This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1034, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, and are not guarantees of future performance. The words “may,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intends,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “aim,” “strive,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements may relate to, but are not limited to: expectations regarding our strategies and future financial performance, including future business plans or objectives, expected functionality of our geolocation services, anticipated timing and level of deployment of our services, anticipated demand and acceptance of our services, prospective performance and commercial opportunities and competitors, the timing of obtaining regulatory approvals, ability to finance our research and development activities, commercial partnership acquisition and retention, products and services, pricing, marketing plans, operating expenses, market trends, revenue, liquidity, cash flows and uses of cash, capital expenditures, and our ability to invest in growth initiatives; our ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination (as defined below), which may be affected by, among other things, competition, and the ability of the combined business to grow and manage growth profitably; factors relating to our future operations, projected capital resources and financial position, estimated revenue and losses, projected costs and capital expenditures, prospects and plans; projections of market growth and size, including the level of market acceptance for our services; our ability to adequately protect key intellectual property rights or proprietary technology; our ability to maintain our Location and Monitoring Service (“LMS”) licenses and obtain additional LMS licenses as necessary; our ability to maintain adequate operational financial resources or raise additional capital or generate sufficient cash flows; our ability to develop and maintain effective internal controls; our success in recruiting and/or retaining officers, key employees or directors; expansion plans and opportunities; costs related to being a public company; our ability to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq; and the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views of any subsequent date, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

NextNav INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the three months ended March 31, 2022

 

1. Organization and Business; Business Combination

 

Principal Business

 

NextNav Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, (collectively “NextNav” or the “Company”) delivers next generation positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions through network-based solutions, including the Pinnacle system. The Pinnacle system provides “floor-level” altitude service to any device with a barometric pressure sensor, including most off-the-shelf Android and iOS smartphones. The TerraPoiNT system is a terrestrial-based, encrypted network designed to overcome the limitations inherent in the space-based nature of global positioning system (“GPS”) through a network of specialized wide area location transmitters that broadcasts an encrypted PNT signal on a licensed 900 MHz spectrum.

 

NextNav has devoted substantially all of its efforts to date to planning and organization, the development of its network, ongoing research and development programs, and securing adequate capital for anticipated operations. Since its inception, NextNav has incurred recurring losses and generated negative cash flows from operations and has primarily relied upon debt and equity financings to fund its cash requirements.

 

Business Combination

 

On October 28, 2021, the Company consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of June 9, 2021, by and among the Company, Spartacus Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Spartacus”), NextNav Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”) and the other parties thereto (the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from Spartacus Acquisition Shelf Corp. to NextNav Inc., and certain blocker entities formed by Holdings equity holders, Holdings and the various operating subsidiaries of Holdings became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, with the equity holders of each of such blocker entities and Holdings and Spartacus’ stockholders becoming stockholders in NextNav.

 

While the legal acquirer in the Business Combination is Spartacus, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), Holdings is deemed to be the accounting acquirer, with the Business Combination being accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization.” A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting. Accordingly, the reverse recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Holdings issuing stock for the net assets of Spartacus, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Spartacus are stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the reverse recapitalization are those of Holdings. The outstanding shares and corresponding capital amounts, and losses per share, prior to the reverse recapitalization, have been retroactively restated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations.

 

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 are unaudited. These interim financial statements of NextNav have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”), which we filed with the SEC on March 23, 2022.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and reflect, in management’s opinion, all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s balance sheets, results of operations, and cash flows for the three-month periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other period.

