Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also includes revisions to previously issued financial statements as of and for three months ended March 31, 2025, as discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. All relevant amounts presented in this section have been revised, as applicable, to reflect these adjustments. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those identified below and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2025 Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.

Overview

We are a global provider of space-based data, analytics, and space services, offering unique datasets and powerful insights about Earth so that organizations can make decisions with confidence in a rapidly changing world. We build, own, and operate a fully deployed constellation of multi-purpose nanosatellites that observe the Earth in real time using radio frequency (“RF”) technology. The data acquired by our satellites provide global weather intelligence, aircraft and ship movements, and spoofing and jamming detection to help predict how these patterns affect economies, global security, business operations, and the environment. Additionally, we deliver space-based intelligence through a mission-ready satellite network and military-grade analytics. Our platform supports persistent signal monitoring, source detection, and asset tasking across any global region of interest. We also offer Space Services solutions that enable our customers to deploy and scale their own constellation, by leveraging our proven space platform, global ground station network, end-to-end manufacturing facility, and extensive launch partnership network.

We operate in the “listening” (RF) satellite market. We do not operate in the “looking” (imagery) or “talking” (communications) satellite markets.

Our Data Solution Offerings

Our proprietary constellation of Low Earth Multi-Use Receiver (“LEMUR”) satellites collects and transmits data to our proprietary global ground station network. The data is then autonomously moved from ground stations to proprietary data warehouses for cleansing, standardization, fusion and analysis. Our customers receive proprietary data, analysis, and predictive data and solutions delivered seamlessly in real and near real-time.

For each data solution, we have the capability to offer customers a variety of features and additional value. The four forms of data we monetize are:

•
Clean data: Clean and structured data directly from our proprietary satellites;

•
Smart data: Clean data fused with third-party datasets and proprietary analysis to enhance value and provide insights;

•
Predictive data: Big data, artificial intelligence (“AI”), and machine learning (“ML”) algorithms applied to fused data sets to create predictive analytics and insights; and

•
Data Solutions: Data-driven actionable recommendations to solve specific business problems, utilizing the full spectrum of our data analytics suite.

We monetize our proprietary solutions across a broad and growing range of current and target governments and industries including agriculture, logistics, financial services, insurance, aviation operations, energy, and academia, among others. The solutions we provide include space reconnaissance, aviation, weather and climate, and space services.

31

•
Space Reconnaissance: Mission critical satellite data supporting intelligence, and national security operations;

•
Aviation: Insights for highly accurate aircraft monitoring, safety and route optimization;

•
Weather and Climate: Data, insights, and predictive AI analytics for advanced weather forecasts that power high impact decisions:

•
Space Services: Low risk, quick delivery development life cycle and proprietary infrastructure providing space-as-a-service; and

•
Maritime: Precise space-based data used for highly accurate ship monitoring, ship safety, and route optimization, the majority of which was sold in the Maritime Transaction.

We also offer research and development services (“R&D Services”) to third parties, for the advancement of contracted satellite technologies. In addition to providing R&D Services, we grant the counterparty a license to the developed intellectual property.

Recent Developments

On April 8, 2026, we entered into the 2026 Securities Purchase Agreement with the purchasers named therein for the 2026 Private Placement of 5,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a purchase price of $14.00 per share. The aggregate net proceeds from the 2026 Private Placement were approximately $65.5 million, and the 2026 Private Placement closed on April 10, 2026.

Highlights from the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026

•
We successfully launched 19 satellites across two missions.

•
We successfully received the first data from our Hyperspectral Sounder demonstrator satellite.

•
We successfully launched our seventh Optical Inter-Satellite Link satellite, marking a further development in our capabilities for direct optical communication between satellites.

•
We successfully demonstrated single-satellite RFGL techniques on orbit, including the detection and geolocation of S-band and X-band radio frequency signals.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our current and future performance depends on many factors, including, but not limited to, those described below. While these areas present significant opportunity, they also present risks that we must manage to achieve successful results. For additional information about these risks, see the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2025 Form 10-K. If we are unable to address these risks, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Expansion of and Further Penetration of Our Customer Base

We employ a “land and expand” business model that focuses on efficiently acquiring new customers (“land”) and then growing our relationships with these customers over time (“expand”). We have the ability to offer customers additional data sets and a variety of enhanced features that potentially grow the value of the services for which our customers contract with us. Our future revenue growth and profitability are dependent upon our ability to continue to land new customers and then expand adoption of our solutions within their organizations.

Expansion into New Industries and Geographies

As our solutions grow, we continue to focus on further penetration of current and target governments and industries including agriculture, logistics, financial services, insurance, aviation operations, energy and academia, among others. We are also investing sales and marketing resources into additional geographies. Our revenue growth is dependent upon our ability to continue to expand into new industries and geographies. The costs associated with these expansions may adversely affect our results of operations.

32

Investment in Growth

We continue investing in growing our business and capitalizing on our market opportunities while balancing the uncertainties from the macroeconomic environment and geopolitical factors. We intend to continue to add headcount to our global sales and marketing teams to acquire new customers and to increase sales to existing customers. We also intend to add headcount as needed to our research and development teams to increase satellite design, manufacturing and checkout speed as well as improve latency, reliability and satellite life. The costs of these investments may adversely affect our results of operations, but we believe that these investments will contribute to our long-term growth.

Impact of Foreign Exchange Rates

Our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currencies of our foreign operating subsidiaries is the local currency in which each subsidiary operates, including the Euro, the British Pound Sterling, the Singapore Dollar and the Canadian Dollar.

The U.S. Dollar weakened against these local functional currencies for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2025. Approximately one-third of our sales are denominated in foreign currencies, so a weaker U.S. Dollar generally has a positive effect on revenue. Conversely, operating expenses are primarily incurred outside the U.S., so a weaker U.S. Dollar increases expenses. For additional information, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Form 10-K.

The financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars using exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the period for revenue and expenses. To the extent we experience significant currency fluctuations, our results of operations may be impacted.

Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Impact

The macroeconomic environment may cause existing or potential customers to re-evaluate their decision to purchase our offerings, at times resulting in additional customer discounts, extended payment terms, and longer sales cycles. In particular, delays in approving appropriations bills and recent government funding disruptions have and may continue to negatively affect the timing of certain U.S. federal government orders. Negative macroeconomic conditions, including elevated inflation, interest rate volatility, credit market disruptions, trade restrictions and tariffs, and geopolitical tensions, civil unrest, or armed conflicts, have and may continue to affect customer purchasing patterns, occasionally resulting in selective project delays or extended sales cycles. Although imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions have not had a material impact on our business, they could create future supply-chain disruptions or cost pressures. For additional information, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Industry and Business—Uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions have negatively impacted, and may continue to impact, our business, financial condition, and results of operations.” in Part I, Item 1A of the 2025 Form 10-K.

33

Key Business Metrics

We primarily use remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) and Adjusted EBITDA to help us evaluate our business, identify trends, and make strategic decisions. For further information regarding Adjusted EBITDA, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Remaining Performance Obligations

RPO represents the total amount of contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes contract liabilities and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.

As of March 31, 2026, we expect to recognize our RPO over the following future periods (in thousands):

(1) In March 2026, we received notice from our customer to suspend work under a contract. The contract has not been terminated, and our customer has until August 29, 2026 to either cancel the suspension or terminate the contract. Contracted future revenue related to this contract is included in the remaining performance obligations disclosed above. As a result, approximately $15.3 million of revenue previously expected to be recognized within the next 12 months may be delayed to future periods or may not be recognized.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We derive revenue from providing data, insights and access to our cloud-based technology platform sold on a subscription basis. Some of our customer arrangements include additional performance obligations that encompass the delivery of specific goods, services or intellectual property apart from the ongoing services provided on a subscription basis, which may impact the timing of revenue recognition. Additionally, some of our customer arrangements include material rights to receive discounted subscription services in the future, which impacts the timing of revenue recognition.

Subscription periods for our solutions generally range from one to two years and are typically non-cancelable, with customers having the right to terminate their agreements only if we materially breach our obligations under the agreement. Our subscription fees are typically billed either monthly or quarterly in advance. For additional information related to our revenue recognition, see Notes 2 and 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs, depreciation, hosted infrastructure and high-power computing costs, third-party operating and royalty costs associated with delivering data and services to customers, costs associated with R&D Services, allocated overhead costs and amortization of purchased intangibles (e.g., customer relationships and developed technology). Overhead costs primarily include allocable amounts of utilities, rent, depreciation expense on assets used directly in revenue-producing activities, indirect materials, production and test administration expenses, and repairs and maintenance.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, third-party consulting fees, and computing costs. Our research and development efforts are focused on improving our satellite technology, developing new data sets, developing new algorithms, enhancing our smart and predictive analytics, and enhancing the ease of use and utility of our space-based data solutions.

36

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, sales commissions, marketing and advertising costs, costs incurred in the development of customer relationships, brand development costs, travel-related expenses, allowance for current expected credit losses, and amortization of purchased intangibles.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist of employee-related expenses for personnel in our executive, finance and accounting, facilities, legal, human resources, and management information systems functions, as well as other administrative employees. In addition, general and administrative expenses include costs related to external legal fees, corporate insurance, accounting, tax and audit fees, office facilities, software subscription, and other corporate.

Loss on Decommissioned Satellites and Other Assets Write-offs. Loss on decommissioned satellites consists of the write-off of remaining capitalized costs related to the manufacture and launch of satellites that are deorbited, decommissioned, or otherwise fail before the end of their useful lives. Other assets write-offs primarily consist of assets not placed into service and deemed obsolete without future economic benefit.

Allowance for Current Expected Credit Loss on Notes Receivable. Allowance for current expected credit loss on notes receivable consists of the reserve recorded for expected credit losses on a note receivable and related accrued interest due from a Space Services customer.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Income. Interest income includes interest earned on our cash balances and short-term marketable securities.

Interest Expense. Interest expense primarily includes interest costs associated with our debt and amortization of deferred financing costs.

Gain on Sale of a Business. The gain on the sale of our maritime business reflects the excess of the sale proceeds over the net book value of the assets sold, net of transaction costs and other related adjustments.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt includes applicable premium, exit fee, legal fees, and other fees associated with the payoff of existing debt.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Earnout Liability. Change in fair value of contingent earnout liability includes mark-to-market adjustments to reflect changes in the fair value of the contingent earnout liability.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities. Change in fair value of warrant liabilities includes mark-to-market adjustments to reflect changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and the exchange of warrants for common stock.

Issuance of Stock Warrants. Issuance of stock warrants includes expense related to the value of the right to purchase Company shares.

Foreign Exchange Gain/Loss. Foreign exchange gain/loss consists of the net effect of realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in the currency exchange rates for transactions denominated in non-functional currency relative to each subsidiary’s functional currency. We use the local currency as our functional currency for our subsidiaries in Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Germany, and Canada.

Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net consists primarily of tax credits, grant income, share of equity investment loss, write-off of certain prepaid assets, and liquidated damages paid to investors in the 2025 Private Placement (as defined in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below).

Income Tax Provision

The provision for income taxes consists of federal income taxes in the U.S. and income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions. We do not provide for income taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries since we intend to invest these earnings outside of the U.S. permanently. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Total revenue decreased by $38.9 million, or 35%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared with 2024. The decline was primarily driven by a $24.6 million reduction following the Maritime Transaction. Revenue also decreased by $9.6 million due to revenue recognized in 2024 upon the satisfaction of a performance obligation for a Space Services customer, with no comparable revenue recognized in 2025. In addition, revenue decreased by $2.7 million due to lower activity under NASA’s earth observation weather data award and by approximately $1.9 million as a result of reduced purchases of space-based data.

