Organization and Business |
Organization and Business | 1. Organization and Business Principal Business NextNav Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “NextNav” or the “Company”) deliver next generation positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions built on a robust asset platform, including 8MHz of nearly nationwide wireless spectrum in the 900MHz band, intellectual property and deployed network systems. The Company’s Pinnacle system provides “floor-level” altitude service to any device with a barometric pressure sensor, including most off-the-shelf Android and iOS smartphones. The Company’s TerraPoiNT system is a terrestrial-based, encrypted network designed to overcome the limitations inherent in the space-based nature of global positioning system (“GPS”) through a network of specialized wide area location transmitters that broadcasts an encrypted PNT signal over the Company’s licensed spectrum. Since its inception, NextNav has incurred recurring losses and generated negative cash flows from operations and has primarily relied upon debt and equity financings to fund its cash requirements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred net losses of $55.3 million and $27.6 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $24.6 million and $25.2 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities was $97.1 million. The Company’s primary use of cash is to fund operations as NextNav continues to grow. The Company expects to incur additional losses and higher operating expenses for the foreseeable future, specifically as NextNav invests in ongoing research and development and the expansion of the TerraPoiNT network. Ma naging liquidity and the Company’s cash position is a priority of the Company. The Company continually works to optimize its expenses in light of the growth of its business and adapt to changes in the economic environment. The Company believes that the cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2023 will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs, including all contractual commitments, beyond the next 12 months. The Company believes it will meet longer term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of its 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.
