RedCloud Beats Guidance with $53.7M Record Revenue, Raises 2026 Guidance 20% to $120M

• AI-Powered Intelligent Infrastructure for Trade Scales Globally as Joint Ventures and Partnerships Accelerate Growth
• Revenue Doubled in Second Half 2025

LONDON, Jan. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedCloud Holdings plc (NASDAQ:RCT) ("RedCloud" or the "Company"), the technology company building intelligent infrastructure for global trade, today announced record preliminary full-year 2025 results that exceeded previous management guidance and raised 2026 revenue guidance to $120 million.

Preliminary full-year 2025 revenue reached $53.7 million, representing 15% year-over-year growth and exceeding the Company's previously issued guidance range of $51–$53 million. Based on continued execution, momentum and expanding joint venture deployments, RedCloud is raising its 2026 revenue guidance by 20% to $120 million.

Record 2025 Financial Performance

Preliminary full-year 2025 revenue of $53.7 million exceeded management guidance and reflects accelerating adoption of RedCloud's platform across its global footprint. During 2025, total transaction value grew 31% to $3.2 billion. Cumulative platform trades for the year 2025 were $6.9 billion, with live transaction data actively training RedCloud's AI-driven trading algorithms.

"We beat our guidance and we're scaling with intent," said Justin Floyd, Founder and CEO of RedCloud. "The $14.6 trillion¹ FMCG industry still primarily runs on spreadsheets and phone calls. We're making trade algorithmic. Our joint venture model allows us to deploy intelligent trade infrastructure globally. 2026 is about disciplined expansion and execution."

2026 Outlook

The Company's increased 2026 revenue guidance of $120 million reflects expansion in existing markets, new joint venture deployments, and the upcoming commercial launch of RedAI's agentic trading capabilities, scheduled for February 2026.

"We are building the intelligent infrastructure for global trade," Floyd added. "Powered by NVIDIA and AWS, our platform processes billions of dollars in real-world trade. Global supply chains lose $2 trillion a year to inefficiency. Our AI infrastructure is designed to eliminate that waste at scale."