Our diversification across government and commercial customers worldwide strengthens our business by providing multiple sources of demand and reducing reliance on any single customer or geographic region. The following tables present revenue disaggregated between government and commercial customers and by geographic region.

Cost of revenue decreased by $28.2 million, or 40%, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with 2024. This decrease was primarily due to lower satellite operations expense of $8.5 million, depreciation expense of $7.8 million, personnel costs of $7.7 million, and software expense of $3.9 million.

The reduction in satellite operations expense was primarily due to launch-related costs recognized in 2024 in connection with a Space Services contract that did not recur in 2025. The decrease in depreciation expense reflects accelerated depreciation recorded in 2024 due to increased solar activity during the current solar cycle, which shortened the estimated useful lives of certain satellites and resulted in those satellites becoming fully depreciated during 2024. These events did not recur in 2025. Personnel costs declined due to lower R&D Services activity in 2025. The decrease in software expense was primarily attributable to the Maritime Transaction.

Gross margin for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 41% and 36%, respectively. This increase was primarily driven by the reduction in cost of revenue described above.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of our research and development, our sales and marketing, our general and administrative expenses, loss on decommissioned satellites and other assets write-offs, and allowance for current expected credit loss on notes receivable. As we continue to invest in our growth, including through hiring additional personnel, we expect our operating expenses to increase in absolute dollars as revenue grows; however, we expect our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue to decrease over time.

Research and development expenses increased $7.4 million, or 25%, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with 2024. This increase was due to higher personnel costs of $7.4 million and equipment expenses of $1.4 million, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in professional services. The increase in personnel costs was driven by lower R&D Services activity, which reduced the proportion of costs allocated to cost of revenue. The increase in equipment expenses was related to software and web hosting, which increased due to greater platform development during the period.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $7.4 million, or 32%, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with 2024. This decrease was driven by a $5.9 million reduction in personnel costs and a $0.6 million reduction in professional services expenses. The decline in personnel costs was due to lower headcount following the Maritime Transaction and lower stock-based compensation. The decrease in professional services was primarily due to reduced spending on public relations and external marketing support due to the Maritime Transaction and the transition of public relations activities in-house.

The increase in professional services expenses was primarily due to higher third-party accounting, legal, and consulting fees associated with the Maritime Transaction and legal proceedings. For additional information regarding legal proceedings, see Part I, Item 3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The increase in personnel costs was driven by higher stock-based compensation expense of $3.0 million due to employee separations, an increase of $2.1 million in bonus expense, and an increase of $1.1 million in severance expense, which were all related to the Maritime Transaction.

Loss on decommissioned satellites and other assets write-offs increased $5.7 million, or 165%, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with 2024. Of this increase, $2.9 million was due to a non-cash charge recorded in 2025 resulting from the disposal of obsolete construction-in-process materials, for which there was no comparable expense in 2024. In addition, losses on decommissioned satellites increased by $2.8 million, driven by the deorbiting of three satellites and the decision to discontinue support for three underperforming satellites in 2025.

Due to the nature of these events, we cannot predict the magnitude or frequency of future decommissioning losses.

Interest income increased by $0.9 million, or 57%, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with 2024. This increase was due to a higher average balance of marketable securities during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Prior to the Maritime Transaction, we did not hold marketable securities, and such balances increased following the closing. The average balance of marketable securities was $48.4 million and $11.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Interest expense decreased by $12.9 million, or 64%, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with 2024, due to the repayment of our outstanding debt on April 25, 2025.

Gain on sale of a business was $154.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, with no comparable amount recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024. The gain was driven by the excess of proceeds from the Maritime Transaction over the net book value of the assets sold, net of transaction costs and other related adjustments. For additional information, see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, with no comparable amount recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024. The loss resulted from the repayment and termination of our existing debt facilities, including approximately $10.5 million related to the Blue Torch credit facility and $1.5 million related to the SIF loan, and included applicable premiums, exit fees, legal fees, and other associated costs. For additional information, see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Change in fair value of contingent earnout liability was a gain of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a loss of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing an improvement of $2.7 million year-over-year. The gain in 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in the liability’s fair value resulting from a decline in the price of our Class A common stock, while the loss in 2024 was driven by an increase in the liability’s fair value resulting from a higher stock price and volatility. The liability is scheduled to expire in August 2026, and the probability of achieving the earnout target is considered to be zero. For additional information, see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities was a gain of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a loss of $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing an improvement of $8.5 million year-over-year. The gain in 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in the liability’s fair value resulting from a decline in the price of our Class A common stock. In addition, all warrants other than the Urgent Warrants were exercised on or before June 20, 2025; as a result, those warrants no longer impact changes in fair value of warrant liabilities subsequent to that date. The loss in 2024 was primarily due to the increase in the price of our Class A common stock related to warrants issued to Blue Torch. For additional information regarding our warrants and the definition of Urgent Warrants, see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Issuance of stock warrant expense decreased by $2.4 million, or 100%, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with 2024. The expense recorded in 2024 related to warrants issued in connection with a definitive Securities Purchase Agreement with institutional investors, and no comparable expense was recognized in 2025.

We recognized a foreign exchange gain of $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a loss of $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a year-over-year improvement of $14.9 million. The gain in 2025

41

was primarily driven by the remeasurement of intercompany balances denominated in U.S. dollars held by our Luxembourg, Germany, and U.K. entities and owed to our U.S. entity resulting from the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and British Pound Sterling. The loss in 2024 was primarily due to the remeasurement of intercompany balances between our Luxembourg entity and the U.S. entity denominated in U.S. dollars, resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro.

Other expense, net decreased $0.3 million, or 14% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 2024. This decrease was due to an increase of $0.4 million in tax credits, a decrease of $0.4 million in equity investment losses, a decrease of $0.4 million in loss on asset disposals, and a decrease of $0.3 million related to the Maritime Transaction. These net decreases to other expense were partially offset by expense of $1.2 million in liquidated damages related to the 2025 Private Placement. For additional information regarding the 2025 Private Placement, see Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Income tax provision was $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, reflecting an increase primarily due to taxable income recognized on the gain on the sale of the maritime business.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We believe the tax changes included in the OBBBA will not materially impact our income tax provision.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that in addition to our results determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) is useful in evaluating our business, results of operations, and financial condition. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as this eliminates the effects of certain variables that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance. In addition to our GAAP measures, we use this non-GAAP financial measure internally for budgeting and resource allocation purposes and in analyzing our financial results.

We define EBITDA as net income (loss), plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus interest, net, and plus income tax provision. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for any gain on sale of a business, loss on extinguishment of debt, change in fair value of contingent earnout liability, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, issuance of stock warrants, foreign exchange (gain) loss, other expense, net, stock-based compensation, mergers and acquisition related expenses, loss on decommissioned satellites and other assets write-offs, other unusual and infrequent costs, and other acquisition accounting amortization. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can be useful in providing an understanding of the underlying results of operations and trends, an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. While Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under GAAP, management uses this financial measure to evaluate and forecast business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income (loss) as it does not take into account certain requirements, such as capital expenditures and related depreciation, interest payments, tax benefits, stock-based compensation, other unusual and infrequent costs, and other acquisition accounting amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA may vary from the use of similarly titled measures by others in our industry due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation.

42

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors should note that the excluded items may have had, and may in the future have, a material impact on our reported financial results. Investors should read this discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto also included within.

For the reasons set forth below, we believe that excluding the following items provides information that is helpful in understanding our results of operations, evaluating our future prospects, comparing our financial results across accounting periods, and comparing our financial results to our peers, many of which provide similar non-GAAP financial measures.

