Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP), a security technology company, reported approximately $27 million in estimated renewals, bookings and client awards across 109 contracts and awards in seven vertical markets from May 20 through Sept. 18, 2026. The figures, disclosed in a recent announcement, highlight the company's growing traction in the security services market.
Estimated renewals accounted for approximately $19.6 million, or 72% of the total, while estimated new business accounted for approximately $7.5 million, or 28%. The largest renewal was a three-year master services agreement with a multinational industrial client, with services estimated at approximately $17 million over the initial term based on current service levels. The largest new engagement was a written client award from a national retailer valued at approximately $5.8 million. By vertical market, Industrial, Energy and Security Services represented approximately $18.7 million across 43 contracts and awards, while Retail and Consumer accounted for approximately $6.5 million across 11.
The update follows the company's launch of its Autonomous Security Force at GSX 2026, combining autonomous machines, AI-driven software and licensed security agents in a single operation. Knightscope noted that its renewals, bookings and client awards metric is not a measure of revenue, backlog, remaining performance obligations or another financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles.
For investors, the high proportion of renewals suggests existing clients are expanding or extending their relationships with Knightscope, which could indicate satisfaction with the company's offerings and a recurring revenue base. The new business wins, particularly the $5.8 million award from a national retailer, demonstrate the company's ability to attract new clients in competitive markets. The concentration in Industrial, Energy and Security Services verticals shows where demand is strongest, potentially guiding future sales efforts.
Knightscope's long-term mission is to make the United States of America the safest country in the world. As a managed service provider, the company delivers autonomous machines, AI-driven software, and licensed security agents as one accountable operation, under one contract, to help protect people, property, and critical infrastructure.
