The development and manufacturing activities are located in Tustin, California and Mojave, California, with plans to operate the commercial spaceflights out of Spaceport America located in New Mexico.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)    Basis of Presentation
Theseaccompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements arehave been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”("GAAP") and, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to thesuch rules and regulationsregulations. However, in management's opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the U.S. SecuritiesCompany's financial position, results of operations and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All intercompany transactions and balances betweencash flows for the various legal entities comprising the Company have been eliminated in consolidation.periods presented.

Certain reclassifications of the components ofThe operating lossresults for the three and six month periodmonths ended June 30, 2021 have been made to2023 are not necessarily indicative of the comparable prior periodresults that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss to conform to the same current period presentations. Specifically, cost of revenue has been reclassified to customer experience, and gross margin is no longer presented. Customer experience expenses related to spaceflight operations include the consumption of a rocket motor and fuel and other consumables, as well as payroll and benefits for our pilots and ground crew. Customer experience expenses related to the payload cargo services, as well as engineering services, consist of materials and human capital, such as payroll and benefits, to perform these services. Additionally, customer experience expenses include costs associated with maintaining and growing our Future Astronaut community, as well as hospitality, medical, safety, security, training, and facility costs that areCompany's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the benefit of our astronauts. Additionally, depreciation and amortization expense are presented separately instead of included in selling, general, and administrative or research and development expenses. These reclassifications had no impact on total loss as previously reported.
(b)     Use of Estimatesfiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP required usrequires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results maycould differ materially from thesethose estimates. Significant estimates inherent in

The Company included $2.7 million and $4.5 million of interest receivable in prepaid expenses and other current assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company recognizes amortization and accretion of purchase premiums and discounts on its marketable securities within interest income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06, Accountingrecognized $2.0 million in accretion income, net and $1.8 million in amortization expense, net for Convertible Instrumentsits marketable securities for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and Contracts2022, respectively.

As a result, convertible debt instruments would only be separated into multiple components if they were issued at a substantial premium or if embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation were identified. The convertible senior notes (the "2027 Notes") were not issued at a substantial premium,of June 30, 2023, the amortized cost and the Company analyzed the provisionsestimated fair value of the notesCompany's marketable securities were $584.2 million and did not identify any material embedded features which would require bifurcation from the host debt. As such, the notes are accounted for entirely as a liability net of unamortized issuance costs. The carrying amount of the liability is classified as long-term as the instrument does not mature$581.9 million, respectively. These marketable securities all had contractual maturities within one year of the balance sheet date and, the holder is not permitted to demand repayment of the principal within one year of the balance sheet date. However, if conditions to convertibility are met as described furtheraccordingly, have been presented in Note 11, the Company may be required to reclassify the carrying amount of the liability to current. The embedded conversion features are not remeasured as long as they do not meet the separation requirement of a derivative. Issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate method, to interest expense over the term of the notes. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share, however there was no impact during the current quarter as the convertible instruments were anti-dilutive.

(d)    Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the pricing of our 2027 Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with respect to its common stock (the "2027 Capped Calls"). The 2027 Capped Calls are purchased call options that give the Company the option to purchase, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially identical to thoseassets in the 2027 Notes. The Company's capped call transactions are accounted for as separate transactions from the 2027 Notes and are classified as equity instruments as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in theaccompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The instruments are initially recorded at fair value and not subsequently remeasured so long as they continue to qualify for equity classification. The capped call transactions have the effect of reducing the number of shares outstanding if exercised. Therefore, the capped call transactions are anti-dilutive and not included in the calculation of diluted shares outstanding for the purposes of diluted net loss per share. See Note 11 in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the 2027 Capped Calls.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the pricing of the 2027 Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with respect to its common stock. The 2027 Capped Calls are purchased call options that give the Company the option to purchase, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially identical to those in the 2027 Notes, approximately 33 million shares of its common stock for approximately $12.79 per share (subject to adjustment), corresponding to the approximate initial conversion price of the 2027 Notes, exercisable upon conversion of the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $20.06 per share (subject to adjustment), which represents a premium of 100% over the closing price of the Company's common stock on January 13, 2022, and will expire in 2027, if not exercised earlier. The 2027 Capped Calls are intended to reduce potential dilution to the Company's common stock upon any conversion of the 2027 Notes and/or offset the potential cash payments that the Company could be required to make in excess of the principal amount upon any conversion of the 2027 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap, based on the cap price of the 2027 Capped Call transactions. The 2027 Capped Calls are separate transactions, each between the Company and the applicable option counterparty, and are not part of the terms of the 2027 Notes and will not affect any holder's rights under the 2027 Notes or the 2027 Indenture. Holders of the 2027 Notes will not have any rights with respect to the 2027 Capped Call transactions.

The Company paid an aggregate amount of $52.3 million for the 2027 Capped Calls. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the amount paid for the 2027 Capped Calls was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company's 2019 Incentive Award Plan ("2019 Plan") is more fully described in Note 14 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" on Form 10-K. Under the 2019 Plan, the Company has the ability to grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") to employees, directors and other service providers. Performance stock units ("PSUs") are RSUs that vest based on achievement of specified performance criteria. Performance stock options ("PSOs") are stock options that vest based on achievement of specified performance criteria.

Stock Options

Twenty five percent of such stock options cliff vest at the grant date first anniversary, with the remaining options vesting ratably over the following three years, subject to continued employment on each vesting date. Vested options will be exercisable at any time until ten years from the grant date, subject to earlier expiration under certain terminations of service and other conditions. The stock options granted have an exercise price equal to the closing stock price of our common stock on the grant date.

In 2022, we issued stock options as incentive compensation for certain key employees. The fair values of these stock options were estimated using a Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

(16)(12) Fair Value Measurements
We utilizeThe Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. We estimateThe Company estimates fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which is categorized in one of the following levels:
Level 1 inputs:inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the
reporting entity at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The carrying amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The following tables summarize the fair value of assets that are recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 at fair value on a recurring basis:

Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company applies accounting for contingencies to determine when and how much to accrue for and disclose related to legal and other contingencies. Accordingly, the Company discloses contingencies deemed to be reasonably possible and accrues loss contingencies when, in consultation with legal advisors, it is concluded that a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Although the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters is subject to many uncertainties and is therefore not predictable with assurance, management believes that any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company from these matters, individually and in the aggregate, beyond that provided at June 30, 2022,2023, would not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance with respect to such result, and monetary liability or financial impact to the Company from legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims could differ materially from those projected.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” "Virgin Galactic," “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto, and the discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K"). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under the Risk Factors“Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the "Cautionary"Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements"Statements" section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview
We are at the vanguard of a new industry, pioneering a consumer space experience using reusable spaceflight systems. We believe the commercial exploration of space represents one of the most exciting and important technological initiatives of our time. Approximately 630 humans have ever traveled above the Earth’s atmosphere into space. This industryVirgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. is growing dramatically due to new products, new sources of private and government funding, and new technologies. Demand is emerging from new sectors and demographics, which we believe is broadening the total addressable market. As government space agencies have retired or reduced their capacity to send humans into space, private companies are beginning to make exciting inroads into the fields of human space exploration. We have embarked on this journey with a mission to put humans and research experiments into space and return them safely to Earth on a routine and consistent basis. We believe that opening access to space will connect the world to the wonder and awe created by space travel, offering customers a transformative experience, and providing the foundation for a myriad of exciting new industries.

We are an aerospace and space travel company offering access to space for private individuals, researchers and government agencies. Our missions include flying passengers to space as tourists, as well as flying scientific payloads and researchers to space in order to conduct experiments for scientific and educational purposes. Our operations include the design and development, manufacturing, ground and flight testing, and post-flight maintenance of our spaceflight system vehicles. Our spaceflight system is developed using our proprietary technology and processes and is focused on providing space experiences for private astronauts, researcher flights and professional astronaut training.