•
Gain on sale of a business. We exclude this as a material unusual item that does not reflect the ongoing operational results of our business.

•
Loss on extinguishment of debt. We exclude this item because these charges are not indicative of the ongoing servicing of our debt and do not reflect the core operating performance of our business.

•
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities and contingent earnout liabilities. We exclude these non-cash gains and losses because they do not reflect the underlying operating performance of the business.

•
Issuance of stock warrants. We exclude these charges because they are non-cash in nature and do not reflect the underlying operating performance of the business.

•
Foreign exchange (gain) loss. We incur foreign currency gains and losses on foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. As we do not hedge these currency exposures, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses result from fluctuations in exchange rates. Since such gains and losses are driven by macroeconomic factors and can vary significantly between periods, we believe their exclusion is useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of our ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis.

•
Other expense, net. We exclude other expense, net because it includes non-operating items and other gains and losses that are not reflective of our core operating performance and may fluctuate between periods, such as debt prepayment penalties, legal settlements, equity investment losses, and gains or losses on asset disposals.

•
Stock-based compensation. We exclude these expenses primarily because they are non-cash charges used when we assess operating expenses and budgeting. Moreover, because of varying valuation methodologies and the award types under ASC Topic 718, we believe excluding stock-based compensation expenses allows investors to better compare our recurring core business results of operations and those of other companies.

•
Loss on decommissioned satellites and other assets write-offs. We exclude these charges because they represent the accelerated write-off of assets that would otherwise be accounted for as depreciation and would be excluded as part of our EBITDA calculation.

•
Other unusual and infrequent costs. We exclude these items because they are not reflective of our ongoing operating results. Examples include accounting, legal and other professional fees associated with the financial restatement; legal fees related to the SEC subpoena received in July 2025, and a Space Services customer dispute, and liquidated damages associated with the Registration Rights Agreement entered into with the purchasers in the 2025 Private Placement (as defined in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below).

•
Other acquisition accounting amortization. We exclude non-cash amortization of purchased data rights and certain purchased technologies as these expenses are the result of acquisition accounting and are not indicative of our core operating performance.

Limitations on the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures because non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which items are adjusted to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in our public disclosures. Some of these limitations are:

•
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our former debt;

•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and

•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect decommissioned satellites and other assets write-offs and does not reflect the cash capital expenditure requirements for the replacements of lost satellites. While these expenses could occur in a given year, the existence and magnitude of these costs could vary greatly and are unpredictable.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business, and to view our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity to fund our operations are from cash and cash equivalents of $24.8 million and marketable securities of $57.0 million, primarily attributable to proceeds of $109.5 million from the Maritime Transaction and proceeds of $37.3 million from the 2025 Private Placement (as defined below).

44

Of the $24.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, approximately $13.9 million was held outside of the U.S., with the remaining $10.9 million held in the U.S. These amounts compare to cash and cash equivalents of $19.2 million as of December 31, 2024, of which $14.4 million was held outside of the U.S. and the remaining $4.8 million was held in the U.S. The cash and cash equivalent amounts are exclusive of restricted cash, which totaled $0.5 million as of each of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Since our inception, we have been in an operating cash flow deficit as we have made significant investments in our technology infrastructure, built out our research and development foundation, grown sales and marketing resources to drive revenue, and scaled general and administrative functions to enable operating effectiveness.

We monitor our cash balances, anticipated revenue, operating expenses, and capital expenditures, and we prepare a going concern assessment to ensure we have sufficient resources for at least the next twelve months. Our key assumptions include timely customer collections, expected costs, and access to financing. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect our liquidity.

We believe our current cash balances and expected inflows are sufficient to meet our operational and capital needs for the next twelve months.

