Virgin Galactic Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results And Provides Business Update

  • Successfully Completed Two Spaceflights in Two Months
  • Launched Commercial Service With ‘Galactic 01’ Scientific Research Mission; ‘Galactic 02' Mission Carrying Private Astronauts Planned for August 10, 2023
  • Delta Class Spaceships Designed to Scale the Business Remain on Track for Commercial Service in 2026

Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPCE) (“Virgin Galactic” or the "Company”) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 and provided a business update.

Michael Colglazier, Chief Executive Officer of Virgin Galactic said, “During the quarter, we successfully completed two spaceflights in two months, including the launch of commercial service in late June with a scientific research mission. Scheduled for next week, the ‘Galactic 02’ mission will deliver a transformational experience for our first private astronauts, and we expect to continue broadening access to space with monthly flights thereafter. Our financial position remains strong, and we remain focused on scaling the business and delivering our Delta Class spaceships for commercial service in 2026.”

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

  • Cash position remains strong, with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $980 million as of June 30, 2023, a sequential increase of $106 million from the first quarter of 2023.
  • Revenue of $2 million, compared to $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, driven by commercial spaceflight and membership fees related to future astronauts.
  • Net loss of $134 million, compared to a $111 million net loss in the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by an increase in research and development expenses related to the development of the future fleet.
  • GAAP research and development expenses of $87 million, compared to $62 million in the second quarter of 2022, with the increase primarily driven by investments related to the development of our future fleet. Non-GAAP research and development expenses of $84 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $59 million in the second quarter of 2022.
  • GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses of $51 million, compared to $45 million in the second quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses of $43 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $36 million in the second quarter of 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA totaled $(116) million, compared to $(93) million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by an increase in research and development expenses.
  • Net cash used in operating activities totaled $125 million, compared to $87 million in the second quarter of 2022.
  • Cash paid for capital expenditures totaled $10 million, compared to $5 million in the second quarter of 2022.
  • Free cash flow totaled $(135) million, compared to $(91) million in the second quarter of 2022.
  • Generated $241 million in gross proceeds through the issuance of 55 million shares of common stock as part of the Company's at-the-market offering programs.

Recent Updates

  • On July 13, 2023, the Company announced a planned launch date of August 10, 2023 for the ‘Galactic 02’ mission.
  • On June 29, 2023, the Company completed its inaugural commercial spaceflight, ‘Galactic 01,' that carried 13 research payloads and three crew members from the Italian Air Force and the National Research Council of Italy.
  • On May 25, 2023, the Company completed the ‘Unity 25’ mission to space that carried four Virgin Galactic mission specialists to evaluate the end-to-end astronaut training and spaceflight experience prior to commencing commercial operations.
  • On June 22, 2023, the Company established a new at-the-market offering program to sell up to $400 million of the Company’s common stock. Through June 30, 2023, the Company generated $77 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of 17 million shares of common stock under this program.

Financial Guidance

The following forward-looking statements reflect our expectations for the second quarter and fiscal year 2023 as of August 1, 2023 and are subject to substantial uncertainty. Our results are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date, but may be materially affected by many factors, as discussed below in “Forward-Looking Statements.”

  • Revenue for each of the third and fourth quarter of 2023 is expected to be approximately $1M.
  • Free cash flow for each of the third and fourth quarter of 2023 is expected to be in the range of $(120) million to $(130) million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the Company's results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), the Company is also providing certain non-GAAP financial measures. A discussion regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of such measures to the most directly comparable GAAP information is presented later in this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release references certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), including Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses and free cash flow. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and certain other items the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating performance. The Company defines non-GAAP research and development expenses as research and development expenses other than stock-based compensation and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses as selling, general and administrative expenses other than stock-based compensation. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. None of these non-GAAP financial measures is a substitute for or superior to measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational-decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
