PART I
Item 1. Business.
Overview
We are the market leader in delivering resilient, next generation, complementary positioning, navigation and timing (“PNT”) solutions designed to overcome the limitations and vulnerabilities of existing space-based Global Navigation Satellite Systems (“GNSS”), including the Global Positioning System (“GPS”). PNT services are used in nearly every facet of our economy. Cellular and electrical distribution systems depend on GPS-based timing, and the mobile app economy relies on location to create innovative services and to drive data and advertising revenue. Public safety and enhanced 911 (“E911”) save lives every day with the use of location services. GPS has powered the global economy for nearly 40 years. Without high-precision timing from GPS, cellular systems would fail, the distribution of electricity would be impacted, and other aspects of everyday life would be adversely affected. Recent international events have demonstrated that having viable systems to backup and complement GPS is a national security issue.
Our PNT solutions seek to address these needs and issues in several ways. Our technology consists of a ground-based transmitter network operating on low-band spectrum assets in a manner similar to the function of GPS satellites. Unlike satellites, our network signals are designed to be much stronger and extremely difficult to jam or spoof. In addition, because the signals are terrestrial and low-band, they can penetrate buildings. As a result, our technology can act as a complement to satellite-based GPS, especially in urban canyons or deep indoors, and as a backup in case traditional GPS fails due to jamming, spoofing, technical failures, solar flares or other risks to satellite-based services. In addition, our location-based services are three-dimensional. Our core Pinnacle technology uses barometric sensors in smartphones and other communications devices and a network of sensors to determine vertical, or “z-axis”, location. This technology can provide accurate vertical location data to assist first responders, dispatchers and others, or potentially could be used for autonomous systems, such as drones, in need of precise 3D mapping in urban areas, among other uses.
Our complementary PNT solutions are built on our asset base of FCC licenses that cover 12 MHz of low-band spectrum available for use. This spectrum consists of a contiguous 8 MHz block of 900 MHz spectrum covering over 90% of the U.S. population and an additional 4 MHz of complementary spectrum covering part of the U.S. population that was transferred to us in 2025 as a result of a transaction with Telesaurus and Skybridge Spectrum Foundation. That transaction also gave us potential rights to an additional 2 MHz of related spectrum covered by terminated Skybridge Spectrum Foundation licenses. These licenses are subject to a Skybridge and Telesaurus petition for reconsideration seeking reinstatement of these licenses. For more information on this transaction, refer to Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We are evolving our PNT solutions to use 5G New Radio (“5G NR”) positioning reference signals (“PRS”), under the 3GPP global standard, to determine location and timing - a platform we refer to as NextGen. We believe the evolution of our existing technologies and services to a 5G NR PRS capability will improve the efficiency, flexibility, and scale of our operations. 5G NR technologies drive enhanced network performance, capacity, and efficiency across multiple industry verticals. 5G NR enables low-latency, high-throughput connectivity and also improves spectral efficiency, which allows operators to increase returns on investment in licensed spectrum and, with respect to our technology, to improve both the density and availability of PNT signals. 5G NR can also support many different applications, including ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC). These capabilities permit 5G NR to support high-performance broadband services as well as emerging use cases in autonomous systems, industrial automation, and the Internet of Things (IoT). As a result, spectrum that can support 5G technologies and services is important to broadband providers and their customers.
To enable our evolution to 5G NR, we have filed a Petition for Rulemaking (the “Petition”) asking the FCC to optimize the Lower 900 MHz radio spectrum band to enable 5G NR operations, the delivery of PNT via a 5G broadband network and in turn support such 5G technologies and services. Our Petition requests the FCC allow us to use a single, nationwide 15 MHz spectrum configuration for both PNT and 5G broadband. The Petition is subject to an ongoing FCC regulatory review process, and was referenced in the FCC’s March 27, 2025 PNT Notice of Inquiry.
Under our proposal, the FCC would create a 5 MHz uplink and 10 MHz downlink suitable for 5G operations. We believe modernizing the Lower 900 MHz band will simultaneously enable a high-quality terrestrial PNT network to complement and back up GPS, addressing a critical national security vulnerability, and add 5G broadband capacity. As such, our NextGen capability is being designed with the goal of enabling one or more mobile network operators or other partners to integrate this optimized Lower 900 MHz spectrum into their 5G network deployments. We expect that these partnerships would result in wide-scale availability of our complementary PNT services and, for our potential partners, additional 5G broadband capacity.
The backbone of wireless data services, electromagnetic spectrum, is a finite resource. Our spectrum licenses, which lie in the Lower 900 MHz band, are referred to as “low-band spectrum.” There is a finite amount of low-band spectrum available, and low-band spectrum has favorable coverage characteristics compared to higher frequencies, including the ability to provide services indoors and over greater distances. These characteristics result in its ability to be used for coverage and to be deployed more economically, with higher-frequency spectrum often used to provide additional capacity in targeted locations. The transition to 5G NR for our PNT services will provide a technical capability to support broadband data services, which, subject to appropriate regulatory approvals, would allow the spectrum to be used to help meet the continued, growing demand for wireless data capacity.
A core element of our strategy is to pursue such partnerships to offset the costs of deploying and operating a widescale, terrestrial PNT network that can act as a complement and backup to GPS. While GPS is fully supported by the U.S. government, we believe it is unlikely that the U.S. government would subsidize an extensive, standalone terrestrial PNT network and other revenue-generating opportunities are limited, given existing use of GPS. However, we believe there is a financially viable path to a widescale terrestrial PNT network that meets critical national security needs through the spectrum optimization proposed by our Petition that would allow it to be used for 5G.
Our Solutions
As we evolve our technology platform to NextGen and pursue regulatory changes to the Lower 900 MHz band and our spectrum licenses, we continue to deliver high-quality PNT services through our existing solutions. Our location systems have been engineered to provide comprehensive solutions to the limitations and vulnerabilities inherent in GPS and other satellite-based services. Key GPS limitations include:
Low signal strength resulting in poor building/indoor penetration, limitations in urban areas;
Vulnerability to jamming;
Poor vertical accuracy in most devices, which impacts any service where altitude is relevant (e.g., multi-level structures, vertical separation in low-altitude aviation);
The primary consumer GPS signal is unencrypted, resulting in poor location security and spoofing;
Inherent physical vulnerability due to few, isolated transmitters; and
Single point of failure for a wide range of PNT services.
Our existing service platforms consist of Pinnacle, our altitude (z-axis) solution, and TerraPoiNT, which is similar to a terrestrial GPS constellation, in addition to our continued development of NextGen to bring complementary, high-quality PNT capabilities to a standards-based 5G NR broadband platform. Although we currently provide TerraPoiNT services to customers, going forward, we anticipate transitioning to our NextGen solution when it becomes commercially ready, which is intended in part to leverage legacy TerraPoiNT’s technology and service delivery platform and adapt it to 5G.
NextGen
PNT systems are the core services provided by GPS, and NextGen can be thought of as a shared, land-based GPS satellite constellation, operating simultaneously with 5G broadband data services. We expect that NextGen services will be naturally resilient to service disruption and significantly more resistant to jamming than GPS. If GPS is disrupted or destroyed, a NextGen transmitter is designed to continue to operate and provide similar service within the NextGen service area. If one NextGen transmitter is disrupted, service is designed to continue from other nearby transmitters. Thus, there is the potential for both local- and wide-area resilience embedded in the basic system design. Our NextGen services are expected to leverage proven cellular infrastructure, which has been designed to provide wide-scale coverage, and is expected to be able to complement GPS by extending PNT availability to urban canyons and indoor locations where GPS reception is challenging.
We anticipate NextGen will increase our spectrum utilization significantly, allowing us to offer both high-quality PNT services and broadband data using the same spectrum. This increased data transmission capacity could be used, subject to FCC approval, to provide other types of 5G NR-based two-way voice and data transmission services while simultaneously delivering PNT information. Our plans to deploy NextGen with one or more network partners could result in minimal capital expenditures by us related to the operation of our high-quality PNT services, while our partner(s) would benefit from the proven economics of additional broadband capacity.
Pinnacle
As we evolve our technology platform to NextGen and pursue regulatory changes to the Lower 900 MHz band and our spectrum licenses, we continue to deliver high-quality PNT services through our Pinnacle solution. Our Pinnacle solution, launched in partnership with AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T”) as part of its FirstNet ® initiative, can provide accurate altitude service to any device with a barometric pressure sensor and covers over 90% of commercial structures over three stories in the U.S. Our Pinnacle system is primarily used for public safety applications, including E911 for Verizon Communications, Inc. (“Verizon”), and a growing number of devices operating on the remaining national cellular network providers.
This service is currently available in the top 105 major U.S. markets, which include more than 4,400 cities and more than 90% of commercial buildings that exceed three stories. In November 2022, Pinnacle service was launched by MetCom in Japan, and our partnership with MetCom has expanded through a technology and services agreement signed in 2025. The technologies underlying Pinnacle are planned to be incorporated into NextGen.
Because our Pinnacle technology relies on measurements available with the hardware currently used in most mobile phones and tablets, it can be made available for mass market applications, as well as enterprise, public safety, and other applications. Our Pinnacle service is delivered to customers over an applications programming interface (“API”) or via a software development kit (“SDK”) integrated into the relevant applications.
TerraPoiNT
TerraPoiNT is our prior-generation 3D PNT system, operating like a land-based GPS satellite constellation, like our planned NextGen solution. Our TerraPoiNT system is a terrestrially based dedicated, complementary PNT network designed to overcome the limitations inherent in the space-based nature of GPS. Furthermore, the TerraPoiNT signal can embed Pinnacle information to provide a full three-dimensional PNT solution. TerraPoiNT was designed to maximize compatibility with GPS and other GNSS receivers. TerraPoiNT service is made available through a highly distributed terrestrial network of transmitters and is naturally resilient to service disruption and significantly more resistant to jamming than GPS. Through a contract with the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DoT”), we are establishing performance characteristics for TerraPoiNT to allow DoT to incorporate our solutions into a clearinghouse of PNT solutions for potential acquisition by Federal government customers, as defined in the DoT Complementary PNT Action Plan.
Our Strategy
Domestically, we operate primarily as a service provider, leveraging our intellectual property, spectrum assets, and partnerships with key customers. Our target customers include wireless carriers, applications developers, and adjacent businesses selling PNT products and systems to end users, and Federal, state, and local governmental entities. Subject to regulatory approvals and the successful evolution of our technology to align with 5G NR standards, our NextGen platform and spectrum can be used to offer both high-quality PNT and high-bandwidth data capabilities. We deploy sensor and network capabilities, either directly or with our customers and partners, and license access to our technologies and the data generated by our networks to our customers. Internationally, we are pursuing collaborative relationships through licensing our technology and providing related services to enable our partners to commercialize our solutions in their home markets. The key elements of our strategy include:
Continue to build on our leadership in complementary PNT. We anticipate that the expanded availability of our systems, especially NextGen, will provide enhanced value to existing customers and open new vertical markets. In addition to our relationship with FirstNet®, built with AT&T, and our public safety offerings, we are continuing to grow our E911 service, including with Verizon, and have licensed our technology to device manufacturers operating on other nationwide wireless carriers. In addition, we plan to continue to work closely with the DoT and other agencies to drive adoption of our PNT solutions as a national complement to, and backup capabilities for, GPS.
