  • Secured multi-day launch window for first lunar mission, beginning January 12, 2024
  • Selected by an International Space Agency in November for a $16.8 million contract to provide lunar rover services - the largest international award to date as the Company expands its global partnerships
  • Diversified customer base with the first significant Department of Defense, Air Force Research Laboratory (“AFRL”) $9.5 million Joint Energy Technology Supplying On-Orbit Nuclear Power (JETSON) award
  • Expanded operational capability with the new Lunar Production and Operations Center at the Houston Spaceport
  • Began customer transition for NASA’s five-year $719 million Omnibus Multi-Engineering Services (“OMES”) III contract - revenue expected to begin in December

HOUSTON, Nov. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intuitive Machines, Inc. (Nasdaq: LUNR, “Intuitive Machines,” or the “Company”), a leading space exploration, infrastructure, and services company, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus said, “During the third quarter, we continued to execute on our operational milestones. Starting with IM-1, we completed the full lander assembly on schedule in September. Assembly and integration continued on IM-2 and IM-3 while we transitioned to the new state of the art Lunar Production and Operations Center at the Houston Spaceport.”

Mr. Altemus continued, “Schedule changes and mission adjustments are a natural consequence of pioneering lunar exploration. We were ready to ship our Nova-C vehicle at the end of September, and now with our agreed upon launch date, we expect to ship in the coming weeks. We will continue to conduct offline confidence testing in our software, propulsion, and ground system until it's time to go, taking full advantage of this extended interval between planned and actual launch dates.”

Operational Highlights

  • Began the assembly and integration of the IM-2 mission lander’s primary structure, which includes the engine deck, propellant tanks and spines
  • Completed assembly of the rocket-powered drone (Micro Nova), scheduled to fly on our second lunar mission and have now moved into integrated spacecraft testing
  • Completed integration of the NASA’s ice mining drill onto the IM-2 mission lander’s primary structure
  • Secured more than 87% of the total workforce as of November 2, 2023 for NASA's five-year $719 million Omnibus Multi-Engineering Services ("OMES") III contract
  • Started a one-year NASA Tipping Point program to develop a Radioisotope Power System ("RPS") that is intended to enable space systems to survive the frozen lunar night

Third Quarter 2023 Financial and Business Highlights

  • Contracted backlog of $135.2 million at quarter-end and does not include NASA's five-year $719 million OMES III contract; task orders and associated backlog expected to begin in Q4
  • Third quarter 2023 revenue of $12.7 million, driven primarily by three NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative contracts within the Company’s lunar access services, compared to $10.3 million in the prior year end
  • Third quarter 2023 operating loss of $(23.2) million versus $(11.8) million in the prior year period
  • Secured $20 million equity investment from an institutional investor
  • Ending cash balance of $40.7 million as of the end of the third quarter
  • $3+ billion in upcoming award decisions for the Near Space Network Services (“NSNS”), Lunar Terrain Vehicle (“LTV”), and the next Commercial Lunar Payload Services (“CLPS”) award, among others

Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and constitute “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by the SEC. This includes adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management team uses to assess the Company’s operating performance and is calculated as net income (loss) excluding results from non-operating sources including interest income, interest expense, gain on extinguishing of debt, share based compensation, change in fair value instruments, depreciation, and provision for income taxes. Intuitive Machines has included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in the Company’s operating results and because it is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical measure, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Other companies, including companies in Intuitive Machines’ industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included below under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”

The Company has also included contracted backlog, which is defined as the total estimate of the revenue the Company expects to realize in the future as a result of performing work on awarded contracts, less the amount of revenue the Company has previously recognized. Intuitive Machines monitors its backlog because we believe it is a forward-looking indicator of potential sales which can be helpful to investors in evaluating the performance of its business and identifying trends over time.

Free Cash Flow

We define free cash flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations that, after purchases of property and equipment, can be used for strategic initiatives, including continuous investment in our business and strengthening our balance sheet.

Free Cash Flow has limitations as a liquidity measure, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • Free Cash Flow is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
  • Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences among methods of calculation.
  • Free Cash Flow may be affected in the near to medium term by the timing of capital investments, fluctuations in our growth and the effect of such fluctuations on working capital and changes in our cash conversion cycle.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash used in operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, to free cash flow:

 Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)2023  2022 
Net cash used in operating activities        (22,933)         (28,358)
Purchases of property and equipment        (27,668)         (12,150)
Free cash flow        (50,601)         (40,508)


Backlog

The following table presents our backlog as of the periods indicated:

(in thousands) September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Backlog $135,167 $201,946


Backlog decreased by $66.8 million as of September 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, primarily due to continued performance on existing contracts of $49.0 million and decreases related to contract value adjustments of $37.1 million primarily related to certain time and materials and other contracts. The decrease was slightly offset by new awards of $19.3 million to be manifested on the IM-1 and IM-3 missions, in addition to a new award in September 2023 of $9.5 million.
