Current report
Other income (expenses) showed a change to net other income of approximately $258,000 in 2026 compared to net other expense of approximately $342,000 in 2025, primarily due to the elimination of asset-based loan expense following the payoff of the asset-based loan in January 2026 and increased interest income from cash holdings.
Current report
Current assets decreased by approximately $17.3 million to approximately $33.4 million as of March 31, 2026 from approximately $50.7 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to the use of cash to repay the asset-based loan and fund operations.
Current report
Current liabilities decreased significantly to approximately $4.1 million as of March 31, 2026 from approximately $15.0 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to the repayment of the asset-based loan in January 2026 and the repayment of related party advances.
Current report
Satellite Impairment
Current report
Management performs its impairment assessment using an undiscounted cash flow model, which incorporates projected revenue from the Company’s satellite operations, as the related fixed assets are directly tied to these activities. Key assumptions in the model include the expected initial data harvesting date, the probability of establishing and maintaining communications, the number of daily satellite passes over ground stations, average usable contact time per pass, data downlink speed, the proportion of data sold, and the pricing of such data. These assumptions are based on historical satellite performance, current market pricing, and management’s expectations for future operations. Given the inherent uncertainty in forecasting, these assumptions are highly sensitive, and relatively small changes could result in different conclusions. Any impairment charge identified is recognized in the period determined and may have a significant impact on net income and stockholders’ equity.

Our goal is to enable customers to meet their mission objectives with cost-effective solutions and to help them understand how space-based data can be impactful to day-to-day business. Our strategy includes increasing the demand downstream by starting out as end user focused. While others are focused on a data verticalization strategy specializing in key sectors or a problem set, we believe that flexibility in production, low-cost, standardized design and offering ‘Space Access Reimagined’ for consumers will provide a scalable model for growth. In just over twelve months, we successfully launched and began operations with three LizzieSat® multi-mission satellites for a multi-mission constellation. Designed to be modular, flexible, and cost-effective, our proven LizzieSat® platform enables rapid mission configuration and scalability across a wide range of satellite sizes, efficiently addressing unique mission requirements. Built with several proprietary Sidus designs for reusable core components, our smart vertical integration provides greater control over the supply chain, ensuring seamless integration of all components—whether developed in-house or sourced externally. This integrated approach offers a distinct advantage over competitors who rely on purchasing and integrating hardware, software, and subsystems from multiple vendors.

Furthermore, since our inception, we have recognized the value of our employees and have always prioritized employee well-being through facets such as excellent benefits, programs, educational assistance, and insurance of a safe and healthy work environment. We also understand that our efforts to promote value and well-being are not limited to our employees. We are committed to the communities we belong to both locally and professionally. We recently started to formalize this commitment, providing tangible benefits back to the community that supports us.

To provide investors with additional information in connection with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA. We use adjusted EBITDA in order to evaluate our operating performance and make strategic decisions regarding future direction of the company since it provides a meaningful comparison to our peers using similar measures. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (as determined by U.S. GAAP) adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition deal costs, severance costs, capital market and advisory fees, equity-based compensation and warrant costs. These non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures made by other companies since not all companies will use the same measures. Therefore, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis.

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

Previous wording
Revenues from fixed price contracts primarily related to the satellite side of the business that require milestone payments are recognized at the time of the milestone being met. This method is used because management considers that the payments are nonrefundable unless the Company fails to perform as promised. If the customer terminates the contract, we are entitled to retain any progress payments received from the customer and we have no further rights to compensation from the customer. Even though the payments made by the customer are nonrefundable, the cumulative amount of those payments is not expected, at all times throughout the contract, to at least correspond to the amount that would be necessary to compensate us for performance completed to date. Accordingly, we account for the progress under the contract as a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time.

The Company accounts for the majority of its fixed price or time and materials contracts as performance obligations satisfied over times, due to the Company’s enforceable right to collect based on services provided through any applicable date of termination. Amounts recognized as revenue over time due to this, but in which the Company does not yet have the right to invoice for due to contractual arrangements are reflected as contract assets until such time as they are invoiced, and the Company has the right to receive payment.
