<p>VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today provides an update on its ZenaDrone subsidiary’s development progress on the ZenaDrone 2000 prototype heavy lift interceptor drone program. The Company has completed manufacturing of the drone’s fuselage, finalized key system components including the gas-powered engine selection and configuration, and commenced in-house assembly and systems integration as well as test bench activities for systems and components. The completed drone is expected to begin initial field flight testing at the end of Q3 2026 to further advance its development for defense and security applications.</p><p>“The drone threat has outpaced the defense procurement cycles as militaries, border agencies and critical infrastructure operators are being asked to counter today’s asymmetric aerial attacks with systems designed for an antiquated threat environment. With a counter-UAS market that analysts project could exceed $20 billion by 2030, we believe now is the time to deliver capable, deployable interceptor platforms,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. “The ZenaDrone 2000 platform is purpose-built for this moment, a heavy-lift, long-endurance interceptor designed to operate across land, coastal, and maritime environments without the logistical constraints of battery-dependent systems. We are moving this program to flight testing with urgency to meet these critical needs.”</p><p>ZenaDrone 2000 is a gas-powered multifunction all-domain capable interceptor drone operable from land bases, coastal positions, and vessel decks. Once airborne, the system is being designed to autonomously detect, track, and engage multiple slow-moving hostile drones while simultaneously using onboard AI-driven threat identification and engagement protocols that will be engineered for effectiveness against a single drone or coordinated drone swarm attacks.</p><p><i><strong>ZenaDrone 2000 — Key Defense Capabilities:</strong></i></p><ul><li>Maritime Launch Capability: Designed for deployment from naval vessels, offshore platforms, and littoral installations, enabling rapid response</li><li>Gas-Powered Endurance: High-performance gas propulsion system delivers extended flight range and loiter time, far exceeding battery-limited alternatives</li><li>Autonomous Threat Detection: Onboard AI and sensor fusion algorithms identify and classify slow-moving aerial threats in real time</li><li>Precision Intercept Engagement: Purpose-built engagement systems enable the intercept of incoming threats efficiently and accurately, minimizing collateral risk</li><li>Asymmetric Cost Advantage: Designed to be a fraction of the cost of missile-based interception systems, delivering decisive operational savings for defense budgets</li><li>Swarm-Ready Architecture: Scalable platform designed for coordinated multi-drone deployment to counter simultaneous multi-vector drone attack scenarios</li></ul><p><i><strong>Key Specifications:</strong></i></p><ul><li><strong>Max Takeoff Weight: </strong>200 kg</li><li><strong>Payload Capacity: </strong>40 kg</li><li><strong>Hover Endurance: </strong>4+ hours</li><li><strong>Engine: </strong>Gasoline powered, 4 × 36-inch propellers</li><li><strong>Footprint: </strong>224.8 × 82.0 cm (folded) / 180.4 × 365.8 cm (deployed)</li><li><strong>Camera Coverage: </strong>360° — 7 cameras</li></ul><p>The ZenaDrone 2000 is a core component of the company’s integrated defense system along with the IQ Glider, a marine-based launch and refueling station, and the Interceptor P-1, a one-way and low-cost expendable interceptor drone. Together the integrated defense system offers coordinated counter-UAS operations for sea and coastal environments.

<p><strong>Vancouver, British Columbia, (May 12, 2026)</strong> — ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today announces that its new Ukrainian subsidiary, Phoenix Aero LLC, is expected to serve as a manufacturing and export base for counter-UAS and interceptor drone systems targeted to defense customers across Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.&nbsp; These countries include Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman and have demonstrated increasing demand for scalable, lower-cost counter-drone systems. The Lviv-based facility is designed to combine real-world testing conditions with European cost structures to support scalable production for GCC regional defense demand and U.S. defense partners in the Middle East.</p><p>“The Middle East is moving decisively toward attritable, AI-enabled counter-drone systems that can be fielded at scale and at unit economics that legacy air defense platforms cannot match,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “By producing in Western Ukraine, we will be able to offer regional defense customers systems that are continuously refined against real-world threat profiles, manufactured at competitive cost structures, and designed for the volumes these missions require. That combination is what defines the next generation of layered air defense, and our goal is to be a leading Western supplier into that market.”</p><p>ZenaTech management believes Western Ukraine is a strategic location for drone manufacturing and testing due to its established aerospace engineering talent base, competitive production environment, and strong ecosystem of drone innovation and rapid iteration. The region also provides proximity to European logistics corridors, supporting efficient manufacturing scale-up and export pathways for allied markets. Demand for cost-effective counter-drone capabilities across the Middle East has accelerated driven by ongoing low-cost aerial threats, expanding critical infrastructure protection requirements, and increasing adoption of AI-enabled defense systems according to multiple industry and defense analysis experts.&nbsp;</p><p>ZenaTech intends to expand its regional engagement across GCC and broader Middle East U.S. allied markets through direct engagement establishing relationships with sovereign defense procurement authorities and integrators, participation in defense&nbsp; industry exhibitions and conferences, and development of technical support capabilities, supported by its EMEA operations headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Phoenix Aero LLC is intended to serve as the production and product-validation engine that underpins these go-to-market efforts.</p><p>Phoenix Aero LLC is expected to support the manufacturing and testing of counter-UAS solutions, including the Interceptor P-1 one-way expendable interceptor drone for low-cost, scalable aerial threat interception designed to sell for less than $5000 USD; the ZenaDrone 2000 autonomous UAV platform designed for maritime interception operations; and the IQ-Glider marine-based launch and refueling station. Together these solutions provide AI-enabled capabilities in an integrated defense system.&nbsp;</p><p>The Company expects to provide further updates on significant developments and milestones achieved regarding Phoenix Aero LLC over the coming quarters.

