    "2023 was an exceptional year for BlackSky; we delivered record revenues, our total bookings exceeded a quarter billion dollars, and we achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA of over 9 million dollars in Q4," said Brian E. O'Toole, BlackSky CEO. "Our success is the result of increasing global demand for our space-based intelligence solutions, strong operating leverage, and disciplined execution. The demand for our capabilities is exemplified by recent landmark contract wins supporting the Indonesian Ministry of Defense and expansion of a number of U.S. government contracts. These wins are anchored by our industry leading AI and software-first approach, which is redefining the way customers adopt space-based intelligence. The strong execution in 2023 sets us on a path toward long-term profitable growth and we look forward to carrying this momentum into 2024 and beyond."

    Financial Results

    Revenues

    Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $35.5 million, up $16.1 million, or 83%, from the fourth quarter of 2022. Imagery and software analytical services revenue was $19.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, up 18% over the prior year period, primarily driven by increased demand from new and existing U.S. and international government customers. Professional and engineering services revenue was $16.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, up 407% over the prior year period. The significant year-over-year increase was related to progress to date on the capabilities to be delivered under the new Indonesian contract, awarded in the fourth quarter. Professional and engineering services contracts are milestone-based contracts that may have quarter-over-quarter revenue variability, in contrast to the imagery and software analytical services, which are typically recurring subscription-based revenues.

    For the full year 2023, total revenue was $94.5 million, up $29.1 million, or 45%, from 2022. Imagery and software analytical services revenue was $65.4 million, up $18.0 million, or 38% over the prior year.

    Cost of Sales(1)

    Cost of sales as a percent of revenue improved to 34% for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 38% in the fourth quarter of 2022. Imagery and software analytical service costs as a percent of revenue improved to 17% in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 24% in the fourth quarter of 2022. The year-over-year improvement in imagery and software analytical service costs was primarily driven by greater volumes of revenue that inherently have a low fixed-cost structure as a percent of revenue.

    For the full year 2023, cost of sales as a percent of revenue improved to 36%, compared to 55% in 2022. Imagery and software analytical services cost of sales, as a percent of revenue, improved to 21%, compared to 31% in the prior year.

    Operating Expenses

    Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $28.2 million, which included $3.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $10.7 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $30.4 million, which included $3.3 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $9.5 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. Excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses from both years, cash operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $14.5 million compared to cash operating expenses of $17.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The year-over-year decrease of $3.1 million, or 18%, was primarily driven by reductions in general corporate costs, which more than offset investments in our go-to-market initiatives.

    For the full year 2023, operating expenses were $116.7 million, which included $10.1 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $43.4 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. For the full year 2022, operating expenses were $116.1 million, which included $18.1 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $35.7 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. Excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses from both years, cash operating expenses in 2023 were $63.2 million, essentially in-line with cash operating expenses of $62.3 million in 2022.

    Net Loss(2)

    Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $3.8 million, compared to a net loss of $14.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

    For the full year 2023, net loss was $53.9 million, compared to a net loss of $74.2 million in 2022.

    (1) Cost of sales is defined as imagery and software analytical services costs and professional and engineering services cost, less depreciation and amortization expense.

    (2) This represents our current estimate of net loss for the period ended December 31, 2023, which is subject to the completion of our financial closing procedures and adjustments that may result from the completion of the audit of our consolidated financial statements. As a result, this net loss estimate may differ from the actual net loss reported in our consolidated financial statements when they are completed and publicly disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Adjusted EBITDA(3)

    Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $9.3 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The $13.9 million year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by strong operating leverage achieved through higher revenues, improvement in gross margins, and reductions in operating expenses.

    For the full year 2023, the Adjusted EBITDA loss was $1.1 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $29.5 million in 2022. The $28.4 million year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by increased revenues and strong operating leverage in the business.

    Balance Sheet & Capital Expenditures

    As of December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments totaled $53.1 million. Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $7.8 million and for the full year 2023 totaled $43.7 million.

    2024 Outlook

    BlackSky expects full year 2024 revenue to be between $102 million and $118 million, full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA to be between $8 million and $16 million, and anticipates capital expenditures for the full year 2024 to be between $55 million and $65 million, primarily driven by investments in the Gen-3 satellites, which excludes vendor financed launch costs, that will be recorded on the balance sheet.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss attributable to BlackSky before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as significant non-cash and/or non-recurring expenses as our management believes these items are not as useful in evaluating the Company's core operating performance. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense, unrealized (gain) loss on certain warrants/shares classified as derivative liabilities, severance, impairment losses, income on equity method investment, investment loss on short-term investments, transaction costs associated with debt and equity financings, forgiveness of non-trade receivables, and gain from discontinued operations, net of income taxes.

    Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure. It should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the schedule herein and our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss, the most comparable measure reported in accordance with GAAP and for a discussion of the presentation, comparability, and use of Adjusted EBITDA.
