Intuitive Machines, Inc.

Previous report

We are subject to risks from the continuation of the ongoing U.S. federal government shutdown.

Previous report

Our business is exposed to operational and financial disruptions caused by the U.S. federal government shutdown that began on October 1, 2025. The ongoing U.S. federal government shutdown may result in us experiencing delays or decreases in task orders with NASA or other governmental agencies or potentially the suspension of work on contracts in progress or in payment delays related to the funding status of different programs. Given the indefinite nature of the current shutdown and the absence of a clear resolution timeline, we anticipate continued volatility in the federal contracting environment. If the shutdown persists for an extended timeframe, it could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial performance.

Previous report

As part of growing our business, we have made and may continue to make acquisitions. Any acquisitions, partnerships or joint ventures into which we enter could disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

From time to time, we may evaluate potential strategic acquisitions of businesses, including partnerships or joint ventures with third parties, to add new products and technologies, acquire talent, grow new sales channels or enter into new markets or sales territories. For example, on November 3, 2025, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, to acquire Lanteris Space Systems. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, the Company will purchase from Advent 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Lanteris The aggregate consideration for the acquisition is $800 million, consisting of $450 million in cash and $350 million in the Company’s Class A Common Stock, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

Previous report

We may not be able to continue the operational success of the businesses we acquire or successfully finance or integrate such businesses or the businesses with which we form a partnership or joint venture. Furthermore, the integration of any acquisition may divert management’s time and resources from our core business and disrupt our operations or may result in conflicts with our business. Any acquisition, partnership or joint venture may not be successful, may reduce our cash reserves, may negatively affect our earnings and financial performance and, to the extent financed with the proceeds of debt, may increase our indebtedness. Further, depending on market conditions, investor perceptions of the Company and other factors, we might not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, to implement any such transaction. We cannot ensure that any acquisition, partnership or joint venture we make will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

In addition to possible shareholder approval, we may need approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the acquisitions to comply with applicable laws and regulations, and a failure to obtain such approvals and licenses could result in delays in completing an acquisition and increased costs, and may disrupt our business strategy. Furthermore, acquisitions and the subsequent integration of new assets, businesses, key personnel, customers, vendors and suppliers require significant attention from our management and could result in a diversion of resources from our existing business, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our operations. Acquired assets or businesses may not generate the financial results we expect. Acquisitions could result in the use of substantial amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and potential exposure to unknown liabilities of the acquired business. Moreover, the costs of identifying and consummating acquisitions may be significant.

Previous report

We will no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company” nor a “smaller reporting company” as of December 31, 2025, and, as a result, we will have to comply with increased disclosure and compliance requirements.

Previous report

We are currently an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act and a “smaller reporting company” (“SRC”) under the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. However, because (i) the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of June 30, 2025, (ii) we have been a public company for more than one year, and (iii) we have filed at least one annual report, we will no longer qualify as an EGC or a SRC as of December 31, 2025 and will be a large accelerated filer beginning January 1, 2026 for future filings.

Previous report

As a large accelerated filer, we will be subject to certain disclosure and compliance requirements that apply to other public companies but that did not previously apply to us due to our status as an EGC and a SRC. These requirements include, but are not limited to:

Previous report

•compliance with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements;

Previous report

•the requirement that we provide more detailed disclosures regarding executive compensation; and the requirement that we hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and obtain stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We expect that the loss of EGC and SRC status and compliance with the additional requirements of being a large accelerated filer will increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and costs associated with investor relations activities, and cause management and other personnel to divert attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to public company reporting requirements. In addition, if we are not able to comply with changing requirements in a timely manner, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our common stock is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.
