Insights

Market Research Analyst

Intuitive Machines' successful lunar landing and the subsequent financial results are a strong indicator of the company's growth trajectory and potential for future revenue streams. The company's ability to secure fully funded contracts for CLPS and OMES III, as well as the Artemis campaign contracts, demonstrates a robust pipeline of government and commercial projects. The validation of their proprietary propulsion system and the earnings from mission completion milestone payments further solidify their technical capabilities and their reputation as a reliable partner for space exploration endeavors. The substantial backlog of $268.6 million is a testament to the company's ability to attract and retain high-value contracts, which is a positive signal for investors looking for stability and growth. The positive gross margin and disciplined cost management are indicative of a maturing business that is transitioning from a developmental phase to a more operational stance. The increased cash balance, bolstered by warrant exercises, provides the company with a solid financial footing to pursue its strategic objectives. This combination of technical success and financial prudence is likely to resonate well with the market, potentially leading to an increased investor confidence and a positive impact on the company's stock performance.

Financial Analyst

The financial results of Intuitive Machines highlight several key factors that investors should consider. Firstly, the year-over-year decrease in revenue from $85.9 million to $79.5 million, coupled with an increase in operating loss from $(5.5) million to $(56.2) million, may raise concerns about the company's profitability and cost management. However, the operating loss includes a one-time NASA change order, which is not indicative of the company's ongoing operational efficiency. The ending cash balance of $54.6 million, following a significant increase due to warrant exercises, provides the company with liquidity to support operations and invest in growth opportunities. The company's backlog nearly doubling in Q4 is a strong indicator of future revenue, which could lead to improved financial performance in the upcoming quarters. It is also important to note that the company operates in a highly specialized and capital-intensive industry, where large fluctuations in financial metrics can be expected due to the timing of contract milestones and the nature of project-based work.

Aerospace Industry Analyst

Intuitive Machines' achievements in space exploration, particularly the historic lunar landing, have significant implications for the aerospace industry. The company's advancements have the potential to lower the cost of lunar exploration and open up new possibilities for scientific research and commercial exploitation of space resources. The successful validation of their liquid methane and liquid oxygen propulsion system could lead to more cost-effective and efficient space travel, which is a key factor in the long-term sustainability of space missions. The company's focus on diversifying its business across defense, energy, civil and international channels indicates a strategic move to mitigate the risks associated with the cyclical nature of space contracts. This diversification strategy, along with the company's demonstrated technical prowess, could position Intuitive Machines as a leader in the burgeoning space economy, which is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years.

• Delivered NASA and commercial payloads to the moon further south than any vehicle in history, marking the United States’ first lunar landing in over 50 years, on February 22, 2024
• Supported by the FY 2024 NASA budget passed on March 8, 2024, Intuitive Machines contracts for CLPS and OMES III, as well as key future Artemis campaign contracts NSNS and LTVS were fully funded
• Validated the performance of the Company’s proprietary liquid methane and liquid oxygen propulsion system through the first-ever deep space ignition, resulting in a 7-day mission from launch to the lunar surface in Q1
• Earned mission completion milestone payments from NASA and commercial customers of approximately $12.5 million following more than 144 hours of lunar surface operations
• Concluded 2023 with $268.6 million in backlog which nearly doubled in Q4 driven by the OMES III task orders, an International Space Agency lunar payload, and the Department of Defense, Air Force Research Laboratory JETSON award
• Achieved positive gross margin driven by OMES III revenue in December and continued focus on cost discipline
• Entered March 1, 2024 with a cash balance of $54.6 million, the largest balance relative to any quarter-end since the Company’s IPO, driven primarily by warrant exercises from an institutional investor

HOUSTON, March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intuitive Machines, Inc. (Nasdaq: LUNR, “Intuitive Machines,” or the “Company”), a leading space exploration, infrastructure, and services company, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus said, “Exactly one year after going public, Intuitive Machines launched its IM-1 mission, and one week later, on February 22, 2024, we successfully landed, marking the United States’ first lunar landing in over 50 years. The successful landing, recognized by the White House, NASA, and our commercial customers, fundamentally disrupted the economics of landing on the Moon while substantially retiring the costs of developing a lunar program.”

Mr. Altemus continued, “Looking ahead, our flight-proven technology positions us well for key upcoming Artemis campaign awards. We will leverage our mission success and program execution capabilities across Defense, Energy, Civil, and International revenue channels as we continue to diversify the business.”

Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and constitute “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by the SEC. This includes adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management team uses to assess the Company’s operating performance and is calculated as net income (loss) excluding results from non-operating sources including interest income, interest expense, gain on extinguishing of debt, share based compensation, change in fair value instruments, depreciation, and provision for income taxes. Intuitive Machines has included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in the Company’s operating results and because it is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical measure, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Other companies, including companies in Intuitive Machines’ industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included below under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”

We define free cash flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations that, after purchases of property and equipment, can be used for strategic initiatives, including continuous investment in our business and strengthening our balance sheet. Free Cash Flow has limitations as a liquidity measure, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:Free Cash Flow is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP; Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences among methods of calculation; and Free Cash Flow may be affected in the near to medium term by the timing of capital investments, fluctuations in our growth and the effect of such fluctuations on working capital and changes in our cash conversion cycle. A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included below under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”

The Company has also included contracted backlog, which is defined as the total estimate of the revenue the Company expects to realize in the future as a result of performing work on awarded contracts, less the amount of revenue the Company has previously recognized. Intuitive Machines monitors its backlog because we believe it is a forward-looking indicator of potential sales which can be helpful to investors in evaluating the performance of its business and identifying trends over time.

Free Cash Flow

We define free cash flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations that, after purchases of property and equipment, can be used for strategic initiatives, including continuous investment in our business and strengthening our balance sheet.

Free Cash Flow has limitations as a liquidity measure, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• Free Cash Flow is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
• Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences among methods of calculation.
• Free Cash Flow may be affected in the near to medium term by the timing of capital investments, fluctuations in our growth and the effect of such fluctuations on working capital and changes in our cash conversion cycle.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash used in operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, to free cash flow:

Backlog

The following table presents our backlog as of the periods indicated:

(in thousands)		December 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Backlog		$	268,566		$	201,946

Backlog increased by $66.7 million as of December 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, primarily due to new awards of $184.4 million primarily attributable to the OMES III project for $142.4 million, an international payload on a future mission for $17.6 million, the JETSON contract for $9.5 million, and various other projects. These increases are partially offset by continued performance on existing contracts of $79.5 million and decreases related to contract value adjustments of $38.2 million primarily related to certain time and materials and other contracts.
