Intuitive Machines, Inc.
Intuitive Machines designs, manufactures, and operates space products and services, focusing on lunar infrastructure and commerce to support sustainable human presence on the Moon and exploration beyond. They generate revenue through contracts for lunar and orbital access services, data transmission, and space product infrastructure.
- Revenue: Increased by 359% ($45.7M) for Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023; increased by 254% ($124.4M) for YTD 2024 compared to YTD 2023. (USD)
- Costs of revenue: Increased by 105% ($27.9M) in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023; increased by 132% ($97.6M) for YTD 2024 compared to YTD 2023. (USD)
- Net loss: Significant net losses reported for both periods due to a variety of factors, including changes in fair value of liabilities and other one-time charges. (USD)
- Significant increase in costs of revenue and general and administrative expenses in 2024 compared to 2023, driven by increased project activity, new contracts, and general company growth. (USD)
- Realized goals: Successfully landed Nova-C lander on the Moon (IM-1 mission), first U.S. soft landing since 1972.
- Unrealized goals: Completing IM-2 and IM-3 lunar missions.
- Continue lunar missions (IM-2, IM-3, IM-4).
- Develop Lunar Data Network (LDN) for secure communications and navigation.
- Expand product offerings to include propulsion systems, navigation systems, lunar mobility, power infrastructure, and human habitation systems.
- Secure and execute additional contracts with NASA and other commercial entities, including the Near Space Network (NSN) contract.
- Nova-C lunar lander (launched).
- Lunar Data Network (LDN) (in development).
- Various space products (in development, including propulsion, navigation, mobility, power, and habitation systems).
- Significant changes in share structure due to business combination, warrant exercises, and private placements.
- Information on insider holdings is not explicitly provided in the report.
- Business combination with Intuitive Machines, LLC in February 2023, funded by cash held in trust and PIPE investment.
-
- Other companies involved in lunar exploration and space infrastructure development (specific names not listed in the report).
- First U.S. company to successfully land a spacecraft on the Moon since 1972.
- Integrated capabilities in lunar delivery, data transmission, and autonomous operations.
- Strong relationships with NASA and other government agencies.
- Strong revenue growth in 2024, primarily due to new contract awards (OMES III and NSN) and release of constrained revenue from IM-1 mission.
- Increased costs of revenue due to new project activity and unfavorable adjustments from task order modifications.
- Significant other income expenses due to changes in fair value of liabilities and losses on the issuance of securities.
- The report does not list individual board members, their competencies, salaries, or details on past negative PR.
- Primary customers are NASA and various commercial payload customers.
- ARPU/MRR data is not provided.
- The report does not specify exact R&D spending, but mentions substantial investment in R&D for lander and system enhancements.
- Live Oak Credit Mobilization Facility repaid in July 2024.
- Bridge Loan repaid in January 2024.
- Successful IM-1 Moon landing validates technology and opens opportunities for future missions and contracts.
- Large NSN contract award ($4.82B potential value) significantly increases revenue potential.
- Significant dilution of shares due to warrant exercises and private placements.
- Potential for volatility in revenue due to the timing of project completion and the contingent nature of variable considerations.
- Competition from existing and new companies in the space industry.
- Risks associated with commercial spaceflight, including launch failures and mission delays.
- Dependence on government contracts.
- Macroeconomic pressures (inflation, supply chain disruptions).
- Maintaining adequate cash reserves to fund operations.
The Q3 2024 report presents a mixed picture. While significant revenue growth driven by new, large contracts is highly positive and demonstrates technology validation, substantial net losses and share dilution raise concerns. The overall direction seems positive given the large contract awards, but significant execution and cost control challenges need to be addressed.
