New subscription agreement upgrades all Evolv Express® units to Gen2 hardware, Astros first professional baseball team to deploy Evolv eXpedite™ bag screening systems

Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:EVLV), a leading security technology company pioneering AI-based solutions designed to create safer experiences, today announced that it has renewed and expanded its subscription agreement with the Houston Astros, a Major League Baseball team. Under the new agreement, which builds on an original partnership initiated in 2023, the Astros are upgrading their Express fleet to the latest Evolv Express® Gen2 hardware. Evolv Express uses advanced sensor technology and AI to detect concealed threats and identify the person and location of the potential threat, while allowing people to move through checkpoints at their natural walking pace. The system is designed to screen visitors effectively while helping minimize congestion and disruptions to traffic flow at entry points. These systems are deployed venue-wide at Daikin Park, the team's 41,000-seat stadium in downtown Houston, TX, and provide entry screening for all guests and ballpark staff.

The renewal agreement also deploys Evolv eXpedite™ systems at Daikin Park, a first for a professional baseball stadium. eXpedite is Evolv's AI-powered weapons detection solution for bags and is intended as a complement to Express in situations where venue entrants are carrying multiple items. At Daikin Park, the eXpedite units will perform screening for venue staff, who often arrive with high-clutter bags.