<p>VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today provides a business update and future outlook in a letter to shareholders from CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.</p><p>To our valued shareholders,</p><p>ZenaTech continued its exponential transformation in 2025 with disciplined execution across every dimension of our business, laying the foundation for scaling our AI autonomy drone platforms for commercial and defense markets. We completed 20 acquisitions, launched a new revenue-generating DaaS segment, advanced our defense technology pipeline, and built a balance sheet capable of supporting sustained long-term growth. The results speak clearly: full-year revenue reached a record $12.9 million, a 558% increase over the $2.0 million we reported in 2024, while total assets grew 188% to $99.8 million (all figures are expressed in Canadian dollars).</p><p>These numbers reflect a fundamental shift in the nature of ZenaTech: from a technology development company with a software revenue base to a diversified, multi-segment operating company with a scalable Drone as a Service platform, a growing enterprise software business, and a maturing defense technology portfolio. We have built the foundation for meaningful, recurring revenue growth, and I’m extremely proud to share with you the story of how we got here and where we are going.</p><p>Our full-year revenue of $12.9 million was driven primarily by the successful launch of our Drone as a Service segment, which contributed $10.1 million, representing 78% of total consolidated revenue in its very first full year of operations. Our Enterprise SaaS Software segment delivered $2.8 million in revenue, a 43% increase over 2024, reflecting the continued strength of our subscription and license fee business across workplace scheduling, medical records, law enforcement data management, warehouse management, and other verticals.</p><p>Our balance sheet strengthened considerably during the year. Cash and reserves increased 301% to $15.1 million, and working capital rose 439% to $18.3 million. Total assets crossed $99.8 million, with property, plant, and equipment growing from approximately $417,000 to $11.7 million as our operational footprint expanded. Intangible assets reached $10.4 million, and we recognized $12.1 million in goodwill from our land surveying business combinations. While net loss was $45.2 million, it reflects both the investment-heavy nature of our DaaS launch year and the active development of drone products to meet current market demand. We expect the cost profile of our DaaS operations to improve materially over the next 12 to 24 months as our acquired companies complete drone integration and expand their service offerings, all the while we will continue to innovate new drone products that will lead the market and drive demand.</p><p><i>Drone as a Service: Building a Scalable AI Autonomy Platform</i></p><p>The launch of our Drone as a Service segment was the defining commercial development of 2025. In a single year, we built a multi-location, revenue-generating DaaS network by completing 19 land survey, mapping, inspection, and cleaning company acquisitions across the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. Each acquisition is immediately accretive to revenue, and we expect margin improvement over a 12- to 24-month integration period as we convert field operations to ZenaDrone-based delivery and expand each location's service portfolio.</p><p>By year end, our DaaS network had grown to 19 locations globally, and we subsequently added a new corporate location in Orlando, bringing the current total to 24 DaaS locations worldwide. We also introduced new hardware tailored specifically to our DaaS operations, including the IQ Quad, built specifically for land surveys, and added quantum navigation software enabling our drones to operate in GPS-denied environments. These product additions deepen the technological differentiation we bring to acquired operations and expand the types of contracts we can competitively pursue.</p><p>Looking ahead to 2026, our 2025 acquisitions will contribute a full year of revenue rather than partial-year contributions, which we expect to drive meaningful top-line growth on its own. Beyond that baseline effect, we plan to pursue additional targeted acquisitions in sectors ripe for drone-enabled disruption, entering new U.S. states and international markets. As drone conversion progresses across our existing locations, we expect to reduce per-job costs while simultaneously expanding service capacity and cross-selling opportunities within each location.</p><p><i>Defense Segment: Entering Counter-UAS and Advancing Toward Procurement-Ready Status</i></p><p>Our defense business made meaningful progress in 2025, and we enter 2026 better positioned than at any prior point in our history to convert that progress into future contracts and revenue. During the year, we engaged directly with program managers and decision makers across U.S. defense agencies and met with Members of Congress, advancing our positioning for demonstrations and pilot programs planned for 2026.</p><p>On the technology front, we commenced prototype development of two interceptor drone platforms, the gas-powered ZenaDrone 2000 and the one-way Interceptor P-1, as well as a marine launching station called the IQ Glider, establishing ZenaTech's entry into the maritime-based interceptor drone and the counter-UAS integrated defense system market. We also added the ZenaDrone 1000 to the Green UAS certification process, bringing the total number of our drones in that pathway to three. Green UAS certification is the required precursor to Blue UAS certification, which will enable our inclusion in U.S. Defense procurement contracts.