SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) (“Planet” or the “Company”), a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, today announced financial results for the period ended April 30, 2026.

“Planet’s excellent start to the year is a testament to the mission-critical nature of our data in an increasingly complex world,” said Will Marshall, Planet’s Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson. “Planet is executing with speed and focus, evidenced by the successful launch of Sweden’s first sovereign reconnaissance satellite just four months after contract signing. By investing in AI, we are positioning Planet at the forefront of the industry and pioneering ways to make planetary-scale insights available and actionable to more users than ever before.”

Ashley Johnson, Planet’s President and Chief Financial Officer, added, “We delivered record revenue of $94.2 million, accelerating our top-line growth to 42% year-over-year, driven by exceptional execution across our global go-to-market and delivery teams. The momentum in our business is further reflected in our backlog, which grew 72% year-over-year to over $906 million, providing us with excellent visibility and predictability into our future growth.” Ms. Johnson continued, “We also announced the redemption of our outstanding public warrants, generating approximately $108 million in proceeds from exercises. We ended the quarter with $731 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, giving us a fortress balance sheet to confidently invest behind our core growth initiatives while maintaining our operational discipline.”

First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2027 Financial and Key Metric Highlights:

• First quarter revenue increased 42% year-over-year to a record $94.2 million.

• Percent of recurring annual contract value (ACV) was 99% as of the end of the first quarter.

• First quarter gross margin was 54%, compared to 55% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. First quarter non-GAAP gross margin was 56%, compared to 59% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.

• First quarter net loss was ($138.9) million, compared to ($12.6) million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The first quarter of fiscal year 2027 net loss included an approximate ($106.5) million revaluation loss from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities related to stock price appreciation during the period. Planet announced the redemption of all of its outstanding public warrants during the quarter, resulting in approximately $107.8 million of proceeds from exercises of the public warrants. Additionally, the remaining private placement warrants were exercised on a cashless basis during the quarter. Consequently, revaluations from the change in the fair value of public warrant liabilities will not occur in future quarters.

• First quarter adjusted EBITDA loss was ($1.0) million, compared to $1.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.

• First quarter GAAP net loss per share was ($0.40) and non-GAAP net loss per share was ($0.03). First quarter GAAP net loss per share included an approximate ($0.31) impact from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities related to stock price appreciation during the period.

• First quarter net cash provided by operating activities was $15.4 million, and first quarter free cash flow was ($2.5) million.

• Ended the quarter with $730.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

New Technologies and Products

• Successfully Launched 3 Pelican Satellites: In May, Planet launched three additional AI-enabled Pelican satellites aboard a SpaceX launch vehicle, bringing the total number of high-resolution Pelicans on orbit to nine. Notably, this mission included the Swedish Armed Forces’ first sovereign reconnaissance satellite, which launched just over four months after their contract was signed.
• Planet AI Application: Planet launched the private beta of a new AI application, a pioneering tool focused on making Planet’s massive global data archive queryable through natural language. By leveraging Planet’s daily data and integrating LLMs, it can help non-technical users to search the data through space and time, conduct complex time-series analysis, generate answers, and produce automated insights and analytic reports at speed and scale.
• SuperRes: In May, Planet announced SuperRes, an AI-powered technology to improve the resolution of PlanetScope data into a 2m-class resolution visual solution, providing clarity for human-in-the-loop analysis with scale and frequency.
• New Tanager Satellite: During the quarter, Planet announced an agreement with partners Carbon Mapper and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to design a specialized, shortwave infrared only iteration of the Tanager spacecraft. This design would expand the swath width of the instrument, enabling more imaging area per collect. This new satellite is aimed at accelerating and building upon the existing Tanager satellite mission by enhancing atmospheric gas detection and supporting commercial use cases like fire fuel monitoring.
• Shipped Pelican-11 to Launch Site: Earlier this week, Planet announced that the Pelican-11 satellite was shipped to Vandenberg Space Force Base in California ahead of its launch aboard the upcoming Transporter-17 mission with SpaceX. This technology demonstration is the first of the Gen-2 Pelican satellites, which are expected to progress to providing up to 30cm-class imagery.

Financial Outlook

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, ending July 31, 2026, Planet expects revenue to be in the range of approximately $102 million to $107 million. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be in the range of approximately 52% to 55%. Adjusted EBITDA profit is expected to be in the range of approximately $0 to $5 million for the quarter. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of approximately $21 million and $27 million for the quarter.

For the full fiscal year 2027, Planet expects revenue to be in the range of approximately $425 million to $441 million. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be in the range of approximately 52% to 54%. Adjusted EBITDA profit is expected to be in the range of approximately $0 and $10 million. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of approximately $80 million and $95 million for the year.