Evolve our system to be fully aligned with 5 G NR standards, to enable a terrestrial PNT platform that evolves with global mobile network standards. Evolving the technical foundation of our system to 5G NR will allow us to provide high-quality PNT services in conjunction with 5G broadband services. We anticipate that this may allow us to significantly increase the scope of potential customers and partners, reduce our time to market, improve the geographic coverage of our business, and align our operations with the mainstream global cellular ecosystem. Collectively, we anticipate these benefits will increase the potential reach of our services. Our objective is to operate our NextGen PNT services in partnership with one or more broadband partners, assuming we are successful with the Petition.
Pursue our Petition with the FCC to optimize rules governing the Lower 900 MHz band . It is a priority of the Company to secure appropriate regulatory approvals to maximize the use of our spectrum and enable the delivery of a widescale complementary 5G-based PNT solution. We are engaged with the FCC, stakeholders in the Lower 900 MHz band, and other stakeholders in the industry in seeking to ensure the availability of wide-scale complementary PNT services.
Pursue partnerships to use the 5G broadband capacity. As discussed, if our Petition is granted, we will seek to enter into partnerships with mobile operators and others who could take advantage of the newly-available 5G capacity. Such partnerships would facilitate our deployment of a widescale PNT network and backup to GPS.
Competition and Competitive Advantages
GPS and GNSS services are broadly used across a large number of both industries and specific use cases, however, multiple technologies provide, or are planned to provide, services to complement and backup GPS. Depending upon the specific use case, we both compete with and complement other geolocation services, as part of the “system of systems” required to provide a comprehensive solution to this market. Key technologies participating in this segment include enhanced long-range navigation (“eLORAN”), low Earth orbit (“LEO”) satellite systems, the Broadcast Positioning System (“BPS”) and various short-range commercial systems.
eLORAN is an advanced version of the World War II-era hyperbolic radio navigation system that was developed in response to the vulnerability of GNSS systems. eLORAN has historically been targeted towards maritime and aviation applications. If deployed, eLORAN may also be well-suited to long-range time distribution.
LEO Satellite Systems offer primarily timing service based on signals transmitted from LEO satellite constellations. LEO systems potentially offer global coverage. However, for use cases requiring terrestrial signal strength, their signals are not as strong as those from terrestrial-based systems. LEO systems are subject to similar physical vulnerabilities as GPS.
Commercial Location Systems, including legacy cellular systems, crowd-sourced systems and locally managed systems, are complements to GPS but generally rely on GPS or highly local surveys for their core performance. Most commercial location systems do not provide an independent timing source and are limited in their ability to be a viable backup to GPS.
BPS , based on the Advanced Television Systems Committee standard and promoted by National Association of Broadcasters, aims to deliver terrestrial PNT service independent of GPS and is under development at the pilot stage. BPS signals will be transmitted from the broadcast infrastructure using ATSC 3.0.
Subject to appropriate regulatory approvals, we believe that our NextGen solution offers a near-term terrestrial, widescale PNT solution that will be broadly available to critical infrastructure, public safety, and consumers, and has a clear path to incorporation in end-user devices. We believe our NextGen capability, subject to FCC approvals, will have a shorter time to market as a complement and backup to GPS than other solutions. In addition, because our NextGen solution leverages 5G networks, we anticipate the capital expenditures associated with the network deployment will be associated with our future 5G partnerships, and we do not plan to seek Federal appropriations for the deployment of our NextGen system. While no single solution can complement and backup all GPS use cases, we believe that we offer an important component to securing the nation’s PNT infrastructure.
Network Operations
Our Pinnacle network is primarily operated in partnership with AT&T. The Pinnacle altitude stations are co-located at AT&T wireless sites and use the power systems, including battery backup and generators, at the AT&T sites. We monitor the Pinnacle network health through our network operations center (“NOC”) and work with AT&T to resolve any issues that may arise. Connectivity among the Pinnacle altitude stations, our cloud service platform, and our NOC are enabled through wireless connections, currently provided by AT&T.
We are not required to use AT&T wireless sites for network expansion and may establish new service areas through independently acquired site leases or with other partners.
Our TerraPoiNT network is deployed, operated, and maintained by us. The equipment is installed at traditional wireless sites with a mix of towers and rooftops. We monitor the network health through the same NOC as the Pinnacle network and directly dispatch our employees or maintenance contractors if needed.
As discussed, we anticipate operating our NextGen services in partnership with one or more mobile network operators. We anticipate that the radio network infrastructure will be deployed by, and the broadband services operated by those operators. We plan to utilize one or more partners’ network facilities to operate our PNT services, the signal for which will be embedded in the 5G NR broadband transmission.
AT&T Relationship
We have entered into a series of agreements with AT&T to provide our Pinnacle services to FirstNet ® , built with AT&T, and to enable the co-location of elements of our network at AT&T’s wireless sites. By co-locating the Pinnacle equipment at AT&T wireless sites, we were able to accelerate the nationwide deployment of our services and significantly reduce the ongoing operating costs associated with the Pinnacle system.
Our AT&T agreements provide for: (i) AT&T’s marketing and resale of Pinnacle services to FirstNet ® subscribers and certain pricing requirements for our SDKs based on the quantity of usage, revenue sharing, compliance with data rights and privacy, and support requirements; and (ii) AT&T hosting of Pinnacle equipment for altitude determination at AT&T sites, at no recurring cost to us.
We have provided AT&T with performance assurances and certain intellectual property and transition support rights in the event we are unable to continue providing services to AT&T, have significant service outages, or engage in transactions with certain persons. The parties also entered into escrow arrangements on customary terms for intellectual property storage and verification of the deposited escrow materials in various different escrow “lockers,” which could be accessed by AT&T based on different conditions on which the draw down could be made.
In 2019, we entered into an equipment hosting agreement with AT&T that has a seven-year term (subject to earlier termination after three years in certain circumstances), expiring in October 2028. Under the terms of the equipment hosting agreement, AT&T is providing all site-related services during AT&T’s continued use of the service. Our services agreement with AT&T for distribution of our services to FirstNet ® customers expires in October 2028.
Intellectual Property
Our ability to drive innovation in PNT services depends in part upon our ability to protect our core technologies and intellectual property. We rely upon a combination of patent, trademark, and trade secret laws in the United States and abroad, as well as license agreements and other contractual protections. In addition, we seek to protect our intellectual property rights through nondisclosure and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and through non-disclosure agreements with business partners and other third parties.
We regularly file applications for patents and have a significant number of patents in the United States and other countries where we do business.
As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 167 issued patents domestically and internationally, which includes approximately 141 issued patents in the U.S. In addition, we had approximately 49 pending patent applications, which includes approximately 27 pending patent applications in the U.S.
Research and Development
The services that we provide are largely based on designs and technologies developed by us for our use, some of which we subsequently standardized. We believe our ability to maintain and extend our market share depends, in part, on our continuous innovations. Our research and development team consists of more than 65 employees, who are responsible for the development of our PNT solutions, including pioneers in location-based services. Our primary areas of focus in research and development include, but are not limited to:
Radiolocation position and navigation technologies;
Precision timing and time distribution;
4G/5G positioning and timing systems;.
5G RAN and core architecture;
E911 service delivery;
Altitude determination, including barometric altitude determination; and
Location verification techniques, including techniques to mitigate spoofing.
Human Capital
We pride ourselves on the quality of our world-class team and seek to hire employees dedicated to our strategic mission. Our employees typically have significant experience working with location systems. As of December 31, 2025 , we employed 103 full-time employees, the majority in our headquarters in Reston, Virginia an d in our facility in Santa Clara, California. Over 65 of our employees are engaged in research and development and related functions, and more than half of these employees hold advanced engineering and scientific degrees, including many from the world’s top universities.
To date, we have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relationship with our employees to be good. None of our employees are either represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
Facilities
We maintain a distributed workforce with facilities in Reston, Virginia, Santa Clara, California, Puteaux, France, Noida, India and Bangalore, India. Our principle executive office is in Reston, Virginia. Our corporate offices in Virginia include executive, finance, legal and regulatory functions, while our California facility hosts our operations and technology development, among other functions. Our French and Indian locations are focused on software development and research and development functions. We may add additional facilities in other locations in the future.
Regulatory
There are government regulations pertaining to our operation, use, and export of our vertical location and PNT solutions, some of which are currently applicable to us and others that will become applicable to us as we expand our operations. As we expand service to additional countries and regions, we will become subject to additional governmental approvals and regulations.
Radio Spectrum
Certain of our services rely on the use of radio communications spectrum, which is regulated in the United States and in most other countries. In the United States, spectrum access is licensed and regulated by the FCC. We hold radio licenses issued by the FCC that authorize the use of 8 MHz of contiguous spectrum in the 900 MHz band covering more than 90% of the population in the United States, and an additional 4 MHz of M-LMS licenses in parts of the United States. These licenses and the FCC rules impose obligations on us regarding the use of this spectrum, including power and operational limits, coexistence, build-out, and usage requirements, and a license renewal obligation. We must comply with these requirements to retain access and use of these spectrum resources.
On April 16, 2024, we filed a Petition for Rulemaking with the FCC, seeking to significantly accelerate and expand the availability of our PNT services as a complement and backup to GPS through an optimization of the Lower 900 MHz band. The Petition is subject to an ongoing FCC regulatory review process, and was referenced in the FCC’s March 27, 2025 PNT Notice of Inquiry.
Privacy and Data Security
In developing highly accurate location information, we collect, process, transmit and store personal information, such as certain individual geolocation information, and other personal information relating to its business contacts, personnel, end users, and website visitors. A variety of federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of this information. The U.S. privacy and data protection legal landscape continues to evolve, with California and Virginia having enacted broad-based data privacy and protection legislation and with states and the federal government continuing to consider additional data privacy and protection legislation. As we expand overseas, our joint venture partners will be subject to foreign data privacy and protection legislation, and we may be as well.
We understand that protection of data and privacy is critically important to the end-users of our services. Our core privacy principles are:
Transparency: We are transparent about our data practices, and we comply with our privacy policies and agreements so customers and business partners can make informed decisions.
Control: We have implemented appropriate means for our customers and business partners to control relevant personal and business information.
Security: We endeavor to protect the data entrusted to us by using strong security protocols. NextNav maintains a cybersecurity team, responsible for threat monitoring, protection of internal and customer-facing systems and third-party compliance testing of NextNav’s cyber security controls.
Compliance: We respect and comply with local privacy laws, ensuring that privacy-by-design is a core consideration as we develop our products and services.
Consent: We require appropriate opt-in consent for the provision of all of our services, consistent with the requirements of local law.
We have implemented multilayered administrative, physical, and technical security measures to protect data. Data access is implemented with the rule of “least privilege,” and we isolate data by service, business function and customer agreement. Our data is encrypted both at rest (locally on the device and on the server) and in transit.
Export
Our business plans are based in part on the distribution of its services worldwide. We are required to comply with U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security and the foreign asset control regulations administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. Pursuant to these foreign trade control laws and regulations, we are required, among other things, to (i) determine the proper licensing jurisdiction and export classification of products, software, and technology, (ii) obtain licenses or other forms of U.S. government authorization, or qualify for exceptions, to export our products, software, and technology outside the United States, and (iii) avoid engaging in unauthorized transactions with certain sanctioned countries, territories, entities, and individuals. Violations of applicable export control and sanctions laws and related regulations, which are enforced on a strict liability basis, could result in criminal and administrative penalties, including fines and possible denial of export privileges. U.S. export licenses or license exceptions are required to transfer or make accessible certain of our software source code and technology to our non-U.S. employees. In addition, U.S. export control laws and related licensing policies continue to change, further regulating the export and re-export of our products, services, and technology from the United States and abroad, and increasing our costs and the time necessary to obtain required authorization.
See the section entitled “ Risk Factors — Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters ” for additional information regarding the regulatory requirements applicable to us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our financial position, results of operations, liquidity, business and prospects are subject to various risks, many of which are not within our control, that could cause actual performance to differ materially from historical or projected future performance. You should consider carefully the risk factors described below in evaluating the information contained in this report as the occurrence of one or more of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Risks Related to the Business and the Industry
We have incurred significant losses since inception. We expect to incur losses in the future, may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability, and may need to raise additional capital to maintain our operations in the future.
We have incurred significant losses since inception. For the years ended December 31, 2025 , 2024 and 2023 , we incurred net losses of $ 189.3 million, $ 101.9 million and $71.7 million, respectively. We do not expect to be profitable or cash flow positive in the near future. Furthermore, any expansion of our services, including the deployment of our NextGen technology, will result in increased operating costs. As a result, our losses are expected to continue, and we may not achieve profitability as anticipated, or at all.
We expect our operating expenses to increase over the next several years as we scale our operations and increase research and development efforts relating to new offerings and technologies. These efforts may be more costly than we expect and may not result in meaningful revenue or growth in our business. Any failure to increase our revenue sufficiently to keep pace with our investments and other expenses could prevent us from achieving or maintaining profitability or positive cash flow. If our future growth and operating performance fail to meet investor or analyst expectations, or if we have future negative cash flow or losses resulting from expanding our operations, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025 will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs, including all contractual commitments, beyond the next 12 months from the date of filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We expect to meet longer term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operations and issuance of equity or debt securities. However, this expectation is based upon internal financial projections of operating cash flows and is subject to changes in market and business conditions. Our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, will depend on, among other things, our financial performance and credit ratings, general economic factors, including inflation and prevailing interest rates, the condition of the credit and capital markets and other events, some of which may be beyond our control. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, or at all, our business, financial conditions, and results of operations will be materially impacted. If we raise capital through the sale of equity or debt securities, our current investors may be materially diluted.
The developing nature of our technology and product services makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter.
We have been focused on developing the next generation of complementary and backup PNT services and in order for us to be profitable, our services require substantial adoption across disparate industries and may further depend on the deployment of our NextGen technology. Our existing services have been adopted for E911 and public safety customers, but we have not achieved broad adoption across all industries that may be necessary to achieve significant revenue growth or profitability. Risks and challenges we have faced or expect to face in connection with commercially marketing our services include our ability to:
forecast our revenue and budget for and manage our expenses;
attract new customers and retain existing customers;
effectively manage our growth and business operations, including planning for and managing capital expenditures for our current and future infrastructure, and managing our supply chain and supplier relationships related to our services;
effectively manage our spending on sales and marketing in order to address a disparate set of industries;
comply with existing and new or modified laws and regulations applicable to our business;
anticipate and respond to macroeconomic changes and changes in the markets in which we operate;
secure the FCC rule changes needed to support the deployment of 5G-compatible PNT technologies;
maintain and enhance the value of our reputation and brand;
develop and protect intellectual property; and
hire and retain talented people at all levels of our organization.
There is ongoing volatility in the financial and capital markets. If our access to capital is restricted or associated borrowing costs increase as a result of developments in financial markets, our operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.
If we fail to address the risks and difficulties that we face, including those associated with the challenges listed above as well as those described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Further, because we operate in a rapidly evolving market, any predictions about our future revenue, expenses and potential profitability may not be as accurate as they would be if we operated in a more developed market. Forecasting the revenue potential of our services is made more difficult by the fact that legacy location technologies, such as GPS, were developed by the U.S. Federal Government and made available to commercial users without charge. As a result, one of the adoption hurdles that must be overcome is convincing enterprise customers that the additional accuracy and security made available by our services justifies paying for them. We have encountered in the past, and we will encounter in the future, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies with limited operating histories in rapidly changing industries. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are or change, or if we do not address these risks , our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and affected.
The indenture governing our 5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due in 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) contains restrictions and other provisions regarding events of default that may make it more difficult to execute our strategy or to effectively compete, or that could materially and adversely affect our financial position.
Subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, the indenture governing the 2028 Notes (the “2028 Indenture”) restricts our ability to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, other than certain forms of permitted debt, (ii) issue any preferred equity interests, (iii) create or permit to exist any lien on any property, other than certain limited forms of permitted encumbrances, (iv) merge, amalgamate, consolidate or sell all or substantially all assets, (v) make or hold any investment, other than certain forms of permitted investments, (vi) consummate certain asset sales, (vii) pay any dividend or other distribution with respect to any of our capital stock, (viii) make any payment (whether in cash, securities or other property), including any sinking fund or similar deposit, on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement, acquisition, cancellation or termination of any of our capital stock or any option, warrant or other right to acquire any such capital stock, (ix) dispose or transfer intellectual property that is material to our business or (x) effect any transaction that would result in an adjustment to the conversion price of the 2028 Notes to an amount less than $2.05 per share of common stock. These restrictions, and others set forth in the 2028 Indenture as discussed below, may make it difficult to execute our business strategy or effectively compete with others that are not similarly restricted.
The 2028 Indenture also provides that a number of events will constitute an event of default, including, among other things, (i) a failure to pay interest or any other amount due on the 2028 Notes, (ii) a failure to pay the principal of the 2028 Notes when due at maturity, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, (iii) a failure to comply with our obligations to convert the 2028 Notes in accordance with the 2028 Indenture upon exercise of a holder’s conversion right within five business days, (iv) any breach of our covenants with respect to consummating restricted consolidations, mergers, or other sale transactions, (v) the failure to comply with any of our other agreements contained in the 2028 Indenture or the 2028 Notes (vi) a failure by us to pay final legal, arbitral or other judgments aggregating $1 million or more, and (vii) certain events of liquidation, reorganization, bankruptcy or insolvency.
If an event of default occurs and is continuing, additional interest will accrue on the 2028 Notes at a rate of 2% per annum of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes outstanding as of the occurrence of the event of default. We will also be required to pay additional interest of up to 0.50% per annum if (x) we fail to timely make certain required filings with the SEC, until such filings are made, or (y) the 2028 Notes are not otherwise freely tradeable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If we fail to pay interest on the 2028 Notes for 30 days or the principal of the 2028 Notes when due, the trustee has the right to declare all the 2028 Notes to be due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, all outstanding 2028 Notes will become due and payable immediately. Any such events of default or other acceleration of, or any increase in the amounts otherwise payable on, our debt could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, particularly if we are unable to negotiate mutually acceptable terms with the holders of the 2028 Notes or if alternate funding is not available to us. Furthermore, if we are to repay the 2028 Notes upon an acceleration or otherwise, we could be into or .
In the event of certain non-ordinary course asset sales, including sales of certain intellectual property or spectrum licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to us or our subsidiaries, we must make a mandatory repurchase offer for a portion of the 2028 Notes outstanding with the proceeds of such sale, at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes subject to such repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of the repurchase, subject to certain thresholds and limitations set forth in the 2028 Indenture.
In addition, in the event of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2028 Indenture), each holder has the right, at such holder’s option and subject to the limitations set forth in the 2028 Indenture, to require us to repurchase for cash all of such holder’s 2028 Notes in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the then outstanding principal amount of 2028 Notes held, plus all accrued and unpaid interest to such date and (ii) the consideration each holder of 2028 Notes would have received if such holder had converted the 2028 Notes into our common stock immediately prior to such Fundamental Change.
Our ability to sell Pinnacle z-axis service may be limited and depends on third-party adoption and market demand.
We do not sell our Pinnacle z-axis solutions directly to end users. Instead, we provide location technology that integrates with devices and applications that are created or distributed by third parties. Accordingly, our future growth significantly depends on third parties choosing to incorporate our technology into smartphone devices, applications and other new device types and markets that utilize location. We also depend on our customers, resellers and licensees to develop products and services with value-added features to drive sales and demand. Because GPS has been viewed in the marketplace as a reliable geolocation service provided for free to end users, our customers may not see a business need to integrate our solutions into our devices and applications. Despite efforts to educate customers about the need for z-axis geolocation services, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful and as a result, a market for our solutions may not be created or result in meaningful revenue.
The majority of our business plan depends on selling services that must be licensed and integrated into our customers’ platforms for sales to end users, and we typically only generate revenue from the arrangements when end users access those third-party platforms and utilize our services.
Our business plans are dependent in part on the sale of location services to our customers, which are third-party developers who use our services to create applications for use in mobile devices, on vehicles and in other platforms. For these types of contracts, we recognize revenue when end users access and use our customers’ applications. As a result, our business plans are also dependent in part on the success of our customers in selling their own products and services to end users. Contracts of this type do not contain purchase commitments and our limited operating history makes estimating the future variable volume and revenue associated with these contracts difficult. If our customers take longer than expected to integrate our services into their applications or are unable to sell their applications in the volumes or timeframes we expect, then the use of our services by end users and the related recognition of revenue could be delayed or may never occur.
We may not be successful in the evolution of our operations to utilize 5G NR signals, which will increase our costs and may increase the challenge of adopting our services, and the time it takes us to evolve our service may differ from our estimates.
