Management to Host Conference Call Today at 4:30 p.m. ET

Satellogic Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), a leader in sub-meter resolution Earth Observation (“EO”) data collection, today provided a business update.

“In the first half of 2022, Satellogic took the most significant steps in our history towards realising our mission, beginning to fully commercialize low Earth Observation,” said Satellogic CEO, Emiliano Kargieman. “We began the year with the milestone achievement of a successful public listing of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq. Today, we are currently operating 26 satellites in orbit, the largest commercial fleet of sub-meter resolution satellites in the world with the largest daily data collection capacity.

“Our customers are using our imagery and derived data every day to monitor points of interest around the world. Our Asset Monitoring revenue has grown at a 35% CAGR year-to-date through October. Our Constellation-as-a-Service (CaaS) business has recently gained momentum with a three-year agreement awarded from the Republic of Albania to access a dedicated satellite constellation.

“We have also established a new business line, Space Systems (satellite sales), that will allow us to sell our satellites directly to select customers where satellite ownership is important. Our fast build-to-launch cycles allow us to go from a signed contract to a satellite delivered in orbit in less than 8 months, a first in this industry.

“Along with continued financial and operational momentum, we expect to continue to build and launch satellites at a fast pace towards our vision of remapping the Earth. With 26 satellites now in orbit, we expect to launch up to 21 satellites in 2023 to give us the capability of remapping the Earth every two weeks by the end of 2023.

“Looking ahead we are highly focused on driving revenue growth. Considering the opportunities that we have already closed and a strong sales pipeline, including government and Defense and Intelligence customers, we believe the business fundamentals remain strong as we work towards achieving our long-term growth objectives. We expect our vertically integrated approach will continue to unlock commercial opportunities in the market. We look forward to reporting additional developments in the months to come as we strive to create long-term sustainable growth and shareholder value.

“In summary, we have the largest high resolution capture capability in orbit, the best data quality among our peers, and the lowest cost. These three pillars are designed to support our penetration of the existing Earth Observation data market and drive its expansion,” concluded Kargieman.

Rick Dunn, Satellogic CFO, commented, “We went public in late January, which allowed us to begin our life as a public company debt free and with cash proceeds totaling $168 million and we ended the first half with $124 million of cash on hand. As we wrap up 2022 and prepare for 2023, we have seen increased momentum in terms of revenue, backlog and pipeline. We expect 2023 to be much stronger considering some of the opportunities that we have already closed, coupled with the quality of opportunities reflected in our pipeline that we’re aggressively working to close. As such, our 2023 revenue is expected to be in the range of $30 - $50 million. Our 1H 2022 revenue was $2.4 million and our full year 2022 revenue is expected to be in the range of $6 - $8 million.

“Going forward, revenue will be driven by our continued growth within our existing lines of business, Asset Monitoring and Constellation-as-a-Service, together with our Space Systems line of business. We anticipate that Space Systems will contribute considerable per unit cash flow and strong gross margin. Space Systems gross margin is expected to be higher than Asset Monitoring or Constellation-as-a-Service considering our low manufacturing costs. We expect to end the year with $78 - $82 million of cash, no debt and a 2023 business plan funded by operations and existing cash on hand. Our revised business plan is designed to reach Adjusted EBITDA breakeven in 2024,” concluded Dunn.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Financial Information

Historically our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Beginning with our consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which we expect to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) prior to fiscal year end, we decided to prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

In addition, we monitor a number of financial performance and liquidity measures on a regular basis in order to track the progress of our business, including certain non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as net income excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as Non-GAAP EBITDA as further adjusted for merger-related transaction costs, other financial income (which consists of foreign currency exchange gains and losses), changes in the fair value of embedded derivative instruments and share- based compensation. We define Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less payments for capital expenditures. 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, interest taxation, depreciation, capital expenditures and other non-cash items (change in fair value of financial instruments, debt extinguishment and share-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. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure. When presented, we reconcile our historical non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures. We do not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis because we are unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include acquisition-related costs, litigation charges or settlements, impairment charges, and certain other unusual adjustments.
