It is noteworthy. That. In addition, to NASA, Milestone cash, receipts. We are also seeing very strong support of starlab from high-quality investors as part of strong Labs series, a capital raise.

And turning to slide 8 to recap our full-year performance.

Speaker #2: Significant growth in next-generation interceptor and classified ISR programs were the main growth drivers here. Space Solutions net sales declined 36% year over year, and as I mentioned earlier, primarily due to the planned wind-down of a legacy NASA services contract.

Filipe De Sousa: The growth here was led by Defense and National Security, expanding 59% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year was a loss of $69.9 million, compared to a loss of $30 million last year. Adjusted EPS was a loss of $2.05, compared to a loss of $5.72 in the prior year.

With the window of the NASA Services contract behind us, we expect to see Space Solutions once again return to growth in 2026.

Speaker #2: All the while, continuing to also innovate across our existing platforms. We expect modest SGA leverage as revenue growth begins to absorb public company costs.

In 2026, we are making investments directly linked to opportunities. We are seeing a cross—our markets,

Investment and incremental growth are clearly connected.

Speaker #2: In addition to innovation investments, capital expenditures excluding Starlab are expected to be approximately 60% to 70 million. Here, we are focused on scaling domestic energetics and munitions production, advanced electronics and propulsion capacity, as well as product line enhancements.

We are investing because demand is expanding and customers are pulling us into larger, multi-year, mission-critical programs.

Gross margin for the year is expected to be in the mid-teens, reflecting targeted investments in manufacturing capacity ahead of growth acceleration.

Speaker #2: Importantly, these investments are tied to programs where we have line-of-sight to growing demand. Starlab enters its full system development phase in 2026 and is expected to ramp investment levels executing to plan.

Filipe De Sousa: All the while continuing to also innovate across our existing platforms. We expect modest SG&A leverage as revenue growth begins to absorb public company costs. In addition to innovation investments, capital expenditures excluding Starlab are expected to be approximately $60 to 70 million.

All the while continuing to also innovate across our existing platforms.

Speaker #2: Starlab investments, including operating expenses, procurement, and capital expenditures, will continue to be supported by including NASA's CLD program, other government entities, domestic and international, as well as capital markets.

We expect modest, SJ leverage, as Revenue, growth begins to absorb public company costs.

Speaker #2: 2026 is a pivotal year towards delivering on our long-term financial framework. To emphasize, we continue to target a 25% organic growth figure. Gross margins in the range of 30% to 35%, resulting in mid-teens adjusted EBITDA margin excluding Starlab, and low teens free cash flow margin, again excluding Starlab.

In addition to Innovation Investments, Capital expenditures, excluding Star Lab are expected to be approximately 60 to 70 million. Here we are focused on scaling domestic energetics, and Munitions production.

Advanced electronics and propulsion capacity, as well as product line enhance.

In importantly, these Investments are tied to programs where we have line of sight to Growing demand.

Star Lab enters its full systems development phase in 2026 and is expected to ramp investment levels, executing to plan.

Speaker #2: Starlab, once in orbit, is expected to generate $4 billion of annual revenues and $1.5 billion of annual free cash flow providing a significant value creation opportunity for shareholders.

Speaker #2: In summary, we continue to invest in growth. To support accelerating demand for our mission-critical capabilities, with a clear line-of-sight to scale, operating leverage, and cash generation as execution builds.

Filipe De Sousa: 2026 is a pivotal year towards delivering on our long-term financial framework. To emphasize, we continue to target a 25% organic growth figure, gross margins in the range of 30 to 35%, resulting in mid-teen adjusted EBITDA margin excluding Starlab and low teen free cash flow margin, again, excluding Starlab. Starlab, once in orbit, is expected to generate $4 billion of annual revenues and $1.5 billion of annual free cash flow, providing a significant value creation opportunity for shareholders. In summary, we continue to invest in growth to support accelerating demand for our mission critical capabilities with a clear line of sight to scale, operating leverage, and cash generation as execution builds. This framework balances our near-term execution with durable long-term value. With that, I'll turn it back over to Dylan.

2026 is a pivotal year towards delivering on our long-term Financial framework.

Speaker #2: This framework balances our near-term execution with durable long-term value. With that, I'll turn it back over to Dylan.

to emphasize, we continue to Target, a 25% organic growth tagger

Speaker #1: Thank you, Phil. To wrap up on slide 12, 2025 was a year marked by transformational execution for Voyager. Backed by customer momentum and supported by a platform purpose-built for mission urgency and scale.

In the range of 30 to 35% resulting in mid teens adjusted, even the margin excluding Star, Lab and low teens free cash flow margin again. Excluding Starland.

Star Lab once in orbit, is expected to generate 4 billion dollars of annual revenues and 1 and a half billion of annual free cash flow providing a significant value creation opportunity for shareholders.

Speaker #1: We strengthened our foundation by entering the public markets, delivered strong growth, completed strategic acquisitions that deepened vertical integration, and advanced Starlab through major milestones.

In summary, we continue to invest in growth.

Speaker #1: Each step expanded capability and reduced risk. The opportunities ahead across missile defense, national security, and commercial space are funded measurable and accelerating. And we are well positioned to convert that demand into sustained growth and long-term shareholder value.

To support accelerating demand for our mission. Critical capabilities with a clear line of sight to scale, operating, leverage and cash generation as execution builds. This framework balances our near-term execution with durable long-term value,

With that, I'll turn it back over to Dylan.

Speaker #1: Yeah. Well, I appreciate it, Ron. Good to hear from you. So a couple of points I would make. First of all, it's a terrific environment for our products and services in general.

Speaker #1: Certainly, defense spending, as we know, is on the increase, but probably more importantly than that, structurally the way the Department of War is procuring products and services is evolving.

Thank you. The floor is now open for questions at this time. If you have a question or comment, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad. If at any point, your question has been answered. You may remove yourself from the queue by pressing star 1. In the interest of time, we ask that you please limit yourself to 1 question and 1 follow up. Thank you. Your first question comes from Ron Epstein with Bank of America. Please go ahead.

Ron Epstein: Yeah. Hey, good morning, and thanks for all the detail on the call. Dylan, I was wondering if you could just maybe go into just some more detail on what really prompted the revenue guide and, you know, what you're feeling really comfortable about to do that.

Ronald Epstein: Yeah. Hey, good morning, and thanks for all the detail on the call. Dylan, I was wondering if you could just maybe go into just some more detail on what really prompted the revenue guide and, you know, what you're feeling really comfortable about to do that.

Hey, hey, hey.

Speaker #1: And it's really playing to our strengths. It's really leaning into the innovation side of things. Everything is being challenged in terms of legacy programs versus new advanced technologies.

Speaker #1: So that's playing directly into our strengths. So great environment, record pipeline, record backlog. And then if I dive deeper into the demand signals, it's really across the board.

Uh, and thanks for all the detail on the call. Um, Dylan, I was wondering if you could just maybe go into some more detail on what really prompted the revenue guide and, you know, what you're feeling really comfortable about, um, to do that.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. Well, I appreciate it, Ron. Good to hear from you. So a couple points I would make. First of all, it's a terrific environment for our products and services in general. Certainly defense spending, as we know, is on the increase, but probably more importantly than that, structurally, the way the Department of War is procuring products and services is evolving, and it's really playing to our strengths. It's really leaning into the innovation side of things. Everything is being challenged in terms of legacy programs versus new advanced technologies. That's playing directly into our strengths. It's a great environment, record pipeline, record backlog. Then if I dive deeper into the demand signals, it's really across the board. It's everything from our advanced electronics capability, which is really seminal to a lot of these programs.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. Well, I appreciate it, Ron. Good to hear from you. So a couple points I would make. First of all, it's a terrific environment for our products and services in general. Certainly defense spending, as we know, is on the increase, but probably more importantly than that, structurally, the way the Department of War is procuring products and services is evolving, and it's really playing to our strengths.

It's a great environment, record pipeline, record backlog. Then if I dive deeper into the demand signals, it's really across the board. It's everything from our advanced electronics capability, which is really seminal to a lot of these programs.

Speaker #1: It's everything from our advanced electronics capability, which is really seminal to a lot of these programs, we're seeing the demand signal very, very strong in propulsion.

Yeah, well, I appreciate it. Ron good to good to hear from you. Uh so a couple couple points I would make. First of all, it's a terrific environment for our products and services in general, uh, certainly the fence sending as we know is on the increase, but probably more importantly than that.

Speaker #1: On multiple programs, factoring into golden dome, the energetics business that we just acquired, we're seeing huge demand signals on that as well as the Department of War looks to replenish their stockpiles.

Speaker #1: And then I would say also on communications, sensing, and data processing, huge demand signals on that as well. So it's really across the board.

Structurally the way the department of war is procuring products and services is evolving and it's really playing to our strengths. Uh it's really leaning into the Innovation side of things. Uh, everything is being challenged in terms of Legacy programs versus new Advanced Technologies. So that's playing directly into our strengths.

So, great environment, record pipeline, record backlog.

and then, if I

Speaker #1: And that's why we have the conviction, based upon the record pipeline, based upon the record backlog, to raise revenue guidance into the year.

Diving deeper into the demand signals, it's really across the board. It's everything from our Advanced Electronics.

Dylan Taylor: We're seeing the demand signal very, very strong in propulsion, on multiple programs factoring into Golden Dome. The energetics business that we just acquired, we're seeing huge demand signals on that as well as the Department of War looks to replenish their stockpiles. I would say also on communications, sensing, and data processing, huge demand signals on that as well. It's really across the board, and that's why we have the conviction based upon the record pipeline, based upon the record backlog to raise revenue guidance into end of the year.

Dylan Taylor: We're seeing the demand signal very, very strong in propulsion, on multiple programs factoring into Golden Dome. The energetics business that we just acquired, we're seeing huge demand signals on that as well as the Department of War looks to replenish their stockpiles. I would say also on communications, sensing, and data processing, huge demand signals on that as well. It's really across the board, and that's why we have the conviction based upon the record pipeline, based upon the record backlog to raise revenue guidance into end of the year.

Speaker #4: And then maybe just kind of as a follow-up to that on Starlab, with a NASA administrator set and things seeming more stable on the top of NASA, what do you expect a down select decision on the Starlab?

Capability, which is really seminal to a lot of these programs. Uh, we're seeing the demand signal very, very strong in propulsion.

Uh, on multiple programs, factoring into to Golden Dome, uh, the energetics business that we just acquired. We're seeing huge demand signals on that, as well as the Department of War looks to replenish their stockpiles.

Speaker #1: Yeah. Definitely this year, Ron, we still anticipate a down select this year. To be more precise, it's difficult to say. We would anticipate the RFP is going to come out in the next 60 days or so.

And then I would say, also on Communications sensing and data processing.

Huge demand signals on that as well.

Speaker #1: And basing that on language that was in the NASA authorization bill, which was passed committee. But if you figure roughly four to five months for selection once that RFP is out, then that would be sort of late summer, early fall.

So it's really across the board and that's why we have the conviction based upon the record pipeline based upon the record backlog to raise revenue guidance into into the year.

Ron Epstein: Maybe just kind of as a follow-up to that on Starlab. With you know, a NASA administrator set and things seeming more stable on the top of NASA, when would you expect a down select decision on the Starlab?

Ronald Epstein: Maybe just kind of as a follow-up to that on Starlab. With you know, a NASA administrator set and things seeming more stable on the top of NASA, when would you expect a down select decision on the Starlab?

Speaker #1: But I would definitely anticipate selection within calendar year 2026.

Speaker #4: Got it. Got it. Thank you very much. I'll jump back in the queue.

And then maybe just kind of as a follow-up to that, on Starlab, with, you know, a NASA administrator set and things seeming more stable on the top of NASA, when would you expect a down-select decision on the startup?

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. Definitely this year, Ron. We still anticipate a down select this year. To be more precise, it's difficult to say. We would anticipate the RFP is gonna come out in the next 60 days or so, and basing that on language that was in the NASA authorization bill, which has passed committee. If you figure, you know, roughly, I don't know, 4 to 5 months for selection once that RFP is out, then that would be sort of late summer or early fall. I would definitely anticipate selection within calendar year 2026.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. Definitely this year, Ron. We still anticipate a down select this year. To be more precise, it's difficult to say. We would anticipate the RFP is gonna come out in the next 60 days or so, and basing that on language that was in the NASA authorization bill, which has passed committee. If you figure, you know, roughly, I don't know, 4 to 5 months for selection once that RFP is out, then that would be sort of late summer or early fall. I would definitely anticipate selection within calendar year 2026.

Speaker #1: Thank you, Ron.

Speaker #3: Your next question comes from the line of Myles Walton with Wolf Research. Please go ahead.

Speaker #4: Thanks. Maybe Phil, you gave us a number of the moving pieces on the EBITDA walk. Could you maybe flesh that out if you want to, to get to sort of a range?

Yeah, uh definitely this year Ron we still anticipated down select this year to be more precise as difficult to say, we would anticipate. The RP is going to come out in the next 60 days or so. And basing that on uh, language that was in the NASA authorization bill that just passed committee.

Speaker #4: And then relating to the higher CapEx, we've seen a lot of the missile providers find a way to get what are effectively advances, but basically higher milestone payments coincident with the CapEx expenditures to lessen the load on free cash flow.

Possibly, I don't know. Four to five months for selection. Once that RP is out, then that would be sort of late summer, early fall.

But I would definitely anticipate selection within calendar year 2026.

Speaker #4: Could you touch on that as well?

Ron Epstein: Got it. Thank you very much. I'll jump back in the queue.

Ronald Epstein: Got it. Thank you very much. I'll jump back in the queue.

Speaker #1: So Miles, I think that first one just actually repeat the second question for me. But from an EBITDA perspective, you're 100% right. We are guiding to an EBITDA loss in 2026.

Dylan Taylor: Thank you, Ron.

Dylan Taylor: Thank you, Ron.

Got it, got it. Thank you very much. I'll jump back in the queue.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Myles Walton with Wolfe Research. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Myles Walton with Wolfe Research. Please go ahead.

Thank you, Ron.

Your next question comes from the line of Miles Walton with Wolfe research.

Let's go ahead.

Myles Walton: Thanks. Maybe still, you gave us a number of the moving pieces on the EBITDA walk. Could you maybe flesh that out if you want to get to sort of a range? Then relating to the higher CapEx, we've seen a lot of the missile providers find a way to get what are effectively advances, but basically higher milestone payments coincident with the CapEx expenditures to lessen the load on free cash flow. Could you touch on that as well?

