Item 1. Business

Overview

Planet’s mission is to use space to help life on Earth, by imaging the world every day and making global change visible, accessible, and actionable. We have designed, built, launched, and operated hundreds of satellites used to collect a powerful and growing data set of over 3,000 images on average for every point on Earth’s landmass, creating a non-replicable historical archive for analytics, machine learning, and insights. Complementing our foundational data offerings, we have advanced data processing capabilities that enable us to produce “AI-ready” data sets and offer AI-enabled solutions, either directly or through partnership with third parties. In addition, our satellite services arrangements provide a broad spectrum of advanced offerings to large scale government and enterprise customers, including designing and manufacturing customer-owned satellites. We also provide critical related services in these satellite services arrangements such as reliable mission systems engineering, launch procurement, ground station infrastructure, satellite operations, and maintenance. Separately, we also provide dedicated image tasking capacity on Company owned or customer owned satellites.

Our business model is aligned with our mission and public benefit purpose: to accelerate humanity toward a more sustainable, secure and prosperous world by illuminating environmental and social change. We are dedicated to the continuous pursuit of creating an unbiased, scientifically accurate, and trusted source of data about the changing planet.

Industry Trends

We believe that the increasing call for global peace and security, as well as the digital and sustainability transformations of the global economy, are fueling a need for a greater volume of and more rapidly delivered Earth observation data. We believe that we can accelerate this transformation by providing valuable Earth data that businesses and governments can utilize to better measure and monitor change in physical assets.

Peace & Security: Organizations such as governments, Non-Governmental Organizations (“NGOs”), media and think tanks are tackling increasingly complex global challenges on a daily basis. We believe that our satellite imagery, satellite hardware development capabilities, and tools can help enable unbiased, factual, and timely reporting and decision making by governments, NGOs, media and think tanks. Further, we believe the data from space that we provide is critical to global transparency and to encourage peace and security.

~~Sustainability~~Digital Transformation: Organizations ~~globally~~across industries are ~~focused~~driving onoperational ~~proactively~~improvements ~~managing~~and taking advantage of new growth opportunities by leveraging third-party data, their ~~environmental~~own ~~impact~~proprietary data, and ~~operating~~artificial ~~more~~intelligence ~~sustainably.~~technologies, ~~While~~including ~~regulations~~generative ~~overseeing~~artificial ~~environmental~~intelligence ~~impact~~technology (“GenAI”), machine learning, computer vision and ~~sustainability~~large language models (“LLMs”) (collectively, “AI”), all of which are driving a digital economic shift across many sectors. In addition, as more organizations digitize their workflows, it is increasingly important to deliver solutions that are cloud-native to take advantage of the cost savings and scale derived from cloud technologies.

2Sustainability Transformation: Organizations globally are focused on proactively managing their environmental impact and operating more sustainably. While regulations overseeing environmental impact and sustainability are subject to policy makers’ priorities in each country or region, we believe the shift toward monitoring and managing environmental outcomes and responding to natural disasters will continue; and that satellite imagery and capabilities are a critical component of effective and broad-scale sustainability solutions.

subject to policy makers’ priorities in each country or region, we believe the shift toward monitoring and managing environmental outcomes and responding to natural disasters will continue; and that satellite imagery and capabilities are a critical component of effective and broad-scale sustainability solutions.

Digital Transformation: Organizations across industries are driving operational improvements and taking advantage of new growth opportunities by leveraging third-party data, their own proprietary data, and artificial intelligence technologies, including generative artificial intelligence technology (“GenAI”) and large language models (LLMs) (collectively, “AI”), all of which are driving a digital economic shift across many sectors. In addition, as more organizations digitize their workflows, it is increasingly important to deliver solutions that are cloud-native to take advantage of the cost savings and scale derived from cloud technologies.

Overall, we believe these transformational shifts are driving demand for near real-time understanding of the impact of global changes across the Earth. The first step for organizations undergoing the digital and sustainability transformations, as well as those seeking to establish and maintain peace and security, is to understand context and consistently measure and monitor relevant data. With shared context and metrics, we believe that businesses and governments can improve operational efficiency, resource allocation, risk mitigation, and strategic decision making with data-enabled applications.

~~Our Opportunity~~3

~~Our~~Table ~~founding team built Planet on the concept~~ of “agile aerospace” methodology: the rapid development and deployment of new space-based hardware and related software systems, similar to the “agile software” approach of releasing early and often to rapidly iterate capabilities. By harnessing trends in miniaturization, we have built, launched, and maintained hundreds of compact, powerful satellites at a significantly lower cost than traditional aerospace companies, an improvement that we believe is similar to the transition from the mainframe computer to the desktop computer. This has enabled us to leverage industry innovations in AI, computing, and cloud-based storage to house and analyze a distinctive data set of daily Earth changes, and to build market-leading tools to help customers and partners extract value from those data sets. Our innovation in agile aerospace has also enabled us to improve the cost-performance of satellite manufacturing, ground stations, and mission operations.Contents

Our ~~extensive~~Technology Earth data set and robust analytic capabilities which are optimized to monitor ongoing activity, are delivered through our cloud-native platform. By providing this analytic ready data to our partner ecosystem as well as our end customers, we believe we can expand the use cases we can address across industries at scale. We believe globally consistent and reliable satellite imagery data is a critical component that can fuel the impact of these economic transitions across sectors.

Our innovation in agile aerospace has also enabled us to improve the cost-performance of satellite manufacturing, ground stations, and mission operations.

Our Fleet

We have deployed a constellation of compact, high-performance satellites that capture a daily data set of global changes at a significantly lower cost than traditional models. This continuous stream of imagery serves as the foundational intelligence layer for the advanced analytics and cross-sector tools that empower our customers to extract immediate value.

Monitoring: Our SuperDove satellites work together to create an always-online scanner for the planet with the goal to image the Earth every day at a resolution (Ground Sampling Distance, “GSD”) of up to 3.5 meters. This allows our customers to monitor any areas of interest, discover trends, identify changes and gain timely insights — and is the backbone to our one-to-many business model. We also combine Planet Monitoring with other scientific-grade radiometric data from public satellite data programs, including NASA/USGS-Landsat and ESA/EU Copernicus, to provide customers with a stream of consistent Earth data, using an algorithm that corrects variability in sensors to produce a consistent feed of data for valuable time-series analyses. This pre-processing and data harmonization often eliminates the need for additional data preparation before a customer can run advanced analytics on the data, which helps make satellite imagery analysis easier and practical, particularly for machine learning applications.

High-Resolution Tasking: With high-resolution SkySat and Pelican satellites in orbit and our rapid revisit capability, we can capture a specified location several times per day to achieve a resolution (GSD) of up to 50 centimeters after processing. The agile tasking satellites, all powered by an application programming interface (“API”), can perform multiple imaging modes, including points, long strips, stereo collects, and video.

Hyperspectral: Our hyperspectral imaging satellite, Tanager, is designed to deliver full-spectrum imagery across the visible and shortwave infrared regions, capturing over 400 spectral bands at a resolution (GSD) of 30 meters. Tanager was developed in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and sponsored by Carbon Mapper, a philanthropically funded effort to detect and track methane and CO2 super-emitters. Tanager-1, the first satellite in this offering, was launched in August 2024.

Proprietary Big Data:

With our fleet of satellites, we are able to collect unique and proprietary global data every day and high-resolution data of a specified location several times per day with agile tasking. Once the raw data is collected, our data pipeline leverages machine learning and AI capabilities are married with remote sensing science to automate the data processing and produce analytics-ready, Earth data.

Using and contributing to open data standards via the Open Geospatial Consortium, our cloud-native proprietary technology, autonomously performs critical processing and overall harmonizing of images for time series and for use in data fusion and analysis. We collect hundreds of millions of square kilometers of Earth data every day, collected over the Earth’s landmass and some areas of water. These images are added to our archive of proprietary

Table of Contents

Earth observation data dating back to 2009 and daily Earth scanning data dating back to 2017. Because this immense historical archive is impossible to go back in time to re-collect, we believe it represents a significant competitive advantage. Our deep data archive is used to train our models, an important asset for delivering useful insights.

Our Offerings

Our cloud-native Earth Observation platform enables customers and partners to access, analyze, and act on our proprietary data catalog by discovering relevant data layers, task high resolution satellites including dedicated image tasking capacity, extract useful information, and deliver insights through custom-built solutions or geographical information system (“GIS”) workflows via APIs and browser-based applications. We also make Planet data available for purchase more simply and directly through our Planet Insights Platform (which has integrated the former Sentinel Hub platform), which facilitates rapid user adoption, particularly by empowering users to self-service our solutions.

Core to making our data more impactful are our solutions and Planetary Variables, which leverage AI and computer vision to detect change and provide measurements of key phenomena occurring on the Earth’s surface. We also work closely with partners, particularly those focused on leveraging Generative AI technology (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to derive actionable insights from Planet’s Earth Observation data. We aim to continuously acquire, integrate and partner with new capabilities and tools, thereby improving the user experience of our platform as well as providing tools that simplify the use of earth observation data. Essentially, we believe enhanced derived product solutions can speed up the mission utility and business value for our customers and partners.

Our agile aerospace approach and differentiated satellite technology have enabled us to increasingly engage in satellite services arrangements, wherein we provide a broad spectrum of advanced offerings to large scale government and enterprise customers, including designing and manufacturing customer-owned satellites. We also provide critical related services in these satellite services arrangements such as reliable mission systems engineering, launch procurement, ground station infrastructure, satellite operations, and maintenance.

Our Technology

Since our founding, we have built capabilities across three deep core competencies, each operating together to accelerate the digitization and sustainability transformations. These include (1) Agile Aerospace; (2) Proprietary Big Data; and (3) Our Platform and Analytics.

Agile Aerospace: We are a pioneer in “agile aerospace” — the rapid development and deployment of new space-based hardware and related software systems. We believe making powerful satellites in small packages has enabled us to launch more satellites than our nearest competitor. It enables us to design missions that were unheard of until recently, such as our daily data set delivered via our satellite fleet. It has further allowed us to rapidly innovate — resulting in more and better data for our customers, as compared with historical data satellite services, allowing us to drive the expansion of our platform and customer base and inform what future data sets to collect. We also believe it enables us to quickly address emerging market requirements ahead of other providers.

We have engaged in strategic partnerships leveraging our agile aerospace approach and differentiated technology. Examples of this include our Tanager hyperspectral satellite, made possible by the philanthropically funded Carbon Mapper Coalition, and the satellite services agreement with SKY Perfect JSAT announced in January 2025. Under the JSAT agreement, Planet expects to build, launch, and operate 10 Pelican high-resolution tasking satellites for JSAT. Planet intends to leverage the increased capacity of the expanded fleet to serve government and commercial customers around the world. We may engage in similar satellite services engagements in the future.

Proprietary Big Data: Our technology is designed to put the power of knowledge about the Earth into the hands of more people. Our aerospace innovation has enabled us to maintain the world’s largest fleet of imaging satellites in history, with the capability to image the world every day. This has enabled us to generate a proprietary, vast data archive that grows daily.

With our fleet of satellites, we are able to collect unique and proprietary global data every day and high-resolution data of a specified location several times per day with agile tasking. Once the raw data is collected, our data pipeline leverages machine learning and AI capabilities married with remote sensing science to automate the data processing and produce analytics-ready, Earth data.

use in data fusion and analysis. We collect hundreds of millions of square kilometers of Earth data every day, collected over the Earth’s landmass and some areas of water. These images are added to our archive of proprietary Earth observation data dating back to 2009 and daily Earth scanning data dating back to 2017. Because this immense historical archive is impossible to go back in time to re-collect, we believe it represents a significant competitive advantage. Our deep data archive is used to train our models, an important asset for delivering useful insights.

Our fleet of satellites enables us to provide proprietary data solutions, including: (1) Planet Monitoring, (2) Planet Tasking, and (3) Planet Hyperspectral.

Planet Monitoring: Our SuperDove satellites work together to create an always-online scanner for the planet with the goal to image the Earth every day at a resolution (Ground Sampling Distance, “GSD”) of up to 3.5 meters.

Planet Tasking: With high-resolution satellites in orbit and our rapid revisit capability, we can capture a specified location several times per day to achieve a resolution (GSD) of up to 50 centimeters after processing. The agile tasking satellites, all powered by an application programming interface (“API”), can perform multiple imaging modes, including points, long strips, stereo collects, and video.

Planet Hyperspectral: Our hyperspectral imaging satellite, Tanager, is designed to deliver full-spectrum imagery across the visible and shortwave infrared regions, capturing over 400 spectral bands at a resolution (GSD) of 30 meters. Tanager was developed in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and sponsored by Carbon Mapper, a philanthropically-funded effort to detect and track methane and CO2 super-emitters. Tanager-1, the first satellite in this offering, was launched in August 2024.

Platform and Analytics: Our cloud-native Earth Observation platform enables customers and partners to access, analyze, and act on our proprietary data catalog by discovering relevant data layers, extracting useful information, and delivering insights through custom-build solutions or GIS workflows via APIs and browser-based applications. We have recently made Planet data available for purchase more simply and directly through our Planet Insights Platform (which has integrated the former Sentinel Hub platform), which facilitates rapid user adoption, particularly by empowering users to self-service our solutions without formal sales interaction. We believe this serves as a natural entry point for some of our smaller accounts, enabling them to realize the value of Planet’s offerings, leading to broader awareness of our solutions throughout their networks and organizations.

Core to making this data more impactful are our Analytics products, which leverage computer vision to detect objects and highlight attention on certain occurrences, and our Planetary Variables, which provide measurements of key phenomena occurring on the Earth’s surface. Some of our derived products leverage data from third party sources, such as those produced by the government-operated fleets like Sentinel and LandSat, which enhance the value of our derived products.

We also work closely with partners, particularly those focused on leveraging Generative AI technology (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to derive actionable insights from Planet’s Earth Observation data. We aim to continuously acquire, integrate and partner with new capabilities and tools, thereby improving the user experience of our platform as well as providing tools that simplify the use of earth observation data. Essentially, we believe enhanced derived product solutions can speed up the mission utility and business value for our customers and partners.

We offer customers a variety of capabilities, including the following:

(1)Planet APIs: We provide APIs for hosting, analyzing, and streaming our satellite data archive, including data from government-operated fleets like LandSat and Sentinel. With Planet APIs, developers can quickly and efficiently do raster and statistical analysis, and stream the results into GIS software. Many customers use Planet data and APIs to power web applications and large data pipelines.

(2)Planet Apps: We have developed proprietary web applications that make it easy to work with our geospatial data. These applications enable customers to order through our platform, perform real-time image correction, monitor areas for change over time, work with analytics, and create and store easy-to-use artifacts. Given the high volume and quality of our imagery and historical archive, these tools provide an optimal platform to access our data.

(3)Planet Basemaps: Using proprietary algorithms on our daily global imaging, we build basemaps from the most recent imagery over broad areas. Our machine learning algorithms select the best pixels from hundreds of thousands of scenes, removing clouds and transforming the images into visually consistent and scientifically accurate basemaps that empower AI-ready time-series analysis. We create global basemaps monthly and deliver custom basemaps to our customers for selected areas and times.

