Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intuitive Machines, Lanteris Space Holdings LLC (“Lanteris”), KinetX Inc. (“KinetX”), Space Network Solutions, LLC (“SNS” or “Space Network Solutions”) a majority-owned subsidiary, and IX, LLC, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 19, 2026. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. Management’s opinion is that all adjustments for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made, and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature or a description of the nature and amount of any adjustments other than normal recurring adjustments have been appropriately disclosed.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The Company reclassed certain prior period amounts to a separate line item in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statement of operations. These reclassifications did not result in any changes to previously reported net income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, other factors, including the current economic environment, and various other judgments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future reporting periods.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. While the Company engages in manufacturing, mission services, and related activities, these operations are highly integrated and are not managed or evaluated separately by the CODM. The Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment and one reportable segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. See Note 21 - Segment Information for additional disclosures on segment reporting.
Concentration of Credit Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. By their nature, all such financial instruments involve risks, including the credit risk of nonperformance by counterparties.

The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at major financial institutions. Certain account balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits of $250,000 per account. The Company generally does not require collateral to support the obligations of the counterparties and cash levels held at banks are more than federally insured limits. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by maintaining its cash and cash equivalents with highly rated financial institutions. The Company has not experienced material losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.
The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its customers to whom it grants credit terms in the normal course of its business. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on known collection risks and historical experience. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company (e.g., bankruptcy filings, substantial downgrading of credit ratings), the Company records a specific allowance for expected credit losses against amounts to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected and revenue recognition is deferred until the amount is collected and the contract is completed. For all other customers, the Company records allowances for credit losses based on the specific analysis of the customer’s ability to pay on an as needed basis.
Major customers are defined as those individually comprising more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. There were four major customer that accounted for 36%, 26%, 13%, and 13% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and there was one major customer that accounted for 78% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, there were four major customers that accounted for 37%, 12%, 19%, and 14% of the accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2026 and there was three major customer that accounted for 49%, 23%, and 11% of the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2025.
Major suppliers are defined as those individually comprising more than 10% of the annual goods or services purchased. There was one major supplier that accounted for 11% the goods and services we purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and there was no major supplier that accounted for more than 10% of the goods and services purchased during three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was one major supplier that accounted for 19% and 11% of the accounts payable balance, respectively.

Trade and other receivables, net
Trade and other receivables include amounts billed to customers, unbilled receivables in which the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional and current portion of orbital receivables, net of allowance for expected credit losses. The Company bills customers as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals, upon achievement of contractual milestones or upon deliveries. The Company estimates allowance for credit losses based on the credit worthiness of each customer, historical collections experience and other information, including the aging of the receivables. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for credit losses when a balance is unlikely to be collected.

Orbital Receivables
Orbital receivables relate to performance incentives due under certain satellite construction contracts that are paid over the in-orbit life of the satellite. Orbital receivables are recognized as revenue when measuring progress under the cost-to-cost method during the construction period. The interest portion of the in-orbit payments is recognized as orbital revenue and included in product revenue in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Current orbital receivables are included in trade and other receivables, net and the long-term portion of orbital receivables, net is disclosed in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 - Trade and Other Receivables, net for additional information on the orbital receivables.

The Company records an allowance on its orbital receivables when, based on current events and circumstances, it believes it is probable the outstanding amounts will not be collected. The Company utilizes customer credit ratings, expected credit loss and other credit quality indicators, as well as contractual terms to evaluate the collectability of orbital receivables. When qualitative factors indicate that all or a portion of an outstanding orbital receivable is uncollectable, or that all or a portion of an outstanding orbital receivable previously deemed uncollectable is collectable, a fair value assessment is performed using a discounted cash flow model as an indicator to determine whether an increase or decrease in the allowance is necessary. Increases and decreases in the orbital receivables allowance are included in (gain) loss on orbital receivables allowance in the product revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

If the Company does not fulfill its performance obligation associated with its orbital receivables, a write-off of those orbital receivables will occur resulting in a reduction in the contractual value and revenue recognition associated with the performance obligation. The Company has a revolving securitization facility agreement with an international financial institution. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may offer to sell eligible orbital receivables from time to time with terms of five years or less, discounted to face value using effective interest rates.

The orbital receivables that have been securitized remain recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the Company does not meet the accounting criteria for surrendering control of the receivables. The net proceeds received on the orbital receivables have been recognized as securitization liabilities and are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method. Securitization liabilities are presented in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The securitized orbital receivables and the securitization liabilities are being drawn down as payments are received from the customers and passed on to the purchaser of the tranche. The Company continues to recognize orbital revenue on the orbital receivables that are subject to the securitization transactions and recognizes interest expense to accrete the securitization liability.

Inventory
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value and consist primarily of parts and sub-assemblies used in the manufacturing of satellites. The cost of inventories is determined on a first-in-first-out basis or weighted average cost basis, depending on the nature of the inventory. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expense. Inventory is impaired when it is probable inventory values exceed their net realizable value.
Transaction Costs
Business Acquisitions
Transaction costs consists of direct legal, consulting, audit and other fees related to the business acquisition of Lanteris as further described herein in Note 3 - Acquisitions. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, transaction costs incurred related to acquisitions totaled approximately $20.0 million and was recorded to general and administrative expenses in our statement of operations.
Issuance of Securities
Transaction costs related to various agreements for the issuance of securities (as further described in Note 12), includes direct legal, broker, accounting and other fees. Transaction costs related to these activities totaled approximately $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and were netted against the proceeds recorded in additional paid in capital.

Warranty and After-Sale Service Costs
Warranty and after-sale service provisions are based on management’s best estimate of the expected obligation using historical warranty data and experience. In connection with our acquisition of Lanteris (as further discussed in Note 3 - Acquisitions), we assumed warranty and after-sale service liabilities which are presented in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Warranty and after-sale service costs are recognized within cost of product revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The current and non-current portions of the warranty and after-sale service liabilities totaled $11.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and $13.3 million as of January 13, 2026, the acquisition date of Lanteris, with the $1.6 million change attributable to payments and uses of the warranty.

Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
The Company assumed defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans for certain employees associated with the recent Lanteris acquisition. Pension and postretirement obligation balances and related costs reflected within the condensed consolidated financial statements include costs directly attributable to plans dedicated to the Company. The pension and other postretirement plan benefits were frozen on December 31, 2013. See Note 15 - Employee Benefit Plans for additional information on the defined benefit and other postretirement plans and Note 3 - Acquisitions for more information on the acquisition of Lanteris.

The Company recognizes the funded status of each pension and other postretirement benefit plan in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The calculation of pension and other postretirement benefit obligations is performed annually by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method. The projected benefit obligation is the sum of the actuarial present value of all pension benefits attributed to benefit service completed to the determination date.

Pension and other postretirement plan liabilities are revalued annually, or when an event occurs that requires remeasurement, based on updated assumptions and information about the individuals covered by the plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of the pension and other postretirement benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of associated plan assets.
The Company uses the net asset value (“NAV”) practical expedient to measure the fair value of the plan’s commingled fund investments. These commingled fund investments for which the fair value is measured using the NAV practical expedient are excluded from the fair value hierarchy.

The Company recognizes the amortization of prior service costs as a component of general and administrative expense. All other costs, including administrative expenses related to frozen plans, are recognized within other income (expense), net. When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in the net benefit liability that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company recognizes gains or losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when settlement occurs.

For the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans, accumulated actuarial gains and losses in excess of a 10 percent corridor and the prior service cost are amortized on a straight-line basis from the date recognized over the average remaining service period of active participants or over the average life expectancy for plans with significant inactive participants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and related notes were prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $231.6 million and working capital of $89.8 million. The Company invests excess cash in highly liquid, low risk interest-bearing overnight sweep and demand deposit accounts with major financial institutions. The Company has historically funded its operations through internally generated cash on hand, proceeds from sales of its capital stock, proceeds from warrant exercises, and proceeds from the issuance of bank debt.
On January 13, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Lanteris Space Holdings LLC (“Lanteris”), formerly Maxar Space Systems, a spacecraft manufacturer, from Advent International LLC. The aggregate consideration transferred at the closing of the acquisition was $851.0 million, consisting of $403.3 million in cash plus $43.7 million of transaction bonuses deemed to be part of consideration and the issuance of 22,991,028 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock valued at $404.0 million based on the acquisition date closing stock price of $17.57. The Company funded the cash consideration using cash on hand. See Note 3 - Acquisitions for more information on the acquisition of Lanteris.
On February 27, 2026, the Company completed the issuance and sale to certain institutional investors or their affiliates (collectively, the “Investors”) of 11,574,069 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a price of $15.12 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $175.0 million pursuant to the terms of a definitive securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), and incurred related transaction costs of $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Refer to Note 12 for additional information on this issuance.

Management believes that the cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 and the liquidity provided the proceeds of the issuance of securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Convertible Notes (defined in Note 10 - Debt), will be sufficient to fund the short-term liquidity needs and the execution of the business plan through at least the twelve-month period from the date the financial statements are issued.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve the disclosures of expenses by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The standard can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether to account for certain early settlements of convertible debt instruments as induced conversions or extinguishments. The standard is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The standard can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Management does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which changes how companies determine the accounting acquirer in certain business combinations involving variable interest entities. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The standard can be adopted early and must be applied prospectively to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. The Company decided to early adopt this standard as of January 1, 2026, and applied the new guidance when analyzing the acquisition.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets which provides all entities a practical expedient option when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, including those assets acquired in a transaction accounted for under Topic 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted the amendments as of January 1, 2026, with no material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

The guidance requires recognition of grants when it is probable that the entity will comply with the related conditions and that the grant will be received. Asset-related grants may be recorded as deferred income or as a reduction of the related asset, while income-related grants are recognized in earnings over the periods in which the related costs are incurred. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
