Rocket Lab ended the quarter with approximately $271 million in cash and cash equivalents, up from $162.5 million in the prior year’s quarter.

“2024 was a record-setting year for Rocket Lab, with our highest annual revenue ever posted of $436.2 million and a record Q4 2024 revenue of $132.4 million — a 382% increase compared to fourth quarter 2021, our first full quarter following our debut on the Nasdaq as a publicly-traded company,” said Peter Beck, founder and CEO of Rocket Lab.

“We rounded out the year with significant advancement across the Neutron program ahead of a planned debut launch in the second half of 2025.
