Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Globalstar, Inc. (“Globalstar” or the “Company”) provides Mobile Satellite Services (“MSS”) including voice and data communications and wholesale capacity services through its global satellite network. The Company’s only reportable segment is its MSS business. Thermo Companies, through commonly controlled affiliates, (collectively, “Thermo”) is the principal owner and largest stockholder of Globalstar. The Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board controls Thermo. The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); however, management believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Globalstar Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”). The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 estimates. The Company evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Globalstar and all its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. In the opinion of management, the information included herein includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-04: Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations . ASU 2022-04 added certain disclosure requirements for buyers in supplier finance programs. The amendments in the update require that buyers disclose qualitative and quantitative information about their supplier finance programs. Interim and annual requirements include disclosure of outstanding amounts under the obligations as of the end of the reporting period, and annual requirements include a rollforward of those obligations for the annual reporting period, as well as a description of payment and other key terms of the programs. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted this standard when it became effective on January 1, 2023 and revised its disclosures pursuant to ASU 2022-04.

(“Partner”) announced new satellite-enabled services for certain of its products (the “Services”). The Company is the satellite operator for these Services pursuant to the agreement (the “Service Agreement”) and certain related ancillary agreements (such agreements, together with the Service Agreement, the “Service Agreements”). The Service Agreements generally require Globalstar to allocate network capacity to support the Services, which launched in November 2022. Revenue associated with the Service Agreements is included in "Wholesale capacity services" in the table above. As consideration for the services provided by Globalstar under the Service Agreements, Partner makes payments to Globalstar, including a recurring service fee, payments relating to certain service-related operating expenses and capital expenditures, and potential bonus payments subject to satisfaction of certain licensing, service and other related criteria. In February 2023, Partner agreed to pay the Company $6.5 million as consideration related to performance obligations completed in prior periods. The Company recognized this revenue during the first quarter of 2023. The Company attributes equipment revenue to various countries based on the location where equipment is sold. Service revenue is generally attributed to the various countries based on the Globalstar entity that holds the customer contract. The following table discloses revenue disaggregated by geographical market (amounts in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 June 30, 2022 June 30, 2023 June 30, 2022 Service revenue: United States $ 40,643 $ 24,875 $ 85,704 $ 47,163 Canada 3,640 4,128 7,469 7,817 Europe 1,706 1,671 3,219 3,154 Central and South America 2,477 2,248 4,844 3,984 Others 182 126 366 274 Total service revenue $ 48,648 $ 33,048 $ 101,602 $ 62,392 Subscriber equipment sales: United States $ 2,562 $ 2,227 $ 4,545 $ 3,783 Canada 2,129 879 4,435 1,677 Europe 907 309 1,727 945 Central and South America 825 328 1,402 757 Others 1 9 5 18 Total subscriber equipment sales $ 6,424 $ 3,752 $ 12,114 $ 7,180 Total revenue $ 55,072 $ 36,800 $ 113,716 $ 69,572 Accounts Receivable The Company records trade accounts receivable from its customers, including MSS subscribers and its Partner under the Service Agreements, when it has a contractual right to receive payment either on demand or on fixed or determinable dates in the future. In addition to receivables arising from the sale of goods or services, the Company also has certain arrangements whereby it acts as an agent to procure goods and perform services on behalf of Partner under the Service Agreements. Receivables are included in "Accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses," on the Company's consolidated balance sheets except for the long-term portion of the wholesale capacity accounts receivable, which is included in "Prepaid satellite construction costs and customer receivable." The Company's receivable balances by type and classification are presented in the table below net of allowance for credit losses and may include amounts related to earned but unbilled receivables (amounts in thousands). As of: June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses Subscriber accounts receivable $ 20,816 $ 14,850 Wholesale capacity accounts receivable 7,481 7,234 Agency agreement accounts receivable 1,891 4,245 Total accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses $ 30,188 $ 26,329 Long-term wholesale capacity accounts receivable 16,100 16,100 Total accounts receivable (short-term and long-term), net of allowance for credit losses $ 46,288 $ 42,429 In February 2022, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase of new satellites that will replenish the Company's existing satellite constell ation. Under the Service Agreements, subject to certain terms and conditions, Partner has agreed to make service payments equal to 95% of the approved capita l expenditures under the satellite procurement agreement with Macdonald, Dettwiler and Associates Corporation ("MDA") and certain other costs incurred for the new satellites; these payments are expected to be paid on a straight-line basis commencing with the launch of these satellites through their estimated useful life ("Phase 2 Service Period"). Based on construction in progress incurred by the Company, amounts expected to be billed to Partner associated with this phase of the Service Agreements were $162.5 million a s of June 30, 2023 . In prior filings, the Company recorded a long-term unbilled receivable and related long-term deferred revenue reflecting its Partner’s obligation to fund 95% of the construction costs associated with the satellites that are being constructed to provide service during the Phase 2 Service Period. During the second quarter 2023, the Company revised this presentation and applied this change to its December 31, 2022 balance sheet. This change in accounting presentation has no impact on Partner’s obligation to provide funding for the satellite construction costs nor the expected revenue the Company will recognize during the Phase 2 Service Period. Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities, which are included in deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, represent the Company’s obligation to transfer service or equipment to a customer from whom it has previously received consideration. Contract liabilities reflect balances from its customers, including MSS subscribers and the Partner under the Service Agreements. The Company's contract liabilities by type and classification are presented in the table below (amounts in thousands). As of: June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Short-term contract liabilities Subscriber contract liabilities $ 24,074 $ 21,987 Wholesale capacity contract liabilities 32,650 52,652 Total short-term contract liabilities $ 56,724 $ 74,639 Long-term contract liabilities Subscriber contract liabilities $ 1,770 $ 1,704 Wholesale capacity contract liabilities, net of contract asset 3,150 61,173 Total long-term contract liabilities $ 4,920 $ 62,877 Total contract liabilities $ 61,644 $ 137,516 For subscriber contract liabilities, the amount of revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 from performance obligations included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of these periods was $14.0 million and $18.3 million, respectively. For wholesale capacity contract liabilities, the amount of revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 from performance obligations included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of these periods was $33.5 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The duration of the Company’s contracts with subscribers is generally one year or less. As of June 30, 2023, the Company expects to recognize $24.1 million of its remaining performance obligations to its subscribers during the next twelve months. The Service Agreements have no expiration date; therefore, the related contract liabilities may be recognized into revenue over various periods driven by the expected related service or recoupment periods. As of June 30, 2023, the Company expects to recognize $32.7 million of its remaining performance obligations to its Partner during the next twelve months. The components of wholesale capacity contract liabilities are presented in the table below (amounts in thousands). As of: June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Wholesale capacity contract liabilities, net: Advanced payments for services expected to be performed with the second-generation satellite constellation during Phase 1 (1) (3) $ 6,426 $ 99,671 Additional consideration associated with the 2021 Funding Agreement (4) 10,519 — Advanced payments for services expected to be performed with the ground spare satellite launched in June 2022 during Phases 1 and 2 24,552 25,438 Advanced payments contractually owed for services expected to be performed with the next-generation satellite constellation prior to the Phase 2 Service Period 16,602 22,540 Additional consideration associated with the 2023 Funding Agreement (5) 4,509 — Advanced payments for the Phase 1 service fee and service-related operating expenses and capital expenditures 19,871 18,872 Contract asset (2) (46,679) (52,696) Wholesale capacity contract liabilities, net $ 35,800 $ 113,825 (1) In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company records imputed interest associated with the significant financing component, totaling $4.8 million and $5.3 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which is included in deferred revenue and represents the remaining amount to be recognized over the Company's performance obligations. (2) In November 2022, the Company issued warrants to Partner (the "Warrants"). The initial fair value of the Warrants at the time of issuance was $48.3 million and recorded in equity with an offset to a contract asset on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Warrants is recorded as a reduction to revenue over the period in which the Company performs its performance obligations through the estimated completion of the contract term, consistent with the period in which the customer benefits from the services provided. (3) During 2021, the Company received payments from Partner totaling $94.2 million (the "2021 Funding Agreement"). In February 2023, the Service Agreements were amended. This amendment, which was effective in April 2023, changed certain terms in the 2021 Funding Agreement, including granting Partner a first lien security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. This amendment resulted in $88.0 million previously recorded as deferred revenue to be re-characterized as debt during the second quarter of 2023. See further discussion in Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements. (4) In connection with the Company recording the fair value of the financial obligations in the amended 2021 Funding Agreement, it recorded a debt discount of $11.6 million, representing the difference between the present value of the future principal payments discounted using the prevailing market rate at the date of issuance of the debt and the effective rate. The offset was recorded to deferred revenue and is being recognized into revenue over the Phase 1 Service Period. (5) In connection with the Company recording the fair value of the financial obligations in the 2023 Funding Agreement (as defined in Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements), it recorded a debt discount of $4.5 million, representing the difference between the present value of the future principal payments discounted using the prevailing market rate at the date of issuance of the debt and the effective rate. The offset was recorded to deferred revenue and will be recognized into revenue over the Phase 2 Service Period.

This agreement has an initial contract price of $327 million, of which $166.0 million had been incurred as of June 30, 2023 and $98.5 million as of December 31, 2022. The "space component" of construction in progress in the table above includes costs incurred under the MDA contract as well as associated personnel costs and capitalized interest. Accrued satellite construction costs on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 included $54.2 million and $36.1 million, respectively, of work completed, but not yet invoiced, under the satellite procurement agreement. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company also recorded $8.1 million and $11.5 million, respectively, as prepaid satellite construction costs for the first milestone payment made upon signing of the contract; these costs are recorded in Prepaid satellite construction costs and customer receivable on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The carrying value is net of deferred financing costs and any discounts to the loan amounts at issuance, including accretion. All amounts outstanding associated with the Company's vendor financing arrangement were due in March 2023 and, therefore, were reflected as a current liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, the current portion of long-term debt is associated with the 2021 Funding Agreement and represents the amounts to be paid to Partner under the Service Agreements during the next twelve months. 2023 Funding Agreement In February 2023, the Company and its Partner agreed to amend its Service Agreements to provide for, among other things, the Partner’s payment of up to $252 million to the Company (the “2023 Funding Agreement”) to fund 50% of the amounts due under its agreement with MDA, as well as launch, insurance and ancillary costs incurred in connection with the construction and launch of these satellites. The 2023 Funding Agreement replaces the Company’s requirement to raise third-party financing for such costs as previously required under the Service Agreements and will be funded on a quarterly basis, subject to certain conditions in the agreement. The remaining amount of the satellite costs is expected to be funded from Globalstar’s operating cash flows. Partner made the first payment under the 2023 Funding Agreement to the Company in April 2023 in the amount of $87.7 million. These proceeds were used to pay amounts owed to MDA for milestones completed as of the payment date. The total amount paid to the Company under the 2023 Funding Agreement, including fees, is expected to be recouped from amounts payable by the Partner for services provided by the Company under the Service Agreements. The total balance is expected to be recouped in installments for a period of 16 quarters beginning no later than the third quarter of 2025. The balance may also be repaid over time through excess cash flow sweeps or voluntary prepayments, as provided under the terms of the 2023 Funding Agreement. For as long as any amount funded under the 2023 Funding Agreement is outstanding, the Company will be subject to certain covenants, including (i) maintenance of a minimum cash balance of $30 million, (ii) interest coverage and leverage ratios, and (iii) other customary negative covenants, including limitations on certain asset transfers, expenditures and investments. Thermo has agreed to provide support of certain of the Company’s obligations under the 2023 Funding Agreement. Currently, this support agreement is directly between Thermo and Partner, and the parties have agreed to replace it with agreement between Thermo, the Company and the Partner. Entry into this guarantee agreement received shareholder approval in June 2023, and it is expected to be effective during the third quarter of 2023. See further discussion regarding Thermo's guarantee in Note 9: Related Party Transactions. The Company recorded the fair value of the 2023 Funding Agreement using a discounted cash flow model. The Company recorded debt discounts for the difference between the fair value of the debt and the proceeds received. This difference is attributed to the fair value of the Thermo guarantee (recorded as additional paid in capital) and the fair value of the economic benefit received due to the existing customer relationship (recorded as deferred revenue); both of these debt discounts are netted against the face value of the 2023 Funding Agreement. The Company is accreting the debt discounts to interest expense through the maturity date using an effective interest rate method. Additionally, the prepayment features included in the 2023 Funding Agreement required bifurcation from the debt and were valued separately. The Company recorded the embedded derivative liability as a non-current liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding debt discount, which is netted against the face value of the 2023 Funding Agreement. The Company is accreting the debt discount associated with the embedded derivative liability to interest expense through the maturity date using an effective interest rate method. Refer to Note 6: Derivatives and Note 7: Fair Value Measurements for further discussion on the compound embedded derivative bifurcated from the 2023 Funding Agreement. As the Company makes additional draws under the 2023 Funding Agreement, the amount of each draw will be recorded at fair value and the Company will assess the fair value of embedded features within the debt. The table below outlines the components of the first draw under the 2023 Funding Agreement at funding (amounts in thousands): Principal $ 87,729 Debt Discount - Thermo Guarantee (6,897) Debt Discount - Customer Relationship (4,509) Debt Discount - Embedded Derivative (341) Fair Value at Issuance $ 75,982 2021 Funding Agreement During 2021, the Company received payments from Partner under the 2021 Funding Agreement totaling $94.2 million. In connection with the February 2023 amendment of the Service Agreements (discussed above), certain terms of the 2021 Funding Agreement with Partner were amended to align with the terms of the 2023 Funding Agreement, including granting Partner a first-priority lien in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries to secure the Company's repayment of amounts funded by Partner. This amendment resulted in the Company re-characterizing the previously recorded deferred revenue to debt. The Company recorded the funding under the 2021 Funding Agreement at fair value, net of a debt discount. The Company is accreting the debt discount to interest expense through the maturity date using an effective interest rate method. The table below outlines the components of the 2021 Funding Agreement (amounts in thousands): Principal $ 94,200 Less: Amount Repaid (6,250) Debt Discount - Customer Relationship (11,626) Fair Value at Issuance $ 76,324 2023 13% Notes In March 2023, the Company completed the sale of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of non-convertible 13% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2023 13% Notes”). The 2023 13% Notes were sold pursuant to a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated March 28, 2023 among the Company, as issuer, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), an affiliate of Värde Partners and the other purchasers party thereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”). The 2023 13% Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 31, 2023 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, as guarantors, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. The 2023 13% Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and have a stated maturity of September 15, 2029. The 2023 13% Notes were sold at an issue price of 95% of the principal amount of the 2023 13% Notes. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to pay financing costs of $7.8 million, which were recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as a reduction in the carrying amount of the debt. The 2023 13% Notes bear interest initially at a rate of 13.00% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears. The Company is required to pay interest (i) at a rate per annum of 4.00% which must be paid in cash and (ii) at a rate per annum of 9.00% which may be paid either (a) in-kind (“PIK”) by increasing the principal amount of the 2023 13% Notes outstanding or (b) in cash, in such proportion as the Company may choose, with a step up in the PIK component of the interest if any 2023 13% Notes remain outstanding after March 15, 2028. The Company has agreed with its Partner under the Service Agreements to pay cash interest on the 2023 13% Notes at a rate of 6.5% per annum and PIK interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum. The 2023 13% Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company at any time, subject to the conditions of the Indenture. Among other things, prior to March 15, 2025 (the “First Call Date”), the Company will be permitted to redeem the 2023 13% Notes in whole or in part at the redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 13% Notes redeemed plus a premium based on the net present value of the remaining interest payments through the First Call Date. Beginning on the First Call Date, the 2023 13% Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to Additionally, in the event of a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the Indenture) or certain other events, holders of the 2023 13% Notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2023 13% Notes at a price (as calculated by the Company) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and certain tax payments. The Indenture includes customary terms and covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ ability to incur indebtedness, make guarantees, sell equity interests, and customary events of default after which the holders may accelerate the maturity of the 2023 13% Notes and become due and payable immediately. 2019 Facility Agreement In November 2019, the Company entered into a $199.0 million facility agreement with Thermo, an affiliate of EchoStar Corporation and certain other unaffiliated lenders (the "2019 Facility Agreement"). The 2019 Facility Agreement was scheduled to mature in November 2025. The loans under the 2019 Facility Agreement bore interest at a rate of 14.0% per annum to be paid in kind (or in cash at the option of the Company). The Service Agreements required the Company to refinance all loans outstanding under the 2019 Facility Agreement. A portion was refinanced in November 2022 and the remaining portion was refinanced in March 2023. Using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the 2023 13% Notes, the Company repaid all of its outstanding obligations under the 2019 Facility Agreement of approximately $148 million. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 representing the difference between the net carrying amount prior to extinguishment (including unamortized deferred financing costs, debt discounts and derivatives) and the reacquisition price of the debt. Refer to Note 6: Derivatives and Note 7: Fair Value Measurements for further discussion on the compound embedded derivative bifurcated from the 2019 Facility Agreement. Vendor Financing In February 2022, the Company entered into a satellite procurement agreement with MDA (see Note 8: Commitments and Contingencies for further discussion). This agreement (as amended in October 2022 and January 2023) provided for deferrals of milestone payments through March 15, 2023. Interest accrued on the amount outstanding at an annual rate of 7%, which increased to 10.5% on balances between December 2022 and March 2023. The Company has made payments totaling $76.1 million to MDA under this vendor financing arrangement, of which $62.1 million (including $2.5 million of interest) was paid during the first quarter of 2023 to fully repay the outstanding vendor financing balance. Reflected in the table below is a