We are currently evolving our core technology from one reliant on a transmission that was designed to be technically compatible with GPS and GNSS receivers to one that is being designed to be technically compatible with the 5G NR ecosystem. This carries risks related to the technical performance of this transmission and the availability of equipment in the 5G NR ecosystem compatible with our spectrum and operations. If the technical performance of the 5G NR transmission is not similar to the technical performance of our legacy technologies, then the market for our services may be diminished. We must also secure approval from the FCC for this modified use of our licensed spectrum. We have submitted a petition to the FCC seeking this authority, which has been opposed by certain other users in the lower 900 MHz band. The petition remains pending before the FCC. Further, while we intend our signal to be compatible with the 5G NR ecosystem, we may not be successful at integrating our service into commercial 5G NR transmitters, core network, receivers or other system components, which would significantly reduce the market for our services.
If there are significant delays in our evolution to 5G NR-compatible technologies, including technology, ecosystem, standardization or other delays, our ability to offer our services to customers including the U.S. Federal Government and commercial entities will be impacted. If any or all such delays occur, our business may be harmed.
Our NextGen business strategy is dependent on entering into partnerships with third-party wireless operators; failure to secure these partnerships could prevent us from deploying our 5G services.
Our NextGen technology plans are largely dependent upon our ability to enter into strategic partnerships with wireless operators to utilize our spectrum licenses for 5G broadband services in the manner set forth in our petition before the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"). The process of negotiating and securing these partnerships is complex, time-consuming, and subject to factors beyond our control, including the strategic priorities of potential partners, competitive bidding for spectrum usage, and general economic conditions.
Even if we are successful with our FCC petition, there is no guarantee that wireless operators will be willing to partner with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unsuccessful in entering into such partnerships, we may be unable to deploy or operate our 5G PNT services. Furthermore, any inability to execute these partnerships could significantly diminish the value of our spectrum assets and impair our ability to generate revenue or achieve profitability. Any failure or significant delay in establishing these relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and the long-term viability of our NextGen service.
We face intense competition in our market, especially from competitors that offer their location services for free, which could make it difficult for us to acquire and retain customers and end users.
The market for development, distribution and sale of location services is highly competitive. Many of our competitors have strong name recognition, sizable customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, public relations, sales, distribution and other resources than we do. These competitors often offer competing services for free and have the financial capabilities to continue to improve upon their location services offering without charging a fee. Certain of our competitors are already vying for market share in the 3D location space through their participation in a federal regulatory proceeding involving the FCC in which wireless carriers are being required to enter into relationships with 3D location vendors in order to enable accurate 3D location information to be conveyed to E911 emergency dispatchers with each wireless call made to E911 emergency services. Although we believe our services currently offer an improved functionality over the services offered for free, there is no certainty that we will be able to achieve broad market appeal for our 3D location services. In addition, there is no guarantee that our services will be as reliable and with the same geographic coverage as the currently available geolocation services, which may impact our ability to attract new or retain existing customers to utilize our products over the free services offered by our competitors. The performance of our services may vary based on ambient conditions, both physical and environmental, which may impact the timing and location accuracy of the system. If our services are not meaningfully to those available at lower or no cost, we may have selling our services, widespread adoption of our services and our business, financial position and results of operations may be .
We face competition from multiple sources.
Our services compete against: (i) other satellite and terrestrial based location technology offerings, such as GPS, Observed Time Difference of Arrival and terrestrial beacons; (ii) other providers of Wi-Fi and cell-based positioning, such as Google, Apple and Polaris; (iii) venue-based solutions such as Bluetooth Low Energy; and (iv) other proprietary location solutions. In the smartphone location provider market, because Apple and Google control a large percentage of the market share for smartphone operating systems, already provide their services on a nationwide basis, and offer location provider services free as part of the iOS and Android markets, we are constrained in the distribution and monetization of our services in that market. As noted above, those vendors that secure access to wireless handsets for their 3D location services may be able to leverage a significant competitive advantage over other location service vendors. There are also a number of new location technologies in development that may further increase competition to support location capabilities in various wireless devices (such as Internet of Things) and which may require us to meet more stringent accuracy standards.
Certain of our competitors are substantially larger than us and have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources. Thus, many of these large enterprises are in a better position to withstand any significant reduction in spending by customers in its markets, and often have broader product lines and market focus, have greater brand recognition and may not be as susceptible to downturns in a single market. These competitors may also be able to bundle their products together (such as with mapping software) to meet the needs of a particular customer, may be able to respond more rapidly to new or emerging technologies or changes in customer requirements and may be capable of delivering more complete solutions than we are able to provide. If large enterprises that currently do not compete directly with us choose to enter our markets by acquisition or otherwise, competition for both revenue and data would likely intensify. In addition, the growth of new location technologies currently in development may further increase competition to provide these new technologies. If we are not able to compete for customers, our financial position may be materially affected.
Our Pinnacle network infrastructure is dependent on a hosting arrangement with AT&T.
We entered into an equipment hosting agreement with AT&T, expiring in October 2028 (subject to earlier termination after three years in certain circumstances), and there is no assurance that the agreement will be renewed. This AT&T agreement provides for such important capabilities as the hosting of our Pinnacle network at AT&T’s wireless sites, the provision of power to the Pinnacle network equipment and AT&T data service to enable the Pinnacle network equipment to communicate with us. We have no contractual right to require AT&T to continue its relationship with us beyond the existing term of the equipment hosting agreement and AT&T may elect not to renew our contracts or we and AT&T may not be able to come to an agreement on renewal or extension terms at or before the end of agreement term. If we cannot secure a renewal or extension of the equipment hosting agreement, we may have to construct a new Pinnacle network prior to expiration of the equipment hosting agreement. Constructing a new network would require significant time and resources that we may not be able to secure. In addition, if there is a delay in our ability to build a new network, our Pinnacle services may experience lengthy disruptions and . If we are to maintain our relationship with AT&T, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be . Our ability to transmit data is dependent on AT&T’s wireless data network and on the associated power supply available within that network. We have experienced temporary and geographically limited service due to issues with the AT&T wireless data network and our forecasted value from the Pinnacle network and the other benefits of the AT&T agreement may be by any similar future service or other .
We rely, in part, on AT&T for distribution of our services to FirstNet ® customers.
We entered into a services agreement with AT&T that was to expire in October 2022, with no renewal terms. Thereafter, we amended the agreement by extending it until January 7, 2024 and October 24, 2025, and the agreement has been further extended to October 24, 2028. This AT&T agreement, as amended, continues our relationship in which AT&T purchases, markets and sells our services to its FirstNet ® subscribers. We have no contractual right to require AT&T to continue its relationship with us, and AT&T may decide not to renew our services contract prior to the end of the extended term. If we are not able to secure a further renewal or extension of our services agreement with AT&T, our ability to sell or market products to FirstNet ® and other public safety customers may be impacted, and our business, financial and results of operations may be materially and adversely harmed.
Our services may not continue to be adopted or retained by wireless carriers and device vendors for E911.
We have expended significant resources developing, testing and licensing software and solutions targeted towards E911 services, the primary customers for which are wireless carriers. While we are currently providing service to Verizon, and provide services to devices operating on other carriers’ networks as customers for E911 services, our ability to retain these customers or sell our z-axis service to additional wireless carriers or device vendors for E911 in our coverage area depends upon the continued willingness of these carriers and device vendors to use our service to comply with FCC mandates. If carriers prefer competing solutions, or if our service is not able to meet future performance, geographic or other customer requirements, then the market for our services for E911 may be reduced.
Our ability to offer our service for E911 is also influenced by the willingness of wireless device manufacturers to incorporate our software or services into their device platforms. Apple and Google exert significant market power over services on their respective platforms, and there is no assurance that they will approve or adopt our software or services in connection with their respective platforms. If Apple and/or Google do not provide such approval, there could be a material adverse impact to our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Pinnacle service in smartphones relies on the availability of barometric pressure measurements and 2D location being made available to us or our customers.
In order for our customers to be able to utilize our Pinnacle service in smartphones, we and our customers must have access to barometric pressure measurements and 2D location information, both of which are made available by APIs provided by Google, Apple and other device/OS vendors. If either Google or Apple or others meaningfully change their terms of service related to the use of this measurement and location data, choose not to provide this data to us or our customers, or choose not to incorporate location sensors in their devices, our ability to offer our Pinnacle service to our customers on these platforms will likely be impacted and affect our revenues.
Our inability to maintain access to third-party platforms, such as mobile application stores, could significantly impair our service distribution and revenue.
Our customers market and distribute our products (including related mobile applications) through a variety of third-party distribution channels. Our ability to achieve broad market reach depends in part on the ability of our distribution partners and customers to use mobile application stores, such as the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Both Apple and Google have broad discretion to change their policies regarding their mobile operating systems and app stores in ways that may limit, eliminate or otherwise interfere with our customers’ ability to distribute or market their applications through such stores. To the extent our customers are unable to maintain a productive relationship with either or both of them, our relationships with these customers may be impacted and our ability to achieve broad market reach will be impacted and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We rely upon Amazon Web Services to operate our cloud platform and any disruption of or interference with our use of Amazon Web Services or the need for additional cloud support would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We host our applications in Amazon Web Services’ (“AWS”) cloud infrastructure. Customers of our products need to be able to access our platform at any time, without interruption or degradation of performance. AWS runs its own platform that we access, and we are, therefore, vulnerable to service interruptions at AWS. We have experienced and we expect that in the future we may experience interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from time to time due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions and capacity constraints. Capacity constraints could be due to a number of potential causes including technical failures, natural disasters, fraud or security attacks. In addition, if our security, or that of AWS, is compromised, our products or platform are or our users are to use our products within a reasonable amount of time or at all, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be affected. In some instances, we may not be to identify the cause or causes of these performance within a period of time acceptable to our customers. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints and cost considerations, either through AWS or alternative cloud infrastructure, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be affected. In addition, any changes in service levels from AWS may affect our ability to meet our customers’ requirements. Further, our customers may require it to support additional cloud platforms beyond AWS, which would result in additional costs to our business.
Any of the above circumstances or events may harm our reputation, possibly move customers to stop using our products, impair our ability to increase revenue from existing customers, effectively manage costs, impair our ability to grow our customer base, subject us to financial penalties and liabilities under our service level agreements and otherwise harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We rely on a limited number of key vendors for timely supply of components or services for our service offerings. If these vendors experience problems, we could fail to obtain the equipment and services we require to operate our business successfully.
The components required for our services and development are not available in high volume and are produced by a small number of vendors. We also depend on certain third-party services, in addition to those described elsewhere, for the provision of our services. If we are unable to procure these components or services or design or obtain effective alternatives, we may be unable to provide services to our customers, or develop our technology. In the event it becomes necessary to seek alternative vendors, we may be unable to obtain satisfactory replacement vendors on economically attractive terms on a timely basis, or at all, which could increase costs and may negatively impact our ability to expand our service offering or cause disruption in service.
