AeroVironment cannot estimate amortization expense of BlueHalo deal

AeroVironment (AVAV) said in its earnings release, “The Company cannot provide a reconciliation to GAAP net income or earnings per diluted share without unreasonable efforts due to the size and complexity of the BlueHalo acquisition and the inherent difficulty of forecasting the amortization of acquired intangibles and purchase price adjustments. Amortization expense of intangibles acquired in the BlueHalo transaction for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026, which is expected to be significant, will be materially impacted by the valuation of the intangibles. Due to the size, complexity and timing of the acquisition, the Company has not completed the valuation of the intangibles and cannot estimate the amortization expense with a reasonable degree of accuracy, and the Company believes such reconciliation could imply a degree of precision that might be confusing or misleading to investors.”
