Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1034, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, and are not guarantees of future performance. The words “may,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intends,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “aim,” “strive,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements may relate to, but are not limited to: expectations regarding our strategies and future financial performance, including future business plans or objectives, the successful integration of acquired businesses, expected functionality of our geolocation services, anticipated timing and level of deployment of our services, anticipated demand and acceptance of our services, prospective performance and commercial opportunities and competitors, the timing of obtaining regulatory approvals, ability to finance our research and development activities, commercial partnership acquisition and retention, products and services, pricing, marketing plans, operating expenses, market trends, revenue, liquidity, cash flows and uses of cash, capital expenditures, and our ability to invest in growth initiatives; our ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination (as defined below), which may be affected by, among other things, competition, and the ability of the combined business to grow and manage growth profitably; factors relating to our future operations, projected capital resources and financial position, estimated revenue and losses, projected costs and capital expenditures, prospects and plans; projections of market growth and size, including the level of market acceptance for our services; our ability to adequately protect key intellectual property rights or proprietary technology; our ability to maintain our Location and Monitoring Service (“LMS”) licenses and obtain additional LMS licenses as necessary; our ability to maintain adequate operational financial resources or raise additional capital or generate sufficient cash flows; our ability to develop and maintain effective internal controls; our success in recruiting and/or retaining officers, key employees or directors; expansion plans and opportunities; costs related to being a public company; our ability to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq; and the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views of any subsequent date, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

For additional information regarding risk factors, see Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as those otherwise described or updated from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

On June 25, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No: 333-257441) (the “Form S-4”) related to the proposed Business Combination.

Other than as specifically discussed, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q does not assume the closing of the proposed business combination.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any cash, relying on the SPAC to fund all of its expenses. All amounts either already paid or expected to be paid by the SPAC are presented as due to affiliate on the consolidated Balance Sheet and are due within one year. The SPAC has until April 19, 2022 to complete its initial business combination. If the SPAC is unable to complete the initial business combination by April 19, 2022, the SPAC must cease all operations and dissolve and liquidate under Delaware law.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. If the SPAC is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a business combination by April 19, 2022, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Measurement of equity-based compensation with employees is based on the estimated grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of NextNav’s common stock on the date of grant. NextNav recognizes equity-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the grant, which is generally equal to the vesting period. NextNav accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution for common share equivalents and is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, adjusted for the effect of dilutive common share equivalents.

Restricted shares are included in the computation of basic EPS as they vest and are included in diluted EPS, to the extent they are dilutive, determined using the treasury stock method. Outstanding options and warrants are included in the computation of diluted EPS, to the extent they are dilutive, determined using the treasury stock method. 

The determination of the diluted weighted average shares is included in the following calculation of EPS:

Marketable Securities


The Company accountsinvests excess cash primarily in U.S. government agency bonds and money market funds. The Company classifies all marketable securities that have stated maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents, and those that have stated maturities of over three months as short-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determines the appropriate classification of investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company’s marketable securities are classified as trading and are measured at fair value with the related gains and losses, including unrealized, recognized in interest income (expense).


Equity Method Investment 


The Company applies the equity method of accounting to investments when it has significant influence, but not controlling interest, in the investee. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions.


The initial carrying value of equity method investment is based on the amount paid to purchase the interest in the investee entity. Subsequently, the investment is increased or decreased by the Company’s proportionate share in the investee’s earnings or losses and decreased by cash distributions from the investee. The Company eliminates from its financial results all significant intercompany transactions to the extent of its ownership interest, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investee. The Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss is recorded on a one quarter lag.  


The Company evaluates equity method investment for impairment based upon a comparison of the fair value of the equity method investment to its carrying value, when impairment indicators exist. If the Company determines a decline in the fair value of an equity method investment below its carrying value is other-than-temporary, an impairment is recorded.

NextNav leases office space under a non-cancellable lease as well as site leases for towers and shelters under operating leases related to its network under construction. Site leases are entered into throughout the United States under which NextNav receives the rights to install equipment used to transmit its services over its licensed spectrum. The Company, at the inception of the contract, determines whether a contract is or contains a lease based on assessment of the terms and conditions of the contract. The Company classifies leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. The Company has elected not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for its short-term leases, which are defined as leases with an initial term of twelve months or less.

