Segment performance
In Q3 2023, Momentus recognized $0.34 million in revenue, a 162% year-over-year increase. Operating expenses were $15.3 million, a 30% year-over-year improvement. The company ended Q3 2023 with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $9.8 million, and had approximately $5.7 million in outstanding gross debt.

Risks & headwinds
- Shortening cash runway, requiring additional capital to bridge to full commercial production at a profit; operations could be curtailed or ceased if capital raised is insufficient. - Uncertainty around the outcome of strategic alternatives discussions with potential partners. - Dependence on successful execution of government contracts (e.g., SDA bids) and continued commercial customer demand.
Analyst Q&A
Q: When will the SDA choose winners from the Tranche 2 bid?
A: The projected award from SDA for the Tranche 2 tracking layer bid is mid-January. Momentus was not selected for the Tranche 2 Transport Layer Alpha but is pursuing the Tranche 2 Tracking Layer program.
Q: What's the ballpark reduction in cost of service with a reusable Vigoride?
A: A reusable Vigoride could be reused 6 or 7 times, improving unit economics. On the next mission (Vigoride 7 in March 2024), a Rendezvous and Proximity Operations demonstration will be conducted to move toward this capability.
Q: Details on M-1000 progress and flight heritage?
A: The M-1000 Satellite Bus is based on the Vigoride orbital service vehicle, leveraging its flight heritage. It has high power, flexible configuration, larger payload capacity, and is well-received by customers. It was used in Momentus' bid to the SDA for the Tranche 2 Tracking Layer program.
Q: Recent contracts and future growth outlook?
A: Momentus signed six commercial contracts since mid-August. The company is booking customers for future missions like SpaceX Transporter-11 and 12 in 2024, and is optimistic about future growth due to increased interest in its capabilities.
