The short version
Amaero in 5 points
1 · What it sells
Amaero makes metal powders and powder-formed parts at one Tennessee plant, and powders were $5.3 million of its $6.3 million revenue in FY2025.
2 · Who pays it
In the six months to Jun 30, 2026, Titomic provided 41% of Amaero's revenue, Continuum Powders 27% and all other customers 32% (Cityfort calculation from the 424B4 filed Oct 15, 2026).
3 · What it keeps from $100
Of every $100 that came in during FY2025, Amaero spent $350.3, a loss of $250.3; the net loss of $18.4 million includes $1.0 million of interest income, other income and income from discontinued operations, and the operating loss was $19.0 million.
4 · Where the operating profit comes from
Amaero has no operating profit: in FY2025 its cost of revenue ($11.5 million) was above its revenue ($6.3 million), and selling and overhead costs added $13.4 million.
5 · The one thing to watch
Amaero's prospectus says offering proceeds will not remove substantial doubt about its ability to keep operating, and it estimated cash of $4.95 million to $4.96 million at Sep 30, 2026, before the offering.

04Why it makes money
Why does Amaero make money?
Amaero has never made a profit: its products cost more to make than they sell for, and share sales and loans pay the difference.
In FY2025 Amaero spent $20.1 million on plant and equipment and used $18.4 million in operations. Share sales of $46.9 million and loans of $15.0 million paid for it. Cost of revenue fell against revenue, but it stayed above revenue.
Cost of revenue per $100 of revenue (Cityfort calculation from the 424B4 filed Oct 15, 2026)
$315.9$181.9
FY2024 to FY2025
- Raise money through share sales and loans
- Buy powder machines and presses for the Tennessee plant
- Get each powder or part qualified with customers
- Fill orders under purchase and supply agreements
- Book revenue against the plant's costs, and raise more money for the shortfall

08What could go wrong
What could go wrong for Amaero?
- Cash and liquidity
Going-concern doubt
The prospectus states substantial doubt about Amaero's ability to keep operating. It says offering proceeds will not remove that doubt for at least 12 months after the offering. It will need more funds.
Watch Cash and the going-concern wording in the Q3 FY2026 10-Q.
- Other
Never profitable
Net loss was $18.4 million in FY2025 and $13.4 million in the six months to Jun 30, 2026. The accumulated deficit was $75.5 million at Jun 30, 2026.
Watch Gross loss, which was $3.1 million in the six months to Jun 30, 2026.
- Concentration
Two customers bring in most revenue
Titomic (41%) and Continuum Powders (27%) were 68% of revenue in the six months to Jun 30, 2026. The prospectus says losing a 10% customer could be material.
Watch The top two customers' share in the next filing.
- Execution
One plant
All manufacturing is at one Tennessee site. A May 2026 flash fire injured 2 employees; 2 other fires caused no injuries or material damage. The response included a six-week titanium pause, and the company expects about $0.8 million of expenses, only partly insured. In Q3 FY2026 no titanium was produced until late July, while a safety review concluded. The company says that and commissioning a sieving system hurt that quarter's gross margins (prospectus dated Oct 14, 2026).
Watch Titanium output and gross margin in the Q3 FY2026 results, due Nov 9, 2026.
- Demand
Defense contracts can be ended
PM-HIP and defense contracts can generally be ended for convenience, and can be suspended, canceled or delayed. The prospectus also flags policy reversal.
Watch Changes to the Navy and Department of War work.
- Raw-material prices
Reliance on feedstock from China
Most titanium bar comes from suppliers in China with no long-term contract. The prospectus cites a 35% tariff on imported electrode raw materials and possible export limits.
Watch Purchases under the Perryman US supply deal, which runs through Dec 31, 2027.
- Execution
Qualification and backlog
Powders and parts may fail customer qualification or take a long time to pass it, and backlog may not turn into revenue, per the prospectus. Backlog was $10.0 million at Jun 30, 2026.
Watch How much of the backlog becomes revenue.
- Cash and liquidity
More money needed, with limits on raising it
Amaero says it will need more funds (prospectus dated Oct 14, 2026). ASX rules require stockholder approval for more than 15% new shares in 12 months, which the prospectus says limits raising capital. The EXIM loan has covenants from Sep 30, 2027 and Sep 30, 2028, and restricts dividends.
Watch New share sales or loans reported in 8-Ks and ASX notices.

