Electro Optic Systems reported an A$717 million order book at September 30, up 56% from the end of 2025, in its quarterly disclosure released Monday in Australia.

The figure excludes a conditional Kuwait counter-drone contract announced earlier in October. Including that approximately A$700 million agreement would lift the combined total above A$1.4 billion, the company said.

EOS cautioned that the Kuwait agreement still depends on outstanding conditions. It is discussing possible changes to payment guarantees and other terms, with no certainty that amendments will be agreed or the conditions met.

The report also showed unrestricted cash falling to A$133.1 million at September 30, down A$122.9 million over the quarter. Working-capital investments and security deposits for bank guarantees contributed to the decline.

Cash receipts after quarter-end lifted unrestricted cash to A$204 million by October 23, EOS said. Its full-year revenue forecast remained A$360 million to A$400 million; that outlook is not a reported result.
