Spire Global Beats Q4 Estimates with 44% Core Sales Growth, Guides 50% Growth
Spire Global reported Q4 revenue of $15.8 million, topping estimates, with core sales up 44% and adjusted loss narrowing to $0.39 per share; gross margin rose to 41%. The debt-free company holds $81.8 million cash and forecasts over 50% 2026 revenue growth with 75% of guidance covered by contracts.
1. Q4 Financial Performance
Spire Global reported revenue of $15.8 million for Q4 2025, marginally exceeding consensus estimates. The satellite data firm narrowed its adjusted loss to $0.39 per share, achieved a 41% gross margin, and saw core sales rise 44% year-over-year excluding the divested maritime unit.
2. Balance Sheet Strength
The company ended the quarter debt-free with $81.8 million in cash and marketable securities, reinforcing liquidity for ongoing operational investments and strategic initiatives. Elevated legal and professional fees are expected to increase first-quarter non-GAAP operating losses but stem from long-term growth activities.
3. 2026 Guidance and Backlog Visibility
Spire forecasts over 50% revenue growth for 2026 excluding its maritime segment, driven by ramped satellite launches, expanded RF geolocation services, and NOAA commercial data purchases. Approximately 75% of its revenue guidance is underpinned by existing contracts, while margin targets of 60-70% are projected over the next three to five years.
