

While we intend to continue to devote resources to increase sales of our solutions, we expect that revenues from ShotSpotter will continue to comprise a majority of our revenues for the foreseeable future. SoundThinking Labs projects are generally conducted in coordination with a sponsoring charitable organization and may or may not be revenue-producing. When they are revenue-producing, they will generally be sold on a cost-plus basis. As such, SoundThinking Labs projects will normally produce gross margins significantly lower than most of our other solutions. Additionally, in early 2021, we added new pricing programs for Tier 4 and 5 law enforcement agencies (those with fewer than 100 sworn officers) that allow them to contract for our gunshot detection solutions to cover a footprint of less than three square miles, using standardized coverage parameters, at a discounted annual subscription rate.

We acquired LEEDS, LLC (“LEEDS”) in November 2020 to expand our suite of solutions and introduce CaseBuilder. CaseBuilder is our case management solution that helps automate investigative work and improve case clearance rates – addressing an inefficiency problem for many agencies that have had to rely on multiple disparate systems to work cases. Using the software, investigators benefit from a single digital case folder that includes all elements related to a case. Analytical and collaboration tools help investigators connect the dots and share information faster while reporting helps package cases for command staff and prosecutors. In May 2023, we renamed LEEDS to Technologic Solutions, LLC (“Technologic”).

In January 2022, we acquired Forensic Logic, a leading provider of cloud-based data services to U.S. law enforcement and public safety to enable powering the industry's most advanced search and analysis technology. We believe combining lead generation from Forensic Logic with our CaseBuilder case management solution, and utilizing CrimeTracer, can accelerate crime solving solutions and improve clearance rates.

In August 2023, we acquired SafePointe, a provider of an AI-driven next-generation concealed weapons detection solution and added this technology to our SafetySmart platform.

In July 2024, we announced a strategic partnership to create and launch a new end-to-end vehicle and ALPR public safety solution, “PlateRanger, Powered by Rekor.” This collaboration combines SoundThinking's expertise in acoustic gunshot detection and investigative solutions with Rekor's vehicle ALPR solutions.

Since our founding over 29 years ago, SoundThinking has been and continues to be a purpose-led company. We are a mission-driven organization that focuses on improving public safety outcomes. We accomplish this by earning the trust of law enforcement and providing solutions to help them better engage and strengthen the police-community relationships in fulfilling their sworn obligation to serve and protect all. Our inspiration comes from our principal founder, Dr. Bob Showen, who believes that the highest and best use of technology is to promote social good. We are committed to developing comprehensive, respectful, and engaged partnerships with law enforcement agencies, elected officials and communities focused on making a positive difference in the world.

We enter into subscription agreements that typically range from one to three years in duration. Substantially all of our sales are to governmental agencies and universities, which often undertake a prolonged contract evaluation process that affects the size or the timing of our sales contracts and may likewise increase our customer acquisition costs.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers and contract manufacturers to produce components of our solutions. We have no long-term contracts with these manufacturers and purchases from them are generally on a purchase order basis. Although we use a limited number of suppliers and contract manufacturers, we believe that we could find

63

alternate suppliers or manufacturers if circumstances required us to do so, in part because a portion of the components required by our solutions are available off the shelf.

We generated revenues of $104.1 million, $102.0 million and $92.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing year-over-year increases of 2% and 10%. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, revenues from ShotSpotter represented approximately 64%, 71% and 70% of total revenues, respectively. Our largest customer, the City of New York, accounted for 29% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025. The City of New York and the City of Chicago each accounted for 23% and 10%, respectively, of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024. The City of New York and the City of Chicago each accounted for 25% and 9%, respectively, of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023. Substantially all of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were derived from customers within the United States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Our contract with the City of Chicago ended in November 2024.

We had net loss of $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, net loss of $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and net loss of $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our accumulated deficit was $113.7 million and $104.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the fair value of the contingent consideration that we recorded in connection with our acquisition of Forensic Logic, decreased to zero by $3.2 million, based upon adjustments to recorded liabilities as a result of actual revenues.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the fair value of the contingent consideration that we recorded in connection with our a
