Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning us and other matters. These statements may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to management.
Forward-looking statements may be accompanied by words such as “achieve,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “grow,” “increase,” “intend,” “may,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strategy,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or similar words, phrases, or expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
any delay in future commercial flights of our spaceflight fleet;
our ability to successfully develop and test our next-generation vehicles, and the time and costs associated with doing so;
the safety of our spaceflight systems;
the development of the markets for commercial spaceflight and commercial research and development payloads;
our ability to effectively market and sell spaceflights;
our ability to convert our backlog or inbound inquiries into revenue;
our anticipated full passenger capacity;
our ability to achieve or maintain profitability;
delay in development or the manufacture of spaceflight systems;
our ability to supply our technology to additional market opportunities;
our expected capital requirements and the availability of additional financing;
our ability to attract or retain highly qualified personnel;
the effect of terrorist activity, armed conflict (including any escalation of hostility arising out of the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Hamas, or other geopolitical conflicts), natural disasters or pandemic diseases on the economy generally, on our future financial or operational results, or our access to additional financing;
consumer preferences and discretionary purchasing activity, which can be significantly adversely affected by unfavorable economic or market conditions;
extensive and evolving government regulation that impact the way we operate, including the potential negative effects of changes in United States tariff and import/export regulations;
risks associated with international expansion;
our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure and procedures; and
our ability to continue to use, maintain, enforce, protect and defend our owned and licensed intellectual property, including the Virgin brand.

(1)    Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries ("Virgin Galactic" or the "Company"), is an aerospace and space travel company focused on the development, manufacture and operation of spaceships and related technologies. The Company provides access to space for private individuals, researchers and government agencies. The Company's missions include flying passengers to space, as well as flying scientific payloads and researchers to space in order to conduct experiments for scientific and educational purposes.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in management's opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies presented in the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K that would have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Reverse Stock Split
On June 14, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 20 shares of the Company’s common stock issued or outstanding were automatically reclassified into one new share of common stock. Proportionate adjustments were also made to the exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards, as applicable, as well as to the number of shares issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plans and certain existing agreements. All shares of the Company’s common stock, per-share data and related information included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted as though the Reverse Stock Split had been effected prior to all periods presented.
(2)    Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
The Company maintains certain cash balances restricted as to withdrawal or use. Restricted cash consists of cash deposits received from future astronauts that are contractually restricted for operational use until the condition of carriage is signed or the deposits are refunded.
The amortized cost, unrealized gain and estimated fair value of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are as follows:

(6)    Convertible Senior Notes
In January 2022, the Company completed an offering of $425 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes (the "2027 Notes"). The 2027 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.50% per year. Interest is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The 2027 Notes mature on February 1, 2027 unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

(7)    Stockholders' Equity
In June 2023, the Company entered into a distribution agency agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (each, an "Agent" and collectively, the "Agents") providing for the offer and sale of up to $400 million of shares of the Company's common stock from time to time through the Agents, acting as sales agents, or directly to one or more of the Agents, acting as principal(s), through an "at-the-market offering" program (the "2023 ATM Program").
In November 2024, the Company terminated the 2023 ATM Program, having sold a total of 12.8 million shares of common stock and generating $396.2 million in gross proceeds, before deducting $3.9 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.
In November 2024, the Company entered into an open market sale agreement with Jefferies LLC ("Jefferies") providing for the offer and sale of up to $300 million of shares of the Company's common stock from time to time through Jefferies, acting as sales agent, or directly to Jefferies, acting as principal, through an "at-the-market offering" program (the "2024 ATM Program").
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold 6.9 million shares of common stock under the 2024 ATM Program and generated $30.7 million in gross proceeds, before deducting $0.9 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company sold a total of 11.1 million shares of common stock under the 2024 ATM Program, generating $59.8 million in gross proceeds since its inception, before deducting $1.8 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.

(8)    Stock-Based Compensation
The Company maintains two equity incentive plans -- the Second Amended and Restated Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. 2019 Incentive Award Plan (the "Second A&R Plan") and the Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. 2023 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan (the "Inducement Plan").
Pursuant to the Second A&R Plan and related predecessor plans, the Company has granted time-based stock options, performance-based stock options ("PSOs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance stock units ("PSUs"). Pursuant to the Inducement Plan, the Company has granted RSUs.
A summary of the components of stock-based compensation expense included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss is as follows:

Less: stock-based compensation expense for liability-classified awards
(64)199 
Stock-based compensation expense for equity-classified awards
$4,833 $8,045 
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million for stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.6 years. There was no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for PSOs. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense as of March 31, 2025 for RSUs and PSUs totaled $38.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, which are expected to be recognized over weighted-average periods of 2.6 years and 1.0 years, respectively.
(9)    Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $48,000 and $80,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective income tax rate was nil for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The following table presents net loss per share and related information:

Weighted-average common shares outstanding
35,440 20,019 
Basic and diluted net loss per share$(2.38)$(5.10)
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share excludes the effect of all potential common shares outstanding as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.
The Company has excluded stock-based awards and shares issuable upon conversion of the 2027 Notes from the diluted loss per share calculation because their effect was anti-dilutive. The total number of shares excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were 7.0 million and 2.5 million, respectively.
(11)    Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements are required to be disclosed within a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. Accordingly, assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified within the fair value hierarchy in one of the following categories:
• Level 1 inputs — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 inputs — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
• Level 3 inputs — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.
The following tables present the Company's financial assets that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated among the appropriate levels within the fair value hierarchy:

Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company applies accounting for contingencies to determine when and how much to accrue for and disclose related to legal and other contingencies. Accordingly, the Company discloses contingencies deemed to be reasonably possible and accrues loss contingencies when, in consultation with legal advisors, it is concluded that a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Although the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters is subject to many uncertainties and is therefore not predictable with assurance, management believes that any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company from these matters, individually and in the aggregate, beyond that provided at March 31, 2025, would not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance with respect to such result, and monetary liability or financial impact to the Company from legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims could differ materially from those projected.

Lavin v. the Company
On May 28, 2021, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company in the Eastern District of New York captioned Lavin v. Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. ("Lavin Action"), Case No. 1:21-cv-03070. In September 2021, the Court appointed Robert Scheele and Mark Kusnier as co-lead plaintiffs for the purported class. Co-lead plaintiffs amended the complaint in December 2021, asserting violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a) and 20A of the Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased the Company's common stock between July 10, 2019 and October 14, 2021.
The amended complaint alleged, among other things, that the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose certain information regarding the safety of the Company's ships and success of its commercial flight program. Co-lead plaintiffs seek damages, interest, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, and other unspecified equitable relief. The defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint and, on November 7, 2022, the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion and gave the plaintiffs leave to file a further amended complaint.
Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on December 12, 2022. The second amended complaint contains many of the same allegations as in the first amended complaint. The defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint and, on August 8, 2023, the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion and did not give

plaintiffs leave to file a further amended complaint. Plaintiffs moved for reconsideration of the court’s dismissal order and, on December 19, 2023, the court denied plaintiffs’ motion. On March 27, 2024, the defendants moved for judgment on the pleadings as to the remaining Section 10(b) insider trading claim alleged against Branson. On April 2, 2024, the court stayed briefing on defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings pending resolution of plaintiffs’ anticipated motion for leave to add a new representative plaintiff, which plaintiffs’ subsequently filed on May 1, 2024. The court granted plaintiffs’ motion on July 2, 2024. On July 8, 2024, defendants withdrew their motion for judgment on the pleadings.
On August 21, 2024, plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint in which Xinqiang Cui, Justin Carlough, Jennifer Ortiz, Richard O’Keefe-Jones, Vipul Gupta, Maria Josephine Rosales, and Hesham Ibrahim (previously named plaintiffs), were designated by plaintiffs as lead plaintiffs (in addition to Robert Scheele and Mark Kusnier), and an additional named plaintiff, Montgomery Brantley, was added. The third amended complaint contains substantively the same allegations as in the second amended complaint. On September 11, 2024, defendants filed an answer to plaintiffs’ third amended complaint.
On October 12, 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion to certify their proposed class. The defendants filed an opposition to plaintiffs’ motion on December 20, 2024, plaintiffs filed their reply on January 24, 2025, and defendants filed a sur-reply on March 21, 2025. The motion is pending before the Court.
On February 12, 2025, plaintiffs submitted a letter request to the Court seeking permission to file a motion for leave to file a Fourth Amended Complaint. On March 17, 2025, the Court granted plaintiffs’ request to file a motion for leave to amend, which plaintiffs did on March 26, 2025. Defendants filed their opposition on April 11, 2025, and plaintiffs filed their reply on April 23, 2025. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against this matter.
Spiteri, Grenier, Laidlaw, St. Jean, and Gera derivatively on behalf of the Company vs. Certain Current and Former Officers and Directors
On February 21, 2022, March 1, 2022, September 21, 2022, December 13, 2022, and July 11, 2024, five alleged shareholders filed separate derivative complaints purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors in the Eastern District of New York captioned Spiteri v. Branson et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00933 (“Spiteri Action”), Grenier v. Branson et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-01100 (“Grenier Action”), Laidlaw v. Branson et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-05634 (“Laidlaw Action”), St. Jean v. Branson et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-7551 (“St. Jean Action”), and Gera v. Branson et al., Case No. 24-cv-04795 (“Gera Action”), respectively. On May 4, 2022, the Spiteri and Grenier Actions were consolidated and recaptioned In re Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Case No. 1:22-cv-00933 (“Consolidated Derivative Action”). On September 30, 2023, the Laidlaw Action was consolidated into the Consolidated Derivative Action. On September 12, 2024, the Gera Action was consolidated into the Consolidated Derivative Action. Collectively, the complaints assert violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 21D of the Exchange Act of 1934 and claims of breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, contribution and indemnification, and unjust enrichment arising from substantially similar allegations as those contained in the securities class action described above. The complaints seek an unspecified sum of damages, interest, restitution, expenses, attorneys’ fees and other equitable relief. Per Court orders adopting the parties’ stipulations, the Consolidated Derivative Action and St. Jean Action are stayed until the close of fact discovery in the Lavin Action.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” "Virgin Galactic," “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto, and the discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K"). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are an aerospace and space travel company offering access to space for private individuals, researchers and government agencies. Our missions include flying passengers to space, as well as flying scientific payloads and researchers to space in order to conduct experiments for scientific and educational purposes. Our operations include the design and development, manufacturing, ground and flight testing, spaceflight operation, and post-flight maintenance of our spaceflight system. Our spaceflight system was developed using our proprietary technology and processes and is focused on providing space travel experiences for private astronauts, researcher flights and professional astronaut training. We have also leveraged our knowledge and expertise in manufacturing spaceships to occasionally perform engineering services for third parties. To expand capacity, we are currently developing our next-generation spaceflight vehicles. These next-generation spaceflight vehicles, which include our Delta Class spaceships and additional launch vehicles, are expected to dramatically increase our annual flight rate. In addition, we are exploring the opportunity to use a derivative model of our launch vehicle as a High-Altitude, Long-Endurance ("HALE") aircraft, which we believe could be utilized for several types of government and research purposes.
Recent Developments
The development of our new Delta Class spaceships is on track. We are progressing through our build milestones with key tools and materials continuing to arrive at our spaceship final assembly facility. With our new Delta Class spaceships, we expect to commence commercial service with our first research spaceflight anticipated in the summer of 2026 and the first private astronaut spaceflight anticipated in the fall of 2026.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in Part 1, Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K titled “Risk Factors.”
Customer Demand
We have already received significant interest from potential astronauts. Going forward, we expect the size of our backlog and the number of astronauts that have flown to space on our spaceflight system to be an important indicator of our future performance. Our sales remain paused, but we expect to open tranches of sales reservations in the first quarter of 2026 as we approach the start of commercial service. As of March 31, 2025, we have reservations for spaceflights for approximately 675 future astronauts, which represent approximately $189 million in expected future spaceflight revenue upon completion of the spaceflights.
Safety Performance of Our Spaceflight Systems
Our spaceflight systems are highly specialized with sophisticated and complex technology. We have built operational processes to ensure that the design, manufacture, performance and service of our spaceflight systems meet rigorous quality standards. However, our spaceflight systems are still subject to operational and process risks, such as manufacturing and design issues, human errors, or cyber-attacks. Any actual or perceived safety issues may result in significant reputational harm to our business and our ability to generate spaceflight revenue.

Research and development$33,310 $58,969 $(25,659)(44)%
Research and development expenses represent costs incurred to support activities that advance our future fleet towards commercialization, including basic research, applied research, concept formulation studies, design, development, and related testing activities. Research and development costs consist primarily of equipment, material, and labor costs (including from third-party contractors) for designing the spaceflight system’s structure, spaceflight propulsion system, and flight profiles for our next-generation spaceships and launch vehicles, as well as allocated facilities and other supporting overhead costs.
Research and development expenses decreased from $59.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $33.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a $17.6 million decrease in sub-contractor and contract labor costs associated with the development of our next generation spaceflight vehicles and an $8.6 million decrease in cash compensation and other employee benefit costs.

Selling, general and administrative$30,550 $27,884 $2,666 10 %
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and other employee benefit costs for employees involved in general corporate functions, including executive management and administration, accounting, finance, legal, information technology, sales and marketing, and human resources. Non-compensation components of selling, general and administrative expenses include accounting, legal and other professional fees, facilities expenses, and other corporate expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $27.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $30.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.1 million increase in legal costs and a $0.6 million increase in cash compensation and other employee benefit costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased from $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased average balances of marketable securities and deposits in interest-bearing accounts.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $3.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Interest expense primarily consisted of interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes.
Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. We have accumulated net operating losses at the U.S. federal and state levels. We maintain a full valuation allowance against our net U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. The income tax expense was primarily related to corporate income taxes for our operations in the United Kingdom, which operates on a cost-plus arrangement.

Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $29.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and consisted primarily of net cash proceeds from the sale and issuance of common stock pursuant to our at-the-market offering program.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and consisted primarily of net cash proceeds from the sale and issuance of common stock pursuant to our at-the-market offering program.
Funding Requirements
We expect our expenditures to fluctuate in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to advance the development of our next-generation spaceflight system and leverage investments in capital expenditures.
As our fleet of spaceships expands, we expect our expenditures to increase as we scale our commercial operations. Specifically, our long-term expenditures will increase as we:
scale up our manufacturing processes and capabilities to support expanding our fleet with additional spaceships, carrier aircraft and rocket motors in connection with commercialization;
22

Table of Contents
hire additional personnel in manufacturing operations, testing programs, maintenance operations and guest services as we increase the volume of our spaceflights; and
scale up required operational facilities, such as hangars and warehouses.
We expect our arrangements with third-party providers to manufacture key subassemblies for our next-generation spaceships and for the design and manufacture of our next-generation carrier aircraft will require significant capital expenditures. Certain estimated amounts in connection with third-party arrangements are subject to future negotiations and cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty.
We believe that our current capital is adequate to sustain our operations for at least the next twelve months. Changing circumstances may cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more money than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control. While we have completed our initial commercial launch with a single spaceship, we are currently developing our next-generation spaceflight vehicles. We anticipate the costs to manufacture additional vehicles will begin to decrease as we continue to scale up our manufacturing processes and capabilities.
Issuances of Common Stock
In June 2023, we entered into a distribution agency agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (each, an "Agent" and collectively, the "Agents") providing for the offer and sale of up to $400 million of shares of our common stock from time to time through the Agents, acting as sales agents, or directly to one or more of the Agents, acting as principal(s), through an "at-the-market offering" program (the "2023 ATM Program").
In November 2024, we terminated the 2023 ATM Program, having sold a total of 12.8 million shares of common stock and generating $396.2 million in gross proceeds, before deducting $3.9 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.
In November 2024, we entered into an open market sale agreement with Jefferies LLC ("Jefferies") providing for the offer and sale of up to $300 million of shares of our common stock from time to time through Jefferies, acting as sales agent, or directly to Jefferies, acting as principal, through an "at-the-market offering" program (the "2024 ATM Program").
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we sold 6.9 million shares of common stock under the 2024 ATM Program and generated $30.7 million in gross proceeds, before deducting $0.9 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.
As of March 31, 2025, we sold a total of 11.1 million shares of common stock under the 2024 ATM Program, generating $59.8 million in gross proceeds since its inception, before deducting $1.8 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.
Liquidity Outlook
For at least the next twelve months, we expect our principal demand for funds will be for our ongoing activities described above. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily through our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity available to fund our business needs, commitments and contractual obligations for the next twelve months.
Beyond the next twelve months, our principal demand for funds will be to sustain our operations, operate our spaceline at Spaceport America in New Mexico, and expand our fleet of spaceships, launch vehicles, and supporting facilities. We expect to generate revenue from our spaceflight program, which is expected to restart in 2026. To the extent this source of capital as well as sources of capital described above are insufficient to meet our needs, we may need to seek additional debt or equity financing.
The commercial launch of our spaceflight program and the anticipated expansion of our fleet have unpredictable costs and are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, that may affect the timing and magnitude of these anticipated expenditures. Some of these risk and uncertainties are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business.”

