Joby Aviation Acquires Resonant Sciences for Approximately $500M

Joby Aviation entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Resonant Sciences, a Dayton, Ohio-based defense technology company, for approximately $500M The acquisition will represent a significant expansion of Joby's defense business, delivering immediate scale through a rapidly growing and EBITDA-positive business supporting active U.S. national security programs. Resonant also brings classified infrastructure, qualified products, established production operations and longstanding customer relationships, as well as a deeply experienced technical team. By bringing together the companies' complementary aerospace engineering capabilities, the combination will create a scaled defense growth platform that accelerates autonomy and expands the applications for Joby's technology. Upon closing, Resonant will become Joby's dedicated defense business and continue to operate under the Resonant Sciences name, led by Co-Founder and CEO J. Micah North. Joby's existing defense initiatives, which are built on more than a decade of work with defense and intelligence customers, will be consolidated within the new business unit. These include the development of dual-use turbine-electric and hydrogen-electric aircraft, as well as a dual-use autonomy technology stack. Housing this work within Resonant will allow Joby's commercial aviation organization to maintain its primary focus on certifying, manufacturing, and commercializing its electric air taxi. The combination of Joby and Resonant is also expected to create significant opportunities in adjacent markets. An early focus is expected to be the integration of Joby's dual-use autonomy stack with Resonant's Radio Frequency (RF) sensing and signal-processing capabilities, accelerating the development of software-defined autonomous systems for defense customers. Founded in 2015, Resonant employs approximately 250 people and designs, manufactures and delivers advanced RF and mission systems for U.S. national security customers. The company is also a global leader in low-observability technologies, structures and subsystems, with established capabilities spanning advanced sensing, electronic countermeasures, communications and autonomous systems. That leadership has translated into strong financial performance. Revenue increased approximately 40% year over year to more than $100 million over the last twelve months, and in recent periods the company has operated at high-teens adjusted EBITDA margins. Those margins are expected to expand as production volumes increase and recently awarded programs move into production. This growth is supported by accelerating demand as U.S. defense investment increases across Resonant's core markets. During the first half of 2026, the company secured more than three times the bookings recorded during the same period in 2025, with backlog more than doubling year over year. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory reviews. Joby expects to fund the transaction with approximately $450M in cash and $50M in Joby common stock. The price per share for the common stock consideration was fixed at signing. Certain Resonant employee stockholders will receive a portion of their consideration in shares of Joby common stock, retaining an ongoing economic interest in the combined company.
