CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIDU), (the "Company" or "Sidus"), an innovative space and defense technology company, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided a business update highlighting a strengthened capital position, completion of a key launch qualification milestone, and continued advancement of its proprietary technology portfolio.

The Company will host a conference call and webcast today, Friday, August 14, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

"The second quarter materially strengthened our foundation," said Carol Craig, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Sidus Space. "We raised capital on terms that provide the runway to execute without compromise, and we advanced our LizzieSat offerings with the addition of Fortis VPX Maxima, our proprietary digital mission computing platform. Its multi-domain, software-defined architecture gives customers a single computing backbone that carries across space, air, land, and sea. Additionally, we believe inclusion in the Russell 2000, Russell 3000, and Russell Microcap Indexes will broaden our institutional visibility. Our focus for the balance of the year is converting this technical and financial foundation into recurring commercial and government revenue."

Operational Highlights for the Quarter Ending June 30, 2026:

  • Successfully completed vibration testing on the Company's next LizzieSat spacecraft at Element U.S. Space & Defense's Orlando, Florida facility, a key environmental qualification milestone
  • Integrated the Company's proprietary Fortis VPX digital mission computing platform onto the next LizzieSat spacecraft. Fortis VPX – Maxima pairs a quad-core ARM processor and reconfigurable FPGA with an integrated NVIDIA edge AI/ML engine and an assured positioning, navigation, and timing (A-PNT) suite, enabling on-board AI inference and autonomous decision making at the sensor rather than in ground processing
  • Closed a best-efforts registered direct offering on May 29, 2026 of 19,685,039 shares of Class A common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) at $5.08 per share, generating gross proceeds of approximately $100 million before placement agent fees and offering expenses
  • Announced expected inclusion in the Russell 2000, Russell 3000 and Russell Microcap Indexes in connection with the FTSE Russell annual reconstitution, effective after market close on June 26, 2026, expanding institutional visibility

Subsequent Operational Highlights:

  • Issued a Letter to Shareholders on July 21, 2026 from Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Carol Craig, detailing the Company's transition from technology development to commercialization, its strengthened balance sheet and capital strategy, and its expanding pipeline across defense, intelligence, and commercial markets
  • Appointed Alan Khalili as Chief Financial Officer effective July 27, 2026

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter Ending June 30, 2026:

  • Revenue: $583,000, a decrease of 54% compared to $1.3 million in Q2 2025, driven by the timing of fixed-price milestone contracts
  • Cost of Revenue: $1.2 million, a 47% decrease compared to $2.3 million in Q2 2025, reflecting lower contract activity and lower satellite and software depreciation
  • Gross Profit (Loss): Gross loss of $630,000, a 39% improvement from a gross loss of $1.0 million in Q2 2025
  • Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) Expenses: $5.1 million, a 19% increase compared to $4.3 million in Q2 2025
  • Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP): Loss of $5.1 million, as compared to a $3.9 million loss in Q2 2025
  • Net Loss: $4.8 million, an improvement of $844,000, or 15%, as compared to Q2 2025
  • Cash Position: $166.5 million as of June 30, 2026, with no outstanding term debt

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release about future expectations, plans and prospects, as well as any other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts, may constitute 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the expected trading commencement and closing dates. The words 'anticipate,' 'believe,' 'continue,' 'could,' 'estimate,' 'expect,' 'intend,' 'may,' 'plan,' 'potential,' 'predict,' 'project,' 'should,' 'target,' 'will,' 'would' and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including: the uncertainties related to market conditions and other factors described more fully in the section entitled 'Risk Factors' in Sidus Space's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Measures

To provide investors with additional information in connection with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA. We use adjusted EBITDA in order to evaluate our operating performance and make strategic decisions regarding future direction of the company since it provides a meaningful comparison to our peers using similar measures. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (as determined by U.S. GAAP) adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, capital raise expense, severance costs, equity-based compensation and impairment loss. These non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures made by other companies since not all companies will use the same measures. Therefore, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis.

The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to net loss (the most comparable GAAP measure) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

(i)

Sidus Space earned net interest income following the repayment of the asset-based loan in January 2026 and

increased interest income from higher cash balances resulting from the April 2026 and May 2026 offerings.

(ii)

Sidus Space incurred lower depreciation expense following the satellite impairment write-off in Q4 2025.

(iii)

Sidus Space did not incur internal fundraising expense related to capital raises. Costs directly attributable to

the April 2026 and May 2026 registered direct offerings, including the fair value of underwriter warrants

issued, were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital rather than as expense.

(iv)

Sidus Space issued stock-based compensation for employee and Board services rendered. The three-month

amount reflects a net reversal resulting from forfeitures of previously granted stock options.
