Spire Global, Inc. (SPIR)

Overview

We are a global provider of space-based data, analytics, and space services, offering unique datasets and powerful insights about Earth so that organizations can make decisions with confidence in a rapidly changing world. We build, own, and operate a fully deployed constellation of multi-purpose nanosatellites that observe the Earth in real time using radio frequency (“RF”) technology. The data acquired by our satellites provide global weather intelligence, aircraft and ship movements, and spoofing and jamming detection to help predict how these patterns affect economies, global security, business operations, and the environment. Additionally, we deliver space-based intelligence through a mission-ready satellite network and military-grade analytics. Our platform supports persistent signal monitoring, source detection, and asset tasking across any global region of interest. We also offer Space Services solutions that enable our customers to deploy and scale their own constellation, by leveraging our proven space platform, global ground station network, end-to-end manufacturing facility, and extensive launch partnership network.

We operate in the “listening” (RF) satellite market. We do not operate in the “looking” (imagery) or “talking” (communications) satellite markets.

Our Data Solution Offerings

Our proprietary constellation of Low Earth Multi-Use Receiver (“LEMUR”) satellites collects and transmits data to our proprietary global ground station network. The data is then autonomously moved from ground stations to proprietary data warehouses for cleansing, standardization, fusion and analysis. Our customers receive proprietary data, analysis, and predictive data and solutions delivered seamlessly in real and near real-time.

For each data solution, we have the capability to offer customers a variety of features and additional value. The four forms of data we monetize are:

•
Clean data: Clean and structured data directly from our proprietary satellites;

•
Smart data: Clean data fused with third-party datasets and proprietary analysis to enhance value and provide insights;

•
Predictive data: Big data, artificial intelligence (“AI”), and machine learning (“ML”) algorithms applied to fused data sets to create predictive analytics and insights; and

•
Data Solutions: Data-driven actionable recommendations to solve specific business problems, utilizing the full spectrum of our data analytics suite.

We monetize our proprietary solutions across a broad and growing range of current and target governments and industries including agriculture, logistics, financial services, insurance, aviation operations, energy, and academia, among others. The solutions we provide include space reconnaissance, aviation, weather and climate, and space services.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our current and future performance depends on many factors, including, but not limited to, those described below. While these areas present significant opportunity, they also present risks that we must manage to achieve successful results. For additional information about these risks, see the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2025 Form 10-K. If we are unable to address these risks, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Expansion of and Further Penetration of Our Customer Base

We employ a “land and expand” business model that focuses on efficiently acquiring new customers (“land”) and then growing our relationships with these customers over time (“expand”). We have the ability to offer customers additional data sets and a variety of enhanced features that potentially grow the value of the services for which our customers contract with us. Our future revenue growth and profitability are dependent upon our ability to continue to land new customers and then expand adoption of our solutions within their organizations.

35

Expansion into New Industries and Geographies

As our solutions grow, we continue to focus on further penetration of current and target governments and industries including agriculture, logistics, financial services, insurance, aviation operations, energy and academia, among others. We are also investing sales and marketing resources into additional geographies. Our revenue growth is dependent upon our ability to continue to expand into new industries and geographies. The costs associated with these expansions may adversely affect our results of operations.

Investment in Growth

We continue investing in growing our business and capitalizing on our market opportunities while balancing the uncertainties from the macroeconomic environment and geopolitical factors. We intend to continue to add headcount to our global sales and marketing teams to acquire new customers and to increase sales to existing customers. We also intend to add headcount as needed to our research and development teams to increase satellite design, manufacturing and checkout speed as well as improve latency, reliability and satellite life. The costs of these investments may adversely affect our results of operations, but we believe that these investments will contribute to our long-term growth.

Impact of Foreign Exchange Rates

Our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currencies of our foreign operating subsidiaries is the local currency in which each subsidiary operates, including the Euro, the British Pound Sterling, the Singapore Dollar and the Canadian Dollar.

The U.S. Dollar weakened against these local functional currencies for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Approximately one-third of our sales are denominated in foreign currencies, so a weaker U.S. Dollar generally has a positive effect on revenue. Conversely, operating expenses are primarily incurred outside the U.S., so a weaker U.S. Dollar increases expenses. For additional information, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Form 10-K.

The financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars using exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the period for revenue and expenses. To the extent we experience significant currency fluctuations, our results of operations may be impacted.

Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Impact

The macroeconomic environment may cause existing or potential customers to re-evaluate their decision to purchase our offerings, at times resulting in additional customer discounts, extended payment terms, and longer sales cycles. In particular, delays in approving appropriations bills and recent government funding disruptions have and may continue to negatively affect the timing of certain U.S. federal government orders. Negative macroeconomic conditions, including elevated inflation, interest rate volatility, credit market disruptions, trade restrictions and tariffs, and geopolitical tensions, civil unrest, or armed conflicts, have and may continue to affect customer purchasing patterns, occasionally resulting in selective project delays or extended sales cycles. Although imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions have not had a material impact on our business, they could create future supply-chain disruptions or cost pressures. For additional information, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Industry and Business—Uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions have negatively impacted, and may continue to impact, our business, financial condition, and results of operations.” in Part I, Item 1A of the 2025 Form 10-K.

Impact of Foreign Exchange Rates

Our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currencies of our foreign operating subsidiaries is the local currency in which each subsidiary operates, including the Euro, the British Pound, the Singapore Dollar and the Canadian Dollar.

The U.S. Dollar weakened against these local functional currencies for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared with the year ended December 31, 2024. Approximately one-third of our sales are denominated in foreign currencies, so a weaker U.S. Dollar generally has a positive effect on revenue. Conversely, operating expenses are primarily incurred outside the U.S., so a weaker U.S. Dollar increases expenses. For additional information, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars using exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the period for revenue and expenses. To the extent we experience significant currency fluctuations, our results of operations may be impacted.

Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Impact

The macroeconomic environment may cause existing or potential customers to re-evaluate their decision to purchase our offerings, at times resulting in additional customer discounts, extended payment terms, and longer sales cycles. In particular, delays in approving appropriations bills and recent government funding disruptions have and may continue to negatively affect the timing of certain U.S. federal government orders. Negative macroeconomic conditions, including elevated inflation, interest rate volatility, credit market disruptions, trade restrictions and tariffs, and geopolitical tensions, civil unrest, or armed conflicts, have and may continue to affect customer purchasing patterns, occasionally resulting in selective project delays or extended sales cycles. Although imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions have not had a material impact on our business, they could create future supply-chain disruptions or cost pressures.
