NextNav Reports Second Quarter 2022 Results

10 August 2022
  • Extends Leadership Position in 3D Geolocation with New Partnerships in Public Safety; Delivers $1.4 Million in Revenue in the Second Quarter
  • US Government Accelerates Efforts Towards Position, Navigation and Timing (“PNT”) Resilience
  • Signed Commercial Agreement with MetCom for Nationwide Expansion of Pinnacle Service in Japan

NextNav (NASDAQ: NN) (“NextNav” or the “Company”), a leader in next generation GPS and 3D geolocation, today reported financial results for NextNav’s second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Ganesh Pattabiraman, NextNav Co-founder and CEO, stated, “The second quarter was another period of continued execution for NextNav. We are seeing growing interest in our technology and services across multiple industry verticals and the government. We delivered revenue of $1.4 million, driven by further adoption of our tech offering across various customers and platforms. Our Pinnacle service is gaining traction, as we signed several strategic partnerships in the public safety arena, including one of the largest public safety software providers in the country. We are also thrilled to have signed a commercial agreement with MetCom for commercial enablement of the Pinnacle service across Japan, as well as continued work to secure commercial approval for TerraPoiNT and the 5MHz of spectrum. Given the strategic nature of the opportunity we also made an investment of $1.1 million in the funding round led by Drone Fund.

“We are also pleased with the increasing activity from the U.S. government to advance initiatives towards PNT resilience. Driving off of Executive Order 13905, which requires all federal procurement to include PNT resilience and the recently released 2021 Federal Radionavigation plan, individual agencies are now beginning to align their procurement activities consistent with the PNT resiliency requirements of these orders. As an example, the FAA is one of the first government agencies to recently update their guidelines to include PNT resilience as part of their procurement process and migrate their services away from using Time & Frequency dependent upon satellite-based systems by 2025. Looking ahead, we expect to be an integral part of the government’s resilient PNT strategy, thereby generating shareholder value over the long term.”

Recent Operational Highlights:

  • NextNav Signs Commercial Agreement with MetCom in Japan: In June 2022, NextNav and MetCom announced a commercial agreement for the nationwide deployment of 3D geolocation services in Japan, starting with the rollout of the Pinnacle vertical location service. Beyond Pinnacle, NextNav is also working with MetCom to enable TerraPoiNT’s resilient back-up GPS service in Japan to further augment these capabilities in the future.

  • GCT Semiconductor Partners with NextNav to Integrate TerraPoiNT in GCT’s LTE Chipset: In June 2022, NextNav announced the successful integration of its TerraPoiNT advanced location technology into GCT's LTE chipset. GCT, a leading designer and supplier of advanced 4G and 5G solutions, will offer resilient 3D GPS equivalent performance into its standard LTE chip, GDM7243i. The chipset flexibly supports a range of frequencies including all of the LTE bands worldwide, including both the 920-928 MHz spectrum owned by NextNav within the US, as well as the 855-860 MHz where NextNav's TerraPoiNT system operates in Japan.

  • NextNav Signs Several New Partnerships in the Public Safety Arena: NextNav recently signed several new partnerships in the public safety arena, including agreements with Geocomm, NGA911, Vitals Aware, RapidDeploy, Vizsafe, CentralSquare Technologies, Valor Systems and VOS Systems. Each agreement leverages NextNav’s Pinnacle vertical location services to provide a more accurate picture of the z-axis location of a company’s workforce, visitors and resources across multi-story buildings.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Financial Highlights:
