Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of the Business
On January 25, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Satellogic Inc. (“Satellogic” or the “Company”), a BVI business company incorporated in the BVI as a company limited by shares, consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 5, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, CF Acquisition Corp. V, a Delaware corporation (“CF V” and now known as “Satellogic V Inc.”), Ganymede Merger Sub 1 Inc., a BVI business company incorporated in the BVI as a company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Ganymede Merger Sub 2 Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Nettar.
Nettar was, prior to the transaction, the holding company of the Satellogic group and was incorporated on October 7, 2014, under the laws of the BVI as a company limited by shares. The registered office of Satellogic is located at Kingston Chambers BOX 173 C/O Maples Corporate Services BVI LTD Road Town, Tortola D8 VG1110.
References to “Nettar” contained herein refer to Nettar Group Inc. prior to the mergers, and references to “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or “Satellogic” refer to Satellogic Inc. prior to the mergers and to the combined company following the mergers.
Through our subsidiaries, we invest in the software, hardware, and optics of the aerospace industry focusing on satellite and image analytics technologies. Our strategy is to build a planetary scale analytics platform based on a proprietary satellite constellation with the capability to generate insights from images and information, with focus on multi-temporal analysis and high frequency of revisits. We also intend to leverage our ability to quickly build and launch high quality, sub-meter satellites at a low cost by selling satellites to certain key customers.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years then ended (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company conducts business throughone operating segment.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees, have been eliminated in consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in United States dollars (hereinafter “U.S. dollars” or “$”).
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Reported amounts in 2023 for general and administrative expenses, research and development and other operating expenses were reclassified to selling, general and administrative expenses, and engineering. Additionally, the reported amount for finance income (expense), net was reclassified to interest income, net.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “Jobs Act”). The Jobs Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The Jobs Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised that has different application dates for public or private companies, we can adopt the new or revised standard at the time required for private companies to adopt such standard. The foregoing may make comparison of our financial statements with those of another public company difficult or impossible if such other public company is (i) not an emerging growth company or (ii) is an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period, due to the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Going Concern and Liquidity
We have evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months through March 2026. Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and have an accumulated deficit of $400.1 million as of December 31, 2024, with net cash used in operating activities of $35.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, our existing sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $22.5 million. We believe that this current level of cash and cash equivalents is not sufficient to fund operations and capital expenditures to reach larger scale revenue generation from our product offerings.
In order for us to proceed and reach larger scale revenue generation, we will need to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional equity, debt or both. Until such time that we can generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our operations through equity or debt financings, which may not be available to us on the timing needed or on terms that we deem to be favorable. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders may be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financial resources, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the needed financing on acceptable terms or at all. In an effort to alleviate these conditions, we continue to seek and evaluate opportunities to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or debt securities.
On April 12, 2024, the Company, Borrower, and Holder Representative entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Borrower agreed to issue the Secured Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million to the Purchaser. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Secured Convertible Notes, after deducting transaction fees and other debt issuance costs, was approximately $27.6 million. The Secured Convertible Notes initially bear interest at a rate of SOFR plus 6.50% per annum, subject to an additional 4.0% per annum if certain events of default occur and are continuing. The Secured Convertible Notes are guaranteed by the Company and each of the Company’s material subsidiaries (other than the Borrower), and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets (including all of its intellectual property). The Borrower may issue additional Secured Convertible Notes under the terms thereof, provided the aggregate principal outstanding amount does not exceed $50 million. The Secured Convertible Notes mature on April 12, 2028.
On December 8, 2024, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company issued in a private placement an aggregate of 3,571,429 Class A common stock to the Purchaser at a purchase price of $2.80 per share. The closing of the private placement occurred on December 10, 2024 and the Company received gross proceeds of $10,000,000. The net proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes.
Although we have been able to secure debt financing of approximately $27.6 million during the second quarter of 2024 (refer to Note 17 (Secured Convertible Notes)) and approximately $10.0 million from the Share Purchase Agreement in December 2024, we do not believe this incremental funding will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months through March 2026. As a result of these uncertainties, and notwithstanding our plans and efforts to date, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of when these audited Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when needed, or upon acceptable terms, such failure would have a significant negative impact on our financial condition. As such, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying audited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation one year after the date these audited Consolidated Financial Statements are issued, and we will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. If we cannot continue as a going concern, adjustments to the carrying values and classification of our assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses could be required and could be material. We are continuing to take actions to secure sufficient financing (as described above) and thus believe that the application of the going concern assumption for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is appropriate.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition; determination of useful lives of property and equipment; valuation of Secured Convertible Notes, warrant liabilities, earnout liabilities, stock options; and determination of income tax. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Topic 606 Revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for goods or services provided under such contracts. We apply the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) we satisfy each performance obligation.
Our main revenue stream is from services. We recognize as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when or as the performance obligation is satisfied, either over time or a point in time. Revenue is recognized upon delivery for asset monitoring contracts in which performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time upon image delivery. The Company has determined that it provides a series of distinct services in which the customer simultaneously receives and consumes data, so therefore the Company recognizes revenue ratably over the subscription period. For Space Systems contracts, revenue is typically recognized at a point in time, upon delivery of equipment.
The nature of our contracts does not currently give rise to variable consideration related to returns or refunds as those are not offered.
We evaluate contracts with a minimum purchase commitment to determine whether we expect to be entitled to a breakage amount. We consider the requirements on constraining estimates variable consideration. The following factors are evaluated when assessing the increased likelihood of a significant revenue reversal: (i) the amount of consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside our influence or control (e.g., volatility in a market, judgment of action of third parties, weather conditions), (ii) uncertainty about the amount of consideration is not expected to be resolved for a long period of time, (iii) our experience with similar types of contracts is limited, or that experience has limited predictive value, (iv) we have a practice of either offering a broad range of price concessions or changing the payment terms and conditions of similar contracts in similar circumstances, and (v) the contract has a large number and broad range of possible consideration amounts.