13What it sells
13What it sells
What does Amaero sell?
Metal powders
High-purity round powders of refractory metals (heat-resistant ones such as niobium C103, tungsten and tantalum) and titanium alloys, for 3D printing and other manufacturing. They brought $5.3 million in FY2025, 83.7% of revenue (Cityfort calculation from the 424B4 filed Oct 15, 2026).
PM-HIP parts
PM-HIP is powder metallurgy hot isostatic pressing. Powder goes in a canister, then heat and pressure form a near-finished part. Lead time is 3 to 4 months, against 6 to 18 for forgings, per the prospectus. Revenue was $1.0 million in FY2025.
Think of it like this
PM-HIP works a little like baking in a mold: the powder takes the can's shape, and heat and pressure fuse it into solid metal.
What it does
- Does: Makes powder on three EIGA machines, which turn a metal bar into fine powder; a fourth was ordered in December 2025
- Does: Forms parts up to 63 by 104 inches and 20,000 pounds, per the prospectus
- Does: Sells for uses the prospectus lists as hypersonic weapons, satellite propulsion, strategic missiles, submarines, medical, nuclear, energy, semiconductor equipment, firearm suppressors and device enclosures
What it does not do
- Does not: Earn much outside the US: substantially all revenue was generated in the US in each period the prospectus presents
- Does not: Run plants in Australia or the UAE any more: those operations ceased by Jun 30, 2024 and Dec 31, 2023
- Does not: Rely on patents: it has 1 pending US patent and no registered trademarks, and relies on trade secrets

- Customers paid $6.3 million in FY2025: $5.3 million for powders and $1.0 million for parts. Interest, other income and discontinued operations added $1.0 million.
- Making those products cost $11.5 million, more than revenue, so the gross loss was $5.2 million.
- Selling and overhead costs were $13.4 million, and research $0.4 million. Stock-based pay of $2.4 million was part of the year's costs.
- Against revenue alone, those costs left an operating loss of $19.0 million. Interest cost another $0.5 million, and no income tax was charged.
- Costs were $18.4 million more than the money that came in. That is the net loss.

16Competitors and what protects it
16Competitors and what protects it
Who does Amaero compete with?
ATI Inc.
Named in the prospectus as a competitor in US powders and in PM-HIP parts.
Carpenter Technology
Named in the prospectus as a US powder competitor.
Linde Advanced Material Technologies
Named in the prospectus as a US powder competitor.
Elmet Technologies
Named in the prospectus as a US powder competitor.
Bodycote Thermal Processing

What protects the business
Each strength is scored 1 (weak) to 5 (strong) for the business, with the reason. It is not a rating of the share.
- Cost and time to copy3 of 5
The company says a similar facility takes 2 to 3 years and over $45 million to build. That is the company's own view.
- US refractory capacity3 of 5
The company says it believes it has the "only U.S. domestic atomization capacity specifically dedicated to refractory alloys". One of its machines serves refractory metals, per the prospectus.
- Customer qualification2 of 5
Qualification can take years, which the company lists as a barrier to rivals. The prospectus also warns its own powders and parts may fail qualification or take a long time.
- Scale2 of 5
Revenue was $6.3 million in FY2025 from one plant, and production has been below installed capacity. The prospectus says certain competitors, including ATI and Carpenter, are substantially larger. It also says Amaero's powder capacity is greater scale than any other known US competitor.
- Patents1 of 5
1 pending US patent, filed May 8, 2026, and no registered trademarks. Amaero relies on trade secrets.
Weak spot
One plant and imported titanium feedstock
All manufacturing is at one site. Most titanium bar comes from suppliers in China on purchase orders, with no long-term contract, per the prospectus.
17Where growth could come from
17Where growth could come from
Where could Amaero's growth come from?
Amaero says in its prospectus (Oct 14, 2026) that it plans to commission a fourth powder machine in June 2027. That would raise planned capacity from 680 to 920 metric tons a year.
Powder capacity
MixedThree machines installed; a fourth planned for June 2027 (prospectus dated Oct 14, 2026)
A May 2026 flash fire injured 2 employees, and the response included a six-week pause in titanium powder production. In Q3 FY2026 no titanium was produced until late July, while a facility and process safety review concluded. The prospectus says a third machine and a new sieving system raised titanium throughput capacity by about 100%.
Status: Mixed, partly on track.
Supply agreements
EarlyAbout $5.5 million minimum from Continuum, July 2026 to June 2027 (prospectus)
Other multi-year deals include Titomic, Velo3D, Knust-Godwin, United Performance Metals and ADDMAN. Many do not guarantee purchases at expected levels, per the prospectus.
Status: Early, too early to judge.
Defense work
NewAbout $4.5 million, 13-month US Department of War contract, July 2026 (prospectus)
A low-rate initial production contract for submarine components was also announced in July 2026, with no amount stated. These contracts can generally be ended for convenience.
Status: New, recently announced.
Lower argon cost
NewExpected cut of at least 77% in argon cost (company's estimate, prospectus dated Oct 14, 2026)
The company plans to commission an argon recycling system in Q1 2027 (prospectus dated Oct 14, 2026). It carries a 15-year take-or-pay minimum of $24,500 a month, about $4.7 million in total.
Status: New, recently announced.
Status compares progress with what the company itself said it would do: Working = on track against what the company said; Mixed = partly on track; Behind = behind the company's own plan; New = recently announced; Early = too early to judge.

$10M

What do Amaero's governance filings show?
- Auditor
- BDO USA, P.C., since 2026
- Auditor changes
- Jan 29, 2026: RSM Australia Partners (continues for ASX reporting) → BDO USA, P.C. (primary auditor) (The prospectus says BDO was engaged primarily because of the move to Delaware and the need for US GAAP statements for this offering, not because of any disagreement or reportable event.)
- Audit qualifications
- FY2025: BDO's audit report includes a going-concern paragraph, meaning substantial doubt about Amaero's ability to keep operating.
- Related-party dealings
- Pegasus bought shares in ASX placements in 2023 and 2025 and exercised options in 2025; FIL also bought, as did June Seventy Sixers LLC, tied to directors Omer Granit and Erik Levy (Levy's interest is passive and non-controlling). Director Tim Johnson was a paid consultant. All predate the formal related-party policy, per the prospectus.

Going-concern doubt remains after the offering
The prospectus says the offering's proceeds will not remove substantial doubt about Amaero's ability to keep operating. That holds for at least 12 months after the offering.
other
Material weakness in internal control
The prospectus reports a material weakness in IT general controls: user access and separation of duties. Controls were not effective at Dec 31, 2025 or Jun 30, 2026.

disclosure
Share count so far reported only to the ASX
Amaero told the ASX on Oct 23, 2026 that it issued 5,012,697 shares at $4.25 on Oct 19, 2026, 306,814 more than the 4,705,883 in the prospectus. No SEC filing has yet reported the issue, or whether the underwriters' option on 705,882 shares was used (EDGAR, Nov 6, 2026).
disclosure
Use prospectus figures, not older ASX ones
This page uses the prospectus: US dollars, US GAAP and years ending Dec 31. Amaero told the ASX on Oct 28, 2026 that its fiscal year now ends Dec 31, not Jun 30, and that there will be no ASX annual report for Jul 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026. Data sites may still show ASX-era figures in Australian dollars, which are not comparable.
disclosure
One ASX notice names a different Nasdaq tier
Amaero's Oct 23, 2026 cleansing notice to the ASX refers to the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The prospectus and Nasdaq's own data name the Nasdaq Capital Market, which this page uses.
disclosure
Two accounts of the Titomic order's timing
One passage says the $3.0 million order has shipments scheduled across the second half of 2026. Another says first-half 2026 powder revenue reflects fulfilling it. The prospectus does not reconcile them.
