Spire Global Announces Second Quarter 2026 Results; Reaffirms Full-Year Revenue Guidance
●
Second quarter 2026 revenue was $18.0 million, down 6% year-over-year, and up 16% excluding the maritime business.(1) Revenue improved 14% sequentially in second quarter 2026. Excluding the maritime business, revenue improved 19% sequentially.
●
Net loss of $20.0 million in second quarter 2026 compared to prior year net income of $119.6 million. Adjusting prior year net income for $154.3 million gain on sale of business and $12.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt, second quarter net loss improved 12% year-over-year.
●
Adjusted EBITDA(1) of ($8.6) million in second quarter 2026 improved 16% compared to prior year adjusted EBITDA of ($10.2) million. Sequentially, adjusted EBITDA improved 15% in second quarter 2026.
VIENNA, VA, August 12, 2026 – Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (“Spire” or the “Company”), a global provider of satellite data, analytics and intelligence, announced results for its quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Company will hold a webcast at 5:00 p.m. ET today to discuss the results.
“The role of commercial space is changing,” said Theresa Condor, Spire CEO. “Governments and businesses are looking for trusted partners that can deliver operational capabilities at scale - today. We've spent years building the technology, expertise and strategic partnerships needed to meet this moment, and the progress we've made this quarter reinforces our confidence in those opportunities ahead."
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights
Financial:
●
Second quarter 2026 GAAP revenue was $18.0 million, reflecting a 6% year-over-year decrease primarily associated with selling the maritime business at the end of April 2025. Excluding the maritime business, revenue increased 16% on a year-over-year basis and 19% sequentially. The second quarter increase was primarily driven by higher delivery of space services data and increased radio-frequency geolocation (RFGL) data purchases.
●
Second quarter 2026 GAAP gross margin declined 16 percentage points year-over-year to 34%, and non-GAAP gross margin(1) declined 14 percentage points year-over-year to 38%. Second quarter 2026 GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin declined primarily as a result of impacts associated with the WildFireSat contract, which was cancelled for convenience in the second quarter.
●
Net loss of $20.0 million in second quarter 2026 compared to prior year net income of $119.6 million. Adjusting prior year net income for $154.3 million gain on sale of business and $12.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt, second quarter net loss improved 12% year-over-year.
●
Adjusted EBITDA(1) of ($8.6) million in second quarter 2026 improved 16% compared to prior year adjusted EBITDA of ($10.2) million, primarily driven by lower operating expenses. Sequentially, adjusted EBITDA improved 15%.
●
Second quarter 2026 cash flow used in operations was $23.4 million, reflecting a 32% year-over-year improvement and a 11% sequential improvement. Cash usage in the second quarter reflected lower operating expenses. Cash flow used in operations is expected to continue to improve sequentially in third quarter and fourth quarter 2026. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of June 30, 2026 were $91.7 million. Spire continues to maintain a debt-free balance sheet.
1 Non-GAAP Financial Measure, please see section titled Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the definition of such measures and the reconciliation tables at the end of this release for reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Business:
●
During the second quarter of 2026, Spire announced strategic partnerships with Schaeffler and Diehl Defence, strengthening its long-term positioning within the European space ecosystem. The collaboration with Schaeffler brings together the company's precision engineering and manufacturing scale with Spire's proven satellite platform expertise and extensive flight heritage, with the shared intent of building a European space hardware and mission business before the end of this decade. Likewise, Spire's agreement with Diehl Defence combines Diehl Defence's expertise in air defense systems with Spire's long-standing experience in building and operating satellite constellations to support German and European defense initiatives.
●
In the second quarter of 2026, Spire continued to build momentum across its RFGL business by signing four new international RFGL customers.
●
In July 2026, Spire launched 10 satellites, bringing the total number of satellites launched during 2026 to twenty-nine. This pace of deployment reflects both the maturity of our manufacturing organization and the operational discipline built over many years.
●
In July 2026, Spire achieved a milestone in its Optical Inter-Satellite Link (O-ISL) program, successfully establishing a cross-plane laser connection between two O-ISL equipped satellites. This is the first time Spire has demonstrated a cross-plane connection, which builds on the Company's previous in-plane demonstrations. The satellites maintained a stable laser connection for over 5 minutes across a distance of approximately 5,000 kilometers - roughly the distance between New York City and London - while traveling at approximately 28,000 kilometers per hour. This technology allows satellites to communicate directly with one another in orbit via laser, enabling faster and more secure data transfer while reducing dependence on ground station proximity.
