2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of presentation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Maxar Technologies Inc., and all consolidated subsidiary entities. The Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
The Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities including derivative financial instruments which are stated at fair value.
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In management’s opinion, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included.
Use of estimates, assumptions and judgments
The preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the reporting date, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared using the most current and best available information; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Guidance Adopted
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which together with subsequent amendments, is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance was effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company elected to apply the amendments beginning in the second quarter of 2022. On June 30, 2022, the Company amended its existing interest rate swaps that mature in June 2023 to modify the designated hedged interest rate risk from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in connection with the Company's amendment and restatement of its Syndicated Credit Facility (as defined below) and elected to apply the contract modification optional expedient to the amendments and consider the amendments as a continuation of the existing contracts without performing an assessment that would otherwise be required under U.S. GAAP. See Note 8 for additional details regarding the amendments to the existing interest swaps.

8. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES |
Factors used in determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three categories in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 820 - Fair Value Measurements:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities
12
MAXAR TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are based on unobservable inputs
The following tables present assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company determines fair value of its derivative financial instruments and orbital receivables based on internal valuation models, such as a discounted cash flow analysis, using management estimates and observable market-based inputs, as applicable. Management estimates include assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and application of appropriate discount rates. Observable market-based inputs are sourced from third parties and include interest rates and yield curves, currency spot and forward rates and credit spreads, as applicable.
The Company determines fair value of long-term debt that is actively traded in the secondary market using external pricing data, including any available quoted market prices and other observable inputs from available market

information. For debt that is not actively traded in the secondary market, the fair value is based on the Company’s indicative borrowing cost derived from dealer quotes or discounted cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are all short-term in nature; therefore, the carrying value of these items approximates their fair value.

Revenue in the Space Infrastructure segment is primarily generated from long-term construction contracts. Due to the long-term nature of these contracts, the Company generally recognizes revenue over time using the cost-to-cost method to measure progress. Under the cost-to-cost method, revenue is recognized based on the proportion of total costs incurred to estimated total costs-at-completion ("EAC"). Revenue recognition is also contingent on estimated contractual consideration. An EAC includes all direct costs and indirect costs directly attributable to a program or allocable based on program cost pooling arrangements. Estimates regarding the Company’s costs associated with the design, manufacture and delivery of products and services are used in determining the EAC. Changes to EAC cost or estimated contractual consideration are recorded as a cumulative catch-up adjustment.
The Company has certain programs in the Space Infrastructure segment which contain significant development efforts that have experienced delays and cost growth primarily due to the complexity of the programs resulting in an overall loss position. The Company recorded EAC adjustments on loss contracts of $

The Company’s business is organized into
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker measures the performance of each segment based on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for certain items affecting comparability of the Company’s ongoing operating results as specified in the calculation. Certain items affecting the comparability of our ongoing operating results between periods include restructuring, impairments, insurance recoveries, gain (loss) on sale of assets, (gain) loss on orbital receivables allowance, offset obligation fulfillment, amortization of deferred ERP implementation costs and transaction and integration related expense. Transaction and integration related expense includes costs associated with de-leveraging activities, acquisitions and dispositions and the integration of acquisitions. Corporate and other expenses include items such as corporate office costs, regulatory costs, executive and director compensation, foreign exchange gains and losses and fees for audit, legal and consulting services.
Intersegment sales are generally recorded at cost plus a specified margin, which may differ from what the segment may be able to obtain on sales to external customers.

Contributions
The funding policy for the Company’s pension and postretirement benefit plans is to contribute at least the minimum required by applicable laws and regulations or to directly make benefit payments where appropriate. In 2021, the Company elected to take advantage of certain provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and due to the Company’s election, there are required contributions for the Company’s qualified pension plan for the year ending December 31, 2023, and there were

The Company assesses the deferred tax assets for recoverability on a quarterly basis. Based upon all available positive and negative evidence, the Company maintains a valuation allowance to reduce the net U.S. deferred tax asset to the amount that is more-likely-than-not realizable.
The Company computes an estimated annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) each quarter based on the current and forecasted continuing operating results. The income tax expense or benefit associated with the interim period is computed using the most recent estimated AETR applied to the year-to-date ordinary income or loss, plus the tax effect of any significant or infrequently occurring items recorded during the interim period. The computation of the estimated AETR at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgments including, but not limited to, the expected operating income (loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent differences and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur and additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

Contingencies in the Normal Course of Business
Satellite construction contracts may include performance incentives whereby payment for a portion of the purchase price of the satellite is contingent upon in-orbit performance of the satellite. The Company’s ultimate receipt of orbital performance incentives is subject to the continued performance of its satellites generally over the contractually stipulated life of the satellites. A complete or partial loss of a satellite’s functionality can result in loss of orbital receivable payments or repayment of amounts received by the Company under a warranty payback arrangement. The Company generally receives the present value of the orbital receivables if there is a launch failure or a failure caused by a customer error, but will forfeit some or all of the orbital receivables if the loss is caused by satellite failure or as a result of Company error. The Company recognizes orbital performance incentives in the financial statements based on the amounts that are expected to be received and believes that it will not incur a material loss relating to the incentives recognized. With respect to the Company’s securitized liability for the orbital receivables, upon the occurrence of an event of default under the securitization facility agreement or upon the occurrence of limited events, the Company may be required to repurchase on demand any effected receivables at their then net present value.
The Company may incur liquidated damages on programs as a result of delays due to slippage, or for programs which fail to meet all milestone requirements as outlined within the contractual arrangements with customers. Losses on programs related to liquidated damages result in a reduction of revenue. Changes in estimates related to contracts accounted for using the cost-to-cost method are recognized in the period in which such changes are made for the inception-to-date effect of the changes. Unrecoverable costs on contracts that are expected to be incurred in future periods are recorded in program cost in the current period. Additionally, construction contracts may have termination for default clauses, which if triggered, could result in potential losses and legal disputes.
The Company enters into agreements in the ordinary course of business with resellers and others. Most of these agreements require the Company to indemnify the other party against third-party claims alleging that one of its products infringes or misappropriates a patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right. Certain of

these agreements require the Company to indemnify the other party against claims relating to property damage, personal injury or acts or omissions by the Company, its employees, agents or representatives.
From time to time, the Company has made guarantees regarding the performance of its systems to its customers. Some of these agreements do not limit the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company evaluates and estimates potential losses from such indemnification based on the likelihood that the future event will occur. The Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such obligations and has not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnification and guarantees in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company has entered into industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, as a condition to entering into contracts for its products and services from certain customers in foreign countries. These agreements are designed to return economic value to the foreign country and may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology and providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects. These agreements may provide for penalties in the event the Company fails to perform in accordance with offset requirements. The Company has historically not been required to pay any such penalties.

On January 14, 2019, a Maxar stockholder filed a putative class action lawsuit captioned Oregon Laborers Employers Pension Trust Fund, et al. v. Maxar Technologies Inc., No. 1:19-cv-00124-WJM-SKC in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (“Colorado Action”), naming Maxar and members of management as defendants alleging, among other things, that the Company’s public disclosures were deficient in violation of the federal securities laws and seeking monetary damages. On October 7, 2019, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and members of management in connection with the Company’s public disclosures between March 26, 2018 and January 6, 2019. The consolidated complaint alleges that the Company’s statements regarding the AMOS-8 contract, accounting for its GEO communications assets, and WorldView-4 were allegedly false and/or misleading during the class period. On September 11, 2020, the court granted in part, and denied in part, defendants’ motion to dismiss. On July 16, 2021, the court in the Colorado Action certified a class consisting of investors who purchased or acquired Maxar stock between May 9, 2018 and October 30, 2018, inclusive. The parties have reached an agreement to resolve the action on a class-wide basis for a one-time payment of $

On October 21, 2019, a Maxar stockholder filed a putative class action lawsuit captioned McCurdy v. Maxar Technologies Inc., et al., No. 19CV35070 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara, naming Maxar and certain members of management and the Board of Directors as defendants. The lawsuit alleges violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act in connection with the Company’s June 2, 2017 Registration Statement and Prospectus (“Offering Materials”) filed in anticipation of its October 5, 2017 merger with DigitalGlobe, Inc. (“DigitalGlobe Merger”). On April 30, 2020, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint alleging the same causes of action against the same set of defendants as set forth in his original complaint. The lawsuit is based upon many of the same underlying factual allegations as the Colorado Action. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges the Company’s statements regarding its accounting methods and risk factors, including those related to the GEO communications business, were false and/or misleading when made. On January 24, 2021, the court granted in part, and denied in part, defendants’ motion to dismiss. On August 20, 2021, the court certified a class consisting of investors who acquired Maxar stock in exchange for DigitalGlobe stock pursuant to the Offering Materials issued in connection with the DigitalGlobe Merger. The parties have reached an agreement to resolve the action on a class-wide basis for a one-time payment of $

Lance, et al., No. 19-cv-02134-UNA. On September 18, 2020, another purported derivative action was filed in the same court against Maxar and certain current and former members of management and the Board of Directors, captioned as Golub, Derivatively on Behalf of Maxar Technologies Inc. v. Lance, et al., No. 20-cv-01251-UNA. Both complaints concern the same factual allegations as asserted in the Colorado Action. The court has consolidated and stayed both derivative cases.

Additionally, one complaint in connection with the Merger Agreement was filed in Colorado state court: Garfield v. Cyprus, et al., 2023CV30393 (filed March 16, 2023 in the Colorado District Court, Adams County) (the “State Court Complaint,” and, together with the Federal Court Complaints, the “Complaints”).

