CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIDU) (the “Company” or “Sidus”), a Space and Data-as-a-Service satellite company, announces its financial results and is providing a business update for the third quarter ending September 30, 2023.

“We continue to move towards the launch of LizzieSat™ in 2024, hitting critical key milestones, as well as signing key revenue-generating contracts with customers,” said Carol Craig, Founder and CEO of Sidus. “We have developed a strong customer base who are ready to start receiving our AI-enhanced space data, that we believe will be transformative for both Sidus and the industry more broadly. As we get closer to initiating these launches, we continue to develop our high-margin revenue streams that focus on the sale of both data and payloads on these missions. We believe this will drive both revenue and profit margin over time, as well as value for our shareholders.”

  • Secured position on SpaceX Bandwagon mission, expected to launch in 2024.

  • Revenue totaled $986,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1.32 million for the same period in 2022. While total revenue declined period-over-period, primarily due to timing of fixed price milestone contracts, higher margin satellite revenue continued to increase.

  • Gross profit was a negative $96,281 or negative 10%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to negative $85,623 or negative 7% for the third quarter of 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 gross margin was 28% versus 25% for the same period last year with 5% higher gross profit on 7% lower sales. This reflects the impact of the increase in our higher margin satellite revenue.
