Strategic partnerships were also forged, notably with Reflex Aerospace to deliver cost-effective, high-performance solutions, and with Lonestar Data Holdings to design a lunar fleet of Data Storage Spacecraft, while a new West Coast office in El Segundo, California, was established to strengthen proximity to launch sites.
• Technological Advancements and Efficiency Gains: Sidus Space demonstrated technological prowess with the introduction of the Sidus Orlaith™ AI ecosystem, capable of 100 trillion operations per second, enabling near real-time data analytics from space, which was integrated into LizzieSat-3 and future satellites. The company achieved notable cost reductions, with LizzieSat-2 costing 27% less than LizzieSat-1 and LizzieSat-3 costing 25% less than LizzieSat-2, while each satellite offered enhanced capabilities and performance.

• Financial Performance Overview for 2024: For the full year 2024, Sidus Space reported total revenue of USD 4.7 million, a 22% decrease from USD 6.0 million in 2023, reflecting a strategic pivot toward higher-margin data, technology, and satellite manufacturing services. Cost of revenue rose 42% to USD 6.1 million, driven by increased depreciation from the first satellite deployment in March 2024 and higher material and labor expenses, resulting in a gross profit loss of USD 1.5 million, down 31% from a USD 1.6 million profit in 2023, with a negative gross margin of 31%. Selling, general, and administrative expenses remained stable at USD 14.2 million, while the Adjusted EBITDA loss widened to USD 12.9 million from USD 10.9 million in 2023, and the net loss increased to USD 17.5 million from USD 14.3 million, highlighting the financial challenges amid the company’s transition.

Current assets grew by 142% to USD 22.3 million, primarily due to the increased cash position, while current liabilities rose 16% to USD 14.2 million, driven by an increase in asset-based loan liability, partially offset by reduced accounts payable. These financial improvements, coupled with the appointment of a new CFO to lead strategic initiatives, position Sidus Space favorably for future growth in the competitive space technology sector.
