______________

1 Total backlog, a key business measure, as well as Adjusted EBITDA and Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of results under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” and the reconciliation tables included in this press release for details regarding the calculation of Total backlog, Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA.

2 The Successor 2020 Period, from February 10, 2020 (Company inception) through December 31, 2020, includes the results of Adcole, DSS, MIS, Roccor and LoadPath from their respective acquisition dates as the entities were acquired during the period.

“Redwire continues to deliver the foundational technologies for the present and future of space infrastructure.”, said Peter Cannito, Chairman and CEO. “Our strong heritage, world-class team of experts, market leading position in In Space 3D Printing Manufacturing and Biotechnology and a broad portfolio of patented space products give us a competitive edge in the market. Our position is bolstered by our Backlog, Revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA as well as significant future organic growth and potential targeted M&A opportunities. Despite the numerous challenges of the global COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 proved to be another important and successful year in our Company’s journey.”

As a purpose-built, innovative provider of space infrastructure and services, Redwire’s product suite is a focal point of the growing space economy. The Company was a key contributor of capabilities on 12 launches in 2021 and has already confirmed participation in 8 planned launches in 2022.

Redwire posted robust triple-digit revenue growth compared with 2020 and demonstrated agility and industry leadership in navigating the current economic environment. Redwire generated over 260% growth in Gross Profit. Increased costs associated with being a public company contributed to an increase in net loss of 328%. Additionally, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA grew by 103%. This was a solid outcome given the various program delays throughout the year.

“In addition to our stellar organic growth, we are thrilled to have acquired Techshot Inc., to further advance Redwire’s unique positioning as the leader in on-orbit manufacturing and space commercialization. Techshot is the forerunner in space biotechnology, including game-changing In-Space 3D bioprinting capabilities, space biomedical research and plant science. With over a dozen payloads having flown, four of which are in current operations on the International Space Station, Techshot mirrors Redwire’s ‘Heritage + Innovation’ approach. Techshot has a history of proven flight heritage, sustainable revenue, and break-out intellectual property to fuel tremendous growth in the future. Combining Techshot’s leading position in commercial space biotechnology with Redwire’s leading position in on-orbit material manufacturing, adds significant scale and synergy to our commercial space offerings. This is a substantial step forward in our vision for people living and working in space and will generate significant value for our shareholders.”

2022 Guidance

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, Redwire expects sales to be in a range of approximately $165 million to $195 million and Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA³ to be in a range of approximately $8 million to $15 million.

Cannito concluded, “The opportunity of what we are building at Redwire is enormous and we are continuing to gain momentum in the marketplace. With launch costs continuing to decline, we anticipate an unprecedented expansion of space infrastructure. The global space industry is projected to generate more than $2 trillion in revenue by 2040, up from $420 billion in 2019. Redwire’s foundational technologies such as power generation, 3D printing, deployable structures, sensors, avionics, advanced payloads, space biotechnology and digital engineering are the building blocks necessary for the future space economy.”

______________

3 Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of results under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. We are unable to provide guidance for net income (loss) or reconciliations to forward looking net income (loss) because we are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including. Thus, we are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of the aforementioned forward looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely comparable forward looking U.S. GAAP financial measure because such information is not available. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” for more information regarding Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA.

Performance Summary for Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2021

• Revenue increased $96.8 million, or 237%, to $137.6 million for 2021 compared to the Successor 2020 Period. This increase was primarily due to newly acquired businesses, which contributed $32.8 million to revenue for 2021. Pro forma revenue⁴, presented as if all business combinations had taken place as of January 1, 2020, was $149.3 million and $127.0 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively.

• Cost of sales increased $75.5 million to $108.2 million for 2021 compared to the Successor 2020 Period. The increase was consistent with growth of the Redwire business. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues for 2021 period was 79%, compared with the 80% for the Successor 2020 Period.

• Gross margin increased $21.3 million to $29.4 million for 2021 compared to the Successor 2020 Period. This increase was primarily due to the newly acquired businesses consolidated into the Company.

• SG&A expense increased $65.6 million to $78.7 million for 2021 compared to the Successor 2020 Period. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue was 57% in 2021, as compared to 32% for the Successor 2020 Period. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of new start-up business ventures in the current year, increased costs associated with developing and supporting these new business ventures as well as costs incurred to take the Company public.

