TRANSCRIPT:
00:00:00 Peggy Johnson
Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today.
00:00:03 Peggy Johnson
I'm Peggy Johnson, CEO of Agility Robotics.
00:00:06 Peggy Johnson
I joined Agility to turn a breakthrough technology into a business serving the world's leading enterprises.
00:00:13 Peggy Johnson
Throughout my career at Qualcomm and Microsoft, I worked to bring new technologies into commercial use, building partnerships, understanding customer requirements, and creating businesses around what those technologies made possible.
00:00:26 Peggy Johnson
I saw that same opportunity in humanoid robotics on an extraordinary scale.
00:00:32 Peggy Johnson
In 2026, we are delivering on that mission.
00:00:36 Peggy Johnson
It has been a year of landmarks for agility, and we're just getting started.
00:00:41 Peggy Johnson
Earlier today, we issued a major commercial update highlighting the significant expansion of our relationship with GXO Logistics.
00:00:52 Peggy Johnson
Building on our successful deployment at GXO's Flowery Branch, Georgia facility, where Digit has moved more than 100,000 totes, we are officially expanding our partnership to deploy Digit humanoid robots at 2 new US sites in Statesville, North Carolina, and Lebanon, Tennessee.
00:01:13 Peggy Johnson
Under this expanded agreement, Digit will support e-commerce fulfillment, which involves repetitive material handling tasks,
00:01:21 Peggy Johnson
beginning in early 2027, with digit 4 and migrating to digit 5 as it becomes available.
00:01:29 Peggy Johnson
As I noted in today's announcement, expanding our footprint with GXO is the ultimate proof point that customer operations are moving from pilots to large-scale network adoption.
00:01:41 Peggy Johnson
GXO was early to see the transformative potential of humanoid robots in logistics, and together, we've proven that Digit delivers real operational value every single day.
00:01:54 Peggy Johnson
Expanding into Statesville and Lebanon validates our robots as a service deployment model and reinforces Agility's position as the commercial leader in humanoid robotics.
00:02:06 Peggy Johnson
To frame our operational progress beyond GXO, let me start by reviewing some hard numbers.
00:02:13 Peggy Johnson
We secured a landmark $300 million digit 5 order subject to contractual milestones, features, and specifications, with initial units on track to ship to early access customers in early 2027.
00:02:28 Peggy Johnson
2
Our commercial pipeline includes 30 prospective customers across active discussions, targeting 100 customers by year-end 2027.
00:02:37 Peggy Johnson
And we secured $200 million in committed capital led by Foxconn, alongside other world-class investors to fund our continued growth.
00:02:46 Peggy Johnson
Agility is the first and we believe the only company with humanoid robots commercially deployed in live customer operations.
00:02:54 Peggy Johnson
In a sector attracting enormous attention, that distinction matters.
00:02:58 Peggy Johnson
Our robots are performing paid work every day, and Digit 4 has now accumulated more than 65,000 hours of real-world operational experience.
00:03:09 Peggy Johnson
Beyond GXO, our deep relationships with industry leaders like Scheffler, Mercado Libre, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada span active deployments, commercial agreements, and successful pilots.
00:03:22 Peggy Johnson
These experiences have taught us a great deal about safety, reliability, integration, and return on investment.
00:03:28 Peggy Johnson
They've also helped us understand how a successful application in one part of a facility creates opportunities across the rest of a customer's operations.
00:03:37 Peggy Johnson
That knowledge is directly built into Digit 5.
00:03:41 Peggy Johnson
In September, we unveiled Digit 5, designed to be the world's first cooperatively safe humanoid robot.
00:03:47 Peggy Johnson
In practical terms, it's designed to work safely near people.
00:03:51 Peggy Johnson
Because customer facilities are built around people, a robot that can operate safely in close proximity to human workers addresses a much broader set of needs.
00:04:01 Peggy Johnson
3
It was precisely this customer-driven capability that helped us secure our landmark $300 million digit 5 contract, where the customer plans to expand across multiple facilities and applications.
00:04:13 Peggy Johnson
In addition to that core commitment, today's announcement highlights expanded deployments with GXO and four manufacturing customers in paid programs that showcase the breadth of market demand.
