Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information, which includes condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. 2022. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 2022has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

At a special stockholders meeting held April 18, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Formation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a ratio ranging from any whole number between 10-for-1 and 40-for-1 in order to achieve a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, as required for continued listing of the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The board of directors authorized a 1-for-40 ratio for the reverse stock split, which became effective on April 21, 2023. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

 

It is management's opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made, which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the remaining quarters or year ending December 31, 2022.2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to record purchase price allocationallocations for the Company's acquisitions, fair value measurements used in goodwill impairment tests, impairment estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on cost-to-cost type contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances, estimates of the incremental borrowing rate for long-term leases, fair value estimates and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 20212022 classifications in order to conform to the 20222023 presentation.

 

Company Conditions and Sources of Liquidity

The Company has experienced net losses, cash outflows from cash used in operating activities and a decline in share value over the past years. As of and for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022, March 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $421.4$507.3 million, loss from continuing operations of $208.3$20.3 million, and net cash used inprovided by operating activities of $13.4$0.8 million. Further, as of September 30, 2022, March 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of $118.7$302.6 million, including current maturities of debt, and cash and cash equivalents of $28.0$24.0 million available for working capital needs and planned capital asset expenditures.  As a result of the foregoing, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its obligations and fund its operations for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has plans to access additional capital to meet its obligations for the twelve months from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. Historically, the Company has raised additional equity and debt financing to fund its expansion; refer to Note 16Notes Payable and Line of Credit.Credit. The Company has also funded some of its capital expenditures through long-term financing with lenders and other investors as also described in further detail in Note 16Notes Payable and Line of Credit.Credit. Our ability to raise the additional capital is dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market demand for our common stock, which itself is subject to a number of business risks and uncertainties, our creditworthiness and the uncertainty that we would be able to raise such additional capital at a price that is favorable to us. As of September 30, 2022, March 31, 2023, the Company has an effective S-3 shelf registration statement for the issuance of various types of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and/or warrants in the aggregate of up to $68.8 million. In addition, although no formal agreements exist, the company has solicited interest from various lenders to potentially raise additional term debt to restructure or refinance its existing notes.$64.0 million.

 

The Company plans to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months by raising additional capital through equity and debt financing sources and forecasted positive cash flows generated from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in executing these plans. If unsuccessful, the Company will not have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to repay its indebtedness when it matures, or otherwise meet its cash requirements over the next twelve months, as noted above.

 

Restructuring Costs

In September 2022, the Company fully impaired its finance lease equipment related to the Eclipse Foundation Group in the Electric Power segment. These pieces of equipment are drilling specific and at this time, the Company does not plan to use the equipment for the remaining term of the leases. As these leases are non-cancelable and do not include a sub-leasing option, the full finance lease assets related to Eclipse have beenwere removed from the balance sheet and an equal impairment has beenwas recognized in the amount of $4.5 million.million in the third quarter of 2022. Future payments related to these leases will be approximately $5.2$4.4 million paid through June 2026.

 

Sale of Orbital U.K.

On May 11, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Orbital U.K. operations for the agreed upon amount of 3,000,000 GBP. The Company received 1,575,000 GBP on the settlement date and the remaining 1,425,000 GBP was received on July 11, 2022. The Company could receive additional consideration if certain events transpire during the 12-month restricted period following the settlement date. In addition, the Company will receive a “royalty” of 15% on any sales of the GasPT device related to Snam Rete Gas and/or the Future Billing Methodology (FBM) Project.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived intangible assets

The Company had Goodwillgoodwill from acquisitions made in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Goodwill in the Front Line Power and GTS reporting units was impaired in 2022 for $70.2 million and $25.8 million respectively due to triggering events in the third quarter related to a continued decline in the Company's market capitalization, significant losses in the Renewables segment and interest rate increases and limitations on accessing capital, which raised substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The fair value of the reporting units was valued using a market approach. The impairment assessment concluded that the fair value of the Renewables reporting unit was in excess of its carrying amount, which was negative. After impairments, the Company had $7.0 million of goodwill remaining at December 31, 2022 associated with Orbital Solar Services ("OSS) acquired in 2020. At the same time as the goodwill impairment, the Company assessed the other intangibles in the Renewables segment and determined the Customer relationship intangible was fully impaired and the remaining $4.3 million of book value was written off in the third quarter of 2022.

indefinite-lived intangible assets using a relief from royalties method which resulted in impairment. The impairment assessment included significant assumptions related to revenue growth rates, royalty rates, and discount rates. For the year ended December 31, 2022, management concluded that indefinite-lived intangibles were impaired by $9.3 million dollars primarily attributable to the Front Line and GTS trade names. 

 

The Company tests for impairment of Indefinite-livedindefinite-lived intangibles and Goodwillgoodwill in the second quarter of each year and when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of Goodwillgoodwill exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. 

 

Under current accounting guidance, Orbital Infrastructure Group is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The guidance includes a number of factors to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. 

