Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning us and other matters. These statements may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to management.

Forward-looking statements may be accompanied by words such as “achieve,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “grow,” “increase,” “intend,” “may,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strategy,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or similar words, phrases, or expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

•any delay in completing the flight test program and final development of our spaceflight fleet, which is comprised of our spaceship, VSS Unity, and our mothership carrier aircraft, VMS Eve;

•our ability to successfully develop our next generation vehicles, and the time and costs associated with doing so;

•our ability to conduct test flights;

•the safety of our spaceflight systems;

•the development of the markets for commercial human spaceflight and commercial research and development payloads;

•our ability to effectively market and sell human spaceflights;

•our ability to convert our backlog or inbound inquiries into revenue;

•our anticipated full passenger capacity;

•our ability to achieve or maintain profitability;

•delay in development or the manufacture of spaceflight systems;

•our ability to supply our technology to additional market opportunities;

•our expected capital requirements and the availability of additional financing;

•our ability to attract or retain highly qualified personnel;

•the effect of terrorist activity, armed conflict, including any escalation of hostility arising out of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, natural disasters or pandemic diseases, including without limitation the COVID-19 pandemic, on the economy generally, and on our future financial or operational results, and our access to additional financing;

•consumer preferences and discretionary purchasing activity, which can be significantly adversely affected by unfavorable economic or market conditions;

•extensive and evolving government regulation that impact the way we operate;

•risks associated with international expansion;

•our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure and procedures; and

•our ability to continue to use, maintain, enforce, protect and defend our owned and licensed intellectual property, including the Virgin brand.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries ("Virgin Galactic" or the "Company"), is focused on the development, manufacture and operation of spaceships and related technologies for the purpose of conducting commercial human spaceflight and flying commercial research and development payloads into space.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in management's opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

(2) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The Company maintains certain cash balances restricted as to withdrawal or use. Restricted cash consists of cash deposits received from future astronauts that are contractually restricted for operational use until the condition of carriage is signed or the deposits are refunded.

(7) Convertible Senior Notes

On January 19, 2022, the Company completed an offering of $425 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes (the "2027 Notes"). The 2027 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.50% per year. Interest is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2022. The 2027 Notes mature on February 1, 2027 unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

The net carrying value of the 2027 Notes is as follows:


	March 31, 2023
	(In thousands)
Principal	$	425,000
Less: unamortized debt issuance costs	8,745
Net carrying amount	$	416,255

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $3.2 million of interest expense on the 2027 Notes, including $0.5 million of amortized debt issuance costs.

(8) Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $128,000 and $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective income tax rate was nil for three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

(9) Stockholders' Equity

On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a distribution agency agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (each, an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”) providing for the offer and sale of up to $300 million of shares of the Company's common stock from time to time through the Agents, acting as sales agents, or directly to one or more of the Agents, acting as principal, through an "at the market offering" program (the "2022 ATM program").

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold 5.8 million shares of common stock under the 2022 ATM program, generating $32.0 million in gross proceeds, before deducting $0.3 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.

Since inception and through March 31, 2023, the Company sold a total of 22.0 million shares of common stock under the 2022 ATM program, generating $135.4 million in gross proceeds, before deducting $1.4 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.

(10) Earnings Per Share

The following table presents net loss per share and related information:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
	(In thousands, except per share amounts)
Basic and diluted:
Net loss	$	(159,385)	$	(93,057)
Weighted average common shares outstanding	278,450		258,288
Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(0.57)	$	(0.36)

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share excludes the effect of all potential common shares outstanding as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company has excluded stock-based awards and shares issuable upon conversion of the 2027 Notes from the diluted loss per share calculation because their effect was anti-dilutive. The total number of shares excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were 47.2 million and 42.2 million, respectively.

(11) Stock-Based Compensation

Pursuant to the 2019 Incentive Award Plan ("2019 Plan"), the Company has the ability to grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees, directors and other service providers. Performance stock units ("PSUs") are RSUs that vest based on achievement of specified performance criteria. Performance stock options ("PSOs") are stock options that vest based on achievement of specified performance criteria.