MAXAR TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted)
The Federal Court Complaints generally allege that the preliminary proxy statement filed by Maxar on January 31, 2023 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”) and/or the definitive proxy statement filed by Maxar on March 16, 2023 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), both filed in connection with the Merger Agreement, misrepresent and/or omit certain purportedly material information related to the Merger Agreement. The Federal Court Complaints assert violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder against Maxar and the members of Maxar’s Board of Directors. The Federal Court Complaints seek, among other things: (i) an injunction enjoining the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (ii) rescission or rescissory damages in the event the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated; (iii) direction that the defendants comply with the Exchange Act and disseminate a revised proxy statement; (iv) direction that defendants account for all damages suffered as a result of any misconduct; (v) costs of the action, including plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and experts’ fees; and (vi) other relief the court may deem just and proper. The State Court Complaint also generally alleges certain misrepresentations and/or omissions of purportedly material information in the Definitive Proxy Statement related to the Merger Agreement, asserting violations of the Colorado Securities Act, Colorado Revised Statutes §§ 11-51-501 and 11-51-604(3) against Maxar and the members of Maxar’s Board of Directors, violations of §§ 11-51-604(5)(b) and (c) against the members of Maxar’s Board of Directors, as well as allegations of misrepresentations and concealment, and negligent misrepresentation and concealment, under Colorado state law against Advent, Maxar and the members of Maxar’s Board of Directors. The State Court Complaint seeks, among other things: (i) a declaration that the defendants have violated Colorado Revised Statute § 11-51-501; (ii) a declaration that the defendants fraudulently or negligently misrepresented and omitted purportedly material facts in the Definitive Proxy Statement; (iii) enjoining further violations of § 11-51-501; (iv) enjoining and/or rescinding the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (v) enjoining further alleged misrepresentations related to the Definitive Proxy Statement; (vi) dissemination of a proxy statement that does not contain purportedly false or misleading statements; (vii) attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees, interest and costs; and (viii) other such relief the court may find just and proper.
In addition to the Complaints, starting on February 6, 2023, purported stockholders of Maxar sent demand letters (together with the Complaints, the “Matters”) alleging similar deficiencies regarding the disclosures made in the Preliminary Proxy Statement and the Definitive Proxy Statement. One such letter additionally seeks corporate books and records in order to investigate alleged wrongdoing by Maxar’s Board of Directors, executive officers and/or financial advisors in connection with the Merger Agreement.
Maxar cannot predict the outcomes of the Matters. Maxar management believes that the Matters are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the Matters and any subsequent demands or filed actions. If additional similar complaints are filed or demands sent, absent new or significantly different allegations, Maxar will not necessarily disclose such additional filings or demands.
To avoid the risk of the Matters delaying or adversely affecting the Merger and to minimize the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, Maxar determined to make voluntary supplemental disclosures related to the Merger for the purpose of mooting any alleged disclosure issues (the “litigation-related supplemental disclosures”). The litigation-related supplemental disclosures were filed by Maxar on a Form 8-K on April 11, 2023. The State Court Complaint was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice on April 12, 2023.
The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business as either a plaintiff or defendant. As a matter of course, the Company is prepared both to litigate these matters to judgment, as well as to evaluate and consider all reasonable settlement opportunities. The Company establishes accrued liabilities for these matters where losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. The outcome of any of these other proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company expenses legal fees related to contingencies as incurred.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements usually relate to future events and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows or other aspects of our operations or operating results. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “estimate,” “outlook” and similar expressions, including the negative thereof. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking.
These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions based on information currently known to us and our projections of the future, about which we cannot be certain. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or expectations expressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such factors, risks and uncertainties include: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement between the parties to the proposed transaction; (2) the failure to obtain certain required regulatory approvals or the failure to satisfy any of the other closing conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction within the expected timeframes or at all; (3) risks related to disruption of management’s attention from Maxar’s ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; (4) the effect of the announcement of the proposed transaction on the ability of Maxar to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with its customers, suppliers and others with whom it does business, or on its operating results and business generally; (5) the ability of Maxar to meet expectations regarding the timing and completion of the transaction; (6) the impacts resulting from the conflict in Ukraine or related geopolitical tensions; (7) the impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic or any other pandemics, epidemics or infectious disease outbreaks; (8) Maxar’s ability to generate a sustainable order rate for the satellite and space manufacturing operations and develop new technologies to meet the needs of its customers or potential new customers; (9) the impacts of any changes to the policies, priorities, regulations, mandates and funding levels of governmental entities; (10) the impacts if Maxar’s programs fail to meet contractual requirements or its products contain defects or fail to operate in the expected manner; (11) any significant disruption in or unauthorized access to Maxar’s computer systems or those of third parties that it utilizes in its operations, including those relating to cybersecurity or arising from cyber-attacks, and security threats could result in a loss or degradation of service, unauthorized disclosure of data, or theft or tampering of intellectual property; (12) satellites are subject to construction and launch delays, launch failures, damage or destruction during launch; (13) if Maxar satellites fail to operate as intended; (14) the impacts of any loss of, or damage to, a satellite and any failure to obtain data or alternate sources of data for Maxar’s products; (15) any interruption or failure of Maxar’s infrastructure or national infrastructure; (16) Maxar’s business with various governmental entities is concentrated in a small number of primary contracts; (17) Maxar operates in highly competitive industries and in various jurisdictions across the world; (18) uncertain global macro-economic and political conditions; (19) Maxar is a party to legal proceedings, investigations and other claims or disputes, which are costly to defend and, if determined adversely to it, could require it to pay fines or damages, undertake remedial measures or prevent it from taking certain actions; (20) Maxar’s ability to attract, train and retain employees; (21) any disruptions in U.S. government operations and funding; (22) any changes in U.S. government policy regarding use of commercial data or space infrastructure providers, or material delay or cancellation of certain U.S. government programs; (23) Maxar’s business involves significant risks and uncertainties that may not be covered by insurance; (24) Maxar often relies on a single vendor or a limited number of vendors to provide certain key products or services; (25) any disruptions in the supply of key raw materials or components and any difficulties in the supplier qualification process, as well as any increases in prices of raw materials; (26) any changes in Maxar’s accounting estimates and assumptions; (27) Maxar may be required to recognize impairment charges; (28) Maxar’s business is capital intensive, and it may not be able to raise adequate capital to finance its business strategies, including funding future satellites, or to refinance or renew its debt financing arrangements, or it may be able to do so only on terms that significantly restrict its ability to operate its business; (29) Maxar’s ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing or government grants to finance operating working capital requirements and growth initiatives may be limited or difficult to obtain; (30) Maxar’s indebtedness and other contractual obligations; (31) Maxar’s current financing arrangements contain certain restrictive covenants that impact its future operating and financial flexibility; (32) Maxar’s actual operating results may differ significantly from its guidance; (33) Maxar could be adversely impacted by actions of activist stockholders; (34) the price of Maxar’s common stock has been volatile and may fluctuate substantially; (35) Maxar’s operations in the U.S. government market
24
are subject to significant regulatory risk; (36) failure to comply with the requirements of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual could result in interruption, delay or suspension of Maxar’s ability to provide its products and services, and could result in loss of current and future business with the U.S. government; (37) Maxar’s business is subject to various regulatory risks; (38) any changes in tax law, in Maxar’s tax rates or in exposure to additional income tax liabilities or assessments; (39) Maxar’s ability to use its U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited; (40) Maxar’s operations are subject to governmental law and regulations relating to environmental matters, which may expose it to significant costs and liabilities; and (41) the other risks listed from time to time in Maxar’s filings with the SEC. As a result, although we believe we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because we can give no assurance that they will prove to be accurate. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date hereof and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing risks and uncertainties. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of our forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