We intend to offer our customers a unique, multi-day experience culminating in a spaceflight that includes several minutes of weightlessness and views of Earth from space. Our elegant and distinctive spaceflight system – which takes off and lands on a runway – has been designed for optimal safety and comfort. As part of our commercial operations, we have exclusive access to the Gateway to Space facility at Spaceport America located in New Mexico. Spaceport America is the world’s first purpose-built commercial spaceport and will be the site of our initial commercial spaceflight operations. We believe the site provides us with a competitive advantage as it has a desert climate with relatively predictable weather conditions preferable to support our spaceflights and it also has airspace that is restricted for surrounding general air traffic which facilitates frequent and consistent flight scheduling.

Our near-term focus is to launch the commercial program for human spaceflight. In December 2018, we made history by flying our groundbreaking spaceship, VSS Unity, to space. This represented the first flight of a spaceflight system built for commercial service to take humans into space. In February 2019, we flew our second spaceflight with VSS Unity, which carried a crew member in the cabin in addition to the two pilots. After relocating our operations to Spaceport America, we have flown an additional two spaceflights in May and July of 2021. The May 2021 flight carried revenue-generating research experiments as part of NASA’s Flight Opportunities Program. This was the third time Virgin Galactic has flown technology experiments in the cabin on a spaceflight. This flight also completed the data submission to the FAA resulting in the approval for the expansion of our commercial space transportation operator license to allow for the carriage of space flight participants. This marked the first time the FAA licensed a spaceline to fly customers and was further validation of the inherent safety of our system.

Our flight in July 2021 was the 22nd flight of VSS Unity, the fourth rocket powered spaceflight and the first spaceflight with a full crew of four mission specialists in the cabin, including our Founder, Sir Richard Branson.

Table of Contents
We believe that the market for commercial human spaceflight is significant and untapped. As of June 30, 2022, we received reservations for approximately 800 spaceflight tickets and collected approximately $104.8 million in deposits from future astronauts. With each ticket purchased, future astronauts will experience a multi-day journey to prepare their mind and body for their upcoming flight, which includes a comprehensive spaceflight training preparation program and culminates with a trip to space on the final day. Each ticket purchased after our ticket sale reopening in 2021 also includes a membership in Virgin Galactic's Future Astronaut community. This membership provides access to events and experiences, including exclusive weeks 'at home' with Virgin Galactic Astronaut 001, Sir Richard Branson.

We have developed an extensive set of integrated aerospace development capabilities encompassing preliminary vehicle design and analysis, detail design, manufacturing, ground testing, flight testing, and maintenance of our spaceflight system. Our fully reusable spaceflight system consists of two primary components: our carrier aircraft, which is called the mothership, and our spaceship.

Our mothership is a twin-fuselage, custom-built aircraft designed to carry the spaceship up to an altitude of approximately 45,000 feet where it is released for its flight into space. Using the mothership’s air launch capability, rather than a standard ground-launch, reduces the energy requirements of our spaceflight system as the spaceship does not have to ascend through the higher density atmosphere closest to the Earth’s surface. It is also a fully reusable part of our spaceflight system. The spaceship is a vehicle with the capacity to carry pilots and private astronauts, research experiments, and researchers that travel with their experiments for human tended research flights into space and return them safely to Earth. It is powered by a hybrid rocket propulsion system, which propels the spaceship on a trajectory into space. The hybrid rocket motor utilizes liquid oxidizer and solid fuel and is designed to be a simple, safe, reliable propulsion system for the spaceship. The spaceship’s cabin has been designed to maximize the future astronaut’s safety, experience and comfort. A dozen windows line the sides and ceiling of the spaceship, offering customers the ability to view the blackness of space as well as stunning views of the Earth below.

Our team is currently in various stages of designing, testing and manufacturing additional spaceships, motherships, and rocket motors in order to meet the expected demand for human spaceflight experiences. Our next generation spaceships will include the various learnings from our flight test program so we are able to design and manufacture our future spaceships to allow for greater predictability, faster turnaround time and easier maintenance. Concurrently, we are also researching and developing new products and technologies to grow our company.

