Cloudastructure Secures $2.69 Million in First-Half 2025 Contracts — Exceeds Full-Year 2024 Total by 79%

PALO ALTO, CA, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudastructure, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSAI) (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Cloudastructure” or the “Company”), a recognized leader in AI Surveillance and Remote Guarding, today announced that it has signed $2.69 million in contracts during the first half of 2025—a dramatic increase of 274% over the $719,270 signed in the first half of 2024, and a 79% increase compared to the Company’s total full-year 2024 signed contract value of $1.5 million.

Cloudastructure’s commercial momentum in 2025 reflects rapidly growing demand for its intelligent, AI-powered security platform. Organizations across multifamily housing, commercial real estate, and construction are increasingly turning to proactive solutions that address rising safety concerns, labor shortages, and operational inefficiencies. The platform’s real-world performance—demonstrating a more than 98% deterrence rate against threatening activity—has driven broader adoption across key sectors, including:

  • Existing customers, who are scaling deployments across their portfolios.
  • Construction contractors, particularly at the national level, adopting the Mobile Surveillance Trailer Alpha™ as a modern, responsive alternative to outdated systems.
  • HUD and affordable housing providers, leveraging expanded Remote Guarding services to enhance safety and compliance.
  • Mixed-use developments, implementing Cloudastructure’s platform to manage complex, multi-tenant security environments.

“The fact that we have already outpaced our 2024 full-year signed contract total in just six months underscores the market’s growing confidence in our technology and our team,” said James McCormick, CEO of Cloudastructure. “We are seeing strong inbound interest from large-scale operators who no longer view traditional surveillance as sufficient. They want real-time response, crime deterrence, and scalable protection—and that is what we deliver. This is not a seasonal spike—it is the result of sustained execution, product-market fit, and a market that is rapidly shifting toward smarter, leaner, tech-enabled security.”

With a cloud-based architecture, strong gross margins, and a high-ROI value proposition that replaces costly onsite security labor, Cloudastructure is well positioned to build on this momentum and scale aggressively throughout the remainder of 2025 and beyond.

Certain statements in this press release may be considered forward-looking, such as statements containing estimates, projections, and other forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words and phrases such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target” or the negative of such words and other comparable terminology. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Any forward-looking statement expressing an expectation or belief as to future events is expressed in good faith and believed to be reasonable at the time such forward-looking statement is made. However, these statements are not guarantees of future events and involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors beyond our control. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include the risks and uncertainties discussed in the reports that the Company has filed with the SEC, such as its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed in any forward-looking statement. Except as required by applicable law, including U.S. federal securities laws, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform them to actual results or revised expectations.