rollforward of the Company's obligations under its vendor financing arrangement with MDA (amounts in thousands): As of: June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Confirmed obligations outstanding, January 1, 2023 and 2022, respectively $ 59,575 $ — Invoices confirmed during the periods — 73,575 Confirmed invoices paid during the periods (59,575) (14,000) Confirmed obligations outstanding, June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively $ — $ 59,575 Series A Preferred Stock In November 2022, the Company issued 149,425 shares of its 7.0% Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, liquidation preference $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) in exchange for $149.4 million outstanding principal amount of its 2019 Facility Agreement held by affiliates of Thermo and certain other lenders. The Company recorded the Series A Preferred Stock at fair value of the shares totaling $105.3 million on its consolidated balance sheet. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors or a committee thereof, cumulative cash dividends based on the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, at a fixed rate equal to 7.00% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	6. DERIVATIVES The Company has identified various embedded derivatives resulting from certain features in the Company’s borrowing arrangements, requiring recognition on its consolidated balance sheets. None of these derivative instruments are designated as a hedge. The following table discloses the fair values of the derivative instruments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (in thousands): As of: June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Derivative liabilities: Embedded derivative within 2023 Funding Agreement $ (42) $ — Compound embedded derivative within the 2019 Facility Agreement — (122) Derivative liabilities are recorded in "Other non-current liabilities" on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The following table discloses the changes in value recorded as derivative gain (loss) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 June 30, 2022 June 30, 2023 June 30, 2022 Embedded derivative within 2023 Funding Agreement $ 299 $ — $ 299 $ — Compound embedded derivative within the 2013 8.00% Notes — — — 216 Compound embedded derivative within the 2019 Facility Agreement — (1,242) — (1,944) Total derivative gain (loss) $ 299 $ (1,242) $ 299 $ (1,728) The fair value of each embedded derivative is marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period, or more frequently as deemed necessary, with any changes in value reported in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as a non-cash operating activity. See Note 7: Fair Value Measurements for further discussion. The instruments and related features embedded in the debt instruments that are required to be accounted for as derivatives are described below. Compound Embedded Derivative within 2013 8.00% Notes The 2013 8.00% Notes contained a conversion option and contingent put feature that were required to be bifurcated and recorded as a compound embedded derivative. The Company determined the fair value of the compound embedded derivative liability using a Monte Carlo simulation model. During the first quarter of 2022, the remaining principal amount of the 2013 8.00% Notes was converted into shares of Globalstar common stock; accordingly, the associated derivative was extinguished and is no longer outstanding. Compound embedded derivative within the 2019 Facility Agreement The 2019 Facility Agreement contained certain contingently exercisable put features that were required to be bifurcated and recorded as a compound embedded derivative. The Company determined the fair value of this derivative using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. In November 2022, the Company exchanged a portion of the 2019 Facility Agreement into Series A Preferred Stock. In March 2023, the Company refinanced the remaining principal outstanding under the 2019 Facility Agreement with proceeds from the issuance of its 2023 13% Notes. As a result of this activity, the Company wrote off the embedded derivative associated with the 2019 Facility Agreement, which is included in "Loss on extinguishment of debt" on the condensed consolidated statement of operations; therefore, no balance remained as of March 31, 2023. See Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements for further discussion.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements relating to financial and non-financial assets and liabilities, including presentation of required disclosures herein. This guidance establishes a fair value framework requiring the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets and liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following tables provide a summary of the liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): June 30, 2023 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total Embedded derivative within 2023 Funding Agreement $ — $ — $ (42) $ (42) Total liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ — $ (42) $ (42) December 31, 2022 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total Compound embedded derivative within the 2019 Facility Agreement — — (122) (122) Total liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ — $ (122) $ (122) The Company marks-to-market its derivatives at each reporting date, or more frequently as deemed necessary, with the changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In March 2023, the Company refinanced the remaining principal balance outstanding under the 2019 Facility Agreement and wrote off the associated embedded derivative balance; therefore, no balance remained as of March 31, 2023. Compound Embedded Derivative within the 2019 Facility Agreement The compound embedded derivative within the 2019 Facility Agreement was valued using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The most significant observable input used in the fair value measurement was the discount yield. The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement included the probability of change of control and the estimated timing and amounts of cash flows associated with certain mandatory prepayments within the debt agreement. See Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements for further discussion. Embedded Derivative within the 2023 Funding Agreement The embedded derivative associated with the 2023 Funding Agreement is valued using a discounted cash flow model. The most significant observable input used in the fair value measurement is the discount yield, which was 8.21% at June 30, 2023 and 8.52% at issuance. As the discount yield used in the valuation decreases, the fair value of the embedded derivative decreases. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement includes estimated timing and amounts of cash flows associated with the prepayment features within the debt agreement. As projected cash flows decrease, the fair value of the embedded derivative decreases. See Note 6: Derivatives for further discussion. Rollforward of Recurring Level 3 Assets and Liabilities The following table presents a rollforward for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands): Six Months Ended Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022 Balance at beginning of period, January 1, 2023 and 2022, respectively $ (122) $ (880) Issuance of embedded derivative within the 2023 Funding Agreement (341) — Derivative adjustment related to conversions — 1,563 Derivative adjustment related to extinguishment of debt 122 — Unrealized gain (loss), included in derivative gain (loss) 299 (805) Balance at end of period, June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively $ (42) $ (122) Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements 2023 Funding Agreement As previously discussed, the Company entered into the 2023 Funding Agreement with its Partner in February 2023. Significant quantitative Level 3 inputs were utilized in the valuation model as of the first draw date on April 18, 2023. The Company's first draw under the 2023 Funding Agreement occurred in April 2023 with a total fair value of $76.0 million calculated as the projected future cash flows discounted using the prevailing market rate of interest for a similar transaction. The discount yield used for this calculation was 8.52%. Amounts payable to Partner under the 2023 Funding Agreement, are expected to be guaranteed by Thermo under a guarantee agreement among Thermo, the Company and the Partner. The Company recorded a total fair value of $6.9 million for this embedded feature, which was calculated as the difference in projected cash flows with and without the guarantee agreement discounted using calculated rates of 6.22% and 8.52%, respectively. 2021 Funding Agreement In connection with the re-characterization of the 2021 Funding Agreement from deferred revenue to debt, the Company recorded the fair value of the debt calculated as the projected cash flows discounted using the prevailing market rate of interest for a similar transaction. The discount yield used for this calculation was 8.52%. The total fair value of the 2021 Funding Agreement was $76.3 million and was recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balances sheet during the second quarter of 2023 when the amendment was effective. Fair Value of Debt and Other Financing Arrangements The Company believes it is not practicable to determine the fair value of its debt agreements on a recurring basis without incurring significant additional costs. Unlike typical long-term debt, certain terms for these instruments are not readily available and generally involve a variety of factors, including due diligence by the debt holders. The Company's vendor financing arrangement was recorded at net carrying value, which approximated fair value. See Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements for further discussion of the Company's debt instruments.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Service Agreements The Service Agreements set forth the primary terms for the Company to provide services to Partner and incur costs related primarily to new gateways and upgrades at existing gateways as well as satellite construction and launch services. The Service Agreements have an indefinite term but provide that either party may terminate subject to certain notice requirements and, in some cases, other conditions. The Service Agreements also provide for various commitments with which the Company must comply, including to: • Allocate 85% of its current and future network capacity to support the Services; • Provide and maintain all resources, including personnel, software, satellite, gateways, satellite spectrum and regulatory rights necessary to provide the Services (the “Required Resources”); • Prioritize the Services and provide Partner with priority access to the Required Resources, including the Company’s licensed satellite spectrum; • Maintain minimum quality and coverage standards and provide continuity of service; • Maintain minimum liquidity of $30 million; • Use best efforts to obtain a standby letter of credit by December 31, 2023 (or such future date as determined by Partner) in the aggregate outstanding amounts of the 2021 and 2023 Funding Agreements; • Allow Partner to recoup advance payments made to Globalstar from future service fees or, to the extent recoupment is not possible, to repay such amounts in cash; and, • Provide the Resource Protections as defined in the Service Agreements. The Service Agreements also required the Company refinance all loans outstanding under the 2019 Facility Agreement. The required refinancings have been completed. Partner has the right, but not the obligation, to participate in certain issuances of the Company’s equity securities, in order to maintain its percentage interest in the Company (determined on a fully diluted basis, assuming exercise of all the Warrants). Refer to Note 2: Revenue, Note 3: Leases, Note 4: Property and Equipment and Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements for further discussion. Satellite Procurement Agreement In February 2022, the Company entered into a satellite procurement agreement with MDA pursuant to which Globalstar will acquire 17 satellites that will replenish Globalstar's existing constellation of satellites and ensure long-term continuity of its mobile satellite services. Globalstar is acquiring the satellites to provide continuous satellite services to Partner under the Service Agreements, as well as services to Globalstar’s current and future customers. Globalstar plans to contract separately for launch services and launch insurance for the new satellites. The initial contract price for 17 satellites is $327 million ; Globalstar has the option to purchase additional satellites at a lower per unit cost, subject to certain conditions. The satellites are expected to be launched in 2025. In addition, MDA will procure a satellite operations control center for $4.9 million. Under the Service Agreements, subject to certain terms and conditions, Partner has agreed to make service payments equal to 95% of the approved capital expenditures under the satellite procurement agreement (to be paid on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the satellites) and certain other costs incurred for the new satellites, as adjusted based on certain provisions, beginning with the Phase 2 Service Period. Refer to Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements for further discussion of the vendor financing arrangement with MDA.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Thermo is the principal owner and largest stockholder of Globalstar. The Company's Executive Chairman of the Board controls Thermo. Two other members of the Company's Board of Directors are also directors, officers or minority equity owners of various Thermo entities. Payables to Thermo related to normal purchase transactions were $0.3 million and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Transactions with Thermo Certain general and administrative expenses are incurred by Thermo on behalf of the Company. These expenses include: i) non-cash expenses, such as stock compensation costs as well as costs recorded as a contribution to capital as they relate to services provided by certain executive officers of Thermo, and ii) expenses incurred by Thermo on behalf of the Company that are charged to the Company; these charges are based on actual amounts (with no mark-up) incurred by Thermo or upon allocated employee time. The Company has a lease agreement with Thermo Covington, LLC for the Company's headquarters office. Annual lease payments started at $1.4 million per year and increase at a rate of 2.5% per year. 2023 lease payments will be $1.6 million. The lease term is ten years and will expire in January 2029. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred lease expense of $0.8 million under this lease agreement. To fulfill its obligations under the Service Agreements, in November 2022, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Thermo and certain other exchanging lenders providing for the exchange of all the outstanding principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the exchanging lenders’ loans under the 2019 Facility Agreement for shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock. The terms of the Exchange Agreement were reviewed and approved by the Company's Board of Directors and Audit Committee. Thermo's ownership portion in the Series A Preferred Stock is $136.7 million. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, cumulative cash dividends based on the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, at a fixed rate equal to 7.00% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year. During 2023, the Company paid Thermo dividends of $1.2 million for the period November 15, 2022 through December 31, 2022 and $2.4 million for each of the first and second quarters of 2023. Also in connection with the Service Agreements, Partner and Thermo entered into a lock-up and right of first offer agreement that generally (i) requires Thermo to offer any shares of Globalstar common stock to Partner before transferring them to any other Person other than affiliates of Thermo and (ii) prohibits Thermo from transferring shares of Globalstar common stock if such transfer would cause Thermo to hold less than 51.00% of the outstanding common stock of the Company for a period of five years from the launch of Services in November 2022. Amounts payable by the Company in connection with the 2023 Funding Agreement are expected to be guaranteed by Thermo under a guarantee agreement among Thermo, the Company and the Partner. Thermo has agreed to provide support of certain of the Company’s obligations under the 2023 Funding Agreement. Currently this support agreement is directly between Thermo and Partner, and the parties have agreed to replace it with an agreement between Thermo, the Company and the Partner. Entry into this guarantee agreement received shareholder approval in June 2023, and it is expected to be effective during the third quarter of 2023. As consideration for Thermo's guarantee, the Company will issue to Thermo warrants to purchase 10.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of equal to $2.00 (as calculated pursuant to the agreement). 5.0 million of these warrants vest immediately upon effectiveness of Thermo's guarantee, which is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2023, and the remaining 5.0 million warrants vest if and when Thermo advances aggregate funds of $25.0 million or more to the Company or a permitted third party pursuant to the terms of Thermo's guarantee. These warrants expire five years after the date of issuance. See Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements for further discussion of the Company's debt and financing transactions with Thermo.