If vendors of our equipment or providers of services on which we rely experience financial difficulties, service or billing interruptions, patent litigation or other problems or consolidate with larger entities, our growth and operating results could be negatively impacted. In addition, and without limiting the other risk factors specified herein relating to geopolitical and similar uncertainties, increases in tariffs or similar governmental authority actions may severely disrupt our supply chain and further degrade our ability to continue our existing, or find alternative, relationships with key component suppliers in a manner that materially harms our business.
Our services are available within defined network footprints, and if we are not able to deploy new infrastructure, we will not be able to expand our service area.
Our services are available within defined network footprints. Unlike certain of our competitors that do not require the deployment of network infrastructure to provide location services, we are not able to sell our services outside of these footprints where our customers may require services. In order to expand our footprint, we would need to invest significant time and financial resources to build-out additional infrastructure and there is no certainty that even if we were to be able to secure the financial resources to do so, that we would be able to expand our footprint successfully. In addition, as discussed in a subsequent section, certain of our services, such as our TerraPoiNT service, depend on access to radio spectrum. Although we hold FCC spectrum licenses covering over 90% of the U.S. population, we do not currently have access to licensed radio spectrum in every location in the United States. If we are not able to deploy new infrastructure, we will not be able to expand our service area, customers that require service outside of our footprints may choose other service providers, or may combine our service with other offerings, which may impact the value of our business.
There is no guarantee that Federal and state government resilient PNT programs or our current commercial opportunities will result in procurements or in the adoption of our services or revenue to us, and the process that may result in such adoption or revenue may be delayed.
We have expended significant resources to successfully market our resilient PNT services to U.S. Federal and state governments, or commercial customers. While the U.S. Congress has allocated financial resources for the purchase of resilient PNT systems, and Executive Order 13905 requires Federal agencies to consider resiliency requirements when procuring PNT systems, there is no guarantee that our resilient PNT system will be purchased by any Federal or state government entities. Further, government procurement cycles can be extended pending Congressional, regulatory, procurement process or other actions, and any market for our services that emerges in this sector may not generate revenue for an extended period of time, if at all.
There is no guarantee that our PNT services will be widely adopted. Key manufacturers of devices and chipsets may be unwilling to integrate processing capabilities and required components into their devices. Further, even if we are able to secure agreements with these leading manufacturers, the terms under which such integrations may occur may not be favorable to us. Further, there is no certainty that one of our competitors will not develop and commercialize a different solution in the meantime. In addition, our ability to sell our services may be impacted by political or technological preferences. If we are unable to sell our PNT services commercially, to additional government users, or to an international market, our financial results will be materially adversely impacted.
Our business depends on the use of location by a wide range of applications, including public safety and E911 applications. Privacy concerns relating to location data, generally, and our technology could damage our reputation and deter current and potential users from using our products and applications.
Our business depends on the use of location by a wide range of applications, including public safety and E911 and which may include mobile marketing applications in the future. User perception about the sharing of location data and concerns, more broadly, about the collection of location data, or about our specific practices or the mobile applications that use our location services with regard to the collection, use, disclosure, or security of location information or other privacy related matters, even if unfounded, could damage our reputation and operating results, and could result in default and/or termination of agreements we have with various counterparties.
Natural or man-made disasters or terrorist attacks could have an adverse effect on our business.
Our services are built on a terrestrial-based technical infrastructure, which is vulnerable to damage or interruption from technology failures, power surges or outages, natural disasters(such as landslides, tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes and floods), fires, human error, terrorism, war, civil unrest, acts of god, pandemics, epidemics, intentional wrongdoing, cyber-security incidents, power losses, telecommunications failures or similar events. As a geolocation services provider, there is an increased risk that our technological infrastructure may be targeted in connection with terrorism or cyberattacks, either as a primary target, or as a means of facilitating additional attacks on other targets.
We are increasingly dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure to operate our business, so any such or similar events could materially disrupt our business operations or our provision of service in one or more markets. Costs we incur to restore, repair or replace our network or technical infrastructure, as well as costs associated with detecting, monitoring or reducing the incidence of unauthorized use, may be substantial and increase our cost of providing service. In addition, any of the aforementioned risks or events may be augmented if our business continuity and disaster recovery plans, or those of our supply chain, prove to be inadequate. If any of the above or similar events were to occur, we could experience an adverse impact to our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Additionally, if applicable to any such events, our insurance may not be adequate to cover the costs associated. We also rely on third-party providers for certain of our infrastructure, any of which could also be subject to any such events, which could also have an adverse effect on our business.
Significant disruptions of our information technology systems or data security incidents, or the perceived failure to adequately protect personal information or other confidential or proprietary data, could trigger contractual and legal obligations, harm our reputation, subject us to liability, cause us to modify our business practices and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure to operate our business. We also rely on third parties to operate our business, whether because we have outsourced certain elements of our operations (including elements of our information technology infrastructure) to third parties, or may have incorporated third-party technology into our platform, or rely on third parties to incorporate our products and services into their offerings. As a result, a number of third parties may or could have access to our information technology systems (including our computer networks) or to our confidential information. In addition, many of those third parties in turn subcontract or outsource some of their responsibilities to third parties. As a result, our information technology systems, including the functions of third parties that are involved or have access to those systems, is large and complex. While all information technology operations are inherently vulnerable to inadvertent or intentional security breaches, incidents, attacks and exposures, the size, complexity, accessibility and distributed nature of our information technology systems, and personal or confidential information stored on those systems, make such systems potentially vulnerable to unintentional or internal and external on our technology environment.
Vulnerabilities can be exploited from inadvertent or intentional actions or omissions of our employees, third-party vendors, business partners, or by malicious third parties. Attacks of this nature are increasing in their frequency, levels of persistence, sophistication and intensity, and are being conducted by sophisticated and organized groups and individuals with a wide range of motives (including, but not limited to, industrial espionage) and expertise, including organized criminal groups, “hacktivists,” nation-states and others. For example, despite our efforts to secure our information technology systems and the data contained in those systems, including any efforts to educate or train our employees, we remain vulnerable to phishing attacks.
In addition to the threat of unauthorized access or acquisition of sensitive or personal information, other threats could include the deployment of harmful malware, ransomware attacks, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. Some of these external threats may be amplified by the nature of third-party web hosting or cloud computing services or by the integration of our product into a third party’s offerings. Our systems may experience directed attacks intended to interrupt our operations; extract money from it; and/or obtain our data (including without limitation end user or employee personal information or proprietary information).
Although we have implemented certain systems, processes, and safeguards intended to protect our information technology systems and data from such threats and mitigate risks to our systems and data, we cannot be certain that threat actors will not have a material impact on our systems or services in the future. Our safeguards intended to prevent or mitigate certain threats may not be sufficient to protect our information technology systems and data due to the developing sophistication and means of attack in the threat landscape. The risk of harm to our business caused by security incidents may also increase as we expand our product and service offerings and as we enter into new markets. The rise in the use and sophistication of artificial intelligence systems may also increase the risk and severity of cyber incidents.
Any event that leads to unauthorized access, use or disclosure of personal information could disrupt our business, harm our reputation, compel us to comply with applicable federal and/or state breach notification laws and foreign law equivalents, subject us to time-consuming, distracting and expensive litigation, regulatory investigation and oversight, mandatory corrective action, or otherwise subject us to liability under laws, regulations and contractual obligations, including those that protect the privacy and security of personal information. Such statutory and contractual disclosures are costly, could lead to negative publicity, may cause our customers or the public to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures and require us to expend significant capital and other resources to respond to and/or alleviate problems caused by the actual or perceived security breach. Compliance with these obligations could result in increased costs to us, as well as significant legal and financial exposure.
We may become subject to litigation arising out of any security breaches, which may adversely affect our business.
Litigation resulting from security breaches may adversely affect our business. Unauthorized access to our systems, networks, or physical facilities could result in litigation with our customers or other relevant stakeholders, government investigations, or regulatory actions, and may result in liability of or claims for indemnification by us with respect to the same. These proceedings could force us to spend money in defense or settlement, divert management’s time and attention, increase our costs of doing business, and/or adversely affect our reputation. We could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our products and/or platform capabilities in response to such litigation, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Any costs incurred as a result of this potential liability could harm our business.
We maintain insurance policies to cover certain losses relating to our information technology systems, but there is no certainty that our policy limits will be sufficient to cover all liabilities that we may face as the result of security incident and there is no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current policies or secure new policies in the future.
We maintain insurance policies to cover certain losses relating to our information technology systems. However, there may be exceptions to our insurance coverage such that our insurance policies may not cover some or all aspects of a security incident. Even where an incident is covered by our insurance, the insurance limits may not cover the costs of complete remediation and redress that we may be faced with in the wake of a security incident and will not provide recovery for reputational harm. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage, or results in changes to its insurance policies (including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements), could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, we cannot be sure that our existing insurance coverage will continue to be available on acceptable terms or that our insurers will not deny coverage as to any future claim.
We depend on the availability of personnel with the requisite level of technical expertise.
Our ability to develop and maintain our solutions and execute our business plan is dependent on the availability of technical engineering, information technology, service delivery and monitoring, product development, sales, management, finance and other key personnel. The specialized engineers and other personnel required for our growth are in high demand by companies with greater resources, so we may have difficulty hiring and retaining critical personnel to develop and operate our services, which will have a negative impact on our ability to grow and achieve widespread customer and user acceptance.
We depend on key members of our senior management team; our performance could be adversely impacted if they depart and we cannot find suitable replacements.
Our success depends largely on the skills, experience and performance of key members of our senior management team, including key members located in India (and subject to potential change in law), as well as our ability to attract and retain other highly qualified management and technical personnel. There is competition for qualified personnel in our industry, and we may not be able to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development of our business. The loss of the services of key members of management and the inability or delay in hiring new key employees could adversely affect our ability to manage our business and our future operational and financial results.
The failure to successfully obtain, maintain and enforce intellectual property rights and defend against challenges to our intellectual property rights could adversely affect us.
Our services, products and processes rely on intellectual property, including patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets. In some cases, that intellectual property is owned by another party and licensed to us. The value of our intellectual property relies in part on our ability to maintain our proprietary rights to such intellectual property and use rights with respect to the intellectual property of others.
If we are unable to (i) obtain or maintain the proprietary rights to our intellectual property or the use rights with respect to the intellectual property of others, (ii) prevent attempted infringement against our intellectual property, (iii) defend against claims that we are infringing on another party’s intellectual property, or (iv) otherwise enforce our proprietary intellectual property rights or our use rights to intellectual property of others in any manner, we could be adversely affected. These adverse effects could include, without limitation, us having to abandon, alter and/or delay the deployment of products, services or processes that rely on such intellectual property; having to procure and pay for licenses from the holders of intellectual property rights that we seek to use; and having to pay damages, , court costs and attorney’s fees in connection with intellectual property .
Our results could be adversely impacted by increased inflation and supply chain pressure impacting our or our vendors’ expenses and availability of resources and components.
Inflation and inflationary pressures have impacted, and may continue to impact, our business and the businesses of our suppliers and vendors. If we cannot manage inflationary pressures and any shortages in the labor market, it could increase labor costs or delay our ability to hire appropriate personnel. Further, tariffs, inflation and supply chain pressure may impact the availability and cost of services and equipment. Due to the competitive nature of our business, we may not be able to pass on to customers increases in our vendors’ costs of production which could greatly affect our operating results. Independently or collectively these factors could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated operating results, financial condition, or ability to grow our business.
Global economic conditions may directly or indirectly increase our risks from supply chain, cybersecurity, foreign currency fluctuations, or other factors.
The financial markets and the global economy may be adversely affected by current or anticipated impact of military conflict, including the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related economic and other retaliatory measures taken by the United States, European Union and others, terrorism or other geopolitical events, including as a result of trade tensions between the U.S. and China. Sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other countries in response to conflicts, including the one in Ukraine, may also adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by the affected countries or others could exacerbate market and economic instability. Deteriorating economic conditions, financial uncertainty or political disruption, including any international trade disputes, changes in laws or policies governing the terms of international trade, or tariffs or taxes on imports from other countries may increase the likelihood of supply chain , cybersecurity , to our information systems, foreign currency fluctuations, or other risks. For example, the current Administration has issued a number of Executive Orders imposing higher tariffs on imports from a number of the United States’ trading partners. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions and in some cases economic . In response to the recent tariffs, other countries have implemented tariffs on U.S. goods. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce investment, technological exchange and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material effect on global economic conditions and the of global financial markets. In and uncertain economic environments such as the current one, it is not possible to predict whether or when such circumstances may or , or what impact, if any, such circumstances, such as additional sanctions, tariffs, , regional , changes in laws or governmental administrations, geopolitical shifts and any related effects, could have on the global economy or on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as those of our customers, partners and third-party service providers.
We have acquired and may in the future acquire other businesses, which could require significant management attention, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and harm our business, revenue and financial results.
As part of our business strategy, we have made and intend to make acquisitions. Our previous and future acquisitions may not achieve our goals, and we may not realize benefits from acquisitions we make in the future. Any integration process will require significant time and resources, and we may not be able to manage the process successfully or expend additional resources in the integration process. If (i) we fail to successfully integrate acquisitions, or the personnel or technologies associated with those acquisitions, or (ii) the business case for consummating such acquisitions does not meet our expectations in any manner, the business, revenue and financial results of the combined company could be harmed. Our acquisition strategy may change over time and future acquisitions we complete could be viewed negatively by our stockholders or other parties with whom we do business. We may not successfully evaluate or utilize any acquired businesses, assets or technologies, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition, including the accounting impact of the acquisition. If we recognize a significant amount of goodwill in an acquisition and later are required to write down the value of the goodwill, our financial results could be impacted. We may also incur liabilities that we assume as a result of acquisitions. We may have to pay cash, incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition, each of which could affect our financial condition or the value of our securities. In the future, we may not be to find suitable acquisition candidates, and we may not be to complete acquisitions on terms, if at all.
Strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, involve significant risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
Any strategic mergers, acquisitions and divestitures we may make in the future present significant risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and equity, which include, without limitation:
Difficulty in identifying and evaluating potential mergers and acquisitions, including the risk that our due diligence does not identify or fully assess valuation issues, potential liabilities or other merger or acquisition risks;
Difficulty, delays and expense in integrating newly merged or acquired businesses and operations, including combining product and service offerings, and in entering into new markets in which we are not experienced, in an efficient and cost-effective manner while maintaining adequate standards, controls and procedures, and the risk that we encounter significant unanticipated costs or other problems associated with integration;
Differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies that may delay successful integration;
Difficulty, delays and expense in consolidating and rationalizing IT infrastructure, which may include multiple legacy systems from various mergers and acquisitions and integrating software code;
Challenges in achieving strategic objectives, such as technology development, cost savings, that payments in common stock are more dilutive to current shareholders than anticipated or that cash consideration may be greater than anticipated, and other expected benefits;
Risk that our markets do not evolve as anticipated and that the strategic mergers, acquisitions and divestitures do not prove to be those needed to be successful in those markets;
Risk that we assume or retain, or that companies or corporations we have merged with or acquired have assumed or retained or otherwise become subject to, significant liabilities that exceed the limitations of any applicable indemnification provisions or the financial resources of any indemnifying parties;
Risk that indemnification related to businesses divested or spun off that we may be required to provide or otherwise bear may be significant and could negatively impact our business;
Risk that mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, spin offs and other strategic transactions fail to qualify for the intended tax treatment for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and the possibility that the full tax benefits anticipated to result from such transactions may not be realized;
Risk that we are not able to complete strategic divestitures on satisfactory terms and conditions, including unsatisfactory non-competition arrangements applicable to certain of our business lines, unsatisfactory non-solicitation provisions applicable to the talent we are able to pursue or within expected timeframes;
Potential loss of key employees or customers of the businesses merged with or acquired or to be divested;
Risk of diverting the attention of senior management from our existing operations; and
Risk that we will not receive the necessary regulatory approvals.
Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters
Our business depends on access to radio spectrum to provide certain of our location services and access to such spectrum is not a certainty.
Through our wholly owned affiliate, Progeny LMS, LLC, we hold 354 licenses issued by the FCC to use radio spectrum for location services within the 902-928 MHz band, identified by the FCC as the Multilateration Location and Monitoring (“LMS”) Service licenses, including 128 LMS licenses that we acquired from a third party in 2025. When the FCC created the LMS service, it used an auction process to issue three LMS licenses in each of 176 Economic Areas (“EAs”) in the U.S. Progeny’s 354 LMS licenses provide coverage of most of the U.S. and the vast majority of populated areas within the U.S., but the amount of spectrum authorized by its licenses varies by location. Progeny holds all three LMS licenses authorizing the use of 12 megahertz of spectrum in 81 EAs, it holds two LMS licenses authorizing the use of 8 megahertz of spectrum in another 32 EAs, and it holds one LMS license authorizing the use of 4 megahertz of spectrum in another 47 EAs. The remaining LMS licenses are all held by the FCC in reserve.
Progeny’s LMS spectrum licenses are subject to rules that were adopted by the FCC more than thirty years ago and do not reflect (and are often incompatible with) current technology in the fields of radio signal modulation (such as 5G transmissions) and wireless PNT services. Certain of our location services depend on our ability to use portions of the radio spectrum licensed by the FCC in a manner that is inconsistent with the rules applicable to LMS services in this spectrum. We have therefore filed a petition with the FCC seeking to update the rules and optimize the 902-928 MHz spectrum band to enable 5G operations. Our petition has been opposed by third parties that use portions of the 902-928 MHz band for other purposes, many of them on a secondary, subordinate basis to our licensed operations. We continue to work with the FCC and interested third parties in seeking approval for our Petition so we can deploy next-generation PNT services using state-of-the-art 5G technology in that band.
If the FCC does reconfigure the spectrum, it may decide to use an auction as part of the process of distributing the spectrum licenses it holds in reserve. We may be required to participate and compete with other bidders in such an auction, with no certainty of winning. If we are unable to secure additional LMS licenses or suitable alternative spectrum in a different frequency band, our ability to expand certain of our services nationwide may be negatively impacted, which may have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are able to convert our signal transmissions to a 5 G NR platform, the FCC may not permit us to realize all of the benefits of our 5 G NR architecture, including the additional transmission of high-throughput non-PNT-related voice and data alongside our PNT data.
One of the significant benefits of converting our spectrum transmissions to a 5G NR platform would be a substantial increase in the data transmission capacity of our network, thus facilitating the carriage of non-PNT-related two-way voice and data services alongside our core PNT data transmission. The FCC’s rules already permit us to use our currently licensed LMS spectrum for the carriage of two-way voice and data services, but these communications must be related to our PNT services and are not permitted to be interconnected in real time with the public switched network unless a store and forward technology is used. Therefore, to maximize the benefit of a conversion to a 5G NR platform, assuming the conversion is successful, we have requested flexibility from the FCC permitting us to use our spectrum for additional non-PNT-related services in addition to our PNT offerings. Our proposal has faced substantial opposition from other users of the 902-928 MHz band, and there is no certainty that the FCC will provide us this flexibility nor is there certainty with respect to the extent of the flexibility that is provided.
Our FCC licenses authorize the use of radio frequencies that are shared with other radio services, which could result in harmful interference and impairment to our use of our licensed spectrum.
Our LMS licenses authorize us to use portions of the 902-928 MHz band. This is a shared frequency band that is used for a number of purposes both by individuals, businesses and the federal government. Other services that are authorized to use these frequencies include federal radiolocation systems; industrial, scientific and medical devices; licensed amateur radio operations; and certain unlicensed devices. Our use of the spectrum is subject to FCC requirements that our operations must accept interference from other uses of the spectrum that have more senior rights to the spectrum. We have been successful thus far in using our LMS spectrum to operate location services without experiencing material impairment of our location services caused by more senior spectrum uses, but no certainty exists that we will be able to continue to do so with either the current-generation systems or following our proposed transition to a 5G NR platform. More senior uses of the 902-928 MHz band could become more numerous or could alter the characteristics of their transmissions in ways that could increase the interference to our location services, resulting in diminished coverage, consistency and accuracy of our location services.
In addition, our licenses are conditioned upon our ability to demonstrate through actual field tests that our systems do not cause unacceptable levels of interference to unlicensed devices. The FCC issued a decision in 2013 that concluded that, based on field tests, we had successfully demonstrated that our location services did not cause unacceptable interference to such unlicensed devices. Third-party challenges to that FCC decision are still pending. Further, changes in our operations could alter the transmission characteristics of our location services, potentially requiring us to provide further demonstrations that our location services do not cause unacceptable levels of interference to those unlicensed devices. No certainty exists that the FCC would conclude in the future that we have succeeded in making such a demonstration a second time. We have requested that the FCC eliminate this requirement. However, the FCC may to change the rule, and if we are to make this demonstration to the of the FCC, we may not be to make changes to our operating characteristics, potentially the future implementation of .
Our LMS licenses are subject to renewal by the FCC and no certainty exists that we will be able to secure ongoing renewals of our licenses.
LMS licenses are issued by the FCC for renewable periods of ten years. Progeny’s LMS licenses have different renewal deadlines, with the current license term for 33 of them extending until March 9, 2027, 52 of them until July 14, 2029, 78 of them until July 19, 2030, and 43 of them until October 5, 2031. For another 148 of our LMS licenses, the most recent term expired on July 19, 2020. We filed timely renewal requests for these LMS licenses at the FCC, which remain pending. The FCC’s rules do not identify a specific threshold that must be demonstrated in order for us to secure renewal of our LMS licenses, which means the applicable threshold is the FCC’s statutory obligation to grant a renewal of our licenses if it serves the public interest. The FCC has never denied an application that was filed by Progeny for renewal of its LMS licenses and we believe that our most recent license renewal applications satisfied all of the FCC’s requirements for grant.
Beginning in 2029, however, our LMS license renewal applications will be subject to new FCC rules placing additional conditions on license renewal applications. Specifically, to secure additional renewals of our LMS licenses we will be required to demonstrate compliance with additional requirements, including that we have satisfied its build-out construction requirements, that we use our network to provide service to the public, and that the service provided is at least at the same level of service that was demonstrated at the time of our build-out showing. No certainty exists that we will receive the currently applied for renewal or continue to meet the requirements of such renewal for future applications. If we fail to secure renewals for our LMS licenses, we will not be able to pursue our next-generation PNT services as previously planned and our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially harmed.
Many of our LMS licenses are subject to end-of-term build-out requirements maintained by the FCC, and no certainty exists that we will be able to comply with the build-out requirements for all of our licenses.
226 of Progeny’s 354 LMS licenses are subject to FCC rules that require licensees to make productive use of their licensed radio spectrum by a specific deadline and generally continue such use throughout the term of the licenses. If a licensee fails to satisfy its build-out deadlines, the licenses would be terminated, unless it obtains an extension of time to construct or secures a waiver of the requirement.
With respect to 154 of Progeny’s 226 LMS licenses that are subject to end-of-term buildout deadlines, Progeny filed notifications with the FCC that the construction of the required networks was completed and operational by the buildout deadline or by an extended deadline that was requested by Progeny. On April 17 and 18, 2023, the FCC “accepted” (i.e., approved) the build-out showings for 78 of these 154 LMS licenses. The buildout showings for another 76 of Progeny’s LMS licenses remain pending before the FCC. While we do not currently have reason to believe that the FCC will decline to accept these build-out showings, there is no certainty that the FCC will act favorably on these 76 buildout showings.
Finally, with respect to Progeny’s remaining 72 LMS licenses that are subject to buildout deadlines, Progeny has filed two requests for extension of the applicable buildout deadline, each request seeking an additional two years to complete construction of the required network. The 72 LMS licenses covered by these buildout extensions authorize the provision of location services in many of the least populated EAs authorized by Progeny’s LMS licenses. These extension requests, which remain pending, were based on multiple justifications that have been deemed by the FCC to be sufficient to merit the grant of such extensions in comparable cases involving other FCC licensees, although no certainty exists that the FCC will conclude that Progeny’s extension requests will be similarly warranted. If the FCC declines to accept any of our buildout showings, or declines to grant extensions of the buildout deadlines for those areas where Progeny has not yet completed the construction of its location service network, Progeny will lose access to its licensed spectrum and may be unable to secure alternative spectrum for these locations, preventing us from providing PNT services in these locations, which may have a material adverse impact on our business.
Our retention and use of our LMS licenses has been the subject of ongoing objections by third parties that could result in the revocation or non-renewal of our LMS licenses.
The FCC’s oversight of radio spectrum is conducted using a largely public process that is generally governed by the Administrative Procedure Act and the FCC’s rules on public participation in spectrum allocation and licensing proceedings. As a result, our retention and use of our LMS licenses has been the subject of comments and objections from third parties, including other users of the 902-928 MHz frequencies and other current and former licensees of LMS spectrum. In the past, the FCC has regularly rejected and dismissed these objections to our retention and use of our LMS licenses, but no certainty exists that the FCC will continue to do so in the future. Certain of the previous objections remain pending before the FCC, meaning that the FCC could still act on them in a manner that is adverse to us. If the FCC acts on any current or future objections by third parties, our LMS licenses could be revoked or not renewed, which will have a material adverse impact on our ability to use the spectrum as previously planned and our business, financial condition and results of operations will be .
A portion of our business plan targets government customers, which subjects us to risks, including early termination, audits, investigations, sanctions and penalties.
One of our objectives is to develop business relationships with U.S. government agencies for the provision of our products and services. We currently contract directly with U.S. government agencies, including NASA, and perform as a subcontractor to other contractors under U.S. government programs. As a U.S. government contractor, our business is subject to statutes and regulations applicable to companies doing business with the U.S. government, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation, or FAR; and NASA FAR Supplement, or NFS.
The funding of U.S. government programs is subject to annual U.S. Congressional appropriations. Long-term government contracts and related orders are subject to cancellation if appropriations for subsequent performance periods are not made. In addition, the U.S. government may modify, curtail or terminate its contracts and subcontracts without prior notice at its convenience and in that event, the counterparty to the contract may generally recover only its incurred or committed costs and settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to the termination. If the government terminates a contract for default, the defaulting party may be liable for any extra costs incurred by the government in procuring undelivered items from another source, among other potential contract damages. The termination of funding for a U.S. government program that we support, or any modification or curtailment of our U.S. government prime contracts or subcontracts, would result in a of anticipated future revenue attributable to that program, which could have an effect on our operations, financial condition or U.S. government customer demand for our products and services.
In addition, U.S. government contracts normally contain additional requirements that may increase our costs of doing business, reduce our profits, and expose us to liability for failure to comply with these terms and conditions. These compliance costs might further increase in the future, reducing our margins, which could have a negative effect on our financial condition. These requirements include, for example:
specialized disclosure and accounting requirements unique to U.S. government contracts;
financial and compliance audits;
public disclosures of certain contract and company information; and
mandatory socioeconomic compliance requirements.
Failure to comply with these U.S. government contracting regulations and requirements may result in potential price adjustments, recoupment of U.S. government funds after such funds have been spent, civil and criminal penalties, or administrative sanctions such as suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and ability to secure future U.S. government contracts.
Our government contract activities are subject to audits and investigations by U.S. government agencies, including agency Inspectors General, regarding our compliance with U.S. government contract requirements. If any audit, inquiry or investigation uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or debarment from doing business with the U.S. government.
In addition, if we fail to comply with U.S. government contracting laws, regulations and contract requirements, our contracts may be subject to termination, and we may be subject to financial and/or other liability under our contracts, the Federal Civil False Claims Act (including treble damages and other penalties), or criminal law. In particular, the False Claims Act’s “whistleblower” provisions also allow private individuals, including present and former employees, to sue on behalf of the U.S. government. Any penalties, damages, fines, suspension, or damages could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results.
We and our service providers collect, process, transmit, and store personal information, which creates legal obligations and may give rise to additional costs and liability. Failure to comply with federal, state and foreign laws and regulations relating to privacy and data protection could adversely affect our business and its financial condition.
We collect, process, transmit and store personal information, such as certain individual geolocation information, and other personal information relating to business contacts, personnel, end users, and website visitors, and we may rely in part on third parties that are not directly under its control to manage certain of these operations on our behalf. A variety of federal and state laws and regulations, as well as international laws and regulations (including as applicable the General Data Protection Regulation) govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of this information. If we fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to financial and/or other liability, including government investigations, regulatory action, litigation, and/or reputational harm.
The U.S. privacy and data protection legal landscape continues to evolve, with certain states having enacted broad-based data privacy and protection legislation and with other states and the federal government continuing to consider additional data privacy and protection legislation. The potential effects of this legislation are far-reaching, may be inconsistent between jurisdictions and may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply. Although we do not have direct interaction with end users, we may still be subject to these laws with respect to other personal information we process, or by way of acting as a service provider to our customers, which may bear additional obligations under these laws.
We or our customers may also be subject to FCC rules regarding Customer Proprietary Network Information or other restrictions on our ability to use certain data that we collect in connection with 911 or other calls. Further, the FCC’s wireless location rules subject us to additional privacy restrictions with respect to our use of any location information resulting from the provision of location services to support 911 emergency services.
Our obligations under applicable data privacy laws, regulations, contracts, industry standards, self-certifications, and other documentation may include maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal information or other data in our possession or control, maintaining reasonable and appropriate security safeguards as part of an information security program, and limits on the use and/or cross-border transfer of such personal information or other data. These obligations create potential liability to regulators, our business partners and customers, end users, and other relevant stakeholders and also may impact the attractiveness of our services to existing and potential customers. Data protection laws around the world often require “reasonable”, “appropriate” or “adequate” technical and organizational security measures, and the interpretation and application of those laws are often uncertain and evolving, and there can be no assurance that our security measures will be deemed adequate, appropriate or reasonable by a regulator or court.
Given the evolving nature of security threats and evolving safeguards, we cannot be sure that our chosen safeguards will protect against security threats to our business, including the personal data that we process. However, even security measures that are appropriate, reasonable, and/or in accordance with applicable legal requirements may not be able to fully protect our information technology systems and the data contained in those systems, or our data that is contained in third parties’ systems. Moreover, certain data protection laws impose on us responsibility for our employees and third parties that assist with aspects of our data processing. Our employees’ or third parties’ intentional, unintentional, or inadvertent actions may increase our vulnerability or expose us to security threats, such as phishing attacks, and we may remain responsible for successful access, acquisition or other disclosure of our data the quality and legal sufficiency of our security measures.
In addition to the risk of data breaches and noncompliance with applicable law, we may be exposed to additional liability for our failure to adhere to the technical or operational security requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (“PCI DSS”) if and as applicable, imposed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council to protect cardholder data. Penalties arising from PCI DSS enforcement are inherently uncertain as penalties may be imposed by various entities within the payment card processing chain without regard to any statutory or universally mandated framework. Such enforcement could threaten our relationship with our banks, card brands we do business with, and our third-party payment processors.
We publish privacy policies, notices and other documentation regarding our collection, processing, use and disclosure of personal information. Although we endeavor to comply with our published policies and other published documentation, we may at times fail to do so or may be perceived to have failed to do so. Moreover, despite our efforts, we may not be successful in achieving compliance if our employees or vendors fail to comply with our published policies or other documentation. Such failures can subject us to potential law enforcement or legal action if they are found to be deceptive, unfair, or misrepresentative of our actual practices.
We expect that new industry standards, laws and regulations will continue to be proposed regarding privacy, data protection and information security in many jurisdictions. We cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, regulations and standards may have on our business. We expect that the evolving regulatory interpretation and enforcement of data protection laws, as well as other domestic and foreign data protection laws, will lead to increased operational and compliance costs and may require us to make changes to our operations, policies, and procedures.
