NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Satellogic Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), the infrastructure company for Persistent Global Intelligence (PGI), today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

“We delivered an excellent third quarter, with record revenue and our second consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA,” said Satellogic Founder and CEO Emiliano Kargieman. “Revenue grew 342% year-over-year to $16.0 million, following $15.9 million in the second quarter, as we continued to execute across both Data & Analytics and Space Systems. For the first nine months of 2026, revenue reached $38.1 million, more than twice what we generated in all of 2025. These results demonstrate the progress we are making in scaling the business and converting commercial activity into revenue.

“We completed the second satellite delivery under our $18 million agreement with Portugal’s CEiiA, demonstrating our ability to deliver working sovereign capabilities on accelerated timelines. Over the past 12 months, we have announced four in-orbit satellite agreements covering seven satellites and expanded our work with defense and intelligence partners, including Innovative Defense Technologies and SynMax. We extended our six-year relationship with HEO through a new three-year Non-Earth Imaging agreement. After quarter-end, we signed a new sovereign satellite agreement to sell three in-orbit satellites for a total contract value of approximately $37 million. This additional agreement now brings the announced value of these sovereign satellite agreements to approximately $67 million over the past year. In Data & Analytics, Aleph Observer is helping us move customers from individual imagery orders toward recurring monitoring programs. This shift moves customers from imagery that answers questions toward Persistent Global Intelligence that powers decisions. Building on these relationships and adding to our backlog remains a priority as we continue to grow the business.

“In October, we also launched two NewSat Mark VI satellites and an additional NewSat Mark V for our sovereign Space Systems program. Our Space Systems program gives allied governments a pathway from commercial access to dedicated, sovereign-controlled capability. The program builds on a body of proof points that includes Portugal’s purchase of a sovereign satellite, our execution of the first commercial in-orbit transfer of a satellite, Tata’s operation of dedicated capacity for India, and HEO’s first-of-its-kind sovereign capability for Australia. The Mark V launch is a direct response to the growing demand we are seeing from governments that want to own their intelligence capability.

“Our new Mark VI satellites are equipped with inter-satellite links, allowing them to communicate directly in orbit and operate as a coordinated system. The system is designed to allow a detection on one satellite to trigger tasking on another without every decision passing through the ground, shortening the time from detection to follow-up imagery. That capability underpins our Slingshot III work with IDT for the Office of Naval Research and will enable our Merlin constellation to cue our Mark VI satellites for high-resolution follow-up once the constellation enters service.

“The October 1 launch of Merlin.01, the first satellite in our Merlin constellation, marked another major milestone, achieved just 18 months after program kickoff, on schedule and on budget. Merlin.01 is now operating in orbit, with payload commissioning underway since mid-October. Merlin.01 supports our First Missions Program, through which we have begun initial engagement with customers on Merlin.01 imagery and change detections. We plan to launch additional Merlin satellites in the first half of 2027, with operational service and initial revenue from Merlin-based services expected to begin in the second half of 2027. Once fully operational, the constellation is designed to remap the planet daily, detect changes on board, and direct our high-resolution satellites to areas requiring closer observation. That is how we intend to expand persistent monitoring beyond the locations customers already know to changes occurring across the globe,” concluded Kargieman.

Dustin Greer, Satellogic Interim CFO, added, “Our financial results reflect strong revenue growth, which is translating into substantial year-over-year improvement in operating performance. Third quarter revenue increased 342% year-over-year to $16.0 million. Operating loss narrowed by $5.8 million, or 72%, to $2.3 million, while Adjusted EBITDA improved to positive $1.2 million from a loss of $4.9 million, marking our second consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA. For the first nine months of 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was nearly breakeven at a $0.2 million loss, compared to a loss of $15.0 million a year ago. Third quarter GAAP net income of $28.3 million included a $30.0 million non-cash gain from changes in the fair value of financial instruments. This gain is not indicative of underlying operating performance.

“We ended September with $106.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $66.9 million in total remaining performance obligations, reflecting contracts in place at September 30. Remaining performance obligations decreased from $80.7 million at June 30, primarily reflecting revenue recognized upon delivery of the second CEiiA satellite. The September 30 balance excludes the new approximately $37 million sovereign satellite agreement signed after quarter-end. Our liquidity position and the Merlin program’s full funding through customer contracts leave us well positioned to execute our production plan for the Merlin and NewSat fleet. We are balancing these growth investments with disciplined spending as we work toward positive free cash flow,” concluded Greer.

Third Quarter 2026 and Subsequent Operational Highlights

• Generated record quarterly revenue of $16.0 million, up 342% year-over-year, including $6.6 million in Data & Analytics revenue and $9.5 million in Space Systems revenue. Operating loss narrowed 72% to $2.3 million, and Adjusted EBITDA was positive $1.2 million, marking the second consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $106.5 million at quarter-end.
• Completed the in-orbit delivery of the second NewSat Mark V satellite under the previously announced $18 million agreement with Portugal’s CEiiA, contributing to third quarter Space Systems revenue. Over the past 12 months, Satellogic has announced four in-orbit satellite agreements covering seven satellites, including the sale of NewSat-34 to HEO, a $12 million satellite transfer to a sovereign defense customer and the new sovereign agreement signed after quarter-end described below.
• Continued expanding Data & Analytics, which generated $6.6 million in third quarter revenue, more than double the prior-year period. Aleph Observer, launched in February 2026 with its first customer signed in April, supports recurring monitoring of hundreds of sites in a customer’s area of interest and will serve as a foundation for broader coverage as Merlin enters service.
• Successfully launched Merlin.01 aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-18 mission on October 1, 2026, 18 months after program kickoff, alongside two NewSat Mark VI satellites equipped with inter-satellite links and one sovereign-program NewSat Mark V. All four spacecraft made contact and returned good subsystem health reports.
• Merlin.01 is operating, with solar arrays deployed and payload commissioning underway since mid-October, supporting the Company’s First Missions Program and initial customer engagement on early Merlin data. Additional Merlin launches are planned for the first half of 2027, with operational service and initial revenue from Merlin-based services expected to begin in the second half of 2027. When fully operational, the constellation is designed to remap the planet daily in one-meter-class imagery, detect change on board, deliver alerts within 30 minutes and cue NewSat Mark VI satellites for 50-centimeter follow-up imagery.
• Expanded work with Innovative Defense Technologies on the U.S. Office of Naval Research’s Slingshot III program. On-orbit activities and tests are planned for 2027 and 2028, with six NewSat Mark VI satellites to be integrated over the 18 months following the September announcement to support autonomous, low-latency maritime domain awareness.
• Signed a three-year Non-Earth Imaging agreement with HEO that runs through 2029 and includes a seven-figure minimum annual commitment in each of its three years. The agreement covers NewSat Mark IV, Mark V and Mark VI satellites, including the newest ISL-equipped spacecraft, and extends a six-year working relationship.
• Announced an agreement for SynMax’s Theia platform to serve as the channel for Merlin-derived maritime intelligence, including vessel tracking, dark-vessel identification, sanctions-evasion monitoring and illegal fishing analysis.
• Supported HEO’s rendezvous and proximity operations campaign, during which Satellogic-built Continuum-1 inspected a derelict rocket body from within 27 kilometers at resolution as sharp as seven centimeters per pixel, demonstrating space domain awareness capabilities without new hardware.
• Subsequent to quarter-end, signed an approximately $37 million agreement covering the in-orbit transfer of a NewSat Mark V and two NewSat Mark VI satellites. The transfers are expected to be complete by mid-2027, subject to standard contractual and regulatory milestones.
• Strengthened leadership with the appointments of Vice Admiral Frank D. “Trey” Whitworth, U.S. Navy (Ret.), former Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, as President; Jamil Kawar, who brings more than two decades of aerospace, defense and space experience, including senior international satellite sales roles at BlackSky and ICEYE, as Senior Vice President, Space Systems; and Dustin Greer as Interim CFO. The search for a permanent CFO continues.
  

