JOINT VENTURE JOINT VENTURE
The Company is a partial owner of a joint venture company, Starlab Space LLC (“Starlab JV”), which began operating on April 12, 2024 when the Space Act Agreement (“SAA”) was novated with National Aeronautical and Space Administration (“NASA”). Through the SAA, the Company will receive financial assistance through Government grants for certain eligible expenses to design, build and maintain a commercial space station.
As described within Note 8, “Debt”, on April 8, 2025, the Company contributed an additional $15.0 million into Starlab JV through Voyager Ventures, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of this qualified financing event, in April 2025, the 2024 Convertible Notes converted into Starlab JV equity held by passive equity members. In the second quarter of 2025, Voyager Ventures, LLC, contributed another $35.0 million into the Starlab JV. As of September 30, 2025, the Company's ownership stake is 64.4%.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entity
The Company evaluated its interests in Starlab JV and determined that it has a variable interest as of September 30, 2025. Due to the Company’s obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) along with the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact Starlab JV’s economic performance (including control over three of the five seats on the Board of Directors at Starlab JV), the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary and is therefore consolidating the Starlab JV.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the performance of the Starlab JV VIE with the Company being the primary beneficiary of the VIE and having incremental power over the Starlab JV. The Company meets the power and economic criteria for consolidation of the VIE. The Starlab JV is considered a business and therefore no gain or loss was recognized by the Company upon the initial consolidation of the VIE.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities of the Starlab JV included in the Company’s unaudited balance sheet, separated by major asset and liability class. These assets can only be used to settle obligations of Starlab JV, and the Company does not have recourse to the liabilities. Creditors of Starlab JV do not have recourse to the Company.
