Redwire Corporation announced preliminary financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 and provided an update on the delay in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Redwire expects to generate between $135 million and $140 million in total GAAP revenue and between $146 million and $151 million in total pro forma revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, giving effect to the acquisitions completed in 2021 as provided for under Article 11 of Regulation S-X. In comparison to the Company’s previously provided guidance for 2021, the updated range reflects effects on the business and operating environment due to the Delta and Omicron variants and U.S. Government budget uncertainty. The results represent approximately 160% GAAP revenue growth and approximately 30% pro forma revenue growth for the year. As of December 31, 2021 our contracted backlog is expected to be between $133 million and $138 million and our uncontracted backlog is expected to be between $136 million and $138 million for a total backlog of between $269 million and $276 million.
Redwire achieved a number of significant technical and business milestones in the fourth quarter of 2021 and to date in 2022. The Company continued to build on its track record of technical and commercial achievement, including:
- Acquisition and integration of Techshot, Inc. a leader in on-orbit manufacturing and biotechnology solutions;
- The successful deployment of a Redwire Digital Sun Sensor system and two Redwire Roll-Out Solar Arrays (ROSA) aboard NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft, the world’s first planetary defense demonstration mission;
- The successful delivery of Redwire’s L-Band Link-16 Helical Antenna system for the Space Development Agency’s (SDA) first generation of the National Defense Space Architecture; and
- Partnering with leading space companies on the new Orbital Reef project, a proposed dynamic commercial ecosystem in Low Earth Orbit. This next-generation space station could leverage Redwire capabilities including our Roll Out Solar Arrays, digital engineering, and microgravity manufacturing expertise.
“We take great pride in our business accomplishments in 2021,”
said Peter Cannito, Redwire Chairman and CEO.
“We continue to build on our proven heritage of successful first-of-a-kind space missions now while investing significantly in new innovations that will shape the future of space for generations to come. This unique strategy of ‘heritage plus innovation’ delivered significant revenue growth and a great foundation for the future.”
As previously announced, Redwire management was notified on November 5, 2021 by an employee of potential accounting issues at a business subunit. Management promptly informed the Company’s independent Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, its independent registered accounting firm and the SEC. The Audit Committee also promptly engaged independent, external legal and accounting firms to complete an independent investigation.
The Audit Committee and Board of Directors have received a preliminary briefing from the independent investigation. To date, there have been no material misstatements identified in the Company’s previously filed financial statements. Redwire is working to finalize its third quarter 2021 Form 10-Q.
Added Cannito,
“The Board of Directors and the entire Redwire team take very seriously the values of accuracy and compliance in the preparation of our financial statements. We look forward to continuing to position Redwire for success in the long term. Our vision for humanity’s expansion into space extends into the next decade and beyond.”
