NextNav Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results and Operational Highlights

         FCC issues order granting consent to assignment of Lower 900MHz licenses to NextNav

         NextNav supports urgent call for NPRM with technical, economic, and operational analysis

 

RESTON, Va., August 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NextNav Inc. (NASDAQ: NN) a leader in next generation positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) and 3D geolocation, today reported its financial results and operational updates for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

 

“In the second quarter we continued to advance toward our goal of addressing one of our nation’s most critical infrastructure needs with a sense of urgency and purpose,” said Mariam Sorond, CEO of NextNav.  “We appreciate the FCC’s order granting consent to the assignment of the Telesaurus licenses, further enhancing our spectrum position and operational leadership in the Lower 900MHz band.  We substantiated with data and analysis the significant benefits and minimal costs of our proposal to optimize the Lower 900 MHz band. We look forward to continuing to support the FCC’s important work as we seek to enable a widescale, future-proof complement and backup to GPS as quickly as possible.”   

 

Operational Highlights

         On May 13, 2025, NextNav filed reply comments in response to the FCC’s Notice of Inquiry, Promoting the Development of PNT Technologies and Solutions, making the case for the FCC to promptly issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would enable a terrestrial complement and backup to GPS without the need for multibillion dollar taxpayer expenditures. The filing can be found here.

         On June 10, 2025, NextNav presented implementation and deployment details of our 5G-based PNT solution to FCC staff. Details can be found here.

         On June 20, 2025, the FCC issued an order granting consent to the assignment of 128 active M-LMS licenses to NextNav and waived an FCC rule that forbids one licensee from holding both an A-block license and a B- or C-block license in the same license area. The order can be found here.

         On June 24, 2025, NextNav’s CEO participated in an event focused on the urgent need for GPS resiliency, featuring distinguished Congressional, FCC, DoD and public safety representatives. Details of the event can be found here.

         On July 9, 2025, NextNav filed a supplemental technical study further validating the assumptions and conclusions in our February 2025 technical study, demonstrating that introducing 5G operations will not cause unacceptable interference to unlicensed Part 15 devices in the Lower 900 MHz band. The filing can be found here.

         On July 17, 2025, NextNav submitted an economic report prepared by the Brattle Group establishing that NextNav’s proposed optimization of the Lower 900 MHz band would impose minimal costs while generating substantial national benefits, potentially amounting to tens of billions of dollars. The filing can be found here.

         On August 1, 2025, NextNav filed a study with the FCC demonstrating that licensed tolling operations can coexist with 5G operations in the Lower 900 MHz band. The filing can be found here.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Financial Highlights

         Revenue: was $1.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.1 million in the prior year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, revenue was $2.7 million, compared to $2.2 million in the prior-year period. The increase in both three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in service revenue from technology and services contracts with government and commercial customers.

         Operating Loss: was $17.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $15.3 in the prior year period, primarily driven by increases in professional services, payroll-related expenses, non-recurring engineering services, and outside consulting expenses, partially offset by lower software license and cloud expenses. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating loss was $34.2 million, as compared to $31.5 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by increases in professional services, outside consulting expenses, and non-recurring engineering services, partially offset by lower software license and cloud expenses.

         Net Loss: was $63.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, including a loss on change in the fair value of derivative liability and warrants of $39.5 million, as compared to a net loss of $24.4 million in the prior year period, including a loss on the fair value of warrants of $8.5 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, net loss was $121.8 million, including a loss on the fair value of derivative liability and warrants of $58.0 million and debt extinguishment loss of $14.4 million as compared to a net loss of $56.0 million in the prior year period, including a loss on the fair value of warrants of $21.7 million.

         Balance Sheet: As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $58.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $117.2 million in short-term investments.  Net long-term debt of $246.3 million includes derivative liability of $93.8 million, and is net of unamortized discount of $37.5 million, with a face value of $190.0 million.
