Intuitive Machines Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results; Posts Record Quarterly Revenue, Gross Margin, and Positive Adjusted EBITDA along with Record Quarter-end Backlog of $1.1 Billion

Houston, TX, May 14, 2026 -- Intuitive Machines, Inc. (Nasdaq: LUNR, “Intuitive Machines,” or the “Company”), a

leading space technology and infrastructure services company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus said, “Intuitive Machines continues to execute, grow, and win new business at record pace. Our acquisition of Lanteris has been immediately accretive with the combined entity already creating value.”

•Closed $800 million acquisition of Lanteris Space Systems to become a vertically integrated next-generation space prime contractor for commercial, civil and national security space initiatives

•Signed definitive agreement in Q2 to acquire Goonhilly Earth Station and its COMSAT subsidiary to a create a space‑to‑ground data services network configured to support missions across LEO, MEO, GEO, cislunar, and deep space environments for communications, navigation, and data processing

•Awarded $428.9 million in new contracts driven primarily by Space Development Agency Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture tranche 3 tracking layer and $180.4 million CLPS contract from NASA; this marks Intuitive Machines’ fifth CLPS task order, the most among all CLPS vendors and the first to require our larger cargo class (Nova-D) lunar lander

•Contracted with U.S. Space Force in Q2 as a part of the Andromeda IDIQ contract with an anticipated ceiling value of $6.2 billion to expand space domain awareness capabilities through a constellation of maneuverable satellites designed to observe and track activity in geosynchronous orbit; the first revenue synergy award to combine Intuitive Machines and Lanteris capabilities

•Submitted proposals for CLPS and LTV in support of NASA’s Ignition initiative priorities; awaiting award decisions in the coming weeks while additional proposals are underway for CLPS 2.0, Space Reactor‑1 Freedom, and other Moon base infrastructure initiatives

Financial Highlights

•Achieved record quarterly revenue of $186.7 million, nearly 3x of prior year driven by the Lanteris acquisition along with continued CLPS, OMES, and NSNS execution; Lanteris acquisition closed on January 13, 2026; reported Q1 revenue does not include 12 days of Lanteris, which was approximately $13 million

•Reported record profitability with $2.7 million positive Adjusted EBITDA

•Ended Q1 with record backlog of $1.1 billion, an $842 million increase from year-end 2025 driven primarily by the acquisition of Lanteris along with Intuitive Machines’ fifth CLPS task order

Mr. Altemus continued, “The next phase of the space economy will not be defined only by who reaches new destinations. It will be defined by who can build the infrastructure, connect it reliably, and operate it at scale. That is what Intuitive Machines is building.”

•Full-year 2026 revenue of $900 million - $1 billion

•Full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA positive

Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and constitute “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by the SEC. This includes adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management team uses to assess the Company’s operating performance and is calculated as net income (loss) excluding results from non-operating sources including interest income, interest expense, transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, gain on extinguishing of debt, share-based compensation, change in fair value instruments, gain or loss on issuance of securities, other income/expense, depreciation, impairment of property and equipment, and provision for income taxes. Intuitive Machines has included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in the Company’s operating results and because it is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical measure, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Other companies, including companies in Intuitive Machines’ industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included below under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”

We define free cash flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations that, after purchases of property and equipment, can be used for strategic initiatives, including continuous investment in our business and strengthening our balance sheet. Free Cash Flow has limitations as a liquidity measure, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Free Cash Flow is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP; Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences among methods of calculation; and Free Cash Flow may be affected in the near to medium term by the timing of capital investments, fluctuations in our growth and the effect of such fluctuations on working capital and changes in our cash conversion cycle. A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included below under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”

The Company has also included contracted backlog, which is defined as the total estimate of the revenue the Company expects to realize in the future as a result of performing work on awarded contracts, less the amount of revenue the Company has previously recognized. Intuitive Machines monitors its backlog because we believe it is a forward-looking indicator of potential sales which can be helpful to investors in evaluating the performance of its business and identifying trends over time.

Free Cash Flow has limitations as a liquidity measure, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

•Free Cash Flow is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

•Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences among methods of calculation.

•Free Cash Flow may be affected in the near to medium term by the timing of capital investments, fluctuations in our growth and the effect of such fluctuations on working capital and changes in our cash conversion cycle.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash used in operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, to free cash flow:
