About this update from Satellogic Inc.

Revenue Increased 259% Year-over-Year to $15.9 Million as Company Achieved First Quarter of Positive Operating Income and Positive Adjusted EBITDA Ended Second Quarter with $112.8 Million in Cash and $80.7 Million in Remaining Performance Obligations Executed on Sovereign Satellite Deliveries, Expanded Persistent Global Intelligence and Earth Observation Monitoring Partnerships, and Advanced International Defense Programs Management to Host Webcast and Conference Call August 5, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. ET NEW YORK, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Satellogic Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), the infrastructure company for Persistent Global Intelligence (PGI), today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. "The second quarter delivered a decisive demonstration of the operating leverage in our vertically-integrated PGI infrastructure model," said CEO Emiliano Kargieman. "Strong operational execution drove a 259% year-over-year increase in our revenue, delivering $15.9 million in the quarter. Additionally, we generated positive operating income and positive Adjusted EBITDA. This is the inflection point we have been building toward — a business capable of converting commercial momentum into profitability. "We have already successfully delivered the first satellite to Portugal's CEiiA program, representing the halfway point in the $18 million two-satellite program.  We also continued to advance the infrastructure behind PGI. During the quarter we announced strategic collaborations with SynMax and SpaceKnow to develop AI-powered geospatial intelligence products on our platform, and we expanded our international defense engagements, including an additional one-year agreement valued at more than $18 million with an international defense customer, as well as a $12 million agreement to deliver an in-orbit satellite to a sovereign defense customer.  Our Merlin constellation — the fully-funded, AI-first detection layer that will take our work with Aleph Observer from known-site monitoring to whole-world continuous awareness — remains on track for a first launch in the fourth quarter of 2026 and full operational capability in the first half of 2027. We have a capital-efficient constellation built for rapid replenishment, one of the largest high-resolution constellations in the world, a repeatable commercial engine, and the technology and IP leadership needed to achieve true global persistent monitoring. Satellogic is positioned to deliver the sovereign-trusted decision advantage that defense, intelligence, government, and commercial customers demand," concluded Kargieman. Rick Dunn, Satellogic CFO, added, "Our second quarter results mark a milestone in the financial evolution of the Company. Revenue grew 259% year-over-year to $15.9 million; operating income was positive $0.3 million, an improvement of $6.6 million from an operating loss of $6.3 million in the prior-year period. Net loss for the quarter was $20.0 million and included a $19.7 million non-cash charge relating to the change in fair value of financial instruments, driven primarily by the appreciation of our stock price during the quarter and the corresponding remeasurement of our Secured Convertible Notes, warrants and earnout liabilities. This fair value charge is non-cash and is not indicative of our underlying operating performance. On a Non-GAAP basis, adjusted EBITDA was positive $2.8 million, a $6.7 million improvement from a $3.9 million loss a year ago and the first quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA in our history. These results reflect the combination of top-line growth and the cost discipline we have maintained as we scale our business. "We continue to strengthen our capital structure: during the quarter the noteholder converted $12.0 million of principal into 10.0 million shares of Class A common stock, reducing outstanding Secured Convertible Note principal to $18.0 million from $30.0 million at year-end 2025. We ended the quarter with $112.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and remaining performance obligations of $80.7 million, providing both the capital and the contracted visibility to execute our strategy, including the continued build-out of the Merlin constellation," concluded Dunn. Second Quarter 2026 and Subsequent Operational Highlights Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $11.5 million, or 259%, to $15.9 million, compared to $4.4 million in the prior-year period. Growth was driven primarily by a $3.2 million increase in imagery ordered by new and existing Data & Analytics customers and a $8.3 million increase in Space Systems revenue. The Data & Analytics line of business, including Constellation-as-a-Service (CaaS), generated $7.1 million of revenue versus $4.0 million in the prior-year period, while the Space Systems line of business generated $8.8 million of revenue versus $0.5 million in the prior-year period. Cost of Revenue, exclusive of depreciation, increased $1.6 million, or 137%, to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.2 million in the prior-year period. The increase was driven primarily by higher Space Systems costs associated with product revenue growth. Engineering expenses increased $0.7 million, or 32%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.3 million in the prior-year period. The increase was driven primarily by higher salaries, wages and other benefits and stock-based compensation resulting from workforce increases in 2026. Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased $3.3 million, or 61%, to $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $5.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was driven primarily by higher salaries and headcount, increased stock-based compensation, and higher travel and related expenses reflecting increased selling activity. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $0.3 million, an improvement of $6.6 million compared to an operating loss of $6.3 million in the prior-year period, and the first quarter of positive operating income in the Company's history, reflecting the operating leverage of the Company's vertically integrated model. Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $20.0 million, compared to a net loss of $6.7 million in the prior-year period. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by a $19.7 million non-cash charge in the change in fair value of financial instruments, reflecting the remeasurement of the Company's Secured Convertible Notes, warrants, and earnout liabilities. The remeasurement was primarily  a result of the increase in the Company's Class A common stock trading price and partial convertible note conversions during the quarter, partially offset by fair value appreciation of the Company's equity investment in Officina Stellare, and is not indicative of underlying operating performance. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA improved by $6.7 million to positive $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.9 million in the prior-year period, representing the first quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA in the Company's history and reflecting increased revenue and continued operating discipline. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $112.8 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $94.4 million as of December 31, 2025. Net cash used in operating activities was $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $4.3 million in the prior-year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $8.5 million, a $0.6 million improvement from $9.1 million in the prior-year period. In accordance with US GAAP, $8.3 million in proceeds from the sale of an in-orbit satellite were classified within investing activities on the GAAP Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. On a Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Cash Flow basis—which includes these satellite sale proceeds—Adjusted Operating Cash Flow was $(0.3) million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $(4.3) million in the prior-year period. For the first six months of 2026, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow was $(0.1) million, compared to $(9.1) million in the prior-year period. Remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2026 totaled $80.7 million, with $45.8 million expected to be recognized as revenue within one year, $9.3 million in years one to two, $7.2 million in years two to three, and $18.4 million thereafter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted Operating Cash Flow. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss excluding interest income, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Interest income, net is interest income less interest expense. We did not incur amortization expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. We define Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as Non-GAAP EBITDA further adjusted for other (expense) income, net, changes in the fair value of financial instruments, and stock-based compensation. Other (expense) income, net consists primarily of foreign currency gains and losses. We define Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow as net cash used in operating activities, less payments for capital expenditures, plus proceeds from the sale of in-orbit satellites. We define Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Cash Flow as net cash used in operating activities plus proceeds from the sale of in-orbit satellites. As of January 1, 2026, we updated our methodology to exclude interest income from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. This change aligns our reporting with industry peers and better serves our goal of providing useful information regarding our operating performance by ensuring that non-operating income and losses are excluded from our Non-GAAP profitability measures. The prior period has been recast using the updated methodology.