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 19.0 million and 7.6 million shares, respectively, of potential common stock were excluded from diluted shares outstanding because the effects of potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive. Included in these shares as of June 30, 2023 is a portion of the 49.1 million Warrants issued to Partner under the Service Agreements in 2022, which was determined after considering the exercise price of each tranche relative to the average market price during the period. Excluded from the amounts above are warrants expected to be issued to Thermo for its guarantee of the 2023 Funding Agreement totaling 10.0 million; the guarantee is expected to become effective during the third quarter of 2023. As discussed in Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements, the Company's Board of Directors approved the payment of dividends totaling $2.6 million and $5.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, on its Series A Preferred Stock. This amount adjusts the numerator used to calculate loss per share.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Globalstar, Inc. (“Globalstar” or the “Company”) provides Mobile Satellite Services (“MSS”) including voice and data communications and wholesale capacity services through its global satellite network. The Company’s only reportable segment is its MSS business. Thermo Companies, through commonly controlled affiliates, (collectively, “Thermo”) is the principal owner and largest stockholder of Globalstar. The Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board controls Thermo. The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); however, management believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Globalstar Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”). The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 estimates. The Company evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company has made certain reclassifications to prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Globalstar and all its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. In the opinion of management, the information included herein includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2022-04: Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations . ASU 2022-04 added certain disclosure requirements for buyers in supplier finance programs. The amendments in the update require that buyers disclose qualitative and quantitative information about their supplier finance programs. Interim and annual requirements include disclosure of outstanding amounts under the obligations as of the end of the reporting period, and annual requirements include a rollforward of those obligations for the annual reporting period, as well as a description of payment and other key terms of the programs. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted this standard when it became effective on January 1, 2023 and revised its disclosures pursuant to ASU 2022-04.
Derivative Liabilities	The fair value of each embedded derivative is marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period, or more frequently as deemed necessary, with any changes in value reported in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as a non-cash operating activity.
Fair Value Measurements	The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements relating to financial and non-financial assets and liabilities, including presentation of required disclosures herein. This guidance establishes a fair value framework requiring the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets and liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment.

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

(2) In November 2022, the Company issued warrants to Partner (the "Warrants"). The initial fair value of the Warrants at the time of issuance was $48.3 million and recorded in equity with an offset to a contract asset on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Warrants is recorded as a reduction to revenue over the period in which the Company performs its performance obligations through the estimated completion of the contract term, consistent with the period in which the customer benefits from the services provided. (3) During 2021, the Company received payments from Partner totaling $94.2 million (the "2021 Funding Agreement"). In February 2023, the Service Agreements were amended. This amendment, which was effective in April 2023, changed certain terms in the 2021 Funding Agreement, including granting Partner a first lien security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. This amendment resulted in $88.0 million previously recorded as deferred revenue to be re-characterized as debt during the second quarter of 2023. See further discussion in Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements. (4) In connection with the Company recording the fair value of the financial obligations in the amended 2021 Funding Agreement, it recorded a debt discount of $11.6 million, representing the difference between the present value of the future principal payments discounted using the prevailing market rate at the date of issuance of the debt and the effective rate. The offset was recorded to deferred revenue and is being recognized into revenue over the Phase 1 Service Period. (5) In connection with the Company recording the fair value of the financial obligations in the 2023 Funding Agreement (as defined in Note 5: Long-Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements), it recorded a debt discount of $4.5 million, representing the difference between the present value of the future principal payments discounted using the prevailing market rate at the date of issuance of the debt and the effective rate. The offset was recorded to deferred revenue and will be recognized into revenue over the Phase 2 Service Period.
