MEDIA RELEASE
Exhibit 99.1
Rocket Lab Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial Results: Surpasses All Guidance Metrics Including Revenue, Margin, and Adjusted EDITDA; Posts Record $200M Quarterly Revenue and over $2.2B Backlog; Guides Another Record Revenue
Long Beach, California. May 7, 2026 – Rocket Lab Corporation (Nasdaq: RKLB), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today shared the financial results for fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
“Rocket Lab has delivered another exceptional quarter with record financial performance of more than $200 million in revenue, consistent execution across launch and space systems programs, a record number of significant new contracts signed, and strategic acquisitions secured. We exited the quarter with $2.2 billion in backlog and currently have access to more than $2 billion in liquidity, putting us in a very strong position for continued growth and M&A execution.
“Rocket Lab continues to lead on execution and growth. We completed successful orbital launches and hypersonic test missions, introduced new space systems products including the highly sought after Gauss satellite electric propulsion system, have been selected to support the Department of War’s Space Based Interceptor program under Golden Dome for America in partnership with Raytheon, and expanded our leading role in hypersonic test launch with a record contract under the MACH-TB program. We also closed the Mynaric acquisition to establish our first European footprint with Rocket Lab Europe, and entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Motiv, adding Mars-proven robotics heritage to our suite of capabilities, while also insourcing costly and supply-constrained spacecraft components, including solar array drive assemblies and other precision mechanisms and motion control systems. Rocket Lab’s tailwinds are strong. We’re already embedded in the most demanding and significant space programs of our generation and we’re in an incredibly strong position to continue expanding this.”
Highlights for the First Quarter 2026, plus business updates since March 31, 2026.
•Record quarterly revenue of $200.3M, a 63.5% increase YoY
•Record GAAP gross margin of 38.2%
•Record backlog of $2.2B, up 20.2% QoQ
•Record liquidity following completion of at-the-market offering, with access to more than $2 billion in total liquidity strongly positioning the Company for further organic growth and M&A execution
•Record new launch contracts, with 31 new Electron and HASTE contracts signed in Q1, plus five new dedicated Neutron launches signed. Rocket Lab has now sold more launches in Q1 2026 than in the full year 2025, demonstrating strong continued demand and growth for the Company’s extensive launch capabilities. Rocket Lab’s total launch manifest now exceeds 70 contracted missions.
•Completed the acquisition of Mynaric AG, a leading provider of laser optical communications terminals for air, space, and mobile applications which further strengthens Rocket Lab’s extensive capabilities as a supplier of satellite components at scale to the global space market.
•Signed a definitive agreement to acquire Motiv Space Systems, a leader in space robotics, motion control systems, and precision mechanisms for spacecraft. The acquisition will achieve two strategic objectives for Rocket Lab: add Mars-proven robotics capability for advanced planetary and national security missions, and closes a critical gap in Rocket Lab’s vertical integration strategy by bringing in-house costly and supply-constrained satellite components like solar array drive assemblies (SADAs) and other precision mechanisms.

MEDIA RELEASE
•Selected to directly support the Department of War’s Space Based Interceptor (SBI) program, a critical element of President Trump’s Golden Dome for America, in partnership with Raytheon and others selected for the program. Rocket Lab’s launch and satellite capabilities are both being utilized for SBI, demonstrating the value of the Company’s agile and cost-effective end-to-end space capabilities for the warfighter and positioning the Company to capture significant revenue from what could become the U.S. government’s most important national security program.
•Introduced Gauss, a new electric satellite thruster designed for high-volume production to meet the growing demand for reliable satellite propulsion across commercial and national security constellations.
•Achieved significant milestones across the Neutron program with ongoing integration and readiness of first-flight hardware, continued progress on Archimedes engine qualification, and advancement of the second stage and reusable fairing systems, positioning the medium-lift launch vehicle on track for its debut launch later this year.
Second Quarter 2026 Guidance
For the second quarter of 2026, Rocket Lab expects:
•Revenue between $225 million and $240 million.
•GAAP Gross Margins between 33% and 35%.
•Non-GAAP Gross Margins between 38% and 40%.
•GAAP Operating Expenses between $138 million and $144 million.
•Non-GAAP Operating Expenses between $120 million and $126 million.
•Interest Income, net $12.5 million.
•Adjusted EBITDA loss of between $20 million and $26 million.
•Basic Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding of 629 million, including approximately 46 million of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Shares.
See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for an explanation of our use of Non-GAAP financial measures, and the reconciliation of historical Non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures in the tables attached to this press release. We have not provided a reconciliation for the forward-looking Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Expenses or Adjusted EBITDA expectations for Q2 2026 described above because, without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount and timing of adjustments that are used to calculate these non-GAAP financial measures, particularly related to stock-based compensation and its related tax effects. Stock-based compensation is currently expected to range from $19 million to $21 million in Q2 2026.
Conference Call Information
Rocket Lab will host a conference call for investors at 2 p.m. PT (5 p.m. ET) today to discuss these business highlights and financial results for our first quarter, other updates, and to provide our outlook for the second quarter 2026.
The live webcast and a replay of the webcast will be available on Rocket Lab’s Investor Relations website: https://investors.rocketlabcorp.com/

MEDIA RELEASE
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP financial information presented excludes certain significant items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into the company's ongoing business performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial information to the corresponding GAAP measures for the historical periods disclosed are included at the end of the tables in this press release. We have not provided a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because, without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount and timing of adjustments that are used to calculate these non-GAAP financial measures, particularly related to stock-based compensation and its related tax effects. The following definitions are provided:
Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Such items are excluded from net income or loss to determine Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes this measure provides investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations.
Other Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, research and development, net, selling, general and administrative, operating expenses, operating loss and total other income (expense), net, further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Such items are excluded from the applicable GAAP financial measure. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations.
