| Statement |
|---|
| This award is a testament to the differentiation, innovation and on-orbit success of our rollout solar array technology and demonstrates that our heritage is leading to increasingly larger orders |
| Solid bookings, and thanks for all the backlog and pipeline stats as usual |
| Moving up the value chain and looking at more platforms and full payloads, like I said, in that segment has a lot of high growth potential as well |
| The fourth quarter of last year was another excellent quarter for Redwire, during which we continued our positive momentum, we have now delivered four consecutive quarters of positive adjusted EBITDA and revenue growth |
| During the fourth quarter, we achieved $63.5 million in Q4 revenue, an 18.2% improvement over Q4 2022 |
| We achieved positive adjusted EBITDA of $1.7 million in Q4, a $2.5 million increase on a year-over-year basis from the fourth quarter of 2022 to the fourth quarter of 2023 |
| This was primarily driven by excellent increase in operating leverage year-over-year on both a percentage and an absolute basis |
| On a year-over-year basis, we saw an improvement in adjusted EBITDA of $26.3 million |
| We also achieved cash from operations of positive $15.7 million, a year-over-year improvement of $20.5 million |
| Our adjusted EBITDA improvement was also supported by excellent cost control from Redwire's fourth quarter SG&A revenues that were 26% of revenue, a notable drop from the 30.8% in the fourth quarter of 2022 |
| It was a fantastic quarter for bookings |
| In addition to a strong fourth quarter, I am very pleased to report that 2023 was a record year for financial performance at Redwire |
| Our ability to deliver differentiated, high-quality solutions and products to our customers resulted in tangible financial results for our shareholders |
| On a year-over-year basis, quarterly free cash flow improved by $18.1 million to a record positive $12.6 million for the fourth quarter due to a $20.5 million improvement in cash from operations |
| We achieved positive adjusted EBITDA of $15.3 million and positive cash from operations of $1.2 million for the full year |
| There's been a really positive reception to our rollout solar array technology, highly differentiated |
| By focusing on the fundamental building block of space, we are meeting the expanding demand of our customers for Redwire's differentiated core offerings |
| This gross profit improvement was primarily driven by better contract mix and the maturing of our program management |
| If you were to say currently, and we don't break it down by specific numbers, but the solar array business has been really strong |
| Once again, our year-over-year adjusted EBITDA improvement was primarily driven by an improvement in gross profit with fourth quarter gross profit growing 1.2 times higher from $8.6 million to $10.7 million on a year-over-year basis |
| And with disciplined cash management, we improved cash from operations year-over-year by $32.9 million and improved free cash flow year-over-year by $28.7 million in 2022 to 2023 |
| It is important to note that we achieved these positive financial results by developing and delivering critical innovations for our customers throughout the year |
| In 2023, 24 Redwire solutions were deployed on 14 launches, whether deploying antennas for natural security, rolling out solar arrays for the International Space Station or meeting our milestones on full satellite solutions for the European Space Agency, our reliable technical performance for our customers throughout 2023 was the foundation of our positive financial results |
| We drove an improvement in adjusted EBITDA of $2.5 million year-over-year from the fourth quarter of 2022 to a positive $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 |
| Like we said, we've announced, obviously, a win on that, but there's - again, we don't set expectations based on pipeline, but again, the last two quarters has shown a good trend |
| But it also underscores our ability to compete for and win larger and larger programs |
| In addition, we had more efficient and effective working capital management over the fourth quarter, and this is helped by a diversity of core offerings, customers, new contracts, which cascades down to our cash flow from operations |
| I think, obviously, it's really exciting to win a $142 million contract and so just the near-term 2024 impact of that in our financial projections is really exciting |
| So we have a variety of larger programs, as well as a really strong, like I like to say, protecting the core basis for repeat orders as well |
| But yes, lunar infrastructure was -- we're very proud to be partner in that mission was very successful for us |

| Finally, let's step back and look at Redwire's growth since 2021, a period of significant change for the space sector, significant interest rate increases and a slowing of the global economy and a very challenging capital market for small cap companies |
| I think the fourth quarter was down a little bit |
| Obviously, as you mentioned, they came down significantly year-over-year, and I mean it's becoming somewhat of a moot point given the size and scale of your revenue |
| The sequential decline in adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by discrete EAC adjustments on select projects, partially offset by higher revenues during the fourth quarter |
| For the full year, SG&A margin decreased from 43.8% in 2022 to 28.1% in 2023, with a reduction in total absolute spend of almost $2 million from $70.3 million to $68.5 million |
| Just the very topical in the headlines about government funding trends in various space endeavors, particularly there was a specific headline in OSAM-1, I'm just curious on the implications for you guys |
| We're not -- our TAM includes going beyond just satellites to things like the rapid and exciting growth we're seeing in the future of the moon |
| The 300, I would say from a -- how that's going to play out, like we've been saying, one of the reasons we don't give quarterly guidance is that our revenue tends to come in lumpy |