Our business is subject to a wide variety of additional extensive and evolving government laws and regulations. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations relating to various aspects of our business, including, without limitation, with respect to our wireless location services, employment and labor matters, health care matters, tax matters, privacy and data security matters, health and safety matters, customs matters and government contracting matters. Laws and regulations at the foreign, federal, state and local levels frequently change, especially in relation to new and emerging industries, and we cannot always reasonably predict the impact from, or the ultimate cost of compliance with, current or future legal, regulatory or administrative changes. We monitor these developments and devote a significant amount of our management’s time and external resources towards compliance with these laws, regulations and guidelines, and such compliance places a significant burden on management’s time and other our resources, and it may limit our ability to develop new business channels. Moreover, changes in law, the imposition of new or additional regulations or the enactment of any new or more stringent legislation that impacts our business could require us to change the way we operate and could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
Failure to comply with these laws or regulations or failure to satisfy any criteria or other requirement under such laws or regulations, such as with respect to obtaining and maintaining licenses, certificates, authorizations and permits critical for the operation of our business, may result in civil penalties private lawsuits, criminal actions or reputational harm, or result in a delay or the denial, suspension or revocation of our existing or contemplated licenses, certificates, authorizations or permits, which would prevent us from operating our business.
Additionally, regulation of our industry is still evolving, and new or different laws or regulations could affect our operations and increase direct compliance costs. Application of these laws or regulations to our business may negatively impact our performance in various ways, limiting the collaborations we may pursue and increasing our costs and the time necessary to obtain required authorization. The adoption of a multi-layered regulatory approach to any one of the laws or regulations to which we are or may become subject, particularly where the layers are in conflict, could require alteration of our services or operational parameters, which may adversely impact our business. We may not be in complete compliance with all such requirements at all times and, even when we believe we are in complete compliance, a governmental authority (including a regulatory agency) may determine that we are not.
We are subject to stringent U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations. Unfavorable changes in these laws and regulations or U.S. government licensing policies, our failure to secure timely U.S. government authorizations under these laws and regulations, or our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business plans are based in part on the distribution of our equipment, software and services world-wide. We are required to comply with U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the EAR administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security and the foreign asset control regulations administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. Pursuant to these foreign trade control laws and regulations, we are required, among other things, to (i) determine the proper licensing jurisdiction and export classification of products, software, and technology, (ii) obtain licenses or other forms of U.S. government authorization, or qualify for exceptions, to export our products, software, and technology outside the United States, and (iii) avoid engaging in unauthorized transactions with certain sanctioned countries, territories, entities, and individuals. Violations of applicable export control and sanctions laws and related regulations, which are enforced on a strict liability basis, could result in criminal and administrative penalties, including fines and possible denial of export privileges. U.S. export licenses or license exceptions are required to transfer or make accessible certain of our software source code and technology to our non-U.S. employees (deemed exports).
In addition, U.S. export control laws and related licensing policies continue to change, further regulating the export and re-export of our products, services, and technology from the U.S. and abroad, and increasing our costs and the time necessary to obtain required authorization. For example, should exceptions or exemptions under the EAR be changed, our activities otherwise authorized via these mechanisms may become unavailable and could result in the need for additional export authorizations.
Additionally, changes to the administrative implementation of export control laws at the agency level may suddenly change as a result of geopolitical events, which could result in existing or proposed export authorization applications being viewed in unpredictable ways, or potentially rejected, as a result of the changed agency level protocol. Increasing trade tensions with China and Russia, in particular, may affect our supply chain, increase direct and indirect compliance costs, or significantly impact relations with business partners. The extensive and changing nature of these export control laws and related licensing policies may diminish our ability to market our solutions in the certain markets.
We are exposed to risks related to geopolitical and economic factors, laws and regulations and our international business subjects us to numerous political and economic factors, legal requirements, cross-cultural considerations and other risks associated with doing business globally.
Although our international business is still in its early stages, its development is subject to both U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, including, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to export/import controls (described above), sanctions, technology transfer restrictions, government contracts and procurement, data privacy and protection, anti-corruption laws, including the FCPA, the anti-boycott provisions of the U.S. Export Control Reform Act, security restrictions and intellectual property. Failure by us, our employees, affiliates, partners or others with whom we work to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in administrative, civil, commercial or criminal liabilities, including suspension or debarment from government contracts or suspension of our export/import privileges. New regulations and requirements, or changes to existing ones in the various countries in which we operate can significantly increase our costs and risks of doing business internationally.
Changes in laws, regulations, political leadership and environment, and/or security risks may dramatically affect our ability to conduct or continue to conduct business in international markets, including sales to customers and purchases from suppliers outside the U.S. We may also be impacted by U.S. and foreign national policies and priorities, political decisions and geopolitical relationships, any of which may be influenced by changes in the threat environment, political leadership, geopolitical uncertainties, world events, bilateral and multi-lateral relationships and economic and political factors, and any of which could impact our operations and/or export authorizations, or delay purchasing decisions or payments and the provision of supplies, goods and services. Global economic conditions and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could further impact our business. For example, the tightening of credit in financial markets outside of the U.S. could adversely affect the ability of our customers and suppliers to obtain financing and could result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for our products and services or impact the ability of our customers to make payments, or the implementation of new tariffs or other import- or customs-related regulations (e.g., the Information and Communications Technology and Services regime, labor restrictions) could impact the availability or cost of product components. We cannot predict what changes to U.S. trade policy will be made by the current Administration, a future presidential administration or Congress, including whether the entry into new bilateral or multilateral trade agreements will occur, nor can we predict the effects that any such changes would have on our business. Changes in U.S. trade policy have resulted and could again result in reactions from U.S. trading partners, including the adoption by such countries of responsive trade policies that may make it more or for U.S. businesses to do business with suppliers and manufacturers of such countries. Changes to U.S. foreign trade policy that restrict our ability to transact with other countries, individuals or entities or to conduct business outside the U.S. could materially and affect our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
We also are increasingly dependent on in-country suppliers and we face risks related to their failure to perform in accordance with the contracts and applicable laws, particularly where we rely on a sole source supplier. The services we provide internationally are sometimes in countries with unstable governments, economic or fiscal challenges, military or political conflicts and/or developing legal systems. This may increase the risk to our employees, subcontractors or other third parties, and/or increase the risk of a wide range of liabilities, as well as loss of property or damage to our products.
The occurrence and impact of these factors is difficult to predict, but one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
If we issue and sell additional shares of our common stock in the future, our existing stockholders will be diluted and our stock price could fall.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, of which, as of December 31, 2025 , 135,372,269 shares were outstanding, 14,179,507 shares were reserved for future issuance under our stock incentive plan and 52,266,695 shares were issuable upon the exercise of warrants and conversion of debt. As a result, we have a large number of shares of common stock that are authorized for issuance and are not outstanding or otherwise reserved and could be issued at the discretion of our board of directors (our “Board”) or through exercise of options and warrants or conversion of debt. We expect to seek additional financing in the future in order to fund our operations, and if we issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock, our existing stockholders will be diluted. Our Board may also choose to issue shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock to acquire assets, corporations or companies, for compensation to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors, to fund capital expenditures and to enter into strategic partnerships. Additionally, shares of common stock could be issued for anti-takeover purposes or to delay or prevent changes in control or management of the Company. Our Board may determine to issue shares of our common stock on terms that our stockholders do not believe enhance stockholder value, or that may ultimately have an (including a material ) effect on our business or the trading price of our common stock. Further, the issuance of any such shares may cause further dilution to the ownership interest of our current stockholders, reduce the book value per share of our common stock and may contribute to a reduction in the market price for our common stock.
Our principal stockholders own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.
Certain of our stockholders own a significant percentage of our outstanding capital stock. As of December 31, 2025 , our holders of 5% or more of our capital stock and their respective affiliates beneficially owned approximately 40% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, certain stockholders may have significant influence over our affairs due to their substantial stock ownership and, in one case, a position on our Board. For example, these stockholders may be able to control or influence elections of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, or the approval of any merger, sale of assets or our business, or other major corporate transaction. The concentrated ownership of our common stock may also cause additional volatility as fewer of our shares may be traded on a daily basis. Furthermore, any significant sale of common stock by any of these holders could have an adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our common stock that some of our stockholders may believe is in their best interest.
Our limited number of employees subjects us to significant resource constraints, which may hinder our ability to comply with public company regulations and manage our operations effectively.
We operate with a very small number of employees, and our success depends on the continued service and performance of this lean team. As a public company, we are subject to complex reporting, legal, and accounting requirements that demand significant time and attention. Because of our limited headcount, our executive officers must personally devote a substantial portion of their time to compliance and SEC reporting tasks. This diverts their attention away from our primary business objectives. Our small staff makes it difficult to maintain an ideal "segregation of duties" within our internal control over financial reporting. This increases the risk that errors or fraud could occur and not be detected in a timely manner. The loss of even one or two employees could disproportionately disrupt our operations, as we lack the "bench strength" or redundancy found in larger organizations to redistribute specialized tasks. To meet our public obligations, we rely on outside consultants, auditors, and legal counsel. This increases our operating costs and makes our compliance dependent on the availability and performance of these third-party providers.
If we are unable to effectively manage our limited human resources or if we fail to scale our staff as our strategy progresses, we may experience delays in our filings, weaknesses in our internal controls, or a failure to execute our business plan, any of which could materially and adversely affect our stock price.
We have never paid dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The continued operation and expansion of our business will require substantial funding. We have paid no cash dividends on any of our capital stock to date and we currently intend to retain our available cash to fund the development and growth of our business. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions (such as those of the 2028 Indenture), restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board deems relevant. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the appreciation of their stock, which may never occur.
The exercise of warrants to purchase our common stock will increase the number of outstanding shares in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.
We have a significant number of outstanding warrants for the purchase of common stock. Outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 18,749,960 shares of common stock became exercisable on November 27, 2021 in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement governing those securities. These warrants consist of 14,715,170 public warrants and 4,034,790 private placement warrants, related to the initial public offering and financing of Spartacus Acquisition Corp. (a Delaware special purpose acquisition company with which we consummated a business combination in 2021). The 4,034,790 private placement warrants have been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. Each warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on October 28, 2026, or earlier upon redemption of our common stock or our liquidation. To the extent warrants are exercised, additional shares of common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to our then existing stockholders and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market.
Moreover, in conjunction with the issuance of our senior secured notes in 2023 (Refer to Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information), we issued an aggregate of 25,925,927 warrants (the “2023 Debt Warrants”) at an exercise price of $2.16 to purchase shares of our common stock to certain of the purchasers thereof. The 2023 Debt Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on June 1, 2027. As of December 31, 2025, 10,589,346 2023 Debt Warrants were outstanding.
Additionally, in conjunction with the issuance of the 2028 Notes in 2025 (Refer to Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information), we issued 7,800,000 warrants (the “2025 Debt Warrants” and, together with the 2023 Debt Warrants, the “Debt Warrants”) with exercise prices ranging from $12.56 to $20.00 per share to certain of the purchasers thereof. The 2025 Debt Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on December 31, 2028. As of December 31, 2025, 7,800,000 2025 Debt Warrants were outstanding.
Sales of substantial numbers of shares of our common stock underlying the Debt Warrants in the public market will dilute existing stockholders, may reduce the book value of existing shares of common stock and could depress the market price of our common stock.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.