</p><p>The strategic rationale for our defense investment is clear. The demand for drone solutions across both defense and commercial markets continues to grow at double-digit rates, and we believe we can capture meaningful market share in 2026 and beyond. The current political environment underscores the increasing need for optimized and cost-effective technology, as modern asymmetrical warfare presents an acute and growing challenge. Enemy threats relying on inexpensive-to-deploy drone technology, are extraordinarily costly to counter with traditional intercept methods. Our Interceptor P-1, planned to be priced at under $5,000, is designed to manage drone swarm threats in a cost-effective and scalable manner. The IQ Aqua addresses another emerging sub-surface threat domain, offering the ability to detect and respond to underwater mine threats without exposing divers or manned vessels to risk. With these solutions, we have expanded our potential customer base to NATO and allied countries including Gulf states.</p><p>To support accelerated production of our defense interceptor systems, we announced this month that we are establishing a manufacturing facility and launching operations in Ukraine. This will serve the dual purpose of scaling production of our counter-UAS systems and providing a testing environment to validate our products under active threat conditions. We have also expanded manufacturing operations across our facilities in Taiwan (through our Spider Vision Sensors subsidiary), the UAE, and Mesa, Arizona, where our new NDAA-compliant facility positions us to serve U.S. defense customers with American-made drone systems. Additionally, we opened an office in South Korea, solidifying our commitment to providing real-time response to emerging needs on the international stage.</p><p><i>Enterprise Software: Steady Growth, Expanded Portfolio, Strategic Expertise</i></p><p>Our Enterprise SaaS Software segment continued its consistent growth trajectory in 2025, delivering $2.8 million in revenue, a 43% year-over-year increase. We also expanded our software portfolio through the acquisition of Othership Limited, a U.K.-based workplace scheduling and management software company, broadened both our product capabilities and our geographic reach. We also acquired Now Solutions, an HR services software company, which added a 12th brand to our SaaS business segment. These additions reinforce our software segment as a stable, recurring-revenue complement to our higher-growth DaaS and defense businesses. Importantly, our software development in-house expertise is strategic to our drone solutions development and ability to rapidly execute our vertically integrated drone platforms.</p><p><i>Outlook for 2026</i></p><p>We enter 2026 with momentum across all of our business segments and a clear strategic roadmap for building on the foundation we established in 2025. Our priorities for the year center on integrating and scaling our platforms, converting technology investment into revenue, and continuing the disciplined M&amp;A activity that has driven our growth.</p><p>In our DaaS segment, the primary growth drivers are full-year revenue contributions from 2025 acquisitions, continued drone conversion across existing locations, and the addition of new acquisition targets in non-digitized sectors where drone innovation can deliver transformative cost and efficiency improvements. We will also continue expanding our manufacturing capacity across our three facilities and bringing our Arizona and Ukraine sites to full operational status.</p><p>For our drone technology and defense business, 2026 will be a year of converting development progress into validated, revenue-generating products. We plan to advance development, testing, and certification across our drone solutions portfolio, with particular focus on the ZenaDrone 1000 platform and IQ Series for industrial applications, including precision agriculture, indoor inventory management and logistics, and security and inspection markets. On the defense side, we plan to execute demonstrations and pilot programs with U.S. Defense agency stakeholders for applications, including indoor inventory management and cargo drone operations, while continuing development of our Counter-UAS platforms. We also plan to continue to pursue both Green and Blue UAS certifications to position ourselves to become a key provider to the U.S. Department of War, and other key defence and government agencies, as appropriate.</p><p>We are a company with significant ambitions, and I am proud of the team we have built and the results we have delivered. The work of 2025 has given us a platform, a portfolio, and a pipeline that we believe will generate compounding value for shareholders in the years ahead. I am grateful for your continued support and confidence, and I look forward to sharing our progress with you throughout 2026.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Shaun Passley, Ph.D.</p><p>CEO, ZenaTech, Inc.</p><p><strong>About ZenaTech</strong></p><p><a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=_Vt6rFEd20auUmu9y8Wn-8Kt4WcJNPaYcKwQbHWJ6WUcLLaP7JZH7K3NLjNw64bjVEK6mCzjCgYzBD2FLZ3fuw==">ZenaTech</a>, Inc.