Our operations also include spaceflight opportunities for research and technology development. Researchers have historically utilized parabolic aircraft and drop towers to create moments of microgravity and conduct significant research activities related to the space environment. In most cases, these solutions offer only seconds of continuous microgravity time and do not offer access to the upper atmosphere or space itself. Researchers can also conduct experiments on sounding rockets or satellites. These opportunities are expensive, infrequent and may impose highly limiting operational constraints. Our spaceflight system is intended to provide the scientific research community access to space for affordable and repeatable access to microgravity. Our suborbital platform is an end-to-end offering, which includes not only our vehicles, but also the hardware such as middeck lockers that we provide to researchers that request them, along with the processes and facilities needed for a successful campaign. The platform offers a routine, reliable and responsive service allowing for experiments to be repeated rapidly and frequently and with the opportunity to be tended in-flight by one or more researchers. This capability will enable scientific experiments as well as educational and research programs to be carried out by a broader range of individuals, organizations and institutions than ever before. Our commitment to advancing research and science has been present in all of our spaceflights to date. Most recently, in May of 2021, we carried payloads into space for research purposes through NASA's Flight Opportunities Program, and our flight in July of 2021 included research payloads from the University of Florida.

We have also leveraged our knowledge and expertise in manufacturing spaceships to occasionally perform engineering services for third parties, such as research, design, development, manufacturing and integration of advanced technology systems.

Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in Part 1, Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K titled “Risk Factors.”

31

Table of Contents
Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic and the protocols and procedures we implemented in response to the pandemic caused delays to our business and operations, which led to accumulated impacts to both schedule and cost efficiency and some delays in operational and maintenance activities, including delays in our test flight program. While we are no longer experiencing delays from these measures, the longevity and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic remain uncertain, including due to the emergence and impact of the COVID-19 variants. Measures we may need to take in the future and challenges that result from the pandemic could affect our operations necessary to complete the development of our spaceflight systems, our scheduled flight test programs and commencement of our commercial flights. See the section entitled Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" for further discussion of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2022, and management's operating plan, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Commercial Launch of Our Human Spaceflight Program
We are in the final phasesfirst spaceline to receive Federal Aviation Administration approval to carry commercial customers to space. This was through an update to our existing commercial spaceflight license which we have held since 2016. In late June 2023, we completed our first commercial spaceflight, 'Galactic 01,' which marked the start of developing our commercial spaceflight program. Prior to launch of commercial service, we must complete a period of planned maintenance and enhancements to the vehicles, as well as subsequent vehicle flight testing. Commercial service is currently expected to commence in the second quarter of 2023.service. We continuously monitor our supply chain for potential risk associated with the delivery of materials from our suppliers, which in turn could impact the future schedule for completion of the enhancement period and the start ofour commercial service. We have identified some areas of risk for timely delivery and continue to work on mitigating these identified risks. Any delays in successful completion of our test flight program,future commercial spaceflights, whether due to the supply chain the impact of COVID-19issues, general macroeconomic factors or otherwise, will impact our ability to generate revenue from human spaceflight.

Customer Demand
While not yet in commercial service for human spaceflight, weWe have already received significant interest from potential future astronauts. Going forward, we expect the size of our backlog and the number of future astronauts that have flown to space on our spaceflight system to be an important indicator of our future performance. As of June 30, 2022,2023, we had reservations for space flightsspaceflights for approximately 800 future astronauts. In August 2021, following Sir Richard Branson's successful test flight, we reopened ticket sales to a select group and increased the pricing of our consumer offerings to a base price of $450,000 per seat. In February 2022, we opened ticket sales to the general public. We are reserving 100 seats within our first 100 ticket sales1,000 commercial seats sold for research and scientific experiments. As of June 30, 2022,2023, the tickets sold represent approximately $212.0$207 million in expected future spaceflight revenue upon completion of space flights.spaceflights.

We are the first spaceline to receive FAA approval to carry commercial customers to space. This was through an update to our existing commercial spaceflight license which we have held since 2016.

Available Capacity and Annual Flight Rate
We expect to commencecommenced our commercial operations with a single spaceship, VSS Unity, and a single mothership carrier aircraft, VMS Eve, which together comprise our only spaceflight system. As a result, our annual flight rate will be constrained by the availability and capacity of this spaceflight system. Additionally, we are temporarily assigning one of the four passenger seats in VSS Unity to be occupied by one of our employees to gather input about the experience in order to help us create a better experience for our customers in the long-term. To reduce thisthe capacity constraint associated with having only one spaceflight system, we are currently developing our newest spaceship, VSS Imagine, which is expected to commence test flights in mid-2023, and private astronaut service as soon as the fourth quarter of 2023. However, given the variability inherent in-flight testing, it may be prudent for us to allow for appropriate schedule which could potentially extend Imagine's window for private astronaut service into early 2024. We intend to expand our fleet with our next generation spaceflight vehicles, which include our Delta class spaceships and our next generation motherships, which will allow us to increase our annual flight rate. We believeare dedicating significant engineering resources to the work that expandingprecedes production of the fleet will allow usfuture fleet. Simultaneously, we are focused on the flight consistency of Unity and Eve to increasebring our annual flight rate once commercialization is achieved.

Safety Performance of Our Spaceflight Systems
Our spaceflight systems are highly specialized with sophisticated and complex technology. We have built operational processes to ensure that the design, manufacture, performance and servicing of our spaceflight systems meet rigorous quality standards. However, our spaceflight systems are still subject to operational and process risks, such as manufacturing and design issues, human errors, or cyber-attacks. Any actual or perceived safety issues may result in significant reputational harm to our business and our ability to generate human spaceflight revenue.

Table of Contents
Component of Results of Operations
Revenue
To date, we have primarily generated revenue by transporting scientific commercial research and development payloads using our spaceflight systems and by providing engineering services. We also have generated revenues from sponsorship arrangements and fees related to our Future Astronaut community.
Following the commercial launch of our human spaceflight services, we expect the significant majority of our revenue to be derived from ticket sales to fly to space and related services. We also expect that we will continue to receive a small portion of our revenue by providing services relating to the research, design, development, manufacture and integration of advanced technology systems.
Customer Experience
Customer experience expenses related to spaceflight operations include the consumption of a rocket motor and fuel and other consumables, as well as payroll and benefits for our pilots and ground crew. Customer experience expenses related to the payload cargo services, as well as engineering services, consist of materials and human capital, such as payroll and benefits, to perform these services. Additionally, customer experience expenses include costs associated with maintaining and growing our Future Astronaut community, as well as hospitality, medical, safety, security, training, and facility costs that are for the benefit of our astronauts.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of human capital related expenses for employees involved in general corporate functions, including executive management and administration, accounting, finance, tax, legal, information technology, marketing and commercial, and human resources; rent relating to facilities, including a portion of the lease with Spaceport America, and equipment; professional fees; and other general corporate costs. Human capital expenses primarily include salaries, cash bonuses, stock-based compensation and benefits. As we continue to grow as a company, we expect that our selling, general and administrative costs will increase on an absolute dollar basis.
Research and Development
Research and development expense represents costs incurred to support activities that advance our human spaceflight system towards commercialization, including basic research, applied research, concept formulation studies, design, development, and related testing activities. Research and development costs consist primarily of the following costs for developing our spaceflight systems:
flight testing programs, including rocket motors, fuel, and payroll and benefits for pilots and ground crew performing test flights;
equipment, material, and labor hours (including from third party contractors) for developing the spaceflight system’s structure, spaceflight propulsion system, and flight profiles; and
rent, maintenance, and other overhead expenses allocated to the research and development departments.

As of June 30, 2022, our current primary research and development objectives focus on the development of our mothership and spaceship vehicles for commercial spaceflights and developing our rocket motor, a hybrid rocket propulsion system that will be used to propel our spaceship vehicles into space. The successful development of mothership, spaceship and rocket motor involves many uncertainties, including:
our ability to recruit and retain skilled engineering and manufacturing staff;
timing in finalizing spaceflight systems design and specifications;
successful completion of flight test programs, including flight safety tests;
our ability to obtain additional applicable approvals, licenses or certifications from regulatory agencies, if required, and maintaining current approvals, licenses or certifications;
performance of our manufacturing facilities despite risks that disrupt productions, such as natural disasters and hazardous materials;
33

Table of Contents
performance of a limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials and components;
performance of our third-party contractors that support our manufacturing and research and development activities including the quality of components and subassemblies;
our ability to maintain rights from third parties for intellectual properties critical to research and development activities;
continued access to launch sites and airspace;
our ability to continue funding and maintain our current research and development activities; and
the impact of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables could delay the development of our motherships, spaceships, or rocket motors, which in turn could impact when we are able to commence our human spaceflights.

As we are currently still in our final development and testing stage of our spaceflight system, we have expensed all research and development costs associated with developing and building our spaceflight system. We expect that our research and development expenses will decrease once technological feasibility is reached for our spaceflight systems as the costs incurred to manufacture additional spaceship vehicles, built by leveraging the invested research and development, will no longer qualify as research and development activities.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment, net is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter period of the estimated life or the lease term. Once we have completed our test flight program and commenced commercial operations, we will capitalize the cost to construct any unfinished and additional spaceships and motherships. As these additional spaceships and motherships are placed into service, the related depreciation will be included in the Depreciation and Amortization line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We have not capitalized any spaceship development costs to date.

Change in Fair Value of Warrants
Change in fair value of warrants reflects the non-cash change in the fair value of warrants. Certain warrants issued as part of the Company's initial public offering in 2017 and assumed upon the consummation of the Virgin Galactic business combination in October 2019 (the "Business Combination") were recorded at their fair value on the date of the Business Combination and are remeasured as of any warrant exercise date and at the end of each reporting period. No warrants were outstanding during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Income
Interest income primarily includes interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Interest Expense
Interest expense consists of amortization of debt issuance costs and contractual interest expense for our 2027 Notes, as well as interest expense related to our finance lease obligations.

Other Income
Other income consists of miscellaneous non-operating items, such as gains on marketable securities and handling fees related to customer refunds.

Income Tax Provision
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and the United Kingdom. Our income tax provision consists of an estimate of federal, state, and foreign income taxes based on enacted federal, state, and foreign tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in tax laws.

Funding Requirements
We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to advance the development of our spaceflight system and the commercialization of our human spaceflight operations. In addition, we expect customer experienceour operating expenses to increase significantly as we commencecontinue our commercial operations and add additional spaceships to our operating fleet.

Specifically, our operating expenses will increase as we:
scale up our manufacturing processes and capabilities to support expanding our fleet with additional spaceships, carrier aircraft and rocket motors uponin connection with commercialization;
pursue further research and development on our future human spaceflights, including those related to our research and education efforts on point-to-point travel;spaceflights;

seek regulatory approval for any changes, upgrades or improvements to our spaceflight technologies and operations in the future, especially upon commercialization;future;
maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;
establish our astronaut campus in New Mexico; and
hire additional personnel in management to support the expansion of our operational, financial, information technology, and other areas to support our operations as a public company.

In some cases, weWe expect our arrangements with third-party providers including under our Master Agreement with Aurora Flight Sciences Corporation (“Aurora), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company, for the design and manufacture of our next generation of carrier aircraft and to manufacture key subassemblies for our next generation spaceships will require significant capital expenditures from us, but suchus. Certain estimated amounts in connection with third-party arrangements are subject to future negotiations and cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty.
Although we believe that our current capital is adequate to sustain our operations for at least the next twelve months, changing circumstances may cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more money than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control. Additionally, we are in the final phases of developing our commercial spaceflight program. While we anticipatehave completed our initial commercial launch with a single spaceship, we currently have additional spaceship vehicles under construction. We anticipate the costs to manufacture additional vehicles will begin to decrease as we continue to scale up our manufacturing processes and capabilities. Until we achieve technological feasibility with our next generation spaceflight systems, we will not capitalize expenditures incurred to construct any additional components of ourthese spaceflight systems and we will continue to expense these costs as incurred to research and development.
Issuances of Common Stock
In August 2022, we entered into a distribution agency agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (each, an "Agent" and collectively, the "Agents") providing for the offer and sale of up to $300 million of shares of our common stock from time to time through the Agents, acting as sales agents, or directly to one or more of the Agents, acting as principal(s), through an "at the market offering" program (the "2022 ATM Program").
We completed the 2022 ATM Program in June 2023, selling a total of 59.4 million shares of common stock and generating $300 million in gross proceeds since its inception, before deducting $3.0 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Outlook
For at least the next twelve months, we expect our principal demand for funds will be for our ongoing activities described above. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily through our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity available to fund our business needs, commitments and contractual obligations in a timely manner for the next twelve months.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