Financial Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026

Third quarter revenue increased $12.4 million, or 342%, to a record $16.0 million from $3.6 million in the prior-year period. Data & Analytics revenue, including Constellation-as-a-Service, was $6.6 million compared with $3.2 million, driven by higher contract volumes and task orders. Compared with $7.1 million in the second quarter, the sequential change primarily reflected the lower non-cash revenue recognized under the Company’s Palantir agreement. Space Systems revenue was $9.5 million, including the delivery of the second CEiiA satellite, compared with $0.5 million in the prior-year period.

Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation, was $3.5 million compared with $1.2 million a year ago, reflecting the cost of the sale of a satellite during the period and increased cloud computing and ground station activity. Engineering expense was $3.8 million versus $2.6 million, and selling, general and administrative expense was $9.9 million versus $6.4 million, primarily reflecting investment in personnel and commercial capabilities. Operating loss narrowed 72% to $2.3 million from $8.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA improved to positive $1.2 million from a loss of $4.9 million, marking the second consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA.

Third quarter GAAP net income was $28.3 million compared with $4.0 million in the prior-year period. The 2026 result included a $30.0 million non-cash gain from changes in the fair value of financial instruments, versus $11.9 million a year ago. The gain primarily reflected remeasurement of warrant and earnout liabilities ahead of their first-quarter 2027 expirations and is not indicative of underlying operating performance.

Cash and cash equivalents were $106.5 million as of September 30, 2026, compared with $94.4 million at year-end 2025. Net cash used in operating activities was $10.4 million for the quarter versus $8.4 million a year ago, reflecting working capital timing, including higher receivables. Under GAAP, $4.8 million of proceeds from an in-orbit satellite sale were classified as investing cash flow. Including those proceeds, non-GAAP Adjusted Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was $5.5 million versus $8.4 million. Quarterly capital expenditures totaled $6.2 million, primarily for Merlin and NewSat production, versus $1.3 million.

Total remaining performance obligations were $66.9 million at September 30, 2026, compared with $80.7 million at June 30, 2026, primarily reflecting revenue recognized upon delivery of the second CEiiA satellite. The September 30, 2026 balance reflects contracts in place at quarter-end, including the HEO Non-Earth Imaging agreement, and excludes $1.0 million of variable consideration that was constrained as of September 30, 2026. The September 30 balance excludes the new sovereign satellite agreement described above, which was signed after quarter-end. Of the September 30, 2026 balance, $33.4 million is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year, $8.7 million in the following year, $8.2 million in year three and $16.6 million thereafter. Secured Convertible Note principal remained unchanged at $18.0 million.

For the first nine months of 2026, revenue increased 232% to $38.1 million from $11.5 million, exceeding full-year 2025 revenue of $17.7 million by 115%. Data & Analytics revenue was $18.3 million compared with $10.1 million, while Space Systems revenue reached $19.8 million compared with $1.3 million. Operating loss narrowed to $8.4 million from $23.9 million, and the Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $0.2 million from $15.0 million.

Nine-month GAAP net loss was $110.0 million versus $35.3 million a year ago, primarily reflecting a $102.7 million net non-cash fair value charge related to the Company’s financial instruments, including the effects of share-price appreciation and the conversion of $12.0 million of Secured Convertible Note principal. Net cash used in operating activities was $18.8 million versus $17.4 million. Including $13.2 million of in-orbit satellite sale proceeds reported in investing activities, non-GAAP Adjusted Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was $5.7 million versus $17.4 million, an $11.8 million improvement. Year-to-date capital expenditures totaled $17.4 million versus $4.0 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP measures: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding interest income, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Interest income, net is interest income less interest expense. We did not incur amortization expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

We define Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as Non-GAAP EBITDA further adjusted for other (expense) income, net, changes in the fair value of financial instruments, and stock-based compensation. Other (expense) income, net consists primarily of foreign currency gains and losses.

We define Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow as net cash used in operating activities, less payments for capital expenditures, plus proceeds from the sale of in-orbit satellites.

We define Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Cash Used in Operating Activities as net cash used in operating activities plus proceeds from the sale of in-orbit satellites.

As of January 1, 2026, we updated our methodology to exclude interest income from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. This change aligns our reporting with industry peers and better serves our goal of providing useful information regarding our operating performance by ensuring that non-operating income and losses are excluded from our Non-GAAP profitability measures. The prior period has been recast using the updated methodology.
