Headquartered in Munich, Germany, with additional offices in Los Angeles, California, and Washington, D.C., Mynaric's key revenue is derived from the United States. Recently, Mynaric has secured several high-profile contracts. On November 29, 2023, the company signed a definitive agreement for an additional order valued at approximately $30 million from an undisclosed US-based customer. This contract involves the delivery of the CONDOR Mk3 optical communication terminals starting in mid-2024.
Further, on December 13, 2023, Mynaric entered into an agreement with Northrop Grumman for the delivery of optical communication terminals under the U.S. Government's Space Development Agency Tranche 2 Transport Layer-Alpha space vehicles program. This contract is valued at around $33 million, with product deliveries scheduled to begin in 2024 and continue until 2026.
Mynaric also reported strong performance indicators for the year ending December 31, 2023, with a substantial backlog in optical communications terminals primarily for government-funded satellite constellations. This backlog, resulting from robust order momentum in late 2023, will significantly impact revenue and cash flow visibility from early 2024 to 2026.
Moreover, on January 16, 2024, Mynaric was selected as a key development partner for Phase 2 of DARPA's Space-based adaptive communications node (Space-BACN) program, which aims to create scalable and reconfigurable optical communications terminals for various satellite constellations. This follows Mynaric's involvement in Phase 0 in December 2021 and Phase 1 in August 2022.
Mynaric has also announced an amendment to its existing US$75 million loan agreement, increasing the borrowing capacity by US$20 million, providing additional liquidity to support the company's working capital requirements and other corporate purposes.
As of March 30, 2024, Mynaric shipped the first flight model CONDOR Mk3 optical head, marking the start of serial production for these terminals. This milestone aligns with the company's mission to deliver mass-deployable free space optical communications systems at scale.
In the latest development, as of May 7, 2024, Mynaric has been selected by Rocket Lab USA, Inc. to supply free space optical terminals for the SDA's Tranche 2 Transport Layer (T2TL) - Beta program. This $15 million order will see deliveries commencing in 2025.
