\nNUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU \u2013 the \u201cCompany\u201d), the next-generation dual-use Defense & Security integrated platform company focused on non-kinetic effects and directed-energy technologies, electronic warfare and defense mobility programs, software-orchestrated defense systems and advanced manufacturing, today announced that its operating subsidiary Orbit S.r.l. (\u201cOrbit\u201d) has secured cumulative orders totaling approximately US$240,000 from a Tier-One national telecommunications infrastructure operator while generating approximately US$825,000 of additional commercial pipeline visibility across multiple critical infrastructure sectors.<\/p>\n
\nThe combined order activity and pipeline visibility underscore growing commercial adoption of Orbit\u2019s operational resilience platform and further validate NUBURU\u2019s strategy of building an integrated defense, security, and critical-infrastructure ecosystem through targeted acquisitions, strategic investments, and platform integration.<\/p>\n
\nThe customer operates one of the largest fixed telecommunications infrastructure platforms in the Italian domestic market, supporting millions of end users through a nationwide network footprint and playing a critical role in enabling connectivity across commercial and institutional environments.<\/p>\n
\nThe cumulative orders cover Orbit\u2019s New Cybersecurity Framework and related services, including software maintenance, right-to-use licensing and Azure cloud-migration support for 2026 and the first half of 2027. The approximately US$240,000 order value represents billable customer purchase-order value; the timing and amount of revenue recognition in NUBURU\u2019s consolidated financial statements will be determined in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP, including relevant consolidation, foreign-currency translation and other accounting considerations.<\/p>\n
Orbit Continues to Validate NUBURU\u2019s Integrated Platform Strategy<\/b><\/p>\n
\nOver the past several months, NUBURU has executed a deliberate strategy to build an integrated defense, security, and critical-infrastructure platform through targeted acquisitions, strategic investments, and technology partnerships. Orbit\u2019s continued commercial traction provides further validation of this approach, demonstrating growing demand for software-driven operational resilience, situational awareness, and decision-support solutions across increasingly complex infrastructure environments.<\/p>\n
\nManagement believes that software-based orchestration platforms capable of integrating cyber, operational, infrastructure, and security data into a unified command environment will become increasingly important as governments, defense organizations, utilities, telecommunications operators, and enterprise customers confront growing operational complexity and evolving threat landscapes.<\/p>\n
\nThe deployment is structured as a scalable entry point across the customer\u2019s operational environment and provides confirmed order visibility across 2026 and the first half of 2027.<\/p>\n
Expanding Commercial Pipeline Across Critical Infrastructure Markets<\/b><\/p>\n
\nSeparately, commercial offers issued to date in Orbit\u2019s current pipeline support approximately US$825,000 in additional new-order visibility across mission-critical and critical-infrastructure accounts, including telecommunications, financial infrastructure, transportation networks, public-sector organizations, defense and dual-use applications, industrial operators, and utility providers.<\/p>\n
\nThis visibility does not represent signed revenue, billings or backlog unless and until offers are accepted and definitive customer orders are executed.<\/p>\n
Orbit Ownership and Path to Full Acquisition<\/b><\/p>\n
\nNUBURU, via Nuburu Defense LLC (\u201cNuburu Defense\u201d), currently holds approximately 22.7% equity interest in Orbit, with governance rights that support strategic and operational alignment.<\/p>\n
\nFollowing recent shareholder approval authorizing the issuance of shares to complete the transaction, the Company expects to finalize the acquisition of 100% of Orbit by year-end.<\/p>\n
\nFull ownership is expected to further enhance NUBURU\u2019s ability to integrate Orbit as the software command and orchestration layer of its platform, capture the full economic value of growth, and accelerate commercialization across both defense and civilian critical infrastructure markets.<\/p>\n
Management Commentary<\/b><\/p>\n
Dario Barisoni, Co-CEO of NUBURU and CEO of Nuburu Defense<\/span>, commented:<\/p>\n \u201cThese cumulative orders further validate Orbit\u2019s technology and reinforce our conviction that operational resilience and software-based command platforms represent significant long-term opportunities across both civilian and defense markets.<\/i><\/p>\n \u201cOperators managing large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure are increasingly required to address complex, multi-domain risks through unified, software-driven frameworks.
