Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, they include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The interim results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for future interim periods or the full year. For a more comprehensive understanding of the Company and its interim results, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all the footnote disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Terran Orbital Corporation and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements do not differ from those used for the annual consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

The Company evaluates and reports its segment information based on the manner in which its Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), evaluates performance and allocates resources. Accordingly, the Company reports its results as a single operating and reportable segment on a consolidated basis.

Going Concern

Going Concern

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists.

The Company’s primary corporate debt agreements contain a covenant requiring the Company’s Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the underlying note agreements), on a trailing twelve month basis, to not be less than $0 by December 31, 2024, which date is the result of the original determination date on June 30, 2024 being extended by two fiscal quarters pursuant to contractual terms (the “EBITDA Financial Covenant”). The commencement of the EBITDA Financial Covenant may be further delayed by one quarter for every additional $25.0 million of net cash proceeds received from qualified equity issuances. If the Company is unable to comply with these financial covenants, the Company’s creditors may accelerate the principal and interest on the Company’s primary corporate indebtedness to be immediately due and payable. As of March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $43.7 million and debt subject to the EBITDA Financial Covenant totaled $292.6 million with related accrued but unpaid interest of $2.1 million.

There is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to comply with the EBITDA Financial Covenant for at least twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. To address the potential future breach of the EBITDA Financial Covenant, the Company is executing on its business plan to improve operating results. Additionally, the Company is in active discussions with funding sources to have access to additional sources of qualified equity issuances in the event needed to extend the EBITDA Financial Covenant

beyond December 31, 2024. Furthermore, the Company could request waivers from existing creditors to waive the EBITDA Financial Covenant to the extent necessary. The Company cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in improving operating results, obtaining new financing, and/or receiving waivers to the EBITDA Financial Covenant. The Company’s inability to improve operating results, raise capital through qualified equity issuances, or receive waivers may negatively impact its compliance with the EBITDA Financial Covenant, which may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to select accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company’s estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or market conditions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Research and Development

Research and Development

Research and development includes materials, labor, and overhead attributable to the development of new products and solutions and significant improvements to existing products and solutions. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Research and development expense was $3.4 million and $7.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risks

Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and contract assets.

The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at major financial institutions. Certain account balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits of $250,000 per account. As a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts in excess of the insurance limits. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that there is no exposure to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable and contract assets are limited because a large portion of our balances are related to (i) reputable companies with significant financial resources or (ii) customer programs in which the U.S. Government is the ultimate customer.

A small number of customers and contracts historically have represented a significant portion of the Company's consolidated revenue. Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed Martin”) represented approximately 73% of consolidated revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. There were no other individual customers who accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue during these periods.

The table below presents individual customers who accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s combined accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, and contract assets, net of allowance for credit losses, as of the dates presented:
