Intuitive Machines Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results; Provides 2024 Revenue Outlook

  • Delivered NASA and commercial payloads to the Moon further south than any vehicle in history, marking the United States’ first lunar landing in over 50 years, on February 22, 2024
  • Achieved record revenues in the quarter; $73.1 million, an increase of over 300% versus prior year
  • Continued positive gross margin momentum; $12.2 million in the quarter driven by IM-1 mission success milestone payments from NASA and commercial customers
  • Disciplined cash management; $6.4 million cash used from operations in the quarter, a reduction of $12.2 million versus prior year
  • Ended the quarter with a cash balance of $55.2 million, the largest balance relative to any quarter-end since the Company’s inception
  • Awarded $30 million for NASA’s Lunar Terrain Vehicle (“LTV”) contract to support the agency’s Artemis Campaign as a prime contractor within NASA’s $4.6 billion LTV Services project

HOUSTON, May 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intuitive Machines, Inc. (Nasdaq: LUNR, “Intuitive Machines,” or the “Company”), a leading space exploration, infrastructure, and services company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus said, “We had an excellent start to the year, anchored by our successful IM-1 mission and a full quarter of OMES III operations. Revenue was over $73 million in the quarter, an increase of over 300% versus Q1 of last year and the highest quarter since the Company’s inception. This was yet another historic feat for us and showcases our continued growth trajectory.”

Mr. Altemus continued, “On April 3rd, we announced Intuitive Machines’ Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) services award, which moves us beyond the delivery of science and discovery payloads and onto heavier cargo delivery and surface systems development and operations. The LTV delivery system, the rover design itself, and both the autonomous and crewed operations represent the first critical piece of infrastructure for the Artemis campaign.”

2024 Outlook

  • Expect full-year 2024 revenue of $200 - $240 million, resulting in 2.5x - 3x prior year sales
  • Q1 ending cash balance expected to be sufficient to fund operations through the end of the year
  • Continue to add cash reserves based on projected wins and planned operations to execute growth trajectory
  • Backlog expansion driven by key upcoming awards; Near Space Network Services (NSNS), the next Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) award, among others
  • IM-2 mission to the Moon’s south pole Shackleton connecting ridge planned for late 2024

First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Contracted backlog of $222.4 million as of the end of the first quarter
  • First quarter 2024 revenue of $73.1 million, an increase of 301% year-over-year, driven primarily by OMES III and NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative contracts, compared to $18.2 million in the prior year period
  • First quarter 2024 operating loss of $(5.4) million, driven primarily by IM-1 mission success milestone payments from NASA and commercial customers versus $(14.0) million in the prior year period
  • Ending cash balance of $55.2 million as of the end of the first quarter which includes warrant exercises from an institutional investor

Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and constitute “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by the SEC. This includes adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management team uses to assess the Company’s operating performance and is calculated as net income (loss) excluding results from non-operating sources including interest income, interest expense, gain on extinguishing of debt, share-based compensation, change in fair value instruments, gain or loss on issuance of securities, other income/expense, depreciation, and provision for income taxes. Intuitive Machines has included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in the Company’s operating results and because it is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical measure, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Other companies, including companies in Intuitive Machines’ industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included below under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”

We define free cash flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations that, after purchases of property and equipment, can be used for strategic initiatives, including continuous investment in our business and strengthening our balance sheet. Free Cash Flow has limitations as a liquidity measure, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Free Cash Flow is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP; Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences among methods of calculation; and Free Cash Flow may be affected in the near to medium term by the timing of capital investments, fluctuations in our growth and the effect of such fluctuations on working capital and changes in our cash conversion cycle. A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included below under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”

The Company has also included contracted backlog, which is defined as the total estimate of the revenue the Company expects to realize in the future as a result of performing work on awarded contracts, less the amount of revenue the Company has previously recognized. Intuitive Machines monitors its backlog because we believe it is a forward-looking indicator of potential sales which can be helpful to investors in evaluating the performance of its business and identifying trends over time.

Free Cash Flow

We define free cash flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations that, after purchases of property and equipment, can be used for strategic initiatives, including continuous investment in our business and strengthening our balance sheet.

Free Cash Flow has limitations as a liquidity measure, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • Free Cash Flow is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
  • Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences among methods of calculation.
  • Free Cash Flow may be affected in the near to medium term by the timing of capital investments, fluctuations in our growth and the effect of such fluctuations on working capital and changes in our cash conversion cycle.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash used in operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, to free cash flow:

The following table presents our backlog as of the periods indicated:

(in thousands) March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Backlog $222,380 $268,566


Backlog decreased by $46.2 million as of March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023, primarily due to continued performance on existing contracts of $73.1 million and decreases related to contract value adjustments of $10.7 million primarily related to various certain fixed price contracts and task order adjustments on the OMES III contract. The decrease was slightly offset by $37.6 million in new awards primarily associated with favorable backlog adjustments to the IM-2 and IM-3 missions associated with unapproved task order modifications.