 

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the 2021 Form 10-K that have had a material impact on these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period and accompanying notes. These estimates include those related to the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets, valuation of common stock warrants, income taxes and equity-based compensation, among others. NextNav bases estimates on historical experience, anticipated results and various other assumptions, including assumptions of future events, it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and outcomes could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

 

Revenue

 

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by category and source:

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2022				2021
		(in thousands)
Commercial		$	1,180			$	-
Government contracts			10				251
Equipment sales			9				-
Total revenue		$	1,199			$	251

 

Contract Balances

 

Accounts receivable are billed and unbilled amounts related to the Company’s rights to consideration as performance obligations are satisfied when the rights to payment become unconditional but for the passage of time. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s accounts receivable balances were comprised of $0.04 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

 

Contract liabilities relate to amounts billed in advance, or advance consideration received from customers, for which transfer of control of the good or service occurs at a later point in time. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s contract liabilities were $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

 

 

Equity-Based Compensation

 

Measurement of equity-based compensation with employees is based on the estimated grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of NextNav’s common stock on the date of grant. NextNav recognizes equity-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the grant, which is generally equal to the vesting period. NextNav accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

 

The following details the amount of stock-based compensation included in cost of goods sold, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses:

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2022				2021
		(in thousands)
Cost of goods sold		$	644			$	21
Research and development			1,794				145
Selling, general and administrative			4,757				219
Total stock-based compensation expense		$	7,195			$	385

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution for common share equivalents and is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, adjusted for the effect of dilutive common share equivalents.

 

Restricted shares are included in the computation of basic EPS as they vest and are included in diluted EPS, to the extent they are dilutive, determined using the treasury stock method. Outstanding options are included in the computation of diluted EPS, to the extent they are dilutive, determined using the treasury stock method. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, AT&T Services, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“AT&T”) elected to exchange its outstanding warrants in Holdings for a new warrant to purchase an aggregate of 4,320,133 shares of NextNav’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 (the “AT&T Warrant”). The AT&T Warrant is expected to be net settled upon redemption, resulting in an issuance of 4,315,813 of NextNav’s common stock. The exercise price represents little consideration compared to the Company’s common stock and there are no other vesting conditions or contingencies associated with them. Accordingly, they are included in the basic EPS calculation during the applicable period.

 

The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants to purchase an aggregate of 18,749,990 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

 

The determination of the diluted weighted average shares is included in the following calculation of EPS:

Leases

 

NextNav leases office space under a non-cancellable lease as well as site leases for towers and shelters under operating leases related to its network under construction. Site leases are entered into throughout the United States under which NextNav receives the rights to install equipment used to transmit its services over its licensed spectrum. The Company, at the inception of the contract, determines whether a contract is or contains a lease based on assessment of the terms and conditions of the contract. The Company classifies leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. The Company has elected not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for its short-term leases, which are defined as leases with an initial term of twelve months or less.

 

The Company’s leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The option to renew may be automatic, at the option of NextNav or mutually agreed to between the landlord and NextNav. Lease terms include the non-cancellable term and periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

 

The Company’s lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Payments under the lease arrangements are primarily fixed. Non-lease components primarily include payments for utilities and maintenance. The Company combines fixed payments for non-lease components with lease payments and account for them together as a single lease component which increases the amount of the Company’s lease assets and liabilities. Certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the lease assets and liabilities. These amounts include payments for common area maintenance.

 

Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Lease assets are reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases or lease prepayments reclassified from “Other current assets” upon lease commencement.

 

Operating lease assets and liabilities are included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet beginning January 1, 2022. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Monthly rent expense includes any site related utility payments or other fees such as administrative or up-front fees contained in the lease agreements that are determinable upon execution of the lease agreement.

 

 

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The new guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to the nature, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In July 2018, the FASB amended the new lease standard which, among other changes, allows a company to elect to adopt ASU 2016-02 using a transition option whereby a cumulative effect adjustment is recorded to the opening balance of its retained earnings on the adoption date. The Company has elected to use this modified retrospective transition option and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $0.5 million, net of tax, as of January 1, 2022. The Company also elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, including to retain the historical lease classification as well as relief from reviewing expired or existing contracts to determine if they contain leases. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities of $13.4 million and $10.5 million, respectively. The standard did not have a significant effect on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and Cash Flows. See Note 4 for additional lease disclosures.

 

In December 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-02, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to improve consistency and simplify several areas of existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Developments Not Yet Adopted

 

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires that an entity measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost and replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate credit losses. The guidance also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The Company is continuing to assess the potential impacts of ASU 2016-13 on its financial statements.

2023		$	2,400
2024		$	1,548
2025		$	1,109
Thereafter		$	1,581

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, rent expense was $13.6 million.

 

5. Warrants and Warrant Liability

 

As of March 31, 2022, NextNav had 18,749,990 warrants outstanding including: (a) 9,999,990 public warrants sold in connection with Spartacus’ initial public offering (the “Public Warrants”) and (b) 8,750,000 warrants issued in a private placement on the initial public offering closing date (the “Private Placement Warrants”).

 

Holders of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are entitled to acquire shares of common stock of NextNav. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination.

 

 

NextNav has the right to redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sales price of the Company’s common stock matched or exceeded $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which NextNav sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

The Private Placement Warrants are identical in all respects to the Public Warrants except that, so long as they are held by the current holder or its permitted transferees: (i) they will not be redeemable by NextNav; (ii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (iii) they are subject to registration rights.

 

6. Fair Value

 

NextNav uses observable and unobservable inputs to determine the value of its assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. The three-tier hierarchy for inputs used to measure fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the methodologies of measuring fair value for assets and liabilities, where applicable, is as follows:

 

- Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

- Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

 

- Level 3 — No observable pricing inputs in the market

 

Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. NextNav’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. NextNav effectuates transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, if any, as of the date of the actual circumstance that caused the transfer.

 

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
		(in thousands)
March 31, 2022
Warrants			—				—			$	22,488			$	22,488
December 31, 2021
Warrants			—				—			$	28,875			$	28,875

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, amounts included in other current assets, and current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

Assets, liabilities, and equity instruments that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include fixed assets and intangible assets. The Company recognizes these items at fair value when they are considered to be impaired or upon initial recognition. The fair value of these assets and liabilities are determined with valuation techniques using the best information available and may include quoted market prices, market comparables and discounted cash flow models.

 

 

Level 3 Liabilities

 

The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to assist with the fair value analysis of the warrants. The analysis used commonly accepted valuation methodologies and best practices to determine the fair value of the equity, in accordance with fair value standards and U.S. GAAP. For the Private Placement Warrants that were outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, NextNav used a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following table shows the assumptions used in each respective model:

 

		March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
		Values				Values
Stock Price		$	7.49			$	8.76
Strike price		$	11.50			$	11.50
Holding Period/Term (years)			4.58				4.80
Volatility			53.4	%			52.90	%
Expected dividends			None				None
Risk-Free Rate			2.43	%			1.23	%
Fair value of warrants		$	2.57			$	3.30

  

The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

Warrants:		(in thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2021		$	28,875
Fair value adjustment of Private Placement Warrants			(6,387	)
Balance as of March 31, 2022		$	22,488

 

7. Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Units

 

The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity reflect the Business Combination as of October 28, 2021. As Holdings was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, all periods prior to the consummation date reflect the balances and activity of Holdings. The balances as of March 31, 2022 and 2021 and December 31, 2021 and 2020 from the financial statements of Holdings as of that date, share activity (redeemable preferred units, common units, additional paid in capital, and accumulated deficit) and per share amounts were retroactively adjusted, where applicable.

 

Common Stock

 

As of March 31, 2022, NextNav had authorized the issuance of 600,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value, $0.0001 per share, consisting of (a) 500,000,000 shares of common stock and (b) 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. As of March 31, 2022, NextNav had 96,553,946 shares of common stock issued and 96,553,773 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Holdings’ Convertible Preferred Units

 

Below is historical summary information of Class C Redeemable Preferred Units and Class D Redeemable Preferred Units (collectively, Preferred Units) rights of Holdings.

 

Cumulative Preferred Return — Class C Redeemable Preferred Units and Class D Redeemable Preferred Units were entitled to cumulative preferred return whether or not declared at an annual rate of 8% and 10%, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the Class C Preferred Units had cumulative undeclared preferred returns of $6.0 million. As of December 31, 2020, the Class D Redeemable Preferred Units had cumulative undeclared preferred returns of $146.2 million.

 

Conversion — Preferred Units were convertible to Class A Common Units at any time at the option of the holder based on a stated conversion ratio. The initial conversion ratio was one Preferred Unit for one Class A Common Unit. The conversion ratio was subject to certain adjustments as defined in Holdings’ operating agreement. Preferred Units would automatically convert into Class A Common Units upon (i) in the case of the Class D Redeemable Preferred Units, the affirmative election of the holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding Class D Redeemable Preferred Units or (ii) in the case of the Class C Redeemable Preferred Units, the affirmative election of the holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding Class C Redeemable Preferred Units or (iii) a Public Offering (as defined in Holdings’ operating agreement) where gross proceeds were at least $75 million.

 

 

Voting — The holders of Preferred Units were entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of common units into which the shares of Preferred Units held by each holder were then convertible. In addition, certain actions required the affirmative approval of 66 2/3% of Class C Redeemable Preferred Units and Class D Redeemable Preferred Units (each voting as a separate class), including liquidation or dissolution of Holdings, creation of a senior class of units, payment of preferred return, increasing the authorized number of Common or Preferred Units, or amendment of Holdings’ operating agreement.

 

Redemption — The Class C Redeemable Preferred Units were redeemable by Holdings, at the request of the majority of the then-outstanding Class C Redeemable Preferred Unit holders, over a three-year period commencing on or after the date upon which no Class D Redeemable Preferred Units were outstanding, at a per unit price of $0.44, plus any accrued and unpaid preferred return, whether or not declared. The Class D Redeemable Preferred Units were redeemable by Holdings, at the request of the holders of 66 2/3% of the then-outstanding Class D Redeemable Preferred Unit holders, over a three-year period commencing on or after the later of September 1, 2021 and the date that was 91 days after the earlier of December 27, 2026 and the date upon which Holdings’ obligations under the senior secured loan facility (the “Financing Agreement”), which Holdings entered into in December 2019 and amended in June 2021 with Fortress Credit Corporation, were satisfied in full, provided that in either case neither a qualified offering or a capital transaction had occurred prior to such request, at a per unit price of $2.13 for units issued in 2012, $2.56 for units issued in 2014, $2.89 for units issued in September 2016, and $5.78 and $11.56 for units issued in December 2019, plus any accrued and unpaid preferred return, whether or not declared.

 

In connection with the Business Combination on October 28, 2021, all outstanding units of Holdings’ Class C Redeemable Preferred Units and Class D Redeemable Preferred Units converted into 5,365,566 and 42,286,068 shares of common stock of NextNav, respectively.

 

 8. Commitments and Contingencies

 

 From time to time, the Company may be party to litigation and other legal matters incidental to the conduct of its business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. The Company accrues liabilities for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was not involved in any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, which management believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

9. Income Taxes

 

The Company computes its year-to-date provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. A valuation allowance has been established against the Company’s U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, which results in an annualized effective tax rate for the Company’s U.S. operations of 0%. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.03 million on a pretax loss of $9.6 million related to foreign tax activity, resulting in an effective tax rate of (0.3)%. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.02 million on a pretax loss of $27.1 million related to foreign tax activity, resulting in an effective tax rate of (0.07)%. These effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowance against the Company’s domestic deferred tax assets.

 

10. Subsequent Events

 

The Company has completed an evaluation of all subsequent events through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure that these financial statements include appropriate disclosure of events both recognized in the financial statements and events which occurred but were not recognized in the financial statements. The Company has concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that require disclosure.  