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Except as set forth in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations and commitments as described in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies referred to below have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and, therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates compared to those previously disclosed in "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" included in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other proceedings may involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties, and could result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions or relief. However, we do not consider any such claims, lawsuits or proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our future operating results, financial condition or cash flows. See Note 12 in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described as risk factors, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual operating results and financial condition to vary materially from past, or anticipated future, operating results and financial condition. For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1. “Business,” Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” and Part II, Item 7. “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part I, Item 2. “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K other than to update the Risk Factor below.
Changes to United States tariff and import/export regulations may have a negative effect on us.

While most of our suppliers and operations are located within the U.S., we cannot give assurance that we will not be negatively impacted by any of the following factors relating to tariffs and other trade-related policies that could depress economic activity and restrict our access to suppliers or customers in the future. The United States has enacted, and continues to consider, a range of trade-related measures, including tariffs, export controls, and other policies. The President of the United States has directed agencies to reassess key aspects of U.S. trade policy, and there has been ongoing debate and uncertainty surrounding potential changes to trade agreements, tariff structures, and foreign investment regulations. Shifts in trade policy—whether through legislation, executive action, or international negotiation—could alter the global trade landscape and affect supply chains, pricing, and demand for goods and services. These developments, or the perception that such changes may occur, have and could continue to have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, contribute to volatility in financial markets, and disrupt international trade, including trade between the U.S. and its key partners.

Item 5. Other Information
Ratification of Prior Shares Issued

On March 14, 2025, our board of directors (the “Board”) adopted resolutions (the “Resolutions”) approving the ratification of the issuance of 351,313 shares of common stock (the “Specified Shares”) that were sold pursuant to an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ATM Program”), which may constitute shares of putative stock pursuant to Section 204 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) (the “Ratification”). The issuance of such shares occurred between the dates of March 4, 2025 and March 6, 2025 and, due to the Specified Shares being sold to the public pursuant to the ATM Program at a price per share that was below the floor price that had been previously established by the Board, the Board determined that (i) the failure to obtain approval of the Board to sell the Specified Shares at such prices constituted a “failure of authorization” (as defined in Section 204(h) of the DGCL) causing a “defective corporate act” (as defined in Section 204(h) of the DGCL), and (ii) the Specified Shares constitute putative stock. Any claim that any defective corporate act or putative stock ratified pursuant to the Ratification is void or voidable due to the failure of authorization specified in the Resolutions, or that the Delaware Court of Chancery should declare in its discretion that the Ratification in accordance with Section 204 of the DGCL not be effective or be effective only on certain conditions, must be brought within 120 days from the giving of this notice (which is deemed given on the date that this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC).

10b5-1 Trading Plans
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, none of our officers or directors adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement."
