Overview
We are the market leader in delivering next generation PNT solutions that overcome the limitations of existing space-based GPS. Our solutions are built on a robust asset platform including 8MHz of nearly nationwide wireless spectrum in the 900MHz band, intellectual property and deployed network systems. 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.
In early 2021, we launched the first element of our next generation GPS service, through initial commercial availability of our nationwide Pinnacle network, deployed in partnership with AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T”). The Pinnacle network provides “floor-level” altitude data to over 90% of commercial structures over three stories in the U.S. Pinnacle is being utilized by FirstNet® for public safety. We are currently providing services to Verizon Communications, Inc. (“Verizon”) as a customer for enhanced 911 (“E911”) services, using our Pinnacle 911 solution, and service is being provided to handsets operating on other national wireless carrier networks. Pinnacle has also been adopted by a growing number of public safety apps, commercial apps and app development platforms, including CRG, GeoComm, Rapid Deploy, Central Square, NGA 911,and Qualcomm. We believe that ramp up of customers using our existing Pinnacle network will support revenue growth over the coming years.
We will be extending our capabilities by expanding the deployment of our TerraPoiNT system, which is a nationwide network that is designed to overcome the inherent limitations of traditional GPS. TerraPoiNT includes a network of specialized wide area location transmitters that broadcast an encrypted PNT signal on our licensed 900MHz LMS 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 system today.
Since the inception of NextNav, LLC in 2007, we have secured valuable FCC licenses covering over 90% of the U.S. population for a continuous 8MHz band of nearly nationwide 900MHz spectrum, filed more than 175 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 88 markets, and TerraPoiNT received the highest scores in testing by the U.S. Department of Transportation of potential PNT back-up solutions.
In October 2022, we acquired Nestwave SAS (“Nestwave”). We expect the integration of the Nestwave technology to significantly reduce the capital and operating expenditures associated with a national deployment of a TerraPoiNT network. In addition, Nestwave’s technology could result in a significant improvement in the spectral efficiency of our radio transmissions, which may allow us to offer an expanded suite of PNT and data services.
Macroeconomic Factors
We are aware that network deployment projects are experiencing delays in schedules and potential cost increases due to a tight labor supply in the field services market. While the impact of this supply constraint is not material to our network projects at this time, we continue to carefully manage labor and materials supply matters. Additionally, there is an increased risk of financial market disruption. Management continues to actively monitor our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry and workforce. We expect these macroeconomic factors and their effects on our operations to continue through the remainder of 2023.
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 other 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 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, subject to underlying variability in stock-based compensation, 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 Income (Expense)
Interest income consists of interest earned from our cash and cash equivalents balance and on marketable securities. Interest expense relates to interest and amortization of debt discounts on our senior secured notes.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists of miscellaneous non-operating items, such as change in fair value of warrants, equity method income (loss), and foreign currency gains (losses).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred losses since our inception and to date have generated only limited revenue. We have primarily relied upon debt and equity financings to fund our cash requirements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred net losses of $55.3 million and $27.6 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net cash used in operating activities and investing activities was $24.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our net cash used in operating activities and investing activities was $25.2 million and $11.3 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $97.1 million and an accumulated deficit of $743.8 million. We expect to incur additional losses and higher operating expenses for the foreseeable future. Our primary use of cash is 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.
Managing liquidity and our cash position is a priority of ours. We continually work to optimize our expenses in light of the growth of our business, and adapt to changes in the economic environment. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2023 will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs, including all contractual commitments, beyond the next 12 months. We believe we will meet longer term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of our existing cash and cash equivalents balances and marketable securities, cash flows from operations, and issuance of equity securities or debt offerings. However, this determination is based upon internal projections and is subject to changes in market and business conditions.
In 2023, we issued $70.0 million senior secured notes with a fixed interest rate of 10% to the Lenders. The Notes will mature on December 1, 2026 with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. We may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay up to 50% of the accrued and unpaid interest on the senior secured notes due with its common stock. Refer to Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