Myles Walton: Thanks. Maybe still, you gave us a number of the moving pieces on the EBITDA walk. Could you maybe flesh that out if you want to get to sort of a range? Then relating to the higher CapEx, we've seen a lot of the missile providers find a way to get what are effectively advances, but basically higher milestone payments coincident with the CapEx expenditures to lessen the load on free cash flow. Could you touch on that as well?

Speaker #1: It shouldn't come as a surprise. We continue to see tremendous opportunity to grow our business, invest in our business. So as part of that, we're accelerating a significant amount of our own internally funded research and development.

Speaker #1: We know that there's a strong signal for demand for our product, for our innovative solutions that we've already have in our contracted. And the next generation of those.

Speaker #1: And so we're going to continue to invest in growing our business. We see a strong signal as Dylan mentioned earlier. From the marketplace, that that's going to continue; it's not just a short-term duration.

Thanks. Um, maybe still, you gave us a number of the moving pieces on the EVO. Um, walk could you maybe, um, flush that out if you want to to get to sort of a range and then relating to the higher capex, we've seen a lot of the missiles providers. Uh, find a way to get um what are effectively Advanced is. But basically higher Milestone payments for incident with the capex, expenditures to lessen the load on free cash flow.

Could you touch on that as well?

Filipe De Sousa: Miles, I'll take that first one. Just ask you to repeat the second question for me. From an EBITDA perspective, you're 100% right. We are guiding to an EBITDA loss in 2026. It shouldn't come as a surprise. We continue to see tremendous opportunity to grow our business, invest in our business. As part of that, we're accelerating a significant amount of our own internally funded research and development. We know that there's a strong signal for demand for our product, for innovative solutions that we've already have and are contracted, and the next generation of those. We're gonna continue to invest in growing our business. We see as strong a signal as Dylan mentioned earlier from the marketplace that that's going to continue. It's not just a short-term duration.

Filipe De Sousa: Miles, I'll take that first one. Just ask you to repeat the second question for me. From an EBITDA perspective, you're 100% right. We are guiding to an EBITDA loss in 2026. It shouldn't come as a surprise. We continue to see tremendous opportunity to grow our business, invest in our business. As part of that, we're accelerating a significant amount of our own internally funded research and development. We know that there's a strong signal for demand for our product, for innovative solutions that we've already have and are contracted, and the next generation of those. We're gonna continue to invest in growing our business. We see as strong a signal as Dylan mentioned earlier from the marketplace that that's going to continue. It's not just a short-term duration.

Speaker #1: So we're going to continue to invest in our business here in 2026. Important too is as we start to scale and grow through the back half of this year, we anticipate to still, if you would, achieve our longer-term aspirations of being EBITDA positive exiting 2027, be free cash flow positive in 2028.

Speaker #1: And so that's, I think, a really important element to make sure that investors and analysts alike understand. We are committed; in fact, if anything, we're enthused with the increasing demand for our product and see opportunity to actually potentially achieve some of those targets earlier than we had previously anticipated, despite our investment here in 2026.

So, Miles, I think that first one just asked you to repeat the second question for me, but from a neighbor's perspective, you're 100% right. We are going into a neighborhood that lost in 2026. It shouldn't come as a surprise. We continue to see tremendous opportunity to grow our business, invest in our business. So as part of that, we're accelerating a significant amount of our own internally funded research and development. We know that there's a strong signal for demand for our product, for our innovative solutions that we already have in our contracted and the next generation.

Filipe De Sousa: We're gonna continue to invest in our business here in 2026. Important too is as we start to scale and grow through the back half of this year, we anticipate to still, if you had achieved our longer term aspirations of being EBITDA positive, exiting 2027, be free cash flow positive in 2028. That's, I think, a really important element to make sure that investors and analysts alike understand. We are committed. In fact, if anything, we're infused with the increasing demand for our product and see opportunity to actually potentially achieve some of those targets earlier than we had previously anticipated, despite our investment here in 2026.

Filipe De Sousa: We're gonna continue to invest in our business here in 2026. Important too is as we start to scale and grow through the back half of this year, we anticipate to still, if you had achieved our longer term aspirations of being EBITDA positive, exiting 2027, be free cash flow positive in 2028. That's, I think, a really important element to make sure that investors and analysts alike understand. We are committed. In fact, if anything, we're infused with the increasing demand for our product and see opportunity to actually potentially achieve some of those targets earlier than we had previously anticipated, despite our investment here in 2026.

Speaker #1: And Miles, just. I'm sorry. It's Dylan. I think just to touch on your second part of your question, if I understood it, correctly, we're seeing tremendous demand on the propulsion missile defense side across multiple programs.

Speaker #1: So I think part of what I would want to communicate on that is in addition to next-generation interceptor, our technology is quite relevant to other programs.

Speaker #1: And whether it's THAAD or PAC-3 or some of these others, and so two things are happening. One is our technology continues to be relevant to being specced in on those programs.

Myles Walton: Okay.

Myles Walton: Okay.

Of those. And so we're we're going to continue to invest in growing our business. We see a strong as signal as, as Dylan mentioned earlier uh from the marketplace that that's going to continue. It's not just a short-term duration. Uh so we're going to continue to invest in our business here in 2026 important too is as we start to scale and grow through the back half of this year, we anticipate to still. If you would achieve our longer term aspirations of being, even the positive exiting 2027 be free, cash flow positive in 2028 and so that's I think it really important element to make sure that investors analysts alike. Understand we are committed. In fact, if anything we're infused with the increasing demand for our product and see opportunity to actually potentially achieve some of those, um, some of those targets earlier than we had previously anticipated, despite our investment here in 2026

Dylan Taylor: Myles, just-

Dylan Taylor: Myles, just-

Speaker #1: And then the second part is the demand for those let's say the quantities under those programs are increasing, giving the geopolitical circumstances in the world.

Myles Walton: Yeah, go ahead.

Myles Walton: Yeah, go ahead.

Dylan Taylor: Sorry. It's Dylan. I think just to touch on your second part of your question, if I understood it correctly. We're seeing tremendous demand on the propulsion missile defense side across multiple programs. I think, you know, part of what I would want to communicate on that is in addition to Next Generation Interceptor, our technology is quite relevant to other programs. You know, whether it's THAAD, PAC-3, or some of these others. Two things are happening. One is our technology continues to be relevant to being spec'd in on those programs. The second part is the demand for those, let's say, the quantities under those programs are increasing, given the geopolitical circumstances in the world.

Dylan Taylor: Sorry. It's Dylan. I think just to touch on your second part of your question, if I understood it correctly. We're seeing tremendous demand on the propulsion missile defense side across multiple programs. I think, you know, part of what I would want to communicate on that is in addition to Next Generation Interceptor, our technology is quite relevant to other programs. You know, whether it's THAAD, PAC-3, or some of these others. Two things are happening. One is our technology continues to be relevant to being spec'd in on those programs. The second part is the demand for those, let's say, the quantities under those programs are increasing, given the geopolitical circumstances in the world.

Okay, just yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry. It's it's it's still on. I think just to touch on your second part of your question. If I if I understood it, uh,

Speaker #1: And then touching on another part of your question, which is, is there non-dilutive funding and/or milestone payments available for these programs? The answer to that is yes.

Speaker #1: And we're absolutely driving that and expect some additional detail and announcements on that as we roll forward into 2026. But right now, we're not communicating any of that quite yet.

Speaker #1: We're not in a position to do so. But you're absolutely right. There is a lot of non-dilutive funding available to accelerate not only these programs, but the quantities on these programs.

Correctly. We're seeing tremendous Demand on the propulsion missile defense side, uh, across multiple programs. So I think, you know, part of part of what I would want to communicate on that is, in addition to the Next Generation Interceptor, our technology is quite relevant to other programs and um, you know, whether it's sad or Pack 3 or some of these others. And so, 2, things are happening, 1 is our technology

Speaker #1: So we're very optimistic that that's going to be very beneficial as we look to scale our propulsion technology as well.

Dylan Taylor: Touching on another part of your question, which is there non-dilutive funding and/or milestone payments available for these programs? The answer to that is yes. We're absolutely driving that and expect, you know, some additional detail and announcements on that as we roll forward into 2026. Right now we're not communicating any of that quite yet. We're not in a position to do so. You're absolutely right. There is a lot of non-dilutive funding available to accelerate not only these programs, but the quantities on these programs. We're very optimistic that that's gonna be very beneficial as we look to scale our propulsion technology as well.

Continues to be, uh, relevant to being expected on those programs. And then the second part is the demand for those, uh, let's say, the quantities under those programs are increasing, given the geopolitical circumstances in the world.

Dylan Taylor: Touching on another part of your question, which is there non-dilutive funding and/or milestone payments available for these programs? The answer to that is yes. We're absolutely driving that and expect, you know, some additional detail and announcements on that as we roll forward into 2026. Right now we're not communicating any of that quite yet. We're not in a position to do so. You're absolutely right. There is a lot of non-dilutive funding available to accelerate not only these programs, but the quantities on these programs. We're very optimistic that that's gonna be very beneficial as we look to scale our propulsion technology as well.

Speaker #4: Yep. Yeah, that was the question, Dylan. Thank you. And just one follow-up, if I could. The Starlab percentage ownership at this point by Voyager following the fundraising?

Um and then touching on another part of your question which is is there non-dilutive funding and or Milestone payments available for these programs? The answer to that. Yes. And we're absolutely driving that and expect

Speaker #4: Where does that sit today?

Speaker #1: I believe we can get you an exact number, Miles, but I believe we're sitting at.

Speaker #4: About 60%.

Speaker #1: Yeah. It's right just north of 60%. I think it's 61 last time I checked, but we can get you a precise number.

You know, some additional detail and announcements on that as we roll forward into 2026. But right now we're not we're not communicating any of that quite yet. We're not in a position to do so, but but you're absolutely right. There is a lot of non-dilutive.

Speaker #4: That's perfect. Thank you.

Speaker #1: Sure. Thanks, Miles.

Speaker #3: Your next question comes from the line of Seth Seifman with JPMorgan. Please go ahead.

Speaker #5: Good morning. This is Rockhorn for Seth. How should we think about growth in defense and national security next year? Should NGI remain the main growth driver, or are there other growth drivers that should be called out?

Myles Walton: Yep. Yeah, that was the question, Dylan. Thank you. Just one follow-up, if I could. The Starlab percentage ownership at this point by Voyager, following the fundraising, where does that sit today?

Myles Walton: Yep. Yeah, that was the question, Dylan. Thank you. Just one follow-up, if I could. The Starlab percentage ownership at this point by Voyager, following the fundraising, where does that sit today?

Funding available to accelerate not only these programs but the quantities on these programs. Uh, so we're very optimistic that that uh uh, you know, that that's going to be very beneficial as we look to scale our propulsion technology as well.

Speaker #5: Yeah, in '26.

Yep. Yeah that was the question Dylan. Thank you and just a 1 follow up. If I could the Star Lab um percentage ownership at this point by Voyager following the the fundraising um where is that fit today?

Dylan Taylor: I believe we can get you an exact number, Myles, but I believe we're sitting at.

Dylan Taylor: I believe we can get you an exact number, Myles, but I believe we're sitting at.

Speaker #1: Yeah. No, it's really across the board. So NGI for sure on the propulsion side of things. That's a big part of it. I wish I could give you more specificity on the golden dome in general, but there are a lot of programs associated with golden dome that are being specced in currently.

Filipe De Sousa: About 60%.

Filipe De Sousa: About 60%.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. It's right just north of 60%. I think it's 61 last time I checked, but we can get you a precise number.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. It's right just north of 60%. I think it's 61 last time I checked, but we can get you a precise number.

Myles Walton: That's perfect. Thank you.

Myles Walton: That's perfect. Thank you.

I believe we can get you an exact number miles but I believe we're sending it about 60%. Yeah. It's it's alright. Just north of 60%. I think it's 61 last time I checked but we can get you a precise number.

Dylan Taylor: Sure. Thanks, Myles.

Dylan Taylor: Sure. Thanks, Myles.

That's perfect. Thank you.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Seth Seifman with J.P. Morgan. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Seth Seifman with J.P. Morgan. Please go ahead.

Sure. Thanks Mom.

Speaker #1: Those announcements award announcements haven't been made public yet. But rest assured, our technology is quite relevant. Two of those various programs. So stay tuned on that.

Rocco: Good morning. This is Rocco on for Seth.

Rocco Mastrangelo: Good morning. This is Rocco on for Seth.

Your next question comes from the line of Seth Sesemann with JP Morgan. Please go ahead.

Good morning. This is rock on for Seth.

Rocco: How should we think about growth in Defense and National Security next year? Should NGI remain the main growth driver or are there other growth drivers that should be called out?

Rocco Mastrangelo: How should we think about growth in Defense and National Security next year? Should NGI remain the main growth driver or are there other growth drivers that should be called out?

Speaker #1: And then as I mentioned earlier, in addition to the propulsion technology, we're seeing huge demand signal on the advanced electronics part of our business.

How should, how should we think about growth in defense and National Security? Next year, should ngi remain the main growth driver? Or are there other growth drivers? That should be called out.

Dylan Taylor: In 2026?

Dylan Taylor: In 2026?

Rocco: Yeah, in 2026.

Rocco Mastrangelo: Yeah, in 2026.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. No, it's really across the board. NGI for sure on the propulsion side of things, that's a big part of it. I wish I could give you more specificity on the Golden Dome in general, but there are a lot of programs associated with Golden Dome that are being spec'd in currently. Those announcements, award announcements, haven't been made public yet. But rest assured our technology is quite relevant to those various programs. Stay tuned on that. As I mentioned earlier, in addition to the propulsion technology, we're seeing huge demand signal on the advanced electronics part of our business, which is really foundational to a lot of defense programs in general. Then the energetics side, as I mentioned, advanced communications and sensing.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. No, it's really across the board. NGI for sure on the propulsion side of things, that's a big part of it. I wish I could give you more specificity on the Golden Dome in general, but there are a lot of programs associated with Golden Dome that are being spec'd in currently. Those announcements, award announcements, haven't been made public yet. But rest assured our technology is quite relevant to those various programs. Stay tuned on that. As I mentioned earlier, in addition to the propulsion technology, we're seeing huge demand signal on the advanced electronics part of our business, which is really foundational to a lot of defense programs in general. Then the energetics side, as I mentioned, advanced communications and sensing.

In 26. Yeah. In 26.

Speaker #1: Which is really foundational to a lot of defense programs in general. And then the energetic side, as I mentioned, and then advanced communications and sensing.

