Financial Results for the Year Ended
- Revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2024 , increased by$2.8 million , or 28%, to$12.9 million , as compared to revenue of$10.1 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2023 . The increase was driven primarily by a$5 million increase in imagery ordered by new and existing Asset Monitoring customers, partially offset by a$2.2 million decrease in revenue generated from the Space Systems business line. Revenue for the year endedDecember 31, 2024 included$9.5 million attributable to our Asset Monitoring line of business,$1.8 million attributable to our Space Systems line of business, and$1.6 million attributable to our CaaS line of business compared to$4.5 million ,$3.9 million and$1.6 million , respectively, in the prior year. - Cost of Sales, excluding depreciation expense, for the year ended
December 31, 2024 , remained flat at$5.0 million , as compared to$5.1 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2023 . However, as a percentage of revenue, our cost of sales were 39% for the year endedDecember 31, 2024 , as compared to 50% for the year endedDecember 31, 2023 . - Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2024 , decreased by$2.0 million , or 6%, to$33.0 million , as compared to$35.0 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2023 . This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in salaries, wages, stock-based compensation and other benefits as a result of the Company’s workforce reductions in 2024 and other expense reductions resulting from continued cash control measures during 2024. Additionally, the decrease was driven by lower expense for estimated credit losses on accounts receivable and lower insurance costs due to rate improvements on certain policies. These decreases were partially offset by a$4.0 million increase in professional fees consisting mainly of the accrued, nonrecurring advisory fee pursuant to the subscription agreement entered into with Liberty in connection with going public in 2022 and professional fees related to the secured convertible notes. - Engineering expenses for the year ended
June 30, 2024 , decreased$7.8 million , or 35%, to$14.4 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2024 from$22.2 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2023 . The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in salaries, wages, and other benefits and stock-based compensation as a result of the Company’s workforce reductions in 2024 and other expense reductions resulting from continued cash control measures during 2024, in addition to fees resulting from the termination of our high-throughput plant lease inthe Netherlands . - Net loss for the year ended
December 31, 2024 , increased by$55.2 million to$116.3 million , as compared to a net loss of$61.0 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2023 . The increase was primarily driven by an increase in the change in fair value of financial instruments ($60.0 million ) and other expenses ($3.2 million ) offset by increases in revenue and decreases in operating costs. - Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss for the year ended
December 31, 2024 , improved by$10.4 million to$33.7 million , from an Adjusted EBITDA loss of$44.1 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2023 , primarily due to year-over-year increases in revenue and decreases in operating expenses. - Cash was
$22.5 million atDecember 31, 2024 , compared to$23.5 million atDecember 31, 2023 . - Net cash used in operating activities was
$35.9 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2024 , compared to$49.6 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2023 . This decline in net cash used by operations was primarily due to workforce reduction and overall cost control initiatives.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We monitor a number of financial performance and liquidity measures on a regular basis in order to track the progress of our business. Included in these financial performance and liquidity measures are the non-GAAP measures, Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA. We believe these measures provide analysts, investors and management with helpful information regarding the underlying operating performance of our business, as they remove the impact of items that we believe are not reflective of our underlying operating performance. The non-GAAP measures are used by us to evaluate our core operating performance and liquidity on a comparable basis and to make strategic decisions. The non-GAAP measures also facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations such as capital structures, taxation, capital expenditures and non-cash items (i.e., depreciation, embedded derivatives, debt extinguishment and stock-based compensation) which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. However, different companies may define these terms differently and accordingly comparisons might not be accurate. Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure. For the definitions of Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss, see below.
We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We did not incur amortization expense during the years ended
We define Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as Non-GAAP EBITDA further adjusted for professional fees related to the secured convertible notes, other income (expense), net, changes in the fair value of financial instruments and stock-based compensation. Other income, net consists mainly of differences related to foreign exchange gains and losses as well as gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to its net loss for the periods indicated.
