Action:Reiterated
Date:06/09/26
The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance—persistent losses, cash burn, and negative equity—despite strong revenue growth. Offsetting this, the earnings call was notably positive with reiterated high 2026 guidance and backlog support, while technicals and valuation remain mixed and higher-risk.
Positive Factors
Large Contract Backlog & Awards
A $1.1B backlog with management expecting 60–65% to convert in 2026 provides durable revenue visibility and cadence. Coupled with material new bookings this quarter, the backlog underpins production planning, cash flow timing, and multi-quarter revenue conversion risk reduction.
Negative Factors
Stressed Balance Sheet
Persistent negative equity and sharply higher debt undermine financial flexibility and increase refinancing, covenant, and dilution risk. A capital-structure deficit reduces resilience to contract timing slips and raises funding costs for multi-year constellation and infrastructure investments.

Revenue by Segment
Breaks down revenue across the company's business lines — for Intuitive Machines that typically means government/NASA contracts, commercial mission services, spacecraft hardware, and engineering/software services — showing which parts drive sales and margins. For investors, segment detail reveals how much revenue is milestone-driven and lumpy versus potentially recurring, highlights single-customer or program concentration, and signals sensitivity to launch schedules, technical delays, or contract timing. Tracking shifts between segments helps assess growth sustainability, margin trends, and the company's ability to diversify risk beyond one-off missions.

Intuitive Machines Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 14, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 18, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents a strongly positive operational and commercial narrative—record revenue, large backlog, major contract awards (including a $6.24B Andromeda IDIQ), and the successful integration of Lanteris have materially improved margin profile and produced positive adjusted EBITDA. These positives are tempered by significant one-time acquisition and integration costs, a wider GAAP operating loss, negative free cash flow for the quarter, and pending award timing that creates near-term uncertainty. Management expects many of the one-time costs to normalize and retains 2026 revenue and profitability guidance backed by backlog, supporting a constructive outlook.Positive Updates
Record Quarterly Revenue
Q1 revenue of $186.7 million (reported as $187M), ~3x Q1 2025 (approximately +200% year-over-year), driven by satellite manufacturing, CLPS missions, OMES and NSNS programs.
Negative Updates
Operating Loss Widened
Operating loss was $39.2 million in Q1 versus $10.1 million in Q1 2025 (deterioration of ~$29.1 million), driven by acquisition-related transaction and integration costs, amortization and investments.

Company Guidance
Management reiterated 2026 guidance of $900 million–$1.0 billion in revenue and continued to expect positive adjusted EBITDA for the full year; that outlook is supported by a record Q1 (revenue $186.7M, ~3x Q1 2025, excluding ~ $13M from 12 days of Lanteris), gross profit $30.1M (vs $6.7M), positive adjusted EBITDA $2.7M (vs -$6.6M), operating loss $39.2M, SG&A $50.7M (including ~$20M one‑time acquisition/integration costs and $6.3M quarterly Lanteris share‑based comp), R&D $5.6M, and a record $1.1B backlog (>$400M in new bookings) with ~60–65% expected to convert to 2026 revenue and ~35–40% in 2027+. The company finished Q1 with $232M cash after using ~$403M on the Lanteris acquisition (and a $175M capital raise), reported operating cash used $54.8M, CapEx $9.9M (free cash flow -$64.6M), said CapEx will grow to fund a five‑satellite lunar constellation and ground segment, and expects free cash flow to normalize as one‑time costs subside.Intuitive Machines Financial Statement Overview
