Analytics Provider Spire Global’s Preliminary First Half Results

data analytics

Spire Global, Inc. (“Spire Global”, “Spire”, or “the Company”) a leading global provider of space-based data, analytics and space services, today announced its preliminary financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and provided updated guidance for the year ending December 31, 2021. On July 26, 2021, Spire also announced that the registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-256112) of NavSight Holdings, Inc. (“NavSight”), relating to the previously announced merger of NavSight and Spire (the “Business Combination”) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as of July 22, 2021, and that the special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to approve the Business Combination would be held on August 13, 2021 at 10:00 AM ET.

“We believe that the need for space-based Earth data to solve the greatest challenges facing businesses, governments and humanity is growing every day. We feel privileged to partner with some of the leading organizations and agencies around the world to execute on their missions, solve problems and address these issues,” said Peter Platzer, Chief Executive Officer of Spire. “We are encouraged by our customer and pipeline growth as well as other market and industry activity, particularly due to our strengthened market position once we become a public company.”

Fiscal Second Quarter Highlights:

  • Achieved Significant Increase in the Number of New ARR Solution Customers — Across Spire’s four solutions (Maritime, Aviation, Weather & Space Services), Spire added 33 net new ARR solution customers during the second fiscal quarter of 2021, ending the period with just over 200 ARR solution customers. This represented an ARR solution customer growth of 73% versus the prior year period.
  • Enhanced Capabilities, with the Launch of Eight New Satellites — Through launching Spire’s newest proprietary technology into orbit on-board eight new satellites, Spire increased the number of aviation tracking satellites, added space sensors for soil moisture and hurricane wind speeds, introduced optical intersatellite links, and deployed supercomputing in-orbit with artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities.
  • Further Expanded Space Services – In addition to the geographical expansion of Space Services into the Middle East and Asia with new customer wins, Spire successfully initiated and expanded significant research missions and space services solutions for government customers, including the European Space Agency and the UK Space Agency.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Preliminary Results:

  • Revenue was in the range of $18.6 million and $19.0 million, an increase of between 33% and 35% from the six months ended June 30, 2020. Revenue growth for the six months ended June 30, 2020 included a one-time historical data purchase of $2.3 million that did not recur in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
  • Gross profit was in the range of $11.2 million and $12.0 million, an increase of between 30% and 39% from the six months ended June 30, 2020.
  • Net loss was in the range of $47.5 million and $46.6 million, an increase of between 223% and 217% from the six months ended June 30, 2020. As the Company prepares to go public and is executing on closing the Business Combination announced on March 1, 2021, there are significant one-time and recurring expenses negatively impacting the financials. Impact on six months ended June 30, 2021 operating loss was approximately $4.0 million. In addition, net loss was impacted by approximately $5.3 million associated with one-time charges from the settlement of certain debt obligations.
  • EBITDA was in the range of negative $37.7million and negative $36.8 million, an increase of between 315% and 306% from the six months ended June 30, 2020.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was in the range of negative $16.2 million and negative $15.3 million, an increase of between 110% and 99% from the six months ended June 30, 2020.
  • ARR was approximately $36.6 million as of June 30, 2021, an increase of 37% from ARR as of June 30, 2020.
  • There were approximately 202 ARR Solution Customers under contract as of June 30, 2021, an increase of 73% from the number of ARR Solution Customers under contract as of June 30, 2020.

(1) Represents loss on satellite deorbit and launch failure. Absent the recognized loss, there would have been depreciation that would have also been excluded as part of the EBITDA calculation.

(2) Other income, net consists primarily of tax credits, grant income, the impact of foreign exchange gains and losses and sales and local taxes.

(3) Represents non-cash expenses related to our incentive compensation program.

(4) Includes merger and acquisition-related costs associated with the Business Combination.

(5) Includes other IPO market assessment expenses and Eastward Capital and European Investment Bank debt settlement charges.

The selected, estimated preliminary financial results set forth are unaudited and should be considered preliminary and subject to change. Spire has provided an estimate for the selected, preliminary results described above as Spire’s final results remain subject to the completion of its closing procedures, final adjustments, developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results are finalized, and management’s and the audit committee’s final reviews. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on this preliminary data, which may differ materially from the final results. These preliminary results should not be viewed as a substitute for Spire’s full financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, they are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved in any future period. These preliminary results have been prepared by and are the responsibility of management. This preliminary financial data included in this announcement has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, Spire’s management. Neither Spire’s independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent registered public accounting firm has audited, reviewed, compiled, or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the preliminary financial data. Accordingly, neither Spire’s independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent registered public accounting firm has expressed an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. Spire plans to report its full results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 pursuant to an 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission following the closing of the Business Combination.

Financial Outlook:

In light of Spire’s preliminary financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2021, Spire is updating its guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 provided in the analyst day presentation made on June 4, 2021 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Spire is lowering its anticipated revenue primarily due to certain project-based revenue contracts experiencing delays related to customers or third-party launch providers, along with delays in the anticipated closing of several large new customer contracts. Spire expects that this lower expected revenue will also increase its net loss, and decrease its EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

Spire is providing guidance for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 as follows (numbers excludes any potential inorganic activity):

  • Revenue of between $40.0 million and $42.0 million, an increase of between 40% and 47% from the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, updated from the previously disclosed projected revenue of $54 million.
  • Non-GAAP gross profit of between $24.5 million and $27.1 million, an increase of between 35% and 49% from the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, updated from the previously disclosed projected gross profit of $35 million.
  • Non-GAAP operating loss of between $48.5 million and $44.4 million, an increase of between 86% and 71% from the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, updated from the previously disclosed projected operating loss of $31 million.
  • EBITDA of between negative $63.8 million and negative $59.8 million, an increase of between 195% and 177% from the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, updated from the previously disclosed projected EBITDA of negative $25 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of between negative $37.8 million and negative $33.8 million, an increase of between 114% and 92% from the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, updated from the previously disclosed projected Adjusted EBITDA of negative $19 million.
  • ARR of between $48.4 million and $52.0 million as of December 31, 2021, an increase of between 34% and 44% from ARR as of December 31, 2020, updated from the previously disclosed projected ARR of $70 million.
  • ARR Solution Customers under contract of between 240 and 252 at December 31, 2021, an increase of between 56% and 64% from ARR Solution Customers under contract as of December 31, 2020, updated from the previously disclosed projected range of ARR Solution Customers of 258 to 286.
  • The guidance does not include any forecasted impact due to foreign exchange fluctuations.

Spire’s actual results could be significantly impacted by any merger or acquisition related activity, new customer wins, customer renewals and customer non-renewals, contract increases from existing customers, contract decreases from existing customers, the timing of revenue recognition as well as unexpected IPO or public company expenses. The Company’s ending ARR as of December 31, 2021 may have an impact on the previously projected outlook for fiscal 2022.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of expenses that may be incurred in the future, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to Spire’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Spire is unable to determine the impact on its projected results for fiscal years 2022 through 2025 at this time; however, Spire does not believe that project-based revenue contracts experiencing delays relates to customers or third-party launch providers, and delays in the anticipated closing of several large new customer contracts will have a material impact on Spire’s longer-term projected results. Despite these delays, Spire has seen its overall pipeline continue to grow consistently each quarter versus the previous quarter end.