Financial Outlook
In 2025, Spire recognized revenue of $21.0 million for its maritime business. The majority of the maritime business was divested in April 2025. Spire is providing 2026 revenue, excluding maritime revenue, for comparative purposes. Based on the midpoint of its 2026 guidance, Spire expects 2026 revenue, excluding maritime revenue, to grow at over 50% from 2025. Spire is providing the following guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2026:

Non-GAAP operating loss, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP loss per share included in the table above are non-GAAP measures. Please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for the definition of such measures. Spire has provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the tables included in this press release for its second quarter and full year 2025 and 2026, as well as its outlook for such measures for the full year 2026.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, this press release and the accompanying tables contain non-GAAP financial measures, including free cash flow, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margins, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating loss/income, non-GAAP operating margin, EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss/income, and non-GAAP net loss/income per share. Spire’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, in evaluating its ongoing operational performance and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to help investors understand the operational performance of their businesses. However, it is important to note that the particular items Spire excludes from, or includes in, its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry. In addition, other companies may utilize metrics that are not similar to Spire’s. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. There are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures since they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Spire’s financial statements. Investors should note that the excluded items may have had, and may in the future have, a material impact on our reported financial results. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results. Management encourages investors and others to review Spire’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
Spire adjusts the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP financial measures:
Change in fair value of contingent earnout liabilities and warrant liabilities. Spire excludes these non-cash gains and losses because they do not reflect the underlying operating performance of the business.
Foreign exchange (gain)/loss. Spire incurs foreign currency gains and losses on foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. As Spire does not hedge these currency exposures, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses result from fluctuations in exchange rates. Since such gains and losses are driven by macroeconomic factors and can vary significantly between periods, Spire believes their exclusion is useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of its ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis.
Other (income) expense, net. Spire excludes other expense, net because it includes non-operating items and other gains and losses that are not reflective of its core operating performance and may fluctuate between periods, such as debt prepayment penalties, legal settlements, equity investment losses, and gains or losses on asset disposals.
Stock-based compensation. Spire excludes these expenses primarily because they are non-cash charges used when we assess operating expenses and budgeting. Moreover, because of varying valuation methodologies and the award types under ASC Topic 718, Spire believes excluding stock-based compensation expenses allows investors to better compare our recurring core business results of operations and those of other companies.
Loss on decommissioned satellites and other assets write-offs. Spire excludes these charges because they represent the accelerated write-off of assets that would otherwise be accounted for as depreciation and would be excluded as part of our EBITDA calculation.
Other unusual and infrequent costs. Spire excludes these items because they are not reflective of its ongoing operating results. Examples include certain legal, accounting, and other professional fees associated with matters such as the Maritime Transaction, the SEC subpoena received in July 2025, and a Space Services customer dispute and liquidated damages associated with the 2025 Private Placement.
Other acquisition accounting amortization. Spire excludes non-cash amortization of purchased data rights and certain purchased technologies as these expenses are the result of acquisition accounting and are not indicative of its core operating performance.
Our additional non-GAAP measures include:
Free Cash Flow. Spire defines free cash flow as net cash provided by/used in operating activities less purchases of property and equipment.
EBITDA. Spire defines EBITDA as net income (loss), plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus interest expense, and plus the provision for (or minus benefit from) income taxes.
Adjusted EBITDA. Spire defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for any gain on sale of a business, loss on extinguishment of debt, change in fair value of contingent earnout liability, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, issuance of stock warrants, foreign exchange (gain) loss, other (income) expense, net, stock-based compensation, mergers and acquisition related expenses, loss on decommissioned satellites and other assets write-offs, other unusual and infrequent costs, and other acquisition accounting amortization. Spire believes Adjusted EBITDA can be useful in providing an understanding of the underlying results of operations and trends, an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. While Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under GAAP, management uses this financial measure to evaluate and forecast business performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net loss as it does not take into account certain requirements, such as capital expenditures and related depreciation, interest payments, tax benefits, stock-based compensation, other unusual and infrequent costs, and other acquisition accounting amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and Spire’s use of the term Adjusted EBITDA may vary from the use of similarly titled measures by others in our industry due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation.
Additional non-GAAP measures utilized by Spire incorporate the adjustments described in the reconciliation tables below.
Conference Call
Spire will webcast a conference call to discuss the results at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time today. The webcast will be available on Spire’s Investor Relations website at ir.spire.com. A replay of the call will be available on the site for six months.
