Q3 2022 Highlights
-
Revenue increased
, or$4.6 million 14.0% , to for the three months ended$37.2 million September 30, 2022 , from for the three months ended$32.7 million September 30, 2021 . -
Redwire also delivered better financial performance for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , as compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2022 . Revenues grew by1.4% , gross margin as a percentage of revenues improved by2.3% , net loss decreased by86.5% and Adjusted EBITDA1 improved by63.7% period over period. -
Redwire enabled successful execution of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (“DART”) mission with critical navigation components and Roll-Out Solar Array (“ROSA”) technology. -
Redwire was recently selected for multiple "land and expand" opportunities that are expected to increase growth momentum for power systems and structures, LEO commercialization, avionics and digital engineering. These new opportunities resulted in a sequential increase in our Total Backlog2 to as of$304.0 million September 30, 2022 , as compared to as of$251.7 million June 30, 2022 . -
During the fourth quarter of 2022, we completed a capital raise for approximately
through the sale of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which was led by investments from$80.0 million Bain Capital andAE Industrial Partners (“AEI”). Proceeds from the sale of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were used to fund the€32.0 million acquisition ofQinetiQ Space NV (“Space NV”), which closed onOctober 31, 2022 , and the Company intends to use the remaining proceeds to support Redwire’s growth initiatives. -
Redwire expects to achieve improved results during the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter, driven by increased revenue and changes in contract mix with higher gross margin. However, a slower contract ramp up has pushed revenue execution into subsequent quarters. Therefore, for the fiscal year endedDecember 31, 2022 ,Redwire is updating its previously provided guidance and now expects revenues to be in a range of approximately to$140.0 million and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA1 to be approximately$155.0 million to$(13.0) million . This guidance does not include contributions anticipated from$(6.0) million Space NV .

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 Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow.
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA 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. We use Free Cash Flow as a useful indicator of liquidity to evaluate our period-over-period operating cash generation that will be used to service our debt, and can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities and/or acquisitions, among other uses. Free Cash Flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance, and it should not be inferred that the entire amount of Free Cash Flow is available for discretionary expenditures, since we have mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from this measure. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company revised the definition and calculation of Free Cash Flow that was presented in the second quarter of 2022 in accordance with the SEC’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation. Going forward, the Company will use the definition and calculation of Free Cash Flow presented herein.
These Non-GAAP financial measures are used to supplement the financial information presented on a
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense (income), net, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, acquisition deal costs, acquisition integration costs, acquisition earnout costs, purchase accounting fair value adjustment related to deferred revenue, severance costs, capital market and advisory fees, litigation-related expenses, write-off of long-lived assets, equity-based compensation, committed equity facility transaction costs, debt financing costs, and warrant liability fair value adjustments. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted for the incremental Adjusted EBITDA that acquired businesses would have contributed for the periods presented if such acquisitions had occurred on

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
(Unaudited)
Book-to-Bill
Book-to-bill is the ratio of total contract awarded to revenues recorded in the same period. The contracts awarded balance includes firm contract orders including time and material contracts which were awarded during the period and does not include unexercised contract options or potential orders under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts. Although the contracts awarded balance reflects firm contract orders, terminations, amendments, or contract cancellations may occur which could result in a reduction to the contracts awarded balance.
We view book-to-bill as an indicator of future revenue growth potential. To drive future revenue growth, our goal is for the level of contract awarded in a given period to exceed the revenue recorded, thus yielding a book-to-bill ratio greater than 1.0.
Our book-to-bill ratio was as follows for the periods presented:

Backlog
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
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.
