Spire Global reported Q2 2026 GAAP revenue of $18.0 million, down 6% year-over-year due to maritime business divestment in April 2025; excluding maritime, revenue grew 16% YoY and 19% sequentially, driven by higher space services data and radio-frequency geolocation (RFGL) purchases. Gross margin declined 16 percentage points YoY to 34% GAAP (38% non-GAAP), primarily from WildFireSat contract cancellation in Q2. Net loss was $20.0 million versus prior-year net income of $119.6 million, which included a $154.3 million gain on maritime business sale; adjusting for that gain and debt-loss, Q2 loss improved 12% YoY. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $8.6 million, improving 16% YoY. Cash used in operations was $23.4 million, down 32% YoY; cash position remains $91.7 million, debt-free. Operationally, Spire signed four new RFGL customers, launched 29 satellites year-to-date, and achieved its first cross-plane laser inter-satellite link demonstration in July. FY2026 guidance (reaffirmed) targets $75–85 million total revenue or $71.6–81.6 million excluding maritime, representing 42–61% YoY growth ex-maritime.

Spire Global and PlanetiQ win NOAA contracts to supply radio occultation data for weather and space weather forecasting.

NOAA extends its contract with Spire Global for $3M to keep evaluating HyMS hyperspectral microwave sounder data.
Global weather data and forecasting products derived from GPS radio-occultation measurements collected by Spire's nanosatellite constellation. The satellites profile the atmosphere by measuring how GNSS signals bend as they pass through it, feeding temperature, pressure, and humidity data into numerical weather models. Spire sells the resulting forecasts and atmospheric datasets to government meteorological agencies, defense, aviation, energy, and maritime customers as subscription analytics, supplementing sparse ground- and balloon-based observations with dense, continuous global coverage.
Space-based ADS-B aircraft-tracking and broader RF-sensing services built on Spire's CubeSats. By receiving aircraft transponder and other radio-frequency signals from orbit, Spire provides global visibility over air traffic far beyond terrestrial receiver range, plus detection of GNSS spoofing and jamming. Customers use the data for flight monitoring, aviation and supply-chain analytics, and reconnaissance, delivered through APIs and subscription data feeds to commercial and government users. Spire divested its maritime ship-tracking business to Kpler in April 2025, retaining its aviation, weather, reconnaissance, and Space Services lines.