We exclude amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes, when determining transaction price.
Contract liabilities consist of payments received from customers, or such consideration that is contractually due, in advance of providing the product or performing services.
We generally do not enter into long-term financing arrangements or payment plans with customers. Although our business practice is not to enter into contracts with non-cash consideration, at times this may occur. In these instances, we determine the fair value of the non-cash consideration at contract inception and includes this value as part of the total arrangement consideration. In instances where we cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the non-cash consideration, we will measure the consideration indirectly by reference to its stand-alone selling price of the goods promised to the customer in exchange for consideration.
Fair Value Measurement
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value requires us to utilize observable and unobservable inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Financial instruments carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
Assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements are re-assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether any transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy.
For fair value disclosures, classes of assets and liabilities are based on the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy.
Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to us. We are exposed to credit risk from financial assets including cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash held at banks, trade and other receivables.
The credit risk is managed based on our credit risk management policies and procedures. Credit risk of any entity doing business with us is systematically analyzed, including aspects of a qualitative nature. The measurement and assessment of our total exposure to credit risk covers all financial instruments involving any counterparty risk.
The credit risk in respect of cash balances held with banks and deposits with banks are managed via diversification of bank deposits and are only with major reputable financial institutions.
As our risk exposure is mainly influenced by the individual characteristics of each customer, we continuously analyze the creditworthiness of significant customers. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and generally on terms of 30 to 90 days. As of December 31, 2024 two customers, accounted for 70% of accounts receivable, net of allowance. As of December 31, 2023, two customers accounted for 78% of our accounts receivable net of allowance.
We had two customers that each accounted for more than 10% of our revenue totaling $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and four customers that each accounted for more than 10% of our revenue totaling $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Impairment of Assets
We assess potential impairments to long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets or asset group. We performed an impairment test as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to our net loss for those years and concluded that the asset group is not impaired.
Estimates of future cash flows are highly subjective judgments based on management’s experience and knowledge of the Company's operations. These estimates can be significantly impacted by many factors, including changes in global economic conditions, operating costs, obsolescence of technology and competition.
If estimates or underlying assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges. If the fair value of an asset group is less than its carrying amount, then the carrying amount of the asset group would be reduced to its fair value. That reduction is an impairment loss that would be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Equity Method Investment
We account for our equity investment in which we have significant influence, but not a controlling financial interest, using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are initially recorded at cost, less impairment, and subsequently adjusted to recognize our share of earnings or losses as a component of Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Our equity method investment is required to be reviewed for impairment when it is determined there may be an other-than-temporary loss in value. We have not recorded any impairment losses related to our equity method investment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2024.
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure and recognize all stock-based compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all stock-based awards made to employees and non-employees using a graded vesting schedule. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period for each separate tranche, as though each tranche of the award is, in substance, a separate award. The expense calculation includes estimated forfeiture rates, which have been developed based upon historical experience.
The fair values for stock options are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following inputs:
Expected term -The simplified method is used to calculate the expected term.
Expected volatility -We determine the expected stock price volatility based on the historical volatilities of guideline companies from comparable industries.
Expected dividend yield -We do not use a dividend rate due to the fact that we have never declared or paid cash dividends on the Company’s common stock and we do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.
Risk-free interest rate -We base our interest rate on a treasury instrument for which the term is commensurate with the maximum expected life of the stock options.
The fair values for restricted stock units ("RSUs") with service-based vesting conditions are calculated based upon our closing stock price on the date of the grant.
Foreign Currencies
The financial position and results of operations of certain of our foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses of these subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries have been translated at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Aggregate foreign currency gains and losses, such as those resulting from the settlement of receivables or payables, foreign currency contracts and short-term intercompany advances in a currency other than the relevant subsidiary’s functional currency, are recorded currently in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss (included in other (expense) income, net) and resulted in gains of $2.4 million and $5.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively.
Leases
We determine if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. On the lease commencement date, we recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability related to operating type leases. The cost of ROU assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Operating lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of the future lease fixed payments. In determining the present value of future lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate applicable to the economic environment and the duration of the lease based on the information available at the commencement date as the majority of leases do not provide an implicit rate. For real estate and equipment contracts, we generally account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. In assessing the lease term, we include options to renew only when we are reasonably certain that such option(s) will be exercised; a determination which is at our sole discretion. Variable lease payments are recognized as expenses in the period incurred. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, we have elected to not record an ROU asset and lease liability. We record lease expense on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, beginning on the commencement date.
We remeasure and reallocate the consideration in a lease when there is a modification of the lease that is not accounted for as a separate contract. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in the lease term or in the assessment of whether we will exercise a lease option. We assess ROU assets for impairment in accordance with our long-lived asset impairment policy.
We account for lease agreements with contractually required lease and non-lease components on a combined basis. Lease payments made for cancellable leases, variable amounts that are not based on an observable index and lease agreements with an original duration of less than 12 months are recorded directly to lease expense.
For the periods presented, we do not have any financing type leases.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount owed by the customer, net of allowances for estimated credit losses, discounts, returns and rebates. We measure the allowance for credit losses based on the estimated loss. In calculating an allowance for credit losses, we use our historical experience, external indicators, forward-looking information and an aging method. Generally, we assess collectability of trade accounts receivable on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics which have been grouped based on the days past due. For certain customers that have a large percentage of our total accounts receivable, we analyze them on a specific basis to determine expected collectability.
Accounts are written off against the allowance account when they are determined to be no longer collectible. Of the total write-off in 2023, $3.2 million of it was reserved in prior periods. The following table shows the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
| December 31, | ||