Speaker #1: So a lot of our Signet, data processing, the SIS mostly in the intelligence community and classified programs, we're seeing strong demand signals there as well.

Speaker #1: So yeah, it's really across the board. With an emphasis, I would say, on propulsion. Phil, would you add anything to that?

Speaker #4: Yeah, I'd certainly well, one, I'd want to remind everybody how national security portfolio is today, especially with the strategic acquisitions of Exeterra and Estes.

Speaker #4: And the back half of last year. So to kind of reframe certainly, this past fourth quarter NGI was a significant driver of our growth.

Sure, on the propulsion side of things. Uh, that's a big part of it. Uh I wish I could give you a more specificity on the golden dome in general, but there are a lot of programs associated with golden dome that are being spec in currently uh those announcements award announcements haven't been made public yet. Uh but rest assured. Our technology is quite relevant uh to those various programs. Uh, so stay tuned on that. And then, as I mentioned earlier, in addition, to the propulsion technology, we're seeing huge demand signal on the advanced electronics, part of our business.

which is really foundational to a lot of Defense programs in general, and then the energetic side as I mentioned, and then, um,

Dylan Taylor: A lot of our SIGINT data processing, this sits mostly in the intelligence community and classified programs. We're seeing strong demand signals there as well. Yeah, it's really across the board with an emphasis, I would say, on propulsion. Phil, would you add anything to that?

Dylan Taylor: A lot of our SIGINT data processing, this sits mostly in the intelligence community and classified programs. We're seeing strong demand signals there as well. Yeah, it's really across the board with an emphasis, I would say, on propulsion. Phil, would you add anything to that?

Speaker #4: NGI actually grew over 100% year over year in Q4. NGI was up about 100% year over year in the calendar year 2025. As we enter 2026, bear in mind about 200 million dollars of our backlog sits in within defense and national security.

Advanced communications and sensing. So, a lot of our Signet data processing—this is mostly in the intelligence community and classified programs—we're seeing strong demand signals there as well.

Filipe De Sousa: Yeah, I'd certainly. Well, one, I'd wanna remind everybody how diversified our Defense and National Security portfolio is today, especially with the strategic acquisitions of ExoTerra and Estes in the back half of last year. To kind of reframe, certainly this past Q4, NGI was a significant driver of our growth. NGI actually grew over 100% year-over-year in Q4. NGI was up about 100% year-over-year in the calendar year 2025. As we enter 2026, bear in mind, about $200 million of our backlog sits within Defense and National Security, and only about 25% of that is actually tied to NGI, which is fantastic.

Filipe De Sousa: Yeah, I'd certainly. Well, one, I'd wanna remind everybody how diversified our Defense and National Security portfolio is today, especially with the strategic acquisitions of ExoTerra and Estes in the back half of last year. To kind of reframe, certainly this past Q4, NGI was a significant driver of our growth. NGI actually grew over 100% year-over-year in Q4. NGI was up about 100% year-over-year in the calendar year 2025. As we enter 2026, bear in mind, about $200 million of our backlog sits within Defense and National Security, and only about 25% of that is actually tied to NGI, which is fantastic.

Speaker #4: And only about 25% of that is actually tied to NGI, which is fantastic program as a base. And we look forward to the scaling of that program as we move from design phase here in 2026 into low-rate production and high-rate production in 2027, 2028, respectively.

Speaker #4: But just as a key reminder to investors, we are far more diversified than just next-generation interceptor. As important a program as it is to us.

Speaker #1: Yeah. Now, just final point I would make is, again, record backlog. And that record backlog is based upon record pipeline. So we really like the visibility we're seeing in the demand drivers we're seeing.

Uh, so yeah, it's really across the board. Uh, with an emphasis I would say on propulsion. Phil would you add anything to that? Yeah, I I certainly well 1. I'd want to remind everybody. How Diversified our defense National Security portfolio is today, especially with the Strategic Acquisitions of exoterra and nasties uh, in the back half of last year. So uh, to kind of reframe. Uh, certainly this past uh fourth quarter ngi was a significant driver of our growth. Uh ngi actually grew over 100% year-over-year in Q4.

Uh, ngi was up about 100% year-over-year in the calendar year 2025, as we enter 2026.

Speaker #1: And as a management team, the way we think about value creation is build pipeline, that's why we're super excited about the record pipeline, make sure that we turn that into backlog.

Bear in mind, about $200 million of our backlog.

Filipe De Sousa: Program is the base, and we look forward to the scaling of that program as we move from design phase here in 2026 into low rate production and high rate production in 2027, 2028 respectively. Just as a key reminder to investors, we are far more diversified than just next generation interceptor, as important a program as it is to us.

Filipe De Sousa: Program is the base, and we look forward to the scaling of that program as we move from design phase here in 2026 into low rate production and high rate production in 2027, 2028 respectively. Just as a key reminder to investors, we are far more diversified than just next generation interceptor, as important a program as it is to us.

Speaker #1: And of course, we're at record backlog, which then, of course, transfers into revenue, EBITDA, and then cash flow. So the funnel Rocco is just tremendous.

Speaker #1: And we're super bullish about the demand signals that we're seeing.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. This final point I would make is, again, record backlog. That record backlog is based upon record pipeline. We really like the visibility we're seeing and the demand drivers we're seeing. You know, as a management team, the way we think about value creation is build pipeline. That's why we're super excited about the record pipeline. Make sure that we turn that into backlog. Of course, with record backlog, which then of course transfers into revenue, EBITDA, and then cash flow. The funnel, Rocco, is just tremendous, and we're super bullish about the demand signals that we're seeing.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. This final point I would make is, again, record backlog. That record backlog is based upon record pipeline. We really like the visibility we're seeing and the demand drivers we're seeing. You know, as a management team, the way we think about value creation is build pipeline. That's why we're super excited about the record pipeline. Make sure that we turn that into backlog. Of course, with record backlog, which then of course transfers into revenue, EBITDA, and then cash flow. The funnel, Rocco, is just tremendous, and we're super bullish about the demand signals that we're seeing.

It sits within the Defense and National Security segment, and only about 25% of that is actually tied to NGI, which is a fantastic program as a base, and we look forward to the scaling of that program. As we move from the design phase here in 2026 into low rate production, and high rate production in 2027 and 2028, respectively. But just as a key reminder to investors, we are far more diversified than just Next Generation Interceptor, as important a program as it is to us.

Speaker #5: Right. And digging into that funded backlog in defense and national security, I mean, it's over doubled, quarter over quarter. Should we think about the kind of unannounced golden dome awards as being the primary driver there of the growth, or is there another kind of program to call out?

Speaker #1: Yeah. It's not included. It's not included. So think of this as things that have been announced. And things that haven't been announced are not yet in those numbers.

Yeah. And I, this final point I would make is again record backlog and, uh, that that record backlogs based upon record pipeline. So, we really like the visibility we're seeing in the demand drivers. We're seeing and you know, as a management team, the way we think about, uh, value creation is build pipeline. That that's why we're super excited about the record pipeline. Make sure that we turn that into, uh, backlog,

Speaker #4: I know back to the initial question from Ron. Asking us about the confidence in our visibility issues, in our revenue guy for 2026. And obviously, it starts with that record backlog position.

And, of course, we're at record backlog, which then, of course, transfers into revenue, EBA, and then cash flow.

Speaker #4: But it's also if you would and I don't mean to sound overly enthusiastic. I'm supposed to be the CFO and more of the realist here.

So, the funnel, Rocco, is just tremendous, and we're super bullish about the demand symbols that we're seeing.

Rocco: Right. Digging into that funded backlog in Defense and National Security, I mean, it's over doubled quarter-over-quarter. Should we think about the kind of unannounced Golden Dome awards as being the primary driver thereof the growth, or is there another kind of program to call out?

Rocco Mastrangelo: Right. Digging into that funded backlog in Defense and National Security, I mean, it's over doubled quarter-over-quarter. Should we think about the kind of unannounced Golden Dome awards as being the primary driver thereof the growth, or is there another kind of program to call out?

Speaker #4: But in the room. But we are tremendously excited by the pipeline and how that's going to crystallize for us over the course of the not just first half of this year, but even as we extend out to the back half of the year.

Right? And and digging into that funded backlog and defense is not security. I mean, it's over doubled quarter over quarter. So we think about the kind of unannounced golden dome Awards as being the primary driver there of the growth or

Is there another kind of program to call out?

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. It's not included. Think of this as things that have been announced and things that haven't been announced or not yet in those numbers.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. It's not included. Think of this as things that have been announced and things that haven't been announced or not yet in those numbers.

Speaker #4: We know this administration is going to be heavy into upping the defense budget, the defense allocations, if you would. And clearly, a lot of the onshoring demand that we're excited about is not reflected in this backlog.

Yeah, um, it's not included, it's not included. So, thank you for this, as uh—

Filipe De Sousa: Back to the initial question from Ron asking us about the confidence in our visibility, I should say, in our revenue guide for 2026. Obviously it starts with that record backlog position. It's also, if you would, and I don't mean to sound overly enthusiastic, I'm supposed to be the CFO and more of the realist here, but in the room. We are tremendously excited by the pipeline and how that's going to crystallize for us over the course of not just the first half of this year, but even as we extend out to the back half of the year. We know this administration's gonna be heavy into upping the defense budget, the defense allocations, if you would.

Filipe De Sousa: Back to the initial question from Ron asking us about the confidence in our visibility, I should say, in our revenue guide for 2026. Obviously it starts with that record backlog position. It's also, if you would, and I don't mean to sound overly enthusiastic, I'm supposed to be the CFO and more of the realist here, but in the room. We are tremendously excited by the pipeline and how that's going to crystallize for us over the course of not just the first half of this year, but even as we extend out to the back half of the year. We know this administration's gonna be heavy into upping the defense budget, the defense allocations, if you would.

Speaker #4: It's all in front of us in terms of order opportunity for us into '26. We have to get through 2026 to first. But as we look out to 2027, it will make for yet another acceleration in growth profile.

Speaker #4: For Voyager.

Speaker #5: Great. Thank you.

Speaker #1: Thank you.

Speaker #3: Your next question comes from the line of Justin Lang with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.

Speaker #4: Good morning. I'm on for good morning. I'm on for Christine today. Thanks. Thanks for taking the questions. Appreciate all the detail at the top on Estes.

Filipe De Sousa: Clearly a lot of the onshoring, demand that we're excited about is not reflected in this backlog. It's all in front of us in terms of order opportunity for us into our 2026. We have to get through 2026 to, you know, first, but as we look out to 2027, it will make for yet another acceleration in growth profile for Voyager.

Filipe De Sousa: Clearly a lot of the onshoring, demand that we're excited about is not reflected in this backlog. It's all in front of us in terms of order opportunity for us into our 2026. We have to get through 2026 to, you know, first, but as we look out to 2027, it will make for yet another acceleration in growth profile for Voyager.

Speaker #4: I was hoping you could provide a little more color on how that business factors into your '26 outlook and how you think about synergy capture from here.

Speaker #4: And we've heard a lot about fragility within the missile propulsion supply base. So just curious if you could size maybe the magnitude of investment required to build out capacity in that business.

Thanks to have been announced and things that haven't been announced or not yet in those numbers. I know, back to the uh, to the initial question from Ron, uh, asking us about the confidence in in uh, in our in our visibility issue. So in our Revenue guy for 2026 and obviously it starts with that record backlog position, but it's also, if you would, um, and I don't mean to sound overly enthusiastic. I'm supposed to be the CFO and more of the realest here, but in the room, but we are tremendously excited by the pipeline and how that's going to crystallize for us. Over the course, of the not just first half of this year, but as even as we extend out to the back after the year, we know this Administration is going to be heavy into upping. Uh, the defense budget, uh, the defense allocations if you would. And clearly a lot of the onshoring, uh, demand that we're excited about is not reflected in this backlog. It's all in front of us in terms of order opportunity, first and 2026. Um, we have to get through 2026 to, you know, first. Uh, but as we look out to 2027, it will make

Speaker #4: And then I have a follow-up. Thanks.

For yet another, uh, acceleration in growth profile, uh, for Voyager.

Rocco: Great. Thank you.

Rocco Mastrangelo: Great. Thank you.

Speaker #1: Yeah. So I'll take a stab at that and I'll pass it over to Phil, Especially to talk about the cost portion , but yeah , the energetics portion of our business is going to be increasingly strategic and critical .

Great. Thank you.

Dylan Taylor: Thank you.

Dylan Taylor: Thank you.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Justin Long with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Justin Long with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.

Thank you.

Your next question comes from the line of Justin Lange with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.

Filipe De Sousa: Good morning, Justin.

Filipe De Sousa: Good morning, Justin.

Justin Long: Yeah. Good morning. I'm on for Kristine today. Thanks. Thanks for taking the questions.

Justin Long: Yeah. Good morning. I'm on for Kristine today. Thanks. Thanks for taking the questions.

Speaker #1: If you look at the value chain for propulsion and missile defense in general , but also factoring into things like munitions , which is another key focus of the administration within that value chain , energetics is one of the key components , not only from a value capture standpoint , but also as a critical supply chain input And it's at the confluence of not only the fact that this is essential to make these systems work , but it's also at the confluence of the administration's priority for critical chemicals , which is the same strategic orientation that they had toward towards critical minerals like antimony and things like that .

Dylan Taylor: You bet.

Dylan Taylor: You bet.

Justin Long: Appreciate all the detail at the top on Estes. I was hoping you could provide a little more color on how that business factors into your 2026 outlook and how you think about synergy capture from here. We've heard a lot about fragility within the missile propulsion supply base. Just curious if you could size maybe the magnitude of investment required to build out capacity in that business. I have a follow-up. Thanks.

Justin Long: Appreciate all the detail at the top on Estes. I was hoping you could provide a little more color on how that business factors into your 2026 outlook and how you think about synergy capture from here. We've heard a lot about fragility within the missile propulsion supply base. Just curious if you could size maybe the magnitude of investment required to build out capacity in that business. I have a follow-up. Thanks.

