Planet Labs achieved its first full year of adjusted EBITDA and positive free cash flow in fiscal 2026, fueled by a massive 50% increase in defense and intelligence revenue. Despite a contraction in commercial and civil segments, a record $900 million backlog signals a successful strategic pivot toward large-scale government contracts.