 

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). Our 2021 Form 10-K includes additional information about our significant accounting policies, practices, and the transactions that underlie our financial results, as well as a detailed discussion of the most significant risks and uncertainties associated with our financial condition and operating results. In addition to historical financial information, some of the information contained in the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Actual results and outcomes could differ materially for a variety of reasons. You should review “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K for a discussion of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results described or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

 

Overview

 

We are the market leader in delivering next generation positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions that overcome the limitations of existing space-based GPS. The world increasingly requires more accurate and resilient PNT capabilities. Public safety, autonomous vehicles, electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (eVTOLs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and the app economy all require precise 3D location solutions. Paramedics need to know which apartment a 911 call originated from, ride hailing and delivery apps need to know precisely where you are standing and game developers need precise 3D location data to deliver a next generation augmented reality experience.

 

In early 2021, we launched the first element of our next generation GPS service through initial commercial service on our nationwide Pinnacle network that was deployed in partnership with AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T”). The Pinnacle network provides “floor-level” altitude detection to over 90% of commercial structures over three stories in the U.S., and is being utilized by FirstNet® for public safety, as well as a growing number of commercial apps and app development platforms, including Atlas Earth, Unity Engine, Eco3d, CRG, Qualcomm, and the Unreal Engine. In December 2021, we entered into an agreement with one of the nation’s largest wireless carriers to deliver vertical location for enhanced 911 (“E911”), using our Pinnacle 911 solution for all its customers. We believe that ramp up of services using our existing deployed network will support significant revenue growth over the coming years.

 

We will be extending our capabilities by expanding the deployment our TerraPoiNT system, which is a nationwide network that is designed to overcome the inherent limitations of traditional GPS. TerraPoiNT utilizes a network of specialized wide area location transmitters that broadcast an encrypted PNT signal on our licensed 900 MHz spectrum with a signal that is 100,000 times stronger than GPS. TerraPoiNT is well suited for urban and indoor environments where existing GPS signals are either distorted or blocked all together. In addition, TerraPoiNT provides redundancy for GPS, which is vulnerable to spoofing and jamming. GPS redundancy is increasingly a U.S. national security priority and is a rising priority in the other parts of the world. Critical infrastructure, including communications networks and power grids, require a reliable GPS signal for accurate timing. A failure of GPS would be catastrophic, and there is no back-up today.

 

Since the inception of NextNav, LLC in 2007, we have acquired and own valuable Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) licenses covering approximately 93% of the U.S. population for a continuous 8 MHz band of 900 MHz spectrum, filed over 130 patents related to our systems and services, deployed the nationwide Pinnacle network and launched commercial service. In addition, we have deployed our TerraPoiNT solution in 51 markets, and TerraPoiNT received the highest scores in testing by the Department of Transportation of potential PNT back-up solutions.

 

The Business Combination; Public Company Costs

 

On October 28, 2021, we consummated the previously announced Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. As a result of the Business Combination, we changed our name to NextNav Inc., and certain blocker entities formed by Holdings equity holders, Holdings and the various operating subsidiaries of Holdings became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, with the equity holders of each of such blocker entities and Holdings and Spartacus’ stockholders becoming our stockholders. The Nasdaq ticker symbols for our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and warrants are “NN” and “NNAVW,” respectively. See Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

 

 

As a publicly traded company, we will continue to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees that Holdings has not previously incurred.

 

Key Components of Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

We have generated limited revenue since our inception. We derive our revenue from “floor-level” altitude location data, and related products and services as well as from PNT products and services. Our revenue includes revenue generated through services contracts with wireless carriers, services with applications developers, technology demonstration, assessment and support contracts with government customers, sales of equipment, and licensing of proprietary technology. We recognize revenue when an arrangement exists, services, equipment or access to licensed technology are delivered, the transaction price is determined, the arrangement has commercial substance, and collection of consideration is probable.

 

Operating Expense

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold (“COGS”) consist of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, and allocated facility costs for our operations and manufacturing teams. COGS also includes expenses for site leases, cost of equipment, and professional services related to the maintenance of the equipment at each leased site. We expect our operations costs to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in the expansion of our Pinnacle and TerraPoiNT networks in domestic U.S. and international markets.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, and allocated facility costs for our research and development functions. Research and development costs also include outside professional services for software and hardware development, cloud hosting costs, and software licensing costs. We expect our research and development costs to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research and development for our current products and future products.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, and allocated facility costs for our business development, marketing, corporate, executive, finance, legal, human resources, IT and other administrative functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include expenses for outside professional services, including legal, auditing and accounting services, recruitment expenses, travel expenses and certain non-income taxes, insurance and other administrative expenses.

 

We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we scale headcount with the growth of our business, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, and additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities, and other administrative and professional services. As a result, we expect our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars but may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue over time.

 

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense results from depreciation and amortization of our property and equipment and intangible assets that is recognized over their estimated useful lives.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense relates to interest on our senior secured loan facility, which was fully repaid in connection with closing of the Business Combination.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income (expense) consists of miscellaneous non-operating items, such as change in fair value of warrants and foreign currency gains (losses).

The increase was driven by increased revenue from technology and services contracts with commercial customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, one customer accounted for 97% of total revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 100% of total revenue.

 

Operating Expense

 

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) 

 

		Three months ended March 31,
		2022				2021				$ Change				% Change
		(in thousands)
COGS		$	3,037			$	7,398			$	(4,361	)			(58.9	)%

 

COGS decreased by $4.4 million, or 59%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a $5.3 million decrease in rent expense related to contingent rent recorded for warrants vested during the first quarter of 2021 and a $0.2 million decrease in outside consulting expenses. The decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million in stock-based compensation, an increase of $0.4 million in maintenance and operational cost, and an increase of $0.1 million in payroll-related expenses driven by annual bonus.

 

Research and Development

 

		Three months ended March 31,
		2022				2021				$ Change				% Change
		(in thousands)
Research and development		$	3,988			$	2,383			$	1,605				67.4	%

 

Research and development expenses increased by $1.6 million, or 67%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.6 million increase in stock-based compensation, a $0.2 million increase in payroll-related expenses driven by annual bonus, and a $0.1 million increase in software license expenses. The increases were partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in outside consulting expenses.

		(in thousands)
Selling, general and administrative		$	9,340			$	2,737			$	6,603				241.2	%

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.6 million, or 241%, to $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a $4.5 million increase in stock-based compensation, a $0.9 million increase in directors’ and officers’ insurance, a $0.7 million increase in professional services, a $0.6 million increase in payroll-related expenses driven by headcount and annual bonus, and a $0.2 million increase in marketing and recruiting cost. The increase was partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in software license and outside consulting expenses.  

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

		Three months ended March 31,
		2022				2021				$ Change				% Change
		(in thousands)
Depreciation and amortization		$	882			$	343			$	539				157.1	%

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 157%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily attributable to placing the Pinnacle and TerraPoiNT network assets in service since the first quarter of 2021.

 

Interest Expense

 

		Three months ended March 31,
		2022				2021				$ Change				% Change
		(in thousands)
Interest expense		$	-			$	2,781			$	(2,781	)			(100	)%

 

Interest expense decreased by $2.8 million, or 100%, to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in interest expense is driven by full repayment of debt as a part of the Business Combination in the fourth quarter of 2021. 

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

		Three months ended March 31,
		2022				2021				$ Change				% Change
		(in thousands)
Other income (expense)		$	6,371			$	(11,662	)		$	(18,033	)			154.6	%

 

 

Other income was $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with other expenses of $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The changes in other income were primarily driven by the change in the fair value of warrants.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred losses since our inception and to date have generated only limited revenue. Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, we had funded our operations primarily through the issuances of convertible preferred units and through borrowing under an existing senior secured loan facility (the “Financing Agreement”), which Holdings entered into in December 2019 and amended in June 2021 with Fortress Credit Corporation (“Fortress Facility”).

 

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (See Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information), all amounts outstanding under the Financing Agreement were repaid and the Financing Agreement was terminated. As a result, we had no debt outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred net losses of $9.7 million and $27.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our net cash used in operating activities and investing activities was $6.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, our net cash used in operating activities and investing activities was $8.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $93.8 million and an accumulated deficit of $658.0 million. We expect to incur additional losses and higher operating expenses for the foreseeable future. Our primary uses of cash are to fund our operations as we continue to grow our business. We will require a significant amount of cash for expenditures as we invest in ongoing research and development and the expansion of the TerraPoiNT network. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for the next 12 months.

 

Pandemic Impact

 

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As such, it is not possible to determine the duration and scope of the pandemic, the scale and rate of economic recovery from the pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and labor availability and costs, or the impact of other indirect factors that may be attributable to the pandemic, and the extent to which these or other currently unanticipated consequences of the pandemic are reasonably likely to materially affect our results of operations. In addition, these direct and indirect factors can make it difficult to isolate and quantify the portion of our costs that are a direct result of the pandemic and costs arising from factors that may have been influenced by the pandemic, including increased wage rates and incentives resulting from constrained labor markets and global supply chain constraints. Management continues to actively monitor our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry and workforce. We expect these factors and their effects on our operations to continue through the remainder of 2022.

 

Cash Flows

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the period indicated:

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2022				2021
		(in thousands)
Net cash (used in) operating activities		$	(6,097	)		$	(8,454	)
Net cash (used in) investing activities			(208	)			(911	)
Net cash provided by financing activities			25				8,067

 

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Our cash flows used in operating activities are significantly affected by the growth of our business and are primarily related to research and development, sales and marketing, and selling, general and administrative activities. Our operating cash flows are also affected by our working capital needs to support growth in personnel-related expenditures and fluctuations in accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities.

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $6.1 million, resulting primarily from a net loss of $9.7 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $7.2 million for stock-based compensation, $0.9 million for depreciation and amortization, and non-cash income of $6.4 million for change in the fair value of warrant liability. Additionally, there was a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $1.9 million.

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $8.5 million, resulting primarily from a net loss of $27.1 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $11.7 million for change in the fair value of warrant liability, $5.3 million for contingent rent expense, $1.2 million for interest expense, $0.3 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.2 million for amortization of debt issuances costs, $0.4 million for stock-based compensation, and a decrease of $0.5 million in operating assets and liabilities.

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to Item 7 under Part II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as of March 31, 2022 as outlined in our 2021 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2022.

 

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

 

For information regarding new accounting pronouncements, and the impact of these pronouncements on our condensed consolidated financial statements, refer to Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

There have been no material changes in our market risks from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of the 2021 Form 10-K.

 

Item 4. Controls And Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of March 31, 2022.

   

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

As discussed in Part II, Item 9A of the 2021 Form 10-K, in accordance with a transition period set for newly public companies established by the SEC, the design and ongoing development of our framework for implementation and evaluation of internal control over financial reporting is ongoing. Accordingly, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include disclosure related to any changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

        

In the course of our business, we are involved in litigation and legal matters from time to time. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. We accrue liabilities for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Our business is subject to risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our securities. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”), as supplemented by the following updated risk factor.

 

Military action in Ukraine, including the resulting geopolitical effects beyond Ukraine, may directly or indirectly increase our risks from supply chain, cybersecurity, foreign currency fluctuations, or other factors.

 

The Russian invasion and resulting military action in Ukraine has resulted in worldwide geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. The United States and others have imposed financial and economic sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in and associated with Russia and Belarus, and additional sanctions continue to be proposed and adopted. The military action in Ukraine and the sanctions against Russia resulting from such conflict may increase the likelihood of supply chain interruptions, cybersecurity incidents, disruptions to our information systems, foreign currency fluctuations, or other risks. While we do not currently expect the conflict to have a direct material impact on our business, it is not possible to predict the broader consequences, which could include additional sanctions, embargoes, regional instability, geopolitical shifts and adverse effects on the global economy or on our business and operations, as well as those of our customers, partners and third-party service providers. Further, the effects of the ongoing conflict could serve to heighten many of the known risks we described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the 2021 Form 10-K.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

(a) Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities during the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
