LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) (“Rocket Lab” or “the Company”), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today shared the financial results for fiscal second quarter 2023, ended June 30, 2023.

Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Peter Beck, said: “The second quarter saw strong performance across Rocket Lab’s launch and space systems businesses with three successful Electron launches, more than 17 spacecraft featuring Rocket Lab satellite components deployed to orbit, and multiple new launch contracts signed with new and returning customers. We were able to deploy two successful missions from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand for NASA, then follow it up days later with a successful first launch of our new HASTE suborbital hypersonic testbed rocket from Launch Complex 2 in Virginia, which is testament to the experienced team and infrastructure we’ve put in place to enable rapid, reliable and repeatable launch. Over the same period, our team delivered near record numbers of satellite components to commercial and government customers and is successfully operating the first of four Rocket Lab-designed and built spacecraft on orbit to enable in-space pharmaceutical manufacturing. We also achieved some major development milestones for Neutron in the second quarter, including completion of the second stage qualification tank. Earthworks are also underway for Neutron’s launch pad, with construction scheduled to commence in the third quarter, marking an exciting new era in Neutron’s path to first launch next year.”

Second Quarter 2023 Business Highlights:

  • Delivered strong financial results that were above the midpoint of prior guidance for revenue, and well above the high end of prior guidance for gross margin.
  • Launched three successful Electron missions in the second quarter, including the TROPICS constellation for NASA and the first HASTE mission, a suborbital testbed launch vehicle derived from the Company’s Electron rocket to provide reliable, high-cadence flight test opportunities to support the development of advanced hypersonic systems technology.
  • Acquired assets and production space from the Virgin Orbit bankruptcy auction at favorable pricing, enabling significant savings and schedule acceleration for Neutron production.
  • Significant milestones met in development of Neutron rocket and launch site, including completion of second stage tank and cryogenic tank test stand. Earthworks underway for launch site construction to commence in Q3.
  • Strong quarter for space systems with Rocket Lab satellite components or software featured in 17 spacecraft launched to orbit.
  • First of four advanced spacecraft designed, manufactured, and now operating in orbit for Varda Space enabling in-space pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Business Highlights Since June 30, 2023:

  • Successfully launched a rideshare mission from Launch Complex 1 featuring satellites for NASA, Spire Global, and Spaceflight Laboratory.
  • Completed a successful splashdown and recovery of Electron’s first stage, furthering the Company’s rocket reusability program ahead of the first reflight of an engine later this year. The mission successfully demonstrated new waterproofing technologies on the rocket, as well as an advanced system for retrieving the rocket from the ocean.
  • Continued strong growth in Electron bookings with 10 new launches signed since Q1 financial results, including block buys from return commercial constellation customers Synspective and BlackSky, two dedicated missions for a government customer, and a new HASTE hypersonic test launch contract from Launch Complex 2.

Third Quarter 2023 Guidance

For the third quarter of 2023, Rocket Lab expects:

  • Revenue between $73 million and $77 million.
  • Launch Services revenue of approximately $30 million.
  • Space Systems revenue of between $43 million to $47 million.
  • GAAP Gross Margins between 21% to 23%.
  • Non-GAAP Gross Margins between 28% to 30%.
  • GAAP Operating Expenses between $51 million to $53 million.
  • Non-GAAP Operating Expenses between $38 million to $40 million.
  • Expected Interest Expense (Income), net $0.5 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss of $10 million to $14 million.
  • Basic Shares Outstanding of 484 million.

See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for an explanation of our use of Non-GAAP financial measures, and the reconciliation of historical Non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures in the tables attached to this press release. We have not provided a reconciliation for the forward-looking Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Expenses or Adjusted EBITDA expectations for Q3 2023 described above because, without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount and timing of adjustments that are used to calculate these non-GAAP financial measures, particularly related to stock-based compensation and its related tax effects. Stock-based compensation is currently expected to range from $13 million to $14 million in Q3 2023.

Conference Call Information

Rocket Lab will host a conference call for investors at 1:30 p.m. PT (4:30 p.m. ET) today to discuss these business highlights and financial results for our first quarter, to provide our outlook for the second quarter, and other updates.

The live webcast and a replay of the webcast will be available on Rocket Lab’s Investor Relations website: https://investors.rocketlabusa.com/events-and-presentations/events

+ FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release may contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this press release, including statements regarding our expectations of financial results for the third quarter of 2023, strategy, future operations, future financial position, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “aim,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “suggest,” “strategy,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions or phrases, or the negative of those expressions or phrases, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on Rocket Lab’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond Rocket Lab’s control), or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this release, including risks related to delays and disruptions in expansion efforts; our dependence on a limited number of customers; the harsh and unpredictable environment of space in which our products operate which could adversely affect our launch vehicle and spacecraft; increased congestion from the proliferation of low Earth orbit constellations which could materially increase the risk of potential collision with space debris or another spacecraft and limit or impair our launch flexibility and/or access to our own orbital slots; increased competition in our industry due in part to rapid technological development and decreasing costs; technological change in our industry which we may not be able to keep up with or which may render our services uncompetitive; average selling price trends; general economic uncertainty and turbulence which could impact our customers’ ability to pay what we are owed; failure of our launch vehicles, spacecraft and components to operate as intended either due to our error in design in production or through no fault of our own; launch schedule disruptions; supply chain disruptions, product delays or failures; design and engineering flaws; launch failures; natural disasters and epidemics or pandemics; any inability to effectively integrate recently acquired assets; changes in governmental regulations including with respect to trade and export restrictions, or in the status of our regulatory approvals or applications; or other events that force us to cancel or reschedule launches, including customer contractual rescheduling and termination rights; risks that acquisitions may not be completed on the anticipated time frame or at all or do not achieve the anticipated benefits and results; and the other risks detailed from time to time in Rocket Lab’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including under the heading “Risk Factors” in Rocket Lab’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on March 7, 2023, and elsewhere. There can be no assurance that the future developments affecting Rocket Lab will be those that we have anticipated. Except as required by law, Rocket Lab is not undertaking any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Notes to Editor: All dollar amounts in this press release are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

+ USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP financial information presented excludes certain significant items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into the company's ongoing business performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial information to the corresponding GAAP measures for the historical periods disclosed are included at the end of the tables in this press release. We have not provided a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because, without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount and timing of adjustments that are used to calculate these non-GAAP financial measures, particularly related to stock-based compensation and its related tax effects. The following definitions are provided:

+ ADJUSTED EDITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Such items are excluded from net income or loss to determine Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes this measure provides investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations.

+ OTHER NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP gross profit, research and development, net, selling, general and administrative, operating expenses, operating loss and total other income (expense), net, further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Such items are excluded from the applicable GAAP financial measure. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations.