A summary of the components of stock-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss is as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
	(in thousands)
Stock option and PSO expense:

Selling, general and administrative	$	1,638	$	1,722
Research and development	533		689
Total stock option and PSO expense	2,171		2,411

RSU and PSU expense:

Selling, general and administrative	8,322		5,555
Research and development	2,483		2,929
Total RSU and PSU expense	10,805		8,484
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	12,976	$	10,895

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $8.0 million for stock options and $0.2 million for PSOs. These amounts are expected to be recognized over weighted-average periods of 0.9 years and 0.2 years, respectively. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense as of March 31, 2023 for RSUs and PSUs totaled $74.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively, which are expected to be recognized over weighted-average periods of 1.3 years and 1.4 years, respectively.

(12) Fair Value Measurements

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company estimates fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which is categorized in one of the following levels:

•Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date;

•Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

•Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following tables present the Company's financial assets that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated among the appropriate levels within the fair value hierarchy:

(13) Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company has certain non-cancelable operating leases primarily for its premises. These leases generally contain renewal options for periods ranging from 3 to 20 years and require the Company to pay all executory costs, such as maintenance and insurance. Certain lease arrangements have rent free periods or escalating payment provisions, and the Company recognizes rent expense for such arrangements on a straight line basis.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) and future minimum finance lease payments as of March 31, 2023 are as follows:


	Operating Leases		Finance Leases
	(In thousands)
2023 (for the remaining period)	$	7,176	$	213
2024	10,074		211
2025	10,190		182
2026	10,347		131
2027	10,313		16
Thereafter	61,216		6
Total payments	109,316		759
Less: present value discount/imputed interest	49,461		137
Present value of lease liabilities	$	59,855	$	622

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company applies accounting for contingencies to determine when and how much to accrue for and disclose related to legal and other contingencies. Accordingly, the Company discloses contingencies deemed to be reasonably possible and accrues loss contingencies when, in consultation with legal advisors, it is concluded that a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Although the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters is subject to many uncertainties and is therefore not predictable with assurance, management believes that any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company from these matters, individually and in the aggregate, beyond that provided at March 31, 2023, would not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance with respect to such result, and monetary liability or financial impact to the Company from legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims could differ materially from those projected.

Lavin v. the Company

On May 28, 2021, a class action complaint was filed against the Company in the Eastern District of New York captioned Lavin v. Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc., Case No. 1:21-cv-03070. In September 2021, the Court appointed Robert Scheele and Mark Kusnier as co-lead plaintiffs for the purported class. Co-lead plaintiffs amended the complaint in December 2021, asserting violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a) and 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased the Company's common stock between July 10, 2019 and October 14, 2021.

The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose certain information regarding the safety of the Company's ships and success of its commercial flight program. Co-lead plaintiffs seek damages, interest, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, and other unspecified equitable relief. The defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint and, on November 7, 2022, the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion and gave the plaintiffs leave to file a further amended complaint. Plaintiffs’ filed a second amended complaint on December 12, 2022. The second amended complaint contains many of the same allegations as in the first amended complaint. The defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on February 24, 2023 and their motion will be fully briefed as of May 5, 2023. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against this matter.

Spiteri, Grenier, Laidlaw, St. Jean, and D. Abughazaleh derivatively on behalf of the Company vs. Certain Current and Former Officers and Directors

On February 21, 2022, March 1, 2022, September 21, 2022, and December 13, 2022, four alleged shareholders filed separate derivative complaints purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its current and former officers and directors in the Eastern District of New York captioned Spiteri v. Branson et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00933, Grenier v. Branson et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-01100, Laidlaw v. Branson et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-05634, and St. Jean v. Branson et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-7551, respectively. On February 13, 2023, an alleged shareholder filed a derivative complaint purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its current and former officers and directors in the District of Delaware captioned Abughazaleh v. Branson et al., Case No. 23-cv-00156. Collectively, the complaints assert violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 21D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and claims of breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, contribution and indemnification, and unjust enrichment arising from substantially similar allegations as those contained in the securities class action described above. The complaints seek an unspecified sum of damages, interest, restitution, expenses, attorneys’ fees and other equitable relief. The cases are at a preliminary stage.

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

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” "Virgin Galactic," “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto, and the discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K"). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. is an aerospace and space travel company offering access to space for private individuals, researchers and government agencies. Our missions include flying passengers to space as tourists, as well as flying scientific payloads and researchers to space in order to conduct experiments for scientific and educational purposes. Our operations include the design and development, manufacturing, ground and flight testing, and post-flight maintenance of our spaceflight system vehicles. Our spaceflight system is developed using our proprietary technology and processes and is focused on providing space experiences for private astronauts, researcher flights and professional astronaut training. We have also leveraged our knowledge and expertise in manufacturing spaceships to occasionally perform engineering services for third parties, such as research, design, development, manufacturing and integration of advanced technology systems.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in Part 1, Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K titled “Risk Factors.”

Commercial Launch of Our Human Spaceflight Program

We are the first spaceline to receive Federal Aviation Administration approval to carry commercial customers to space. This was through an update to our existing commercial spaceflight license which we have held since 2016. We are in the final phases of developing our commercial spaceflight program. Prior to launch of commercial service, we must complete a period of planned maintenance and enhancements to the vehicles, as well as subsequent vehicle flight testing. Commercial service is currently expected to commence in the second quarter of 2023. We continuously monitor our supply chain for potential risk associated with the delivery of materials from our suppliers, which in turn could impact the schedule for completion of the enhancement period and the start of commercial service. We have identified some areas of risk for timely delivery and continue to work on mitigating these identified risks. Any delays in successful completion of our test flight program, whether due to supply chain issues, general macroeconomic factors or otherwise, will impact our ability to generate revenue from human spaceflight.

Customer Demand

While not yet in commercial service for human spaceflight, we have already received significant interest from potential future astronauts. Going forward, we expect the size of our backlog and the number of future astronauts that have flown to space on our spaceflight system to be an important indicator of our future performance. As of March 31, 2023, we had reservations for space flights for approximately 800 future astronauts. In August 2021, following Sir Richard Branson's successful test flight, we reopened ticket sales to a select group and increased the pricing of our consumer offerings to a base price of $450,000 per seat. In February 2022, we opened ticket sales to the general public. We are reserving our first 100 seats within our first 1,000 commercial seats sold for research and scientific experiments. As of March 31, 2023, the tickets sold represent approximately $211 million in expected future spaceflight revenue upon completion of space flights.

Table of Contents

Available Capacity and Annual Flight Rate

We expect to commence commercial operations with a single spaceship, VSS Unity, and a single mothership carrier aircraft, VMS Eve, which together comprise our only spaceflight system. As a result, our annual flight rate will be constrained by the availability and capacity of this spaceflight system. Additionally, we may commence commercial operations while temporarily assigning one of the four passenger seats in VSS Unity to be occupied by one of our employees to gather input about the experience in order to help us create a better experience for our customers in the long-term. To reduce the capacity constraint associated with having only one spaceflight system, we are currently developing our next generation spaceflight vehicles, which include our Delta class spaceships and our next generation motherships, which will allow us to increase our annual flight rate. We believe that expanding the fleet will allow us to increase our annual flight rate once commercialization is achieved. We are dedicating significant engineering resources to the work that precedes production of the future fleet. Simultaneously, we are focused on the launch and flight consistency of Unity and Eve to begin bringing our customers to space and to demonstrate the value of our product.

Safety Performance of Our Spaceflight Systems

Our spaceflight systems are highly specialized with sophisticated and complex technology. We have built operational processes to ensure that the design, manufacture, performance and servicing of our spaceflight systems meet rigorous quality standards. However, our spaceflight systems are still subject to operational and process risks, such as manufacturing and design issues, human errors, or cyber-attacks. Any actual or perceived safety issues may result in significant reputational harm to our business and our ability to generate human spaceflight revenue.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $136.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and consisted primarily of $159.4 million of net losses, adjusted for non-cash items, which primarily included stock-based compensation expense of $13.0 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $3.2 million, as well as $6.8 million of cash provided from changes in working capital.

Net cash used in operating activities was $66.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and consisted primarily of $93.1 million of net losses, adjusted for non-cash items, which primarily included stock-based compensation expense of $10.9 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $2.9 million, as well as $12.8 million of cash provided from changes in working capital.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $219.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and consisted of $305.8 million in proceeds from maturities and calls of marketable securities, partially offset by $83.3 million in purchases of marketable securities and $2.8 million in capital expenditures.

Net cash used in investing activities was $206.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and consisted of $204.9 million in purchases of marketable securities and $1.8 million in capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $29.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and consisted primarily of net cash proceeds from the sale and issuance of common stock of $31.7 million, partially offset by tax withholdings paid for net settled stock-based awards of $1.9 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $359.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and consisted primarily of the issuance of the 2027 Notes for net proceeds of $413.8 million, partially offset by the purchase of the capped call related to the 2027 Notes of $52.3 million and tax withholdings paid for net settled stock-based awards of $1.9 million.

Funding Requirements

We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to advance the development of our spaceflight system and the commercialization of our human spaceflight operations. In addition, we expect our operating expenses to increase significantly as we commence commercial operations and add additional spaceships to our operating fleet.

Specifically, our operating expenses will increase as we:

•scale up our manufacturing processes and capabilities to support expanding our fleet with additional spaceships, carrier aircraft and rocket motors upon commercialization;

•pursue further research and development on our future human spaceflights, including those related to our research and education efforts on point-to-point travel;

•hire additional personnel in research and development, manufacturing operations, testing programs, maintenance operations and guest services as we increase the volume of our spaceflights upon commercialization;

•seek regulatory approval for any changes, upgrades or improvements to our spaceflight technologies and operations in the future, especially upon commercialization;

•maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;

•establish our astronaut campus in New Mexico; and

•hire additional personnel in management to support the expansion of our operational, financial, information technology, and other areas to support our operations as a public company.

Table of Contents

We expect our arrangements with third-party providers, including under our Master Agreements with Aurora Flight Sciences Corporation (“Aurora"), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company, for the design and manufacture of our next generation of carrier aircraft and Bell Textron Inc. ("Bell") and Qarbon Aerospace ("Qarbon") to manufacture key subassemblies for our next generation spaceships, will require significant capital expenditures from us. Certain estimated amounts in connection with third-party arrangements are subject to future negotiations and cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty. Although we believe that our current capital is adequate to sustain our operations for at least the next twelve months, changing circumstances may cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more money than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control. Additionally, we are in the final phases of developing our commercial spaceflight program. While we anticipate initial commercial launch with a single spaceship, we currently have additional spaceship vehicles under construction. We anticipate the costs to manufacture additional vehicles will begin to decrease as we continue to scale up our manufacturing processes and capabilities. Until we achieve technological feasibility with our spaceflight systems, we will not capitalize expenditures incurred to construct any additional components of our spaceflight systems and we will continue to expense these costs as incurred to research and development.

Issuances of Common Stock

On August 4, 2022, we entered into a distribution agency agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (each, an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”) providing for the offer and sale of up to $300 million of shares of our common stock from time to time through the Agents, acting as sales agents, or directly to one or more of the Agents, acting as principal, through an "at the market offering" program (the "2022 ATM program").

Since inception and through March 31, 2023, we sold a total of 22.0 million shares of common stock under the 2022 ATM program, generating $135.4 million in gross proceeds, before deducting $1.4 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

For at least the next twelve months, we expect our principal demand for funds will be for our ongoing activities described above. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily through our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity available to fund our business needs, commitments and contractual obligations for the next twelve months.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

Beyond the next twelve months, our principal demand for funds will be to sustain our operations, including the construction of additional motherships under an agreement with a third-party contractor, and spaceship vehicles, construction of our astronaut campus, expansion of the New Mexico Spaceport, and for the payment of the principal amount of our convertible senior notes as it becomes due. We expect to begin generating revenue from our human spaceflight program, which is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2023. To the extent this source of capital as well as the sources of capital described above are insufficient to meet our needs, we may also conduct additional offerings of our securities or refinance debt. We expect these resources will be adequate to fund our ongoing operating activities.

The commercial launch of our human spaceflight program and the anticipated expansion of our fleet have unpredictable costs and are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, that may affect the timing and magnitude of these anticipated expenditures. Some of these risk and uncertainties are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business.”

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Except as set forth in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations and commitments as described in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additionally, in some cases, we have entered arrangements with third-party providers for services, such as the design and manufacture of our next generation of carrier aircraft. The amounts we would pay under those arrangements will be significant but are not contractually committed until we execute specific task orders with the applicable counterparty, are subject to future negotiations and cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty.

Table of Contents

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements and, therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates compared to those previously disclosed in "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" included in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, there were no significant changes to our markets risks compared to those previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other proceedings may involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties, and could result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions or relief. However, we do not consider any such claims, lawsuits or proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our future operating results, financial condition or cash flows. See Note 13 in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described as risk factors, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual operating results and financial condition to vary materially from past, or anticipated future, operating results and financial condition. For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1. “Business,” Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” and Part II, Item 7. “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part I, Item 2. “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
