DENVER, CO, April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rank One Computing Corporation d/b/a ROC, (Nasdaq: ROC) (“ROC” or the “Company”), a U.S. leader in Vision AI, building unified biometric, video analytics, and decision intelligence solutions, today published a business update following its full year 2025 financial results, highlighting accelerating adoption of its platform, strong product-led growth, and successful completion of its Nasdaq IPO in February 2026. Additionally, ROC has published an April 2026 Investor Presentation which further outlines ROC’s competitive positioning at the intersection of biometrics, video analytics, and mission intelligence as demand for American-built identity-driven infrastructure continues to expand. The presentation is available on the Company’s investor relations website.

Full Year 2025 Financial Update

Total revenue of $17.0 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 24%, from the prior year.
Product revenue increased 58% to $12.1 million, primarily driven by early customer adoption of ROC Watch and sustained performance of the ROC SDK.
ROC Watch and ROC Enroll each delivered revenue growth in excess of 300% compared to 2024.
Government R&D contracts revenue totaled $4.9 million, compared to $6.0 million in full-year 2024, reflecting timing variability in public-sector contract cycles and the impact of the late 2025 government shutdown, rather than underlying demand trends.
Gross profit of $13.1 million, compared to $12.0 million in the prior year period.
2025 gross margin was 77% compared to 87% in the prior-year period, reflecting the Company’s continued investments to scale its platform infrastructure and increase adoption. As revenue scales and product revenue mix continues to shift toward higher-margin recurring revenue contracts, margins are expected to increase.
Operating expenses totaled $15.1 million, compared to $13.2 million in the prior year period, due to an increase in labor-related costs associated with planned growth in product offerings and the development of ROC’s Vision AI platform.
Net loss was $2.7 million, compared to $0.7 million in the prior year period, due to a deliberate focus on growth investments in talent and research and development to support the augmentation and scale of ROC’s Vision AI platform.
The Company ended the year with $0.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, and no debt outstanding.
Subsequent to year-end 2025, the Company raised net proceeds of $21.5 million in its initial public offering.

“2025 was a defining year for ROC, with strong revenue growth and a meaningful acceleration in the adoption of our core Vision AI platform. We are proud of ROC’s financial performance in 2025, reflected in 24% year-over-year revenue growth, highlighted by a 58% increase in ROC’s product revenue, and achieving record performance across our products,” said B. Scott Swann, CEO of ROC. “These results were driven broadly by traction in our expanded product offerings and scaled contract deployments across our national security, law enforcement, and commercial customers, underscoring continued growth in market demand for our identity and intelligence solutions. We believe this momentum reflects growing demand for American-made Vision AI, translating into operating efficiencies for our customers and sustained financial performance for our shareholders.”

Mr. Swann continued, “Looking ahead, our focus is on scaling deployments, increasing recurring revenue, and continuing to invest in platform and compute capabilities to support our long-term growth. Further, our team is focused on increasing the proportion of long-term, higher-margin recurring revenue contracts, which we view as a critical indicator of durable growth and visibility in our business model.”
