Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment was $90 and $125 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $203 and $242 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we retired property and equipment of $45 and $55, respectively. Refer to Note 4 for information regarding impairment charges recorded on our property and equipment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
We capitalize a portion of the interest on funds borrowed to finance the construction and launch of our satellites. Capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset’s cost and depreciated over the satellite’s useful life. Capitalized interest costs were $6 for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and $13 and $12 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which related to the construction of our SXM-9 satellite, which launched in December 2024, and our SXM-10, SXM-11 and SXM-12 satellites. We also capitalize a portion of share-based compensation related to employee time for capitalized software projects. Capitalized share-based compensation costs were $11 and $6 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $20 and $11 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Satellites
As of June 30, 2025, we operated a fleet of five satellites.  Each satellite requires an FCC license, and prior to the expiration of each license, we are required to apply for a renewal of the FCC satellite license.  The renewal and extension of our licenses is reasonably certain at minimal cost, which is expensed as incurred. The chart below provides certain information on our satellites as of June 30, 2025:

(a)We filed an application with the FCC to extend the license for our SIRIUS FM-5 satellite on July 7, 2025 and expect it to be granted routinely.
On June 7, 2025, our SXM-10 satellite was successfully launched into orbit and completed in-orbit testing on July 14, 2025.
On January 29, 2025, our SXM-9 satellite successfully completed in-orbit testing and was placed into service. Our SXM-9 satellite replaced our SXM-8 satellite in the XM constellation, with SXM-8 becoming an in-orbit spare. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we removed our XM-3 satellite from service and are in the process of de-orbiting the satellite, which we expect to be completed by the end of 2025.
