Virgin Orbit Announces First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Q1 Business Highlights:

  • Completed third consecutive successful launch on January 13, 2022; delivered satellites for the DoD, NASA, and a commercial customer
  • Selected by NASA to provide launch services for the VADR missions
  • Added Poland and Oman to list of potential Spaceports
  • Announced payloads for first launch from UK

Virgin Orbit (Nasdaq: VORB) (“Virgin Orbit” or the “Company”), the responsive space flight and services company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Virgin Orbit’s Chief Executive Officer, Dan Hart, commented, “We had a strong start to the year, beginning with our third consecutive successful launch. As we ramp production and launch rate, our team is laser focused on flawless execution of our next mission for the DoD, followed by the first ever orbital launch from the UK.”

Mr. Hart continued, “With the escalating geopolitical environment, our ability to launch from airports around the world has attracted growing interest. The differentiated capabilities of our system to launch from anywhere, at any time, to any orbit, can uniquely serve the national security community and our allies. We believe Virgin Orbit is well positioned for future growth as the space economy continues to rapidly develop.”

Recent Business Highlights:

  • Announced our next launch, serving the U.S. Space Force Rocket Systems Launch Program (RSLP) and the Department of Defense (DoD) Space Test Program (STP)
  • Signed binding launch contract with IQPS in May 2022 for launch of synthetic aperture radar
  • Secured two additional 747 aircraft
  • Renamed and rebranded national security arm to Virgin Orbit National Systems
  • Craig R. Cooning (Major General USAF Ret.), former president of Boeing’s Space and Network Systems business and Kimberly A. Crider (Major General USSF Ret.), former U.S. Space Force acting Chief Technology and Innovation Officer joined Virgin Orbit National Systems’ board of directors

First Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:

  • Revenue of $2.1 million, compared to $5.5 million in first quarter 2021, driven by launches contracted during early development phase with introductory pricing
  • Net loss of $62.6 million, compared to a net loss of $32.3 million in first quarter 2021, as a result of the expected revenue recognition of contract losses given our initial low-rate production phase as well as higher SG&A associated with becoming a public company
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $(49.6) million, compared to $(29.0) million in the same prior year period
  • Net cash used from operations of $61.6 million, compared to $39.5 million in the same prior year period, as the Company continues to invest in the business
  • Capital expenditures of $5.0 million, compared to $5.2 million in the same prior year period
  • Free cash flow of $(66.6) million, compared to $(44.7) million in the same prior year period
  • Cash and cash equivalents of $127.4 million
  • As of March 31, 2022, total non-binding and binding backlog was $575.6 million* of which $156.9 million was binding

*Backlog as of March 31, 2022 included $22 million for a non-binding memorandum of understanding that was terminated after March 31, 2022, and will not be included in such amounts after such termination.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

Reconciliation of Adjusted (Non-GAAP) Results

This press release references Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and certain other items the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating performance. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational-decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow or any other non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