Beyond the next twelve months, our principal demand for funds will be to sustain our operations, including the construction of additional motherships under an agreement with a third-party contractor,spaceships and spaceship vehicles, construction of our astronaut campus,motherships, expansion of the New Mexico Spaceport, construction of our astronaut campus and for the payment of the principal amount of our convertible senior notes as it becomesthey become due. We expect to begin generatinggenerate revenue from our human spaceflight program, which is expected to launchcommenced with our first commercial spaceflight, 'Galactic 01,' in the second quarter oflate June 2023. To the extent this source of capital as well as the sources of capital described above are insufficient to meet our needs, we may also conductneed to seek additional offerings of our securitiesdebt or refinance debt. We expect these resources will be adequate to fund our ongoing operating activities.

The commercial launch of our human spaceflight program and the anticipated expansion of our fleet have unpredictable costs and are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, that may affect the timing and magnitude of these anticipated expenditures.

Except as set forth inNote 17, Commitments and Contingencies, of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations and commitments as described in Part II, Item 7. Managements“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsOperations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additionally, in some cases, we have entered arrangements with third-party providers for services, such as the design and manufacture of our next generation of carrier aircraft. The amounts we would pay under those arrangements will be significant but are not contractually committed until we execute specific task orders with the applicable counterparty, are subject to future negotiations and cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies describedreferred to below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements and, therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Please refer

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have operations withinDuring the United States and the United Kingdom and as such we are exposedfiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, there were no significant changes to our market risks compared to those previously disclosed in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of interest rate changesPart II, Item 7A. "Quantitative and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We are also exposed to market risk from changesQualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" included in our stock prices, which impact the fair value of our 2027 Notes. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.

Interest Rate Risk
We had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2022 of which $0.9 billion was invested in money market funds, certificate deposits, and corporate debt securities. Our cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. Our marketable securities are held for capital preservation purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.
Our cash equivalents and our investment portfolio are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of our expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. However, because we classify our marketable securities as “available for sale,” no gains are recognized due to changes in interest rates. As losses due to changes in interest rates are generally not considered to be credit related changes, no losses in such securities are recognized due to changes in interest rates unless we intend to sell, it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell, we sell prior to maturity or we otherwise determine that all or a portion of the decline in fair value are due to credit related factors.
In January 2022, we issued the 2027 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million. Concurrently with the issuance of the 2027 Notes, we entered into separate capped call transactions. The 2027 Capped Calls were completed to reduce the potential dilution from the conversion of the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 2.50%. Accordingly, we do not have economic interest rate exposureAnnual Report on the 2027 Notes. However, changes in market interest rates impact the fair value of the 2027 Notes. In addition, the fair value of the 2027 Notes fluctuates when the market price of our common stock fluctuates. The fair value was determined based on the quoted bid price of the 2027 Notes in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the reporting period.
As of June 30, 2022, a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have had a material impact on the value of our cash equivalents or investment portfolio. Fluctuations in the value of our cash equivalents and investment portfolio caused by a change in interest rates (gains or losses on the carrying value) are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), and are realized only if we sell the underlying securities prior to maturity.

Foreign Currency Risk
The functional currency of our operations in the United Kingdom is the local currency. We translate the financial statements of the operations in the United Kingdom to United States Dollars and as such we are exposed to foreign currency

risk. Currently, we do not use foreign currency forward contracts to manage exchange rate risk, as the amount subject to foreign currency risk is not material to our overall operations and results.Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2022,2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 20222023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
