NextNav Inc. Reports First Quarter 2025 Results and Operational Highlights
FCC releases Notice of Inquiry (NOI) with bipartisan 4-0 vote
NextNav Announces Appointment of Rear Admirals H. Wyman Howard and Lorin Selby to its Board of Directors
RESTON, Va., May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NextNav Inc. (NASDAQ: NN) a leader in next generation positioning, navigation, and timing $(PNT)$ and 3D geolocation, today reported its financial results and operational updates for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
"During the quarter we saw continued FCC momentum with a unanimous vote in March to further explore PNT solutions, specifically including NextNav's," said NextNav's CEO, Mariam Sorond. "We remain focused on executing against our goals and addressing an urgent national security need for a terrestrial complement and backup to GPS. We look forward to working with the FCC and the rest of the industry to enable PNT resiliency."
Recent Operational Highlights
-- Announced Appointment of Two New Members to Board of Directors: On April
16, 2025, NextNav announced the appointment of Retired Rear Admirals H.
Wyman Howard and Lorin Selby to its Board of Directors, effective May 1,
2025.
-- FCC Releases Notice of Inquiry (NOI): On March 27, 2025, the FCC
unanimously voted to approve the NOI titled Promoting the Development of
PNT Technologies and Solutions to explore how the Commission may foster
GPS backups and alternatives, underscoring the FCC's focus on this issue.
On April 28, 2025, NextNav filed comments with the FCC emphasizing the
importance of at least one future-proof solution that relies on market
forces to deliver a terrestrial, widescale PNT solution that is broadly
available to critical infrastructure, public safety, and consumers, and
has a clear path to incorporation in end-user devices.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Financial Highlights
-- Revenue: was $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as
compared to $1.0 million in the prior year period. The increase was
driven by an increase in service revenue from technology and services
contracts with government and commercial customers.
-- Operating Loss: was $17.0 million in the three months ended March 31,
2025, as compared to an operating loss of $16.2 million in the prior year
period, primarily driven by higher professional fees and outside
consulting expenses, partially offset by reductions in software license
costs and payroll-related expenses.
-- Net Loss: was $58.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025,
including a loss on change in the fair value of derivative liability of
$24.5 million and debt extinguishment loss of $14.4 million, as compared
to a net loss of $31.6 million in the prior year period, including a loss
on the fair value of the warrants of $13.2 million.
-- Balance Sheet: as of March 31, 2025, the Company had $150.4 million in
cash and cash equivalents and $38.0 million in short term investments.
Net long term debt of $213.1 million includes derivative liability of
$56.5 million, and is net of unamortized discount of $33.4 million, with
a face value of $190.0 million.