 

During the threefirst months endedquarter of June 30, 2022, the Company completed a quantitative analysis to determine whether it was more likely than not2023, that the fair value of its reporting units were less than their carrying amount, including goodwill. To complete the review, management evaluated the fair value of the Goodwill and considered all known events and circumstances that might trigger an impairment of goodwill.goodwill, noting none. The reviewremaining goodwill of goodwill, prepared as of May 31, 2022, determined that there were not indicators present to suggest that it was more likely than not that the fair value of any of the Company's reporting units was less than its$7.0 million dollars is associated with OSS which has a negative carrying amount and thus no impairment was necessary during the quarter ended June 30, 2022

The Company did a second goodwill impairment analysis as of June 30, 2022 due to a 42-percent drop in the Company's stock price between May 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, that caused an overall decrease in the Company’s market capitalization. We performed the interim impairment tests consistent with our approach for annual impairment testing, including similar models, inputs, and assumptions. As a result of the interim impairment testing, no impairment was identified as of June 30, 2022. 

During the third quarter of 2022, triggering events were identified which led to performing interim goodwill impairment testing of our reporting units as of September 30, 2022. These events included a further decrease in the Company's market capitalization, the significant loss in the Renewables segment in the third quarter of 2022, interest rate increases and limitations on accessing capital, which raised substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The fair value for our reporting units for the interim testing was valued using a market approach. The impairment assessment resulted in a conclusion that goodwill in the Electric Power and Telecommunications reporting units was impaired by $70.1 million and $25.8 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The impairment assessment also concluded that the fair value of the Renewables reporting unit was in excess of its carrying amount. value.

 

Accrued expenses

Accrued expenses are liabilities that reflect expenses on the statement of operations that have not been paid or recorded in accounts payable at the end of the period. At September 30,2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021, 2022, accrued expenses of $30.3$45.2 million and $28.3$39.1 million, respectively included the following components:

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and current economic environment

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact certain aspects and geographies of the global economy due to supply chain, production and other logistical disruptions. While we have continued to operate as a provider of essential services from the onset of the pandemic, during the course of the pandemic our operations and financial results have been adversely impacted by governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, including shut-down orders and limitations on work site practices implemented by governments. The longer-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial performance remain uncertain and variable in the current economic environment including rising interest and inflation rates. 

We continue to monitor governmental vaccination and testing standards or requirements related to COVID-19, as well as certain standards and guidance for preventing the spread of COVID-19. While the impact of these standards has lessened in 2022, we continue to monitor changes in these standards that may impact our business.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND SALE OF A BUSINESS

 

As part of the Company’s stated strategy to transform Orbital Infrastructure Group into a diversified energy infrastructure services platform serving North American energy customers, the Company’s board of directors made the decision to divest of its Orbital Gas subsidiaries. The Orbital Gas subsidiaries provide proprietary gas measurement and sampling technologies and the integration of process control and measuring/sampling systems. They are legacy businesses that are not part of the Company’s strategy of building an infrastructure services company serving the electric power, telecommunications and renewable markets. The disposition of the Orbital Gas subsidiaries will facilitate the Company’s restructuring and cost savings initiatives and are intended to realign and simplify its business structure and better position the Company for future growth and improved profitability. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a $9.2 million impairment related to its U.K. operations to write the value of its investment in the U.K. operations to its expected realizable value of 3 million GBP ($4.1 million on December 31, 2021).

 

The saleCompany's U.K. operations were divested in May 2022 and most of the U.K. operations closed in May of 2022. The Company could receive additional consideration if certain events transpire during the 12-month restricted period following the settlement date. In addition, the Company will receive a “royalty” of 15% on any sales of the GasPT device related to Snam Rete Gas and/or the Future Billing Methodology (FBM) Project.

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS 

 

The Electric Power segment provides full service building, maintenance and support to the electrical power distribution, transmission, substation, and emergency response sectors of North America through Front Line Power, and Orbital Power Services and  Eclipse Foundation.Services. The Telecommunications segment composed of Gibson Technical Services and subsidiaries provides technical implementation, design, maintenance, emergency and repair support services in the broadband, wireless, and outside plant and building technologies.  The Renewables segment, Orbital Solar Services, provides engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) services that support the development of renewable energy generation focused on utility scale solar and community solar construction.

 

For our construction contracts, revenue is generally recognized over time. Our fixed price and unit-price construction projects generally use a cost-to-cost input method or an output method to measure our progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation as we believe it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Revenue is also generally recognized over time as the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Under the output method, the measure of progress towards completion is measured based on units of work completed multiplied bybased on the contractual pricing amounts per unit.  Under the output method, revenue is determined by actual work achieved. For jobs under the output method, revenue is earned based on each unit in the contract completed.amounts.  We construct comprehensive revenue calculations based on quantifiable measures of actual units completed multiplied by the agreed upon contract prices per item completed.

For our engineering and network design contracts, revenueRevenue is also generally recognized over time.time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of our performance as we perform the service.

For certain types of over time revenue jobs, the Company utilizes the right-to-invoice practical expedient. In these jobs,instances, we have a right to invoice the customer for an amount that corresponds directly with the value transferred to the customer for our performance completed to date. When this practical expedient is used, we recognize revenue based on billing and calculate any additional revenue earned that is unbilled at the period end. We have contracts which have payment terms dictated by daily or hourly rates where some contracts may have mixed pricing terms which include a fixed fee portion. For contracts in which we charge the customer a fixed rate based on the time or materials spent during the project, we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice, which corresponds to the value transferred to the customer. 

For any job where the customer does not simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of our performance as we perform the service, the timing of revenue recognition also depends on the payment terms of the contract, as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to us.contract. For those contracts where the Company's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced or for which we have a right to payment for performance completed to date at all times throughout our performance, inclusive of a cancellation, we recognize revenue over time. As discussed above, these performance obligations use a cost-to-cost input method or output method to measure our progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation as we believe it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. However, for those contracts for which we do not have a right, at all times, to payment for performance completed to date and we are not enhancing a customer-controlled asset, we recognize revenue at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer.

 

For our service contracts, revenue is also generally recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of our performance as we perform the service. For our fixed price service contracts with specified service periods, revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over such service period when our inputs are expended evenly, and the customer receives and consumes the benefits of our performance throughout the contract term.

 

For certain of our revenue streams, such as call-out repair and service work, and outage services, that are performed under time and materials contracts, our progress towards complete satisfaction of such performance obligations is measured using an input method as the customer receives and consumes the benefits of our performance completed to date.

 

Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that estimates of costs to complete a performance obligation will be revised in the near-term. For those performance obligations for which revenue is recognized using a cost-to-cost input method, changes in total estimated costs, and related progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions to the estimates are made. When the current estimate of total costs for a performance obligation indicates a loss, a provision for the entire estimated loss on the unsatisfied performance obligation is made in the period in which the loss becomes evident.

Our contracts with certain customers may be subject to contract cancellation clauses. Contracts with other cancellation provisions may require judgment in determining the contract term, including the existence of material rights, transaction price and identifying the performance obligations and whether a contract should be accounted for over time or on a completed contract basis. Revenue is recognized for certain integration systems over time using cost-based input methods, in which significant judgement is required to evaluate assumptions including the amount of total estimated costs to determine our progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize.

At times, customers may request changes that either amend, replace or cancel existing contracts. Judgment is required to determine whether the specific facts and circumstances within the contracts require the changes to be accounted for as a separate contract or as a modification. Generally, contract modifications containing additional goods and services that are determined to be distinct and sold at their stand-alone selling price are accounted for as a separate contract. For contract modifications where goods and services are not determined to be distinct and sold at their stand-alone selling price, the original contract is updated and the required adjustments to revenue and contract assets, liabilities, and other accounts will be made accordingly.

Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Accounts receivable are recognized in the period when our right to consideration is unconditional. We also assess our customer's ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including our historical payment experience with and the financial condition of our customers.

 

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, and are within industry standards across our business lines. Accounts receivable are recognized net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets include unbilled amounts from our construction projects when revenue recognized under the output method or input cost-to-cost method exceeds the amounts invoiced to our customers, as the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of our contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from our customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of a contract. Also included in contract assets are retainage receivables and amounts we seek or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders or modifications in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and/or price or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and unapproved change orders). Our contract assets do not include capitalized costs to obtain and fulfill a contract. Contract assets are generally classified as current within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Contract liabilities from our construction contracts occur when amounts invoiced to our customers exceed revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost or output method measure of progress. Contract liabilities additionally include advanced payments from our customers on certain contracts and provision for future contract losses for those contracts estimated to close in a gross loss position. Contract liabilities decrease as we recognize revenue from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation and are recorded as either current or long-term, depending upon when we expect to recognize such revenue.

Performance Obligations

 

Remaining Performance Obligations

 

Remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of contracts with customers for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts. As of September March 31, 202330,2022,, the Company's remaining performance obligations are generally expected to be filled within the next 12 months. For the contracts that are greater than 12 months the Company has approximately $198.1$142.2 million in the aggregate of future revenue related to remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of September 30, 2022. March 31, 2023

 

Any adjustments to net revenues, cost of revenues, and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive program performance and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual performance obligations, if we determine we will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule and cost aspects of those performance obligations. Likewise, these adjustments may result in a decrease in operating income if we determine we will not be successful in mitigating these risks. Changes in estimates of net revenues, cost of revenues and the related impact to operating income are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period they become known, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation's percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our performance obligations. 

 

Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time

 

To determine the proper revenue recognition method for our contracts satisfied over time, we evaluate whether a single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to separate the single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period.

 

For most of our contracts, the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single project or capability (even if that single project results in the delivery of multiple units). Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. Less commonly, however, we may promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract in which case we separate the contract into more than one performance obligation. If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. We infrequently sell standard products with observable standalone sales. In cases where we do, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price. More frequently, we sell a customized customer specific solution, and in these cases, we typically use the output method or the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.

 

Variable Consideration

The nature of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration. In rare instances, we include in our contract estimates, additional revenue for submitted contract modifications or claims against the customer when we believe we have an enforceable right to the modification or claim, the amount can be estimated reliably, and its realization is probable. In evaluating these criteria, we consider the contractual/legal basis for the claim, the cause of any additional costs incurred, the reasonableness of those costs and the objective evidence available to support the claim. These amounts are included in our calculation of net revenue recorded for our contracts and the associated remaining performance obligations. Additionally, if the contract has a provision for liquidated damages in the case that the Company misses a timing target, or fails to meet any other contract benchmarks, the Company accounts for those estimated liquidated damages as variable consideration and will adjust revenue accordingly with periodic updates to the estimated variable consideration as the job progresses. Liquidated damages are recognized as variable consideration and are estimated based on the most likely amount that is deemed probable of realization.

 

Two large solar projects have liquidated damages included within their customer contracts. In the event of a delay in the achievement of project milestones, the contracts specify the dollar amount of delay damages owed each day past the agreed upon milestone date. These delay liquidated damages are capped at 15% of the project contract price. During Q42022, the estimated completion dates on these two large solar projects were pushed passed milestone due dates in which the Company is contractually obligated to meet. As a result of these delays, the Company recorded liquidated damages as variable consideration, reducing the contract price on these two projects by a total of $17.1 million in 2022. This reduction in contract price along with additional estimated costs to complete the projects resulted in a catch-up adjustment to reduce revenue recorded year-to-date in 2022 by $21.4 million dollars. The customer on these two solar projects has the right to invoice, but as of May 15, 2023, has not yet sent an invoice for liquidated damages. Although the Company accrued for these liquidated damages in 2022, there is a possibility that some or all of the $17.1 million in liquidated damages could be reversed in future years if the customer does not invoice for these damages or if a legal settlement is reached.

Significant Judgments

Our contracts with certain customers may be subject to contract cancellation clauses. Contracts with other cancellation provisions may require judgment in determining the contract term, including the existence of material rights, transaction price and identifying the performance obligations and whether a contract should be accounted for over time or on a completed contract basis. Revenue is recognized for certain projects over time using cost-based input methods, in which significant judgement is required to evaluate assumptions including the amount of total estimated costs to determine our progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize.

 

At times, customers may request changes that either amend, replace or cancel existing contracts. Judgment is required to determine whether the specific facts and circumstances within the contracts require the changes to be accounted for as a separate contract or as a modification. Generally, contract modifications containing additional goods and services that are determined to be distinct and sold at their stand-alone selling price are accounted for as a separate contract. For contract modifications where goods and services are not determined to be distinct and sold at their stand-alone selling price, the original contract is updated and the required adjustments to revenue and contract assets, liabilities, and other accounts will be made accordingly.

 

Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately rather than together may require significant judgment. For, example, we consider many of our contracts that coordinate multiple products into an integrated system to be a single performance obligation, while the same products would be considered separate performance obligations if not so integrated.

 

In contracts where there are timing differences between when we transfer a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service, we have determined that, our contracts do not include a significant financing component.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EXPENSE

All common stock share and per share data reflects the reverse stock split effective April 21, 2023, as described in Note 19 Subsequent Events, Reverse stock split.

 

Through December 31, 2021, the Company had been vesting a series of stock appreciation rights (SARS) to be settled in cash to certain executives. The SARS were considered liability-classified awards meaning their fair-values were remeasured at the end of each reporting period using a binomial lattice model and any changes in fair value for the vesting periods to-date were recorded through the income statement with a corresponding liability accrued on the balance sheet. Since December 31, 2021, the SARS have been exchanged for restricted stock units (RSUs) on the modification date of January 14, 2022 as approved by the Board of Directors. To account for this exchange, the company revalued the SARS as of the modification date of January 14, 2022 using the binomial lattice model and recorded changes in the vested value since December 31, 2021 as an adjustment to the income statement. The Company then reclassified the SARS accrued liability to APIC for new RSUs and recognized incremental expense. Shares deemed vested at the modification date were released and issued net of tax in March 2022. The SARS that converted to RSUs, were added to the Company's existing RSU program. The company recorded $1.1 million and $2.4$0.6 million of expense for RSUs for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, March 31, 20232022..

 

Restricted Stock

In March 2021, the Company granted 3 million restricted shares with an aggregate fair value of $16.4 million with a graded vesting schedule. One-third of which were vested in April 2021, one-third of which were due to vest in April 2022, and one-third of which were due to vest in April 2023. In the three and nine months ended September 30,2022, theThe Company recorded zero and a net credit of $3.9 million, respectively, to compensation expense related to the forfeiture and partial vesting of these grants compared to $1.4 million and $8.0 million of compensation expense in the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2023 for partial vesting of the grants.and March 31, 2022 respectively. The credit to compensation expense in the first ninethree months of 2022 was due to a $5.2 million reversal of expense related to the forfeiture of the unvested restricted stock upon the termination of an employee as of September 30,March 31, 2022.

On April 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor. The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of: (i) 9,000,000225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 7,153,847178,847 shares of Common Stock and (iii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 16,153,847403,846 shares of Common Stock. The offering price per share and associated prefunded warrants was $1.30$52.00 for the shares and $1.2999$51.996 for the prefunded warrants. The prefunded warrants were immediately exercisable, had an exercise price of .0001.004 and were exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

The accompanying warrants have an exercise price of $1.31,$52.40, and will be exercisable 6-months after their date of issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date.

 

Common stock warrants are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (ASC Topic 815), as either derivative liabilities or equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement.

 

The Company’s warrants are considered to be derivative warrants, are classified as liabilities, and are recorded at fair value. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of the related derivative warrant liability. The warrants are classified as Level 3 liabilities (see Note 12 for fair value disclosures.)

The measurement basis of segment profit or loss is income (loss) from operations. Management has identified five operating segments based on the activities of the Company in accordance with ASC 280-10. These operating segments have been aggregated into three reportable segments. The three reportable segments are Electric Power, Telecommunications, and Renewables and an Other category. 

 

The Electric Power segment consists of Front Line Power Construction, LLC, Orbital Power, Inc. and Eclipse Foundation Group. The segment provides comprehensive solutions to customers in the electric power industries. 

 

The Telecommunications segment is made up of Gibson Technical Services, Inc. (“GTS”) (acquired April 13, 2021). GTS is an Atlanta-based telecommunications company providing diversified telecommunications services nationally since 1990 and is the parent of the following companies: IMMCO, Inc., Full Moon Telecom, and Coax Fiber Solutions, LLC.

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

All common stock share and per share data reflects the reverse stock split effective April 21, 2023, as described in Note 19 Subsequent Events, Reverse stock split.

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260 (“FASB ASC 260”), “Earnings per Share,” Basic loss from continuing operations per share, basic income from discontinued operations per share and basic net income (loss) per share that is available to shareholders is computed by dividing the income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the respective loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury stock method. Due to the Company’s loss from continuing operations in the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2022 March 31, 2023and September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022, the assumed exercise of stock options, warrants and the unvested restricted stock that would otherwise increase diluted shares using the treasury stock method would have had an antidilutive effect and therefore 0.2 million5 thousand shares related to stock options, 16.20.4 million warrants outstanding at September 30,2022March 31, 2023 and 4.6 million87 thousand shares of restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 March 31, 2023and 0.2 million5 thousand shares related to stock options outstanding at September 30, 2021 March 31, 2022were excluded for the three and ninemonths ended September 30,2021March 31, 2022 and 2.3 millionzero shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Matters

The Company may be involved in certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these matters, we do not anticipate that any of these matters, or these matters in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

- Performance and Payment Bonds and Parent Guarantees

In the ordinary course of business, Orbital Infrastructure Group and its subsidiaries are required by certain customers to provide performance and payment bonds for contractual commitments related to their projects. These bonds provide a guarantee to the customer that the Company will perform under the terms of a contract and that the Company will pay its subcontractors and vendors. If the Company fails to perform under a contract or to pay its subcontractors and vendors, the customer may demand that the surety make payments or provide services under the bond. The Company must reimburse the surety for expenses or outlays it incurs. Certain bonds are for open-ended contracts with multiple work orders so the value may increase as the work progresses and more work orders are started. The bonds will remain in place as the Company completes projects and resolves any disputed matters with the customers, vendors and subcontractors related to the bonded projects. As of September March 31, 202330,2022,, the total amount of the outstanding performance and payment bonds was approximately $38.4 million.$5.0 million. In addition, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $1.4$1.5 million as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

 

Additionally, from time to time, we guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of our subsidiaries that may arise in connection with, among other things, contracts with customers, equipment lease obligations, and contractor licenses. These guarantees may cover all of the subsidiary’s unperformed, undischarged and unreleased obligations and liabilities under or in connection with the relevant agreement. For example, with respect to customer contracts, a guarantee may cover a variety of obligations and liabilities arising during the ordinary course of the subsidiary’s business or operations, including, among other things, warranty and breach of contract claims, third-party and environmental liabilities arising from the subsidiary’s work and for which it is responsible, liquidated damages, or indemnity claims.

 

Contingent Liabilities

Orbital Infrastructure Group, Inc. is occasionally party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, negligence or gross negligence and/or property damages, wage and hour and other employment-related damages, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief.

The Company recently filed and served a federal civil complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas – Dallas Division against the former owner of Reach Construction Group LLC (“Reach”).  The complaint alleges, among other things, misrepresentations and misconduct committed by the former owner in conjunction with the purchase and sale of Reach to Orbital Infrastructure Group, Inc.  Based on the information and evidence contained in the complaint, the Company reasonably believes that it owes no more compensation to the former owner and is seeking return of certain funds already paid and relief of certain debt and accruals currently on the balance sheet.

The Company and its subsidiary, OSS, were involved in a contract dispute with Jingoli Power (“Jingoli”) regarding the Joint Venture between Jingoli and OSS for construction of the Black Bear and Happy - Lightsource BP Projects.  The Company contends that Jingoli unjustifiably and without proper authority took over management and control of the two projects and that, as a direct result of Jingoli’s mismanagement, the projects have suffered significant losses. The Company has disclosed and accrued losses including liquidated damages for both projects and entered into a settlement agreement in April 2023 which is discussed further in Note 19 - Subsequent Events.

 

Regarding all lawsuits, claims and proceedings, Orbital Infrastructure Group, Inc. records a reserve when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, Orbital Infrastructure Group, Inc. discloses matters for which management believes a material loss is at least reasonably possible. None of these proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on Orbital Infrastructure Group, Inc.’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In all instances, management has assessed the matter based on current information and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, considering the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought and the probability of success. Management’s judgment may prove materially inaccurate, and such judgment is made subject to the known uncertainties of litigation.

Overview

Orbital Infrastructure Group is a diversified infrastructure services company serving customers in the electric power, telecommunications, and renewable markets. The Company is dedicated to maximizing shareholder value through greenfield development and the acquisition of, and investment in successful, entrepreneurial led companies to profitably grow revenues by providing end-to-end solutions to customers, primarily in the renewable, electric power transmission and distribution, and telecommunications infrastructure markets. The Company is organized in three segments. The Electric Power segment consists of Front Line Power Construction, LLC based in Houston, Texas, Orbital Power, Inc. based in Dallas, Texas, and Eclipse Foundation Group based in Gonzales, Louisiana.Group. The segment provides comprehensive infrastructure solutions to customers in the electric power industry. Services performed by Front Line Power and Orbital Power, Inc. generally include but are not limited to the engineering, design, installation, upgrade, repair and maintenance of electric power transmission and distribution infrastructure and substation facilities as well as emergency restoration services. Eclipse Foundation Group, which began operations in January 2021, is a drilled shaft foundation construction company that specializes in providing services to the electric transmission and substation, industrial, telecommunication and disaster restoration market sectors, with expertise performing services in water, marsh and rock terrains. In the third quarter of 2022, in order to streamline operations, the Eclipse business was integrated into Front Line Power Construction, LLC, and ceased to be a separate business unit.

 

The Telecommunications segment consists of Gibson Technical Services (GTS) along with its subsidiaries IMMCO, Inc. based in Atlanta, Georgia and Full Moon Telecom, LLC based in Florida. GTS provides engineering, design, construction, and maintenance services to the broadband and wireless telecommunication industries and was acquired by the Company effective April 13, 2021. IMMCO, Inc. provides enterprise solutions to the cable and telecommunication industries and was acquired by the Company effective July 28, 2021. Full Moon Telecom, LLC provides telecommunication services including an extensive array of wireless service capabilities and was acquired by the Company effective October 22, 2021. Coax Fiber Solutions was acquired as of March 7, 2022, and is a Georgia based GDOT Certified contractor specializing in Aerial Installation, directional drilling, trenching, plowing, and missile crews for telecommunications, power, gas, water, CCTV, ATMS, and traffic signal cable installation.

 

Orbital Solar Services, LLC (OSS), based in Raleigh, North Carolina, makes up the Renewables segment. OSS provides engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) services that support the development of renewable energy generation focused on utility-scale solar construction. 

 

The Company has experienced rapid growth through organic growth and acquisitions as the Company benefits from its 2021 investments and acquisitions and as the economy continues to emerge from the COVID-19 induced slowdown. ThirdFirst quarter 20222023 revenue was over four times14% greater than the Company's total revenue from the third quarter of 2021. Improved revenues and income were a result of the inclusion of operations from the November acquisition of Front Line Power Construction in the Electric Power segment and continued growth in the Telecommunications segment acquired in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Company continues to pursue both organic growth and growth through acquisitions. The Company's Telecommunications segment made an additional "tuck-in" acquisition in the first quarter of 2022 for cash and stock consideration of approximately $0.9 million.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company began to see tangible benefits for all segments from the investments the Company made in 2021 through improved revenue. These benefits were offset by sub-contractor labor and material cost over-runs at OSS's Black Bear project that is projected to be completed by the end of the year. The Company is in the midst of a reset of its solar business. The solar reset should not materially change the revenue mix in the near term. Given some of the recent legislation and executive order, solar projects that had been delayed are now likely to be opportunities in 2023 and beyond. As the Company moves away from providing engineering, procurement, and construction ("EPC") services to being a specialized contractor providing skilled resources to EPC companies, the Company will benefit from a reduced risk profile that comes with being an EPC, and margins will be enhanced as we will not share profits or losses with our joint venture partners as we are now required to do. 

2022. The Company's results were affected negatively in the first nine months of 2022 by the $29.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt primarily related to the Company's seller financed debt on the November 2021 Front Line Construction acquisition and stock-based payments made against its investor held debt for which the stock was issued at a discount to the stock's fair value.

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company incurred ramp-up costs in the Electric Power segment that put downward pressure on margins in the third quarter of 2021.The Company also incurred professional fees related to mergers and acquisitions as the Company finalized the acquisition of GTS. The three-month period ended September 30, 2021, for both segments were also negatively affected by generally lower economic activity due toa combined $15.2 million in interest expense and liquidated damages associated with the COVID-19 pandemic that caused economic slowdowns throughout the world.Company's debt.

 

ForDuring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Orbital Infrastructure Group, Inc. had a consolidated loss from continuing operations of $141.6 million and $208.3 million, respectively, compared to a consolidated loss from continuing operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, of $9.5 million and $34.1 million, respectively. 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, Orbital Infrastructure Group, Inc. had a consolidated net loss of $210.8$20.5 million compared to a consolidated net loss in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, of $36.3$37.6 million. The greater net loss for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022, was primarily the result of impairments on goodwill, intangibles, and financing leased assets, the $25.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the loan modificationCompany's seller-financed debt on the November 2021 Front Line Construction acquisition, partially offset by a $5.2 million gain on the forfeiture of the seller financed debt, and increased interest expense related to acquisitions financedrestricted stock by debt in the second half of 2021.

a Renewable segment executive. Revenues from continuing operations increased for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, primarily due to the continued ramp-up of the Electric Power and Renewables segments along with the addition ofgrowth in the Telecommunications segment which was assembled via acquisitions starting in the second quarter of 2021 and continuing into 2022.segment.

