“During the second quarter of 2024, we achieved a major
milestone with the successful commissioning of our first LizzieSat™

Mission in March. Following this critical phase, we began
activating payloads and accomplished the primary objectives of
several LS-1 missions. As the first commercial satellite designed,
manufactured and operated entirely by Sidus, LS-1 has demonstrated
our vertical integration capabilities and our experience in
deploying and operating our satellite equipped with multiple
technologies that serve a diverse range of applications and
customers,” said Carol Craig, Founder and CEO of Sidus Space. “This
accomplishment marks a significant step forward in our strategy to
establish Sidus as a leader in the Space ecosystem. Our Space-based
Data-as-a-Service business model, enabled by the LizzieSat™
constellation, is primed to scale rapidly, driving high-margin
revenue as we prepare for the launches of LizzieSat™ 2 and 3 with
SpaceX,” Ms. Craig concluded.

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter Ending June 30,
2024:
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled
approximately $3.1 million, a $500,000 decrease from $3.6 million
in Q2 2023, largely due to a reduction in payroll related expenses
directly related to building our satellites which were reclassed to
fixed asset as well as a reduction in professional fees and
insurance expense.
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, totaled
approximately $930,000, a decrease of $440,000 compared to total
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was
primarily driven by the timing of fixed price manufacturing
milestones and delays in satellite contract payments, which are
expected to recover in the second half of the year.
Cost of revenue increased 105% to approximately $1.8 million, up
from $860,000 in Q2 2023. The percent change in the cost of revenue
was higher than the percent decrease in revenue due to a mix of
contracts with higher material expenses vice labor, shifts in
milestone payments for our higher margin satellite related business
and higher depreciation costs associated with the monthly
depreciation of our first satellite asset deployed March 2024.
The gross profit margin decreased to negative (91%), compared to
37% in Q2 2023, mainly due to lower satellite related revenue
versus prior year due in large part by the timing of satellite
related payments and fixed price milestone contracts in the first
half of 2024 and higher costs related to the depreciation of our
first satellite asset.
Adjusted EBITDA loss, a non-GAAP measure for the three months
ended June 30, 2024 was $3.2 million, compared to $2.8 million for
the same period the prior year. Total non-GAAP adjustments for
interest expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition deal
costs, severance costs, capital markets and advisory fees,
equity-based compensation, and warrant costs are provided in the
reconciliation table listed below.
Net Loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $4.1
million, compared to a net loss of $3.5 million in the same quarter
of 2023.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
To provide investors with additional information in connection
with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP, we use
non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA. We use adjusted EBITDA in
order to evaluate our operating performance and make strategic
decisions regarding future direction of the company since it
provides a meaningful comparison to our peers using similar
measures. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (as determined by
U.S. GAAP) adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and
amortization expense, acquisition deal costs, severance costs,
capital market and advisory fees, equity-based compensation and
warrant costs. These non-GAAP measures may be different from
non-GAAP measures made by other companies since not all companies
will use the same measures. Therefore, these non-GAAP measures
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with
information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis.
The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to net loss (the
most comparable GAAP measure) for the three months ended June 30,
2024 and 2023:
