Email [email protected] Operator: Welcome to the Voyager Technologies Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to turn the call over to your first speaker today, Phil de Sousa, Voyager's Chief Financial Officer. Mr. De Sousa, the floor is yours. Filipe de Sousa: Thank you, and good morning, everyone. I'm joined today by Dylan Taylor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Today's call includes forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties detailed in our earnings materials and SEC filings, including the Risk Factors section of our annual report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to update these statements. We will also discuss non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of these measures is available in our earnings materials on our website. I'll now turn the call over to Dylan to begin with Slide 3. Dylan Taylor: Thank you, Phil, and good morning, everyone. Our record second quarter results further validate what we've been discussing with investors over the past year, that demand across defense modernization, national security and the rapidly expanding space economy continues to accelerate, and Voyager is increasingly converting that demand into measurable growth. This quarter was a decisive milestone. We delivered record revenue, record bookings and entered the second half with record backlog. We recently completed the acquisition of Astrobotic and are today raising our full year revenue guidance. Collectively, these achievements demonstrate the strength of our strategy, the quality of our execution and the increasing relevance of our technologies across some of the world's highest priority growth markets. Revenue reached a record $53 million, increasing 51% sequentially as programs continued that transition from development into production. Just as importantly, bookings accelerated to a record $113 million, driving backlog to a record $336 million and providing increased visibility into both the remainder of 2026 and 2027. Perhaps the most significant takeaway is that demand continues to build faster than what we're converting into revenue. As bookings consistently outpace revenue, backlog continues to expand, reinforcing our confidence that today's growth is supported by durable customer demand rather than quarterly timing. The acquisition of Astrobotic significantly expands our participation across the lunar economy and provides another example of our disciplined approach to capital allocation. Combined with our existing capabilities, Astrobotic further strengthens Voyager's leadership position across the future of the space infrastructure market. Taken together, continued execution, accelerating demand, strategic capital deployment and increased revenue visibility, we are confident in raising our full year 2026 revenue guidance to $275 million to $305 million, representing growth of approximately 66% to 84% over last year. Turning to Slide 4. The wide breadth of our bookings this quarter demonstrates that demand continues expanding across our platform rather than being driven by a single customer or a single program. During the quarter, we secured $113 million in new awards spanning propulsion, advanced electronics, autonomous mission systems, AI-enabled technologies and commercial space infrastructure. This broad-based demand reinforces our confidence that the markets we serve continue to strengthen and provide significant long-term growth potential. Golden Dome-related awards totaled $84 million and spanned across multiple customers, multiple programs of record and several distinct technology platforms. We view Golden Dome as much more than a single procurement opportunity. It represents a multiyear modernization initiative spanning sensing, communications, propulsion, autonomous mission systems and resilient space infrastructure, all areas where Voyager already delivers differentiated technologies. As this architecture continues to develop, we believe Voyager is exceptionally well positioned to participate across numerous layers of this critical missile defense architecture. We also secured a multimillion dollar award to deliver an Agentic AI spectrum operations platform supporting autonomous mission systems for an undisclosed customer. This reflects increasing customer demand for AI-enabled decision advantage and highlights our growing position within next-generation defense technologies. Finally, we continued expanding our commercial space leadership through additional mission management awards, including Exobiosphere. While relatively limited today by the operating capacity of the International Space Station, opportunities like these reinforce our confidence that commercial space infrastructure will become an increasingly important growth driver over the coming decade. Turning to Slide 5. Following quarter end, we completed the acquisition of Astrobotic, an important milestone in executing our long-term growth strategy. We believe the next generation of the space economy will increasingly be defined by permanent infrastructure rather than individual missions. The moon represents one of the most compelling long-term infrastructure opportunities within that broader trend and Astrobotic significantly expands Voyager's contributions across that ecosystem. Astrobotic brings highly differentiated capabilities across lunar delivery, surface mobility, infrastructure, autonomous systems, reusable launch technologies and advanced robotics. Combined with Voyager's existing strengths in communications, computing, propulsion, mission systems and space infrastructure, we now participate across substantially more of the Lunar value chain and technology stack, clearly differentiating us from other Lunar competitors. Beyond the strategic fit, Astrobotic contributes an experienced team, a strong intellectual property portfolio, deep customer relationships and a proven position supporting both government and commercial customers. Turning to Slide 6. What makes this acquisition particularly compelling is that it combines exceptional strategic alignment with attractive financial characteristics. Astrobotic strengthens Voyager's leadership across one of the fastest-growing areas of the future space economy while expanding our addressable market and increasing our participation across critical lunar infrastructure. Operationally, there is very little overlap between the businesses, creating substantial opportunities for revenue synergies as we combine complementary technologies across existing customer relationships. Financially, Astrobotic strengthens our long-term growth profile and is expected to become accretive to revenue growth, EBITDA, earnings per share and cash generation over time. Turning to Slide 7. Looking briefly at the transaction structure. We acquired Astrobotic for a total potential enterprise value of approximately $300 million, including approximately $171 million of upfront cash and equity consideration with additional performance-based earn-out opportunities aligned with future growth. More importantly, this transaction significantly enhances Voyager's long-term financial profile. We expect Astrobotic to contribute approximately $40 million to $50 million of revenue to Voyager in 2026. When combined with Voyager's existing organic growth opportunities, increasing operating leverage and meaningful revenue synergies, we believe the acquisition accelerates our pathway towards profitability while strengthening our competitive position across the rapidly expanding space economy. With that, I'll turn the call over to Phil. Filipe de Sousa: Thanks, Dylan. So turning to Slide 8. The second quarter represented an important operational inflection point for Voyager. After several years of investing in technology development, manufacturing capacity and customer programs, we're beginning to see those investments translate into accelerating financial performance. Revenue reached a record $53 million, increasing 51% sequentially and 15% year-over-year as multiple development programs transition into production and backlog increasingly converted into revenue. Equally important, demand continued to strengthen across the business. Bookings reached a record $113 million, resulting in a 2.1x book-to-bill ratio and increasing backlog to a record $336 million. Gross profit improved sequentially as higher production volumes began absorbing fixed manufacturing and overhead costs. While margins remain below our long-term targets, the quarter represents yet another step along the path towards improving operating leverage as production and volumes continue to scale. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $38 million, modestly ahead of our internal expectations despite continued investment across engineering, internally funded R&D and production capacity. Importantly, these investments are intentional. We continue allocating capital towards differentiated technologies, manufacturing capacity and future growth opportunities because we believe today's demand environment supports significant long-term value creation. Turning to Slide 9. We believe bookings and backlog continue to represent one of the strongest indicators of Voyager's future growth trajectory. Record quarterly bookings of $113 million were driven by broad-based demand. Importantly, the quality of our bookings remains exceptionally strong. Our awards continue to be diversified across multiple customers, agencies, programs of record, contract vehicles and technology platforms. As bookings continue outpacing revenue conversion, backlog increased to a record $336 million, providing increasing visibility into both 2026 and 2027 while reinforcing our confidence in our long-term growth outlook. The key takeaway here is that trajectory of both bookings and backlog continues to accelerate. Over the past several quarters, we have seen demand build across the portfolio. We believe this reflects increasing customer adoption, expanding program participation and growing demand across our core offerings. Turning to Slide 10. I'll provide some additional insight to our Defense & Space segment. This segment continues to demonstrate the strength of Voyager's operating model with investments made over the past several years, increasingly translating into improved operating and financial performance. The second quarter marked an important milestone for this business. We generated record bookings, representing growth of more than 205% year-over-year. This drives company backlog to a new record of $336 million. Demand continues to expand across several of our high-priority technology areas, including advanced propulsion technology and mission electronics, classified autonomous and agentic AI capabilities, Golden Dome-related programs and, of course, continued expansion with our existing customers. These opportunities are supported by long-term secular trends, including defense modernization, missile defense, resilient space architectures, AI-enabled mission systems and, of course, the increasing national security investments. We believe this diversity reinforces that the demand environment is structural rather than program-specific and provides increasing confidence in the durability of our long-term growth outlook. During the quarter, segment revenue increased 15% year-over-year, more than 51% sequentially, reflecting improved execution, higher production volumes and stronger backlog conversion across multiple programs. While we continue investing aggressively for future growth, we are beginning to realize the benefits of increasing scale. During the quarter, we continued investing in engineering talent, internally funded research and development, advanced manufacturing capabilities, automation and production infrastructure to support the significant demand opportunities we see ahead. As we've discussed previously, 2026 remains an investment year as we continue to scale our capabilities to meet growing customer demand. While these investments create near-term pressure on profitability, we continue to expect meaningful operating leverage over time as production volumes increase, manufacturing utilization improves and revenue growth increasingly outpaces our investment spending. We believe this operating leverage is already beginning to emerge. Adjusted EBITDA continues to reflect our strategic investments while demonstrating early improvements in fixed cost absorption as production activity accelerates. This progression remains consistent with our long-term financial framework and reinforces our confidence in the pathway towards expanding operating margins and profitability. Stepping back, we believe this quarter illustrates the strength of Voyager's strategy. The investments we've made in differentiated technologies, advanced manufacturing and strategic capabilities are increasingly translating into operating performance, while the markets we serve continue to expand. Combined with record backlog, accelerating production activity and a robust opportunity pipeline, we believe the Defense & Space segment is exceptionally well positioned to deliver sustained organic growth and increased profitability over the coming years. Turning to Slide 11. I'll now discuss Starlab. Starlab continued to execute well during the quarter, achieving important technical and program milestones while further strengthening the commercial foundation of the program. The key milestone worth highlighting is that Starlab has now secured over $500 million of signed commercial reservations, demonstrating strong market demand and continued commercial momentum. This demonstrates that Starlab has progressed well beyond a development concept and is already attracting meaningful government and commercial commitments. Operationally, we've achieved additional NASA milestones during the quarter and received $4 million of milestone funding, bringing our cumulative milestone receipts to approximately $211 million or nearly all of the $218 million expected under the current phase of our funded Space Act agreement. As anticipated, milestone funding naturally moderates as we complete this phase of development and transition towards the next phase of the program. Notably, we view this as a progression of the program, not a slowdown as focus shifts from Phase I development to next stage of commercialization. Following quarter end, NASA released the draft Commercial LEO Destinations Phase 2 RFP, marking another milestone in the evolution of commercial low earth orbit market. We believe this represents the transition from early development towards competitive commercial procurement and further reinforces NASA's long-term commitment to establishing a commercially led successor to the International Space Station. While NASA continues to refine the timing and structure of the Phase 2 procurement process, our long-term outlook for Starlab remains unchanged, and we continue to believe the program is exceptionally well positioned within NASA's commercial LEO strategy. From a financial perspective, we continue to take a disciplined approach, pacing investments alongside technical progress, customer demand and procurement activity. This disciplined capital allocation remains a core differentiator as we balance near-term financial performance with long-term shareholder value creation. Stepping back, we continue to view Starlab as one of Voyager's most strategic long-term assets. Together with our recent acquisition of Astrobotic, Voyager is building a differentiated position across the emerging space infrastructure ecosystem from defense technologies and mission systems today to the commercial infrastructure that will enable sustained human and commercial activity in low earth orbit, Cis-Lunar space, the Moon and of course, and beyond. Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing against the upcoming NASA procurement process and continue to believe Starlab is well positioned to become a foundational commercial infrastructure platform supporting the next generation of the space economy. Turning to Slide 12, I'll cover our financial position and capital allocation strategy. We ended the quarter with $429 million of cash and cash equivalents, approximately $212 million of available borrowing capacity and total liquidity of approximately $641 million. Subsequent to the quarter end, we further strengthened our financial flexibility by expanding our credit facility by an additional $50 million, increasing our available liquidity to support future growth opportunities. We believe our balance sheet remains one of Voyager's most important strategic advantages. It provides the financial flexibility to execute our long-term growth strategy while maintaining a disciplined and balanced approach to capital allocation. Throughout today's call, we've discussed accelerated demand, improved execution and disciplined capital deployment. Our financial position enables all 3. It allows us to continue investing behind growing customer demand today while simultaneously building the capabilities that will support the next phase of Voyager's growth. As I have covered previously, we maintain a disciplined capital allocation strategy. Our first priority remains investing organically in the business, allocating capital towards differentiated technologies, internally funded research and development and, of course, advancing our manufacturing capabilities, automation and production capacity as we expand. These investments are directly aligned with growing customer demand across defense modernization, national security and the expanding space economy. We believe they will continue to strengthen our competitive position while supporting long-term margin expansion. We are equally disciplined in evaluating strategic acquisitions that expand our technology portfolio, broaden our addressable markets, deepen customer relationships and accelerate our long-term financial objectives. The recent acquisition of Astrobotic is a strong example of this strategy in action. It expands Voyager's participation across the emerging lunar infrastructure economy while creating opportunities for meaningful revenue synergies, operating leverage and long-term value creation. Importantly, every capital allocation decision is evaluated through the lens of long-term shareholder returns. Whether we're investing organically, expanding production capacity, funding innovation or pursuing acquisitions, our objective remains the same, deploying capital where we believe it will generate the highest long-term returns while strengthening Voyager's strategic positioning. We will continue to balance organic growth investment, disciplined strategic M&A and maintain financial flexibility with every investment expected to enhance our long-term growth profile and support increasing returns on invested capital over time. Looking ahead, we remain confident that our current liquidity provides ample capacity to execute our strategy. It allows us to support increasing production requirements, continue to invest in differentiated technologies, pursue attractive strategic opportunities as they arise and maintain the flexibility to navigate an evolving market environment. Stepping back, we believe the strength of Voyager's balance sheet is about much more than liquidity. It is a strategic asset that enables us to invest through market cycles, respond quickly to customer demand, accelerate innovation and selectively deploy capital into opportunities that enhance our technology leadership and long-term earnings power. Turning to Slide 13. I'll conclude with our outlook for the remainder of 2026. Based on our strong first half execution, accelerating backlog conversion, continued customer demand and the contribution from Astrobotic following the July acquisition, we are raising our full year revenue guidance to a range of $275 million to $305 million, representing growth of 66% to 84% year-over-year. This increase reflects more than a strong quarter. It reflects our growing confidence in the trajectory of the business. We continue to see increasing demand across defense modernization, national security and commercial space markets with record backlog providing greater visibility and continued operational execution as programs continue to transition from development into production. As we discussed earlier, Astrobotic is expected to contribute approximately $40 million to $50 million of revenue during the remainder of 2026. Looking at the balance of the year, we continue to expect revenue to accelerate through the second half with approximately 40% of second half revenue generated in the third quarter and 60% in the fourth quarter. This reflects the timing of program execution, increasing production activity, continued backlog conversion and remains consistent with our expectations entering the year. As second half production volumes continue to scale, manufacturing utilization improves and fixed costs are absorbed across a larger revenue base, we expect meaningful sequential improvement in gross margin. While 2026 remains an investment year, we believe we are beginning to see the early benefits of operating leverage that support our long-term margin objectives. Consistent with our strategy, we expect internally funded research and development to increase to approximately 20% on a full year revenue basis, reflecting continued investment in differentiated technologies that strengthen our competitive position across propulsion, advanced electronics, autonomous systems, AI-enabled mission capabilities, supporting Golden Dome and next-generation space infrastructure. Capital expenditures, excluding Starlab, are expected to be approximately $70 million to $80 million as we continue expanding manufacturing capacity, automation, advanced production capabilities and infrastructure to support expected long-term demand. Within Starlab, program activities continue to be aligned with NASA's evolving commercial LEO development program schedule. While development timing continues to evolve, our launch outlook for Starlab remains unchanged, and we continue to believe the program represents a highly differentiated commercial infrastructure opportunity. So stepping back once again, we believe today's guidance reflects the continued execution of the strategy we've outlined since becoming a public company. We are converting record demand into accelerating revenue growth, investing to expand our technology leadership and production capabilities, deploying capital in a disciplined manner and strengthening our competitive position across defense technology, national security and the expanding space economy. While we remain focused on disciplined execution and recognize the timing of customer awards and program execution can influence quarterly results, the underlying demand environment has continued to strengthen. Combined with our record backlog, strong balance sheet, differentiated technology portfolio and expanded capabilities following the Astrobotic acquisition, we believe Voyager is exceptionally well positioned to deliver sustained growth, expanding profitability and long-term shareholder value. And with that, I'll turn the call back over to Dylan. Dylan Taylor: Thank you, Phil. Before we wrap up, I'd like to mention that we plan to host our 2026 Investor Day on December 3 in Pittsburgh. We look forward to welcoming investors and providing additional details closer to the event. Before we open the line for questions, I'd like to leave you with a few closing thoughts. The second quarter represents another critical milestone in Voyager's evolution as a public company. We delivered record revenue, record bookings, record backlog and completed the acquisition of Astrobotic and increased our full year revenue guidance. We believe these results validate our strategy that it's working and that we're systematically converting growing market demand into accelerating financial performance. Throughout today's call, we've discussed the powerful trends shaping our business. Defense modernization continues to accelerate, national security priorities continue to expand and the commercial space economy continues to mature. These are not short-term market dynamics. We believe they represent long-term structural growth opportunities that will continue to drive growth potential for years to come. We believe Voyager occupies a differentiated position at the convergence of these markets. Our portfolio of mission-critical technologies, combined with our growing manufacturing capabilities, disciplined innovation strategy and expanding space infrastructure platform positions us to participate across some of the highest priority programs supporting the future of defense and space. Just as importantly, we continue executing with discipline. We're converting backlog into revenue, investing capital to expand capacity and technology leadership, and we're allocating capital strategically, integrating acquisitions to strengthen our platform while enhancing our long-term growth profile. Record backlog, a huge opportunity pipeline, a strong balance sheet and the successful integration of Astrobotic provides us with a solid foundation to continue building long-term value for our customers, employees and shareholders. We remain focused on disciplined execution, thoughtful capital allocation and delivering on the commitments we have made since becoming a public company. We believe those principles, combined with the quality of our technology portfolio and the strength of the markets we serve, position Voyager to deliver sustained growth, expanding profitability and increasing shareholder value over the long term. Operator, with that, we're now ready to take questions. Operator: [Operator Instructions] Your first question comes from the line of Sheila Kahyaoglu with Jefferies. Sheila Kahyaoglu: Maybe I'll just start off on the 2026 guidance range. It looks like it's all Astrobotic contribution, but the core business is doing really well, record bookings up 2x essentially from where you've been. Can you maybe talk about the puts and takes of how we should think about the second half and how you're thinking about the pacing items to unlock any pull forward of the backlog recognition and where you see potential upside? Dylan Taylor: Sheila, thanks for the question. I appreciate it very much. I'm going to let Phil handle that one. Go ahead, Phil. Filipe de Sousa: Look, from a guidance perspective, the best way to think about it, Astrobotic specifically, we've included a range of $40 million to $50 million post acquisition. So I think $45 million at the midpoint there. So by definition, that means certainly our business, our core business is also contributing to the increase in our guidance. And just that reflects really the first half performance, tremendous job by Matt Magana and the team across all of our businesses, delivering on execution even slightly better than we expected here in the second quarter. And as a result, that's why we've got the confidence to raise guidance for the full year. From a visibility perspective, you can see our backlog build sequentially pretty significantly from the first quarter to the second quarter. That provides us tremendous visibility and confidence in delivering the second half ramp that you guys will all pencil out. And from an upside perspective, I would just say, certainly, there is that. But like all things Voyager, we've taken it pretty down the middle of the fairway each of the last 2 quarters. We'll continue to provide you guys transparency and updates to those things as we progress forward. But certainly, there's upside potential there as well. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Myles Walton with Wolfe Research. Myles Walton: I was wondering if you could talk about the Astrobotic annualized revenue, $60 million, $70 million in fiscal '26, but $40 million, $50 million in the back half of the year. Should we use that back half of the year as the run rate into '27. And then also if you can fold into that, the big award for the lunar payload of about $300 million, how will that fold into both revenue as well as the third quarter bookings? Dylan Taylor: Myles, thanks for that. I'm going to ask Phil to give you some additional specifics. But as you know, we just closed on the acquisition about 2.5 weeks ago. So the 2027 outlook, we're still working through, and that will be dependent on the mission timing as well. But as you correctly pointed out, we had very significant CLPS wins with NASA just as we were closing that transaction. So we're super optimistic about the business and the growth prospects there. But in terms of the exact timing for next year and beyond, we're still working through the details of that. I think we'll have a lot more to say on that at Investor Day on December 3 because that will not only give us a very clear outlook for '27 for Astrobotic, but of course, for Voyager as a whole. So over to Phil. Filipe de Sousa: Yes. And Myles, maybe I'll just add some incremental color there. When we talked about on a full year basis, that $60 million, $70 million, obviously, you guys can see that there is a second half ramp, particularly this year for Astrobotic. That's tied specifically with the Griffin mission that we're very excited for, coming up later this year, early next year. And so a lot of the revenue is in that backlog coming into the year. And just a point of emphasis too, as a reminder to everybody, when you look at our ending backlog here in the second quarter, record backlog, there's absolutely $0 in there associated with Astrobotic. So we'll provide more color as we kind of progress here through the quarter. Obviously, I anticipate backlog, not just at the end of the third quarter, but at the end of the fourth quarter to be substantially higher than where it is here today. As you noted, we got nearly a $300 million award or 2 awards really for NASA for CLPS missions. As we work through those details, to Dylan's point earlier and another shameless plug for December 3, please everybody circle that date. We look forward to seeing you all in Pittsburgh. We provide ample visibility to not just how those specific missions play themselves out over the course of '27 and years ahead, but more importantly, also our full year visibility into Voyager because we're excited about how the core business has actually accelerated here in the second half of the year. And we anticipate not just from a bookings perspective, you guys will be pretty impressed with the numbers we put up over the second half, giving us a lot of momentum as we head into 2027. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of John Godyn with Citi. John Godyn: Obviously, the Astrobotic deal is a very interesting deal. But Dylan, I was hoping to just plug into your broader views on strategic M&A. I feel like you've always been unusually plugged into the landscape. So maybe you can just kind of talk about M&A from here, what you've learned with prior deals as well as the business and vision you have over the next few years and how M&A plays into that. Dylan Taylor: Very thoughtful question, John. I really appreciate the thought behind that. Yes, we're very optimistic about what we see in the M&A landscape in our pipeline and specifically what's happening in the industry. I think increasingly, companies understand that they need to be part of a larger platform to be successful long term, especially for larger infrastructure projects that are being bid out, whether it's on the DoW side or the NASA side. So I think here, John, as you're, I think, alluding to a bit, relationships really matter. And the trust and the reputation in the market, I think, goes a long way in terms of not only creating opportunities for M&A, but also convincing those M&A opportunities that bigger companies are the right home for their technology and for their people. So I think I really am encouraged by what we see. Now that being said, we're building to a specific strategy here. It's not an opportunistic one. It is a strategic one. So for example, within the Lunar tech stack, we've talked in the past about how important it is to really have the integrated approach for Lunar. So for example, not only the lander, but mobility on the moon, habitation, power, propulsion, all the different things that you need to live and work on the moon and "survive the night". Those are all important technologies that are part of our strategic technology stack that we're either investing in from an IRAD perspective or targeting from an M&A perspective. So we're super excited about that. Similarly, on propulsion, as you've seen over the last 6 to 9 months with, in particular, the ExoTerra acquisition, but also the investments we're making into the Pueblo American Defense complex as it relates to scaling our propulsion technology and the success we've had on Golden Dome. We're really completing that technology stack from an integrated propulsion standpoint, including energetics. And we're really getting multiplier effects, not only technologically, but with the customer seeing us increasingly solving larger mission-critical solutions for them. And then just final point I'll make. We had a big win. I think it was understated, frankly, and people don't fully understand it on the Agentic AI initiative for an undisclosed customer. That initiative has been led internally by our Co-Founder, Matt Kuta, who is rapidly becoming, I think, the industry leader and expert in Agentic AI as it applies to defense and national security. And so I expect a lot of very interesting growth opportunities there. And as we know, that's a very rapidly growing and evolving market as well. So very optimistic about what we see. The M&A pipeline is extremely robust, and we're going to continue to be disciplined with our capital allocation. But at the same time, we're seeing a lot of opportunities for accretive M&A, not only financially accretive, but technologically and strategically accretive to our overall vision and plan. So I hope that answers that. I'm happy to take any follow-ups, John. John Godyn: No, I think that was fantastic. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Seth Seifman with JPMorgan. Seth Seifman: I wanted to follow up on that. You mentioned Golden Dome. It seems like roughly 3/4 of the awards this quarter were Golden Dome related. Can you talk in a little bit more detail about what you've won there and what the opportunities are for you going forward? And should we expect to see this continuing to be a significant portion of the bookings? Dylan Taylor: Yes. Thank you, Seth. I'm going to have Phil give the detail on how that $84 million of Golden Dome awards break down in the quarter. But just generally, a couple of points. As we've said previously on previous calls and also at our Investor Day last November, our technology because it has been demonstrated on the highest technical standards on, for example, next-generation interceptor, we're seeing a very high level of adoption for the technology. Couple that with some of the geopolitical circumstances, including what's happening, of course, in Iran and elsewhere depleting inventories, we're seeing extremely significant demand for Golden Dome-related activities. So obviously, this $84 million print on backlog for Q2 is where we are today, but anticipate that additional traction will be demonstrated as we go forward in the back half of the year with respect to Golden Dome. And frankly, it's a tiger by the tail in the sense that we have so many opportunities on the Golden Dome platform to implement our technology that we're super excited about what that prospect is going to bring forward. But Phil will give you the specifics on how the $84 million breaks down. Filipe de Sousa: Yes, from a Golden Dome perspective, again, $84 million in total awards this quarter. Just to put a little bit more details to that, we're looking at more than 5 awards, 5 different customers, 5 different platforms, 5 different awards. And I would highlight about 60% of that $84 million tied specifically to space-based interceptor programs. And that's programs in plural. That's an important note. I think back, a year since we've gone public. And I want to say for the first 3, 4 calls that we've had, we focus a lot of times on next-generation Interceptor, still a major program of ours and an incredible base to our revenue, continues to be and expected to be this year. But this will be the first call we've gotten like 3, 4 questions into this, and we haven't talked about NGI yet. That's an important note. And that's because even in this quarter and sequentially, obviously, we increased from the first quarter up to $53 million of revenue. We actually had the same amount of contribution from space-based interceptor programs here in Q2 from a revenue perspective as we did from NGI. I think that's a really important milestone for not just analysts and investors alike to recall as we kind of came out as a public company, we talked about national defense -- or national security and defense providing significant ample opportunities extended far beyond just next-generation interceptor. As I look out over the balance of the year, I anticipate space-based Interceptor revenue will continue to be along the same part of NGI over the back half with significant upside to that as we continue to progress from a technical development perspective. Dylan Taylor: Yes. And Seth, just final point. I think Phil articulated it extremely well. But again, SBIs were not even on our radar screen 6 months ago. We didn't even talk about that as part of our Investor Day in November because Golden Dome, of course, architecture hadn't been specified, but it also technologically wasn't something that was yet spec-ed. So the fact that, that architecture has now been configured, SBIs are now a thing. It's technically extremely difficult and our technology has been spec-ed in on multiple SBI programs, I think, bodes extremely well for how our technologies are being developed in Golden Dome generally and is not only consistent, but I would say exceeds the expectations that we had for how much traction we would get within the Golden Dome ecosystem and not only in terms of the quantum, but how quickly the adoption is happening. So extremely bullish on what we see on Golden Dome. Seth Seifman: Excellent. That's very helpful. If I could follow up on just a totally different topic, but on the Lunar opportunity you've talked about, which obviously is considerable. When you think about how that matures and the opportunity that's there, how -- to what extent is the runway for your growth governed by the Artemis program and the pace at which that moves forward and stays on schedule? Dylan Taylor: Well, it's a thoughtful question. I would say a couple of things. The fact that the CLPS missions have been awarded and we were awarded 2 of those I think, bodes very well. Of course, Artemis has a difficult component to it, which is the human landing component, right? And I think that is dependent on things that are not within our constraints. So for example, space suits, surface landers, human-rated heart... Operator: Pardon the interruption, Phil, can you hear me? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the operator. We are experiencing technical difficulties and your line will be placed on music hold at this time. [Technical Difficulty]. Filipe de Sousa: Inflection in the last year. Coming out last year, we talked a lot about there being a $3.6 billion opportunity pipeline for Voyager -- And as I think about where we are today from a pipeline perspective, looking ahead over the next 5 years, I've got a factored pipeline, that's probability win, probability fund with factored pipeline of over $5 billion. Now obviously, strategic systems, we're talking propulsion, missile defense, Golden Dome, space-based interceptors, all a significant component of that, but still much larger than they were even just a year ago to Dylan's point earlier. That sits at about $3.5 billion. When I think about Lunar, obviously, with the Astrobotic acquisition, but this is complementary already to the Lunar strategy that we have been developing and quite good product and capabilities we've been innovating and developing on our own organically. I think of Lunar and space mission management and that's a rich pipeline, over $1 billion of opportunity. So we're excited as we look out. The great news is we're not tied to any one specific program and/or award as we execute, and the team has been doing exactly that. So exciting times as we look ahead. Dylan Taylor: And just final point, Seth, I know we're kind of running on, on this topic, but it's an important one. We'll have more to say about this on Investor Day, December 3 in Pittsburgh. But there are other parts of our technology stack that are very relevant to the moon that we see huge long-term growth opportunities for. And 2 I'll mention both of which Astrobotic has been working on. But the 2, I think, that are absolutely essential that we can play a key role in are comms and power. And if you look at building permanent infrastructure on the moon, living and working on the moon, everything is downstream of power, as we know. And to a lesser extent, everything is downstream of comms. And so those are 2 areas that we're really focused on. We'll have more to say about that, as I mentioned at Investor Day. But that's another thing I'd like to just surface as key parts of our strategy that I think are going to have very significant financial implications to our strategic plan going forward. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Christine louig with Morgan Stanley. Unknown Analyst: You've discussed how the Starlab program is being rephased to align with NASA's updated CLD plan. Now there appears to be a lot of information from NASA's approach and fluidity around the program and the timing for this. Can you provide more color on what specifically changed in the plan? How these changes impacted your program schedule and outlook? And what gives you the confidence that the current development and funding time line is what's going to go forward? Dylan Taylor: Thanks for the question, Christine. I think our confidence, frankly, since the last call has increased pretty dramatically on Starlab. As you know, they issue NASA did an RFI that they got some feedback from the market on, which included sort of a, I'll call it, a government-owned core module. The general consensus from the industry was that, that was not the right approach. And to NASA's credit, they reversed course on that particular approach. And the draft RFP that they issued here recently was much more consistent with the CLD Phase 1 approach. Now there are still some mechanisms within that draft RFP that I think the industry is going to provide feedback on requirements primarily because you want the requirements to be robust because it's human-rated hardware, of course. But you don't want them to be so robust that nobody can build it on time and on budget. So I think there are going to be elements of the requirements that in the final RFP will be either changed or relaxed a bit. But in general, Christine, we're feeling really good about where we're positioned. Even if the RFP came out as sort of issued in the draft, I think we'd be very well positioned. And I think we're hopeful that additional changes from the draft to the final RFP will only enhance our competitive position because keep in mind, our single launch to orbit solution, our operational day 1 approach as opposed to on-orbit assembly, the full scale of Starlab with its larger design is highly differentiated compared to some of the other solutions out there. So we feel good about that. I think you also talked about timing. Obviously, we would prefer that a decision be made sooner rather than later, of course. Really, the time pressure for the industry and for -- frankly, for the country and for Western allies is making sure this gets built before the ISS has to come down. And there's, of course, a planned deorbit of the ISS. But we also want to make sure that the station is aging and of course, it's got issues on it from time to time. We want to make sure that we have a commercial solution in plenty of time before the ISS no longer has functionality. So yes, I think timing is a bit delayed just because they went through the RFI and the draft RFP process. But we still anticipate a final RFP here shortly. And submissions, I would say, sometime mid- to late fall and then a selection early next year. That's our current belief on timing. With that, I'll ask Phil if he's got anything else to contribute. Filipe de Sousa: Phil, if I could add, Christine, I appreciate the question. Yes. So just from a competitive advantage perspective. I just want to make sure not just our analysts but investors are well aware, the strategic advantage we have with the actual construct of the Starlab joint venture. The way we've actually formulated, if you will, the cost structure to that program and to that business effectively allows us to flex our spend and adapt to delays like this with NASA. So a lot of credit to the hard work that Marshall Smith, who leads Starlab and the team at Starlab. They've continued to make really meaningful progress. They continue to advance, obviously, the technological development, commercial customer engagement. And to that note, I just remind everybody, I highlighted this in my prepared remarks, now we're well over $500 million, actually quickly approaching the $600 million mark of signed commercial reservations for Starlab. These are the things that are in our control and the things that our team has been focused on every day since we initiated this program. And so again, we're really happy with the progress that we've made. We're happy and continue to work closely with NASA during this RFI process, and we'll continue to adapt to it as things evolve. Dylan Taylor: And just final point, Christine, I'll make. I really want to thank and compliment administrator Isaacman because I think they have done a fantastic job of testing different ideas in the market, soliciting feedback from industry and then I wouldn't say pivoting, but I would say incorporating that feedback from industry into what they reissue and approaches that they're taking. And so I think that's fantastic. That's exactly what you would hope for from your customer is that they float ideas, they take feedback and then they adjust based upon your feedback. So I think we have a great partner in NASA, and we're excited about the future with them on this program. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Gautam Khanna with Cowen. Gautam Khanna: I was wondering if you could give us an update on the American Defense Complex, how that is -- what it's doing right now, how far along the build-out and staffing is? And if you could also talk a little bit about whether you've seen any traction on SRMs with the captive Black Powder asset that you guys own? And if you could talk about kind of how you're positioned in that market. Filipe de Sousa: It's Phil. I'll take this one and then Dylan might add some additional color. But we were excited not just to break ground earlier this year, but to get off with a flying start. We've made a considerable amount of investment on-prem already. I'd say most notably here, think about the benefits we're already reaping. So some of the technological advancements that we have made, even though we're not done constructing the facility, but it has allowed us to do a significant amount of innovation prototyping and testing on site, which has actually been the catalyst leading to a lot of these space-based Interceptor award wins. And so we've talked about this year being an investing year. There's still a significant amount of investment to go at that site as well as the development out at Space Beach or Long Beach, California. And so we're continuing to look forward to making those investments. But more importantly, we're already seeing returns on that invested capital, which is exciting to us. Dylan Taylor: Yes. And I would say also that the CapEx deployment is on schedule, again, being led by Matt Kuta, our Co-Founder and President, who's doing a great job. He's got an entire team dedicated to that, and I know he's very closely managing that. They're doing a great job. I think you also asked about SRMs and Black Powder traction. We like what we see there, certainly, and I think we'll have more to say on that in Q3. But yes, the short answer is we are very optimistic that, that growth factor is what we thought it was, and we'll have more to say on that in the very near future. Gautam Khanna: That's helpful. And just a quick follow-up because you did mention the huge pipeline of opportunities you're pursuing. I'm curious, do you have a sense for what the book-to-bill might look like in the second half of the year just based on what you have out there already? Filipe de Sousa: I certainly do, Gautam. So I will highlight that with the significantly large $300 million award that we received from NASA for those CLPS missions with Astrobotic, those certainly have come in actually post acquisition. So there'll be an exceptional third quarter performance. That said, when you think of fourth quarter, when things start to normalize again, positive book-to-bill, again, despite us having well over a 1 book-to-bill ratio in the first half where we're typically south of 1. So I would guide towards Q4 being quite similar to the combination of the first half, so about 1.2, 1.3 book-to-bill in Q4 with a truly exceptional third quarter in between. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Michael Leshock with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Michael Leshock: I just wanted to clarify the magnitude of NGI. I think you previously said the 2026 revenue contribution would be relatively flattish versus the $50 million in '25. Has that changed at all? And then secondly, what milestones need to happen to hit LRIP in 2027? Is that all based on the customer or capacity expansions or any other milestones to be looking for on NGI just to hit that initial production cadence? Filipe de Sousa: Mike, it's Phil here on this side. I appreciate the question. Yes. No, NGI, no change in the program from our perspective. Again, the team there just continues to execute on behalf of the customer as they have been for, frankly speaking, quite a number of years now. So if I recall correctly off the top of my head, last year, full year NGI revenue was just about $47 million. That flat comment that I've carried forward still holds true. We should be in the range of $45 million to $50 million this year, again, all tied really specifically to specific customer timing on that front. We have passed our critical design review from the propulsion side of the house. Last year, if you guys recall, that was June, that was a pretty significant milestone for us. As we continue to march out for the balance of the year, and we are certainly still awaiting for the LRIP contract, which we anticipate could still come before the end of the year. We'll obviously provide an update as soon as we can. But obviously, just as a reminder, we anticipate that's a pretty significant contribution, not just 2027 and '28, but then as we move from low rate production to high rate production, we view Lockheed Martin's next-generation interceptor at approximately $1 billion worth of value to us to be generated over the next 5-plus years. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of David Strauss with Wells Fargo. Benjamin Tomick: This is Ben Tomick on for David. I was just wondering, could you guys talk about how you're feeling about the certainty of Starship's capacity to launch Starlab and if there's any risk to the time line there? Dylan Taylor: Ben, I don't think I've had a chance to meet you before. Nice to hear from you. We're not concerned about that. Keep in mind, what we need Starship to do is orbital insertion, which Starships really already demonstrated. So a lot of the refinements that Elon and team are working on right now have to do with reentry, heat shield, refueling, human-rated hardware, et cetera, et cetera. So from our perspective, what we need them to do, which is safe delivery to orbit, they've already demonstrated. So short answer is no, we're not concerned with their ability to launch us. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Andre Madrid with U.S. Bancorp. Andre Madrid: I think you mentioned it a little bit before, but can we maybe just go into some more detail about the pace of revenue recognition on Moon Base 2 and the 2 CLPS Lunar landers awards as those progress towards eventual delivery? Filipe de Sousa: Andre, great question. It was asked earlier. I'll stick to the script here. As we get closer to our Investor Day, we're going to have significant more information to share. And in part, that's because, look, we just acquired the business, frankly speaking, just a couple of weeks ago, just received both awards from NASA. And as we start to work through the contracting dynamics associated with it, and you can appreciate it's probably far more complex than we'd all appreciate. We anticipate -- we will certainly, as always, provide the level of transparency we always have. But I ask you to just be patient with us, anticipate that, obviously, it will be a significant contribution to us in future periods, not counting on any significant contribution from it here in 2026. I think that's an important piece to note. The team there is obviously really focused on the Griffin mission first. And then obviously, we'll tackle these, both contractually and then from an execution perspective once we get into 2027. Andre Madrid: Got it. Got it. And I guess on my follow-up, something a little bit different. Obviously, given your experience in providing advanced propulsion subsystems on programs like NGI, I mean, looking at these recent framework agreements, I mean, -- does this present really any opportunity for Voyager to support as a sub? Dylan Taylor: Specifically on propulsion Golden Dome activities, Andre? Andre Madrid: Yes. No, more specific to, I guess, the recent framework agreements, if any of the work that you do is maybe tangential and could support that at all. Do you view it as an opportunity or not really? Dylan Taylor: We view it as an opportunity. No, I think it's a very astute question. We see it the same way. Obviously, we've got a lot of other growth opportunities here and things that we're excited about. But yes, we do see that as an opportunity, full stop. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Steven Wahrhaftig with Wedbush Securities. Steven Wahrhaftig: Congrats on the quarter. I want to talk a little bit more about the agentic contract that you got in the pipeline. I also want to talk about the opportunity that you really see to expand in this space because it really seems like a unique contract, and it seems a little bit different than what you are going after with the defense and space industry. So can you break down the opportunity that you're seeing within the agentic field? And then I have a follow-up. Dylan Taylor: Yes. Thanks for the question. I wish we could give you more detail, including who the customer is, but this is deeply embedded in the classified community. But there are a couple of things that I think are important to point out here. As we've seen with our friends, Palantir, who just a reminder, a strategic partner of ours, shareholder within Starlab, early shareholder within Voyager, they're getting tremendous traction within the DoW and the federal government at large, not only in the U.S., but other governments around the world with their ability to generate intelligence around data. And a lot of that has to do with, as we know, increased demands for autonomy. And when we say autonomy, those are decisions being made in real time in environments that might not necessarily have the ability for a human to provide intervention before something needs to take place. So autonomy is a big driver. And I would say there's a big opportunity between what I would call traditional Agentic AI, which is more data processing, data analyzation, data sorting and what Palantir does, which is like full operating model, full autonomy. In between those 2 extremes, there is a huge -- I wish I could capitalize on the phone here, but a huge opportunity for companies like ours that are at the very forefront of what is possible in that middle layer to help the customer think through solutions. And we made a critical hire, Matt Kuta did, who leads this initiative, as I mentioned earlier, who led Agentic AI initiatives at DARPA, and he has been a fantastic hire internally to the company. So this is kind of a Skunk Works project internally that we're -- as we've already seen in this quarter, getting traction on from a customer demand and contracting standpoint. I expect a lot of growth opportunity here. And again, I'll just emphasize what I said earlier. I don't think the market fully understands this opportunity that we have captured here. And we'll have a lot more to say about it on future calls. But we are extremely well positioned for a part of the market that, frankly, I don't think a lot of people are understanding or have the capability to focus on. Steven Wahrhaftig: Okay. I appreciate the color on that. And then, Phil, I just wanted to talk a little bit more so about the guidance, specifically on the gross margin side of things because you're still reaffirming the fiscal year '26 guidance for gross margins in the mid-teens. And when looking at the results, it was negative in the first quarter and then it was high single digits in 2Q. So can we get a better idea of what the cadence will be like in the second half of the year? And should we expect the seasonality in fiscal year '27. Filipe de Sousa: Great question. I appreciate you actually asking it. Really important element of focus and certainly in our commentary, we haven't provided a total amount of specifics, but here we go. Great point, negative gross margin in the first quarter. But just as a reminder, we were already investing for our manufacturing capacity capabilities, if you would, some of which did lend itself to obviously see some of these early wins coming out of our American Defense complex. You saw what happens from a leverage perspective, even at the gross margin line in Q2 when we got a little over 8% gross profit margins. As I look out over the third quarter and fourth quarter, and obviously, there's going to be a revenue ramp here, significantly supported by our backlog. I anticipate gross profit margins in the mid- to high teens, so call it around 17% in the third quarter. And we will eclipse the 20% mark, I think low 20 percentage points in the fourth quarter. That ultimately gets you to that mid-teens full year gross profit margin guidance there. As I look out to 2027, there's no question that as our revenue continues to scale and increase, we'll continue to get significant margin leverage, not just at the gross profit line, but certainly at the operating profit or EBITDA margin line. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Ron Epstein with Bank of America. Alexander Christian Preston: This is Alex Preston on for Ron. I was wondering if you could just talk a little bit about incremental investment in Astrobotic post acquisition, right? It looks like the CapEx outlook is up. I presume that's primarily or maybe all Astrobotic. Can you just maybe give a bit more color on what investments you're making there and maybe the broader framework as you look to execute on these new awards at Astrobotic going forward? Filipe de Sousa: Yes. Great question. I appreciate it. Yes. So in the past, we had guided approximately $70 million of CapEx, excluding Starlab. Update to the guidance framework, we're looking at anywhere from $70 million to $80 million. There is a little bit of investment in there for Astrobotic. There's also, if you would, incremental investment there for our base business as we look ahead. Growth and supporting that growth capacity is an absolute prerequisite for us as we look into 2027 being another record year for Voyager. And so that's really what's underpinning that increase there. There is some modest investment there for Astrobotic. Like all of the acquisitions we've done in the past, it's one of the great reasons why we're thought of as an acquirer of choice. It's because we do have a strategic asset in our balance sheet and have the ability to not just invest from an innovation perspective, you also see our internally funded research and development being about 20% for the year. Obviously, not just our base business, but we will also invest in Astrobotic from that regard and continue to support the growth trajectories of all the businesses that we've integrated into Voyager. Great question. Thank you. Operator: Ladies and gentlemen, that does conclude our question-and-answer session. I will now turn the call back over to Phil for closing comments. Filipe de Sousa: Krista, we're -- since we've got over here on time, I think we're just going to end, and I'll address the retail questions we typically have had during the third quarter as we kind of stand up a new Investor Relations website going forward, and we'll be very responsive to that team, to that group of interest. With that, I'll turn it back over to Dylan for any closing remarks. Dylan Taylor: Thank you, Phil. Well, just to wrap up, thank you all for the very thoughtful questions. We are super excited as we enter this Q3, not only with the Astrobotic acquisition, but the opportunity with the Starlab Phase 2 contract award and RFP, our ability to execute on these Golden Dome awards and continue to build significant pipeline and opportunities there and executing on our overall business. So thank you all. Again, I just want to plug one more time, one last time, our Investor Day, December 3 in Pittsburgh. We'll have lots of hardware to show off. We're also thinking about providing a few slots for retail investors. So stay tuned on that approach. But yes, thank you all for your attention and your support of Voyager Technologies. We appreciate it. Have a great day. Operator: Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude today's conference call. Thank you for your participation, and you may now disconnect.

Interested in Voyager Technologies, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Record Q2 performance: Revenue rose 15% year over year to $53 million, while bookings reached $113 million and backlog hit $336 million, producing a 2.1x book-to-bill ratio. 2026 outlook raised: Voyager increased revenue guidance to $275 million–$305 million, including $40 million–$50 million from its Astrobotic acquisition, while continuing to invest heavily in R&D and production capacity. Defense and lunar growth drivers: Golden Dome missile-defense awards accounted for $84 million of quarterly bookings, while Astrobotic expands Voyager’s lunar capabilities and adds nearly $300 million in NASA-related awards that could boost future backlog. 5 Space Stocks Face a Brutal Correction: Which Ones Are Still Buys? Voyager Technologies (NYSE:VOYG) reported record second-quarter revenue, bookings and backlog as demand increased across defense modernization, national security and space-related programs. The company also raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook following the July acquisition of lunar-services company Astrobotic. Revenue for the second quarter reached $53 million, up 51% sequentially and 15% from a year earlier, as development programs moved into production, Chief Financial Officer Phil De Sousa said. Quarterly bookings rose to a record $113 million, producing a 2.1 times book-to-bill ratio and lifting backlog to a record $336 million. → No Hangover: Revisiting Microsoft One Week After Earnings 3 Space Infrastructure Stocks Gaining Momentum Ahead of the SpaceX IPO Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $38 million, which De Sousa said was modestly ahead of internal expectations. The company continued to spend on engineering, internally funded research and development, manufacturing capacity and production infrastructure, characterizing 2026 as an investment year. Voyager raised its 2026 revenue guidance to $275 million to $305 million, representing projected year-over-year growth of approximately 66% to 84%. The updated outlook includes an expected $40 million to $50 million contribution from Astrobotic during the remainder of 2026. → MarketBeat Week in Review – 08/03 - 08/07 2 Under the Radar Space & Defense Stocks With Huge Potential De Sousa told analysts that Astrobotic’s expected contribution was not the only driver of the higher outlook. He said Voyager’s core business also contributed through stronger-than-expected first-half execution and a larger backlog entering the second half. The company expects revenue to accelerate through the latter half of the year, with approximately 40% of second-half revenue expected in the third quarter and 60% in the fourth quarter. Voyager expects gross margin to improve sequentially as production volumes increase and fixed costs are spread across a larger revenue base. → Why the Landlord of the AI Boom Could Outlast the Chipmakers In response to an analyst question, De Sousa said Voyager expects gross profit margins of roughly 17% in the third quarter and low-20% levels in the fourth quarter, supporting its full-year expectation for gross margins in the mid-teens. He said the company expects further leverage as revenue scales in 2027. Internally funded R&D is expected to reach approximately 20% of full-year revenue. Capital expenditures excluding Starlab are projected at $70 million to $80 million. Voyager ended the quarter with $429 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $641 million of total liquidity, including available borrowing capacity. Chief Executive Officer Dylan Taylor said $84 million of the quarter’s $113 million in awards was related to Golden Dome, a missile-defense modernization initiative. The awards spanned more than five programs, customers and technology platforms, according to De Sousa. About 60% of Golden Dome-related awards were tied to space-based interceptor programs, De Sousa said. He added that revenue from space-based interceptor programs in the second quarter was comparable with revenue from the company’s Next Generation Interceptor, or NGI, work. Voyager expects NGI revenue of approximately $45 million to $50 million in 2026, compared with about $47 million in 2025. De Sousa said the company had passed its propulsion critical design review and still expects a low-rate initial production contract could arrive before year-end. The company has previously estimated that its work on Lockheed Martin’s NGI program could generate about $1 billion in value over more than five years. Beyond missile defense, Voyager cited awards in advanced propulsion, mission electronics, autonomous mission systems and AI-enabled technologies. Taylor highlighted a multi-million-dollar award for an agentic AI spectrum operations platform for an undisclosed customer, saying the work is associated with autonomous decision-making needs in defense and national-security environments. Voyager completed its Astrobotic acquisition after the quarter ended for a total potential enterprise value of about $300 million. The consideration included approximately $171 million in upfront cash and equity, plus performance-based earn-out opportunities. Taylor said Astrobotic adds lunar delivery, surface mobility, robotics, autonomous systems, reusable launch technologies and infrastructure capabilities. He said the transaction expands Voyager’s role in the lunar technology stack while creating potential revenue synergies with its existing communications, computing, propulsion and mission-system businesses. Astrobotic recently received nearly $300 million in NASA awards for Commercial Lunar Payload Services, or CLPS, missions. De Sousa said those awards were not included in Voyager’s $336 million second-quarter backlog because the acquisition closed after quarter-end. He said the company expects backlog to increase substantially in the third and fourth quarters. Voyager did not provide detailed revenue-recognition timing for the CLPS awards, citing the recent closing of the acquisition and ongoing contract work. De Sousa said the company is not assuming a significant contribution from those awards in 2026, with Astrobotic’s near-term focus centered on its Griffin mission. Voyager also provided an update on Starlab, its commercial low-Earth-orbit station venture. De Sousa said Starlab has secured more than $500 million in signed commercial reservations and is approaching $600 million. The program received $4 million in NASA milestone funding during the quarter, bringing cumulative milestone payments to approximately $211 million, or nearly all of the $218 million expected under the current phase of its Space Act agreement. Taylor said NASA’s draft Phase 2 commercial low-Earth-orbit destination request for proposals was more consistent with the original Phase 1 approach after the agency sought industry feedback. He said Voyager expects a final request for proposals shortly, submissions in the middle to latter part of the fall and a selection early next year, though NASA continues to refine timing and requirements. Voyager plans to host its 2026 Investor Day on Dec. 3 in Pittsburgh, where management said it expects to provide additional detail on 2027 and the company’s lunar, defense and space-infrastructure opportunities. We are an innovation-driven defense technology and space solutions company.

Release Date: August 04, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Record revenue of $53 million, up 51% sequentially and 15% year-over-year, driven by programs transitioning from development to production. Record bookings of $113 million and a 2.1x book-to-bill ratio, leading to a record backlog of $336 million and strong visibility into 2026 and 2027. Completed the acquisition of Astrobotic, expanding capabilities across the lunar value chain and expected to contribute $40-$50 million in revenue for 2026. Raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $275-$305 million, representing growth of 66%-84% year-over-year. Starlab secured over $500 million in signed commercial reservations, demonstrating strong market demand and progress toward commercialization. Golden Dome-related awards totaled $84 million, spanning multiple customers and platforms, including space-based interceptor programs, diversifying revenue streams beyond NGI. Adjusted EBITDA remained a loss of $38 million, reflecting continued heavy investment in engineering, R&D, and production capacity. Gross margins remain below long-term targets, with Q2 margins at just over 8%, though expected to improve in the second half. Starlab milestone funding is moderating as the program transitions from Phase I development, with timing of the next phase still uncertain. The Astrobotic acquisition adds integration risks and complexity, with its full-year 2027 revenue contribution and mission timing still being finalized. Internally funded R&D is expected to increase to approximately 20% of full-year revenue, and capital expenditures are high at $70-$80 million, pressuring near-term profitability. The company remains dependent on government programs like Golden Dome and NASA's evolving CLD plan, which carry schedule and procurement risks. Q: Can you provide more detail on the $84 million in Golden Dome-related awards booked this quarter and what the opportunity looks like going forward?A: CFO Filipe De Sousa detailed that the $84 million in Golden Dome awards came from more than five different customers, platforms, and programs. Notably, about 60% of that total was tied specifically to space-based interceptor (SBI) programs, which are now contributing revenue on par with the Next-Generation Interceptor (NGI) program. CEO Dylan Taylor added that SBI opportunities were not even on the radar six months ago, and the rapid adoption of Voyager's technology across multiple SBI programs exceeds expectations, making him "extremely bullish" on the Golden Dome opportunity. Q: How should we think about the second-half revenue cadence and the potential for upside to the raised 2026 guidance?A: CFO Filipe De Sousa explained that the guidance raise reflects both the Astrobotic contribution ($40M-$50M) and strong core business performance. He noted that record backlog provides "tremendous visibility" into the second-half ramp, with approximately 40% of second-half revenue expected in Q3 and 60% in Q4. While management has been conservative in guidance, De Sousa acknowledged there is "upside potential" given the accelerating demand environment. Q: What is the expected revenue run rate for Astrobotic, and how will the recent NASA CLPS lunar lander awards (worth nearly $300 million) impact revenue and bookings?A: CFO Filipe De Sousa stated that Astrobotic is expected to contribute $40M-$50M in 2026, with a significant second-half ramp tied to the Griffin mission. He emphasized that the current record backlog of $336 million contains "$0" from Astrobotic, and the nearly $300 million in NASA CLPS awards will be booked in Q3, making it an "exceptional" quarter. Full-year 2027 guidance will be provided at the December 3 Investor Day. Q: Can you discuss the strategic M&A landscape and how Voyager plans to deploy capital going forward?A: CEO Dylan Taylor expressed optimism about the M&A pipeline, noting that companies increasingly recognize the need to be part of a larger platform for major infrastructure projects. He emphasized a strategic, not opportunistic, approach focused on completing the lunar technology stack (landers, mobility, habitation, power, propulsion) and integrated propulsion capabilities. Taylor highlighted the "extremely robust" pipeline and expects accretive M&A opportunities that are financially, technologically, and strategically beneficial. Q: What specifically changed in NASA's Commercial LEO Destinations (CLD) plan, and what gives you confidence in the current Starlab timeline?A: CEO Dylan Taylor explained that NASA initially floated a government-owned core module concept but reversed course after industry feedback. The draft Phase 2 RFP is now more consistent with the Phase 1 approach. Taylor expects the final RFP shortly, submissions in mid-to-late fall, and a selection early next year. He noted that Voyager's single-launch, operational-day-one solution is "highly differentiated." CFO Filipe De Sousa added that Starlab has secured over $500 million (approaching $600 million) in signed commercial reservations, demonstrating strong market demand. Q: Can you provide an update on the American Defense Complex build-out and traction with solid rocket motors (SRMs) and the captive Black Powder asset?A: CFO Filipe De Sousa noted that significant investment has been made on-site, and the facility is already enabling innovation, prototyping, and testing that catalyzed the space-based interceptor award wins. CEO Dylan Taylor confirmed CapEx deployment is on schedule and expressed optimism about SRM and Black Powder traction, stating "we are very optimistic that that growth factor is what we thought it was," with more details expected in Q3. Q: What is the expected book-to-bill ratio for the second half of 2026?A: CFO Filipe De Sousa guided that Q3 will be "truly exceptional" due to the $300 million NASA CLPS awards booked post-acquisition. For Q4, he expects a book-to-bill of approximately 1.2-1.3, similar to the first-half average, as things normalize. This indicates continued strong demand and backlog growth. Q: Has the 2026 revenue contribution from the Next-Generation Interceptor (NGI) program changed, and what milestones are needed for LRIP in 2027?A: CFO Filipe De Sousa confirmed no change to NGI expectations, with revenue remaining flat at approximately $45M-$50 million for 2026, consistent with prior guidance. The company has passed the critical design review for propulsion. De Sousa anticipates the LRIP contract could come before the end of the year, and views Lockheed Martin's NGI program as approximately $1 billion in value to Voyager over the next five-plus years as it moves from low-rate to high-rate production. Q: How confident are you in Starship's capacity to launch Starlab, and is there any timeline risk?A: CEO Dylan Taylor expressed no concern, stating that what Voyager needs from Starship is orbital insertion, which has already been demonstrated. He noted that SpaceX's current refinements focus on reentry, heat shield, refueling, and human-rated hardware, which are not required for Voyager's launch needs. "Short answer is no, we're not concerned with their ability to launch us," Taylor said. Q: Can you provide more detail on the agentic AI contract win and the broader opportunity in this space?A: CEO Dylan Taylor described the contract as deeply embedded in the classified community, limiting details. He highlighted a "huge opportunity" in the middle layer between traditional data-processing AI and full autonomy, where Voyager is at the forefront. The initiative is led by Co-Founder Matt Kuta, who previously led agentic AI initiatives at DARPA. Taylor believes the market doesn't fully understand this captured opportunity and expects significant growth, with more details on future calls. Q: What is the expected gross margin cadence for the second half of 2026 and into 2027?A: CFO Filipe De Sousa provided specific guidance: gross margins of approximately 17% in Q3 and "low 20 percentage For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Performance was driven by a decisive transition of multiple development programs into production, resulting in record revenue of $53 million. Management attributes the record $336 million backlog to demand building faster than revenue conversion, indicating durable customer demand rather than quarterly timing. The acquisition of Astrobotic is framed as a strategic pivot toward permanent space infrastructure, specifically targeting the lunar value chain and technology stack. Growth in the Defense & Space segment is described as structural rather than program-specific, supported by secular trends in missile defense and AI-enabled mission systems. Operating leverage is beginning to emerge as higher production volumes start to absorb fixed manufacturing and overhead costs. The 'Golden Dome' initiative is interpreted as a multiyear modernization framework rather than a single procurement opportunity, spanning sensing, propulsion, and autonomous systems. Management emphasizes a disciplined capital allocation strategy, prioritizing organic investment in manufacturing capacity and R&D to meet accelerating demand. Full year 2026 revenue guidance was raised to $275 million to $305 million, assuming a $40 million to $50 million contribution from Astrobotic. Revenue is expected to accelerate through the second half of 2026, with a projected split of 40% in the third quarter and 60% in the fourth quarter. Management expects meaningful sequential gross margin improvement as production volumes scale and manufacturing utilization improves. Internally funded R&D is projected to increase to approximately 20% of full year revenue to maintain competitive advantages in propulsion and AI. The Starlab program timeline assumes a final NASA RFP in the fall of 2026 with a selection process occurring in early 2027. Completed the acquisition of Astrobotic for a potential enterprise value of approximately $300 million, including $171 million in upfront consideration. Starlab has secured over $500 million in signed commercial reservations, signaling market validation beyond government funding. The company expanded its credit facility by $50 million post-quarter to increase liquidity for scaling production and potential M&A. Identified 'Agentic AI' as a high-growth 'Skunk Works' initiative for classified defense customers, focusing on real-time autonomous decision-making. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Management clarified that the guidance raise includes both the Astrobotic contribution and overperformance in the core business. The record book-to-bill ratio of 2.1x provides high visibility into the second-half ramp and potential upside for 2027. Management noted that Space-Based Interceptors (SBIs) were not on their radar six months ago but now match NGI in revenue contribution. The technology has been spec-ed into multiple SBI programs, which management believes bodes well for rapid adoption across the missile defense architecture. Management expressed increased confidence in Starlab following NASA's reversal on a government-owned core module approach. The Starlab joint venture is designed to flex spending to adapt to NASA's shifting timelines without compromising technical progress. CEO Dylan Taylor emphasized a strategic rather than opportunistic M&A approach, targeting specific gaps in the lunar tech stack like power and communications. The company aims to be an 'acquirer of choice' for smaller firms that need a larger platform to bid on major infrastructure projects.

Company delivers record revenue, bookings and backlog — raises full-year revenue guidance DENVER, August 03, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Voyager Technologies, Inc. [NYSE: VOYG] ("Voyager" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the second quarter 2026. Driven by record quarterly revenue, record bookings, continued acceleration in defense demand, completion of the Astrobotic acquisition and strong operational execution, Voyager is increasing its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $275 million to $305 million, representing 66% to 84% year-over-year growth. Business and Financial Performance Highlights Record quarterly revenue of $52.7 million, increasing 51% sequentially from the first quarter, reflecting strong execution across the portfolio. Record quarterly bookings of $113.0 million, resulting in a 2.1x Book-to-Bill ratio. Record backlog of $335.5 million, providing increased revenue visibility into 2027. Accelerated Golden Dome momentum with $84.3 million in awards across multiple customers, programs of record and technology platforms. Awarded a next-generation Agentic AI spectrum dominance program supporting autonomous mission systems. Completed the transformational acquisition of Astrobotic, significantly expanding Voyager's integrated space infrastructure platform. Increased full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $275 million – $305 million, representing 66% to 84% year-over-year growth. "Voyager had a defining quarter — record revenue, record bookings and record backlog, the acquisition of Astrobotic Technology, and increased full-year guidance — reflecting exceptional execution against accelerating demand across defense modernization, national security and space," said Dylan Taylor, Chairman & CEO of Voyager Technologies. "The revenue performance demonstrates our ability to convert surging demand for purpose-built solutions into profitable growth. The bookings and backlog signal something more significant — a meaningful step-function change in our scale and market penetration." "Few companies can claim what Voyager occupies today: meaningful participation across defense technology, national security and the rapidly expanding space economy," continued Taylor. "Defense budgets are expanding. NASA and commercial space investment are accelerating. The convergence of these forces is creating a generational opportunity — and we are built for exactly this moment. Our differentiated technology portfolio, the investments we have made from our balance sheet to increase capability and capacity for the defense of our nation, gives us the foundation to capture the contracts that will define this industry's next decade. As global capital shifts toward resilient national security and space infrastructure, Voyager is uniquely positioned to translate that demand into durable, technology-driven growth and lasting value for our shareholders." Business and Financial Performance Results Quarterly bookings increased to $113.0 million, representing the strongest bookings quarter in Company history and resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 2.1x. Backlog increased to a record $335.5 million, providing increasing visibility into future revenue growth. Net sales increased to a record $52.7 million, representing approximately 51% sequential growth compared to the first quarter, reflecting continued execution across defense and national security programs and increasing contributions from recent acquisitions. The Company continued investing aggressively in innovation, manufacturing capacity, and strategic growth initiatives, while maintaining a strong liquidity position to support both organic growth and future acquisitions. Innovation is a foundational pillar of our long-term strategy and a key differentiator across the defense, national security and space sectors. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, innovation spend was 55.1% of net sales, excluding Starlab, and 102.0% on a consolidated basis - see Table 5 for additional details. We continue to make investments in technologies that we believe will define the future of defense and space operations, including artificial intelligence, advanced propulsion, resilient space architectures and mission-critical electronics. As a result, we will continue to move up the technology curve, providing customers with new advanced technologies and solutions. For example, during the quarter, we were awarded a contract to deliver a next-generation Agentic AI spectrum dominance platform that further advances our leadership in autonomous systems operations and AI-enabled decision support. For the quarter, we reported a net loss of $(46.5) million, or $(0.79) per share, and a non-GAAP adjusted loss of $(41.0) million, or $(0.70) per share. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $(37.5) million, primarily driven by the scaling of Starlab and ongoing investments to support future growth. Voyager maintains a strong financial position, ending the quarter with $373.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and total liquidity of $585.5 million, including $212.1 million available capacity under our revolver. This robust balance sheet provides significant flexibility to fund strategic growth initiatives, support program execution, and invest in innovation while maintaining disciplined capital management. Business Outlook for the Full Year 2026 For the full year 2026, we increased our guidance range to $275 million to $305 million. This outlook underscores the resilience of our business model and reflects the successful execution of its growth strategy and supported by our new backlog record. The foregoing estimates are forward-looking and reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including certain assumptions with respect to our ability to efficiently and on a timely basis integrate acquisitions, obtain and retain contracts, changes in the timing and/or amount of government spending, react to changes in the demand for our products, activities of competitors, changes in the regulatory environment, and general economic and business conditions in the United States and elsewhere in the world. Investors are reminded that actual results may differ materially from these estimates and investors should review all risks related to achievement of the guidance reflected under "forward-looking statements" below and in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Media Contact Dana Carroll, Marketing & Communications, [email protected] Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP and other companies in our industry may calculate them differently than we do. As a result, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical and comparative tools and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute, for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted loss per share and free cash flow should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual items. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow supplementally. Adjusted EBITDA We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful, supplemental, measure of our operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP measures in evaluating the performance of our business and the effectiveness of our strategies, to make budgeting decisions, make certain compensation decisions, and to compare our performance against that of our peer companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as they remove the impact of our capital structure and other items not indicative of our core operating performance from operating results. We define EBITDA as net loss attributable to Voyager Technologies, Inc. plus (less) finance and interest expense, provision for income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, business acquisition costs, restructuring charges, impairment losses, income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, and other items we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance, including incremental organizational costs attributable to our initial public offering, changes in the fair value of earnout liabilities, and foreign exchange gain/loss. Free Cash Flow We consider free cash flow to be a useful, supplemental measure of our ability to generate cash on a normalized basis. We use free cash flow to supplement GAAP measures in evaluating our flexibility to allocate capital and pursue opportunities that may enhance shareholder value and the effectiveness of our strategies, to make budgeting decisions and to compare our performance against that of our peer companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that while expenditures and dispositions of property, plant and equipment will fluctuate on a period-to-period basis, we seek to ensure that we have adequate capital on hand to maintain ongoing operations and enable growth of the business. Additionally, free cash flow is of limited usefulness in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact the measures do not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments. We define free cash flow as the sum of our cash (used in) provided by operating activities less our net capital expenditures. The net capital expenditures of the Company are defined as the gross capital expenditures for the purchase of property and equipment less the grant funding we received in order to make such purchases. Based on the nature of government grants for purposes of funding capital expenditures on our Starlab program, these grants are pass through for purposes of making capital expenditures as they are directly used to source funding on capital expenditures. Our calculation of free cash flow may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted Earnings Per Share We consider adjusted earnings per share to be a useful, supplemental measure of our operations on a per share basis adjusting for items that are considered either non-operational or significant infrequent expenses or that are sources of income that are not recurring to the business on a frequent basis. We define adjusted earnings per share as the net income/loss attributable to common stockholders adjusted for stock-based compensation, business acquisition costs, restructuring, deferred income tax expense, and other items mainly related to financing expenses and other individually immaterial items divided by our diluted basis number of weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Since the adjustments made for presentational purposes do not impact the tax basis of the Company, the adjustments have been presented on a tax free basis. Innovation Spend We are focused on delivering innovative solutions to the defense, national security and space end markets, and research and development is at the core of our business. We believe innovation spend and innovation spend excluding Starlab provide our management and investors useful measures of our aggregate spend on research and development type activities in support of our customers’ needs and our future growth. However, innovation spend is an operating metric, not a financial measure calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, and companies in our industry may calculate innovation spend or similar operating metrics differently than we do. We define innovation spend as research and development costs associated with IRS Section 174 categorization, as well as spend on designated development programs. Development programs are defined as initiatives that, when developed, will expand the Company’s product offerings under a customer funded arrangement. Innovation spend is comprised of various costs recognized in cost of sales and research and development costs within the consolidated statements of operations, as well as certain costs capitalized within property and equipment, net on our consolidated balance sheets. We define innovation spend excluding Starlab as innovation spend, minus the portion of innovation spend attributable to Starlab Space Stations.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Kratos (KTOS) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates. The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on August 4. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise. This military contractor is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.13 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +18.2%. Revenues are expected to be $411.69 million, up 17.1% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 5.88% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core. The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only. A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP. Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell). For Kratos, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +11.70%. On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4. So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Kratos will beat the consensus EPS estimate. While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number. For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Kratos would post earnings of $0.13 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.16, delivering a surprise of +23.08%. Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times. An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss. That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported. Kratos doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release. Another stock from the Zacks Aerospace - Defense Equipment industry, Voyager Technologies, Inc. (VOYG), is soon expected to post loss of $0.95 per share for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -58.3%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $48.43 million, up 6% from the year-ago quarter. Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Voyager Technologies, Inc. has remained unchanged. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of +6.32%, reflecting a higher Most Accurate Estimate. When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP indicates that Voyager Technologies, Inc. will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times. An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss. That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported. Voyager Technologies, Inc. appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate.