| Write-offs | — | (4,237) |
| Recoveries collected | (118) | — |
| Allowance for credit losses as of end of period | $148 | $126 |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include deposits in banks and short-term (original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase.
Restricted cash, including amounts in Other non-current assets, represents amounts pledged as guarantees for sales and lease agreements as contractually required.

Research and Development
Research and development (R&D) costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. R&D costs include materials and equipment that have no alternative future use, depreciation on equipment and facilities currently used for R&D purposes, personnel costs, contract services and reasonable allocations of indirect costs, if clearly related to an R&D activity. Expenditures in the pre-production phase of an R&D project are recorded as R&D expense. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $7.5 million and $10.7 million, respectively and are included within Engineering costs on the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Tax Collected from Customers
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, which are collected by the Company from customers, are excluded from revenue.
- Accounting Standards Updates
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments in the ASU enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The ASU applies to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with ASC 280, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company has implemented this guidance as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 5 (Segment Information) for the Company’s segment disclosures.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which include improvements to income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU also includes certain other amendments to better align disclosures with Regulation S-X and to remove disclosures no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with earlier or retrospective application permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively for annual financial statements not yet issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses – Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which has as its objective to“address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses . . . in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses, and research and development).” Investors advised the FASB that “disclosure of disaggregated information about expenses is critically important in understanding an entity’s performance, assessing an entity’s prospects for future cash flows, and comparing an entity’s performance over time and with that of other entities.”
ASU 2024-03 adds ASC 220-40 to require a footnote disclosure about specific expenses by requiring public entities to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes any of the following natural expenses: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities or other types of depletion expenses. The tabular disclosure would also include certain other expenses, when applicable The guidance is effective for annual periods, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the effect that this ASU will have on the Company’s disclosures. The ASU does not change or remove existing expense disclosure requirements; however, it may affect where that information appears in the footnotes to the financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20), which provides additional guidance on whether induced conversion or extinguishment accounting should be applied to certain settlements of convertible debt instruments that do not occur in accordance with the instruments’ preexisting terms. The ASU requires entities to apply a preexisting contract approach. To qualify for induced conversion accounting under this approach, the inducement offer is required to preserve the form of consideration and result in an amount of consideration that is no less than that issuable pursuant to the preexisting conversion privileges. ASU 2024-04 clarifies how entities should assess the form and amount of consideration when applying this approach. In addition, the new ASU clarifies that induced conversion accounting can be applied to settlements of certain convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible as long as the instrument contained a substantive conversion feature as of both its issuance date and the inducement offer acceptance date. The Company has secured convertible debt as of December 31, 2024; however, to date, the Company has not offered the creditor an inducement to convert the debt. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine timing of implementation in case of future applicability.
- Reverse Recapitalization
On January 25, 2022, and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the merger between the Company and CF V (the “Merger”) was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization (the “Reverse Recapitalization”) in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, CF V was treated as the “acquired” company and Satellogic was treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the reverse recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing stock for the net assets of CF V, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CF V were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Merger represent those of the Company.
The transaction resulted in net cash proceeds of $168 million, after transaction expenses and debt repayment, through the contribution of cash held in CF V’s trust account, net of redemptions by CF V’s public stockholders, and a concurrent private placement offering led by SoftBank’s SBLA Advisers Corp. and CF&Co., among other institutional investors, and the Liberty Investment, as defined and described further below.
On the Closing Date, the Company consummated the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the following:
Private Placement Investment (“2022 PIPE”)
Pursuant to the relevant subscription agreement, Satellogic issued 5,816,770 shares of Class A common stock and a non-redeemable warrant (“PIPE Warrant”) to purchase 2,500,000 shares of Class A common stock to a PIPE investor at an exercise price of $20.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $58.2 million.
Forward Purchase Agreement
In July 2021, CFAC Holdings V, LLC (the “Sponsor”), CF V, and Satellogic entered into the Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Agreement (“FPA”), pursuant to which Satellogic issued to the Sponsor 1,250,000 shares of Class A common stock, and warrants to purchase an additional 333,333 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (“Forward Purchase Warrant”), for an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million.
Liberty Investment
On January 18, 2022, Satellogic and CF V entered into the Liberty Subscription Agreement with an investor (the “Liberty Investor”). Satellogic agreed to issue and sell to the Liberty Investor (i)20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock (the “Liberty Shares”), (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share (the “$10.00 Liberty Warrant”), and (iii) a warrant to purchase up to 15,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share (the “$15.00 Liberty Warrant”, and together with the $10.00 Liberty Warrant, the “Liberty Warrants”), in a private placement for an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million. The transaction closed on February 10, 2022 (the “Liberty Closing” and the transaction collectively, the “Liberty Investment”).
An advisory fee is payable by Satellogic in exchange for advisory services to be provided to Satellogic from time to time until a Cessation Event (as defined in the Liberty Subscription Agreement).

