Sidus
Space Reports Full-Year 2025 Financial
Results And Provides Business Updates
April 1, 2026
Sidus Space, Inc.
announced its financial results for the
fourth quarter and full-year ended
December 31, 2025, and provided a
business update.
"2025 was a pivotal
year for Sidus as we continued executing
our long term strategy to
build vertically integrated space and
defense technology platforms," said
Carol Craig, Founder and CEO of Sidus
Space. "We expanded our on orbit
capabilities with the successful launch
and commissioning of LizzieSat 3,
advanced our AI enabled
computing ecosystem, and strengthened
our balance sheet through strategic
capital raises that provide the
resources needed to support future
growth. While near term
financial results reflect continued
investment in satellite operations,
infrastructure, and organizational
capabilities, we believe these
investments support the scaling of
satellite platforms, technology
offerings, and AI enabled
data solutions, advancing revenue
opportunities in the periods ahead."

Financial
Highlights for the Full Year Ending
December 31, 2025:
Total revenue for
the twelve months ending December 31,
2025, was approximately $3.4 million, a
decrease of approximately $1.3 million
or 28% compared to total revenue for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
This decrease reflects Sidus' continued
strategic transition toward
higher-margin satellite manufacturing,
data, and technology business lines, as
the Company focuses on building a
scalable, recurring revenue base
anchored by its growing LizzieSat fleet.
Cost of revenue
increased 48% for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2025, to
approximately $9.1 million as compared
to approximately $6.1 million for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
The increase was primarily driven by
higher depreciation costs associated
with the expansion of Sidus' on-orbit
satellite fleet, including the
deployment of LizzieSat-2 and
LizzieSat-3 and related satellite
software, as well as the direct labor
required to support growing on-orbit
operations. Although depreciation will
continue to impact cost of revenue, it
is expected to be significantly offset
as we grow our high-margin satellite and
data-related revenue.
Gross loss for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2025,
was approximately $5.7 million, compared
to a gross loss of approximately $1.5
million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2024. Gross profit margin
was negative 168% for the full year 2025
as compared to negative 31% for the full
year 2024. The change was primarily
driven by higher non-cash depreciation
reflecting the significant progress
Sidus has made in deploying its
LizzieSat satellite fleet and building
the infrastructure to support long-term,
high-margin satellite data revenue.
Selling, general,
and administrative expenses for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2025,
totaled approximately $22.3 million,
including a $4.5 million non-cash
impairment charge related to LizzieSat-1
and associated assets. Excluding this
non-cash charge, core SG&A totaled
approximately $17.8 million, an increase
of approximately $3.6 million compared
to the same period in the prior year.
Increases to payroll to support the
Company's expanding satellite operations
and business development activities,
mission control expenses, and consulting
services were partially offset by
meaningful reductions in D&O insurance
premiums, professional fees, and
fundraising costs.
Adjusted EBITDA
loss, a non-GAAP measure, for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2025, totaled
$17.3 million as compared to an Adjusted
EBITDA loss of $12.9 million for the
same period in the prior year, with the
increase driven primarily by higher
payroll and satellite operations costs
as the Company continues to scale its
LizzieSat fleet and data platform toward
profitability.
Total non-GAAP
adjustments for interest expense,
depreciation and amortization, severance
costs, capital markets and advisory
fees, equity-based compensation and
impairment loss are provided in the
reconciliation table below.
Net loss for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2025,
was $29.5 million, compared to a net
loss of $17.5 million for the same
period in 2024. The increase includes a
$4.5 million non-cash impairment charge
related to LizzieSat-1 and associated
assets.
Balance Sheet:
As of December 31,
2025, the Company had $43.2 million of
cash as compared to $15.7 million on
December 31, 2024, which represents an
increase of $27.5 million, driven by
equity capital raises completed in the
third and fourth quarters of 2025. The
strengthened cash position puts Sidus in
an excellent position to accelerate
development of LizzieSat-4 and
LizzieSat-5 and continue executing its
growing pipeline of high-margin
satellite and data programs.
Current assets
increased by approximately $28.4
million, or 128%, to $50.7 million as of
December 31, 2025, from approximately
$22.3 million as of December 31, 2024.
The increase is primarily attributable
to our increased cash balance.
Current liabilities
increased by approximately $811,000, or
6%, to approximately $15.0 million as of
December 31, 2025, from approximately
$14.2 million as of December 31, 2024.
The increase was attributable to an
increase in accounts payable and the
asset-based loan liability, partially
offset by a decrease in notes payable.