Revenue

The revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, increased compared to the 20212022 comparable periodsperiod primarily due to the additionsramp up of Rural Digital Opportunity Fund ("RDOF") projects associated with the Telecommunications segment. RDOF is an initiative designed to bring broadband and voice service to millions of unserved homes and small businesses in rural parts of the Telecommunications segment followingUnited States. GTS has partnered with a key customer on both state and federally-funded RDOF projects which are in their early stages and are expected to continue over the acquisitions of GTS in Q2 2021, IMMCO in Q3 2021, Full Moon in Q4 2021 and Coax Fiber Solutions, LLC in Q1 2022 along with the acquisition of Front Line Power Construction, LLC, included in the Company's Electric Power segment, added in Q4 2021. In addition, Orbital Power Inc. in the Electric Power segment has continuednext five to ramp up operations in 2022. Renewables had significantly higher revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2022, on the strength of several large projects compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was affected by supply chain issues and a general slow-down caused by the COVID-19 epidemic.six years.

 

The Electric Power Segment held unaudited backlogs of customer orders of approximately $226.8$224.7 million as of September 30, 2022, and $207.7March 31, 2023, compared to $229.4 million at December 31, 2021.2022. The increasedecrease in backlog is generally due to timing of master service agreement renewals. The Telecommunications segment held backlogs of customer orders of approximately $209.2$193.1 million as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, compared to a backlog of $194.5$199.0 million at December 31, 2021. Increases to the backlog are due to the continuous growth2022. The decrease is a result of Gibson Technical Services.run-off of existing RDOF projects that will continue for another 5-6 years outpacing new customer orders.  The Renewables segment had a backlog of $36.3$19.2 million as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 compared to $121.4$34.1 million as of December 31, 20212022 which is due to further work being completed and revenue being recognized in the quarter on projects that make up this backlog. Of the September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023 backlog totals, the amounts expected to be recognized in the twelve months following Q3 2022Q1 2023 are approximately $265.9$249.4 million. The amounts expected to be recognized in the twelve months following Q3 2022Q1 2023 consist of $150.1$144.9 million from the Electric Power segment, $79.5$85.3 million from the Telecommunications segment and $36.3$19.2 million from the Renewables segment.

 

Cost of revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue increasedwas 82.4% compared to 105.9% from 90.7%83.5% from the prior-year comparative period primarily due to the significant cost overruns at the Black Bear solar project inwhich is an indicator of business normalizing. As the Renewables segment inworks toward conclusion of their large EPC projects, they continue to shift their model toward better margin subcontractor work to support the quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue decreased to 94.1% from 107.4% from the prior-year period. This decrease was primarily in the Electric Power segment and was attributable to ramp-up of revenues in the segment both organically and the addition of Front Line Power Construction and was partially offset by lower margins in the Renewables segment due to cost overruns in the Black Bear solar project. The Black Bear project had negative gross margins of $18.8 million and $22.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022, the Company had a loss provision of $3.8 million for estimated future losses on the Black Bear contract.market. Margin percentages in general will vary based upon the mix of projects including emergency response services, new crew onboarding costs, and the competitive markets in which the Company competes.

 

The three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were affected by start-up costs at the Company's Orbital Power Services group, lower margin projects during the period for Orbital Solar Services and was also affected negatively by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting world-wide economic slowdown. Ramp-up costs included onboarding personnel, equipment and supplies in advance of projected work in order to obtain the necessary resources in a competitive market as the Company prepared for forward demand expectations. Additionally, adverse weather negatively impacted several Electric Power fixed price jobs in the first nine months of 2021.

The Company expects continued improvement in margins during the remainder of 20222023 as the Electric Power segment continues to gain efficiencies and increase revenues, andRDOF projects in the Telecommunications segment sees continued synergistic benefits fromcontinue to ramp and the acquisitions of GTS, IMMCO, Full Moon,Renewables segment is able to refocus on lower risk and Coax Fiber Solutions.higher margin projects.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses include such items as wages, commissions, consulting, general office expenses, business promotion expenses and costs of being a public company, including legal and accounting fees, insurance and investor relations. SG&A expenses are generally associated with the ongoing activities to reach new customers, promote new product and service lines including for the Electric Power segment, Renewables segment, and Telecommunications segments.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, SG&A increased $1.0$6.0 million comparedcompared to the three months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, primarily due to organic growth and the Company's 2021 and 2022 acquisitions. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022lower than usual SG&A decreased $3.7in 2022 related to a $5.2 million compareddollar credit to the prior-year comparative periods. The decrease in SG&Acompensation expense for the nine month period was primarily due to decreased SG&A costs in the Renewables segment due to the $5.2 milliona restricted stock forfeiture related toassociated with the termination of a Renewables' Executive termination in Q1 2022 and higher stock-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to the restricted stock vesting expense recorded in 2021 on the restricted stock thatRenewables segment executive. This decrease was subsequently forfeited in the first quarter of 2022. Also contributing to the decreased SG&A was lower executive bonuses in Q1 2022 and a $0.3 million positive cash settled SARS mark-to-market fair value adjustment in 2022 compared to a $2.5 million mark-to-market expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These decreases were partially offset by increasesincreased professional and advisory fees in SG&A in the Electric Power and Telecommunications segments primarily due2023 associated with opportunities to organic growth and the Company's 2021 and 2022 acquisitions. 