Planet has not reconciled its non-GAAP financial outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain reconciling items, such as stock-based compensation expenses and depreciation and amortization are uncertain or out of Planet’s control and cannot be reasonably predicted. The actual amount of these expenses during the second quarter of fiscal year 2027 and full fiscal year 2027 will have a significant impact on Planet’s future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of Planet’s non-GAAP outlook to the most comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts.

The foregoing forward-looking statements reflect Planet’s expectations as of today’s date. Given the number of risk factors, uncertainties and assumptions discussed below, actual results may differ materially.

Planet’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, certain non-GAAP expenses described further below, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, backlog and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures the Company uses to supplement its results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company includes these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate the Company’s core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies, which may have different definitions from the Company’s. Further, certain of the non-GAAP financial measures presented exclude stock-based compensation expenses, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for the Company and an important part of its compensation strategy.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin: The Company defines and calculates Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, and employer payroll taxes related to earnout share vesting. The Company defines non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue.

Non-GAAP Expenses: The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses as, in each case, the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure (cost of revenue, research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses) adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, certain litigation expenses, and employer payroll taxes related to earnout share vesting, that are classified within each of the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Loss from Operations: The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP loss from operations as loss from operations adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, certain litigation expenses, and employer payroll taxes related to earnout share vesting.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share: The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP net income (loss) as net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, certain litigation expense, employer payroll taxes related to earnout share vesting, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and the income tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments. The Company defines and calculates non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA: The Company defines and calculates adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before the impact of interest income and expense, income tax provision and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the following items: stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, other income (expense), net, restructuring costs, certain litigation expenses, and employer taxes related to earnout share vesting.

The Company presents non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, certain non-GAAP expenses described above, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes these measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in Planet’s industry and facilitates comparisons on a consistent basis across reporting periods. Further, the Company believes these measures are helpful in highlighting trends in its operating results because they exclude items that are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance.

Backlog: The Company defines and calculates backlog as remaining performance obligations plus the cancelable portion of the contract value for contracts that provide the customer with a right to terminate for convenience without incurring a substantive termination penalty and written orders where funding has not been appropriated. Backlog does not include unexercised contract options. Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted revenue that will be invoiced and recognized in revenue in future periods. Remaining performance obligations do not include contracts which provide the customer with a right to terminate for convenience without incurring a substantive termination penalty, written orders where funding has not been appropriated and unexercised contract options.

An increasing and meaningful portion of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with the U.S. government and other government customers. Cancellation provisions, such as termination for convenience clauses, are common in contracts with the U.S. government and certain other government customers. The Company presents backlog because the portion of its customer contracts with such cancellation provisions represents a meaningful amount of the Company’s expected future revenues. Management uses backlog to more effectively forecast the Company’s future business and results, which supports decisions around capital allocation. It also helps the Company identify future growth or operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. The Company also believes backlog is useful for investors in forecasting the Company’s future results and understanding the growth of its business. Customer cancellation provisions relating to termination for convenience clauses and funding appropriation requirements are outside of the Company’s control, and as a result, the Company may fail to realize the full value of such contracts.

Free Cash Flow: The Company defines and calculates free cash flow as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software costs.

The Company presents free cash flow because it believes free cash flow provides useful supplemental information to help investors understand underlying trends in the Company’s business and liquidity. Management uses free cash flow, in addition to GAAP measures, to help manage our business, prepare budgets, and for annual planning.

Rule of 40: The Company defines and calculates Rule of 40 as the sum of year-over-year revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percent of revenue. The Company may refer to a “Rule of” number other than 40 to refer to the sum of revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percent of revenue for the period given.

Other Key Metrics

ACV and EoP ACV Book of Business: In connection with the calculation of several of the key operational and business metrics we utilize, the Company calculates annual contract value (“ACV”) for contracts of one year or greater as the total amount of value that a customer has contracted to pay for the most recent 12 month period for the contract. ACV includes imagery licensing arrangements, data solutions, and dedicated image tasking capacity but excludes customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform (which has integrated the former Sentinel Hub platform) self-service paying users, as well as the value of any satellite services contracts. For short-term contracts (contracts less than 12 months), ACV is equal to total contract value.

