SIDUS SPACE, INC. REPORTS Q1 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Sidus Space Satellite Related Revenue for Q1 2023 Increases Over 100% from Q1 2022

 

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., May 15, 2023—(BUSINESS WIRE)— Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIDU), a Space and Defense-as-a-Service satellite company focused on commercial satellite design, manufacture, launch, and data collection, today announced financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2023 and provided a business update. Sidus will webcast a conference call to discuss the results on May 15, 2023 at 9:00 am Eastern Time. Participants can join the webcast by visiting this link or visiting the IR calendar on the Investors Relations site at https://investors.sidusspace.com. A replay of the call will be available on the site for three months.

 

“We are excited about the future of our company,” said Teresa Burchfield, Chief Financial Officer of Sidus Space. “Several successful initiatives position us well for long-term success. The capital raised recently allows us to secure multiple launches that rapidly expand our satellite constellation which is expected to drive revenue growth. We also purchased long lead time flight hardware that we believe will accelerate our satellite production rate to meet mission demands.”

 

“We have laid a strong foundation for the rest of the year, and remain on track to launch LizzieSatTM, our hybrid 3D printed satellite, later this year. While the precise timeline is dependent on the small satellite launch industry, we have completed critical milestones including successful integrated testing of our onboard command and control system which drives the satellite on-orbit. Our confidence in our ability to execute our vision is based on over a decade of commercial, defense and government manufacturing experience combined with a proven track record of success, space qualification experience, existing customers and pipeline, and heritage hardware. With over 10 years of manufacturing experience and capabilities we are uniquely positioned to go beyond LEO and to support missions to MEO, GEO, the Moon, Mars and beyond. We continue to advance active discussions with numerous prospective customers, including U.S. and international government agencies, for payload hosting and data related to our planned satellite launches over the next 24 months. “ said Carol Craig, Founder and CEO of Sidus Space.

 

Financial Highlights for the quarter Ending March 31, 2023

 

  ● Revenue increased to $2,263,627 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1,799,335 for the same period in 2022. Revenue growth of 26% is primarily attributable to more than doubling satellite revenue, as this segment of the business begins to mature.
  ● Gross profit was $895,799, or 40%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, impacted by contract mix, increased materials purchases, and continued supply chain impacts.
  ● Total Operating Expenses increased to $3,542,169 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 from $3,242,783 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 primarily as a result of increased headcount as we scale our business.

Capital Structure

 

  ● As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $2.8 million in cash. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company executed a common stock and warrant offering in which the Company sold an aggregate of approximately 8.6 million shares of Class A common Stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 21.7 million shares of Class A Common Stock along with warrants to purchase up to approximately 30.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, the Company sold approximately 3.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock and approximately 3.8 million accompanying warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to a partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $11.2 million.
  ● The Company intends to use the net proceeds to execute its strategic plan which includes continued satellite production at an accelerated pace and fulfillment of a steady launch cadence.

 

Operational Highlights

 

We continue to take meaningful steps toward the launch of our LizzieSatTM constellation and we have accomplished additional key milestones and developments as we drive our mission of delivering Space and Defense-as-a-Service to both government and commercial customers worldwide. In the first quarter of 2023, we formed several new partnerships and announced new contract awards.

 

We implemented further steps toward the execution of the launch of our constellation:

 

  ● Sidus Space and its partner, KSAT successfully tested the integrated command and control systems between Sidus Mission Control Center (MCC), Florida, KSAT Earth Stations around the world, and LizzieSatTM’s onboard radios and command and control systems.
  ● Sidus successfully tested the onboard Artificial Intelligence (AI) computing capability it intends to fly on every satellite to ensure every piece of data being downlinked from LizzieSatTM is high value and ready for immediate consumption by customers.
  ● The Company executed an updated agreement with SpaceX that nearly doubled contracted launches with the launch provider, providing four additional Transporter missions in 2024 and 2025 to establish a regular launch cadence for Sidus and its customers.

The Company executed several satellite-related contracts:

 

  ● The Company was awarded a follow-on contract for the next phase of NASA’s Autonomous Satellite Technology for Resilient Applications (ASTRA) project.
     
  ● As part of an effort to expand its reach into the international market, Sidus Space was awarded a $2.5 million agreement with The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) to deploy and test TNO’s laser communications technology aboard a Sidus LizzieSat™ satellite. The Company also announced plans to increase its presence in Europe by opening a new office in the Netherlands.

 

We formed multiple key partnerships since the beginning of 2023:

 

  ● In order to accelerate the expansion of Sidus’ commercial data distribution strategy and broadening of its customer base, the Company signed an agreement with SkyWatch for use of its TerraStream data-management platform
  ● The Company announced additional technology for integration into its satellite constellation including: an agreement with SatLab to implement its second-generation automated identification system (AIS) technology into the Company’s LizzieSat™ satellite constellation to power advanced solutions for the maritime industry and an MOU with SkyServe to integrate and deploy its edge computing software to provide on-orbit testing and establish integration processes for future missions as the companies plan to collaboratively develop services to support various customer segments.
  ● In May, the Company signed an MOU with Lulav Space, an Israeli robotics company specializing in space applications, to cooperate in the US market by providing a complete guidance navigation and control (GN&C) solution for both lunar satellite and lunar lander missions.

 

The Company also continues to build key relationships with customers in its mission-critical hardware manufacturing business including selection for the manufacturing of 13 Propulsion Plant Team Trainer Maneuvering Area Panels for Bechtel Plant Machinery, Inc. (BPMI).

 

Another important highlight is Sidus’ Mentor/Protégé relationship with L3 Harris. Sidus announced it was selected as a Protégé with L3Harris Technologies for the Department of Defense Mentor-Protege Program, which helps businesses expand their footprint in the defense contracting space by partnering with larger companies. Designed to grow protege firms, program success is measured by the increase in dollar value of contract and subcontract awards, and revenue to protégé firms and an increase in the employment levels of protégé firms.
