Parrot’s professional drone revenue rose 110% to €58.7 million in the first nine months of 2026, the French company said on 28 October. The whole group took €81.0 million, already more than its €79.8 million for all of 2025.
The growth is one drone. The ANAFI UKR, a small reconnaissance quadcopter, went to defense forces and government agencies in Sweden, Denmark, the United States, France and Canada in the third quarter, Parrot said. It flies on a frequency-hopping military radio built to resist jamming, among other links.
Drone revenue in the quarter was €16.6 million, up 68%. Parrot expects more than €20 million in the fourth quarter and about €80 million for the year.
The drone business broke even on operating income over the twelve months to September, by Parrot’s account, though it lost money in the third quarter alone. Parrot says orders and deliveries arrive in “significant fluctuations”.
Pix4D, the Swiss mapping-software company Parrot controls, made €7.0 million in the quarter, against €7.1 million a year earlier. It is moving customers from one-off licences to subscriptions, and its licence sales fell sharply, Parrot said.
Parrot expects about €110 million of revenue in 2026, the first year above €100 million. Henri Seydoux, who founded the company in 1994, is still its chairman, chief executive and main shareholder. Its full-year results are due on 26 March 2027.