- Segment Information
The Company is organized asone operating segment, which is its reportable segment. Generally, its segment metrics are equal to the Company’s consolidated totals. The Company’s segment information is evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of decisions on how to allocate resources and to assess performance. The Company determined its reportable segment using the management approach based on how the CODM evaluates the business. The CODM uses the Company’s net (loss) income to assess the performance of the Company’s operating segment and evaluates the Company’s results against forecasted results.
The Company’s operating segment derives its revenues from the sale of images via asset monitoring and Constellation as a Service (“CaaS”) and the sale or licensing of satellites via the Company’s Space Systems product line. The Company evaluates its operations based on net (loss) income. Required segment disclosures that are equal to the Company’s consolidated totals and disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements include: net (loss), total assets, total revenue, interest income, interest (expense), depreciation expense, equity in net income (loss) of affiliate, income tax (expense), and equity in net income of affiliates accounted for by the equity method. In addition to depreciation expense other non-cash expenses include stock-based compensation disclosed on the statement of cash flows and a non-cash sales agreement described in Note 6 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). Total purchases of long lived assets include purchases of property and equipment disclosed in the statement of cash flows and the acquisition of operating lease right of use assets disclosed in Note 18 (Leases).
Other segment items are primarily made up of the following items not considered to be significant expenses: depreciation expense, change in fair value of financial instruments, income tax (expense), interest and financing costs, partially offset by foreign currency income adjustments and interest income.