2025 Private Placement

On March 12, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2025 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers named therein for the private placement (the “2025 Private Placement”) of (i) 4,843,750 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $8.00 per share and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 156,250 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $7.9999 per Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants had an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of Class A common stock, were exercisable immediately, and remained outstanding until fully exercised. The aggregate net proceeds for the 2025 Private Placement were $37.3 million, after deducting offering expenses. The 2025 Private Placement closed on March 14, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, all Pre-Funded Warrants had been exercised on a cashless basis.

Maritime Transaction

On April 25, 2025, we completed the sale of our maritime business to Kpler Holding SA for approximately $238.9 million. The sale did not include any portion of our satellite network or operations. As part of the transaction, a portion of the proceeds was used to settle a prior dispute with L3Harris pursuant to a settlement agreement providing for the full and complete resolution and release of all disputes asserted in connection with the A&R L3 Harris Agreement between exactEarth and L3 Harris, and to repay all outstanding obligations under our financing agreements, including the Blue Torch and SIF loan facilities.

For additional details regarding the terms associated with our financing arrangements, see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Equity Distribution Agreement

On September 14, 2022, we entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement with Canaccord Genuity LLC, as sales agent. In accordance with the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our Class A common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $85.0 million from time to time through the agent pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, which became effective on September 26, 2022. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $76.8 million of shares remained unsold; however, due to late filings of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025, and the expiration of the applicable registration statement, no further sales can be made under the agreement.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our largest source of operating cash inflows is cash collections from our customers. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for employee-related expenditures, expenses related to our technology infrastructure (including ground stations costs), expenses related to our computing infrastructure (including computing power, database storage and content delivery costs), building infrastructure costs (including leases for office space), fees for third-party services, and marketing program costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, we are required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Our contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple solutions and services to a customer. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer solutions or services that are capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the solution or service either on its own or with other available resources, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the solution or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Determining whether solutions and services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or combined as a single performance obligation involves significant judgment that requires us to assess the nature of the promise and value delivered to the customer. Certain of our contracts contain multiple project-based solutions and services promised to a customer over various phases (e.g., scoping, development, manufacturing, testing, launch, and/or satellite operations), which we assess at contract inception to determine which of the solutions and services promised in a contract are distinct in order to identify individual performance obligations.

For contracts containing multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) of each performance obligation. Determining SSP requires significant judgment, particularly where observable standalone sales do not exist. In these cases, SSP is generally estimated using a cost-plus margin approach, which requires us to estimate expected costs and apply an appropriate margin that reflects market conditions, value delivered to the customer, and entity-specific factors.

For certain project-based performance obligations, primarily for our R&D Services, we recognize revenue over time using the percentage-of-completion method, using an input measure, specifically the cost incurred to date over the total expected cost of the contract. This approach requires significant estimates, including total contract costs, labor hours and project timelines.

47

Revisions to these estimates are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis and may materially impact revenue and profitability in the period of change. From time to time, we revise our estimates of total costs for these contracts. For the year ended December 31, 2025, changes in estimated total costs for contracts recognized under the percent-of-completion method resulted in revenue reductions of $1.6 million.

We recognize revenue over time for our data subscription services and the data delivery associated with Space Services contracts. For these services we generally use straight-line, time-based measures such as subscription service periods or operational satellite days delivered. For Space Services involving satellites in varying sizes and different operational commencement dates, the output measure of progress is measured based on satellite days consumed and a weighting factor determined based on the contract value of different satellites.

We have certain contracts which are satisfied at a point in time, primarily for the delivery of discrete quantities of data or upon delivery of a completed study or report. For such contracts, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the related data, study or report.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted and Not Yet Adopted

See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for recently adopted accounting pronouncements and new accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Smaller Reporting Company Status

We are currently permitted to comply with the disclosure obligations applicable to a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. However, based on our fiscal year 2024 revenue and our non-affiliate float as of June 30, 2025, we will no longer be a smaller reporting company and will no longer be permitted to provide scaled disclosure beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
