AeroVironment restates results, net loss understated by $87.3 million; two directors resign
AeroVironment said its previously issued financial statements for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026 require restatement after an error in the goodwill impairment analysis for its Space reporting unit. The restated figures show a larger net loss and loss from operations, and management found a newly identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. Separately, directors David Wodlinger and Henry Albers resigned from the Board effective June 17, 2026, leaving the Board with eight directors.
