Vancouver, British Columbia, (October 13, 2026) — 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, announces organic revenue growth averaging 27.1% in 2026 across its DaaS operations. The metric measures organic revenue growth generated within the approximately 20 primarily U.S. DaaS locations added in 2025 and does not include acquisitions completed in 2026. Some of these individual DaaS locations generated organic growth of over 40% during the period.

ZenaTech also estimates that total revenue for the third quarter of 2026 will be between C$13.4 million and C$14.8 million (US$9.5 million to US$10.5 million), compared to reported second quarter revenue of C$9.3 million (approximately US$6.6 million). DaaS segment revenue was approximately 93% of total revenue in second quarter of 2026. These figures are preliminary and unaudited and final revenue may differ from estimated amounts.

“Over 27% organic growth across the locations we acquired in 2025 shows the Drone as a Service model working as designed: we acquire established survey and inspection businesses, introduce drones and AI into their workflow, and see the results in their revenue,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “We are executing quickly, and each new location strengthens the AI autonomy platform we are building across the network. Drone-based land survey and inspection is a differentiated offering in a traditional industry; our marketing investments are building brand awareness and name recognition, and our acquisition strategy deliberately focuses on regions where geographic growth and economic development are driving construction and business growth, and with it the demand for DaaS. We believe this combination positions ZenaTech for sustained growth.”

For context, IBISWorld estimates the U.S. Surveying & Mapping Services industry has grown at a compound annual rate of 1.3% between 2021 and 2026. The Company’s 27.1% average organic growth is more than 20 times that industry growth rate.

Management attributes the organic growth to a combination of operational and commercial drivers. Operationally, ZenaTech integrates drones and AI into each location’s workflow, speeding up fieldwork and data delivery and automating more of the process, which allows locations to take on more work with their existing teams. It also trains existing land surveyors to become drone pilots, expanding capacity while lowering labor costs. Commercially, ZenaTech’s marketing investments are building name recognition for its DaaS brand and sales leads, and the Company is introducing packaged services tailored to fast-growing segments, including surveying for AI data center construction and services for large residential homebuilders.

ZenaTech’s Drone as a Service model is similar to Software as a Service (SaaS), but instead of delivering software through a subscription, it delivers turnkey drone-powered services and data on a recurring subscription or usage basis. The platform provides business and government customers with drone services using its vertically integrated ZenaDrone drones, for a host of surveying, inspections, maintenance, power washing, and precision agriculture solutions, eliminating the need for customers to own, operate and maintain commercial-grade drone fleets. Through the acquisition of established, under-digitized service businesses, ZenaTech is building a scalable global Drone as a Service network and AI autonomy platform, with recurring revenue and an existing customer base, while integrating advanced drone technologies to deliver greater speed, precision, safety, and data-driven insights. The Company continues to expand its geographic footprint, service offerings, and drone capabilities to drive long-term growth.