$8.63 Warrants
In connection with the Merger, we entered into the PIPE Warrant Agreement on January 25, 2022, with the Sponsor and CF V, which amended the Public Warrant Agreement, dated January 28, 2021.
Pursuant to the Existing Warrant Agreement, we issued Public Warrants to purchase 8,333,333 shares of Class A common stock and 200,000 private placement Warrants. Additionally, we agreed to issue the Forward Purchase Warrant to purchase 333,333 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Agreement (together, with the Public Warrants and the private placement Warrants, the “$8.63 Warrants”).
All of the $8.63 Warrants are governed by the Existing Warrant Agreement. The $8.63 Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the Closing Date, or February 25, 2022, and will expire five years after the Closing Date (January 25, 2027), or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The $8.63 Warrants were initially recognized as a liability with a fair value of $4.9 million. On April 1, 2022, we determined pursuant to a warrant agreement executed by CF V on January 28, 2021, as modified and assumed by an assignment and assumption agreement executed on January 25, 2022, that the warrant price with respect to the warrants issued and outstanding was adjusted from $11.50 to $8.63 and the redemption price was adjusted from $18.00 to $13.50.

Pursuant to that certain Sponsor Support Agreement, dated as of July 5, 2021, by and among us, the Sponsor and Nettar, the Sponsor has agreed that during the period between the Closing and thefive-year anniversary of the Closing, the Sponsor shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Class A common stock equal to 1,869,000 less 30% of Forfeiture Escrow Shares retired and canceled (“Sponsor Earnout”). The Sponsor Earnout is subject to potential forfeiture to us for no consideration until the occurrence of each tranche’s respective earnout triggering event. The earnout triggering events related to achieving a closing price at or above $12.50, $15.00 and $20.00 per share, respectively, for any 10 trading days over a 20 trading day period were not satisfied during the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result, the sponsor earnout of 1,775,962 shares of Class A common stock were not vested and are subject to transfer restrictions and contingent forfeiture provisions.
The estimated fair value of the Sponsor Earnout liability is based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a semi-annual basis over the earnout period, using the most reliable information available. Assumptions used in the valuation are as follows:

- Income Tax
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we were incorporated in the BVI. Our operations are conducted through various subsidiaries in a number of countries throughout the world with significant operations in Uruguay, where we operate in a free trade zone. Consequently, income tax has been provided based on the laws and tax rates in effect in the countries in which operations are conducted or in which our subsidiaries are considered resident for corporate income tax purposes, including Argentina, China, Israel, the Netherlands, Spain, Uruguay, and the United States.
Our loss from continuing operations before income taxes as shown in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income consists of the following:

| Foreign | (91,138) | (42,838) |
| Total loss before income tax | $(113,414) | $(51,936) |
Our provision for income tax for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

As of December 31, 2024, we have gross unrecognized tax benefits of $1.6 million, inclusive of interest and penalties of $0.9 million. If recognized, $1.6 million would reduce our effective tax rate. If applicable, we accrue interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of our gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|

| Increases (decreases) related to prior year tax positions as a result of lapse of statute | (2) | (30) |
| Balance at December 31 | $708 | $1,026 |
The BVI does not impose an income tax. Our provision for (benefit from) income tax differed from the 0% tax rate imposed in the BVI due to the following items for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||||

The change in the effective tax rate from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024 is primarily related to the lower change in valuation allowances and reduction of gains from the remeasurement of tax liabilities denominated in Argentine pesos that were recognized in the prior year.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following:
| December 31, | ||

The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance if it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates all available positive and negative evidence such as past operating results, projected future taxable income, as well as prudent and feasible tax- planning strategies. Management believes that it is more-likely-than-not that the majority of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
The net change in the total valuation allowance is as follows:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Valuation allowance, beginning of year | 9,545 | 5,802 |

| Valuation allowance, end of year | $11,063 | $9,545 |
Below is a summary of our estimated loss and tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2024. Our tax attributes are subject to limitations on utilization due to historic ownership changes and may be subject to future limitations upon subsequent change of control, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $25.8 million and $14.5 million of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, respectively.
In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities. Tax years vary by jurisdiction, ranging from 2018 to 2023 remain open for examination.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds, referred to as ("Pillar 2"). Certain aspects of Pillar 2 became effective January 1, 2024 and other aspects became effective January 1, 2025. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt Pillar 2, certain countries have adopted legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar 2. We have evaluated the impact of Pillar 2 on our effective tax rate, our consolidated results of operation, financial position, and cash flows and have determined there was no impact to the Company in 2024.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 the shares purchased from 32,181 options exercised and 42,898 options exercised, respectively were sold for payment of withholding taxes.
A summary of RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2024 is as follows:
| Number of RSUs | Weighted Average Grant-Date Value | Intrinsic Value (in thousands) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding unvested RSUs at December 31, 2023 | 3,229,915 | $2.25 | $5,652 |

As of December 31, 2024, unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to outstanding options and RSUs that are expected to vest was $0.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.24 years and 1.15 years, respectively.
Stock-based Compensation Expense
Total employee and non-employee stock-based compensation expense was classified in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Selling, general and administrative | $2,015 | $3,952 |
| Engineering | 320 | 2,347 |
| Total | $2,335 | $6,299 |
- Net Loss Per Share
Diluted loss per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities. We identified financial instruments that qualify as potential common shares: (i) the share-based options awards described in Note 13 (Stock-based Compensation), (ii) the warrants described in Note 7 (Warrant Liabilities), and (iii) the earnout liabilities described in Note 8 (Earnout Liabilities). Each of these potential common shares are antidilutive since their conversion to common shares would decrease loss per share from continuing operations.
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Net loss attributable to holders of Common Stock | $(116,272) | $(61,018) |
| Basic weighted-average shares of Common Stock outstanding | 91,164,286 | 89,539,910 |
| Basic net loss per share for the period attributable to holders of Common Stock | $(1.28) | $(0.68) |
| Effect of dilutive securities: | ||
| Dilutive numerator | $(116,272) | $(61,018) |
| Diluted weighted-average Common Stock outstanding | 91,164,286 | 89,539,910 |
| Diluted net loss per share for the period attributable to holders of Common Stock | $(1.28) | $(0.68) |
Additionally, the following securities were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding because the effect would have been anti-dilutive:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values at December 31, 2024:
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are considered to approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these items.
The volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s and OS’s stock prices and the risk free rate of return assumption is based on market rates. An increase in volatility and or the risk free rate of return would result in higher values for the Company’s stock warrants and the OS stock warrants that are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The fair values of the OS stock warrant investment assets have been estimated using the Black-Scholes model. Significant unobservable inputs include:
Time to expiry:1 year
Volatility:18.6%
The fair values of the $8.63 Warrants were determined using the quoted prices in the active warrant market.
The fair values of the PIPE Warrant have been estimated using the Black-Scholes model. Significant unobservable inputs include:
The fair values of the Liberty Warrants and Liberty Advisory Fee Warrant have been estimated using the Black-Scholes model. Significant unobservable inputs include:
The fair value of the Sponsor Earnout has been estimated using the Monte Carlo model. Significant unobservable inputs include:
The fair values of the Secured Convertible Notes is determined by using the “with” method. At each measurement date we valued the Secured Convertible Notes with the conversion option. The difference between the aggregate fair value of the Secured Convertible Notes and the unpaid principal balance was $50.6 million at December 31, 2024. Inputs used for the fair value measurement include:
Credit spread –23.60% to 36.10%
Volatility:50%
Risk free rate of return:4.3%