The Company also calculates EoP ACV book of business in connection with the calculation of several of the key operational and business metrics we utilize. The Company defines EoP ACV book of business as the sum of the ACV of all contracts that are active on the last day of the period pursuant to the effective dates and end dates of such contracts, excluding customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform self-service paying users, as well as the value of any satellite services contracts. Active contracts exclude any contract that has been canceled, expired prior to the last day of the period without renewing, or for any other reason is not expected to generate revenue in the subsequent period. For contracts ending on the last day of the period, the ACV is either updated to reflect the ACV of the renewed contract or, if the contract has not yet renewed or extended, the ACV is excluded from the EoP ACV book of business. The Company does not annualize short-term contracts in calculating its EoP ACV book of business. The Company calculates the ACV of usage-based contracts based on the committed contracted revenue or the revenue achieved on the usage-based contract in the prior 12-month period.

Percent of Recurring ACV: Percent of recurring ACV is the portion of the total EoP ACV book of business that is recurring in nature. The Company defines EoP ACV book of business as the sum of the ACV of all contracts that are active on the last day of the period pursuant to the effective dates and end dates of such contracts. ACV includes imagery licensing arrangements, data solutions, and dedicated image tasking capacity but excludes customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform (which has integrated the former Sentinel Hub platform) self-service paying users, as well as the value of any satellite services contracts. The Company defines percent of recurring ACV as the dollar value of all data subscription contracts and the committed portion of usage-based contracts (excluding customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform self-service paying users) divided by the total dollar value of all contracts in our EoP ACV book of business. The Company believes percent of recurring ACV is useful to investors to better understand how much of the Company’s revenue is from customers that have the potential to renew their contracts over multiple years rather than being one-time in nature. The Company tracks percent of recurring ACV to inform estimates for the future revenue growth potential of our business and improve the predictability of our financial results. There are no significant estimates underlying management’s calculation of percent of recurring ACV, but management applies judgment as to which customers have an active contract at a period end for the purpose of determining EoP ACV book of business, which is used as part of the calculation of percent of recurring ACV.

Capital Expenditures as a Percentage of Revenue: The Company defines capital expenditures as purchases of property and equipment plus capitalized internally developed software development costs, which are included in our statements of cash flows from investing activities. The Company defines capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue as the total amount of capital expenditures divided by total revenue in the reported period. Capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue is a performance measure that we use to evaluate the appropriate level of capital expenditures needed to support demand for the Company’s data services and related revenue, and to provide a comparable view of the Company’s performance relative to other earth observation companies, which may invest significantly greater amounts in their satellites to deliver their data to customers. The Company uses an agile space systems strategy, which means we invest in a larger number of significantly lower cost satellites and software infrastructure to automate the management of the satellites and to deliver the Company’s data to clients. As a result of the Company’s strategy and business model, the Company’s capital expenditures may be more similar to software companies with large data center infrastructure costs. Therefore, the Company believes it is important to look at the level of capital expenditure investments relative to revenue when evaluating the Company’s performance relative to other earth observation companies or to other software and data companies with significant data center infrastructure investment requirements. The Company believes capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue is a useful metric for investors because it provides visibility to the level of capital expenditures required to operate the Company and the Company’s relative capital efficiency.

Net Dollar Retention Rate: The Company defines Net Dollar Retention Rate as the percentage of ACV generated by existing customers in a given period as compared to the ACV of all contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year from the same set of existing customers. The Company defines existing customers as customers with an active contract with the Company. The Company believes Net Dollar Retention Rate is a useful metric for investors as it can be used to measure its ability to retain and grow revenue generated from its existing customers, on which its ability to drive long-term growth and profitability is, in part, dependent. The Company uses Net Dollar Retention Rate to assess customer adoption of new products, inform opportunities to make improvements across its products, identify opportunities to improve operations, and manage go to market functions, as well as to understand how much future growth may come from cross-selling and up-selling customers. Management applies judgment in determining the value of active contracts in a given period, as set forth in the definition of ACV.

Net Dollar Retention Rate including Winbacks: The Company assesses two metrics for net dollar retention–Net Dollar Retention Rate, as described above, and Net Dollar Retention Rate including winbacks. A winback is a previously existing customer that was inactive at the start of the measurement period but has reactivated during the measurement period. The reactivation period must be within 24 months from the last active contract with the customer; otherwise, the customer is counted as a new customer and therefore excluded from the retention rate metrics. The Company defines Net Dollar Retention Rate including winbacks as the percentage of ACV generated by existing customers and winbacks in a given period as compared to the ACV of all contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year from the same set of existing customers. The Company believes this metric is useful to investors as it captures the value of customer contracts that resume business with the Company after being inactive and thereby provides a quantification of the Company’s ability to recapture lost business. Management uses this metric to understand the adoption of our products and long-term customer retention, as well as the success of marketing campaigns and sales initiatives in re-engaging inactive customers. Beyond the judgments underlying managements’ calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate set forth above, there are no additional assumptions or estimates made in connection with Net Dollar Retention Rate including winbacks.
