Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights

   --  Fourth quarter revenue of $54.3 million and full year revenue of $70.9 
      million, driven by gateway deliveries and U.S. Government milestones met 
 
 
   --  Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $126.6 
      million, including $30.9 million of depreciation and amortization and 
      stock-based compensation expense. This represents an increase of $32.2 
      million as compared to $94.4 million in the third quarter of 2025 due to 
      a $23.9 million increase in cost of revenues mainly attributable to 
      increased volume of gateway deliveries, a $5.4 million increase in 
      engineering services costs, a $3.5 million increase in research and 
      development costs, and a $3.0 million increase in depreciation and 
      amortization expense, partially offset by a $3.6 million decrease in 
      general and administrative costs 
 
   --  Adjusted operating expenses(1) for the fourth quarter of 2025 were 
      $95.7 million, an increase of $28.0 million as compared to $67.7 million 
      in the third quarter of 2025 due to a $23.4 million increase in Adjusted 
      cost of revenues(1), a $3.0 million increase in Adjusted engineering 
      services costs(1), a $3.5 million increase in research and development 
      costs, partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in Adjusted general 
      and administrative costs(1). Our Adjusted operating expenses(1) for the 
      fourth quarter of 2025 excluding Adjusted cost of revenues(1), was $66.8 
      million, compared to $62.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 
 
   --  As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted 
      cash of $2.8 billion 
 
   --  As of December 31, 2025, we had incurred approximately $1.6 billion of 
      gross capitalized property and equipment costs and accumulated 
      depreciation and amortization of $173.7 million. The capitalized costs 
      include costs of satellite materials for BlueBird satellites, advance 
      launch payments, capital advances, Block 1 and BlueWalker 3 satellites, 
      assembly and integration facilities including assembly and test equipment, 
      and ground antennas 
 
(1)  See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information. See 
     reconciliation of Adjusted operating expenses to Total operating 
     expenses, Adjusted cost of revenues to Cost of revenues, Adjusted 
     engineering services costs to Engineering services costs and Adjusted 
     general and administrative costs to General and administrative costs in 
     the tables accompanying this press release. 
 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including Adjusted operating expenses, Adjusted cost of revenues, Adjusted engineering services costs and Adjusted general and administrative costs. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures across time in evaluating our operating performance as we use these measures to manage the business, including in preparing our annual operating budget and financial projections. These non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP, and therefore have limits in their usefulness to investors. Because of the non-standardized definitions, these measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies and are presented solely to provide investors with useful information to more fully understand how management assesses performance. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for their most directly comparable GAAP measures. Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this press release.

Adjusted operating expenses, Adjusted cost of revenues, Adjusted engineering services costs, and Adjusted general and administrative costs are alternative financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance as a supplement to our most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted operating expense as Total operating expenses adjusted to exclude amounts of stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization expense. We define Adjusted cost of revenues, Adjusted engineering services costs, and Adjusted general and administrative costs, as cost of revenues, engineering services costs, and general and administrative costs, respectively, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expenses.

We believe Adjusted operating expenses, Adjusted cost of revenues, Adjusted engineering services costs, and Adjusted general and administrative costs are useful measures across time in evaluating our operating performance as we use these measures to manage the business, including in preparing our annual operating budget and financial projections. Adjusted operating expenses, Adjusted cost of revenues, Adjusted engineering services costs, and Adjusted general and administrative costs are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP, and therefore have limits in their usefulness to investors. Because of the non-standardized definitions, these measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies and are presented solely to provide investors with useful information to more fully understand how management assesses performance. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for their most directly comparable GAAP measure of Total operating expenses, Cost of revenues, Engineering services costs, and General and administrative costs.
