IRVINE, Calif. - Mobix Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ:MOBX) announced today it has signed a binding letter of intent to acquire Vision Aerial, Inc., a Montana-based drone manufacturer serving national security and critical infrastructure sectors.
The acquisition would expand Mobix Labs into the drone manufacturing market as part of its previously announced acquisition-led growth strategy, according to a press release statement. Financial terms of the proposed transaction were not disclosed.
Founded in 2013, Vision Aerial designs and manufactures drone systems for government and commercial operations. The company’s customer base includes the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, USDA Forest Service, and L3Harris, as well as energy operators such as Marathon Oil, DTE Energy, and Northwestern Energy.
Vision Aerial’s drones support applications including infrastructure inspection, wildfire response, search-and-rescue operations, and environmental monitoring. The aircraft can carry interchangeable cameras and sensors for different mission requirements.
"This is a defining move for Mobix Labs. We are moving to acquire a proven, American-built drone platform trusted by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, and major industry customers," said Phil Sansone, Chief Executive Officer of Mobix Labs.The acquisition comes as Mobix Labs, with a market capitalization of just $30 million, faces financial headwinds. The stock has declined 68.5% over the past year to $2.23, though InvestingPro analysis suggests the company may be undervalued at current levels.
