SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS) (“Momentus” or the "Company”), a U.S. commercial space company that offers transportation and other in-space infrastructure services, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

John Rood, Momentus Chief Executive Officer, said, “Momentus took great strides in 2022 and so far in 2023 toward our goal of being one of the market leaders in in-space transportation and infrastructure services. We are one of a select number of companies that have launched orbital service vehicles into space to serve this market. We have made significant progress on our technology development, conducting the first launch of our Vigoride Orbital Service Vehicle in May 2022 and our second Vigoride launch in January 2023, which is a mission that remains underway. We deployed our first eight customer satellites in orbit. We have recruited a highly experienced group of leaders for our engineering, technology, program management, manufacturing, and supply chain organizations that we believe gives us a competitive edge over our peer group.”

Rood went on to say, “We see multiple opportunities for growth. We recently signed new and repeat commercial customers and are seeing increased interest in our services. We have begun to focus on growing our government business and are delighted that NASA contracted with us to fly two satellites on our next launch targeted for April 2023 on an important mission to study spacecraft interactions with the upper atmosphere. Finally, we’re excited about the significant interest we are seeing from U.S. Defense Department organizations in our capabilities and expect to be very competitive in winning contracts in this area.”

The space economy continues to experience significant growth. The number of small satellites launched continues to grow to historic highs and new regulations put in place by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requiring the de-orbit of satellites in Low Earth Orbit has combined to create a very favorable demand outlook for the services we provide.

Momentus is eager to play a key role in the vibrant and growing space economy and we look forward to showing more progress in 2023.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Business Highlights:

  • Applied lessons learned from the company’s inaugural mission with Vigoride 3 to the next generation Vigoride 5 Orbital Service Vehicle (OSV).
  • Completed thermal vacuum testing of Vigoride 5, concluding its rigorous environmental testing campaign.
  • Integrated all customer satellites onto Vigoride 5, shipped Vigoride 5 to launch site, and completed all on-base preparation for launch including integration onto the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle.
  • On January 3, 2023, subsequent to the close of the fourth quarter, Momentus launched Vigoride 5 to space onboard the SpaceX Transporter-6 mission from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
  • Established communications with Vigoride 5 on its first orbital pass, deployed solar arrays, generated power nominally, commissioned the vehicle’s attitude determination system, and pressurized its propulsion system in anticipation of firing the Microwave Electrothermal Thruster.
  • Signed transportation contracts with new customer CONTEC, new customer Australian Research Council Training Centre for CubeSats, Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles, and their Applications (CUAVA), repeat customer FOSSA Systems, and another repeat customer that wishes to remain anonymous.
  • Subsequent to the close of the fourth quarter, completed assembly, customer integration and ground-testing of Vigoride 6, the next spacecraft that the company plans to launch on the Transporter-7 mission, which SpaceX is targeting for April 2023. Completed the Vigoride 6 Flight Readiness Review and shipped the vehicle to its launch site at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California where it has been integrated onto a SpaceX launch vehicle.
  • Continued to implement the previously-announced cash-reduction plan and took steps to further extend Momentus’ cash runway.
  • Subsequent to the close of the quarter, reached agreement in principle to settle certain securities class action lawsuits. Under the settlement, Momentus would pay $8.5 million to the plaintiffs, at least $4 million of which is expected to be funded by insurance proceeds.
  • Subsequent to the close of the quarter, issued $10 million in stock and warrants to an institutional investor through a registered direct offering. The infusion of capital combined with the retirement of legacy challenges from the period before Momentus became a public company in August 2021, enables the Company to focus on future growth.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions.

Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of Momentus’ control. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: the ability of the Company to obtain licenses and government approvals for its missions, which are essential to its operations; the ability of the Company to effectively market and sell satellite transport services and planned in-orbit services; the ability of the Company to protect its intellectual property and trade secrets; the development of markets for satellite transport and in-orbit services; the ability of the Company to develop, test and validate its technology, including its water plasma propulsion technology; delays or impediments that the Company may face in the development, manufacture and deployment of next generation satellite transport systems; the ability of the Company to convert backlog or inbound inquiries into revenue; changes in applicable laws or regulations and extensive and evolving government regulations that impact operations and business, including export control license requirements; the ability to attract or maintain a qualified workforce with the required security clearances and requisite skills; product service or product or launch failures or delays that could lead customers to use competitors’ services; investigations, claims, disputes, enforcement actions, litigation and/or other regulatory or legal proceedings; the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business; the Company’s ability to comply with the terms of its National Security Agreement and any related compliance measures instituted by the director who was approved by the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies (the “Security Director”); the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and/or other risks and uncertainties. These are only some of the factors that may affect the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. For a discussion identifying additional important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see the company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission including, but not limited to, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

-

Prior year revenue recognized related to the cancellation of customer contracts, resulting in the forfeiture of customer deposits

2

 

-

The reduction of cost of revenue represents the reversal of a contingency recorded during the prior year for loss contracts related to free slots on future missions. During the prior year ended December 31, 2021, the Company signed amendments or terminations with those customers such that the services will no longer be free of charge. The reversed contingency was offset by costs incurred related to one of the cancelled contracts.

3

-

Other expenses during the year ended December 31, 2021 were due to the transaction costs allocated to the liability-classified warrant assumed in connection with the Business Combination.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. None of the reclassifications have changed the total assets, liabilities, shareholders’ deficit, income, expenses or net losses previously reported.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)

This press release references certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expense and non-GAAP research and development expense. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and certain other items the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating performance. The Company defines non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses and research and development expenses as those respective GAAP amounts, excluding stock-based compensation and non-recurring items not indicative of core operating performance None of these non-GAAP financial measures is a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company that is helpful in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational-decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Full year adjusted EBITDA

A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is set forth below:
