NEW YORK, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Satellogic Inc. (NASDAQ: SATL), a vertically integrated geospatial intelligence platform delivering high-resolution Earth Observation (EO) at unprecedented scale and economics, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"Q1 2026 marked a clear operational inflection point for Satellogic," said CEO Emiliano Kargieman. "Commercially, we continued to build momentum across our sovereign defense and intelligence customer base with revenue growing at 80% year-over-year. We also signed a $12 million agreement to deliver a fully commissioned, in-orbit NewSat satellite from our operational Aleph-1 constellation to a sovereign defense customer. This is the second sovereign in-orbit contract we have closed in the past two quarters and we believe this model is uniquely matched to the speed, capability, and unit-economics demands of modern sovereign defense procurement. With one of the largest high resolution constellations in the world, we have the ability to do this without impacting our ability to meet existing demand and expected future growth in our Data & Analytics business.

“We further deepened our engagement with the U.S. defense and intelligence community through the expansion of Phases II and III of the Slingshot Program with the U.S. Office of Naval Research and IDT, and the appointment of Vice Admiral Frank D. Whitworth III, U.S. Navy (Ret.), the eighth Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, as a Strategic Advisor to the Company. Meanwhile, Asia and Asia Pacific revenue grew more than 700% year-over-year to $3.0 million.

"Operationally, we introduced our Merlin constellation, a fully funded, AI-first, defense-oriented satellite system designed to remap the entire planet daily at 1-meter resolution, with a first launch on track for the fourth quarter of 2026 and initial constellation deployment expected to be completed in the first half of 2027. This new constellation is fully funded by customer contracts and does not require incremental capital to reach those milestones. As a result, we believe the launch of Merlin will allow customers to no longer have to choose between global coverage and high-resolution; they will be able to get both.

"We also launched Aleph Observer, a new product that allows customers to subscribe to persistent monitoring of portfolios of strategic sites, with reliable revisit cadence, image delivery within hours, and analytics layered on top , enabling us to convert one-time imagery purchases into multi-year subscription engagements. As the quarter drew to a close, we successfully launched NewSat 53 and NewSat 54 on a SpaceX mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base, further expanding our in-orbit capacity and flight heritage.

"Q1 marked an important moment in Satellogic’s evolution in which the Company transitioned from a business defined by future potential to one capable of scaling its vertically integrated, high-margin platform. With expanding margins, a differentiated, protected technology base, a repeatable commercial engine, and a clear, fully funded path to sustained profitability and free cash flow generation, we believe Satellogic is increasingly positioned to capture the demand we see across government and commercial markets," concluded Kargieman.

Rick Dunn, Satellogic CFO, added, "Our first quarter financial results reflect the commercial momentum and financial discipline we built exiting 2025, and they mark several important inflection points in our business. Revenue grew 80% year-over-year to $6.1 million on increased imagery demand from new and existing Data & Analytics customers; Operating loss improved 33%, from $9.5 million to $6.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA loss improved 32%, from $6.2 million to $4.2 million; and — most significantly — we generated $0.2 million of net cash from operating activities, the first quarter of positive operating cash flow in our history and a $4.9 million swing from the $4.7 million used in the prior-year period. This is meaningful validation that the operating leverage of our vertically integrated model is now visible in the financials. Net loss for the quarter was $118.3 million and included a $113.0 million non-cash expense relating to the change in fair value of financial instruments driven by our increasing stock price during the quarter and the corresponding remeasurement of our Secured Convertible Notes, warrants and earnout liabilities. Cash on hand is $121.9 million and provides us with the capital required for operational execution of our strategy.

"As of March 31, 2026, our remaining performance obligations totaled $64.8 million, with $29.2 million expected to be recognized within one year. Combined with our $12 million contract announced on April 30, 2026 — we are off to a strong start to 2026.

"We ended the quarter with $121.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, bolstered by the $35 million registered direct offering we completed in January 2026. Combined with the operational inflections we delivered in the quarter, this is the strongest balance sheet in our history and supports both our Merlin development timeline and the growth investments we expect to drive the business in 2026 and beyond," concluded Dunn.

First Quarter 2026 and Subsequent Operational Highlights

• In April, we signed a $12 million agreement with a sovereign defense customer for the full transfer of ownership of a commissioned, in-orbit NewSat satellite from the Company's operational Aleph-1 constellation. Satellogic will provide comprehensive support to help the customer develop independent command, processing and data utilization capabilities. The transfer process is expected to be completed in early 2027, subject to contractual and regulatory milestones, representing the second sovereign in-orbit transaction the Company has closed in two quarters.
• Signed an $18 million agreement with CEiiA, the Centre of Engineering and Product Development in Portugal, for the supply and in-orbit delivery of two NewSat Mark V 50cm-class satellites, with ownership and operational control expected to transfer to CEiiA in the second and third quarters of 2026.
• Extended existing agreement with the Government of Albania to continue country-wide, high-frequency satellite monitoring using the Company's NewSat constellation.
• Secured a seven-figure monitoring agreement with a strategic customer, providing daily revisit and high-resolution coverage over a large portfolio of priority sites.
• Expanded partnership with IDT Corporation and the U.S. Office of Naval Research for Phases II and III of the Slingshot Program, advancing on-orbit demonstration of Satellogic's rapid tasking and high-resolution capabilities in support of U.S. Navy mission requirements.
• Appointed Vice Admiral Frank D. Whitworth III, U.S. Navy (Ret.), the eighth Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), as Strategic Advisor to the Company, further strengthening Satellogic's engagement with the U.S. defense and intelligence community.
• Introduced the Merlin constellation, the Company's AI-first satellite system designed to remap the entire planet daily at 1-meter resolution. Merlin combines 10 spectral bands aligned with Sentinel-2, AI-first onboard processing, and inter-satellite links to enable real-time alerting. The first Merlin satellite is targeted to launch in October 2026, with full operational capability expected in the first half of 2027. Merlin is fully funded by customer contracts and does not require incremental capital to reach those milestones.
• Launched Aleph Observer, a persistent geospatial intelligence platform designed for sustained awareness at scale, enabling continuous monitoring of hundreds of sites daily with predictable delivery over time and supporting the conversion of one-time imagery purchases into multi-year subscription engagements.
• Successfully launched NewSat 53 and NewSat 54 on March 30, 2026, with SpaceX from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, expanding the operational constellation and our in-orbit flight heritage.
• Closed a $35 million registered direct offering, at an offering price of $4.73 per share, strengthening the balance sheet and extending operating runway.

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026

• Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased by $2.7 million, or 80%, to $6.1 million, compared to $3.4 million in the prior-year period. Growth was driven primarily by a $1.6 million increase in imagery ordered by new and existing Data & Analytics customers and a $1.1 million increase in Space Systems revenue. The Data & Analytics line of business, including Constellation-as-a-Service (CaaS), generated $4.6 million of revenue versus $3.0 million in the prior-year period, while the Space Systems line of business generated $1.5 million of revenue versus $0.4 million in the prior-year period.
• Cost of Revenue, exclusive of depreciation, increased $0.2 million, or 17%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.2 million in the prior-year period. The increase was driven primarily by higher ground station costs.
• Engineering expenses increased $0.6 million, or 24%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase was driven primarily by higher software expenses, professional fees, and employee compensation, including stock-based compensation.
• Selling, General and Administrative expenses were flat at $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $6.5 million in the prior-year period.
• Operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $6.4 million, an improvement of $3.2 million, or 33%, compared to an operating loss of $9.5 million in the prior-year period, reflecting the operating leverage of the Company's vertically integrated model.
• Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $118.3 million, compared to a net loss of $32.6 million in the prior-year period. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by a $113.0 million non-cash charge in the change in fair value of financial instruments, reflecting the remeasurement of the Company's Secured Convertible Notes, warrants, and earnout liabilities. The remeasurement was principally a function of the increase in the Company's Class A common stock trading price during the quarter and is not indicative of underlying operating performance.
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss improved by $2.0 million, or 32%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss of $6.2 million in the prior-year period, reflecting increased revenue and continued operating discipline.
• Cash and cash equivalents totaled $121.9 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $94.4 million as of December 31, 2025.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $4.7 million in the prior-year period, an improvement of $4.9 million and the first quarter of positive operating cash flow in the Company's history.
• Remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2026, totaled $64.8 million, with $29.2 million expected to be recognized as revenue within one year, $7.9 million in years one to two, $7.5 million in years two to three, and $20.2 million thereafter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our Consolidated Financial Statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP measures: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. 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 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 months ended March 31, 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 income, net consists primarily of foreign currency gains and losses.

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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations

The following table presents a reconciliation of Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to our net loss for the periods indicated.