- Secured Convertible Notes
There was no debt as of December 31, 2023. Debt as of December 31, 2024 is as follows:
| December 31, | |
|---|---|
| Secured Convertible Notes | $79,070 |
| Less: Current portion | — |
| Total non-current debt | $79,070 |
On April 12, 2024, the Company, Nettar and the Holder Representative entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which Nettar agreed to issue $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of Secured Convertible Notes to the Purchaser. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Secured Convertible Notes, after deducting transaction fees and other debt issuance costs, was approximately $27.6 million. The Secured Convertible Notes initially bear interest at a rate of SOFR plus 6.50% per annum (11.07% as of December 31, 2024), subject to an additional 4.0% per annum if certain events of default occur and are continuing (“Contingent Interest Feature”). The Secured Convertible Notes are guaranteed by the Company and each of the Company’s material subsidiaries (other than Nettar), and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets (including all of its intellectual property). Nettar may issue additional Secured Convertible Notes under the terms thereof, provided the aggregate principal outstanding amount does not exceed $50.0 million.
The Secured Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.20 (or 833.33 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Secured Convertible
Notes) (“Conversion Feature”), subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Company’s ability to settle conversions using the Company’s Class A common stock is subject to CFIUS Approval (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement).
Unless this Note has been previously settled or converted in accordance with the other features mentioned within agreement, the entire outstanding principal balance and all unpaid accrued interest shall become fully due and payable on the Maturity Date of April 12, 2028.
The following table details the scheduled maturity of the Secured Convertible Notes assuming no conversion prior to maturity:
| December 31, | |
|---|---|
| Years Ended | 2024 |
| 2025 | $— |
| 2026 | — |
| 2027 | — |
| 2028 | 30,000 |
| Total remaining Secured Convertible Notes payments | $30,000 |
In the event of an asset sale by the Company (outside the ordinary course of business) or an insurance or condemnation event that results in net proceeds to the Company in excess of $2.0 million Nettar will be required to offer to prepay the Secured Convertible Notes up to the amount of such proceeds at par (unless such proceeds are used to purchase comparable assets within six months). In the event the Secured Convertible Notes are accelerated as a result of an event of default, Nettar must pay a pre-payment penalty equal to 5% of the greater of (i) the outstanding principal amount and (ii) the then-prevailing conversion value. In connection with a change of control of the Company (including delisting of the Company’s Class A common stock), the holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the Secured Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to the greater of (i)105% of the redemption value of the Secured Convertible Notes or (ii)105% of the then-prevailing conversion value, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon, as well as any other amounts owed (the “Put Price”). Nettar also has the right to repurchase or force-convert the Secured Convertible Notes in connection with a full acquisition of the Company at the Put Price.
The Secured Convertible Notes contain certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on (i) incurring indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions, (including the ability to issue additional Secured Convertible Notes; provided the aggregate principal outstanding amount does not exceed $50.0 million), (ii) creating certain liens, subject to certain exceptions, (iii) the payment of dividends or other restricted payments, (iv) the sale, transfer or otherwise conveyance of certain assets, subject to asset sale pre-payment described above, and (v) affiliate transactions.
In connection with the offering, the Company also entered into (i) a side letter with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Purchaser will be entitled to pre-emptive rights, in order to maintain its as-converted ownership percentage on the same basis as new capital raised and (ii) a registration rights agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register for resale the Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Secured Convertible Notes.
Fair value option
The Company chose to record the Secured Convertible Notes using the fair value option whereby the Secured Convertible Notes are valued as one instrument. If this election had not been made, the Company would have been required to bifurcate the Conversion Feature and the Contingent Interest Feature of the notes as separate derivatives. The Company elected the fair value option in order to account for the Notes as one instrument to better reflect the way that the Company views the financial instrument. As a result of electing the fair value option, interest on the Secured Convertible Notes is included in the Change in fair value of financial instruments on the statement of operations and comprehensive loss and debt issuance costs were recorded as expense in the current period rather than being deferred and recorded as expense over the life of the Secured Convertible Notes.
- Leases
We have operating leases relating to office facilities, manufacturing facilities and ground stations. Lease terms range fromtwo years to 10 years.
Certain of the Company’s leases include options for early termination. The Company utilizes the base period as the lease term when initially recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, unless it is reasonably certain that a termination option will be exercised.
We recognized the following lease costs related to our operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||

| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Operating cash flows - operating lease payments | $(2,702) | $(2,368) |
The amounts of future undiscounted cash flows related to the lease payments over the lease term and the reconciliation to the present value of the operating lease liabilities at December 31, 2024 is as follows:
| Operating leases | |
|---|---|
| Years Ended | |
| 2025 | $413 |
| 2026 | 183 |
| 2027 | 179 |
| 2028 | 90 |
| 2029 | 111 |
| thereafter | — |
| Total remaining lease payments | 976 |
| Less imputed interest | (97) |
| Present value of lease liability | $879 |
| Total current | $363 |
| Total non-current | $516 |
The weighted-average remaining years for the operating leases are 4.6 years and 4.5 years as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The weighted-average discount rate for operating leases is 3.6% and 4.9% as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company obtained$0.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively of right-of-use assets for new operating lease obligations.
On November 29, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement for its Netherlands Lease. The Company paid $0.3 million in termination fees in connection with the settlement agreement. As a result of the termination of the Netherlands Lease, the related right-of-use asset was written off, the lease liability was derecognized. In total, the Company recognized a gain on the termination of the Netherlands Lease of $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The loss is included in engineering expenses on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company had an operating lease ROU asset of approximately $0.7 million related to the Netherlands Lease recorded in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024. The Company had current and non-current operating lease liabilities of approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to the Netherlands Lease recorded in its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
We may be named from time to time as a party to lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business related to its sales, marketing, and the provision of its services and equipment. Litigation and contingency accruals are based on our assessment, including advice of legal counsel, regarding the expected outcome of litigation or other dispute resolution proceedings. If we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and can be reasonably assessed, we establish the necessary accruals. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we are not aware of any contingent liabilities that should be reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Launch Services
The Company has purchased commitments for future satellite launch services to be performed by third parties subsequent to December 31, 2024. Future purchase commitments under noncancelable launch service contracts as of December 31, 2024 consisted of approximately $1.9 million of total purchase commitments for the year ending December 31, 2025 and total commitments of $12.1 million through 2028.
- Equity Method Investment
In 2022, we entered into an Investment Agreement with OS, a company engaged in the design and production of telescopes and opto-mechanical and aerospace instrumentation for ground and space-based applications, to purchase 5% (283,725 shares) of OS’s outstanding common shares for $3.7 million. Additionally, OS issued 524,715 stock warrants to us, giving us the right to convert each warrant into a single common share over a period of up to 36 months. The investment was completed on September 30, 2022. Emiliano Kargieman, our Chief Executive Officer, was appointed to OS’s board of directors. The inclusion of Mr. Kargieman on OS’s board of directors, the option to purchase additional shares, and being a significant customer of OS gives the Company a certain level of control that makes the equity method of accounting appropriate even though the Company’s investment is less than 20%.
The investment has a carrying value of $3.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and is included in Other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate value of the investment based on the quoted market price is approximately $4.0 million.
- Subsequent Events
Domestication
On March 26, 2025, we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of corporate domestication and a certificate of incorporation of a Delaware corporation with the name “Satellogic Inc.,” as well as filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the BVI a notice of the Company’s continuance out of the BVI, pursuant to which we domesticated and are continuing as a Delaware corporation. On the effective date of the Domestication, each of our BVI
Ordinary Shares and BVI Warrants automatically converted by operation of law, on aone-for-one basis, into shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock and warrants to purchase Class A common stock, respectively.