9



The Company’s leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The option to renew may be automatic, at the option of NextNav or mutually agreed to between the landlord and NextNav. Lease terms include the non-cancellable term and periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

The Company’s lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Payments under the lease arrangements are primarily fixed. Non-lease components primarily include payments for utilities and maintenance. The Company combines fixed payments for non-lease components with lease payments and account for them together as a single lease component which increases the amount of the Company’s lease assets and liabilities. Certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the lease assets and liabilities. These amounts include payments for common area maintenance.

Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Lease assets are reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases or lease prepayments reclassified from “Other current assets” upon lease commencement.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet beginning January 1, 2022. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Monthly rent expense includes any site related utility payments or other fees such as administrative or up-front fees contained in the lease agreements that are determinable upon execution of the lease agreement.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The new guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to the nature, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In July 2018, the FASB amended the new lease standard which, among other changes, allows a company to elect to adopt ASU 2016-02 using a transition option whereby a cumulative effect adjustment is recorded to the opening balance of its retained earnings on the adoption date. The Company has elected to use this modified retrospective transition option and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $0.5 million, net of tax, as of January 1, 2022. The Company also elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, including to retain the historical lease classification as well as relief from reviewing expired or existing contracts to determine if they contain leases. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities of $13.4 million and $10.5 million, respectively. The standard did not have a significant effect on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and Cash Flows. See Note 4 for additional lease disclosures.

In December 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-02, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to improve consistency and simplify several areas of existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requiresin an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. 

Recent Accounting Developments Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires that an entity measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost and replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate credit losses. The guidance also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The Company is continuing to assess the potential impacts of ASU 2016-13 on its financial statements. 


In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). The ASU requires an acquiring entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities for bothacquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than at fair value. The Company expects to early adopt this ASU in the expectedfourth quarter of 2022 and expects the impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefitadopting this ASU to be derived from tax lossimmaterial.

5. Equity Method Investment

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s total ownership of MetComInc., a privately-owned Japanese joint stock company (kabushikikaisha) (“MetCom”), consists of 702,334 shares representing ownership of 14.8%. The Company provides licenses to its technology, infrastructure and subscriber equipment to MetCom to support MetCom’s efforts in commercializing terrestrial positioning technology (both TerraPoiNT and Pinnacle) in Japan. Due to the technological dependencies, the Company's equity ownership and representation on MetCom's board of directors, the Company has significant influence, but not controlling interest, over MetCom. The Company’s investment in MetComis currentlyaccounted for under the equity method. The basis difference in the Company’s cost basis and the basis reflected at the investee entity level is allocated to equity method goodwill and is not awareamortized. We recognized a loss of any issues under review$0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that could resultis recorded in significant payments, accruals, or material deviation from its position. other income (expenses). The carrying value of our investment in MetCom was $1.0 million as of September 30, 2022 and is classified in other long-term assets. 


The Company holds a warrant (the “Warrant”) issued by MetCom which entitles the Company to purchase additional shares at an exercise price of JPY10 per share, such that the Company may obtain an aggregate total of 33% of MetCom common stock on an “as-converted” basis. The Warrant is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

The Company’s management determined that the United States is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefitscertain vesting conditions which were not met as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties for the period from May 21, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021. The Company is currently2022; therefore, the Warrant was not awareexercisable.

6. Warrants and Warrant Liability

As of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The provision for income taxes was deemed immaterial for the period ending September 30, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently2022, NextNav had 18,749,990 warrants outstanding including: (a) 9,999,990 public warrants sold in connection with Spartacus’ initial public offering (the “Public Warrants”) and (b) 8,750,000 warrants issued but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would havein a material effectprivate placement on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 — Common Stockinitial public offering closing date (the “Private Placement Warrants”).

The Company is authorizedHolders of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are entitled to issue up to 100acquire shares of common stock of NextNav. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination.  


12



NextNav has the right to redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sales price of the Company’s common stock matched or exceeded $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which NextNav sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical in all respects to the Public Warrants except that, so long as they are held by the current holder or its permitted transferees: (i) they will not be redeemable by NextNav; (ii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (iii) they are subject to registration rights.


In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, AT&T Services, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“AT&T”) elected to exchange its outstanding warrants in Holdings for a parnew warrant to purchase an aggregate of 4,320,133 shares of NextNav’s common stock, subject to adjustment, at an exercise price of $0.01 (the “AT&T Warrant”). On May 23, 2022, AT&T exercised the AT&T Warrant using a net settlement method and received 4,308,297 shares of common stock of NextNav. 

7. Fair Value

NextNav uses observable and unobservable inputs to determine the value of $0.0001its assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. The three-tier hierarchy for inputs used to measure fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the methodologies of measuring fair value for assets and liabilities, where applicable, is as follows:

- Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

- Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

- Level 3 — No observable pricing inputs in the market

Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. NextNav’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. NextNav effectuates transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, if any, as of the date of the actual circumstance that caused the transfer.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company classifies the U.S. government agency bonds, which are accounted for as trading, within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, because the Company uses quoted market prices to the extent available or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine fair value. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, amounts included in other current assets, and current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Assets, liabilities, and equity instruments that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include fixed assets and intangible assets. The Company recognizes these items at fair value when they are considered to be impaired or upon initial recognition. The fair value of these assets and liabilities are determined with valuation techniques using the best information available and may include quoted market prices, market comparables and discounted cash flow models.

Level 3 Liabilities 

The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to assist with the fair value analysis of the warrants. The analysis used commonly accepted valuation methodologies and best practices to determine the fair value of the equity, in accordance with fair value standards and U.S. GAAP. For the Private Placement Warrants that were outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, NextNav used a Monte Carlo simulation model.

8. Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Units

The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity reflect the Business Combination as of October 28, 2021. As Holdings was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, all periods prior to the consummation date reflect the balances and activity of Holdings. The balances as of September 30, 2022 and 2021 and December 31, 2021 and 2020 from the financial statements of Holdings as of that date, share activity (redeemable preferred units, common units, additional paid in capital, and accumulated deficit) and per share. share amounts were retroactively adjusted, where applicable.

Conversion — Preferred Units were convertible to Class A Common Units at any time at the option of the holder based on a stated conversion ratio. The initial conversion ratio was one Preferred Unit for one Class A Common Unit. The conversion ratio was subject to certain adjustments as defined in Holdings’ operating agreement. Preferred Units would automatically convert into Class A Common Units upon (i) in the case of the Class D Redeemable Preferred Units, the affirmative election of the holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding Class D Redeemable Preferred Units or (ii) in the case of the Class C Redeemable Preferred Units, the affirmative election of the holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding Class C Redeemable Preferred Units or (iii) a Public Offering (as defined in Holdings’ operating agreement) where gross proceeds were at least $75 million.

14




Voting — The holders of Preferred Units were entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of common units into which the shares of Preferred Units held by each holder were then convertible. In addition, certain actions required the affirmative approval of 66 2/3% of Class C Redeemable Preferred Units and Class D Redeemable Preferred Units (each voting as a separate class), including liquidation or dissolution of Holdings, creation of a senior class of units, payment of preferred return, increasing the authorized number of Common or Preferred Units, or amendment of Holdings’ operating agreement.

Redemption — The Class C Redeemable Preferred Units were redeemable by Holdings, at the request of the majority of the then-outstanding Class C Redeemable Preferred Unit holders, over a three-year period commencing on or after the date upon which no Class D Redeemable Preferred Units were outstanding, at a per unit price of $0.44, plus any accrued and unpaid preferred return, whether or not declared. The Class D Redeemable Preferred Units were redeemable by Holdings, at the request of the holders of 66 2/3% of the then-outstanding Class D Redeemable Preferred Unit holders, over a three-year period commencing on or after the later of September 1, 2021 and the date that was 91 days after the earlier of December 27, 2026 and the date upon which Holdings’ obligations under the senior secured loan facility (the “Financing Agreement”), which Holdings entered into in December 2019 and amended in June 2021 with Fortress Credit Corporation, were satisfied in full, provided that in either case neither a qualified offering or a capital transaction had occurred prior to such request, at a per unit price of $2.13 for units issued in 2012, $2.56 for units issued in 2014, $2.89 for units issued in September 2016, and $5.78 and $11.56 for units issued in December 2019, plus any accrued and unpaid preferred return, whether or not declared.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies


From time to time, the Company is party to litigation and other legal matters incidental to the conduct of its business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. The Company accrues liabilities for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was not involved in any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, which management believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.


10. Income Taxes

The Company computes its year-to-date provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income or loss and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. A valuation allowance has been established against the Company’s U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, which results in an annualized effective tax rate for the Company’s U.S. operations of 0%. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.02 million related to foreign tax activity on a pretax income of $18.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.08%For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.01 million related to foreign tax activity on a pretax loss of $32.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.03%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.04 million related to foreign tax activity on a pretax loss of $27.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.15%For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.04 million related to foreign tax activity on a pretax loss of $98.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.04%. These effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowance against the Company’s domestic deferred tax assets. 


11. Subsequent Events

The Company has completed an evaluation of all subsequent events through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure that this filing includes appropriate disclosure of events both recognized in the financial statements and events which occurred subsequently but were not recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company notes the following:


Nestwave Acquisition


On October 31, 2022 (“Closing Date”), the Company acquired all outstanding equity in Nestwave, SAS (“Nestwave”), a privately held French company that is a global leader in low-power geolocation. Total consideration paid was $19.3 million, consisting of $4.3 million in cash, which is subject to customary adjustments in accordance with the share transfer agreement; and $15.0 million by issuance of 5.1 million shares of NextNav’s common stock, comprised of 4.0 million shares of common stock that were issued on the Closing Date and 1.1 million shares of common stock to be issued post-closing. The acquisition is expected to significantly accelerate the availability of resilient 3D position, navigation and timing, release the underlying spectrum’s capacity for additional data-oriented services and enables broader penetration of NextNav’s applications and technology across the handset and device ecosystem for all of its products and target markets.

The acquisition will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company is in the process of determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Overview

We are the market leader in delivering next generation positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions that overcome the limitations of existing space-based GPS. The world increasingly requires more accurate and resilient PNT capabilities. Public safety, autonomous vehicles, electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (eVTOLs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and the app economy all require precise 3D location solutions. Paramedics need to know which apartment a 911 call originated from, ride hailing and delivery apps need to know precisely where you are standing and game developers need precise 3D location data to deliver a next generation augmented reality experience.  

In early 2021, we launched the first element of our next generation GPS service through initial commercial service on our nationwide Pinnacle network that was deployed in partnership with AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T”). The Pinnacle network provides “floor-level” altitude detection to over 90% of commercial structures over three stories in the U.S. and is being utilized by FirstNet® for public safety, as well as a growing number of commercial apps and app development platforms, including Atlas Earth, Unity Engine, Eco3d, CRG, GeoComm, Rapid Deploy, NGA 911, Qualcomm, and the Unreal Engine. In December 2021, we entered into an agreement with one of the nation’s largest wireless carriers to deliver vertical location for enhanced 911 (E911), using our Pinnacle 911 solution for all its customers. We believe that ramp up of services using our existing deployed network will support significant revenue growth over the coming years. We entered into a services agreement with AT&T for distribution of our services to FirstNet® customers, and on October 7, 2022, we amended the agreement for an additional term of three months, expiring in January 2023.


We will be extending our capabilities by expanding the deployment our TerraPoiNT system, which is a nationwide network that is designed to overcome the inherent limitations of traditional GPS. TerraPoiNT utilizes a network of specialized wide area location transmitters that broadcast an encrypted PNT signal on our licensed 900 MHz spectrum with a signal that is 100,000 times stronger than GPS. TerraPoiNT is well suited for urban and indoor environments where existing GPS signals are either distorted or blocked all together. In addition, TerraPoiNT provides redundancy for GPS, which is vulnerable to spoofing and jamming. GPS redundancy is increasingly a U.S. national security priority and is a rising priority in the other thanparts of the world. Critical infrastructure, including communications networks and power grids, require a reliable GPS signal for accurate timing. A failure of GPS would be catastrophic, and there currently is no comprehensive, terrestrial backup that is widely deployed. 


As of September 2022, TerraPoiNT is deployed and available, with metro-wide service in San Francisco and select services available in 51 total markets nationally. It is also in use by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) at its Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA for drone operations research. 


Since the inception of NextNav, LLC in 2007, we have filed over 135 patents related to our systems and services, and standardized our TerraPoiNT technology in 3GPP, the global telecommunications standards-setting body. 


In addition, we have secured valuable Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) licenses for a contiguous 8 MHz band of 900 MHz spectrum covering approximately 93% of the U.S. population.  Spectrum is a limited resource, and less spectrum is available at lower frequencies.  We believe our lower-frequency spectrum offers better building penetration and propagation, improving the effectiveness of our TerraPoiNT service especially in metropolitan areas.  Others have used nearby spectrum for LTE, electric grid resiliency and other services.

Public Company Costs


As a publicly traded company, we will continue to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees that Holdings has not previously incurred.

Key Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We have generated limited revenue since our inception. We derive our revenue from “floor-level” altitude location data, and related products and services as well as from other PNT products and services. Our revenue includes revenue generated through services contracts with wireless carriers, services with applications developers, technology demonstration, assessment and support contracts with government customers, sales of equipment, and licensing of proprietary technology. We recognize revenue when an arrangement exists, services, equipment or access to licensed technology are delivered, the transaction price is determined, the arrangement has commercial substance, and collection of consideration is probable.

Operating Expense

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold (“COGS”) consist of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, and allocated facility costs for our operations and manufacturing teams. COGS also includes expenses for site leases, cost of equipment, and professional services related to the maintenance of the equipment at each leased site. We expect our operations costs to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in the expansion of our Pinnacle and TerraPoiNT networks in domestic U.S. and international markets.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, and allocated facility costs for our research and development functions. Research and development costs also include outside professional services for software and hardware development, cloud hosting costs, and software licensing costs. We expect our research and development costs to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research and development for our current products and future products.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, and allocated facility costs for our business development, marketing, corporate, executive, finance, legal, human resources, IT and other administrative functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include expenses for outside professional services, including legal, auditing and accounting services, recruitment expenses, travel expenses and certain non-income taxes, insurance and other administrative expenses.

We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future with the growth of our business, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, and additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities, and other administrative and professional services. As a result, we expect our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars but may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue over time.

17


Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense results from depreciation and amortization of our property and equipment and intangible assets that is recognized over their estimated useful lives.

Interest Income (Expense)

Interest expense relates to interest on our senior secured loan facility, which was fully repaid in connection with closing of the Business Combination. Interest income consists of interest earned from our cash and cash equivalents balance.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) consists of miscellaneous non-operating items, such as change in fair value of warrants, equity method income (loss), and foreign currency gains (losses).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses since our inception and to date have generated only limited revenue. Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, we had funded our operations primarily through the issuances of convertible preferred units and through borrowing under an existing senior secured loan facility (the “Financing Agreement”), which Holdings entered into in December 2019 and amended in June 2021 with Fortress Credit Corporation (“Fortress Facility”).

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (See Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information), all amounts outstanding under the Financing Agreement were repaid and the Financing Agreement was terminated. As a result, we had no debt outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred net losses of $27.6 million and $98.5 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our net cash used in operating activities and investing activities was $25.2 million and $11.3 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our net cash used in operating activities and investing activities was $29.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $71.8 million and an accumulated deficit of $676.0 million. We expect to incur additional losses and higher operating expenses for the foreseeable future. Our primary uses of cash are to fund our operations as we continue to grow our business. We will require a significant amount of cash for expenditures as we invest in ongoing research and development and the expansion of the TerraPoiNT network. Managing liquidity and our cash position is a priority of the Company. We continually work to optimize our expenses in light of the growth of our business, and adapt to changes in the economic environment. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2022 will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for the next 12 months. We believe we will meet longer term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of our existing cash and cash equivalents balances and marketable securities, cash flows from operations, and issuance of equity securities or debt offerings. However, this determination is based upon internal projections and is subject to changes in market and business conditions.   

Pandemic Impact

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As such, it is not possible to determine the duration and scope of the pandemic, the scale and rate of economic recovery from the pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and labor availability and costs, or the impact of other indirect factors that may be attributable to the pandemic, and the extent to which these or other currently unanticipated consequences of the pandemic are reasonably likely to materially affect our results of operations. In addition, these direct and indirect factors can make it difficult to isolate and quantify the portion of our costs that are a direct result of inflation, the pandemic and costs arising from factors that may have been influenced by the pandemic, including without limitation, statementsincreased wage rates and incentives resulting from constrained labor markets and global supply chain constraints. Management continues to actively monitor our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry and workforce. We expect these factors and their effects on our operations to continue through the remainder of 2022. 

Macroeconomic factors

We are aware that network deployment projects are experiencing delays in schedules and potential cost increases due to a tight labor supply in the field services market.  While the impact of this supply constraint is not material to the Company's network projects at this time, we continue to carefully manage labor and materials supply matters.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our cash flows used in operating activities are significantly affected by the growth of our business and are primarily related to research and development, sales and marketing, and selling, general and administrative activities. Our operating cash flows are also affected by our working capital needs to support growth in personnel-related expenditures and fluctuations in accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $25.2 million, resulting primarily from a net loss of $27.6 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $20.6 million for stock-based compensation, $2.7 million for depreciation and amortization, and non-cash income of $23.2 million for change in the fair value of warrant liability. Additionally, there was a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $2.2 million.

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $29.4 million, resulting primarily from a net loss of $98.5 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $61.2 million for change in the fair value of warrant liability, $5.5 million for contingent rent expense, $4.2 million for interest expense, $1.1 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.7 million for amortization of debt issuances costs, $1.0 million for stock-based compensation, and a decrease of $4.8 million in operating assets and liabilities.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $11.3 million, representing additions to short term investment, equity method investments, property and equipment primarily related to the deployment of the Pinnacle and TerraPoiNT network and internal use software.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $1.1 million, representing additions to property, equipment and related installation costs primarily related to the deployment of the Pinnacle Network.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $44 thousand, primarily reflecting cash proceeds from exercise of common stock options.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $18.5 million, primarily reflecting borrowing from the Fortress Facility.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Management Estimates

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to Item 7 under Part II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a Delaware corporation formed by Spartacus Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “SPAC”) on May 21,our 2021 (inception) to be the surviving company in connection with a proposed business combination between the SPAC and a target company. On June 3, 2021, the Company formed the Merger Entities (as defined below) for the purpose of consummating the proposed business combination described below. Each of the Merger Entities is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and has issued common stock and ownership interestForm 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company in consideration of its payment of incorporation expenses.


Agreementcritical accounting policies and Plan of Merger for a Business Combination

On June 9, 2021, the SPAC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with the Company, NextNav, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, NextNav Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), NEA 14 NextNav Blocker, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NEA Blocker”), Oak NextNav Blocker, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Oak Blocker”), Columbia Progeny Partners IV, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Columbia Blocker”), Global Long Short Partners Aggregating Holdings Del VII LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GS Blocker 1”), Global Private Opportunities Partners Holdings II Corp., a Delaware corporation, (“GS Blocker 2,” and collectively with NEA Blocker, Oak Blocker, Columbia Blocker, and GS Blocker 1, the “Blockers”), SASC (SPAC) Merger Sub 1 Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“MS 1”), SASC (Target) Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MS 2”), SASC (NB) Merger Sub 3 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MS 3”), SASC (OB) Merger Sub 4 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MS 4”), SASC (CB) Merger Sub 5 Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“MS 5”), SASC (GB1) Merger Sub 6 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MS 6”) , and SASC (GB2) Merger Sub 7 Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“MS 7,” and collectively with MS 1, MS 2, MS 3, MS 4, MS 5, and MS 6, the “Merger Entities”). The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, (a) MS 1 to be merged with and into the SPAC, with the SPAC surviving the merger; (b) MS 2 to be merged with and into Holdings, with Holdings surviving the merger; (c) MS 3 to be merged with and into NEA Blocker, with NEA Blocker surviving the merger; (d) MS 4 to be merged with and into Oak Blocker, with Oak Blocker surviving the merger; (e) MS 5 to be merged with and into Columbia Blocker, with Columbia Blocker surviving the merger; (f) MS 6 to be merged with and into GS Blocker 1, with GS Blocker 1 surviving the merger; and (g) MS 7 to be merged with and into GS Blocker 2, with GS Blocker 2 surviving the merger (the “Transactions”).

As a result of the Transactions, the SPAC, NEA Blocker, Oak Blocker, Columbia Blocker, GS Blocker 1, GS Blocker 2 and Holdings and the various operating subsidiaries of Holdings (we refer to Holdings and its operating subsidiaries collectively as “NextNav”), will become wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, and the SPAC’s stockholders, the equity holders of each of NEA Blocker, Oak Blocker, Columbia Blocker, GS Blocker 1, GS Blocker 2, and the equity holders of Holdings, will become stockholders of the Company.

The aggregate consideration to be paid to the equity holders of Holdings, NEA Blocker, Oak Blocker, Columbia Blocker, GS Blocker 1 and GS Blocker 2 in the Transactions will consist of approximately 75 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of the equity consideration will be based on a $10.00 per share value for the common stock.

Pursuant to the SPAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the SPAC will be providing its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the closing of the Transactions, their shares of Class A common stock of the SPAC for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on depositestimates as of two business days prior to the consummation of the TransactionsSeptember 30, 2022 as outlined in the trust account (which holds the proceeds of the SPAC’s initial public offering, less taxes payable).

Upon the consummation of the business combination, the Company intends to change its name to “NextNav Inc.”

The consummation of the business combination is subject to certain conditions as further described in the Merger Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, certain “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or institutional “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act) (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), entered into subscription agreements (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have committed to subscribe for and purchase 20.5 million shares of the SPAC’s Class A common stock (the “PIPE Shares”) at a purchase price per share of $10.00 for aggregate gross proceeds of $205 million. The purchase of the PIPE Shares will be consummated immediately prior to the Closing, with such PIPE Shares immediately being cancelled in connection with the mergers and in consideration for newly issued common stock of the Company.

For additional information regarding NextNav, the Merger Agreement and related agreements and the Transactions, refer to the Registration Statement onour 2021 Form S-4/A10-K, filed by the Company with the SEC on August 25, 2021, whichMarch 23, 2022.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

For information regarding new accounting pronouncements, and the SEC declared effectiveimpact of these pronouncements on September 13, 2021.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenuesour condensed consolidated financial statements, refer to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities and those necessaryNote 2 to prepareour condensed consolidated financial statements for the proposed business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We incur expenses for legal, financial reporting, accounting,three and auditing compliance in connection with completing our proposed business combination.

For the threenine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a loss from operations of $84,583, which consists of formation and operating costs related to our proposed business combination. For the period of May 21, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, we had a loss from operations of $293,081, which consists of formation and operating costs related to our proposed business combination.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of the proposed business combination, the Company’s only source of liquidity is the SPAC. As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any cash, relying on the SPAC to fund all of its expenses. The SPAC has until April 19, 2022 to complete its initial business combination. If the SPAC is unable to complete the initial business combination by April 19, 2022, the SPAC must cease all operations and dissolve and liquidate under Delaware law. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

For the period from May 21, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was zero, due to the SPAC paying for all the Company’s costs.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets, or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our unaudited financial information. We describe our significant accounting policies in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1

. Legal Proceedings

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is notIn the course of our business, we are involved in litigation and legal matters from time to time. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. We accrue liabilities for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any litigationsuch matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.


Our business is subject to risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our securities. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as supplemented by the following updated risk factors.


We have and may in the future acquire other businesses, which could require significant management attention, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and harm our business, revenue and financial results.

As part of our business strategy, we have made and intend to make acquisitions. Our previous and future acquisitions may not achieve our goals, and we may not realize benefits from acquisitions we make in the future. Any integration process will require significant time and resources, and we may not be able to manage the process successfully. If we fail to successfully integrate acquisitions, or the personnel or technologies associated with those acquisitions, the business, revenue and financial results of the combined company could be harmed. Our acquisition strategy may change over time and future acquisitions we complete could be viewed negatively by our stockholders or other parties with whom we do business. We may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired technology and accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition, including accounting charges. We may also incur unanticipated liabilities that we assume as a result of acquiring companies. We may have to pay cash, incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition, each of which could affect our financial condition or the value of our securities. In the future, we may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all.

We rely, in part, on AT&T for distribution of our services to FirstNet® customers.

We entered into a services agreement with AT&T, that was to expire in October 2022, with no renewal terms. On October 7, 2022, we amended the agreement, to extend it for an additional term of three months, expiring in January 2023.This AT&T agreement, as amended, continues our relationship in which AT&T purchases, markets and sells our services to its FirstNet® subscribers. We have no contractual right to require AT&T to continue its relationship with us, and AT&T may decide not to renew our services contract prior to the end of the extended term. If we are not able to secure a further renewal or extension of our services agreement with AT&T, our ability to sell or market products to FirstNet® and other public safety customers may be impacted, and our business, financial and results of operations may be harmed.  

We face intense competition in our market, especially from competitors that offer their location services for free, which could make it difficult for us to acquire and retain customers and end users.

The market for development, distribution and sale of location services is expectedhighly competitive. Many of our competitors have strong name recognition, sizable customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, public relations, sales, distribution and other resources than we do. These competitors often offer competing services for free and have the financial capabilities to continue to improve upon their location services offering without charging a fee. Certain of our competitors are already vying for market share in the 3D location space through their participation in a federal regulatory proceeding involving the FCC in which wireless mobile telephony providers are being required to enter into relationships with 3D location vendors in order to enable accurate 3D location information to be conveyed to E911 emergency dispatchers with each wireless call made to E911 emergency services. In June of 2022, the CTIA, a trade association representing the wireless communications industry in the United States, filed a statement with the FCC that solutions provided by these competitors meet these FCC’s requirements.If the FCC accepts this statement, then the market for our services for E911 may be reduced.Also, although our services currently offer an improved functionality over the services offered for free, there is no certainty that we will be able to achieve broad market appeal for our 3D location services. In addition, there is no guarantee that our services will be as reliable and with the same geographic coverage as the currently available geolocation services, which may impact our ability to attract customers to utilize our products over the free services offered by our competitors. The performance of our services may vary based on ambient conditions, both physical and environmental which may impact the timing and location accuracy of the system. If our services are not meaningfully superior to those available at lower or no cost, we may have difficulty selling our services, achieving widespread adoption of our services and our business, financial position and results of operations may be harmed.  


26


Our services may not be adopted by additional wireless carriers for E911.

We have expended significant resources developing, testing and licensing software and solutions targeted towards E911 services, the primary customers for which are wireless carriers. Certain of these wireless carriers were the subject of an enforcement action by the FCC regarding their lack of compliance with rules requiring the provision of vertical location services in the top 25 cellular market areas (“CMAs”) by April 3, 2021. On June 3, 2021, the FCC adopted consent decrees with each of the named wireless carriers that effectively provided an extension of one year to the April 3, 2021 compliance date in the top 25 CMAs, but also required the carriers to begin delivering any z-axis information that was available to them and to provide interim reports on their ongoing testing and deployment efforts. While we have successfully signed one national wireless carrier as a customer for E911 services, our ability to sell our Pinnacle service to additional wireless carriers for E911, a service we believe to exceed the current FCC accuracy requirement, is dependent upon the willingness of these carriers to use our service to comply with the FCC mandate, which has been impacted by the FCC’s one year extension and may be impacted by the development and testing of competing solutions to the our technology.In June of 2022, the CTIA filed a statement with the FCC that solutions provided by certain competitors meet these FCC’s requirements.If the FCC accepts this statement, then the market for our services for E911 may be reduced. 

Our ability to offer our service for E911 is also influenced by the willingness of wireless device manufacturers to incorporate our software or services into their device platforms. Apple and Google exert significant market power over services on their respective platforms, and there is no assurance that they will approve or adopt our software or services in connection with their respective platforms. If Apple and/or Google do not provide such approval, there could be a material adverse impact to our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Military action in Ukraine, including the resulting geopolitical effects beyond Ukraine, may directly or indirectly increase our risks from supply chain, cybersecurity, foreign currency fluctuations, or other factors.

The Russian invasion and resulting military action in Ukraine has resulted in worldwide geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. The United States and others have imposed financial and economic sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in and associated with Russia and Belarus, and additional sanctions continue to be proposed and adopted. The military action in Ukraine and the sanctions against Russia resulting from such conflict may increase the likelihood of supply chain interruptions, cybersecurity incidents, disruptions to our information systems, foreign currency fluctuations, or other risks. While we do not currently expect the conflict to have a direct material impact on our financial positionbusiness, it is not possible to predict the broader consequences, which could include additional sanctions, embargoes, regional instability, geopolitical shifts and adverse effects on the global economy or resultson our business and operations, as well as those of operations. 

ITEMour customers, partners and third-party service providers. Further, the effects of the ongoing conflict could serve to heighten many of the known risks we described in Part I, Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are no material changes from the risk factors set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” of the 2021 Form 10-K.