• Interest expense, net increased $5.4 million to $6.5 million for 2021 compared to the Successor 2020 Period. Interest expense, net as a percentage of revenue for 2021 was 5%, as compared to 3% for the Successor 2020 Period. The increase in interest expense, net was related to the new credit facilities entered into with Adams Street Capital.

• Net loss increased $47.2 million to $61.5 million for 2021 compared to the Successor 2020 Period. The increase in Net loss was driven by expenses associated with taking the Company public and, to a lesser extent, costs associated with developing and supporting the new business.

• Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.8 million to $1.3 million and Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.6 million to $3.2 million for 2021 compared to the Successor 2020 Period.

______________

4 Pro forma revenue is presented for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the Successor 2020 Period, giving effect to the acquisitions completed in 2021 and 2020 and is calculated in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Adjusted EBITDA and Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of results under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. See the table included in this press release for details regarding pro forma revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2021, our available liquidity totaled $25.5 million, which was comprised of $20.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $5.0 million in available borrowings from our existing credit facilities. In addition, on March 25, 2022, Redwire increased available borrowings under its revolving credit facility to an aggregate of $25.0 million. The Company believes its existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs.

As part of the Company’s debt management strategy, management continuously evaluates opportunities to further strengthen the Company’s financial position including the issuance of additional equity or debt securities, refinance or otherwise restructure the existing credit facilities, or enter into new financing arrangements, and Redwire plans to raise additional capital through one or more of these funding activities.

Company Completes Review of Previously Filed Financial Statements

The previously disclosed results of the Audit Committee investigation into potential accounting issues at a business subunit, which has concluded without identifying any material misstatements or the need for any restatements of the Company’s previously filed financial statements, confirmed the existence of previously identified internal control deficiencies as well as identified certain additional internal control deficiencies. Consequently, the Company expects to report an additional material weakness with respect to its control environment in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. Specifically, certain members of senior management failed to reinforce the need for compliance with certain of the Company’s accounting and finance policies and procedures, including reinforcement of appropriate communication. The material weakness will not have an impact on the reported consolidated financial statements. As previously disclosed, the Company self-reported this matter to the SEC on November 8, 2021 and intends to continue to cooperate with any requests from the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial measures include Total backlog, Adjusted EBITDA, and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA.

We use certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources which are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are considered to be Non-GAAP financial performance measures. These Non-GAAP financial performance measures are used to supplement the financial information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are two such Non-GAAP financial measures that we use. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted for interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, acquisition deal costs, acquisition integration costs, acquisition earnout costs, purchase accounting fair value adjustment related to deferred revenue, capital market and advisory fees, write-off of long-lived assets, equity-based compensation and warrant liability change in fair value adjustment.

REDWIRE CORPORATION
TOTAL BACKLOG
(Unaudited)

We view growth in backlog as a key measure of our business growth. Contracted backlog represents the estimated dollar value of firm funded executed contracts for which work has not been performed (also known as the remaining performance obligations on a contract). Our contracted backlog includes $10.7 million and $4.3 million in remaining contract value from time and materials contracts as of December 31, 2021 and as of December 31, 2020, respectively.

Organic contracted backlog change excludes backlog activity from acquisitions for the first four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition date. Contracted backlog activity for the first four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition date is included in acquisition-related contracted backlog change. After the completion of four fiscal quarters, acquired entities are treated as organic for current and comparable historical periods.

Organic contract value includes the remaining contract value as of January 1 not yet recognized as revenue and additional orders awarded during the period for those entities treated as organic. Acquisition-related contract value includes remaining contract value as of the acquisition date not yet recognized as revenue and additional orders awarded during the period for entities not treated as organic. Similarly, organic revenue includes revenue earned during the period presented for those entities treated as organic, while acquisition-related revenue includes the same for all other entities, excluding any pre-acquisition revenue earned during the period.

Our total backlog as of December 31, 2021, which includes both contracted and uncontracted backlog, was $271.6 million. Uncontracted backlog represents the anticipated contract value, or portion thereof, of goods and services to be delivered under existing contracts which have not been appropriated or otherwise authorized. Our uncontracted backlog as of December 31, 2021 was $136.8 million. Uncontracted backlog includes $67.8 million of contract extensions under negotiation that are priced, fully scoped, verbally awarded, and expected to be executed shortly.