Thanks.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. I'll take a stab at that, and I'll pass it over to Phil, especially to talk about the cost portion. Yeah, the energetics portion of our business is going to be increasingly strategic and critical. If you look at the value chain for, you know, propulsion in missile defense in general, but also factoring into things like munitions, which is another key focus of the administration. Within that value chain, energetics is one of the key components, not only from a value capture standpoint, but also as a critical supply chain input. It's at the confluence of not only the fact that this is essential to make these systems work, but it's also at the confluence of the administration's priority for critical chemicals, which is strategic orientation that they had toward critical minerals like antimony and things like that.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. I'll take a stab at that, and I'll pass it over to Phil, especially to talk about the cost portion. Yeah, the energetics portion of our business is going to be increasingly strategic and critical. If you look at the value chain for, you know, propulsion in missile defense in general, but also factoring into things like munitions, which is another key focus of the administration. Within that value chain, energetics is one of the key components, not only from a value capture standpoint, but also as a critical supply chain input. It's at the confluence of not only the fact that this is essential to make these systems work, but it's also at the confluence of the administration's priority for critical chemicals, which is strategic orientation that they had toward critical minerals like antimony and things like that.

Speaker #1: So that's a key focus . It also is at the confluence of Onshoring , because a lot of these energetics are currently not made in the US So there's a few factors here .

Speaker #1: One is we can control more of the production inputs , which gives us more control over the supply chain , which ultimately gives us speed to market , which is what the customer is asking for Furthermore , it allows us to build out this Voyager ADC , the American Defense Complex , which is relevant to all of our propulsion technologies There's actually some CapEx offset with this .

Speaker #1: This energetics acquisition . We made . We're we're able to use some of their facilities to offset some CapEx that we had anticipated with our with our tDCS technology .

Dylan Taylor: That's a key focus. It also is at the confluence of onshoring, 'cause a lot of these energetics are currently not made in the US. There's a few factors here. One is we can control more of the production inputs, which gives us more control over the supply chain, which ultimately gives us speed to market, which is what the customer's asking for. Furthermore, it allows us to build out this Voyager ADC, the American Defense Complex, which is relevant to all of our propulsion technologies. There's actually some CapEx offset with this Estes Energetics acquisition we made, where we're able to use some of their facilities to offset some CapEx that we had anticipated with our TDACS technology. We're super excited about that.

Dylan Taylor: That's a key focus. It also is at the confluence of onshoring, 'cause a lot of these energetics are currently not made in the US. There's a few factors here. One is we can control more of the production inputs, which gives us more control over the supply chain, which ultimately gives us speed to market, which is what the customer's asking for. Furthermore, it allows us to build out this Voyager ADC, the American Defense Complex, which is relevant to all of our propulsion technologies. There's actually some CapEx offset with this Estes Energetics acquisition we made, where we're able to use some of their facilities to offset some CapEx that we had anticipated with our TDACS technology. We're super excited about that.

Yeah, so I'll take a stab at that, and I'll pass it over to Phil, especially to talk about the, the cost portion. But yeah, the energetics portion of our business is going to be increasingly strategic and critical. If you look at the value chain for, you know, propulsion and missile defense in general, but also factoring into things like munitions, which is another key focus of the administration within that value chain, energetics is one of the key components—not only from a value capture standpoint, but also as a critical supply chain input. And it's at the confluence of not only the fact that this is essential to make these systems work, but it's also at the confluence of the administration's priority for critical chemicals, which is the same strategic orientation that they had toward critical minerals like antimony and things like that.

Speaker #1: So we're super excited about that . And then the other thing , which isn't in our numbers , but we're still , I think , very optimistic about is all of this is eligible for Non-dilutive funding from the government under this critical chemicals framework .

So that's a key Focus. Uh it also is at the Confluence of onshoring because a lot of these energetics are currently not made in the US

Speaker #1: And Onshoring framework . So I think that's another opportunity for value capture and CapEx offset . So when you think about this Voyager American defense complex and what it supporting , it's not only supporting the energetics business , which is a critical input , it's setting us up for scaled production for our entire propulsion technology suite .

So, there's a few factors here. One is: we can control more of the production inputs, which gives us more control over the supply chain, which ultimately gives us speed to market—uh, which is what the customer is asking for. Furthermore, it allows us to, uh, build out this Voyager ADC, the American Defense Complex, which is relevant to all of our propulsion technologies.

Uh, there's actually some CapEx offset.

Speaker #1: So think of this as a foundational investment that's going to lead to huge scaling and upside on the revenue side for propulsion . More generally .

Dylan Taylor: The other thing which isn't in our numbers, but we're still, I think, very optimistic about, is all of this is eligible for non-dilutive funding from the government, you know, under this critical chemicals framework and onshoring framework. I think that's another opportunity for value capture and CapEx offset. When you think about this, Voyager American Defense Complex and what it's supporting, it's not only supporting the energetics business, which is a critical input, it's setting us up for scaled production for our entire propulsion technology suite. Think of this as a foundational investment that's gonna lead to huge scaling and upside on the revenue side for propulsion more generally. We're super excited about that.

Dylan Taylor: The other thing which isn't in our numbers, but we're still, I think, very optimistic about, is all of this is eligible for non-dilutive funding from the government, you know, under this critical chemicals framework and onshoring framework. I think that's another opportunity for value capture and CapEx offset. When you think about this, Voyager American Defense Complex and what it's supporting, it's not only supporting the energetics business, which is a critical input, it's setting us up for scaled production for our entire propulsion technology suite. Think of this as a foundational investment that's gonna lead to huge scaling and upside on the revenue side for propulsion more generally. We're super excited about that.

Speaker #1: So we're super excited about that . I think it's going to be ultimately , you know , a critical competitive advantage . And moats that we're going to have that other providers are not going to have And again , I think it's completely aligned with the administrator's administration's goals , stated goals for these critical inputs as well .

With this, um, SD Synergetics acquisition we made, we're, uh, we're able to use some of their facilities to offset some CapEx that we had anticipated with our, uh, with our TDX technology. So, we're super excited about that. And then the other thing, which isn't in our numbers but we're still, I think very optimistic about, is all of this is eligible for non-dilutive, uh, funding from the government, you know, under this critical chemicals framework and onshoring framework.

So I think that's another opportunity for Value capture uh and capex offset. So when you think about this,

Speaker #1: So with that , I'll pass it over to Phil .

Speaker #2: Yeah . And again , thanks for the question . So and one thing I think I'd really start by highlighting is , as we acquired these businesses , the first thing that Voyager looks to do is , is integrate the businesses into our portfolio .

The Voyager American defense complex and what it's supporting—it's not only supporting the energetics business, which is a critical input. It's setting us up for scale production for our entire propulsion technology suite.

Speaker #2: So don't think of these as a standalone operation kind of going forward , we will quickly integrate them . As Dylan mentioned , it's not just sees , it's exoteric , it's our former predecessor , Valley Tech business .

Dylan Taylor: I think it's gonna be ultimately, you know, a critical competitive advantage and moats that we're gonna have that other providers are not gonna have. Again, I think it's completely aligned with the administrator's administration's goals, stated goals, for these critical inputs as well. With that, I'll pass it over to Phil.

Dylan Taylor: I think it's gonna be ultimately, you know, a critical competitive advantage and moats that we're gonna have that other providers are not gonna have. Again, I think it's completely aligned with the administrator's administration's goals, stated goals, for these critical inputs as well. With that, I'll pass it over to Phil.

Speaker #2: It's all really part of our strategic defense portfolio . And so Estes , along with Exo Terra , it's there's nothing but strengthen our vertical integration around propulsion .

I was thinking this is a foundational investment that's going to lead to huge, uh, scaling and upside on the revenue side for propulsion more generally. So we're super excited about that. I think it's going to be, ultimately, uh, you know, a critical competitive advantage and moats that we're going to have that other providers are not going to have.

Speaker #2: It's tied to multiple growth drivers , including Golden Dome . Estes alone from an energetics perspective adds over $1 billion of opportunity to our pipeline .

Filipe De Sousa: Yeah. Good. Again, thanks for the question. One thing I think I'd really start by highlighting is, as we acquire these businesses, the first thing that Voyager looks to do is integrate the businesses into our portfolio. Don't think of these as a standalone operation kind of going forward. We will quickly integrate them. As Dylan mentioned, it's not just Estes, it's ExoTerra, it's our former predecessor, Valley Tech Systems business. It's all really part of our strategic defense portfolio. Estes, along with ExoTerra, this does nothing but strengthen our vertical integration around propulsion. It's tied to multiple growth drivers, including Golden Dome. Estes alone, from an energetics perspective, adds over $1 billion of opportunity to our pipeline.

Filipe De Sousa: Yeah. Good. Again, thanks for the question. One thing I think I'd really start by highlighting is, as we acquire these businesses, the first thing that Voyager looks to do is integrate the businesses into our portfolio. Don't think of these as a standalone operation kind of going forward. We will quickly integrate them. As Dylan mentioned, it's not just Estes, it's ExoTerra, it's our former predecessor, Valley Tech Systems business. It's all really part of our strategic defense portfolio. Estes, along with ExoTerra, this does nothing but strengthen our vertical integration around propulsion. It's tied to multiple growth drivers, including Golden Dome. Estes alone, from an energetics perspective, adds over $1 billion of opportunity to our pipeline.

And again I think it's completely aligned with the administrators administration's goals stated goals uh for these critical inputs as well. So we've got all passed over to them. So

Speaker #2: So again back to the backlog . $266 million entering the year . Very little of that tied to energetics . The opportunities all in front of us .

Speaker #2: We know the opportunity is real . The US government continues to call for it when we highlight 60 to $70 million of CapEx in 2026 .

Speaker #2: Of course , that's all . Excluding Starlab , a significant portion of that is going to be tied to the Voyager American defense complex .

Speaker #2: Again , it's not only specifically Estes or energetics related . It's also tied to propulsion . The broader propulsion portfolio and supporting our grander golden dome driver or growth drivers , I should say , and initiatives

Filipe De Sousa: Again, back to the backlog, $266 million entering the year, very little of that tied to energetics. The opportunity is all in front of us. We know the opportunity is real. The US government continues to call for it. When we highlight $60 to 70 million of CapEx in 2026, of course, that's all excluding Starlab, a significant portion of that is going to be tied to the Voyager American Defense Complex. Again, it's not only specifically Estes or energetics related, it's also tied to propulsion, the broader propulsion portfolio, and supporting our grand R&D for Golden Dome driver or growth drivers, I should say, and initiatives.

Filipe De Sousa: Again, back to the backlog, $266 million entering the year, very little of that tied to energetics. The opportunity is all in front of us. We know the opportunity is real. The US government continues to call for it. When we highlight $60 to 70 million of CapEx in 2026, of course, that's all excluding Starlab, a significant portion of that is going to be tied to the Voyager American Defense Complex. Again, it's not only specifically Estes or energetics related, it's also tied to propulsion, the broader propulsion portfolio, and supporting our grand R&D for Golden Dome driver or growth drivers, I should say, and initiatives.

Speaker #3: Got it . That's great color . And then , sort of relatedly , just on Golden Dome , specifically as that opportunity set takes shape , just curious from the signal you're getting from the customer , if they're really stressing that industry sort of invest up front here and you're seeing maybe a pay to play type dynamic emerge , any color there would be would be helpful .

Yeah, uh and again, thanks for the question. So, uh, and 1 thing, I think I really start by highlighting is as we acquired these businesses. The first thing that Voyager looks to do is is that is integrate the businesses into our portfolio. So don't think of these as a standalone operation, kind of going forward, we will quickly integrate them. Uh, as Phil mentioned, it's not just SDS, it's exoterra. It's it's our former predecessor, Valley Tech business. It's all really part of our Strategic Defense, uh, portfolio and so SD is along with exoterra. It's not, there's nothing but strengthen our vertical integration around propulsion, it's tied to multiple, uh, growth drivers, including golden dome, uh, SDS alone. From an energetic perspective, adds over a billion dollars of opportunity to our pipeline. So again, back to the backlog 266 million and 2 of the Year, very little of that tied to energetics. Uh, the opportunity is all in front of us, we know the opportunities, real, the US government continues to call for it. When we highlight 60 to 70 million dollars of cash,

Speaker #1: Yeah . Well , again , record record pipeline about 1.6 billion of our record pipeline is associated with Golden Dome opportunities . So we're we're super bullish on the opportunity that we see in terms of procurement strategy , which is really I think , embedded in your question .

Capex in 2026. Of course. That's all excluding starlab. A significant portion of that is going to be tied to the Voyager American defense complex. Again, it's not only specifically, Estes or energetics related. It's also tied to propulsion. Uh, the broader propulsion portfolio and supporting our Grandeur fluid. Golden dome, uh, driver, our growth drivers, I should say, an initiative.

Speaker #1: We are seeing the customer , the Department of War , looking for new ways to incentivize commercial providers to not only expect the technology they need , but to move faster to develop these systems .

Dylan Taylor: Got it. That's great color. Sort of relatedly, just on Golden Dome specifically, as that opportunity set takes shape, just curious from, you know, the signal you're getting from the customer, if they're really stressing that industry sort of invest up front here and you're seeing maybe a pay-to-play type dynamic emerge. Any color there would be helpful. Yeah. Well, again, record pipeline. About $1.6 billion of our record pipeline is associated with Golden Dome opportunities. We're super bullish on the opportunity that we see.

Dylan Taylor: Got it. That's great color. Sort of relatedly, just on Golden Dome specifically, as that opportunity set takes shape, just curious from, you know, the signal you're getting from the customer, if they're really stressing that industry sort of invest up front here and you're seeing maybe a pay-to-play type dynamic emerge. Any color there would be helpful. Yeah. Well, again, record pipeline. About $1.6 billion of our record pipeline is associated with Golden Dome opportunities. We're super bullish on the opportunity that we see.

Speaker #1: And of course , that need is is urgent . I think that plays to our strengths . Right . Because we're more maneuverable , more entrepreneurial , more flexible , more adaptable than certainly the a lot of the legacy players in this space are .

Got it that that's a great color and then sort of relatedly. Uh, just on golden dome specifically, as that opportunity said, takes shape, just curious the signal, you're getting from the customer if they're really stressing that industry. Sort of invest up front here and you're seeing maybe a, a pay-to-play type Dynamic emerge. Any, any color that would be, would be helpful.

Speaker #1: So we actually welcome this . I would say creative procurement approach that the customer is asking for . And then ultimately , keep in mind the technologies that we're putting into play into Golden Dome have already passed things like critical design view with Critical Design on Next generation interceptor .

Dylan Taylor: In terms of the procurement strategy, which is really, I think, embedded in your question, we are seeing the customer or the Department of War looking for new ways to incentivize commercial providers to not only spec the technology they need, but to move faster to develop these systems. Of course, that need is urgent. I think that plays to our strengths, right? Because we're more maneuverable, more entrepreneurial, more flexible, more adaptable than certainly a lot of the legacy players in this space are. We actually welcome this, I would say, creative procurement approach that the customer is asking for. Ultimately, you know, keep in mind the technologies that we're putting into play into Golden Dome have already passed things like critical design review on Next Generation Interceptor. Right?

Dylan Taylor: In terms of the procurement strategy, which is really, I think, embedded in your question, we are seeing the customer or the Department of War looking for new ways to incentivize commercial providers to not only spec the technology they need, but to move faster to develop these systems. Of course, that need is urgent. I think that plays to our strengths, right? Because we're more maneuverable, more entrepreneurial, more flexible, more adaptable than certainly a lot of the legacy players in this space are. We actually welcome this, I would say, creative procurement approach that the customer is asking for. Ultimately, you know, keep in mind the technologies that we're putting into play into Golden Dome have already passed things like critical design review on Next Generation Interceptor. Right?

Which is really, I think embedded in your question, we are seeing uh, the customer of the Department of War looking for new ways to incentivize commercial providers.

To not only.

Speaker #1: So this is already proven technology . So even if it's a milestone based contract , we have a lot of confidence that the tech is already going to work as opposed to , let's say , developing systems that might have unproven technology being specked in .

Expect the technology they need but to move faster to develop these systems. Uh and of course that need is is urgent.

Speaker #1: We could be more specific on the Golden Dome , but currently we're not we're not able to talk specifically about the specifics of those contracts .

Speaker #1: But I would say , generally speaking , the customer is looking for new and innovative ways to procure that are disrupting the status quo approach .

I think that play store is strengths, right? Because we're more maneuverable more entrepreneurial more flexible. More adaptable than certainly, the a lot of the Legacy players in this space are so we actually welcome this. I would say creative, uh, procurement approach that the customer is asking for,

Um, and then ultimately, you know, keep in mind, the technologies that we're putting into play into Golden Dome have already passed things like critical design review with—

Speaker #2: I think if I could just double down , emphasize so think of not just the CapEx , but the innovation investment that we have planned for here in 2026 .

Dylan Taylor: This is already proven technology. Even if it's a milestone-based contract, we have a lot of confidence that the tech is already going to work, as opposed to, let's say, developing systems that might have unproven technology being specced in. We could be more specific on the Golden Dome, but, you know, currently we're not, we're not able to talk specifically about the specifics of those contracts. I would say generally speaking, the customer is looking for new and innovative ways to procure that are disrupting the status quo approach.

Dylan Taylor: This is already proven technology. Even if it's a milestone-based contract, we have a lot of confidence that the tech is already going to work, as opposed to, let's say, developing systems that might have unproven technology being specced in. We could be more specific on the Golden Dome, but, you know, currently we're not, we're not able to talk specifically about the specifics of those contracts. I would say generally speaking, the customer is looking for new and innovative ways to procure that are disrupting the status quo approach.

Speaker #2: It's extremely deliberate , and it's a deliberate investment ahead of growth , not ahead of opportunity . If we didn't have line of sight to orders in our pipeline , line of sight to larger programs that are scaling in terms of moving from design phase into production phase , we wouldn't be making these investments ahead of this growth .

Uh, critical design review on Next Generation Interceptor, right? So this is already proven technology. So even if it's a milestone based contract, we have a lot of confidence that the tech is already going to work. Uh, as opposed to, let's say developing systems that might have unproven technology to inspect and

Um, we could be more specific on the Golden Dome, but, you know, currently we're not—we're not able to talk specifically about it.

Speaker #2: So just to kind of reiterate our confidence in what that growth profile looks like , and of course , like Voyager has demonstrated years past , being ahead of the curve , if you will .

The specifics of those contracts. But I would say generally speaking,

Filipe De Sousa: I think, Dylan, if I could just double down to emphasize. Think of the not just the CapEx, but the innovation investment that we have planned for here in 2026. It's extremely deliberate, and it's a deliberate investment ahead of growth, not ahead of opportunity. If we didn't have line of sight to orders in our pipeline, line of sight to larger programs that are scaling in terms of moving from design phase into production phase, we wouldn't be making these investments ahead of this growth. It just kind of reiterate our confidence in what that growth profile looks like. And of course, like Voyager has demonstrated in years past, being ahead of the curve, if you would. Not necessarily waiting for the opportunities to knock on our door.

Filipe De Sousa: I think, Dylan, if I could just double down to emphasize. Think of the not just the CapEx, but the innovation investment that we have planned for here in 2026. It's extremely deliberate, and it's a deliberate investment ahead of growth, not ahead of opportunity. If we didn't have line of sight to orders in our pipeline, line of sight to larger programs that are scaling in terms of moving from design phase into production phase, we wouldn't be making these investments ahead of this growth. It just kind of reiterate our confidence in what that growth profile looks like. And of course, like Voyager has demonstrated in years past, being ahead of the curve, if you would. Not necessarily waiting for the opportunities to knock on our door.

Speaker #2: So not necessarily waiting for the opportunities to knock on our door . We are if you're positioning ourselves to capture a great share or a portion of that share of that market as it as it unveils and develops .

uh, the customer is looking for new and innovative ways to procure that are disrupting the status quo approach

I think if I could just double down and emphasized, so,

Speaker #2: Yeah . And I just .

Speaker #1: Want to emphasize one thing . Our record backlog does not include the upside from these Golden dome opportunities

Speaker #3: Perfect . Thank you

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from the line of Greg Conrad with Jefferies . Please go ahead

Speaker #5: Good morning .

Speaker #6: Maybe Greg .

Speaker #5: Morning . So so you spent a lot of time talking about the defense and national security side . If maybe we could talk about space solutions a little bit .

Speaker #5: I think you said , you know , now that some of the wind downs behind them , you expect it to return to growth in 2026 .

Filipe De Sousa: We are, if you would, positioning ourselves to capture a great share or portion of that share of that market as it unveils and it develops.

Filipe De Sousa: We are, if you would, positioning ourselves to capture a great share or portion of that share of that market as it unveils and it develops.

Speaker #5: You know , what do you see as the biggest drivers of that in any way to maybe quantify the growth expectations for space

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. I just want to emphasize one thing. Our record backlog does not include the upside from these Golden Dome opportunities.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. I just want to emphasize one thing. Our record backlog does not include the upside from these Golden Dome opportunities.

Speaker #2: Yes . So I'll take that , Greg . So just a reminder , right ? So fourth quarter revenue down entirely driven by the planned wind down of the NASA low margin services contract .

think of the not just the capex, but the Innovation investment that we have planned for here in 2026, it's extremely deliberate and it's a deliberate investment ahead of growth. Not ahead of opportunity. If we didn't have like a site to order in our pipeline line of sight to larger programs that are scaling in terms of moving from design phase into production phase, we wouldn't be making these Investments ahead of this growth. Uh, so it just, it kind of re re reiterate, uh, our confidence in what that growth profile looks like. Uh, and of course, like Voyager has demonstrated years past being ahead of the curve, if you would. So, not necessarily waiting for the opportunities to knock on our door. We, we are if you have position ourselves to capture a great share or portion of that share of that market as a, as a, as it unveils and it develops. Yeah. And I just want to emphasize 1 Thing. Our record backlog does not include the upside from these golden dome opportunities.

Filipe De Sousa: Perfect. Thank you.

Justin Long: Perfect. Thank you.

Perfect, thank you.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Greg Konrad with Jefferies. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Greg Konrad with Jefferies. Please go ahead.

Greg Konrad: Good morning.

Greg Konrad: Good morning.

Your next question comes from the line of Greg Conrad with Jeffrey's. Please go ahead.

Uh, good morning.

Dylan Taylor: Morning, Greg.

Dylan Taylor: Morning, Greg.

Speaker #2: So as we if you had reset 2026 , we see continued demand for mission management services on the ES as it certainly continues to operate today .

Greg Konrad: Morning. You've spent a lot of time talking about the Defense and National Security side. If maybe we could talk about Space Solutions a little bit. I think you said, you know, now that some of the wind down's behind them, you expect it to return to growth in 2026. You know, what do you see as the biggest drivers of that, and any way to maybe quantify the growth expectations for space?

Greg Konrad: Morning. You've spent a lot of time talking about the Defense and National Security side. If maybe we could talk about Space Solutions a little bit. I think you said, you know, now that some of the wind down's behind them, you expect it to return to growth in 2026. You know, what do you see as the biggest drivers of that, and any way to maybe quantify the growth expectations for space?

uh, maybe

Speaker #2: And think of that as the bridge to Starlab , which we're already seeing continuous demand . And in fact , we know it's our current mission management services customer relationships , managing things on the International Space Station today that's leading to that overbooked , if you would commercial demand that we're seeing on Starlab already .

Morning. Um, so, so you spent a lot of time talking about the Defense and National Security side. If, if maybe we could talk about Space Solutions a little bit. I think you said, you know, now that some of the wind-down's behind them, you expect it to return to growth in 2026. You know, what do you see as the biggest drivers of that, and any way to maybe quantify the growth expectations for Space?

Filipe De Sousa: Yeah. I'll take that, Greg. Just a reminder, right? Q4 revenue down entirely driven by the planned wind down of the NASA low margin services contract. As we reset 2026, we see continued demand for mission management services on the ISS as it certainly continues to operate today. Think of that as the bridge to Starlab, which we're already seeing continuous demand. In fact, we know it's our current mission management services customer relationships managing things on the International Space Station today that's leading to that overbooked, if you would, commercial demand that we're seeing on Starlab already.

Filipe De Sousa: Yeah. I'll take that, Greg. Just a reminder, right? Q4 revenue down entirely driven by the planned wind down of the NASA low margin services contract. As we reset 2026, we see continued demand for mission management services on the ISS as it certainly continues to operate today. Think of that as the bridge to Starlab, which we're already seeing continuous demand. In fact, we know it's our current mission management services customer relationships managing things on the International Space Station today that's leading to that overbooked, if you would, commercial demand that we're seeing on Starlab already.

Speaker #2: So as we kind of look out to 20 , 26 and 2027 , we continue to see low Earth orbit as a demand driver looking out even beyond certainly the focus on lunar .

Speaker #2: And perhaps we can talk a little bit about the announcement we've made today in that space and how that lends itself to that .

Speaker #2: I think that there's upside opportunity in space solutions . I look forward to seeing it return to growth in 2026 . I'll be it modest , relative to our defense .

Speaker #2: National security business , which is supported by a tremendous amount of backlog entering the year . But make no mistake , Space Solutions continues to be a growth driver and a growth focus for Voyager .

Filipe De Sousa: As we kind of look out to 2026 and 2027, we continue to see low Earth orbit as a demand driver. Looking out even beyond, certainly the focus on lunar. Perhaps we can talk a little bit about the announcement we made today in that space and how that lends itself to that. I think that there's upside opportunity in Space Solutions. I look forward to seeing it return to growth in 2026, albeit modest relative to our Defense and National Security business, which is supported by a tremendous amount of backlog entering the year. Make no mistake, Space Solutions continues to be a growth driver and a growth focus for Voyager.

Filipe De Sousa: As we kind of look out to 2026 and 2027, we continue to see low Earth orbit as a demand driver. Looking out even beyond, certainly the focus on lunar. Perhaps we can talk a little bit about the announcement we made today in that space and how that lends itself to that. I think that there's upside opportunity in Space Solutions. I look forward to seeing it return to growth in 2026, albeit modest relative to our Defense and National Security business, which is supported by a tremendous amount of backlog entering the year. Make no mistake, Space Solutions continues to be a growth driver and a growth focus for Voyager.

Speaker #1: Yeah , and I would just add so we're very bullish on space solutions . I know we've spent a lot of time talking about the defense side , but we also see great demand on the space solution side .

Yeah, so so I'll I'll take that, uh, Greg. So uh just a reminder, right? So fourth quarter Revenue down entirely driven by the planned, uh, why not of the NASA low margin Services contract. So as we, if you had reset, uh, 2026, we see continued demand for Mission Management Services on the ISS as it currently continues to operate today and think of that as the bridge to starlab, which we're already seeing continuous demand. And in fact, I we we know it's our current Mission Management Services, uh, customer relationships, uh, managing things on the International Space Station today. That's leading to that overbooked. If you would uh, commercial, uh, demand that we're seeing on Star Lab already. So as we kind of look out to 2026 and 2027, we continue to see low earthquakes.

Speaker #1: Just to reiterate , our strategy , there , we call it the three L's , which is Leo , lunar and Lagrange . Lagrange being a proxy for deep space .

Speaker #1: So we'll have more to talk about on our Mac space investment , probably on our next quarterly call , because that's fresh . But think of us as focusing on the technologies that enable administration goals in all three of those domains .

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. I would just add, so we're very bullish on Space Solutions. I know we've spent a lot of time talking about the defense side, but we also see great demand on the Space Solutions side. Just to reiterate our strategy there, we call it the three Ls, which is LEO, lunar, and Lagrange. Lagrange being a proxy for deep space. We'll have more to talk about on our next space investment, probably on our next quarterly call because that's fresh. Think of us as focusing on the technologies that enable administration goals in all three of those domains: low Earth orbit, the lunar environment, and deep space.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. I would just add, so we're very bullish on Space Solutions. I know we've spent a lot of time talking about the defense side, but we also see great demand on the Space Solutions side. Just to reiterate our strategy there, we call it the three Ls, which is LEO, lunar, and Lagrange. Lagrange being a proxy for deep space. We'll have more to talk about on our next space investment, probably on our next quarterly call because that's fresh. Think of us as focusing on the technologies that enable administration goals in all three of those domains: low Earth orbit, the lunar environment, and deep space.

Speaker #1: Low Earth orbit , the lunar environment , and deep space . And so we have relevant technology already that applies to all three of those domains .

Speaker #1: And we're going to look to fund Irad and or make acquisitions . And or investments in technologies that are , again going to address all three of those domains .

Speaker #1: And as Phil pointed out , we see a huge opportunity in lunar and the return to the moon with lunar infrastructure . And then , of course , a lot of our foundational mission management business is leading directly to these demand signals .

Orbit, as a demand driver look out, even Beyond, uh, certainly the focus on lunar and perhaps we can talk a little bit about the announcement we made today, uh, in that space. Uh, and how that lends itself to that. I think that there's upside opportunity and space Solutions. Uh, I look forward to seeing it returned to growth in 2026. I'll be at modest relative to our defense national security business, which is supported by a tremendous amount of backlog uh, entering the year. Uh, but make no mistake, uh, space Solutions continues to be a growth driver and a growth Focus for for Voyager. Yeah. And I, I would just add. So we're very bullish on Space Solutions. I know we've spent a lot of time talking about the defense side, but we also see great Demand on the space Solutions side, uh, just to reiterate our strategy there. Uh, we call it the 3 L's, which is Leo, lunar and LaGrange, LaGrange being a proxy for deep space.

Talk about on our Mac space investment uh probably on our next quarterly call because that that's fresh.

Speaker #1: We're getting on Starlab , which is really well , positioning us well to capture the majority of the market share available in low Earth orbit .

Speaker #1: So we're feeling very bullish about that 100% of our commercial demand for Starlab is already reserved , which I think is a fantastic outcome given the fact that we won't be in orbit for another 36 months

Dylan Taylor: We have relevant technology already that applies to all three of those domains, and we're gonna look to fund IRAD and/or make acquisitions and/or investments in technologies that are again going to address all three of those domains. As Phil pointed out, we see huge opportunity in lunar and the return to the moon with lunar infrastructure. Of course, a lot of our foundational mission management business is leading directly to these demand signals we're getting on Starlab, which is really well positioning us well to capture the majority of the market share available in low Earth orbit. We're feeling very bullish about that. 100% of our commercial demand for Starlab is already reserved, which I think is a fantastic outcome given the fact that we won't be in orbit for another 36 months.

Dylan Taylor: We have relevant technology already that applies to all three of those domains, and we're gonna look to fund IRAD and/or make acquisitions and/or investments in technologies that are again going to address all three of those domains. As Phil pointed out, we see huge opportunity in lunar and the return to the moon with lunar infrastructure. Of course, a lot of our foundational mission management business is leading directly to these demand signals we're getting on Starlab, which is really well positioning us well to capture the majority of the market share available in low Earth orbit. We're feeling very bullish about that. 100% of our commercial demand for Starlab is already reserved, which I think is a fantastic outcome given the fact that we won't be in orbit for another 36 months.

Speaker #5: And then maybe just as a follow up , that's a good transition to to Starlab any way to maybe quantify some of the financial impact in 2026 ?

Speaker #5: I think most of the numbers you gave are X Star Lab thinking about , you know , innovation , CapEx , and then it seems like potentially some offset given you've sold out the payload capacity , you know , how should we think about the the free cash flow usage in any inflows tied to Star Lab in 2026 ?

Speaker #2: Yeah , yeah , Greg , I think really important to note in terms of planning cash flow around Star Lab in 2026 is one I am driving a think of it as a cash neutral profile , meaning it's not just about free cash flow , but it's also about our successful fundraising for Star Lab .

But think of us as focusing on the technologies that enable, uh, Administration goals, in all 3 of those domains low earth, orbit the lunar environment and deep space. And so we have relevant technology already that applies to all 3 of those domains. And we're going to look to, uh, fund IRA and or make Acquisitions and, or investments in technologies that are again, going to address all 3 of those domains. And as Phil pointed out, we see a huge opportunity, uh, in lunar in the return to the Moon with lunar infrastructure. And then, of course, a lot of our foundational Mission management business is leading directly to these. Uh, denince signals we're getting on starlab which is really well. Uh, positioning us well to capture the majority of the market share available in low earth orbit. So we're feeling very bullish about that 100% of our commercial demand for starlab has already reserved

Uh, which I think is a fantastic outcome, given the fact that we won't be in orbit for another 36 months.

Greg Konrad: Then maybe just as a follow-up, that's a good transition to Starlab. Any way to maybe quantify some of the financial impact in 2026? I think most of the numbers you gave are ex-Starlab thinking about, you know, innovation, CapEx, and then it seems like potentially some offset given you've sold out the payload capacity. You know, how should we think about the free cash flow usage and any inflows tied to Starlab in 2026?

Greg Konrad: Then maybe just as a follow-up, that's a good transition to Starlab. Any way to maybe quantify some of the financial impact in 2026? I think most of the numbers you gave are ex-Starlab thinking about, you know, innovation, CapEx, and then it seems like potentially some offset given you've sold out the payload capacity. You know, how should we think about the free cash flow usage and any inflows tied to Starlab in 2026?

Speaker #2: And that's Non-dilutive capital as well as dilutive capital through our successful series A for Star Lab that's been ongoing . We anticipate obviously , NASA to step in during the year as well , but it's going to be also be other international space agencies .

Speaker #2: And as we kind of start to approach the latter part of the year , we'll start to expect some advanced fundings to come in from customers already to that point .

And then maybe just as a follow-up that that's a good transition to, to Star Lab any way to maybe quantify some of the financial impact in 2026. I think most of the numbers you gave are xar lab thinking about, you know, Innovation, capex. And then it seems like potentially some offset. Given you've sold out the payload capacity, you know, how should we think about the, the free cash flow usage? And any inflows tied to Star Lab in 2026.

Filipe De Sousa: Yeah. Yeah, Greg, I think really important to note, in terms of planning cash flow around Starlab in 2026 is, one, I am driving at, think of it as a cash neutral profile. Meaning it's not just about free cash flow, but it's also about our successful fundraising for Starlab, and that's non-dilutive capital as well as dilutive capital through our successful Series A for Starlab that's been ongoing. We anticipate obviously NASA to step in during the year as well, but it's gonna be also other international space agencies. As we kind of start to approach the latter part of the year, we'll start to expect some pre-advanced fundings to come in from customers already.

Filipe De Sousa: Yeah. Yeah, Greg, I think really important to note, in terms of planning cash flow around Starlab in 2026 is, one, I am driving at, think of it as a cash neutral profile. Meaning it's not just about free cash flow, but it's also about our successful fundraising for Starlab, and that's non-dilutive capital as well as dilutive capital through our successful Series A for Starlab that's been ongoing. We anticipate obviously NASA to step in during the year as well, but it's gonna be also other international space agencies. As we kind of start to approach the latter part of the year, we'll start to expect some pre-advanced fundings to come in from customers already.

Speaker #2: And I'll highlight , I know we've talked a lot about our record backlog in the $266 million , but just to highlight and be fully transparent with everybody , there's actually $6 million of backlog associated with Star Lab , which is quarters ahead of when I would have expected to actually have hit .

Speaker #2: And so back to the growing demand growing necessity for a low Earth orbit replacement and Star Labs great position to do so . We feel great about that from a financial perspective .

Speaker #2: Starlab is intended to be , if you would , a cash neutral for the year . We do anticipate free cash flow to be a cash outflow that will be funded by both dilutive and non-dilutive capital coming into the year .

Filipe De Sousa: To that point, and I'll highlight, I know we've talked a lot about our record backlog and the $266 million, but just to highlight and be fully transparent with everybody, there's actually $6 million of backlog associated with Starlab, which is quarters ahead of when I would've expected to actually have hit. Back to the growing demand, growing necessity for a low Earth orbit replacement for ISS, and Starlab's great position to do so. We feel great about that from a financial perspective. Starlab is intended to be, if you would, cash neutral for the year. We do anticipate free cash flow to be a cash outflow that will be funded by both dilutive and non-dilutive capital coming into the year. I think that's the important piece to highlight.

Filipe De Sousa: To that point, and I'll highlight, I know we've talked a lot about our record backlog and the $266 million, but just to highlight and be fully transparent with everybody, there's actually $6 million of backlog associated with Starlab, which is quarters ahead of when I would've expected to actually have hit. Back to the growing demand, growing necessity for a low Earth orbit replacement for ISS, and Starlab's great position to do so. We feel great about that from a financial perspective. Starlab is intended to be, if you would, cash neutral for the year. We do anticipate free cash flow to be a cash outflow that will be funded by both dilutive and non-dilutive capital coming into the year. I think that's the important piece to highlight.

Speaker #2: I think that's the important piece to highlight from a Voyager perspective . Just to remind everybody , the JV structure actually reduces Voyager's capital exposure to Star Lab , our diversified funding within Star Lab itself limits Voyager's capital burden .

I think. Yep. Um yeah, Greg I think really important to note uh in terms of planning cash flow around Star, Lab in 2026 is 1. Uh I am driving a think of it as a cash neutral profile. Meaning it's not just about free cash flow, but it's also about our successful fundraising for Star Lab. And that's not a lot of capital as well as dilutive capital Thor successful, uh, series a, for starlab, that's been ongoing. Uh, we anticipate obviously, uh, NASA, the step in, uh, during the year as well, but it's going to be also the other International Space agencies and as we kind of start to approach the latter part of the year, we'll start to, uh, expect some pre-advanced, uh, funding, uh, to come in from customers already, uh, to that point. And, and I'll highlight, I know, we've talked a lot about our record backlog and it's 266 million dollars. But just to highlight and be fully transparent with everybody. There's actually 6 million dollars of backlog associated with Star Lab, which is quarters ahead of when I would have expected the X-ray of hit.

Speaker #2: And again , just to highlight the early demand visibility , the diversified customer base , we see for Star Lab gives us tremendous excitement as we look out to later in 2026 .

Speaker #2: And early 2027 . As we start to move from design into into actually constructing the new station .

Speaker #5: Thank you .

Speaker #2: You bet .

Speaker #1: Thank you .

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from the line of Michael Leshock with KeyBanc Capital Markets . Please go ahead

Filipe De Sousa: From a Voyager perspective, just to remind everybody, the JV structure actually reduces Voyager's cash capital exposure to Starlab. Our diversified funding within Starlab itself limits Voyager's capital burden. Again, just to highlight the early demand visibility, the diversified customer base we see for Starlab gives us tremendous excitement as we look out to later in 2026 and certainly 2027 as we start to move from design into actually constructing the new station.

Filipe De Sousa: From a Voyager perspective, just to remind everybody, the JV structure actually reduces Voyager's cash capital exposure to Starlab. Our diversified funding within Starlab itself limits Voyager's capital burden. Again, just to highlight the early demand visibility, the diversified customer base we see for Starlab gives us tremendous excitement as we look out to later in 2026 and certainly 2027 as we start to move from design into actually constructing the new station.

Speaker #7: Hey , good morning . I wanted to ask on the government shutdown and what you're expecting from the catch up there to and how that plays out in 26 .

Speaker #7: Is there one quarter that might see the biggest benefit , or is that relatively consistent as the year progresses

Speaker #8: Let me take that . I can take that .

Speaker #2: That as well . And good morning , Mike . Thanks for making the call . You know , the government shutdown had a minor if you impact or relatively small impact that's actually in the fourth quarter .

And so back to the growing demand, uh growing necessity for a lower orbit replacement for ISS and starlabs, create position to do. So we feel great about that from a financial perspective, uh, starlab is intended to be if you would, um, uh, uh, cash neutral for the year. Uh, we do anticipate free cash flow to be a cash outflow. That will be funded, uh, by both the loota and non dilutive Capital coming into the year. I think that that's the important piece to highlight from a voyager perspective just to remind everybody, that JV structure actually reduces voyager's Capital exposure, uh, to Star Lab, uh, our Diversified funding within Star Lab itself, limits voyagers Capital burden. Um, and again, just to highlight the early demand visibility, the Diversified customer base. We see for for Star Lab gives us a tremendous excitement as we look out to, uh, later in 2026 and certainly 2027 as we start to move from design into into actually constructing, uh, the the new station.

Greg Konrad: Thank you.

Greg Konrad: Thank you.

Speaker #2: Probably would have had even bigger backlog , even more orders to report in Q4 if not for the prolonged government shutdown . So as excited as we are about , you know , total record backlog of $266 million , that would have been higher .

Filipe De Sousa: You bet. Thank you.

Filipe De Sousa: You bet. Thank you.

Thank you.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Michael Leshock with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Michael Leshock with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Michael Leshock with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Michael Leshock: Hey, good morning. I wanted to ask on the government shutdown and what you're expecting from the catch-up there and how that plays out in 2026. Is there one quarter that might see the biggest benefit or is that relatively consistent as the year progresses?

Michael Leshock: Hey, good morning. I wanted to ask on the government shutdown and what you're expecting from the catch-up there and how that plays out in 2026. Is there one quarter that might see the biggest benefit or is that relatively consistent as the year progresses?

Speaker #2: So I look forward to Q1 and certainly Q2 being perhaps a little bit higher in terms of orders than perhaps historically speaking , we would have seen from a revenue perspective that delay , if you will , in the fourth quarter , probably means our first quarter will be a bit muted from an actual revenue crystallization perspective .

Hey, good morning. I wanted to ask on the government shutdown in in what you're expecting from the catch-up there to put and how that plays out in 26. Um is there 1 quarter that might see the biggest benefit or that relatively consistent as the year progresses?

Filipe De Sousa: You take that? I can take that as well. Good morning, Mike. Thanks for making the call. You know, the government shutdown had a minor, if you would, impact or relatively small impact that was actually in Q4. Probably would have had even bigger backlog, even more orders to report in Q4 if not for the prolonged government shutdown. As excited as we are about, you know, total record backlog of $266 million, that would have been higher. I look forward to Q1 and certainly Q2 being perhaps a little bit higher in terms of orders than perhaps historically speaking we would have seen. From a revenue perspective, that delay, if you would, in Q4 probably means our Q1 will be a bit muted from an actual revenue crystallization perspective.

Filipe De Sousa: You take that? I can take that as well. Good morning, Mike. Thanks for making the call. You know, the government shutdown had a minor, if you would, impact or relatively small impact that was actually in Q4. Probably would have had even bigger backlog, even more orders to report in Q4 if not for the prolonged government shutdown. As excited as we are about, you know, total record backlog of $266 million, that would have been higher. I look forward to Q1 and certainly Q2 being perhaps a little bit higher in terms of orders than perhaps historically speaking we would have seen. From a revenue perspective, that delay, if you would, in Q4 probably means our Q1 will be a bit muted from an actual revenue crystallization perspective.

Speaker #2: And so we would anticipate revenue to accelerate through the year in 2026 . But the government shut down for it's worth didn't doesn't necessarily impact Voyager that significantly .

Speaker #2: The underlying demand drivers here these national security growth drivers are not . For a temporary obviously with the geopolitical that we're in today .

Speaker #2: You know , last quarter we were talking about the impact potentially of a prolonged impacts of the Ukraine war with Russia . Now we have the Iran conflict , etc.

Speaker #2: if anything , these things are just depleting our national security resources . And Voyager's well positioned to replenish that . And it's not going to be a 6 or 12 month resupply mission .

Filipe De Sousa: We would anticipate revenue to accelerate through the year in 2026. The government shutdown, for what it's worth, doesn't necessarily impact Voyager that significantly. The underlying demand drivers here, these national security growth drivers, are not, if you would, temporary. Obviously, with the geopolitical environment that we're in today, you know, last quarter we were talking about the impact potentially of, well, the prolonged impacts of the Ukraine war with Russia. Now we have the Iran conflict, et cetera. If anything, these things are just depleting our national security resources, and Voyager is well positioned to replenish that. It's not gonna be a 6 or 12-month resupply mission. This is gonna be a multi-year growth support driver for Voyager. Yeah.

Filipe De Sousa: We would anticipate revenue to accelerate through the year in 2026. The government shutdown, for what it's worth, doesn't necessarily impact Voyager that significantly. The underlying demand drivers here, these national security growth drivers, are not, if you would, temporary. Obviously, with the geopolitical environment that we're in today, you know, last quarter we were talking about the impact potentially of, well, the prolonged impacts of the Ukraine war with Russia. Now we have the Iran conflict, et cetera. If anything, these things are just depleting our national security resources, and Voyager is well positioned to replenish that. It's not gonna be a 6 or 12-month resupply mission. This is gonna be a multi-year growth support driver for Voyager. Yeah.

Speaker #2: This is going to be a multi-year growth support driver for Voyager .

Speaker #1: Yeah . The only other thing I would say is that , you know , given the fact that we were shut down for half of the fourth quarter , 45 out of 90 days , the fact that we essentially hit our revenue target , I think is a very good fact .

Speaker #1: And I think shows not only the resilience but the diversification of the business . And again , exiting the year with record backlog , record pipeline , raising revenue guidance .

Speaker #1: You know , all on the heels of a prolonged government shutdown , I think is a very good , very good factor

Speaker #7: And then on the Nai program , can you provide any color on on next milestones or key watch points for Nai to hit its target for Lrip in late 26 ?

Filipe De Sousa: The only other thing I would say is that, you know, given the fact that we were shut down for half of the Q4, right, 45 out of 90 days, the fact that we essentially hit our revenue target, I think is a very good fact. I think shows not only the resilience of the diversification of the business, and again, exiting the year with record backlog, record pipeline, and raising revenue guidance, you know, all on the heels of a prolonged government shutdown, I think is a very good fact.

Filipe De Sousa: The only other thing I would say is that, you know, given the fact that we were shut down for half of the Q4, right, 45 out of 90 days, the fact that we essentially hit our revenue target, I think is a very good fact. I think shows not only the resilience of the diversification of the business, and again, exiting the year with record backlog, record pipeline, and raising revenue guidance, you know, all on the heels of a prolonged government shutdown, I think is a very good fact.

Speaker #7: Is there any facility or capacity expansions that are needed to hit your targets and kind of drive the strong growth that you're seeing there ?

Speaker #8: You want to take that ?

Speaker #2: Yeah . No . So Nai , as I as we've said , we work very closely , obviously with the prime Lockheed Martin there .

Driving you to excel right through the year in 2026. Uh but the government shut down for for what it's worth um didn't doesn't necessarily impact Voyager, that's significantly the the the underlying demand drivers here these National Security growth drivers are not if you have temporary obviously with geopolitical environment that we're in today. Uh you know, last quarter, we were talking about the impact of potentially of well, the prolonged impacts of the Ukraine war with Russia. Now we have the Iran, uh, conflict Etc. If anything these things are just depleting our national security resources and voyagers well positioned, uh, to to, to replenish that. And it's not going to be a 6 or 12 month resupply Mission. This is going to be a multi-year, uh, group, uh, support driver for Voyager. Yeah. The only other thing I would say is that, you know, given the fact that we were shut down for half of the fourth quarter, right? 45 out of 90 days. The fact that we essentially hit our Revenue Target. I think is a very good fact, and I think shows not only the

Speaker #2: Just case in point , we've continued to stay on time and stay on schedule . From our perspective , irrespective of other potential supply chain issues .

Speaker #2: Ultimately , we will take that final order . If for low rate production from the customer when it's ready . We do anticipate those orders to come here .

Resilience of the diversification of the business. And again, exiting the year with record backlog, record pipeline, raising revenue guidance, uh, you know, all on the heels of a prolonged government shutdown. I think is a very good, uh, very good factor.

Michael Leshock: On the NGI program, can you provide any color on next milestones or key watch points for NGI to hit its target for LRIP in late 2026? Is there any facility or capacity expansions that are needed to hit your targets and kind of drive the strong growth that you're seeing there?

Michael Leshock: On the NGI program, can you provide any color on next milestones or key watch points for NGI to hit its target for LRIP in late 2026? Is there any facility or capacity expansions that are needed to hit your targets and kind of drive the strong growth that you're seeing there?

Speaker #2: Second half of this year as we move into low rate production next year , as far as the manufacturing capacity and investment to be clear , we are investing in our , you know , in the Voyager American defense complex ahead of demand for gold and dome opportunities in excess or set incremental to next generation interceptor .

And then on the NGI program, can you provide any color on next milestones or key watch points for NGI to hit its target for LRIP in late ’26? Is there any facility or capacity expansions that are needed to hit your targets and kind of drive the strong growth that you're seeing there?

Filipe De Sousa: You want to take this one? Yeah, no. NGI, as we've said, we work very closely obviously with the prime Lockheed Martin there. Just as a case in point, we've continued to stay on time and stay on schedule from our perspective, irrespective of other potential supply chain issues. Ultimately, we will take that final order, if you would, for low rate production from the customer when it's ready. We do anticipate those orders to come here at second half of this year as we move into low rate production next year. As far as the manufacturing capacity and investment, to be clear, we are investing in the Voyager American Defense Complex ahead of demand for Golden Dome opportunities incremental to Next Generation Interceptor. We know those opportunities are real.

Filipe De Sousa: You want to take this one? Yeah, no. NGI, as we've said, we work very closely obviously with the prime Lockheed Martin there. Just as a case in point, we've continued to stay on time and stay on schedule from our perspective, irrespective of other potential supply chain issues. Ultimately, we will take that final order, if you would, for low rate production from the customer when it's ready. We do anticipate those orders to come here at second half of this year as we move into low rate production next year. As far as the manufacturing capacity and investment, to be clear, we are investing in the Voyager American Defense Complex ahead of demand for Golden Dome opportunities incremental to Next Generation Interceptor. We know those opportunities are real.

Speaker #2: We know those opportunities are real . We're working very closely with other primes , not named Lockheed Martin . As an example on various initiatives , various programs .

Speaker #2: And so that's the reason why we're making that investment . That said , we are well positioned to scale on Nai when when Lockheed is good and ready

Speaker #7: Great . Thank you .

Speaker #1: Thanks , Mike .

Speaker #4: If you'd like to ask a question , please press Star One on your telephone keypad . Your next question comes from the line of Sam with Wedbush Securities .

Speaker #4: Please go ahead .

You want to take this off? Yeah, no. Um, so ngi. As I, as we said we work very closely obviously with the prime lockie Martin there. Uh, just case in point, we've continued to, uh, stay on time and stay on schedule from our perspective, respective of other potential, supply chain issues. Ultimately, we'll take that final order through at the low rate, production, from the customer, when it's ready. We do anticipate those orders to come here at uh, second half of this year, as we move into low rate production. Uh, next year, as far as the manufacturing capacity and investment to be clear, we are investing in our, you know, in the Voyager American defense complex.

Speaker #9: Hi . Everybody . I'm on . Hi , Sam . On for Dan Ives . Looking ahead to 2026 . Can you walk us through the 2 or 3 most critical growth drivers or milestones ?

Filipe De Sousa: We're working very closely with other primes not named Lockheed Martin as an example, on various, if you would, initiatives, various programs. That's the reason why we're making that investment. That said, we are well positioned, if you would, to scale on NGI when Lockheed's good and ready.

Filipe De Sousa: We're working very closely with other primes not named Lockheed Martin as an example, on various, if you would, initiatives, various programs. That's the reason why we're making that investment. That said, we are well positioned, if you would, to scale on NGI when Lockheed's good and ready.

Speaker #9: Whether contract awards , Star lab development targets , program execution gates that you would point to as the clearest proof points that Voyager's long term thesis is well on track

Ahead of demand for golden dome opportunities in excess or that incremental 2 Next Generation Interceptor. We know that those opportunities are real. We're working very closely with other primes. Not named blocky Martin as an example on various as to what initiatives various programs. And so that's the reason why we're making that investment. Uh that said we are well positioned. Uh, if we were to scale on ngi, when uh, when locking is good and ready,

Michael Leshock: Great. Thank you.

Michael Leshock: Great. Thank you.

Filipe De Sousa: Thanks, Mike.

Filipe De Sousa: Thanks, Mike.

Great. Thank you.

Speaker #8: Well , we .

Speaker #1: Got a lot more than three . I'll try to pick the biggest three . I mean , I think a few things . One is continued delivery of our propulsion technology on programs like GE , but I would say more specific to that would be being announced on additional programs of record Including Golden Dome programs , including legacy programs of record .

Thanks, Mike. If you'd like to ask a question. Please press star 1 on your telephone keypad. Your next question comes from the line of Sam Brandis with wedbush Securities. Please go ahead.

Sam Brandeis: Hi, everybody.

Sam Brandeis: Hi, everybody.

Filipe De Sousa: Hey, Sam.

Filipe De Sousa: Hey, Sam.

Sam Brandeis: Hi, Sam on for Dan Ives. Looking ahead to 2026, can you walk us through the two or three most critical growth drivers or milestones, whether contract awards, Starlab development targets, program execution gates that you would point to as the clearest proof points that Voyager's long-term thesis is well on track?

Sam Brandeis: Hi, Sam on for Dan Ives. Looking ahead to 2026, can you walk us through the two or three most critical growth drivers or milestones, whether contract awards, Starlab development targets, program execution gates that you would point to as the clearest proof points that Voyager's long-term thesis is well on track?

Hi everybody. I'm on.

Hi, Sam on for Dan Knives. Um,

Speaker #1: I think evidence that we can hopefully talk about in the public domain here in the near term , that would show that we're getting traction on additional programs , I think would be a key indicator and validation point , and that would be and again , just to reemphasize , that would be in addition to the record backlog that we've already talked about .

Looking ahead to 2026, can you walk us through the two or three most critical D growth drivers or milestones—whether contract awards, Starlab development, Targets program execution, gates—that you would point to as the clearest proof points that Voyager's long-term vis-as well on track?

Filipe De Sousa: Well, we got a lot more than three. I'll try to pick the biggest three. I mean, I think a few things. One is continued delivery of our propulsion technology on programs like NGI. I would say more specific to that would be being announced on additional programs of record, including Golden Dome programs, including legacy programs of record. I think evidence that we can hopefully talk about in the public domain here in the near term that would show that we're getting traction on additional programs, I think would be a key indicator and validation point. That would be, and again, just to re-emphasize, that would be in addition to the record backlog that we've already talked about. This is all incremental. I think that's one thing. Second key thing would be our ability to scale our production capacity.

Filipe De Sousa: Well, we got a lot more than three. I'll try to pick the biggest three. I mean, I think a few things. One is continued delivery of our propulsion technology on programs like NGI. I would say more specific to that would be being announced on additional programs of record, including Golden Dome programs, including legacy programs of record. I think evidence that we can hopefully talk about in the public domain here in the near term that would show that we're getting traction on additional programs, I think would be a key indicator and validation point. That would be, and again, just to re-emphasize, that would be in addition to the record backlog that we've already talked about. This is all incremental. I think that's one thing. Second key thing would be our ability to scale our production capacity.

Speaker #1: So this is all incremental . So I think that's one thing . Second key thing would be our ability to scale our production capacity , because that's really what's going to set us up for a remarkable 2027 and 2028 .

Well, we got a lot more than three. I'll try to pick the biggest three. I mean, I think a few things: one is continued delivery of our propulsion technology on programs like MGI. But I would say, more specific to that would be being announced on additional—

Programs of record.

Speaker #1: Both from a revenue growth perspective , but also from an operating leverage , EBITDA , free cash flow , all the things that we anticipate .

Uh, including gold and Dome programs, including Legacy, programs of record.

I think evidence.

that, uh,

Speaker #1: And then the third thing I would say , which is relevant , is the successful outcome of sealed phase two , which of course is the space station selection by NASA .

Speaker #1: And we anticipate that selection to happen within calendar year 2026 . And we feel very good about our strategic position there . And then just to emphasize , we have ample liquidity , you know , lots of dry powder on the balance sheet .

We can hopefully talk about in the public domain here in the near term that would show that we're getting traction on additional programs. I think would be a key indicator and validation point and that would be. And again just to reemphasize that would be in addition to the record backlog that we've already talked about. So this is all incremental so I think that's 1 thing. Second key thing would be our ability to scale.

Dylan Taylor: Because that's really what's going to set us up for a remarkable 2027 and 2028, both from a revenue growth perspective, but also from an operating leverage, EBITDA, free cash flow, all the things that we anticipate. The third thing I would say, which is relevant, is the successful outcome of CLD phase two, which of course is the space station selection by NASA. We anticipate that selection to happen within calendar year 2026. We feel very good about our strategic position there. Just to emphasize, we have ample liquidity, you know, lots of dry powder on the balance sheet. We're seeing huge opportunities, not only for internal investment to drive growth, but also still on the acquisition side as well. Those would be three kind of pillars that I would put out there.

Dylan Taylor: Because that's really what's going to set us up for a remarkable 2027 and 2028, both from a revenue growth perspective, but also from an operating leverage, EBITDA, free cash flow, all the things that we anticipate. The third thing I would say, which is relevant, is the successful outcome of CLD phase II , which of course is the space station selection by NASA. We anticipate that selection to happen within calendar year 2026. We feel very good about our strategic position there. Just to emphasize, we have ample liquidity, you know, lots of dry powder on the balance sheet. We're seeing huge opportunities, not only for internal investment to drive growth, but also still on the acquisition side as well. Those would be three kind of pillars that I would put out there.

Speaker #1: We're seeing huge opportunities , and not only for internal investment to drive growth , but also still on the acquisition side as well .

Speaker #1: So those would be three kind of pillars that I would I would put out there and we have a lot more than just those three .

Our production capacity, because that's really what's going to set us up for a remarkable 2027 and 2028, both from a revenue growth perspective but also from an operating leverage, EBITDA, free cash flow, all the things that we anticipate.

Speaker #1: But I think those are three to keep an eye on

Speaker #9: Great . Thank you . And you guys made five acquisitions in 2025 . Where do you think are the remaining capability gaps in the portfolio and when do you think the strategy shifts from capability filling to driving scale as the company further matures Thank you .

Very good about our strategic position there.

Speaker #8: I think we've already .

Speaker #1: Made the pivot or shift to that second part . We are in scale mode for sure . I think on the capability side , there are a few areas that we're you know , interested in exploring anything in power and propulsion .

Dylan Taylor: We have a lot more than just those three, but I think those are three to keep an eye on.

Dylan Taylor: We have a lot more than just those three, but I think those are three to keep an eye on.

Speaker #1: We're going to continue to look at the value chain there . How do we go faster ? How do we scale capability and production availability ?

Sam Brandeis: Great. Thank you. You guys made five acquisitions in 2025. Where do you think are the remaining capability gaps in the portfolio? When do you think the strategy shifts from capability filling to driving scale as the company further matures? Thank you.

Sam Brandeis: Great. Thank you. You guys made five acquisitions in 2025. Where do you think are the remaining capability gaps in the portfolio? When do you think the strategy shifts from capability filling to driving scale as the company further matures? Thank you.

And then just to emphasize, we have ample liquidity. You know, lots of dry powder on the balance sheet. We're seeing huge opportunities, not not only for internal investment to drive growth, but also still on the acquisition side as well. So those would be 3 kind of pillars that I would I would put out there and um we have a lot more than just those 3 but I think those are 3 to keep a keep an eye on

Speaker #1: We'll also be responsive to the needs of the customer as we have been with this critical chemicals and onshoring initiative that we talked about on space exploration .

Speaker #1: I think the lunar environment is something that we're we're really keen on . There's a huge opportunity there with NASA's focus on going back to the moon and going back to the moon to stay , and we're very well positioned with our technology to be a major player in that domain as well .

Great, thank you. And, um, you guys made five Acqua.

Dylan Taylor: I think we've already made the pivot or shift to that second part. We are in scale mode for sure. I think on the capability side, there are a few areas that we're still, you know, interested in exploring. Anything in power and propulsion, we're gonna continue to look at the value chain there. How do we go faster? How do we scale capability and production availability? We'll also be responsive to the needs of the customer as we have been with this critical chemicals and onshoring initiative that we talked about. On space exploration, I think the lunar environment is something that we're really keen on. There's a huge opportunity there with NASA's focus on going back to the moon and going back to the moon to stay.

Dylan Taylor: I think we've already made the pivot or shift to that second part. We are in scale mode for sure. I think on the capability side, there are a few areas that we're still, you know, interested in exploring. Anything in power and propulsion, we're gonna continue to look at the value chain there. How do we go faster? How do we scale capability and production availability? We'll also be responsive to the needs of the customer as we have been with this critical chemicals and onshoring initiative that we talked about. On space exploration, I think the lunar environment is something that we're really keen on. There's a huge opportunity there with NASA's focus on going back to the moon and going back to the moon to stay.

Speaker #1: So I think those are two key areas . And then I think , you know , our acquisition pipeline is quite robust and we're seeing a lot of opportunities there .

Speaker #1: I think one one way to think about this might be geographic expansion as well . That would lead to other customers around the world .

Speaker #1: That would be non-U.S. based . I think that's a huge growth opportunity for the company . Nothing imminent there . But I think that's another , you know , another area that we can scale our business .

I think we've already made the pivot or shift to that second part. We are in scale mode for sure. Um I think on the capability side there are a few areas that we're still, you know, interested in exploring anything in power and propulsion. We're going to continue to look at the value chain there. How do we go faster? How do we, uh, scale capability and production availability? Uh, we'll also be responsive to the needs of the customer as we have them with this critical chemicals, and onshoring initiative that we talked about

Uh, on space exploration. I think the lunar environment is something that we're we're really keen on. There's a huge opportunity there with

Speaker #1: So those are some thoughts and happy to dive deeper with you on any of those points

Dylan Taylor: We're very well positioned with our technology to be a major player in that domain as well. I think those are two key areas. Then I think, you know, our acquisition pipeline is quite robust, and we're seeing a lot of opportunities there. I think one way to think about this might be geographic expansion as well that would lead to other customers around the world that, you know, would be non-US-based. I think that's a huge growth opportunity for the company. Nothing imminent there, but I think that's another, you know, another area that we can scale our business. Those are some thoughts, and, you know, happy to dive deeper with you on any of those points.

Dylan Taylor: We're very well positioned with our technology to be a major player in that domain as well. I think those are two key areas. Then I think, you know, our acquisition pipeline is quite robust, and we're seeing a lot of opportunities there. I think one way to think about this might be geographic expansion as well that would lead to other customers around the world that, you know, would be non-US-based. I think that's a huge growth opportunity for the company. Nothing imminent there, but I think that's another, you know, another area that we can scale our business. Those are some thoughts, and, you know, happy to dive deeper with you on any of those points.

Speaker #4: Thank you . Mr. Padva . I'd like to turn the conference back over to you

Uh, NASA's focus on going back to the Moon, and going back to the Moon to stay. And we're very well positioned with our technology to be a major player in that domain as well.

Speaker #8: Thank you very much . We'll now take a couple of questions from technology . First one , as Voyager seeks to grow content , additional missile programs , how should we think about the incremental investment required to supply programs like PAC three or others , which have higher production rates , relative to next generation interceptor ?

Speaker #1: Yeah . Well , thank you for the question . I really appreciate that . So a couple couple ways to think about this Our Voyager American defense complex , we're building that out in anticipation not only of addressing the record pipeline that we have , but scaling from from there .

Uh so I think those are 2 key areas and then I think you know uh our acquisition pipeline is quite robust and we're seeing a lot of opportunities there, I think. Uh 1 1 way to think of it. This might be Geographic expansion as well that would lead to other customers around the world that you know, would be non us-based. I think that's a huge growth opportunity for the company, uh nothing imminent there. But I think that's another uh, you know, another area that we can scale our business.

So those are some thoughts, and, you know, happy to dive deeper with you on any of those points.

Operator: Thank you. Mr. Pynadath, I'd like to turn the conference back over to you.

Operator: Thank you. Mr. Pynadath, I'd like to turn the conference back over to you.

Thank you, Mr. Padva. I'd like to turn the conference back over to you.

Speaker #1: So this would be existing programs of record missile defense programs of record like Pac three , like fab , like Triton , like others , but in addition to that , opportunities on things like Golden Dome , which , you know , haven't been announced publicly yet .

Adi Pynadath: Thank you very much. We'll now take a couple of questions from Say Technologies. First one, as Voyager seeks to grow contract with additional missile programs, how should we think about the incremental investment required to supply programs like PAC-3 or others which have higher production rates relative to Next Generation Interceptor?

Adi Pynadath: Thank you very much. We'll now take a couple of questions from Say Technologies. First one, as Voyager seeks to grow contract with additional missile programs, how should we think about the incremental investment required to supply programs like PAC-3 or others which have higher production rates relative to Next Generation Interceptor?

Speaker #1: So think of the American defense complex as setting the table for us to take advantage of all these demand signals that we're seeing .

Thank you very much. Uh, we'll now take a couple of questions from Faith technology, um, first 1 as Voyager seeks to grow, content, initial missile programs. How should we think about the incremental investment required to supply programs like Pac 3 or others which have higher production rates relative to Next Generation interceptor?

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. Well, thank you for the question. I really appreciate that. A couple ways to think about this. Our Voyager American Defense Complex, we're building that out in anticipation not only of addressing the record pipeline that we have, but scaling from there. This would be existing programs of record, missile defense programs of record like PAC-3, like FAB, like Trident, like others. In addition to that, opportunities on things like Golden Dome, which you know, haven't been announced publicly yet. Think of the American Defense Complex as setting the table for us to take advantage of all these demand signals that we're seeing. You know, we're confident with the investment that we're planning in 2026 for the Voyager ADC.

Dylan Taylor: Yeah. Well, thank you for the question. I really appreciate that. A couple ways to think about this. Our Voyager American Defense Complex, we're building that out in anticipation not only of addressing the record pipeline that we have, but scaling from there. This would be existing programs of record, missile defense programs of record like PAC-3, like FAB, like Trident, like others. In addition to that, opportunities on things like Golden Dome, which you know, haven't been announced publicly yet. Think of the American Defense Complex as setting the table for us to take advantage of all these demand signals that we're seeing. You know, we're confident with the investment that we're planning in 2026 for the Voyager ADC.

Speaker #1: And , you know , we're confident with the investment that we're planning in 2026 for the Voyager ADC , we won't have additional incremental investment in order to capture these large pipeline and backlog opportunities that we see .

Speaker #1: So we feel very good about that .

Speaker #8: The next question , given that NASA is expected to award the CLD phase two later this year , what is Voyager's strategy ? In case NASA further delays the phase two selection to 27 ?

Yeah, well, thank you for the question. I really appreciate that. Uh, so a couple ways to think about this: our Voyager American defense complex, we're building that out in anticipation, not only of addressing the record pipeline that we have, but scaling from there. So this would be existing programs of record, missile defense programs of record like PAC-3, like FAB, like Trident, like others.

but in addition to that, uh, opportunities on things like golden dome,

Speaker #8: For example , and do you have any other financing to maintain the 2020 2029 launch schedule without the federal funding ?

Which, uh, you know, haven't been announced publicly yet.

So, think of the American defense complex as setting the table for us to take advantage of all these demand signals that we're seeing.

Speaker #1: Yes . Well , we don't anticipate a delay outside of calendar year 2026 . There was a NASA authorization bill that just cleared the Senate Commerce Committee here recently , and it specifically says the RFP .

Dylan Taylor: We won't have additional incremental investment in order to capture these large pipeline and backlog opportunities that we see. We feel very good about that.

Dylan Taylor: We won't have additional incremental investment in order to capture these large pipeline and backlog opportunities that we see. We feel very good about that.

Speaker #1: I think it's within 60 days . So I don't anticipate the RFP pushing in or the selection pushing into 2027 . The other thing about the Starlab joint venture model is it's fantastic from a Voyager perspective , because there's a lot of capital flexibility in that model .

And, uh, you know, we're confident with the investment that we're planning in 2026 for the Voyager ADC. Uh, we won't have additional incremental investment in order to capture these large pipeline and backlog opportunities that we see.

Uh, so we feel very good about that.

Adi Pynadath: The next question, given that NASA is expected to award the CLD phase two later this year, what is Voyager's strategy in case NASA further delays the phase two selection to 2027, for example? Do you have any other financing to maintain the 2029 launch schedule without the federal funding?

Adi Pynadath: The next question, given that NASA is expected to award the CLD phase II later this year, what is Voyager's strategy in case NASA further delays the phase II selection to 2027, for example? Do you have any other financing to maintain the 2029 launch schedule without the federal funding?

Speaker #1: So the cost structure itself , well , first of all , the JV is actually raising third party capital into the JV . So that's one key point .

The next question, given the NASA is expected to award the CLD Phase 2. Uh later this year. What is Voyager strategy in case? Not to further delay. The face to selection to 27, for example, and do you have any other financing thing to maintain the 2020 2029 launch schedule without the federal funding?

Dylan Taylor: Yes. Well, we don't anticipate a delay outside of calendar year 2026. There was a NASA authorization bill that just cleared the Senate Commerce Committee here recently, and it specifically says the RFP, I think it's within 60 days. So I don't anticipate the RFP pushing in or the selection pushing into 2027. The other thing about the Starlab joint venture model is it's fantastic from a Voyager perspective because there's a lot of capital flexibility in that model. So the cost structure itself. Well, first of all, the JV is actually raising third-party capital into the JV, so that's one key point.

Dylan Taylor: Yes. Well, we don't anticipate a delay outside of calendar year 2026. There was a NASA authorization bill that just cleared the Senate Commerce Committee here recently, and it specifically says the RFP, I think it's within 60 days. So I don't anticipate the RFP pushing in or the selection pushing into 2027. The other thing about the Starlab joint venture model is it's fantastic from a Voyager perspective because there's a lot of capital flexibility in that model. So the cost structure itself. Well, first of all, the JV is actually raising third-party capital into the JV, so that's one key point.

Speaker #1: But the second key point is the way the joint venture is set up is a lot of the cost structure is in procurement and integration .

Speaker #1: And those things can be modulated . And the time that those costs are spent can be chosen at our option as opposed to , let's say , some of the competitors have very , very , very heavy run rate cost structure .

Yes, well, we don't anticipate a delay outside of calendar year. 2026. There was a NASA authorization, bill that just

Speaker #1: And if there's a delay in procurement on their side , their cash burn is extremely high . Our model is different . And that gives us much more capital flexibility in our approach

Speaker #8: This concludes our question . I will hand it back to Dylan for closing remarks .

Dylan Taylor: The second key point is the way the joint venture is set up is a lot of the cost structure is in procurement and integration, and those things can be modulated, and the time that those costs are spent can be chosen at our option, as opposed to, you know, let's say some of the competitors have very heavy run rate cost structure. If there's a delay in procurement on their side, their cash burn is extremely high. Our model is different, and that gives us much more capital flexibility in our approach.

Dylan Taylor: The second key point is the way the joint venture is set up is a lot of the cost structure is in procurement and integration, and those things can be modulated, and the time that those costs are spent can be chosen at our option, as opposed to, you know, let's say some of the competitors have very heavy run rate cost structure. If there's a delay in procurement on their side, their cash burn is extremely high. Our model is different, and that gives us much more capital flexibility in our approach.

Speaker #1: Well , thank you everybody . We're super excited about our 2025 . The record backlog that we have going into 2026 , the growth opportunities we see in the company throughout all of our growth factors , including power and propulsion , energetics , space solutions , Star Lab and the like .

Speaker #1: So with that , want to thank everybody for joining the call . Thanks for your interest in Voyager Technologies . And we look forward to speaking with you after we wrap up .

Speaker #1: Q1 . Thank you .

The cost structure isn't procurement and integration and those things can be modulated. Uh, and the time that those costs are spent can be uh, chosen at our option. As opposed to, you know, let's say some of the competitors have very, very, very heavy run rate, cost structure. And if there's a delay in procurement on their side, uh, their cash burn is extremely high. Our model, uh, is different and that gives us much more Capital flexibility in our approach.

Adi Pynadath: This concludes our question. I will hand it back to Dylan for closing remarks.

Adi Pynadath: This concludes our question. I will hand it back to Dylan for closing remarks.

This concludes our question, I will hand it back to Dillon for closing remarks.

Dylan Taylor: Well, thank you, everybody. We're super excited about our 2025, the record backlog that we have going into 2026, the growth opportunities we see in the company throughout all of our growth vectors, including power and propulsion, energetics, space solutions, Starlab, and the like.
