ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included within Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, as well as the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto and the discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("Form 10-K"). This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of our Form 10-K and “Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
We are a purpose-built, innovation-driven defense technology and space solutions company focused on delivering mission-critical solutions across national security, space exploration and infrastructure and commercial space markets. Our company was purpose-built to address some of the most complex and consequential challenges facing the defense and space sectors, where technological leadership, operational execution and long-term resilience are essential. Our work strengthens national security, protects critical assets and enables sustained human and economic activity in space. Our founding was rooted in our goal of building a company that would address challenges at the forefront of the defense, national security and space industries. Since 2019, we have accomplished significant achievements, including the successful deployment of first-of-its-kind missile defense maneuvering capabilities, the development of groundbreaking space technology and the selection by NASA to develop a replacement for the ISS.
We have grown both organically and through acquisitions, including Nanoracks, Valley Tech Systems, Space Micro, Zin Technologies, ExoTerra, Estes and most recently, Astrobotic in July 2026. We serve as a “prime” contractor and “subcontractor” to various government and private enterprise customers through our defense, national security, and space product offerings. Since 2019 to the period ended June 30, 2026, we have executed and successfully vertically and horizontally integrated twelve acquisitions, with revenue of $52.7 million and $88.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. In addition, we received cash proceeds from NASA grants of $3.8 million and $27.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively and $211.0 million cash proceeds to date. We have $6.5 million of eligible proceeds remaining as of June 30, 2026, from our $217.5 million development grant with NASA to design Starlab, the commercial space station replacement for the ISS when it is decommissioned in 2030. We intend to operate Starlab through the Starlab JV, a Voyager-led and majority-owned global joint venture, with international equity partners that include Airbus, Mitsubishi and MDA Space. Our growth and increased size and scale are the result of investment and focus on our key technology offerings, as well as our ability to attract, cultivate and integrate accretive acquisitions.
Unless otherwise indicated, our significant accounting policies and estimates, material cash requirements, commitments, contingencies and business risks and uncertainties as described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) are substantially unchanged from what was disclosed in our Form 10-K.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our results have been affected, and are expected to be affected in the future, by a variety of factors. A discussion of key factors that have had, or may have, an effect on our results is set forth below. For a further discussion of the factors affecting our results of operations, see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” disclosed in our Form 10-K.
36
Government Expenditures and Private Enterprise Investment
Government expenditure and private enterprise investment have fueled the growth in our target markets and we expect the continued availability of government expenditures and private investment for our customers to help fund purchases of our products and services. However, changes in the volume and relative mix of government expenditures and private investment, as well as in areas of spending growth, may impact our results of operations. In particular, our results can be affected by shifts in strategies and priorities on defense-related programs, commercial space exploration, and space infrastructure. Cost-cutting and efficiency initiatives, current and future budget restrictions, spending cuts, and other efforts to reduce government expenditures and private enterprise investment, as well as shifts in overall priorities, could cause our government and private enterprise customers to reduce or delay funding or invest appropriated funds on a less consistent basis or not at all, and demand for our solutions or services could diminish. Furthermore, any disruption in the functioning of government agencies, including as a result of government closures and shutdowns, could have a negative impact on our operations and cause us to lose revenue or incur additional costs due to, among other things, our inability to maintain access and schedules for government testing or deploy our staff to customer locations or facilities as a result of such disruptions.
There is also uncertainty around the timing, extent, nature, and effect of Congressional and other U.S. government actions to address budgetary constraints and caps on the discretionary budget for defense and non-defense departments and agencies. In addition, there is uncertainty around the ability of Congress to determine how to allocate the available budget authority and pass appropriations bills to fund both U.S. government departments and agencies that are, and those that are not, subject to the caps. Additionally, budget deficits and the growing U.S. national debt may increase pressure on the U.S. government to continue to reduce federal spending across all federal agencies, with uncertainty about the size and timing of those reductions. Furthermore, delays in the completion of future U.S. government budgets could delay procurement of the federal government services that we provide. A reduction in the amount of, or reductions, delays, or cancellations of funding for, services that we are contracted to provide to the U.S. government due to any of these impacts or related initiatives, legislation or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Backlog
Our total backlog is comprised of funded and unfunded backlog. Our funded backlog represents the portion of definitized contracts with customers that contain remaining performance obligations. Unfunded backlog includes contractual value that has yet to be funded, unexercised contract options and bookings under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts that has been definitized. In order to effectively manage our resources and develop our financial budgets, we continuously monitor our backlog.
Our backlog may also include, as of any date of estimation, change orders that have been confirmed for any project, either in writing or verbally, or formally contracted. Change orders may increase or decrease the amount we ultimately bill for a particular project, causing us to realize more or less revenue from a project than was reflected in our backlog as of the date of estimation. Additionally, prior to categorizing a project as part of our backlog, we maintain a running list of projects that are in an advanced stage of active bidding and discussion, including potential change orders for current projects, but for which the customer has not yet confirmed the commercial terms, the value of the contract, and/or the scope of our work. These projects are tracked for project planning and budgeting of the business. Once the terms of these projects are further progressed in line with our backlog criteria, they are recorded in our funded backlog.
Backlog in our segments includes both single and multi-year awards. Fluctuations in backlog are driven primarily by the timing of large program wins. Total backlog as of June 30, 2026 was $335.5 million, of which $189.0 million was funded. We expect to convert 62.1% of the total $189.0 million of funded backlog as of June 30, 2026 into revenue in the remaining periods of 2026.
37
In addition, our backlog is subject to meaningful customer concentration risk. As of June 30, 2026, 87.7% of the total dollar value of our funded backlog related to our top customer, the U.S. government. For purposes of evaluating our backlog, we consider all U.S. government entities to be one customer. Additionally, backlog that is originally funded through U.S. government efforts is considered to be U.S. government backlog even if the program is directly contracted through an intermediary.
In general, our customers have the right to cancel their contracts under termination for convenience clauses. If a customer cancels a contract before full performance of such contract, we may not receive the full revenue from such booking. Instead, we would recognize revenue under the contract on a cost basis with reasonable margin to the extent of the progress performed under such contract. In addition, our backlog is typically subject to large variations from quarter to quarter and comparisons of backlog from period to period are not necessarily indicative of future revenues. Some contracts comprising the backlog are for programs scheduled many years in the future and the economic viability of contractual counterparties is not guaranteed over time. As a result, the contracts comprising our backlog may not result in actual revenue in any particular period, or at all, and the actual revenue from such contracts may differ from our backlog estimates. The timing of recognition of revenues, if any, on projects included in the backlog could change. We review these projects regularly and increase or decrease our backlog accordingly. The failure to realize some portion of our backlog could adversely affect our financial performance.
Project Revenue Mix and Impact on Margins
We may experience future variability in the profitability of our contracts and such variability may occur at levels and frequencies different from historical experience. Such variability in profitability may be due to strategic decisions, cost overruns, or other circumstances within or outside of our control. Accordingly, our historical experience with profitability of our contracts is not indicative or predictive of future experience.
Our financial success is based on our ability to deliver high quality products on a timely basis and at a cost-effective price for our customers. When agreeing to contractual terms, our management team makes assumptions and projections about future conditions and events. The accounting for our contracts and programs involves assumptions and estimates about these conditions and events. These projections and estimates assess:
•the productivity and availability of labor;
•the allocation of indirect costs to labor and material costs incurred;
•the complexity of the work to be performed;
•the cost and availability of materials and components; and
•schedule requirements.
If there is a significant change in one or more of these circumstances, estimates or assumptions, or if the risks under our contracts are not managed adequately, the profitability of contracts could be adversely affected. This could materially affect earnings and margins.

In addition, we received cash proceeds from NASA grants of $56.0 million during 2025 and $62.2 million during 2024. We have $34.3 million of eligible proceeds remaining as of December 31, 2025, from our $217.5 million development grant with NASA to design Starlab, the commercial space station replacement for the ISS when it is decommissioned in 2030. We intend to operate Starlab through the Starlab JV, a Voyager-led and majority-owned global joint venture, with international equity partners that include Airbus, Mitsubishi, MDA Space and Palantir. Our growth and increased size and scale are the result of investment and focus on our key technology offerings, as well as our ability to attract, cultivate and integrate accretive acquisitions.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our results have been affected, and are expected to be affected in the future, by a variety of factors. A discussion of key factors that have had, or may have, an effect on our results is set forth below.

These projects are tracked for project planning and budgeting of the business. Once the terms of these projects are further progressed in line with our backlog criteria, they are recorded in our funded backlog.
Backlog in all of our segments includes both single and multi-year awards. Fluctuations in backlog are driven primarily by the timing of large program wins. Total backlog as of December 31, 2025 was $265.6 million, of which $146.1 million was funded. We expect to convert approximately 76.5% of the total $146.1 million of funded backlog as of December 31, 2025 into revenue in 2026.
In addition, our backlog is subject to meaningful customer concentration risk. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 86.3% of the total dollar value of our funded backlog related to our top customer, the U.S. government. For purposes of evaluating our backlog, we consider all U.S. government entities to be one customer. Additionally, backlog that is originally funded through U.S. government efforts is considered to be U.S. government backlog even if the program is directly contracted through an intermediary.