SEGMENT RESULTS
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker measures performance of our reportable segments based on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Our operating and reportable segments are: Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure.
Earth Intelligence
In the Earth Intelligence segment, we are a global leader in high resolution space-based Earth observation imagery products and analytics. We launched the world’s first high resolution commercial imaging satellite in 1999 and currently operate a four-satellite Earth-observation constellation, providing us with over two decades and approximately 150 petabytes of imagery over our history (referred to as our “Image Library”) of the highest-resolution, commercially available imagery. Our imagery solutions provide customers with timely, accurate and mission-critical information about our changing planet and support a wide variety of government and enterprise applications, including mission planning, mapping and analysis, environmental monitoring, disaster management, crop management, oil and gas exploration and infrastructure management. We continue to innovate as demands for new satellite technology and advanced analytic tools increase. In addition to our Earth observation capabilities, we offer RF and SAR data, which provides more comprehensive and accurate geospatial insights for our customers. Through our updated NOAA remote sensing license, we are also able to collect NEI for our current constellation and our next generation WorldView Legion satellites. Through this new license authority, we can collect and distribute images of space objects across the LEO – the area ranging from 200 kilometers up to 1,000 kilometers in altitude – to both government and commercial customers. In the commercial satellite Earth observation industry, we are a leader across U.S. government agencies, international government agencies and enterprise customer verticals. The U.S. government is the largest customer of our Earth Intelligence segment through the EOCL Contract, G-EGD and OWT programs and various classified and unclassified contract vehicles
We also provide geospatial services that combine imagery, analytic expertise and innovative technology to deliver intelligence solutions to customers. Our approximately 1,500 cleared personnel support analytic solutions that accurately document change and enable geospatial modeling and analysis that help predict where events will occur. Our primary customer of geospatial services is the U.S. government, but we also support intelligence requirements for other U.S. allied governments, global development organizations and enterprise customers. We are also a global leader in satellite-derived 3D data for defense and intelligence markets, with software and products that enhance 3D mapping, Earth intelligence data and military simulation and training.

Total revenues increased to $419 million from $405 million, or by $14 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in product revenues in our Space Infrastructure segment partially offset by a decrease in service revenues in our Earth Intelligence segment.
In the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, revenues within our Earth Intelligence segment were adversely affected by customers deferring execution of awards due to protracted approval cycles and in response to broader economics affecting the technology sector. We expect recovery and growth in the remaining quarters of the year. We also have reduced and expect to further reduce expenses in areas that we do not expect will have an adverse effect on future growth, which will help improve Adjusted EBITDA performance through the rest of the year.
Further discussion of the drivers behind changes in revenues is included within the “Results by Segment” section below.

Selling, general and administrative costs increased to $117 million from $104 million, or by $13 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $5 million increase in transaction and integration related expenses related to the pending Merger, a $5 million increase in research and development expenses primarily within our Space Infrastructure segment, a $3 million increase in restructuring costs, a $2 million increase in information technology costs and a $3 million increase in other expenses. There was also a $6 million increase in labor related expenses driven by annual merit increases and increases in headcount primarily driven by acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022. These increases were partially offset by a $7 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a $4 million decrease in marketing costs. The decrease in stock-based compensation was primarily due to an immaterial amount of expense related to liability classified awards for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $5 million in incremental expense related to liability classified awards for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest on long-term debt of $13 million driven by an increase in interest rates on our Term Loan B (as defined below) which was amended in the second quarter of 2022. These increases were partially offset by a $7 million increase in capitalized interest related to the building of our WorldView Legion satellites.

Revenues from the Earth Intelligence segment decreased to $243 million from $251 million, or by $8 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a $7 million decrease in revenues from international defense and intelligence customers. There was also a $1 million decrease in revenues from the U.S. government primarily due to a $10 million decrease in imagery solutions revenues partially offset by a $9 million increase in geospatial services revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $73 million from $99 million, or by $26 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily related to the above-mentioned decrease in revenues and a $15 million increase in service costs. The increase in service costs included an $8 million increase in geospatial services costs primarily due to higher geospatial services revenues and a $7 million increase in imagery solutions costs, including costs from acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. There was also a $4 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022.
In the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, revenues within our Earth Intelligence segment were adversely affected by customers deferring execution of awards due to protracted approval cycles and in response to broader economics affecting the technology sector. We expect recovery and growth in the remaining quarters of the year. We also have reduced and expect to further reduce expenses in areas that we do not expect will have an adverse effect on future growth, which will help improve Adjusted EBITDA performance through the rest of the year.

Adjusted EBITDA margin (as a % of total revenues) | 7.2 | % | 10.7 | % | ||||||||
Changes in revenues from year to year are influenced by the size, timing and number of satellite contracts awarded in the current and preceding years and the length of the construction period for satellite contracts awarded. Revenues on satellite contracts are recognized using the cost-to-cost method to determine the percentage of completion over the
30
construction period, which typically ranges between 20 to 36 months, and up to 48 months in certain situations. Adjusted EBITDA margins can vary from quarter to quarter due to the mix of our revenues and changes in our EAC as our risks are retired and as our EACs are increased or decreased based on contract performance. Adjusted EBITDA margins are also impacted by estimated contractual consideration.
Revenues from the Space Infrastructure segment increased to $195 million from $177 million, or by $18 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a $12 million increase in U.S. government revenues driven by the recognition of revenue from recent contract awards. The increase in revenues was also driven by a $6 million increase in revenues from commercial programs for three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA in the Space Infrastructure segment decreased to $14 million from $19 million, or by $5 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a change in program mix and higher EAC growth for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022. There was also an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $2 million.
Corporate and other expenses
Corporate and other expenses include items such as corporate office costs, regulatory costs, executive and director compensation, foreign exchange gains and losses, retention costs and fees for legal and consulting services.
Corporate and other expenses decreased to $22 million from $25 million, or by $3 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a $1 million foreign exchange gain for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a $1 million foreign exchange loss for the same period of 2022.
Intersegment eliminations
Intersegment eliminations are related to projects between our segments, including the construction of our WorldView Legion satellites. Intersegment eliminations remained relatively unchanged as they decreased to $8 million from $9 million, or by $1 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.
BACKLOG

Unfunded contract options | 2,135 | 2,089 | ||||
Total | $ | 5,427 | $ | 5,283 | ||
Order backlog, representing the estimated dollar value of firm contracts for which work has not yet been performed (also known as the remaining performance obligations on a contract), was $3,292 million as of March 31, 2023 compared to $3,194 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in backlog was driven by an increase in the Space Infrastructure segment primarily due to a new contract with a commercial customer, partially offset by revenue recognized during the period. Order backlog generally does not include unexercised contract options and potential orders under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts.
Backlog in the Space Infrastructure segment is primarily comprised of multi-year awards, such as satellite builds. Fluctuations in backlog are driven primarily by the timing of large program wins. Backlog in the Earth Intelligence
31
segment consists of both multi-year and annual contracts, which renew at various times throughout the year. As a result, the timing of when contracts are awarded and when option years are exercised may cause backlog to fluctuate significantly from period to period. Although backlog reflects business that is considered to be firm, terminations, amendments or cancellations may occur, which could result in a reduction in our total backlog.
Our unfunded contract options totaled $2,135 million and $2,089 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Unfunded contract options represent estimated amounts of revenue to be earned in the future from negotiated contracts with unexercised contract options and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts. Unfunded contract options as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were primarily comprised of option years in the EOCL Contract (for the periods June 15, 2027 through June 14, 2032) and other U.S. government contracts. On May 25, 2022, we were awarded the EOCL Contract by the NRO, which is a 10-year contract worth up to $3.24 billion, inclusive of a firm 5-year base contract commitment worth $1.5 billion and $1.74 billion in exercisable options. The EOCL Contract transitioned the imagery acquisition requirement previously addressed by the EnhancedView Contract and, with this award, replaces the scope of the EnhancedView Contract with respect to such requirements.
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our sources of liquidity include cash provided by operations, access to existing credit facilities, collection or securitization of orbital receivables and, when available and efficient, access to the capital markets. We generally maintain limited cash on hand and use available cash to pay down borrowings on our Syndicated Credit Facility (as defined below). Our primary short-term cash requirements are to fund working capital, including requirements on long-term construction contracts (including our geostationary satellite contracts), fixed overhead costs, and to fund the construction and launch of our WorldView Legion satellites and other capital expenditures. Working capital requirements can vary significantly from period to period, particularly as a result of the timing of receipts and disbursements related to long-term construction contracts.
Our medium-term to long-term cash requirements are to service and repay debt and make investments, including in facilities, equipment, technologies, and research and development for growth initiatives. These capital investments include investments to replace the capability or capacity of satellites which have or will go out of service in the future. Over the near-term to medium-term, it is also possible that our customers may fully or partially fund the construction of additional Legion satellites. Cash is also used to pay dividends and finance other long-term strategic business initiatives.
We have significant purchase obligations in the normal course of business for goods and services, under agreements with defined terms as to quantity, price and timing of delivery. Purchase obligations represent open purchase orders and other commitments for the purchase or construction of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets, operational commitments related to remote ground terminals, or with subcontractors on long-term construction contracts that we have with customers in the normal course of business.
We also have short and long-term requirements to fund our pension plans within the Space Infrastructure segment. Funding requirements under applicable laws and regulations are a major consideration in making contributions to our pension plans. Failure to satisfy the minimum funding thresholds with respect to appropriate laws and regulations could result in restrictions on our ability to amend the plans or make benefit payments. With respect to our qualified pension plan, we intend to contribute annually not less than the required minimum funding thresholds. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 includes provisions for pension funding relief in future periods. We have elected to take advantage of these provisions and anticipate lower required contributions for our qualified pension plan in the upcoming years. There are no required contributions for our qualified pension plan for the year ending December 31, 2023, and there were no required contributions for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Our ability to fund our cash needs will depend, in part, on our ability to generate cash in the future, which depends on our future financial results. Our future results are subject to general economic factors, including inflation and rising interest rate costs, and financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors that may be outside of our control. Our future access to, and the availability of credit on acceptable terms and conditions is impacted by many factors, including capital market liquidity and overall economic conditions. In addition, we maintain cash and investment accounts at multiple financial institutions in amounts that are significantly in excess of the limits insured by the FDIC. If one or
32
more of the institutions with which we maintain accounts were to fail or be taken over by the FDIC, such as the recent take-over of Silicon Valley Bank, our ability to access such accounts might be temporarily or permanently limited. Any losses or delay in access to funds as a result of such events could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet contractual obligations, earnings, financial condition, cash flows and stock price.
We believe that our cash from operating activities generated from continuing operations, together with available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), will be adequate for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future to meet our anticipated uses of cash flow, including working capital, capital expenditure, debt service costs, dividend and other commitments. While we intend to reduce debt over time using cash provided by operations, we may also seek to meet long-term debt obligations, if necessary, and fund future capital investments by obtaining capital from a variety of additional sources or by refinancing existing obligations. These sources include public or private capital markets, bank financings, proceeds from dispositions or other third-party sources.

Operating activities
Cash flows from operating activities can vary significantly from period to period as a result of our working capital requirements, given our portfolio of large construction programs and the timing of milestone receipts and payments with customers and suppliers in the ordinary course of business. Investment in working capital is also necessary to build our business and manage lead times in construction activities. We expect working capital account balances to continue to vary from period to period. We efficiently fund our working capital requirements with the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).
Cash provided by operating activities decreased to $44 million from $48 million, or by $4 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a $14 million increase in interest payments for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by favorable changes in working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.
Investing activities
Cash used in investing activities decreased to $57 million from $66 million, or by $9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Our primary investing activities included expenditures on property, plant and equipment of $39 million and $43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and investments in intangible assets primarily related to internally developed software of $24 million and $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Property, plant and equipment expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 primarily related to the construction of our WorldView Legion satellites. These expenditures were partially offset by a $6 million cash inflow due to the release of cash held in escrow related to the sale and leaseback of our owned property in Palo Alto, California for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.
33
Financing activities
Cash used in financing activities decreased to $2 million from $7 million, or by $5 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in financing activities included $11 million in payments made to satisfy tax obligations on behalf of certain members of our executive leadership team and Section 16 officers, repayments of long-term debt of $6 million and the settlement of the securitization liability of $4 million. These cash outflows were partially offset by $20 million from the net proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). During the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in financing activities included the settlement of the securitization liability of $4 million.

Syndicated Credit Facility
Our senior secured syndicated credit facility (“Syndicated Credit Facility”) is composed of: (i) a senior secured first lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate capacity of up to $500 million maturing in June 2027 (“Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured first lien term B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion maturing in June 2029, which was issued with an original issue discount of 4.50% (“Term Loan B”).
The maximum Consolidated Net Debt Leverage Ratio financial maintenance covenant permitted under the amended and restated credit agreement (“Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) are (1) 5.00:1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2023 through and including December 31, 2023 and (2) 4.50:1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2024.The required level of the Interest Coverage Ratio maintenance covenant is 2.50:1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.
Borrowings under Term Loan B bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 4.00% to 4.25% or adjusted base rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.00% to 3.25%, in each case depending on the total Consolidated Net Debt Leverage Ratio. Starting September 30, 2022, the Company must make equal quarterly installment payments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount of Term Loan B, with the final balance payable at maturity on June 14, 2029; provided that if the 7.75% 2027 Notes are not repaid in full by the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the 7.75% 2027 Notes, the maturity date for the Term Loan B will be the maturity date of the 7.75% 2027 Notes. Borrowings under Term Loan B may be repaid by the Company, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest, without premium or penalty.
34
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, if such borrowings are in U.S. dollars, either Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.75% to 3.50% or ABR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50%, in each case depending on the total Consolidated Net Debt Leverage Ratio. The Company may also, at its option, borrow in Canadian dollars, Euros or British Pounds Sterling using the same applicable margins as noted for U.S. dollars. The Revolving Credit Facility is payable at maturity on June 14, 2027. The Revolving Credit Facility may be repaid by the Company, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest, without premium or penalty.
The Revolving Credit Facility includes an aggregate $200 million sub limit under which letters of credit can be issued. We had $13 million and $24 million of issued and undrawn letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The $11 million decrease of issued and undrawn letters of credit is primarily due to approximately $10 million of obligations now being collateralized with cash versus previously collateralized by letters of credit. The approximately $10 million of cash collateral is classified as restricted cash within Other current assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023.
7.75% Notes due 2027
On June 14, 2022, we issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.75% 2027 Notes in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers in the U.S. pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the U.S. pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 7.75% 2027 Notes were issued at a price equal to 100% of their face value and are recorded as long-term debt in the consolidated financial statements. The 7.75% 2027 Notes bear interest at the rate of 7.75% per year, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2022. The 7.75% 2027 Notes will mature on June 15, 2027, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. The 7.75% 2027 Notes are secured on a first-priority basis by liens on our and the guarantors’ assets that also secure, equally and ratably, our indebtedness under the Syndicated Credit Facility and the 7.54% 2027 Notes (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of a first lien intercreditor agreement. The 7.75% 2027 Notes are also guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of our subsidiaries that are guarantors under our Syndicated Credit Facility and our 7.54% Senior Secured Notes due 2027.
7.54% Notes due 2027
On June 25, 2020, we issued $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.54% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (“7.54% 2027 Notes”). The 7.54% 2027 Notes were offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers in the U.S. pursuant to Rule 144A and outside the U.S. pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 7.54% 2027 Notes were issued at a price of 98.25% and are recorded as long-term debt in our consolidated financial statements. The 7.54% 2027 Notes bear interest at the rate of 7.54% per year, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears, for which interest payments commenced December 2020. The 7.54% 2027 Notes will mature on December 31, 2027, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. The 7.54% 2027 Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of our existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee the Syndicated Credit Facility.
See Note 7, “Long-term debt and interest expense, net” to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Information” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details on our long-term debt.
Securitization liability
We have in place a revolving securitization facility agreement with an international financial institution. Under the terms of the Syndicated Credit Facility, we may offer to sell eligible orbital receivables from time to time with terms of seven years or less, discounted to face value using prevailing market rates. There were no sales or repurchases of eligible receivables executed in the three months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.
The orbital receivables that were securitized remain on our balance sheet as the accounting criteria for surrendering control of the orbital receivables were not met. The net proceeds received have been recognized as securitization liabilities that have been subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The
35
securitized orbital receivables and securitization liabilities are being drawn down as payments are received from customers and passed on to the international financial institution. We continue to recognize orbital revenue on the orbital receivables that are subject to the securitization transactions and recognize interest expense to accrete the securitization liability.
Interest rate swaps
In June 2022, we amended our existing interest rate swaps that mature in June 2023 to modify the designated hedged interest rate risk from LIBOR to SOFR in connection with our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. In total, as of March 31, 2023, an aggregate of $1 billion of our variable rate long-term debt is fixed at an average one-month SOFR rate of 1.71% (excluding the margin specified in the Syndicated Credit Facility) pursuant to our outstanding interest rate swaps. In each of June 2023 and June 2024, we will have interest rate swap maturities of $500 million.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of March 31, 2023, we had no outstanding foreign exchange sales contracts. As of March 31, 2023, we had $13 million in letters of credit issued under the Syndicated Credit Facility. Such arrangements are not expected to have a material effect on our liquidity or capital resources, financial position or results of operations.
We use, from time to time, derivative financial instruments to manage existing foreign currency exposures. We consider the management of financial risks to be an important part of our overall corporate risk management policy. Foreign exchange forward contracts are used to hedge our exposure to currency risk on sales, purchases, cash, net investments and loans denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of our domestic and foreign operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies, estimates or judgments, that occurred in the period covered by this report from those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item I, “Financial Information” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental indicators of our financial and operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin.
We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for certain items affecting the comparability of our ongoing operating results as specified in the calculation and Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Certain items affecting the comparability of our ongoing operating results between periods include restructuring, impairments, insurance recoveries, gain (loss) on sale of assets, (gain) loss on orbital receivables allowance, offset obligation fulfillment, amortization of deferred ERP implementation costs and transaction and integration related expense. Transaction and integration related expense includes costs associated with de-leveraging activities, acquisitions and dispositions and the integration of acquisitions. Management believes that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of our underlying results and trends, and management uses these measures along with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures to manage our business, evaluate our performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure being used as a key element of our incentive compensation plan. The Syndicated Credit Facility also uses Adjusted EBITDA in the determination of our debt leverage covenant ratio. The
36
definition of Adjusted EBITDA in the Syndicated Credit Facility includes a more comprehensive set of adjustments that may result in a different calculation therein.
We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, provide useful information to investors by facilitating the comparability of our ongoing operating results over the periods presented, the ability to identify trends in our underlying business, and the comparison of our operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of other public companies.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and may not be defined similarly by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as indications of financial performance or as alternate to cash flows from operations as measures of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under U.S. GAAP.
The table below reconciles our net loss to EBITDA and Total Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to our market risks from those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of March 31, 2023. The evaluation was performed with the participation of senior
37
management of each business segment and key corporate functions, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will prevent or detect all misstatements, due to error or fraud, from occurring in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, management is required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.

Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock (a “Share”) upon vesting. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and Grant Notice.
ARTICLE I.
GENERAL
1.1Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.
ARTICLE II.
GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
2.1Grant of RSUs. Pursuant to the Grant Notice and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an award of RSUs under the Plan in consideration of the Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiaries and for other good and valuable consideration.
2.2Unsecured Obligation to RSUs. Unless and until the RSUs have vested in the manner set forth in Article 2 hereof, the Participant will have no right to receive Common Stock under any such RSUs. Prior to actual payment of any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.
2.3Vesting Schedule. Subject to Section 2.5 hereof, the RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable portion thereof according to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice (rounding down to the nearest whole Share).
2.4Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the award of RSUs pursuant hereto, the Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary.
2.5Forfeiture, Termination and Cancellation upon Termination of Service. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for any or no reason, all Restricted Stock Units which have not vested prior to or in connection with such Termination of Service shall thereupon automatically be forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder. Subject to the provisions
A-1
of the Plan, no portion of the RSUs which has not become vested as of the date on which the Participant incurs a Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested.
In the event that, at the time of the Participant’s Termination of Service, the Participant is a party to a written employment agreement with the Company that provides for the accelerated or continued vesting of all or part of the RSUs in connection with the circumstances of the Participant’s Termination of Service, then (subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions to such accelerated or continued vesting as set forth in such employment agreement) the accelerated or continued vesting required under the terms of such employment agreement shall be given effect before applying the immediately preceding paragraph. Furthermore, if such employment agreement provides for continued vesting of the all or a portion of the RSUs in such circumstances, the RSUs that would become vested after the Participant’s Termination of Service and over the applicable continued vesting period shall (subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions to such accelerated or continued vesting as set forth in such employment agreement) instead accelerate and be considered to have vested as of the Participant’s Termination of Service, and this provision shall control over such employment agreement. Any RSUs that become vested pursuant to this paragraph shall be settled pursuant to Section 2.6 not later than two and one-half months following the Participant’s Termination of Service; provided that if the period of time that the Participant has to satisfy any applicable vesting conditions in his or her employment agreement with the Company (including any period of time to consider and revoke any applicable release) spans two calendar years, settlement of such RSUs shall be made within the applicable two and one-half month period but in the second of such two calendar years.
2.6Issuance of Common Stock upon Vesting.
(a)As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such vesting date (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the “short term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code), or as to any RSUs that vest pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 2.5, the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or any transferee permitted under Section 3.2 hereof) a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Shares cannot be issued pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Plan, the Shares shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator determines that Shares can again be issued in accordance with such Section.
(b)As set forth in Section 10.2 of the Plan, the Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the Restricted Stock Units.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Labor Law Acknowledgement. By accepting the RSUs granted hereunder, you consent to participation in the Plan and acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Plan.
You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to grant any RSUs under the Plan to individuals who may be members of the Board or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision, which is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any RSUs granted will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis, other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement, including this Exhibit B.

Further, you understand and freely accept that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant of RSUs since the future value of the RSUs and the underlying Shares is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, you understand that any RSUs granted hereunder would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, you understand, acknowledge and freely accept that, should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of RSUs or right to RSUs shall be null and void.
Further, the vesting of the RSUs is expressly conditioned on your continued and active rendering of service, such that if your employment terminates for any reason whatsoever, the RSUs may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on the date of your Termination of Service. This will be the case, for example, even if (1) you are considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”); (2) you are dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) you terminate service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) you terminate service due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Company or a Subsidiary; or (5) your employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon your Termination of Service for any of the above reasons, you may automatically lose any rights to RSUs that were not vested on the date of your Termination of Service, as described in the Plan and the Agreement.

Securities Law Information. No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory. The Agreement (including this Appendix) has not been nor will it be registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.
Exchange Control Information. If you acquire Shares under the Plan, you must declare the acquisition to the Direccion General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”). If you acquire the Shares through the use of a Spanish financial institution, that institution will automatically make the declaration to the DGCI for you; otherwise, you will be required to make the declaration by filing a D-6 form. You must declare ownership of any Shares with the DGCI each January while the Shares are owned and must also report, in January, any sale of Shares that occurred in the previous year for which the report is being made, unless the sale proceeds exceed the applicable threshold, in which case the report is due within one (1) month of the sale.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. You are required to declare electronically to the Bank of Spain any securities accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), as well as the Shares held in such accounts if the value of the transactions during the prior tax year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior tax year exceed €1,000,000.
To the extent that you hold Shares and/or have bank accounts outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 (for each type of asset) as of December 31 each year, you will be required to report information on such assets in your tax return (tax form 720) for such year. After such Shares and/or accounts are initially reported, the reporting obligation will apply for subsequent years only if the value of any previously-reported Shares or accounts increases by more than €20,000 or if you sell or otherwise dispose of previously-reported Shares or accounts. If the value of such Shares and/or accounts as of December 31 does not exceed €50,000, a summarized form of declaration may be presented.

Securities Law Information. RSUs under the Plan are granted only to select service providers of the Company and its Subsidiaries and are for the purpose of providing equity incentives.

UNITED KINGDOM
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Tax Withholding.
Without limiting any other provision of the Agreement, you agree that you are liable for all income tax (including federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (the
“Tax Obligations”) and hereby covenant to pay all such Tax Obligations as and when requested by the Company or your Employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). You also agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company or your Employer against any taxes that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on your behalf.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an executive officer or director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, as amended from time to time), you understand that you may not be able to indemnify the Company or your Employer for the amount of income tax not collected from or paid by you, as it may be considered a loan. In the event that you are an executive officer or director and income tax is not collected from you within ninety (90) days after the end of the tax year in which the taxable event occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute an additional benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. You acknowledge that you are responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing your Employer for the value of any NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or your Employer may recover from you.
If the maximum applicable withholding rate is used, any over-withheld amount may be credited to you by the Company or your Employer (with no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent) or if not so credited, you may seek a refund from the local tax authorities.
Joint Election. As a condition of the RSUs granted hereunder, you agree to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions (the “Employer NICs”), which may be payable by the Company or your Employer with respect to the RSUs and/or payment of the RSUs and issuance of Shares pursuant to the RSUs, the assignment or release of the RSUs for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the RSUs.
Without limitation to the foregoing, you agree to make an election (the “Election”), in the form specified and/or approved for such election by HMRC, that the liability for your Employer NICs payments on any such gains shall be transferred to you to the fullest extent permitted by law. You further agree to execute such other elections as may be required between you and any successor to the Company and/or your Employer. You hereby authorize the Company and your Employer to withhold such Employer NICs.
Failure by you to enter into an Election, withdrawal of approval of the Election by HMRC or a joint revocation of the Election by you and the Company or your Employer, as applicable, shall be grounds for the forfeiture and cancellation of the RSUs, without any liability to the Company or your Employer.