Impairments of goodwill and intangible assets

The Company recorded $100.3 million of impairments of goodwill and intangible assets in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to an additional 25-percent drop in the Company's stock price between June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, that caused an overall further decrease in the Company's market capitalization. Additional triggering events included the significant loss in the Renewables segment in the third quarter of 2022, interest rate increases and limitations on accessing capital, which raised substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Company Conditions and Sources of Liquidity

The Company has experienced net losses, cash outflows from cash used in operating activities and a decline in share value over the past years. As of and for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $421.4$507.3 million, loss from continuing operations of $208.3$20.3 million, and net cash used inprovided by operating activities of $13.4$0.8 million. Further, as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of $118.7$302.6 million, including current maturities of debt, and cash and cash equivalents of $28.0$24.0 million available for working capital needs and planned capital asset expenditures.  As a result of the foregoing, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its obligations and fund its operations for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has plans to access additional capital to meet its obligations for the twelve months from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. Historically, the Company has raised additional equity and debt financing to fund its expansion; refer to Note 16 — Notes Payable and Line of Credit.Credit. The Company has also funded some of its capital expenditures through long-term financing with lenders and other investors as also described in further detail in Note 16 — Notes Payable and Line of Credit.Credit. Our ability to raise the additional capital is dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market demand for our common stock, which itself is subject to a number of business risks and uncertainties, our creditworthiness and the uncertainty that we would be able to raise such additional capital at a price that is favorable to us. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company has an effective S-3 shelf registration statement for the issuance of various types of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and/or warrants in the aggregate of up to $68.8$64.0 million. In addition, although no formal agreements exist, the company has solicited interest from various lenders to potentially raise additional term debt to restructure or refinance its existing notes.

 

The Company plans to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months by raising additional capital through equity and debt financing sources and forecasted positive cash flows generated from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in executing these plans. If unsuccessful, the Company will not have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to repay its indebtedness when it matures, or otherwise meet its cash requirements over the next twelve months, as noted above.

 

General

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $28.0$24.0 million and restricted cash of $0.6$0.7 million. Operations, investments, and equipment have been funded through cash on hand, the issuance of common stock authorized by its July 2020 and February 2021 S-3 filings, seller financing, and the issuance of debt and financing through the sale of future revenues. The Company filed an S-3 in February of 2021 which became effective in April 2021 for the issuance of additional stock or public debt. In April 2022, the Company issued 9,000,000225,000 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 7,153,847178,847 shares of Common Stockcommon stock accounting for the effects of the 2023 reverse stock split, for a total raise of $21.0 million before expenses. In August of 2021, the Company opened a $4.0 million dollar line of credit to support additional funding. Major uses of cash in the first ninethree months of 20222023 included the purchases of property and equipment, debt and finance lease payments and changes in working capital. The Company continues to work to improve its short-term liquidity through management of its working capital. Long-term liquidity is expected to benefit from revenue growth and earnings through its existing operations. Overall volume growth in the Company's businesses both organically and through acquisitions are expected to benefit cash flows as well.

 

Cash Used inProvided by (Used in) Operations

Cash provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $.8 million which was a $2.3 million improvement compared to the three-month period in 2022 which had cash used in operations of $13.4 million was a $23.5 million decrease in cash used compared to the nine-month period in 2021.$1.6 million.

 

The decrease in uses of cash in the first ninethree months of 20222023 are primarily related to higher merger and acquisition costs in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to 2022 along with company growth in 2022. Due to the large increase in revenue and associated costs both through acquisitions and organic growth, the Company was better able to cover it's fixed costs, but increased interest costs partially offset the benefits of much greater sales. Also, with the growth of the company's revenue comes increased accounts receivables and accounts payable, which outside of timing generally have offsetting cash flow effects. In the short-term, rapid growth can have a detrimental effect on cash flows as sales on account with positive gross margins waiting to be collected exceed accounts payable not yet paid. As the Company's growth begins to moderate, overall cash used in operations will continue to improve through revenue growth associated with new customers and larger projects. The change in cash used in operating activities since December 31, 2021, exclusive of net loss, is primarily the result of the following line items: Timing of cash payments on accounts payable and accrued liabilities which was a combined $36.9$12.7 million increase in cash provided by operating activities largely related to larger projects at Orbital Solar Services. ChangesOther contributors of cash provided by operating activities were changes in cost in excess of billingaccounts receivable and accounts receivableprepaid expenses from December 31, 2021, was2022 of a combined $14.5$4.9 million use of cash for the period and reflects the greater revenue volumes in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021.dollars.

In May 2022, the Company utilized the S-3 to issue shares and prefunded warrants for $21.0 million and additional warrants with a cumulative exercise value of $21.2 million. The Company has approximately $68.8$64.0 million remaining available to issue additional securities from its shelf registration.

 

As the Company focuses on growing its infrastructure services market presence both organically and through strategic acquisitions, technology development, product and service line additions, and increasing Orbital’s market presence, it will fund these activities together with related operating, sales and marketing efforts for its various product and service offerings with cash on hand, and possible proceeds from future issuances of equity through the S-3 registration statement, and available debt.

 

Orbital Infrastructure Group may raise additional capital needed to fund the further development and marketing of its products and services as well as payment of its debt obligations.

As part of a consent agreement with the lenders, the Company agreed to pay the lenders in a paid-in-kind amount of $10.5 million, which was added to the Syndicated debt balance and included $1.0 million of interest calculated from the first intercompany advance that the Company made.
