| The additional revenue-generating opportunities that Exo-Space's technology presents are enhancements to our prior offerings that will position Sidus to compete in the current market where AI-led data-driven services give us a significant competitive advantage |
| Our mission-critical hardware manufacturing, which we've been successfully operating for over 10 years, targets gross margins of approximately 25% |
| We expect the launch of LizzieSat to be a significant catalyst for our business as we believe it will provide us with the opportunity to develop additional high-margin revenue streams, driven by the sale of both data and payloads on these missions |
| We expect the enhanced capabilities of these satellites to provide space infrastructure as well as critical data that will create a high-margin, are rapidly scalable recurring revenue business model |
| And therefore, our agile model ensures we're lining up our launches with the most valuable demand and doing what's in the best interest for company and shareholders |
| This combination of advanced data collection harnessed from our adaptability set provides organizations with the heightened decision-making capabilities, and this leads to increased confidence, precision, and accelerated insights for those customers |
| I believe that we're approaching a transformative event for our company with our first LizzieSat launch, and with it, we will begin to benefit from our hard work |
| As we move towards 2024, we are targeting three areas that we feel will positively impact the share price, both in the short-term and the long-term: first, ensuring the success of not only the initial LizzieSat launch but subsequent satellites as well, second, securing agreements to sell the data that we plan to collect from this constellation and as mentioned above, we believe these agreements have significant revenue generating potential and third, securing agreements to sell technology payload space on our upcoming LizzieSat missions and then working at the same time to convert those payload customers to data customers |
| And there's great value to be added by that FeatherEdge system anywhere that data is generated for these ultra-low latency insights |
| We believe that data as a service will provide some of the highest margins of our revenue streams, which also include technology hosting aboard our LizzieSat and mission-critical hardware manufacturing |
| From a year-to-date perspective, it is important to note that for nine months ended September 30th, 2023, our satellite revenue has continued to increase and was up 135% versus the same period last year |
| One advantage of our business model that I highlight our flexible, agile service offering that allows us to control our production and our launch cadence in coordination with customer demand |
| And when combined with the inclusion of additional sensors and enhanced AI capabilities, we expect the new orbits to add value as we get closer to initiating these launches and developing these new high-margin business lines |
| The transaction provides the opportunity for us to enhance our presence in the earth and space observations market by providing actionable solutions for our customer's needs rather than just raw data |
| I want to assure you that everyone at Sidus is laser focused on preparing for the upcoming LizzieSat launches and we are working diligently to build new revenue streams, which we believe will result in renewing shareholder value |
| This new contract will provide another revenue generation opportunity for the company, and while the lunar contract will not replace our lower earth orbit strategy, we do recognize the potential importance of lunar missions to build an infrastructure that enables human permanence on the moon and a transition to commercial operations past lower earth orbit and onto more distant destinations |
| These changes will not only allow for more streamlined and efficient management of technical and operational aspects speaks within Sidus Space, but also ensure that we are right-sized and efficiently resourced to achieve our launch program |
| Our goal is to secure additional high-margin revenue generation opportunities through the revenue streams that we will develop even following our LizzieSat launch |
| For the nine months ended September 30th, 2023, our gross margin as a percent of revenue was 28% versus 25% last year and was almost $68,000 higher on $344,000 less sales year-over-year, again a reflection of increased percentage of our overall revenue coming from our higher margin satellite side of the business |
| During the third quarter, we continued to establish relationships with new and existing significant, and customers and we announced several contracts that we were awarded, further validating Sidus' ability to deliver mission-critical hardware to our key partners and vendors |
| It is key to note that although gross profit was down 12% versus prior year, this was based on 25% lower revenue, and reflects the positive gross profit impact, as we continue to increase the percentage of our higher margin satellite-related revenue |
| Through these decisive steps to integrate AI, we're leveraging the potential of AI technologies within our own service offerings, which expand our services, amplifies our market presence, and then also our customer relationships |
| Leo's significant Board experience will be invaluable in managing governance and other related matters, and this will provide me with an increased ability to focus on the execution of our commercial development strategy to build value for our shareholders |
| We believe we will continue to expand these opportunities as our constellation grows |
| We also continued to progress on accelerating our manufacturing plans, developing mission-critical hardware manufacturing to support multiple large organizations |
| While revenue declined period-over-period, primarily due to timing of fixed price milestone contracts, our higher margin satellite revenue continued to increase |
| The company is continuously working to secure agreements that will provide us with a predictable business model |
| I'm pleased to provide an update on Sidus today at a truly pivotal time for both our company and the industry |
| Few companies know how to process data and with the additional AI functionality, Sidus is able to provide not just data but that critical information that provides answers to our customers |
| And these efforts will ensure that the AI data services brought over from the former Exo-Space team will generate revenue as soon as LizzieSat on-orbit and operational |

| I wholeheartedly share your frustration with regards to the performance of our stock |
| Our gross profit was approximately negative $96,000 or negative 10% for the quarter ended September 30th, 2023, compared to approximately negative $86,000 or negative 7% for the third quarter of 2022 |
| These factors include our ability to estimate operational expenses and liquidity needs, customer demand, supply chain delays, including launch providers and extended sales cycles |
| Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made on this call |
| Third quarter operating loss was $3.87 million, which was comparable with the third quarter of last year |
