Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Highlights

Financial:

   -- Full year 2024 revenue was $110.5 million, representing 13% 
      year-over-year growth. This growth was primarily driven by increased 
      annual recurring revenue business and growth in revenue recognized for 
      Space Services contracts. 
 
   -- Full year 2024 cash flow used in operations was $18.5 million, which 
      reflects a 49% improvement year-over-year. Free cash flow1 was negative 
      $45.0 million, reflecting a 16% improvement year-over-year. 
 
   -- As of December 31, 2024, the remaining performance obligations under 
      contract not yet recognized as revenue was $216.4 million. The Company 
      expects to recognize approximately 31% of these future commitments over 
      the next 12 months.

Measures for the definition of such measures and the reconciliation tables at 
the end of this release for reconciliation to the most directly comparable 
GAAP measure. 
 

Business:

   -- Spire and Mission Control announced a mission to explore the power of 
      artificial intelligence ("AI") in space. Spire has agreed to build and 
      operate a satellite with an optical payload that will provide images of 
      the Earth for analysis by Mission Control's onboard AI algorithms. Spire 
      will manage the full lifecycle of the 6U satellite, from design and build 
      to launch and operation. 
 
   -- Spire was selected by LatConnect60 to help improve sustainable 
      agriculture practices by providing Global Navigation Satellite System 
      $(GNSS)$ reflectometry data and Soil Moisture Insights. Spire's Soil 
      Moisture Insights leverages its GNSS-R satellite constellation to deliver 
      high-resolution, daily soil moisture insights at 500-meter and 
      six-kilometer resolutions, covering any location worldwide. Accessible 
      via API, the product integrates seamlessly into existing systems, 
      providing precise, actionable insights for applications such as drought 
      and flood forecasting, irrigation planning, commodity price forecasting, 
      hydrological modeling and more. 

Financial Outlook

For the full year 2025, Spire expects revenue, excluding the held-for-sale maritime business, to grow at approximately 12% to 17%, with revenue growth to largely occur in the second half of the year. Spire expects to see approximately 20% revenue growth in 2026, excluding the held-for-sale maritime business. Spire intends to provide additional guidance for full year 2025 in conjunction with the closing of the proposed sale of its maritime business to Kpler Holding SA. Spire is providing the following guidance for the first quarter of 2025:

Non-GAAP operating loss, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP loss per share included in the table above are non-GAAP measures. Please see the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for the definition of such measures. Spire has provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the tables included in this press release for its fourth quarter and full year 2023 and 2024, as well as its outlook for such measures for the first quarter of 2025.

Future revenue growth excluding the held-for-sale maritime business is a non-GAAP financial measure for which a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable efforts. See "Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below, which identifies the information that is unavailable without unreasonable efforts and provides additional information. It is probable that this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP financial measure. Spire has provided a reconciliation of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 to revenue excluding the held-for-sale maritime business for the year ended December 31, 2024 in the tables included in this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, this press release and the accompanying tables contain, and the conference call will contain, non-GAAP financial measures, including free cash flow, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margins, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating loss/income, non-GAAP operating margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss/income, and non-GAAP net loss/income per share. Spire's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, in evaluating its ongoing operational performance and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to help investors understand the operational performance of their businesses. However, it is important to note that the particular items Spire excludes from, or includes in, its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry. In addition, other companies may utilize metrics that are not similar to Spire's. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. There are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures since they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Spire's financial statements. Investors should note that the excluded items may have had, and may in the future have, a material impact on our reported financial results. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results. Management encourages investors and others to review Spire's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Spire adjusts the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP financial measures:

Loss on decommissioned satellites. Spire excludes loss on decommissioned satellites because if there was no loss, the expense would be accounted for as depreciation and would also be excluded as part of its EBITDA calculation.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities and contingent earnout liabilities. Spire excludes these items as they do not reflect the underlying cash flows or operational results of the business.

Issuance of stock warrants. Spire excludes this as it does not reflect the underlying cash flows or operational results of the business.

Other expense, net. Spire excludes other expense, net because it includes unusual items that do not reflect the underlying operational results of its business. Examples of such expenses include prepayment penalties on outstanding debt and vendor dispute legal settlements.

Stock-based compensation. Spire excludes stock-based compensation expenses primarily because they are non-cash expenses that it excludes from its internal management reporting processes. Spire also finds it useful to exclude these expenses when management assesses the appropriate level of various operating expenses and resource allocations when budgeting, planning, and forecasting future periods. Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use under FASB ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, Spire believes excluding stock-based compensation expenses allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between its recurring core business operating results and those of other companies.

Amortization of purchased intangibles. Spire incurs amortization expense for purchased intangible assets in connection with acquisitions of certain businesses and technologies. Amortization of intangible assets is a non-cash expense and is inconsistent in amount and frequency because it is significantly affected by the timing, size of acquisitions and the inherent subjective nature of purchase price allocations. Because these costs have already been incurred and cannot be recovered, and are non-cash expenses, Spire excludes these expenses for its internal management reporting processes. Spire's management also finds it useful to exclude these charges when assessing the appropriate level of various operating expenses and resource allocations when budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. It is important to note that while this amortization expense is excluded for purposes of non-GAAP presentation, the revenue of the acquired businesses is reflected in the non-GAAP measures and that the assets contribute to revenue generation.

Other acquisition accounting amortization. Spire incurs amortization expense for purchased data rights in connection with the acquisition of exactEarth and certain technologies. Amortization of this asset is a non-cash expense that can be significantly affected by the inherent subjective nature of the assigned value and useful life. Spire excludes this amortization expense for its internal management reporting processes because it has already been incurred and is a non-cash expense. Spire's management also finds it useful to exclude this charge when assessing the appropriate level of various operating expenses and resource allocations when budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. It is important to note that while this expense is excluded for purposes of non-GAAP presentation, the revenue of the acquired companies is reflected in the non-GAAP measures and that the assets contribute to revenue generation.

Mergers and acquisition related expenses. Spire excludes these expenses as they are transaction costs and expenses associated with the transaction that are generally infrequent in nature and not reflective of the underlying operational results of Spire's business. Examples of these types of expenses include legal, accounting, regulatory, other consulting services, severance, and other employee costs.

Foreign exchange gain/loss. Spire is exposed to foreign currency gains or losses on outstanding foreign currency denominated receivables and payables related to certain customer sales agreements, product costs and other operating expenses. As Spire does not actively hedge these currency exposures, changes in the underlying currency rates relative to the U.S. dollar may result in realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses between the time these receivables and payables arise and the time that they are settled in cash. Since such realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses are the result of macro-economic factors and can vary significantly from one period to the next, Spire believes that exclusion of such realized and unrealized gains and losses is useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of its ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis.

Other unusual and infrequent costs. Spire excludes these as they are unusual items that do not reflect the ongoing operational results of its business. Examples of these types of expenses include accounting, legal and other professional fees associated with the financial restatement, the proposed sale of its maritime business to Kpler Holding SA, and customer contract enforcement.

Our additional non-GAAP measures include:

Free Cash Flow. Spire defines free cash flow as net cash provided by/used in operating activities less purchases of property and equipment.

EBITDA. Spire defines EBITDA as net income (loss), plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus interest expense, and plus the provision for (or minus benefit from) income taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA. Spire defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for any loss on decommissioned satellites, launch failure and decommissioning, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, change in fair value of contingent earnout liability, issuances of stock warrants, other (expense) income, net, stock-based compensation, foreign exchange gain/loss, other acquisition accounting amortization, mergers and acquisition related expenses, and other unusual costs. Spire believes Adjusted EBITDA can be useful in providing an understanding of the underlying results of operations and trends and an enhanced overall understanding of its financial performance and prospects for the future. While Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under GAAP, management uses this financial measure to evaluate and forecast business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income/loss as it does not take into account certain requirements, such as capital expenditures and related depreciation, principal and interest payments, and tax payments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and Spire's use of the term Adjusted EBITDA may vary from the use of similarly titled measures by others in its industry due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables contain, and the conference call will contain, a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure for the years ending December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2026. We calculate this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure based on internal forecasts that omit projected revenue from the held-for-sale maritime business. We have not provided quantitative reconciliations of this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure because the excluded item is not available on a prospective basis without unreasonable efforts, primarily because the timing of the held-for-sale maritime business transaction is difficult to predict. In addition, Spire believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. It is probable that this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP financial measure.

Conference Call

Spire will webcast a conference call to discuss the results at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time today. The webcast will be available on Spire's Investor Relations website at ir.spire.com. A replay of the call will be available on the site for six months.