00:04:25 Peggy Johnson
First, AgCo, a global leader in agricultural machinery, where we signed a commercial agreement for a pilot at their Heston, Kansas facility starting in 2027 to sort, stack parts, and store totes.
00:04:39 Peggy Johnson
This extends our reach directly into agricultural equipment manufacturing.
00:04:44 Peggy Johnson
Second, a major global automaker that sold millions of vehicles last fiscal year, focusing on specific assembly line workflow automation.
00:04:53 Peggy Johnson
Third, a global automotive components manufacturer with billions in annual revenue, expanding our footprint across the automotive supply chain.
00:05:02 Peggy Johnson
And 4th, a US-based consumer products manufacturer with billions in net sales, applying digit to heavy material handling and repetitive physical tasks.
00:05:12 Peggy Johnson
What drives this expansion systematically is our customer acceleration program, or CAP.
00:05:18 Peggy Johnson
Under our illustrative robots as a service model, a single robot can generate approximately $500,000 in revenue over five years, meaning a 50-robot deployment represents $25 million in potential revenue.
00:05:31 Peggy Johnson
CAP ensures our prospective customers are financially and operationally aligned for large-scale adoption.
00:05:39 Peggy Johnson
Beyond traditional commercial logistics and manufacturing, new high-value markets are emerging, notably defense.
00:05:46 Peggy Johnson
We are actively exploring 2 deals in the defense sector.
00:05:50 Peggy Johnson
4
These discussions are at an early stage and no agreements have been signed yet.
00:05:54 Peggy Johnson
Along with these discussions, I am personally participating in Project Meridian alongside co-directors Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich as a consultant to MITRE on the future of warfare.
00:06:07 Peggy Johnson
We enter 2027 with ambitious goals and strong conviction.
00:06:12 Peggy Johnson
As we have communicated by year-end 2027, we are targeting up to 25 committed customer facility deployments, compared with 9 today.
00:06:23 Peggy Johnson
These are aggressive goals.
00:06:25 Peggy Johnson
We believe we can achieve them because of the customer engagement, operating experience, and commercial commitments behind them.
00:06:33 Peggy Johnson
We have the core pieces in place.
00:06:36 Peggy Johnson
a product shaped by customer requirements, manufacturing capacity at RoboFab, fleet management software through Agility Arc, and a team experienced in deploying and supporting robots in real operations.
00:06:50 Peggy Johnson
We're also advancing customer and strategic discussions that we expect to lead to significant announcements as those relationships mature.
00:06:58 Peggy Johnson
Our focus now is execution.
00:07:01 Peggy Johnson
delivering digit 5, converting customer programs into orders, and supporting successful deployments that earn us the opportunity to expand.
00:07:12 Peggy Johnson
We are building for a much larger future.
00:07:16 Peggy Johnson
5
I believe humanoid robotics will help define the next industrial revolution.
00:07:22 Peggy Johnson
Its development will matter to American manufacturing, economic competitiveness, and our ability to build and produce here at home.
00:07:31 Peggy Johnson
Agility has an opportunity and a responsibility to lead.
00:07:36 Peggy Johnson
We plan to list Agility on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol AGLT through our combination with Churchill Capital Corporation 11, which trades under CCXI.
00:07:50 Peggy Johnson
Going public will help accelerate our growth and give a much broader group of investors the opportunity to join our mission and to be part of what we are building.
00:07:59 Peggy Johnson
Creating a new category will bring challenges.
00:08:03 Peggy Johnson
Progress will not always follow a straight line.
00:08:06 Peggy Johnson
What you should expect from us is transparency, clear reporting on our milestones, candid discussion of challenges, and a consistent focus on delivering value for customers and shareholders.
00:08:19 Peggy Johnson
Our vision is a future in which people can hand repetitive, physically demanding work to robot partners
00:08:27 Peggy Johnson
and devote more of their skills to work that benefits from human judgment, creativity, and ingenuity.
00:08:35 Peggy Johnson
We want to help enterprises produce more, strengthen their operations, and create better working lives for the people within them.
00:08:44 Peggy Johnson
Every successful deployment brings that future closer.
00:08:49 Peggy Johnson
Thank you to our customers, partners, employees, and investors for helping us build it.
00:08:56 Peggy Johnson
I look forward to sharing what comes next.
