Telos Lifts 2026 Revenue Outlook to $198.2 Million-$200.7 Million

Telos raised its 2026 revenue outlook to $198.2 million to $200.7 million, citing new contract awards, stronger TSA PreCheck volumes and improved margins on large programs. The company announced the higher range alongside its third-quarter results on Nov. 9, covered in TokenPost’s report on the quarter.

The revised outlook compares with a range of $187 million to $195 million as of the company’s second-quarter call. Telos pointed to more than $58 million in new Information Assurance awards, increased TSA PreCheck volumes and margin outperformance on large programs as drivers of the higher forecast.

Telos expects to start phasing out low-margin third-party software resale in the fourth quarter of 2026. The company projects that the change will create a $32 million year-over-year revenue headwind in 2027. Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mark Bendza said the phaseout would have a modest effect on profit.