(4)Planet Analytic Feeds: We have built automated, cloud-native, global-scale analytics on top of our data set and made them accessible by APIs and web applications. Drawing on cutting edge techniques in machine learning and computer vision from Planet and with partners, Planet Analytic Feeds harness the power of our extensive imagery archive to detect distinct objects, including vessels, aircraft, roads and buildings, and identify changes in our imagery.

(5)Planetary Variables: We produce and offer Planetary Variables advanced algorithms that process satellite data from Planet’s satellites and broader observations from a range of public satellite constellations, including NASA LandSat and ESA Sentinel satellites, among others. These programs capture different but complementary data sets, such as passive microwave data, other spectral bands, and more. Our goal with these products is to capture and quantify the changes in dynamic systems such as soil water content, land surface temperature, crop biomass and forest carbon and structure, and render that information to the people on the ground tasked with making decisions.

Our Customers

Our customers frequently subscribe to daily data feeds covering their areas of interest. Historically, specially trained technical imagery analysts typically had to hand-process satellite data that was months out-of-date. We are able to deliver powerful capabilities including both data and analytics directly to customer and partner workflows daily through automated interfaces.

We are committed to building deep relationships with our customers by providing easy access to critical geospatial data and analytics in an increasingly consumable format. In addition, with our subscription services and data products, customers can monitor and detect changes and create insights that can help drive timely decision-making, and improve operational efficiency, resource allocation, and risk assessment and mitigation.

Our People

We are a passionate team of creative individuals that solve hard problems and strive to make an impact every day. We invest in a culture of learning, teaching, and dialogue, work together to deliver insight to our customers, bring our all, own our mistakes, and build for the future. We aim to identify, recruit, retain, incentivize and integrate our existing and new employees, advisors and consultants, because we believe our people are our most important assets.

As of January 31, ~~2025~~2026, we had a total of approximately ~~970~~1,000 employees, including approximately ~~810~~945 full time employees, working across 3029 countries worldwide. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, though in some countries our employees may be subject to industry-wide collective bargaining agreements as a matter of law. We have not had any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Well-being

One of our top priorities is to maintain the health and well-being of our employees and their families. To achieve this goal, we offer robust and comprehensive health, welfare and retirement benefits for our employees, including medical, dental, vision, flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA), life insurance, short- and long-term disability, paid time off, various voluntary programs, parental assistance, tuition and work from home reimbursements, a robust employee assistance program (EAP) and a 401(k) retirement plan. We also conduct employee satisfaction surveys at least annually, in addition to feedback cycles.

Many of our employees work remotely and we have adopted internal policies around flexibility, work from home expenses, and extra time off. To encourage flexible working and better work-life balance, we maintain a soft-closing policy during certain times of the year, and have adopted a “flex-Friday” policy which gives all of our employees one extra Friday off almost every month. We also conduct virtual meditation and yoga classes and other well-being programs throughout the year.

Compensation and Advancement

To ensure a compelling total rewards philosophy and practice, we have policies in place to monitor and deliver fair and equitable compensation to employees based on their role, contribution, and performance. In addition, we offer eligible employees equity awards to align their contribution to the Company with a share in our financial success.

Our employees and the people we are seeking to hire value growth and development. We provide opportunities to grow and develop through work experiences, mentorship programs, personal development experiences, training and tuition reimbursement. To help our employees navigate their careers, we also maintain a job architecture program, which we believe creates transparency about career development within our organization and helps facilitate discussions around career growth.

Our Intellectual Property

Our IP portfolio includes patents covering novel features of our spacecraft, trademarks identifying our company and various products, copyright ownership of the imagery archive, and trade secrets related to manufacturing and operations. We own the copyrights for the imagery captured by our spacecraft. These images measure in the millions per day and are unregistered. We occasionally will license imagery under the Creative Commons for promotional purposes, but otherwise imagery is licensed pursuant to commercial license agreements. We treat our know-how in the design, manufacture, and operation of spacecraft, ground based data relay, image processing, analysis and platform systems to be proprietary.

Seasonality

Various factors can affect the distribution of our revenue between reporting periods, including factors affecting customer behavior, buying patterns and usage-based contracts. For example, we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience fluctuations in our operating results due to the timing of contract awards and renewals and the timing of global events that may increase customer usage of our data services such as weather changes, natural disasters or other global events, or when commodity prices are at certain levels.

Government Regulations

Our industry is highly regulated due to the sensitive nature of satellite technology. Additionally, we contract with numerous U.S. government agencies and entities. We must comply with, and are affected by, laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of U.S. government and other governments’ contracts, including foreign governments. The laws and regulations governing our business and operations, including the distribution of satellite imagery, and the development, production, and deployment of our satellite systems, may change in the future. Our business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected if we are required to alter our business operations to comply with such changes or if our ability to sell our products and services on a global basis is reduced or restricted due to increased U.S., E.U. or other government regulation. This risk is heightened by the geopolitical relevance of our data, which can shed light on sensitive operations around the globe. However, based on information available to us, we don’t expect that our continued compliance with current government regulations, including environmental regulations, will have a material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or our competitive position. For more information about the regulations affecting our business and the related risks, see "Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters" in Item 1A, "Risk Factors".

Corporate Information

We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on December 15, 2020, under the name dMY Technology Group, Inc. IV, a blank check company (“dMY IV”). On December 7, 2021, we consummated a business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) with Planet Labs Inc.

Further, in future periods, our revenue growth could slow or our revenue could decline for a number of reasons, including slowing demand for our platform, increased competition, changes to technology, a decrease in the growth of our overall market, or our failure, for any reason, to continue to take advantage of growth opportunities. We have also encountered, and will continue to encounter, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as the risks and uncertainties described below. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties and our future revenue growth are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our business, operating results and financial condition could differ materially from our expectations, and our business could suffer.12

You should consider our prospects in light of ~~operations~~the ~~could~~risks and uncertainty frequently encountered by growth stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. Expansion of our offerings into satellite services, in particular, has led to greater uncertainty with regard to future revenue growth and related costs. As we increasingly target large-scale satellite services contracts, we face longer and less predictable sales cycles, significant upfront costs, and complex procurement requirements that may require us to commit significant resources before achieving revenue recognition. Further, revenue from our satellite services contracts may be ~~harmed~~slower than expected due to the potential for delays in our satisfaction of contractual performance obligations, including potential delays resulting from regulatory, operational, or other reasons outside of our control.

If the market for our offerings fails to grow as we expect or takes longer than we expect to grow, or if our current customers or prospective customers fail to adopt our offerings, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

The market for our offerings, including our satellites, satellite data, related analytics products, services, satellite services offerings, and AI-enabled solutions continues to evolve and may not be as significant as we expect. Further, the number and types of customers that we believe may be interested in our offerings may be fewer than we anticipate. We cannot be sure that we will be able to convert interest in our offerings into sales, that these markets will continue to grow or, even if they do grow, that businesses, governments and other potential customers will adopt our platform or any of the offerings we develop in the future. Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to further penetrate the existing market for our offerings as well as emerging markets, including for satellite services and AI-enabled solutions. Our ability to further penetrate these markets depends on a number of

Table of Contents

factors, including the cost, performance, and perceived value associated with our offerings. We have spent, and intend to keep spending, considerable resources to educate current and potential customers about our offerings; however, we cannot be sure that these expenditures will help our ~~platform~~offerings achieve any additional market acceptance. In addition, it may take substantial time, potentially longer than we initially forecast or anticipate, to bring on new customers or for existing customers to purchase new ~~products or~~ offerings we are developing or may ~~have~~develop in the future. Furthermore, potential customers could have made significant investments in alternative satellites, platforms or services, or may not be persuaded that our ~~proprietary~~offerings ~~data~~are is needed for their business or operations. If ~~the~~these ~~market~~markets ~~fails~~fail to grow or ~~grows~~grow more slowly than we currently expect or businesses, governments and other potential customers fail to adopt our ~~platform~~offerings, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

There is increasing competition from commercial entities and governments in our markets, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

We operate in a competitive industry, and we expect competition to continue to increase, in particular from other commercial entities and governments that operate in our markets and ~~offer~~provide competitive ~~products~~offerings. We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including the following:

•

•the size and diversity of our employee and customer bases;

•

•the timing and market acceptance of ~~products~~our ~~and services~~offerings, including the developments and enhancements to those ~~products and services~~offerings, ~~offered~~provided by us or our competitors;

•

Our products and services compete with satellite and aerial imagery and related products and services offered by a range of private and government providers. Existing private competitors include Airbus Defense and Space, BlackSky technology, Inc., ImageSat International N.V., Maxar Technologies Ltd., Satellogic S.A., CG Satellite, foreign governments including India, South Korea, Taiwan and others that sell their data commercially, as well as aggregators of imagery and imagery-related products and services, including Apple, Google and Microsoft. In addition, we compete against a number of manned and unmanned aerial providers of high-resolution imagery, whose offerings provide certain benefits over satellite-based imagery, including better resolution and accuracy. In addition, the U.S. government, the European Commission, and other governments have developed, constructed, launched and begun to operate their own imagery satellites, and may further enhance such imagery satellites, which could reduce their need to rely on commercial suppliers. For example, the United States provides free access to Earth imagery through Landsat and MODIS, and the European Commission provides free access to Earth imagery through the Copernicus program and the Sentinel satellites. If the United States and/or the European Commission expand these programs, or if other governments begin to sell or provide free Earth imagery from satellites in the commercial markets, the value of our ~~imagery~~brand ~~may~~strength berelative ~~further diluted. Further, foreign governments have in the past subsidized and may continue~~ to ~~subsidize the development, launch and operation of imagery satellites by~~ our ~~current or future~~ competitors ~~and/or encouraged and may continue to encourage them to undercut prices, including the prices we offer for our data~~. ~~Such increased competition from government entities or the commercial entities they subsidize could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.~~

Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, personnel and other resources than we do. These factors may allow our competitors to respond more quickly than we can to

Table of Contents

new or emerging technologies and changes in customer preferences. For example, if our competitors are able to build a competing fleet of satellites that is larger than our fleet, we may be unable to attract or retain customers. These competitors may also engage in more extensive research and development efforts, undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns and adopt more aggressive pricing policies which may allow them to build larger customer bases than we have. Our competitors may develop offerings that are similar to ours or that achieve greater market acceptance than ours. Also, our competitors may have long-established relationships as preferred providers with various commercial entities and governments in our markets. We may fail to convert or retain customers if competitors are able to develop superior offerings or if they are able to offer similar offerings at a lower price point, including offerings that allow for use of other data to achieve similar methodological results. These factors could attract customers away from our services and reduce our market share, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

With the introduction of new ~~products~~offerings and ~~services and~~ new market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. The emergence of new remote imaging technologies or the continued growth of low-cost imaging satellites, ~~particularly~~and ~~when combined with~~ AI-~~based~~enabled solutions, may compete with and make our ~~products~~offerings ~~and~~less ~~services~~valuable ~~and~~to ~~may~~current ~~make~~or potential customers or render our historical data ~~analytics~~archive ~~solutions~~ less valuable to ~~current~~certain ~~or potential~~ customers. To compete effectively against such ~~products and services~~offerings, we must continue to develop and provide customers with solutions that enable them to derive compelling value from our satellite imagery compared to what may be available from other providers. As we expand our offerings to include more integrated downstream and AI-enabled solutions, we may increasingly compete with our own strategic partners and resellers who offer similar solutions, which could create actual or perceived conflicts of interest, potentially leading such partners to reduce their reliance on our data in favor of alternative sources.

In addition, the increase in launch vehicle development along with frequent and routine transport access to space, as well as the new fleets of satellites from companies such as SpaceX, OneWeb and Amazon~~/Kuiper~~ Leo, may lower barriers to entry and further increase risk of competition or such companies may decide to compete directly. Such competitors’ offerings could be more advanced than ours, or they may be able to offer services at lower prices than ours. For example, SpaceX’s vertical integration and use of its own launch vehicles provides cost and speed advantages that could enable it to offer more advanced or lower priced offerings, if they were to decide to compete with us directly. Due to competitive pricing pressures the average selling price of our ~~products~~offerings ~~and services~~ may further decrease. If we are unable to offset decreases in our average selling prices by increasing our sales volumes or by adjusting our product mix, our revenue and operating margins may decline, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed.

We may fail to cost-effectively acquire new customers or obtain renewals and expansions from our existing customers, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our continued growth depends, in part, on our ability to cost-effectively acquire new customers. Numerous factors, however, may impede our ability to add new customers, including our failure to attract, effectively train, retain, and motivate sales and marketing personnel with the technical expertise needed to sell complex AI-integrated solutions and hardware and satellite services offerings, our failure to develop or expand relationships with third parties, our inability to convert initial usage into ongoing utilization of our ~~platform~~offerings, ~~products~~ and ~~services, and~~ our failure to successfully deliver our ~~products~~offerings ~~or services~~ and provide quality customer support once delivered.

The majority of our revenue is derived from multi-year licensing agreements and a significant and increasing portion of our revenue is derived from high-value, long-term satellite services contracts. Our success ~~also~~ depends, in part, on our customers renewing ~~their~~these ~~subscriptions~~agreements when existing contract terms expire, and our ability to expand our relationships with our existing customers. ~~The~~However, ~~majority of~~ our ~~revenue is~~customers ~~generated~~generally byhave ~~licensing~~no ~~arrangements~~obligation ~~with~~to ~~our~~renew ~~customers~~or ~~that~~expand ~~grant~~their ~~them~~agreements ~~the~~with ~~right~~us, ~~to use imagery~~ and ~~related~~in ~~data~~the ~~that~~normal ~~are~~course ~~delivered~~of ~~digitally~~business, ~~through~~some ~~our~~customers ~~online~~have ~~platform,~~elected innot ~~addition~~ to ~~providing related services~~renew. ~~Imagery~~In ~~licensing~~addition, ~~agreements~~our ~~vary~~customers bymay ~~contract~~decide ~~but~~not ~~generally~~to ~~have~~renew ~~annual~~their oragreements ~~multi-year~~with ~~contractual terms.

Our customers generally have no obligation to renew or expand their licensing agreements with us, and in the normal course of business, some customers have elected not to renew. In addition, our customers may decide not to renew their agreements with a similar contract period or at the same prices or terms or may decide to downgrade their subscriptions. Further, our government customers have broad discretion to unilaterally terminate, modify or suspend our contracts with them, as further discussed below in “—A meaningful portion of our business depends on sales to governmental entities and is subject to the policies, priorities and regulations of such governmental entities, and changes to which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and business prospects.”

Our customer retention or our customers’ use of our platform and services may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our platform and our customer support, our subscription and usage-based model, the prices, features, or perceived value of competing offerings, changes to our offerings, or general economic conditions. For example, our customers rely on our customer support personnel to resolve issues and realize the full benefits that our platform and our products provide. If we do not help our customers quickly resolve issues and provide effective ongoing support, our ability to maintain and expand our subscriptions and products to existing and new customers could suffer, and our reputation with existing or potential customers could suffer.

In addition, uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, including as a result of inflationary pressures, currency exchange rate fluctuations, geopolitical conflicts, tariffs and retaliatory measures, and high interest rates

•Our global business model, including our satellite services contracts with international customers and expanding manufacturing operations in Germany, subjects us to heightened operational, regulatory, geopolitical, and macroeconomic risks that could materially impact our results. These include political, social, and/or economic instability, including geopolitical conflicts, trade tensions and any sanctions or heightened controls that result from such conflicts;, risks related to export control laws and other governmental regulations applicable to transactions involving non-U.S. persons or foreign jurisdictions, the administrative burden of navigating new and/or unexpected changes to regulatory requirements and enforcement, and increased costs related to tariffs.

•compliance with statutory equity requirements;

•increased costs related to tariffs; and

•management of tax consequences.

If we are unable to manage the complexity of global operations successfully, our financial performance and operating results could suffer.

If any of the above events occur, they could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to continue to develop, integrate and operate our satellites and related offerings and could materially adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have in the past and may continue to experience a number of issues, such as delayed launches, launch failures, failure of our satellites to reach their planned orbital locations, significant increases in the cost of satellite launches, and insufficient capacity available from satellite launch providers. Any such issue could result in the loss of our satellites or cause significant delays in their deployment, which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Delays in launching satellites are common and can result from satellite manufacturing delays, unavailability of reliable launch opportunities with suppliers, launch supplier schedule delays, delays in obtaining required regulatory approvals and launch failures. If we do not meet our satellite manufacturing schedules, a launch opportunity may not be available at the time the satellites are ready to be launched. We also share launches with other satellite manufacturers who may cause launch delays that are outside of our control. There are a limited number operational of launch suppliers and increasing demand for launch slots, which may heighten the foregoing risks to the extent any of such launch suppliers changes their terms or otherwise experiences capacity constraints.

If our satellites fail to operate as intended, are destroyed or otherwise become inoperable, our ability to collect imagery and market our offerings successfully could be materially and adversely affected and customers could be encouraged to seek alternative solutions even if less adequate.

Our satellites employ advanced technologies and sensors that are exposed to severe environmental stresses during launch and in space that could affect our satellites’ performance. Hardware component problems in space could lead to deterioration in performance or loss of functionality of a satellite, with attendant costs and potential revenue losses if they impact our Earth imaging capabilities or ability to distribute such imaging. In addition, human operators may execute improper implementation commands that may negatively impact a satellite’s performance. Exposure of our satellites to an unanticipated catastrophic event such as a failed launch, a meteor shower, geomagnetic solar storms, unpredictable solar weather or atmospheric density, a collision with space debris, intentional or unintentional kinetic, radiation or blinding interference, other directed energy or similar attacks, or cybersecurity attacks, have from time to time also reduced, and could in the future reduce, the performance of, or completely destroy, the affected satellites.

We cannot assure you that our satellites will continue to operate successfully in space throughout their expected operational lives. Even if a satellite is operated properly, technical flaws in that satellite’s sensors or other technical deficiencies or anomalies could significantly hinder its performance, which could materially affect our ability to collect imagery and market our offerings successfully. While some anomalies are covered by insurance policies, others are not or may not be covered, or may be subject to large deductibles. Further, the actual orbital maneuver lives of our satellites may be shorter than we anticipate, and we may be required to reduce available capacity on our satellites prior to the end of their orbital maneuver lives.

We may suffer a partial or total loss of a deployed satellite or experience other problems with our satellites that may reduce their performance or reduce the useful life of our satellites to shorter than expected. During any period of time in which a satellite is not fully operational, we may lose most or all of the revenue that otherwise would have been derived from that satellite. In addition, we may not have on hand, or be able to obtain in a timely manner, the necessary funds to cover the cost of any necessary satellite replacement. Further, it can take up to six months or longer to manufacture new satellites and significant additional time to secure and launch such replacement satellites. As a result, if our satellites fail to operate as intended, are destroyed or otherwise become inoperable, it could take a significant amount of time to get the replacement satellites in orbit. During this period of time, our operations could be materially impaired with little we could do to alleviate the issue. Our inability to repair or replace a defective satellite or correct any other technical problem in a timely manner could result in a significant loss of revenue and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have experienced in the past and may continue to experience failures or disruptions of ground operations infrastructure or interference with our satellite signals, which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

We operate an extensive ground infrastructure, including over a dozen ground stations maintained by third parties. These ground stations are used for controlling our satellites and our customers’ satellites and downloading imagery to eventually be provided to our customers. We may experience a partial or total loss of one or more of these facilities due to natural disasters (tornado, earthquake, flood, hurricane or other natural events), fire, acts of war or terrorism or other catastrophic events. A failure at any of these facilities could cause a significant loss of service for our customers. Additionally, we may experience a failure in the necessary equipment at our satellite control center, at any relevant back-up facility, or in the communication links between these facilities and remote teleport facilities. A failure or operator error affecting tracking, telemetry and control operations might lead to a breakdown in the ability to communicate with one or more satellites or cause the transmission of incorrect instructions to the affected satellites, which could lead to a temporary or permanent degradation in satellite performance or to the loss of one or more satellites. Intentional or non-intentional electromagnetic or radio frequency interference, including by nation-state actors or their agents, could result in a failure of our ability to deliver our services to our customers. We have experienced a variety of these equipment and communications failures from time to time, resulting in impacted services. A failure at any of our facilities or in the communications links between our facilities or interference with our satellite signal could cause our revenues to decline materially and could adversely affect our ability to market our services and harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to develop and release platform and service enhancements and new products and services to respond to rapid technological change, or to develop new designs and technologies for our satellites, in a timely and cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

The market for our platform is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements, changes in satellite design and technologies, changing customer demands, and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products and services embodying new technologies can quickly make existing products and services obsolete and unmarketable. If the market does not perceive our service offerings to be of high quality, if we fail to introduce new and improved products and services, or if we introduce new products or services that are not favorably received by the market, we may not be able to attract or retain customers. If we are unable to attract new customers in numbers sufficient to grow our business, or if we suffer attrition among customers, our revenue may decrease, and our operating results will be adversely affected.

Designing and building satellites and developing analytics products and services, as well as deploying software updates, are inherently complex and technologically demanding endeavors. Due to this complexity, it can take a long time and require significant research and development expenditures to develop and test new or enhanced satellites and software updates, as well as data analytic products and services. In addition, the complexity of developing and deploying new satellites and data analytic products and services makes it difficult for us to predict how long it may take for such updates to our platform to be ready and available to be sold to customers. As a result, the amount of time it takes to develop such updates could be substantially longer than we initially anticipated.

The success of any enhancements or improvements to our offerings or any new offerings depends on several factors, including timely completion, successful manufacturing and deployment of the satellites needed to capture the relevant data, competitive pricing, adequate quality testing, integration with existing technologies and our platform, and overall market acceptance. We cannot be sure that we will succeed in developing, marketing, and delivering on a timely and cost-effective basis enhancements or improvements to our platform or any new offerings that respond to technological change or new customer requirements or demands, nor can we be sure that any enhancements or improvements to our platform will achieve market acceptance. Any new satellites or other offerings that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain errors or defects, or such data or data analytic products may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate sufficient revenue. The introduction of new data analytic products and enhancements, as well as the development and deployment of new satellites, ground station infrastructure, and managed satellite operations, require a substantial outlay of capital and could also increase costs associated with customer support and customer success as demand for these services increase. This increase in cost could negatively impact our profit margins, including our gross margin. Moreover, even if we introduce new offerings, we may experience a decline in revenue, gross profit and gross margin of our existing offerings that is not offset by revenue from the new products or services. Further, we may make changes to our offerings that customers do not find useful and we may also discontinue certain features or increase the price or

Moreover, large enterprises may be directly impacted by various macroeconomic conditions such as high inflation, tariffs, interest rate fluctuations and financial market volatility, which may result in a decrease of spending by these large enterprises, including a decrease in spending on our offerings, and consequently reduce our revenue and impact our financial condition and results of operations.

environment and resulting changes in policy or budgetary priorities. We cannot be certain that current levels of government funding for our offerings will continue, or that such funding will be accessible consistent with expected timelines due to budgetary review activities and potential freezes on or cancellation of various governmental programs.

Our contracts with government customers subject our business to the statutes and regulations applicable to companies doing business with the government, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) and agency supplements. The FAR governs all aspects of U.S. government contracting, including contractor qualifications and acquisition procedures, and also contains provisions that give the U.S. government many rights and remedies which are unfavorable to contractors and not typically found in commercial contracts. Additionally, if a government were to object to certain of our operations (for example, the capturing of certain sensitive imagery), it is possible that the government could modify or reduce its business with us, and our contracts with certain government customers could, for example, be terminated for convenience, as further described below. These rights and remedies allow government customers, often with broad discretion relative to commercial contracts, among other things, to:

•

unilaterally terminate, and often to unilaterally modify (including reduction of orders), contracts for its convenience, and in that event, we may fail to realize the full value of such contracts;

Even where we are successful in obtaining a government contract, we may encounter bid protests from unsuccessful bidders. Bid protests could result, among other things, in significant expenses to us, contract modifications, or even loss of the contract award. Even where a bid protest does not result in the loss of a contract award, the resolution can extend the time until contract activity can begin and, as a result, delay the recognition of revenue.

As a prime contractor to the U.S. government, from time to time we rely upon subcontractors to perform work under government contracts. We are responsible for our subcontractor’s work, even though in some cases we have limited involvement in that work. If one or more of our subcontractors fails to satisfactorily perform the agreed-upon services on a timely basis or violates U.S. government contracting policies, laws or regulations, our ability to meet contract requirements may be compromised. In extreme cases, performance or other deficiencies on the part of our subcontractors could result in a customer terminating our contract. Conversely, in some cases we act as a subcontractor to other entities that are prime contractors to a government entity, which likewise makes us subject to risks related to such entity's performance.

New regulations or procurement requirements or changes to current requirements, or interpretations thereof, could increase our costs and risk of non-compliance. In addition, if we fail to comply with these laws, regulations and contract requirements, our contracts may be subject to termination, and we may be subject to financial and/or other liability under our contracts, the Federal Civil False Claims Act (including treble damages and other penalties), or criminal law. In particular, the Federal Civil False Claims Act incentivizes private individuals, including present and former employees, to notify the U.S. government of potential violations by contractors. Any resulting penalties, fines, suspension, or damages could adversely affect our operations, financial results and business prospects.

Our role as a contractor to agencies and departments of the U.S. government results in our being routinely subject to investigations, audits and reviews relating to our information provided in our government contract bids and proposals and contractor registrations, as well as compliance with our government contracts and related laws and regulations, which may be conducted without our knowledge. Adverse findings in these investigations, audits and reviews can lead to criminal, civil or administrative proceedings, and we could face civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, loss of export privileges, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with U.S. government agencies. In addition, we could suffer serious harm to our reputation and competitive position if allegations of impropriety were made against us, whether or not true. Responding to any investigation, audit, review or allegation could result in a materially significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees. If our reputation or relationship with U.S. government agencies were impaired, or if the U.S. government otherwise ceased or significantly decreased the amount of business it does with us, it would adversely affect our operations, financial results and business prospects.

Disruptions in U.S. government operations and funding could have a material and adverse effect on our revenues, earnings and cash flows and otherwise adversely affect our financial condition.

A meaningful portion of our revenue is generated from U.S. and other government customers. In the current U.S. political environment, there is significant uncertainty with respect to legislation, regulation and policy throughout the government. Policy changes, shifts in international and trade relations, budget uncertainty, shifting funding priorities, U.S. government shutdowns or the need to operate under continuing resolutions, the failure of the U.S. government to manage debt, the failure of the U.S. government to approve budgets, and/or or other disruptions to federal government operations could result in contract terminations, delays in contract awards, reduction in contract scope, the failure to exercise contract options, the cancellation of planned procurements and fewer new business opportunities, all of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.

If we are not successful in maintaining and expanding the interoperability of our products with third-party products and services, our business, financial position, and operating condition and results of operations could be harmed.23

The competitive position of our platform depends in part on its interoperability with products and services of third parties. As such, we must continuously modify and enhance our platform to adapt to changes in hardware, software, networking, and database technologies. In the future, one or more technology companies may choose not to support

The competitive position of our offerings depends in part on its interoperability with products and services of third parties. As such, we must continuously modify and enhance our offerings to adapt to changes in hardware, software, networking, and database technologies. In the future, one or more technology companies may choose not to support the operation of their hardware, software, or infrastructure, or our offerings may not support the capabilities needed to operate with such hardware, software, or infrastructure. In addition, to the extent that a third party were to develop software or services that compete with ours, that provider may choose not to support our offerings. We intend to facilitate the compatibility of our offerings with various third-party hardware, software, and infrastructure by maintaining and expanding our business and technical relationships. If we are not successful in achieving this goal, our business, financial condition, and operating results could be adversely impacted.

The competitive position of our products also depends on the availability of third party data sets and imagery, as well as the ability to use our products with third party data sets and imagery, which allows customers to integrate multiple data sets and conduct valuable analyses. As such, we must continuously design software to ensure our products’ compatibility with third party imagery. Further, many customers or potential customers seek AI-enabled solutions, and as a result, we expect our ability to continue to develop or partner with providers of AI solutions that interoperate with our offerings will impact our ability to drive future growth and compete effectively. If we fail to anticipate our customers’ integration needs, our business, financial condition, and operating results could be adversely impacted. Additionally, if third party data sets which we do not control, and some of which are publicly sourced, become unavailable or unreliable for any reason, to us or our customers who integrate such data into our offerings, it may negatively impact our ability to develop or deliver products that use such data and customer satisfaction with our products and our business, financial condition, and operating results could be adversely impacted.

Our revenue, results of operations and reputation may be negatively impacted if our products fail to meet contractual requirements or our products contain defects or fail to operate in the expected manner.

We sell proprietary data that is generated through our technologically advanced fleet of satellites and further analyzed with our proprietary ~~platform analytics~~solutions, and also sell satellites, ground station infrastructure, and managed operations to a limited number of strategic customers. Sophisticated software, including software developed by us, may contain defects that can unexpectedly interfere with the software’s intended operation. Defects may also occur in components and products that we manufacture or purchase from third parties. Most of the satellites and systems we have developed must function under demanding and unpredictable operating conditions and in harsh and potentially destructive environments. In addition, we contract with third-parties, which we do not control, to provide services in connection with the launch into orbit of our satellites, adding further risks to our ability to perform under contracts with our customers, including those that rely on our satellites to gather data.

We employ sophisticated design and testing processes and practices, which include a range of stringent factory and on-site acceptance tests with criteria and requirements that are jointly developed with customers. Our systems may not be successfully implemented or operate or give the desired output, or we may not be able to detect and fix all defects in the satellites, hardware and software we utilize for the data we sell or resolve any delays or availability issues in the launch services we procure. Failure to do so could result in increased costs, lost revenue and damage to our reputation and may adversely affect our ability to win new contract awards.

Due to environmental and other factors, including those described elsewhere in this section, we may be unable to deliver imagery for the locations, responsiveness and quality requested by customers and therefore fail to meet contractual requirements. Failure to do so may require us to cancel the contracts and result in lost revenue, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.24

We are partially dependent on resellers of our imagery and partnerships for a portion of our revenue. If these resellers or partners fail to market or sell our products and services successfully, our business would be harmed.

We partially rely on resellers and partners to market and sell our products and services. Our resellers and partners may not have the skill or experience to develop regional commercial markets for our products and services, or may have competing interests that negatively affect their sales of our products and services. If we fail to enter into reseller agreements on a timely basis or if our resellers and partners fail to market and sell our imagery products and services successfully, these failures could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We partially rely on resellers and partners to market and sell our offerings. Our resellers and partners may not have the skill or experience to develop regional commercial markets for our offerings, or may have competing interests that negatively affect their sales of our offerings. If we fail to enter into reseller agreements on a timely basis or if our resellers and partners fail to market and sell our offerings successfully, these failures could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Downturns or volatility in macroeconomic conditions and/or uncertainty in the political environment could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Our revenue, gross margin, and ability to achieve and maintain profitability depend significantly on macroeconomic conditions. Weaknesses in the global economy and financial markets, including current global economic conditions and consumer trends, have in some cases led to lower demand for our ~~platform and data~~ offerings, and any adverse changes in general domestic and global economic conditions that may occur in the future, including any recession, economic slowdown or disruption of credit markets, could further exacerbate such effects.

Additionally, the impact of macroeconomic conditions, including adverse global and domestic economic conditions resulting from national or global health concerns or other trends, are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Specifically, additional factors that could have an impact on the demand for our ~~platform and data~~ offerings include worldwide or regional recession, increased unemployment, fluctuations in exchange rates, inflation, tariffs, changes to international trade control laws or regulations, failures of banks and financial institutions or other liquidity concerns at such financial institutions, changes in taxation, energy prices, supply chain disruptions, high interest rates, and other similar macroeconomic factors. Additionally, the demand for our ~~platform and data~~ offerings may be affected due to financial market volatility, negative financial news, energy shortages or cost increases, labor costs, and other economic factors. Such a shift would materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In addition, any disruption in the credit markets could impede our access to capital. If we have limited access to additional financing sources, we may be required to defer capital expenditures or seek other sources of liquidity, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

We ~~depend~~rely on a limited number of third-party suppliers for critical supplies and services, cloud-based infrastructure and for research, development, manufacturing and launch of our satellites, ~~which~~and ~~could~~disruptions into ~~turn harm~~ our ~~business,~~supply ~~prospects,~~chain ~~financial condition and results of operations.

(SpaceX), and Stoke Space Technologies, Inc. Increased tariffs on our suppliers’ products are expected to increase the cost of manufacturing and deploying our satellites. Also, if any of our suppliers’ or service providers’ businesses fail or their products become subject to additional tariffs, it would reduce competition and could increase the cost of manufacturing and deploying our satellites, conducting research and development and launch services. Adverse events with respect to any of our component suppliers, service providers or launch providers could also result in the delay of the design, construction or launch of our satellites. General economic conditions may also affect the ability of our suppliers, service providers and launch providers to provide services on commercially reasonable terms or to fulfill their obligations in terms of manufacturing schedules, launch dates, pricing, or other items. Even where alternate suppliers for such services are available, we may have difficulty identifying them in a timely manner, we may incur significant additional expense in changing suppliers or service providers, and this could result in difficulties or delays in the design, construction or launch of our satellites. We have in the past experienced, and may continue to experience, certain delays in the design, construction or launch of our satellites or disruptions to our platform, products, or solutions, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, there are increasing expectations in various jurisdictions that companies monitor the environmental and social performance of their suppliers, including compliance with a variety of labor practices, as well as consider a wider range of potential environmental and social matters, including the end of life considerations for products. Compliance can be costly, require us to establish or augment programs to diligence or monitor our suppliers, or, in the case of legislation such as the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, to design supply chains to avoid certain regions altogether. Failure to comply with such regulations can result in fines, reputational damage, or import ineligibility for our products or product components, or otherwise adversely impact our business.

24We purchase components for the manufacturing of our satellites from third party suppliers and depend on those suppliers to deliver to the contracted specifications in order for us to maintain and grow our fleet of satellites and offerings. We may experience difficulties if these suppliers do not meet their obligations to deliver and support this equipment or if they are unable to supply the required components for existing or new satellite designs, on time, at certain prices, of certain quality, or at all. If such suppliers are unable to supply the required components, we will need to engage in new supply relationships. Given the technical and sophisticated nature of the components we utilize, there is a limited number of suppliers we could use and, for a small number of components, we rely on a single supplier. Further, making such a change in suppliers could take time and could result in us having increased costs or force us to make design changes that impact other components or capabilities of the satellites. As a result of the foregoing, any change in supply relationships could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely upon third-party providers of cloud-based infrastructure to host our products. Any disruption in the operations of these third-party providers, limitations on capacity or interference with our use could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices and pricing structures for our ~~products and services~~offerings, which may impact our business, financial results and results of operations.

We expect that we may need to change our pricing model from time to time, including as a result of competition, global economic conditions, reductions in our customers’ spending levels generally, changes in product mix, pricing studies or changes in how data analytics are employed by organizations. Similarly, as we introduce new ~~products~~offerings, ~~and~~such as satellite services and AI-enabled solutions, or as a result of the evolution of our existing ~~products and services~~offerings, we may have difficulty determining the appropriate price structure for our ~~products and services~~offerings. In addition, as new and existing competitors introduce new products or services that compete with ours, or revise their pricing structures, we may be unable to attract new customers at the same price or based on the same pricing model as we have used historically. Moreover, as we continue to target selling our ~~products~~offerings ~~and services~~ to larger organizations, these larger organizations may demand substantial price concessions. As a result, we may be required from time to time to revise our pricing structure or reduce our prices, which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

For example, we generally establish fixed price subscription contracts for our imaging services, the revenue for which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, based on usage by customer over time, or to a lesser degree, up front based on transfer of access to the imagery to the customer. We have also entered into a long-term manufacturing and services ~~contract~~contracts to sell satellites and related services and may enter into similar arrangements in the future. If we fail to accurately forecast the cost of such contracts, especially for those contracts with unlimited downloads, or long-term manufacturing and hardware delivery obligations, if we fail to complete our contractual obligations in a manner consistent with the terms of the contract or if we fix the price for some projects too low for the services we ultimately provide, we could adversely affect our overall profitability and/or revenue opportunity, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The loss of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract, hire, retain and train other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently depend on the continued services and performance of our key personnel and management team. In addition, much of our key technology and systems are custom-made for our business by our personnel. The loss of key personnel, including key members of management as well as our engineering, marketing, sales, and product development personnel, could lead to a loss of expertise as well as disrupt our operations and have an adverse effect on our ability to grow our business.

In addition, the maintenance and development of our ~~platform~~offerings requires individuals with significant experience in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering and software engineering. Further, our ability to successfully execute strategic initiatives, such as expanding our ~~salesforce~~sales force, will be dependent on our ability to hire and retain a sufficient number of individuals with the appropriate capabilities and level of experience. If we do not succeed in attracting, retaining and motivating highly qualified personnel or obtaining/maintaining applicable export licenses to support needed for the work of non-U.S. personnel, our business may be seriously harmed. Further, we also face significant competition for employees, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area where our headquarters are located, and as a result, skilled

support work of our personnel, our business may be seriously harmed. Further, we also face significant competition for employees, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area where our headquarters are located, and as a result, skilled employees in this competitive geographic location can often command higher compensation and may be difficult to hire. We have in the past, and may in future, lose a number of employees as a result of one or more employees leaving and encouraging others to join them. If this were to occur again, it could seriously harm our business.

As we ~~become~~grow and develop as a ~~larger~~public company, we may find our recruiting efforts more challenging or face difficulty maintaining our company culture. We believe our culture has been a key contributor to our success to date and any failure to preserve our culture could negatively affect our ability to retain and recruit personnel, which is critical to our growth, and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. The incentives to attract, retain and motivate employees provided by our equity compensation or by future arrangements, such as through cash bonuses, may not be as effective as in the past. If we do not succeed in attracting excellent personnel or retaining or motivating existing personnel, we may be unable to grow effectively and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

Further, given our reliance on stock-based compensation, any volatility in stock price may impact our ability to retain and attract top talent over time given the competition for strong talent within technology organizations, or could result in additional compensation related expenses and greater dilution to our current stockholders.

Failure to effectively develop and expand our sales and marketing capabilities could harm our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our products and platform.

We must expand our sales and marketing organization to increase our sales to new and existing customers. We plan to continue expanding our direct sales force, both domestically and internationally, particularly our direct enterprise sales organization focused on sales to the world’s largest organizations. It may require significant time and resources to effectively onboard new sales and marketing personnel, and an increasingly remote workforce could result in less effective, more operationally complicated, or lengthier onboarding processes. We also plan to dedicate significant resources to sales and marketing programs that are focused on these large organizations. Once a new customer begins using our platform, our sales team will need to continue to focus on expanding consumption with that customer. All of these efforts will require us to invest significant financial and other resources, including in industries and sales channels in which we have limited experience to date. Our business and results of operations will be harmed if our sales and marketing efforts generate increases in revenue that are smaller than anticipated. We may not achieve anticipated revenue growth from expanding our sales force if we are unable to hire, develop, integrate, and retain talented and effective sales personnel, if our new and existing sales personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, or if our sales and marketing programs are not effective.

We have substantial customer concentration, with a limited number of customers accounting for a substantial portion of our revenues and accounts receivable.

Significant portions of our revenue and accounts receivable are concentrated with a limited number of customers. For the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026, ~~one~~two ~~customer~~customers accounted for 1913% and 12% of revenue. As of January 31, ~~2025~~2026, one customer accounted for 1233% of accounts receivable. Further, accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are thus subject to the increased risk of us being unable to collect on overdue amounts.

While we intend to increase the number of customers using our platform, we believe it is possible that our revenue and our operating results in the near term will continue to depend on sales to a small number of customers. As a result of this customer concentration, our revenue could fluctuate materially and could be materially and disproportionately impacted by decisions of these customers or any other significant customer to cancel their 28

While we intend to increase the number of customers using our offerings, we believe it is possible that our revenue and our operating results in the near term will continue to depend on sales to a small number of customers. As a result of this customer concentration, our revenue could fluctuate materially and could be materially and disproportionately impacted by decisions of these customers or any other significant customer to cancel their agreements with us or otherwise no longer use our services. In addition, if we are unable to diversify our customer base, we will continue to be susceptible to risks associated with customer concentration.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, seasonality in our business and fluctuations in our operating results due to usage-based contracts.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, seasonality in our business and fluctuations in our operating results due to usage-based contracts. For example, we typically have customers who increase their usage of our data services when they need more frequent data monitoring over broader areas during peak agricultural seasons, during natural disaster events, or when commodity prices are at certain levels. These customers may expand their usage and then subsequently scale back. We believe that the seasonal trends that we have experienced in the past may occur in the future. To the extent that we experience seasonality, it may impact our operating results and financial metrics, as well as our ability to forecast future operating results and financial metrics. Additionally, when we introduce new products to the market, we may not have sufficient experience in selling certain products to determine if demand for these products is or will be subject to material seasonality.

Technological developments or other changes in our industry could render our satellites, or any of their components, less competitive or obsolete, which may seriously harm our business.

Our industry is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and evolving customer demands. These technological developments require us to integrate new technology into our satellites. Our competitors may develop or acquire alternative and competing technologies, which could allow them to create new and disruptive imaging satellites or other associated technology. The risk from the introduction of superior competing satellite technologies is particularly exacerbated in our industry as it can take months to years to deploy any new satellites. As a result, if any technological change or change in customer demands renders our satellites or products obsolete or insufficient, even if we are able to develop and deploy new technologies to compete and meet such demands, it would take substantial time until such satellites are operational. As a result of the foregoing, we may need to invest significant resources in research and development to maintain our market position, keep pace with technological changes and customer demands and compete effectively. Our failure to improve our satellites in a timely manner may seriously harm our business. In addition, if the components we use to manufacture our satellites were to become obsolete due to technological change or other factors, it could lead to inventory obsolescence, which may lead to inventory impairment charges. Further, it takes significant time to manufacture new components and if any of our inventory were to become obsolete, it would take asignificant ~~while~~time before we could build new satellites. This delay in building new satellites could seriously harm our business.

We outsource substantially all of the infrastructure relating to our cloud-accessible products to third-party hosting services. Our cloud-based products depend on protecting the virtual cloud infrastructure hosted by third-party hosting services by maintaining its configuration, architecture, features and interconnection specifications, as well as the information stored in these virtual data centers, which is transmitted by third-party internet service providers. Any limitation on the capacity of our third-party hosting services could impede our ability to onboard new customers or expand the usage of our existing customers, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any incident affecting our third-party hosting services’ infrastructure may be caused by human error, intentional bad acts, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, war, terrorist attacks, power losses, hardware failures, systems failures, telecommunications failures and similar events, including events related to climate change. For more information, see “—We are subject to a series of risks related to climate change.” A prolonged service disruption affecting our cloud-based solution for any of the foregoing reasons would negatively impact our ability to serve our customers and could damage our reputation with current and potential customers, expose us to liability, cause us to lose customers or otherwise harm our business. We may also incur significant costs for using alternative equipment or taking other actions in preparation for, or in reaction to, events that damage the third-party hosting services we use.

In the event that our service agreements with our third-party hosting services are terminated, or there is a lapse of service, elimination of services or features that we utilize, interruption of internet service provider connectivity or

Table of Contents

damage to such facilities, we could experience interruptions in access to our platform as well as significant delays and additional expense in arranging or creating new facilities and services and/or re-architecting our cloud solution for deployment on a different cloud infrastructure service provider, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business depends on a strong brand. If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, our ability to retain or expand our base of customers will be impaired and our business and operating results will be harmed.

We believe that the brand identity that we have developed has significantly contributed to the success of our business. We also believe that maintaining and enhancing the “Planet” brand is critical to expanding our base of customers and current and future partners. Maintaining and enhancing our brand may require us to make substantial investments and these investments may not be successful. If we fail to promote and maintain the “Planet” brand, or if we incur excessive expenses in this effort, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected. We anticipate that, as our market becomes increasingly competitive, maintaining and enhancing our brand may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Maintaining and enhancing our brand will depend largely on our continued ability to provide high quality products and services, which we may not do successfully.

In addition, we receive, and our customers’ use of our products and services receives, a high degree of media coverage, including social media coverage, around the world. If such media coverage presents, or relies on, inaccurate, misleading, incomplete, or otherwise damaging information regarding Planet, or if our current or potential customers have negative reactions to such media coverage, such coverage could damage our reputation in the industry and with current and potential customers, employees, and investors, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects could be adversely affected.29

and enhancing our brand may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Maintaining and enhancing our brand will depend largely on our continued ability to provide high quality offerings, which we may not do successfully.

In addition, we receive, and our customers’ use of our offerings receives, a high degree of media coverage, including social media coverage, around the world. If such media coverage presents, or relies on, inaccurate, misleading, incomplete, or otherwise damaging information regarding Planet, or if our current or potential customers have negative reactions to such media coverage, such coverage could damage our reputation in the industry and with current and potential customers, employees, and investors, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects could be adversely affected.

We are subject to a series of risks related to climate change.

There are inherent climate-related risks wherever business is conducted. Certain of our facilities, as well as our and third-party infrastructure on which we rely, are located in areas that have experienced, and are projected to continue to experience, various meteorological phenomena (such as drought, heatwaves, wildfire, storms, and flooding, among others) or other catastrophic events that may disrupt our or our suppliers’ operations, require us to incur additional operating or capital expenditures, or otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Climate change may increase the frequency and/or intensity of such events. For example, in certain areas, there has been an increase in power shutoffs associated with wildfire prevention. Climate change may also contribute to various chronic changes in the physical environment, such as sea-level rise or changes in ambient temperature or precipitation patterns, which may also adversely impact our or our suppliers’ operations. While we may take various actions to mitigate our business risks associated with climate change, this may require us to incur substantial costs and may not be successful, due to, among other things, the uncertainty associated with the longer-term projections associated with managing climate risk. For example, to the extent catastrophic events become more frequent, it may adversely impact the availability or cost of insurance.

Additionally, we expect to be subject to risks associated with societal efforts to mitigate or otherwise respond to climate change, including but not limited to increased regulations, evolving stakeholder expectations, and changes in market demand. Changing market dynamics, global and domestic policy developments, and the increasing frequency and impact of meteorological phenomena have the potential to disrupt our business, the business of our suppliers and/or customers, or otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Interruption or failure of our infrastructure or loss of our data storage due to a natural disasters or catastrophic event such as a pandemic, earthquake, fire, or flood, or disruptive weather, or a man-made problem such as a power disruption, ~~computer~~cyber ~~virus~~attacks, data security breach, terrorism or war, could hurt our ability to perform our daily operations effectively and provide our ~~products and services~~offerings, which could damage our reputation and harm our operating results.

Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, flooding, fire, power shortages, public health epidemics or pandemics, terrorism, political unrest, cyber- attacks, geopolitical instability, war, the effects of climate change and other events beyond our control. For example, our corporate headquarters are located in the San Francisco Bay Area, a region known for seismic activity. A significant natural disaster, such as an earthquake, fire or flood, occurring at our headquarters, at one of our other facilities, or at a facility where one of our launch partners is located or where our third-party suppliers’ facilities are located could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, our satellites may not be able to capture Earth images, either with sufficient clarity or detail, or at all, due to the occurrence of a variety of factors including cloud cover, smog, adverse weather conditions including hurricanes or tornadoes, dust storms, fog, fires or volcano eruptions, or other factors that are outside our control. Certain of these events may become more frequent or intense as a result of climate change. Further, if there is high demand on our constellation to capture images in a certain area, we may have difficulty tasking sufficient satellite coverage to capture high-resolution images in another region. As a result

The availability of our ~~products~~offerings ~~and services~~ depends on the continuing operation and availability of our satellites, satellites operations infrastructure, archived data, information technology and communications systems, and other related systems. Any downtime, damage to or disruption or failure of our systems as a result of a natural disaster or man-made problem could result in interruptions in our service, which could reduce our revenue and profits. Our systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from floods, fires, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, ~~computer~~cyber ~~viruses~~attacks, ~~ransomware and other malware,~~ denial of service attacks or other attempts to harm or disrupt our systems. We do not currently maintain a back-up production facility from which we can continue to collect, process and deliver imagery in the event of the loss of our primary capabilities. In the event we are unable to collect, process and deliver imagery from our primary facilities, our daily operations and operating results may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, our ground stations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, cyber- attacks or other intentional bad acts, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, war, terrorist attacks, power losses, hardware failures, systems failures, telecommunications failures and similar events, including events related to climate change. Such attacks or other bad acts could come from individuals, companies, rogue groups, terrorist organizations, governments, or affiliated actors. This risk is heightened by the geopolitical relevance of our data, which may expose globally the sensitive operations of such entities. This is especially true with respect to countries known or suspected to have actively carried out offensive operations on their own. Further, climate change has increased, and may continue to increase, the rate, size, and scope of natural disasters. ~~For more information, see “—We are subject to a series of risks related to climate change.”~~ In the event of such a natural disaster or other disruption, we could experience disruptions to our operations or the operations of suppliers, subcontractors, distributors, or customers, which could affect our ability to maintain launch schedules or fulfill our customer contracts. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could result in lengthy interruptions in our services and/or damage our reputation, which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Further, if our infrastructure, information technology and communication systems do not scale effectively with anticipated growth in our business, the effectiveness of such systems could be adversely affected.

Our satellites may not be able to capture Earth images due to weather, natural disasters or other external factors, or as a result of our constellation of satellites having restrained capacity.

Our satellites may not be able to capture Earth images, either with sufficient clarity or detail, or at all, due to the occurrence of a variety of factors including cloud cover, smog, adverse weather conditions including hurricanes or tornadoes, dust storms, fog, fires or volcano eruptions, or other factors that are outside our control. Certain of these events may become more frequent or intense as a result of climate change. For more information, see “—We are subject to a series of risks related to climate change.” Further, if there is high demand on our constellation to capture images in a certain area, we may have difficulty tasking sufficient satellite coverage to capture high-resolution images in another region. As a result of the foregoing, customers may not be able to procure images they want, which could adversely affect our relationship with such customers and our general reputation.

We may be subject to certain risks as a mission-driven company, including stockholder activism.

We believe that a critical contributor to our success has been our mission to use space to help life on Earth, by imaging the whole world and making global change visible, accessible, and actionable. This mission is a significant part of our business strategy and who we are as a company. However, we may make decisions regarding our business and products in accordance with our mission and values that may reduce our short- or medium-term operating results if we believe those decisions are consistent with the mission. Although we expect that our commitment to the mission will, accordingly, improve our financial performance over the long term, these decisions may not be consistent with the expectations of investors and any longer-term benefits may not materialize within the time frame we expect or at all, which could harm our business, revenue and financial results.

As such, we may in the future be subjected to litigation by those that disagree with aspects of our mission or features of our platforms that we have developed in support of our mission, as well as stockholder activism by investors who disagree with the management of our business. Responding to these actions could be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our business and operations and divert the attention of our management. Furthermore, uncertainties associated with such activities could negatively impact our ability to execute our strategic plan, retain customers and skilled employees and affect long-term growth. In addition, such activities may cause our stock price to fluctuate based on temporary or speculative market perceptions that do not necessarily reflect our business operations.

skilled employees and affect long-term growth. In addition, such activities may cause our stock price to fluctuate based on temporary or speculative market perceptions that do not necessarily reflect our business operations.

If we cannot maintain our company culture as we grow, our success and our business and competitive position may be harmed.

We believe our culture has been a key contributor to our success to date and that the critical nature of the platform that we provide promotes a sense of greater purpose and fulfillment in our employees. Any failure to preserve our culture could negatively affect our ability to retain and recruit personnel, which is critical to our growth, and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. As we grow and develop the infrastructure of a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our culture. If we fail to maintain our company culture, our business and competitive position may be harmed.

Limited insurance coverage and availability may prevent us from obtaining insurance to cover all risks of loss.

We intend to insure certain satellites in our constellation and certain manufacturing risks, inventory and launches to the extent that insurance is available at acceptable premiums. This insurance will not protect us against all losses to our inventory and satellites due to specified limitations, exclusions, deductibles and material change limitations, and it may be difficult to insure against certain risks, including a partial deterioration in satellite performance and satellite re-entry.

Although we intend to obtain and maintain insurance for our inventory, operating satellites and certain launches, any determination we make as to whether to obtain insurance coverage will depend on a variety of factors, including the availability of insurance in the market, regulatory requirements, the cost of available insurance and the redundancy of our operating satellites. Higher premiums on insurance policies will increase our costs and consequently reduce our operating income by the amount of such increased premiums. If the terms of on-orbit insurance policies become less favorable than those currently available, there may be limits on the amount of coverage that we can obtain or we may not be able to obtain insurance at all. Even if obtained, our on-orbit operations insurance will not cover any loss in revenue incurred as a result of a partial or total satellite loss.

Our financial results may fluctuate significantly and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business.

Our quarterly and annual results of operations, our key metrics discussed elsewhere in our public filings, and other metrics that analysts use to evaluate our business, have fluctuated in the past and may vary significantly in the future. Period-to-period comparisons of our operating results and other key metrics may not be meaningful. Accordingly, the results of any one quarter should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Our quarterly and annual financial results and metrics may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. These fluctuations could result in our failure to meet our expectations or those of securities analysts or investors. If we fail to meet these expectations for any particular period, the trading price of our Class A common stock could decline significantly. Factors that may cause these fluctuations include, without limitation, those listed below:

•

•the impact of an economic downturn or market volatility, including downturn caused by national and global health concerns, geopolitical tensions, tariffs, inflation or high interest rates, on our business and the businesses of our customers, prospective customers and partners;

•

•our ability to attract new customers;

•

Our past and future acquisitions will require significant management attention. Our acquisitions could disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value or adversely affect our operating results.

As part of our business strategy, we may make investments in complementary companies, products or technologies, and these acquisitions could pose challenges or risks. In this regard, we have made strategic acquisitions, including the acquisition of the BlackBridge group of companies in September 2015, the Terra Bella business from Google in April 2017, Boundless Spatial in March 2019, VanderSat in December 2021, Salo Sciences in January 2023, ~~and~~ Sinergise in August 2023, and Bedrock in November 2025. We do not know if we will be able to complete any future acquisitions or successfully integrate any acquired business, operate it profitably or retain its key employees, customers, partners or vendors. Integrating any newly acquired business, product or technology could be expensive and time-consuming, could disrupt our ongoing business and financial performance, and could distract our management. If we fail to successfully integrate the assets, technologies and employees from any acquired business, our revenue and operating results could be adversely affected. Any integration process will require significant time and resources, and we may not be able to manage the process successfully. We may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired technology and accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges. Further, any debt we incur to complete an acquisition could result in increased fixed obligations and include certain covenants that could impede our ability to manage our operations. Alternatively, if we use equity to finance any acquisitions, it could dilute our current stockholders. We may become liable for certain unforeseen pre-acquisition liabilities of an acquired business, including, but not limited to, successor liability for actions or noncompliance of an acquired business prior to such acquisition.

AI is enabled by or integrated into some of our and our third-party partners’ geospatial data and analytics platforms and solutions and is a growing element of our business offerings. As with many developing technologies, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its further development, adoption, and use, and therefore our business. AI algorithms may be flawed. Data sets may be insufficient, of poor quality, or contain biased or otherwise inaccurate information. Inappropriate or controversial data practices by data scientists, engineers, and end-users of our systems could impair the acceptance of AI solutions or result in brand and reputational harm. If the analyses and content that AI applications assist in producing are deficient or inaccurate, we could be subjected to competitive harm, potential legal liability, and brand or reputational harm.

Our use of AI also presents intellectual property risks. The development and deployment of our AI models may involve the use of third-party data, software, or other content, which may be subject to third-party intellectual property rights or usage restrictions. Content or outputs generated by our AI tools may not be eligible for copyright protection, may incorporate third-party copyrighted material, or may otherwise give rise to intellectual property claims against us. Additionally, our employees, contractors, or vendors may use third-party generative AI tools in connection with their work, which could result in the inadvertent disclosure of our confidential information or proprietary data into publicly available training sets, potentially impairing our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights and harming our competitive position.

AI is also subject to evolving legal and regulatory landscapes. It is likely that new laws and regulations will be adopted, or that existing laws and regulations may be interpreted in new ways that would affect our business and the ways in which we use, or contemplate the use of, AI/ML technology, our financial condition, and our results of operations, including as a result of the cost to comply with such laws or regulations or make any changes to our offerings necessitated by existing or future AI laws or regulations. For example, the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act (“AI Act”) introduced a regulatory landscape and prohibits certain AI applications and systems and imposes disclosure, transparency, training, and other requirements, including on the use of certain applications or systems. The AI Act or other AI-related laws and regulations could require us to alter or restrict our use of AI in our offerings and comply with monitoring and reporting requirements. We may need to devote substantial time and resources to evaluate our obligations under the AI Act and related laws and regulations to develop and execute planned measures designed to comply. Several other jurisdictions, including multiple states in the United States, have proposed and/or enacted laws aimed at regulating the deployment or provision of AI systems and services or otherwise addressing aspects of the development or use of AI. In addition, the significant increase in the use of AI has led to heightened scrutiny by government agencies, including the SEC's focus on AI-washing as a key enforcement priority and recent SEC and FTC enforcement actions against companies for their misleading claims about the use of AI in their offerings.

We also face competitive risk with respect to AI. Our competitors may incorporate AI into their products more quickly or more effectively than we do, which could negatively impact our competitive position and our ability to

retain and attract customers. If we are unable to keep pace with rapid developments in AI technologies or successfully integrate new AI capabilities into our offerings, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Some AI scenarios present ethical or regulatory issues. If we or our third-party partners enable or offer AI solutions that are controversial or illegal because of their purported or real impact on society, governments, the socio-political climate, our financial condition and operations or the financial condition and operations of our customers, we or our customers may experience competitive harm, legal liability and brand or reputational harm.

Our customers may fail to pay us in accordance with the terms of their agreements, necessitating action by us to compel payment.

We derive revenue principally from licensing rights to use imagery that is delivered digitally to our customers through our online platform. Our imagery licensing agreements vary by contract, but generally have annual or multi-year contractual terms. If customers fail to pay us under the terms of our agreements, we may be adversely affected both from the inability to collect amounts due and the cost of enforcing the terms of our contracts, including litigation. The risk of such negative effects increases with the term length of our customer arrangements. Furthermore, some of our customers may seek bankruptcy protection or other similar relief, including as a result of the impacts and disruptions caused by national and global health concerns or other global events, and fail to pay amounts due to us, or pay those amounts more slowly, either of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Cyber Security, Data Privacy and Intellectual Property

If we or our third-party service providers experience, or are unable to protect against, cyber- attacks, ransomware, security incidents, or security breaches, or if unauthorized parties otherwise obtain access to our customers’ data, our data, the data of our vendors and subcontractors, or our platform, then our platform may be perceived as not being secure, our platform and operations may be disrupted, we may become unable to meet our service level commitments, our reputation may be harmed, demand for our platform and products may be reduced, and we may incur significant liabilities or additional expenses which may not be covered by existing cyber insurance.

We collect, receive, store, generate, use, transfer, disclose, make accessible, protect, secure, dispose of, share, and otherwise process personal information, export-controlled information, confidential information and other information, including proprietary and sensitive information, in order to provide our service, to operate our business, for legal and marketing purposes, and for other business-related purposes. We rely significantly on third-party service providers and sub-processors to support our operations and to help us deliver services to our customers. These third parties may store or otherwise process personal information and other information on our behalf, and may use AI in doing so.

Security breaches or incidents, cyber- attacks or unauthorized access to our systems, platform, or products, or the systems of our third-party service providers, could lead to interruptions and other disruptions to our platform and other aspects of our operations, damage or unauthorized access to, or the loss, destruction, unavailability, or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or other processing of, our or our customers’ data, and claims, demands, disputes, and litigation made or initiated by governmental authorities and private parties, investigations and other proceedings initiated by governmental authorities indemnity obligations, fines, penalties, and other liabilities. We have previously been and may in the future become the target of cyber- attacks by third parties, including by third parties that may seek unauthorized access to our or our customers’ data or to disrupt our ability to provide our services. In addition, many of our employees work remotely, which may pose additional data security risks.

While we have taken steps to protect the confidential and personal information that we have access to, our security measures or those of our third-party service providers that store or otherwise process certain data on our behalf, including certain of our and our customers’ data, could be breached or otherwise compromised or we or such service providers could suffer damage or unauthorized access to, or loss, destruction, unavailability, or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or other processing of, our data or third-party data we or our service providers maintain or otherwise process, including customer data. Our ability to monitor our third-party service providers’ data security is limited. Cyber- attacks, ransomware and other malware, viruses and other malicious code, employee and contractor mistakes, errors, or malfeasance, social engineering (including spear phishing attacks and certain attacks seeking to deploy malware on systems), supply chain attacks, and general hacking have become more prevalent in our industry, particularly against cloud services. If our security measures are or are believed to have been breached or otherwise compromised, or if we or any of our third-party service providers suffers or are believed to have suffered a security breach or incident, or if any data we or such service providers maintain or otherwise process is, or is believed to have been, damaged, accessed without authorization, or subject to loss, destruction, unavailability, or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or other processing, whether as a result of third-party action, employee or contractor error, malfeasance, or otherwise, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer, and we could incur significant liability.

We use third-party technology, systems, and services in a variety of contexts, including, without limitation, storage of our imagery, encryption and authentication technology, employee email, content delivery to customers, back-office support, credit card processing, and other functions. Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect customer data and prevent data loss and other security breaches and incidents, including systems and processes designed to reduce the impact of a security breach at a third-party service provider, such measures cannot provide absolute security and may not otherwise be effective. There can be no assurance that any security measures that we or our third-party service providers have implemented will be effective against current or future security threats.

Many different security vulnerabilities exist and exploits of such vulnerabilities continue to evolve, and we may be unable to anticipate ~~cyberattacks~~cyber attacks and other means of attempting or effectuating security breaches or incidents, identify or detect any breach or incident, react in a timely manner, or implement adequate preventative measures. Among other things, our applications, systems, networks, software, or physical facilities could be breached or otherwise compromised, or the personal, confidential, or export-controlled information that we store or otherwise process could be subject to unauthorized acquisition or other processing or otherwise compromised, due to employee error or malfeasance, if, for example, third parties fraudulently induce our employees or our members to disclose information or user names and/or passwords, or otherwise compromise the security of our networks, systems and/or physical facilities. Additionally, employees or service providers have in the past and may in the future inadvertently misconfigure resources or systems, or misdirect certain communications, in manners that lead to security incidents.

Third parties may also conduct attacks designed to deny customers access to our services or otherwise disrupt our platform or other aspects of our ~~products,~~offerings ~~services,~~ and operations. Third parties, including nation-state actors or their agents, may also conduct attacks designed to gain control over our systems, data and satellites. These and other cybersecurity risks we face may be heightened by conflicts, ~~including~~wars ~~the war between Russia~~ and ~~Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Hamas, respectively, and~~ other geopolitical events. Further, these risks are heightened by the geopolitical relevance of our data, which may expose globally the sensitive operations of individuals, companies, rogue groups, terrorist organizations, governments, or affiliated actors. This is especially true with respect to countries known or suspected to have actively carried out offensive operations.

Also, the use of AI technologies may result in security incidents and our use of AI technologies may create additional cybersecurity risks or increase cybersecurity risks, including risks of security breaches and incidents. Further, AI technologies may be used in connection with certain cybersecurity attacks and may increase the intensity or effectiveness of such attacks or otherwise create heightened cybersecurity risks. For more information, see “—Issues in the use of artificial intelligence, including machine learning and computer vision (together, “AI”), in our geospatial data and analytics platforms may result in reputational harm or liability.

The costs to respond to and otherwise address a security breach or incident and/or mitigate any security vulnerabilities that may be identified could be significant, our efforts to address these matters may not be successful, and these matters could result in interruptions, delays, disruptions, and cessation of systems and our services, negative publicity, harm to our reputation, and other harm to our business and our competitive position. For example, the SEC has adopted rules for mandatory disclosures of cybersecurity incidents suffered by public companies and disclosures to other government agencies may be required, depending upon the circumstances. We could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices in response to a security breach or incident or related regulatory actions or claims, demands, or litigation (or in anticipation of a potential claim of breach or violation of laws, regulations, or other actual or asserted obligations, or of regulatory action or litigation), any of which could have an adverse effect on our business. Further, any security breach or other security incident, or the perception that one has occurred, could result in a loss of customer confidence in the security of our platform, the reliability of our imagery, and damage to our brand, reduce demand for our offerings, disrupt our platform and other aspects of our business operations, cause us to fail to meet our service level commitments, require us to spend material resources in efforts to investigate or correct the breach or incident and in efforts to prevent future security breaches and incidents, expose us to legal proceedings and liabilities, including litigation, regulatory enforcement, and indemnity obligations, result in our customers terminating contracts with us, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate for fines, judgments, settlements, penalties, costs, attorney fees, or other impacts that arise out of security breaches or incidents or privacy violations or related matters. A privacy or security breach or incident or actual or asserted privacy violation, or the successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage, or results in changes to our insurance policies (including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements), could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, we cannot be sure that our existing insurance coverage will continue to be available on acceptable terms or that our insurers will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. Our risks are likely to increase as we continue to expand, grow our customer base, and use, store, transmit, and otherwise process increasingly large amounts of proprietary and sensitive data.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished, and our business may be adversely affected.

We rely and expect to continue to rely on a combination of confidentiality and license agreements with our employees, consultants and third parties with whom we have relationships, as well as trademark, copyright, patent and trade secret protection laws, to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. However, we may fail to enter into all necessary agreements, and even if entered into, these agreements may be breached or may otherwise fail to prevent disclosure, third-party infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property and proprietary rights, may be limited as to their term and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure or use of proprietary information. We have filed applications for certain aspects of our intellectual property in the United States and other countries. However, third parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringe our intellectual property and proprietary rights, third parties may challenge intellectual property and proprietary rights held by us, pending and future copyright, trademark and patent applications may not be approved, and we may not be able to prevent infringement without incurring substantial expense. Our ability to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights may be limited in certain countries outside the United States, which could make it easier for competitors to capture market position in such countries by utilizing technologies that are similar to those developed or licensed by us. Competitors also may harm our sales by designing products that mirror the capabilities of our products or technology without infringing on our intellectual property rights. We have asserted, and in the future may continue to assert, our intellectual property rights against third parties. If the protection of our intellectual property and proprietary rights is inadequate to prevent use or appropriation by third parties, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished and competitors may be able to more effectively mimic our services and methods of operations. Any of these events would have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A significant portion of our revenue is generated by licensing our intellectual property rights in our images to customers. We implement processes to ensure our customer agreements include the proper restrictions on how customers can use our images and related intellectual property rights. However, these processes may fail or customers may otherwise not comply with their contractual obligations limiting their rights to use or further exploit or disseminate our images, which could substantially reduce the value of our images and related intellectual property rights. Enforcing our intellectual property rights against customers that violate the terms of their license restrictions could be costly, time consuming, and may not always be effective. 37

Any of these events would have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be, in the future, party to intellectual property rights claims and other litigation which are expensive to support, and if resolved adversely, could have a significant impact on us.

Companies in the technology and aerospace industries own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks, domain names, and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement, misappropriation, or other violations of intellectual property rights.

In addition, we may be subject to claims that we have wrongfully hired an employee from a competitor, or that our employees, consultants, independent contractors, or advisors have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information of third parties or that our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers. Furthermore, to the extent we engage in acquisitions or strategic partnerships, we may be subject to claims that intellectual property developed by acquired businesses or partners infringes the rights of others.

While we have been building our intellectual property portfolio, our competitors and others may now and in the future have significantly larger and more mature patent portfolios than we have. Litigation has involved, and will likely continue to involve, patent-holding companies or other adverse patent owners who have no relevant product revenue and against whom our own patents may therefore provide little or no deterrence or protection. Any claim of infringement by a third party, even those without merit, could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, distract our management from our business, distract our technical teams from new development, and require us to cease use of certain intellectual property or technology. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. The costs of supporting such litigation are considerable, and there can be no assurances that a favorable outcome will be obtained. We may be required to settle such litigation on terms that are unfavorable to us, or if any litigation fails to settle and proceeds to trial or final judgment, we may be subject to an unfavorable judgment that may not be reversible upon appeal. The

Table of Contents

terms of such a settlement or judgment may require us to cease some or all of our operations, redesign or discontinue certain products or services, or pay substantial damages, royalties, or other fees. With respect to any intellectual property rights claim, we may have to seek a license to continue practices found to be in violation of a third party’s rights, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all, and may significantly increase our operating expenses. As a result, we may also be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology or practices or discontinue the practices. The development of alternative non-infringing technology or practices could require significant effort and expense. Our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected as a result of the occurrence of any of the foregoing.

We currently have a number of agreements in effect pursuant to which we have agreed to defend, indemnify and hold harmless our customers, suppliers and other partners from damages and costs which may arise from the infringement of intellectual property rights. The scope of these indemnity obligations varies, but may, in some instances, include indemnification for damages and expenses, including attorneys’ fees. Any claim for indemnification by our partners could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

If we use open source software inconsistent with our policies and procedures or the license terms applicable to such software, we could be subject to demands to release portions of our source code, legal expenses, damages, or costly remediation or disruption to our business.

We use open source software in our platform. From time to time, companies that use open source software have faced claims challenging the use of such open source software and their compliance with the terms of the applicable open source license. We may be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software or claiming non-compliance with the applicable open source licensing terms. Additionally, while we have policies and procedures in place designed to govern our use of open source software, there is a risk that we may incorporate open source software with onerous licensing terms, including the obligation to make our source code available for others to use or modify without compensation to us, or inadvertently use open source software in a manner that exposes us to claims of non-compliance with the applicable terms of such license, including claims for infringement of intellectual property rights or for breach of contract. If we receive an allegation that we have violated an open source license, we may incur significant legal expenses, be subject to damages, be required to redesign our product to remove the open source software or publicly release certain portions of our proprietary source code, or be required to comply with onerous license restrictions, all of which could have a material impact on our business. Even in the absence of a claim, if we discover the use of open source software inconsistent with our policies, we could expend significant time and resources to replace the open source software or obtain a commercial license, if available. All of these risks are heightened by the fact that the ownership of open source software can be uncertain, leading to litigation, and many of the licenses applicable to open source software have not been interpreted by courts, and these licenses could be construed to impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our products. Any use of open source software inconsistent with our policies or licensing terms could harm our business and financial position.

We capture, store, use, and otherwise process data relating to individuals, which subjects us to governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy, data protection and cybersecurity, and compliance or any failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business.

We receive, store, and otherwise process personal information and other data, including data relating to individuals. There are numerous federal, state, local, and foreign laws regarding privacy, data protection, and the retention, sharing, use, disclosure, protection, and other processing of personal information and other data relating to individuals, the scope of which are changing, subject to differing interpretations, and may be inconsistent among jurisdictions or conflict with other laws, regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations, or other actual or asserted obligations.

Table of Contents

We also are subject to the terms of our own privacy policies and certain obligations to third parties, and may seek to comply with, or be asserted to be subject to, certain industry standards, industry codes of conduct, and other actual or asserted obligations, relating to privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity. These actual and asserted obligations may be inconsistent with each other and may conflict with other laws, regulations, or actual or asserted obligations, or our policies and practices. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws, regulations, and other actual or asserted obligations are often uncertain and may change over time. Further, the U.S. federal and state governments and agencies, as well as foreign governments and regulators, may in the future enact new legislation, modify existing laws and regulations, and promulgate new laws and regulations governing the collection, use, disclosure, storage, transmission, destruction, or other processing of personal data and other information, or security measures with regard to such information.

New or modified laws, regulations, or other actual or asserted obligations, or new interpretations of such laws, regulations, or other actual or asserted obligations, may add additional complexity, requirements, restrictions, and potential legal risk, require additional investment in resources to update compliance programs, may require additional facilities, resources, or practices, such as requirements to maintain or process data in certain jurisdictions, and could impact business strategies and the availability of previously useful data or certain means of using or otherwise processing such data. For example, several jurisdictions have adopted, or are considering adopting, restrictions on the resolution of satellite imaging, and these restrictions may change as technology and public awareness of potential privacy impacts evolve. We may find it necessary or appropriate to modify our services or related policies to address applicable laws, regulations, industry practices or standards, codes of conduct, or other actual or asserted obligations regarding the use, disclosure, security, or other processing of data, including data of our customers or others, including with respect to manners in which consent for the use, disclosure, or other processing of such data is obtained, possibly in a material manner, which we may be unable to do on commercially reasonable terms at all, and may limit our ability to develop new products, services, and features and otherwise make use of data.

Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with laws, regulations, our privacy policies, contractual or other actual or asserted obligations, including industry standards or codes of conduct, relating to privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, or the protection, storage, use, retention, capture, or other processing of data, including personal information or other data relating to individuals, may result in claims, demands, and litigation by private parties, governmental inquiries, enforcement actions, and other proceedings, fines, penalties, or other liabilities, public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others, a loss of trust in us by our customers, reduction in demand for our ~~products and services~~offerings, and other harm to our reputation and market position, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our policies regarding customer confidential information and support for individual privacy and civil liberties could cause us to experience adverse business and reputational consequences.

We strive to protect our customers’ confidential information and individuals’ privacy consistent with applicable laws, directives, and regulations. Consequently, we endeavor to not provide information about our customers to third parties without legal process. From time to time, government entities may seek our assistance with obtaining information about our customers or could request that we modify our ~~platforms~~offerings in a manner to permit access or monitoring. In light of our confidentiality and privacy commitments, we may legally challenge law enforcement or other government requests to provide information, to obtain encryption keys, or to modify or weaken encryption. To the extent that we do not provide assistance to or comply with requests from government entities, or if we challenge those requests publicly or in court, we may experience adverse political, business, and reputational consequences among certain customers, regulators, or portions of the public. Conversely, to the extent that we do provide such assistance, or do not challenge those requests publicly in court, we may experience adverse political, business, and

among certain customers, regulators, or portions of the public. Conversely, to the extent that we do provide such assistance, or do not challenge those requests publicly in court, we may experience adverse political, business, and reputational consequences from other customers, regulators, or portions of the public arising from concerns over privacy or the government’s activities.

Risks Related to Financial, Accounting, and Tax Matters

Our business is capital intensive and we may not be able to raise adequate capital to finance our business strategies, or we may be able to do so only on terms that significantly restrict our ability to operate and grow our business.

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows used in operations. We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand, together with cash we expect to generate from future operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report. However, the implementation of our business strategy requires a substantial outlay of capital. As we pursue our business strategies and seek to respond to developments in our business and opportunities and trends in our industry, our actual capital expenditures may differ from our expected capital expenditures. ~~Historically, we have funded our operations and capital expenditures primarily through sales of our preferred stock, supplemented by loans from financial institutions.~~ No assurances can be given that our available funds and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for the future, or that we will not require additional equity or debt financing. In addition, if one of our satellite launches fails or if our satellites need to be replaced, there is no assurance of insurance recovery or the timing thereof and we may ~~need~~be required to ~~exhaust~~pay orsubstantial ~~significantly~~amounts, ~~draw~~which ~~upon~~would adversely affect our ~~available~~cash ~~debt~~and ~~facilities~~cash orequivalents ~~obtain~~position ~~additional~~and ~~financing~~results of operations. If we determine we need to obtain additional funds through external financing and are unable to do so, we may be prevented from fully implementing our business strategy.

The availability and cost to us of external financing depend on a number of factors, including our financial performance and general market conditions, including any impact of national or global health concerns, inflation or high interest rates, bank and financial institution stability or other global events that may have an effect on general market conditions or the capital markets specifically. Declines in our expected future revenues under contracts with customers and challenging business conditions faced by our customers are among the other factors that may adversely affect our credit and access to the capital markets. Other factors that could impact the availability and cost to us of external financing include the amount of debt in our current or future capital structure, activities associated with strategic initiatives, the health of our satellites, the success or failure of our planned launches, our expected future cash flows and the capital expenditures required to execute our business strategy. The overall impact on our financial condition of any transaction that we pursue may be negative or may be negatively perceived by potential lenders and may result in less access to the capital markets. Long-term disruptions in the capital or credit markets as a result of uncertainty or recession, changing or increased regulation or failures of significant financial institutions could adversely affect our access to capital. A deterioration in our financial performance or general market conditions could limit our ability to obtain financing or could result in any such financing being available only at greater cost or on more restrictive terms than might otherwise be available and, in either case, could result in our deferring or reducing capital expenditures including on new or replacement satellites. In addition, sustained or increased economic weaknesses or pressures or new economic conditions may limit our ability to generate sufficient internal cash to fund investments, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other strategic transactions and/or the development, design, acquisition and construction of new satellites. We cannot predict with any certainty whether or not we will be impacted by economic conditions. As a result, these conditions make it difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities because we may not have access to funding sources necessary for us to pursue organic and strategic business development opportunities.

We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our Class A common stock and our stockholders may experience dilution. For example, if we elect to deliver shares of our Class A common stock to settle conversions of our

3741

Table of Contents

outstanding 2030 Notes (as defined below) (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), it may have a dilutive effect on our stockholders’ equity holdings.

We could be subject to changes in tax rates or the adoption of new tax legislation, whether in or out of the United States, or could otherwise have exposure to additional tax liabilities, which could harm our business.

As a multinational business, we are subject to income and other taxes in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Changes to tax laws or regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, or in the interpretation of such laws or regulations, could significantly increase our effective tax rate and reduce our cash flow from operating activities, and otherwise have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, other factors or events, including business combinations and investment transactions, changes in stock-based compensation, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, adjustments to taxes upon finalization of various tax returns or as a result of deficiencies asserted by taxing authorities, increases in expenses not deductible for tax purposes, changes in available tax credits, changes in transfer pricing methodologies, other changes in the apportionment of our income and other activities among tax jurisdictions, and changes in tax rates, could also increase our effective tax rate. Our tax filings are subject to review or audit by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and state, local and foreign taxing authorities. We may also be liable for taxes in connection with businesses we acquire. Our determinations are not binding on the IRS or any other taxing authorities, and accordingly the final determination in an audit or other proceeding may be materially different than the treatment reflected in our tax provisions, accruals and returns. An assessment of additional taxes because of an audit could harm our business.

Our results of operations may be harmed if we are required to collect sales and use, gross receipts, value added, or similar taxes for our products in jurisdictions where we have not historically done so.

Sales and use, value added, goods and services, and similar tax laws and rates vary greatly by jurisdiction. Our customers can be located in one jurisdiction, utilize our products through our network equipment in a different jurisdiction, and pay us from an account located in a third jurisdiction. This divergence, along with the jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction variance in tax laws, causes significant uncertainty in the tax treatment of our business. There is further uncertainty as to what constitutes sufficient physical presence or nexus for a national, state, or local jurisdiction to levy taxes, fees, and surcharges for sales made over the Internet, and there is also uncertainty as to whether our characterization of our network and products as not taxable in certain jurisdictions will be accepted by national, state, and local taxing authorities. In determining our tax filing obligations, management has made judgments regarding whether our activities in a jurisdiction rise to the level of taxability. These judgments may prove inaccurate, and one or more states or countries may seek to impose additional sales, use, or other tax collection obligations on us, including for past sales by us. It is possible that we could face sales and other tax audits and that our liability for these taxes could exceed our estimates as state and other tax authorities could still assert that we are obligated to collect additional amounts as taxes from our customers and remit those taxes to those authorities. A successful assertion by a state, country, or other jurisdiction that we should have been or should be collecting additional sales, use, or other taxes on our network and products could, among other things, result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, create significant administrative burdens for us, discourage customers from purchasing our network and products, or otherwise harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We may not be able to utilize a significant portion of our net operating losses, which could adversely affect our potential profitability.

As of January 31, ~~2025~~2026, our U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards totaled $~~564~~967.93 million, of which $259.2 million will expire at various dates through 2038 and $~~305~~708.71 million will not expire. Additionally, as of January 31, ~~2025~~2026, we have state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $~~364~~603.26 million and $3.2.1 million, respectively. Although U.S. federal net operating losses arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 can be carried ~~forward indefinitely, the deductibility of such U.S. federal NOLs is limited to 80% of current year taxable income.~~

Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating losses and other tax attributes to offset future taxable income or income tax. In general, an “ownership change” occurs if there is a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in a corporation’s equity ownership by certain stockholders over a rolling three-year period. We may have experienced ownership changes in the past and may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership (many of which are outside our control). If it is determined that we have in the past experienced an ownership change, or if we undergo one or more ownership changes as a result of future transactions in our stock then we may not be able to utilize a material portion of our net operating losses prior to their expiration, even if we were to achieve profitability. To the extent we are not 42

To the extent we are not able to offset future taxable income with our net operating losses, our net income and cash flows may be adversely affected.

We rely on assumptions and estimates to calculate certain of our key metrics, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics could adversely affect our reputation and our business.

Certain of the metrics that we disclose are calculated using internal company data that has not been independently verified or data from third-party attribution partners. While these metrics and figures are based on what we believe to be reasonable calculations for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring these metrics and figures across our worldwide client base and user base. We regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating our metrics and other figures to improve their accuracy, but these efforts may not prove successful and we may discover material inaccuracies. In addition, our methodology for calculating these metrics may be updated from time to time and may differ from the methodology used by other companies to calculate similar metrics and figures. We may also discover unexpected errors in the data that we are using that resulted from technical or other errors. If we determine that any of our metrics or figures are not accurate, we may be required to revise or cease reporting such metrics or figures. Any real or perceived inaccuracies in our metrics and other figures could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

If our judgments or estimates relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our results of operations could fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our stock price.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as provided in our public filings, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity, and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our results of operations may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our results of operations to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the trading price of our Class A common stock. Significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements include, or may in the future include, those related to revenue recognition, ~~stock-based compensation,~~ and ~~income~~long-lived ~~taxes~~assets.

Due to the size and nature of some of our contracts, especially our large-scale satellite services contracts, the estimation of total revenues, timing of revenue recognition, and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. Assumptions have to be made regarding the length of time to complete the contract or program because costs also include expected increases in wages and employee benefits, material prices and allocated fixed costs. Because of the significance of the judgments and estimation processes described above, materially different revenues and profit amounts could be recorded if we used different assumptions, revised our estimates, or if the underlying circumstances were to change. Changes in underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates may adversely affect future period financial performance.

Our investment portfolio may become impaired by deterioration of the financial markets.

Our cash equivalent and investment portfolio is invested with a goal of preserving our access to capital, and generally consists of money market funds, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, U.S. government and U.S. government agency debt securities. We follow an established investment policy and set of guidelines to monitor and help mitigate our exposure to interest rate and credit risk. However, volatility in the global financial markets can negatively impact the value of our investments. If financial markets experience volatility, investments in some financial instruments may pose risks arising from market liquidity and credit concerns. Our investments are designated as available-for-sale and carried at fair value each reporting period. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, until the security is sold, the security has matured, or we determine that the fair value of the security has declined below its adjusted cost basis and the decline is not due to a credit loss. Although we believe our current investment portfolio has little risk of material impairment, we cannot predict future market conditions, market liquidity or credit availability, and can provide no assurance that our investment portfolio will remain materially unimpaired.

We may face exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Euro. We expect our non-U.S. operations to continue to grow in the near term and we are continually monitoring our foreign currency exposure to determine if we should consider a hedging program. Today, our non-U.S. contracts are denominated in either U.S. dollars or local currency, while our non-U.S. operating expenses are often denominated in local currencies. Additionally, as we expand our non-U.S. operations, a larger portion of our operating expenses may be denominated in local currencies. Therefore, increases in the value of the U.S. dollar and decreases in the value of foreign currencies could result in the dollar equivalent of our revenues being lower.

Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters

We operate in a highly regulated industry and government regulations may adversely affect our ability to sell our ~~services~~offerings, may increase the expense of such ~~services~~offerings or otherwise limit our ability to operate or grow our business.

We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations relating to various aspects of our business, including employment and labor, licensing, export, import, sanctions, anti-bribery/anti-corruption, tax, privacy and data security, health and safety, communications, and environmental matters. Laws and regulations at the foreign, federal, state and local levels frequently change, especially in relation to new and emerging industries, and we cannot always reasonably estimate the impact from, or the ultimate cost of compliance with, current or future regulatory or administrative changes. In particular, our industry is highly regulated due to the sensitive nature of satellite technology. The laws and regulations, and interpretations thereof, governing our business and operations, including the collection and distribution of satellite imagery and associated analytics and services, are likely to change in the future. Additionally, there are certain environmental risks involved in the operation of our ground stations, manufacturing of our satellites and potential for orbital debris. To the extent that governments impose restrictions or additional regulations, or new interpretations or applications of existing laws, to address regulation of satellite technology, sale of satellite hardware and managed operations services, distribution of satellite imagery or services, or any environmental concerns regarding our business activities, we may be required to alter our business operations to comply with such changes. Our ability to sell our ~~products~~offerings ~~and services~~ on a global basis may also be reduced or restricted due to increased U.S., E.U. or other government regulations or other government actions. This risk is heightened by the geopolitical relevance of our data, which can shed light on sensitive operations around the globe, as well as the sensitive nature of our customer base, which include various government agencies. Moreover, we may face lawsuits or incur liability as a result of the imagery we make available through our products and services. In any of these cases, our business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

Failure to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals and/or adhere to regulatory requirements could result in service interruptions, regulatory scrutiny, civil penalties or forfeitures, private lawsuits, or the denial, suspension or revocation of licenses, certificates, authorizations or permits, any of which could prevent us from operating our business or could impede our business plan. The following list summarizes certain material regulatory approvals we need to maintain and the various regulatory requirements our satellite operations must adhere to, as well as certain impacts these regulatory approvals and requirements can have on our business and operations. Regulatory frameworks and our products evolve over time and thus additional material regulatory approvals could develop in the future.44

NOAA Approvals. Our business requires licenses from the Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs

office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (“NOAA”) Office of Space Commerce, and we currently hold various active licenses issued by NOAA for the operation of our equipment. License approval can include an interagency review of national security, foreign policy, and international obligations implications, including consultations with the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of State. There can be no assurance that NOAA will renew the licenses we hold, accept necessary modifications to the licenses we currently hold, grant new licenses, or that coordination conditions can continue to be met. Moreover, the rules and regulations of NOAA, and their interpretation and application, may change, and NOAA may adopt regulations that impact our ability to collect imagery or otherwise limit or restrict our operations as presently conducted or currently contemplated. Under our NOAA licenses and NOAA rules and requirements, the U.S. government has the right to interrupt service or limit our ability to distribute satellite images when foreign policy or U.S. national security

~~requirements~~FCC Approvals. ~~Coordination~~Our operation of satellites and U.S. ground terminals requires licenses from the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”), and we currently hold various active licenses issued by the FCC for the operation of these facilities. The FCC regulates the launch and operation of our satellites, the radiofrequency spectrum and orbits used by our satellites, the end of life and disposal of our satellites, and the licensing of our ground terminals located within the United States. We are also subject to the FCC’s rules and regulations and the terms of our licenses, which require us to comply with various operating conditions and requirements. As conditions and requirements to our licenses, we are required to share spectrum with other users and to coordinate our spectrum use with other satellite ~~systems~~operators, isincluding ~~required~~certain byagencies of the ~~ITU~~U.S. federal government, to ~~help~~avoid ~~prevent~~interference ~~harmful~~to or from other satellite systems. The results of coordination may adversely affect our use of our satellites using certain frequencies, as well as the type of applications or services that we can accommodate. Further, our radio frequency operations may be subject to harmful interference from new or ~~into~~modified spectrum uses. If we obtain a required authorization but we do not meet milestones regarding the construction, launch and operation of a satellite by deadlines that may be established in the authorization, we may lose our authorization to operate a given satellite. We believe our current operations adhere to FCC requirements. However, the FCC licenses we currently hold are subject to potential revocation, modification, or nonrenewal by the FCC. While the FCC generally renews licenses routinely, there can be no assurance that our licenses will be renewed at their expiration dates on favorable terms or without adverse conditions. Failure to renew these licenses could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue and conduct our business as currently expected. Moreover, should we not obtain necessary licenses, approvals, or license modifications for new operations in a timely manner, we may not be able to expand our operations, products, and services. In addition, if we do not obtain required authorizations in the future, we may not be able to operate our existing facilities. We are subject to FCC regulatory fees associated with our authorizations which can fluctuate significantly from year to year. Such fee fluctuations or ~~planned~~further ~~satellite~~increases could impact our financial flexibility and/or adversely affect our operations and ability to conduct business. Finally, the rules and regulations of the FCC, and their interpretation and application, may change, and such authorities may adopt regulations that impact our ability to collect imagery or otherwise limit or restrict our operations as presently conducted or currently contemplated, and these changes in rules or regulatory policy may significantly affect our business.

launch services providers, and/or various U.S. and foreign regulators. Failure to obtain these approvals may result in delays related to launches of satellites or servicing of launched satellites, which in turn may materially affect our business.

The rules and regulations of these regulatory authorities are subject to change and may not continue to permit our operations as currently conducted or as we plan to conduct them. The FCC continues to consider changes to its rules and reporting obligations that could affect us and our operations. Future rules may also affect other corporate policies or practices in ways that may create further burdens on our business and operations. Moreover, the United States and ITU are considering regulatory changes that may affect our use of or access to certain portions of the radiofrequency spectrum, possibly including reallocation of frequencies we use or intend to use or the introduction of new services that may cause harmful interference to our operations (such as X-band downlink in the 8025-8400 MHz band, which is under study in the United States and at the ITU for terrestrial use). Such authorities may also adopt rules and/or make changes in the licenses of our competitors that affect our spectrum access or use. Certain changes in rules or regulatory policy may significantly affect our business or raise the cost of operating our business. For example, a draft European Union (“EU”) Space Act was released in June 2025 that would regulate third-country providers of space-based data and services into the EU, potentially requiring new registrations, fees, and compliance with new substantive technical obligations. These changes could affect Planet’s operations, including by requiring us to redesign our satellites, incur operational burdens, and/or assume increases in production costs. In addition, some legislators have discussed vesting additional authority in the Commerce Department and/or NASA in certain areas related to our operations, which could result in additional regulatory burdens affecting us and our operations in a similar manner.

In addition, entry into certain transactions with foreign entities now or in the future may be subject to government regulations, including review related to foreign direct investment by U.S. or foreign government entities. If a transaction with a foreign entity was subject to regulatory review, such regulatory review might limit our ability to enter into the desired strategic alliance and thus our ability to carry out our long-term business strategy.

We are subject to the requirements of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual for the facility security clearance of our subsidiary, Planet Labs Federal, Inc., which is a prerequisite to our ability to perform services requiring access to classified information and information systems for the U.S. government.

We require certain facility and personnel security clearances to perform our classified U.S. government related business. A facility security clearance is required for a company to perform on classified contracts and subcontracts for U.S. government customers. Security clearances are subject to regulations and requirements including the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (“NISPOM”), which specifies the requirements for the access to and protection of classified information.

As such, we must comply with the requirements of the NISPOM and any other applicable U.S. government industrial security regulations. If we, our employees or contractors were to violate the NISPOM or any other applicable U.S. government industrial security regulations, Planet Labs Federal, Inc. could lose its facility security clearance. Further, obtaining and maintaining security clearances for employees involves a lengthy process and it can be difficult to identify, recruit and retain employees who hold or are able to obtain security clearances. If our employees are unable to obtain or retain security clearances or if our employees who hold security clearances terminate employment with us, our ability to perform classified work may be negatively affected, including the potential termination of a classified contract.

42We cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain our facility security clearance. Failure to comply with the NISPOM or other security requirements may subject us to civil or criminal penalties, loss of the facility clearance,

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain our facility security clearance. Failure to comply with the NISPOM or other security requirements may subject us to civil or criminal penalties, loss of the facility clearance, loss of U.S. government contracts, or potential suspension or debarment as a government contractor, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Further, we are limited in our ability to provide specific information about our classified work, associated risks, or any disputes or claims relating to such work. As a result, investors have less insight into our classified work than our other businesses and therefore less ability to fully evaluate the related risks.

We are subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and anti-money laundering and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal and/or civil liability and harm our business.

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, and other anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, anti-money laundering laws and similar laws in the countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws ~~have been enforced aggressively in recent years and~~ are interpreted broadly to generally prohibit companies and their employees and third-party intermediaries from authorizing, offering or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or benefits to recipients in the public or private sector. As we increase our international sales and business, we will continue to engage with business partners and third-party intermediaries to conduct our business, including marketing our products and obtaining necessary permits, licenses, and other regulatory approvals. In addition, we or our employees, representatives, contractors, partners, agents and third-party intermediaries may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of our employees, representatives, contractors, partners, agents and third-party intermediaries, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities. These laws also require that we keep accurate books and records and maintain internal controls and compliance procedures designed to prevent any such actions.

While we have policies and procedures to address compliance with such laws, we cannot assure you that all of our employees, representatives, contractors, partners, agents and third-party intermediaries will not take actions in violation of our policies and applicable laws, for which we may be ultimately held responsible. As we increase our international sales and business, our risks under these laws may increase.

Detecting, investigating, and resolving actual or alleged violations can require a significant diversion of time, resources, and attention from senior management. In addition, noncompliance with anti-corruption, anti-bribery, or anti-money laundering laws, and allegations thereof, could subject us to whistleblower complaints, investigations, sanctions, settlements, prosecution or other enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, significant fines, damages, other civil and criminal penalties or injunctions, suspension or debarment from contracting with certain persons, the loss of export privileges, reputational harm, adverse media coverage, and other collateral consequences, all of which could adversely impact our business, reputation, prospects and results of operations. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a materially significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees.

We are subject to international trade laws and regulations that could impair our business operations and ability to compete in international markets or subject us to liability if we violate applicable controls.

Our business is subject to international trade laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”); the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) maintained by the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”); and trade and economic sanctions maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and similar laws of the European Union and other jurisdictions. in which we operate.

Table of Contents

International trade laws and regulations continuously evolve to address technological developments and changes in geopolitical conditions. Increasing global trade tensions could result in new export and import regulations, tariffs or other governmental restrictions that could inhibit our ability to conduct cross-border operations and to transact with foreign suppliers, customers, or other business partners. Monitoring and responding to these developments ~~may~~requires ~~require~~ significant resources and could impair our operations. If it was determined that we did not comply with such international trade laws and regulations or other similar laws, including export laws, we could be subject to both civil and criminal penalties, including substantial fines, possible incarceration for employees and managers for willful violations, the possible loss of our export or import privileges, seizure and forfeiture of assets involved in such noncompliance and debarment from U.S. government contracting.

Moreover, changes to international trade laws and regulations may restrict our ability to conduct certain export activity or may impose export licensing requirements that could delay or increase costs associated with export activity. Obtaining any necessary export license for a particular export, including to Planet entities in other jurisdictions, to foreign national employees of Planet, to ground station sites, to vendors, to support launch-related activities, or to cover asatellite services or other sale or offering may not be possible, may be time-consuming and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. If we are unable to maintain our existing authorizations, make necessary modifications to our existing authorizations, or obtain future export licenses in accordance with the export control laws and regulations, we may be unable to export hardware, software, or ~~software~~technology, or to provide services and related technology to our customers, suppliers, employees or other business partners, which could impair our business operations and ability to compete in international markets.

Furthermore, export control laws and economic sanctions programs in many cases prohibit ~~the~~engagements ~~export~~with ~~of software and services to certain~~ sanctioned countries and persons, as well as ~~for~~supporting prohibited end-users and end-uses. Even though we take precautions to ensure that we and our partners comply with all ~~relevant~~ applicable international trade laws and regulations, we have from time to time submitted voluntary self-disclosures to BIS, as is encouraged by the regulator, to address potential violations of the EAR and identify remedial measures taken to improve the compliance program, including one disclosure concerning, among other things, inadvertent access being provided to certain of our EAR-controlled technology/software prior to obtaining proper export licenses for such access. BIS closed out this disclosure with a warning letter and no imposition of monetary fines or penalties. We have policies and procedures in place relating to export control and sanctions compliance, but we cannot assure you that such policies and procedures will prevent future violations, and any failure by us or our partners to comply with such laws and regulations could have negative consequences for us, including reputational harm, government investigations and penalties and adversely affect our business.

In addition, various countries regulate the import of certain encryption software and technology, including through import permit and license requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to distribute hardware and software or could limit our ability to provide or receive services. Because we use hardware and software that incorporate encryption functionality, we may be subject to certain of these provisions.

Any limitation on our ability to export to or sell our technology, products, or services in international markets or to export controlled technology and software to our foreign national employees and/or ~~non-U.S.~~ subsidiaries could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to comply with governmental laws and regulations could harm our business.

Our business is subject to regulation by various federal, state, local and foreign governments, including those regulators discussed above, and applicable laws and regulations evolve over time. In certain jurisdictions, these regulatory requirements may be more stringent than those in the United States. Noncompliance with applicable regulations or requirements could subject us to investigations, sanctions, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions or other collateral consequences. If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could harm our business, reputation, operating results and financial condition.

We are also exposed to the risk of fraud, misconduct or other improper activities by our employees, consultants, advisors and partners, as well as third parties that we may use from time to time to perform services or act on our behalf. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional failures to comply with the applicable laws and regulations, report financial information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities to us. Specifically, it may be the case that one or more of such parties fail to adhere to our policies or violate applicable federal, state, local, and international laws, including but not limited to, those related to corruption, bribery, economic sanctions, insider trading and export/import controls. Despite the significant challenges in asserting and maintaining control and compliance by these parties, we may be held liable for such parties’ actions. Such liabilities may create harm to our reputation, inhibit our plans for expansion, or lead to extensive liability either to private parties or government regulators, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.49

profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions or other collateral consequences. If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could harm our business, reputation, operating results and financial condition.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities and Operating as a Public Company

The price of our Class A common stock and warrants may be volatile.

The price of our Class A common stock, as well as any outstanding warrants, may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including:

•

•changes in the industries in which we and our customers operate;

•

•any disruptions or delays in the launch and deployment of our satellites or our customers’ satellites;

•

•any damage or impairment to our constellation of satellites;

•

•developments involving our competitors;

•

•changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

•

•variations in our operating performance and the performance of our competitors in general;

•

•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;

•

•publication of research reports by securities analysts about us or our competitors or our industry;

•

•the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;

•

•actions by stockholders, including the sale of any of their shares of our Class A common stock;

•

•short selling of our Class A common stock;

•

•the publication of analyst or industry coverage or short seller reports regarding our business;

•

•additions and departures of key personnel;

•

•commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving the combined company;

•

•changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities (including in connection with an acquisition or upon conversion of some or all of the outstanding 2030 Notes) or the incurrence of additional debt;

•

•the volume of shares of our Class A common stock available for public sale;

•

•general economic and political conditions, such as the effects of national and global health concerns, recessions, interest rates, inflation, local and national elections, the effects of bank or financial institution failures, fuel prices, tariffs, international currency fluctuations and corruption; and

•

•acts of terrorism, war or political instability, both domestically and internationally, changes in laws and regulations, or the imposition of economic or trade sanctions affecting international commercial transactions.

The stock markets in general have experienced extreme price and volume volatility often unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock and warrants, and securities of other companies in our industry, often without regard to the operating performance of the affected companies. Securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the overall market and in the market price of a company’s securities. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs, divert our management’s attention and resources and harm our business, operating results, financial condition and reputation. In addition, the Business Combination resulted in our merging with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”), which can cause additional volatility in the price of our Class A common stock and warrants. There has also been increased focus by government agencies on transactions such as the Business Combination recently, and we expect that increased focus to continue, and we may be subject to increased scrutiny by the SEC, other government agencies and holders of our securities, as a result.

These market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our Class A common stock and warrants regardless of our operating performance.

The multi-class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting power with our Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder, which will limit an investor’s ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

Shares of our Class B common stock have 20 votes per share, while shares of our Class A common stock have one vote per share. William Marshall and Robert Schingler, Jr. (the “Planet Founders”) hold all of the issued and outstanding shares of our Class B common stock. Accordingly, the Planet Founders hold over approximately 62% of the voting power of our capital stock and are able to control matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors, many amendments of our organizational documents and many transactions involving a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or other major corporate transaction. ~~Additionally,~~The Planet Founders may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of Planet, ~~Founders~~could ~~received~~deprive ~~additional~~our ~~shares~~stockholders of ~~Class~~an Bopportunity ~~common~~to ~~stock~~receive a premium for ~~any~~their ~~contingent~~capital ~~consideration~~stock ~~issued~~as inpart of a sale of Planet, and might ultimately affect the market price of shares of our Class A common stock.

respect of their ownership of Former Planet Class B common stock held immediately prior to the Business Combination. The Planet Founders may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of Planet, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of Planet, and might ultimately affect the market price of shares of our Class A common stock.

If securities or industry analysts either do not publish research about us, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, our business, or our market, or, if such analysts change their recommendations regarding our Class A common stock adversely, the trading price or trading volume of our Class A common stock could decline.

The trading market for our Class A common stock can be influenced in part by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If one or more of the analysts initiate research with an unfavorable rating or downgrade our Class A common stock, provide more favorable recommendations about our competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our Class A common stock price would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the trading price or trading volume of our Class A common stock to decline.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of our business and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

We may redeem the unexpired outstanding public warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to the warrant holders, thereby making their warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem outstanding public warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant; provided that the closing price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to proper notice of such redemption; provided that certain other conditions are met. IfThe ~~and when the~~ warrants have become redeemable by us, and we may exercise the redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. As a result, we may redeem the warrants even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise the warrants. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force holders to (i) exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so, (ii) sell the warrants at the then-current market price when the holder might otherwise wish to hold onto such warrants or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the warrants. ~~None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.~~

We also have the ability to redeem the outstanding public warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; provided that the closing price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to proper notice of such redemption; provided that certain other conditions are met, including that holders will be able to exercise their warrants prior to redemption for a number of shares of Class A common stock determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of our Class A common stock. The value received upon exercise of the warrants (i) may be less than the value the holders would have received if they had exercised their warrants at a later time where the underlying share price is higher and (ii) may not compensate the holders for the value of the warrants, including because the number of shares of Class A common stock received is capped at 0.361 shares of Class A common stock per warrant (subject to adjustment) irrespective of the remaining life of the warrants.

Table of Contents

In the event we determine to redeem the public warrants, holders of our redeemable warrants would be notified of such redemption as described in the Warrant Agreement, dated March 4, 2021, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agreement”). Specifically, in the event that we elect to redeem all of the redeemable warrants as described above, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by Planet not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holders of the redeemable warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner provided in the Warrant Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder received such notice. In addition, beneficial owners of the redeemable warrants will be notified of such redemption via our posting of the redemption notice to the Depository Trust Company.

In addition, we may redeem the outstanding public warrants after they become exercisable for a number of shares of our Class A common stock determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of our Class A common stock. Any such redemption may have similar consequences to a cash redemption described above. In addition, such redemption may occur at a time when the warrants are “out-of-the-money,” in which case the holder would lose any potential embedded value from a subsequent increase in the value of our Class A common stock had such holder’s warrants remained outstanding.

Table of Contents

We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of public warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants. As a result, the exercise price of warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without warrant holder approval.

Our warrants were issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or to correct any defective provision or mistake, including to conform the provisions of the Warrant Agreement to the description of the terms of the warrants and the Warrant Agreement set forth in our public filings, (ii) adjusting the provisions relating to cash dividends on shares of common stock as contemplated by and in accordance with the Warrant Agreement or (iii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Warrant Agreement as the parties to the Warrant Agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the rights of the registered holders of the warrants, provided that the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants is required to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of the public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or stock (at a ratio different than initially provided), shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

The Warrant Agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of our warrants, which could limit the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with our company.

The Warrant Agreement provides that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the Warrant Agreement, including under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (ii) that we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. We will waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the Warrant Agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of our warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Warrant Agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the Warrant Agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any holder of our warrants, such holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.

47This choice-of-forum provision may limit a warrant holder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with our company, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of the Warrant Agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified

Delaware law and provisions in our Charter and our Bylaws could make a takeover proposal more difficult.

Our organizational documents are governed by Delaware law. Certain provisions of Delaware law and of our Certificate of Incorporation (“Charter”) and our bylaws (“Bylaws”) could discourage, delay, defer or prevent a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of Class A common stock held by our stockholders. These provisions provide for, among other things:

•

•the ability of our board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock;

•

•the fact that we are a public benefit corporation, as discussed below;

•

•certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings;

•

•advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at our annual meetings; and

•

•a multi-class common stock structure with 20 votes per share of our Class B common stock, providing the Planet Founders the ability to control the outcome of many matters requiring stockholder approval, even though the Planet Founders own less than a majority of the outstanding shares of our capital stock.

These anti-takeover provisions as well as certain provisions of Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire Planet, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many of our stockholders. As a result, our stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares. If prospective takeovers are not consummated for any reason, we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on the price of our Class A common stock. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for our stockholders to elect directors of their choosing and to cause us to take other corporate actions that our stockholders desire. See “Description of Securities.”

We operate as a Delaware public benefit corporation. As a public benefit corporation, we cannot provide any assurance that we will achieve our public benefit purpose.

As a public benefit corporation, we are required to balance our stockholders’ pecuniary interests, the best interests of those materially affected by our conduct, and the public benefit or benefits identified by our Charter. There is no assurance that we will achieve our public benefit purpose or that the expected positive impact from being a public benefit corporation will be realized, which could have a material and adverse effect on our reputation, which in turn may have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

As a public benefit corporation, we are required, under Section 366 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and pursuant to our Bylaws, to disclose to stockholders a report at least biennially on our overall performance in promoting the public benefit or benefits identified in our Charter and the best interests of those materially ~~affect~~affected by our conduct and on our assessment of our success in achieving our specific public benefit purpose and in promoting those interests. If we are not timely or are unable to provide this report, or if the report is not viewed favorably by parties doing business with us or regulators or others reviewing our credentials, our reputation as a public benefit corporation may be harmed.

Claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.

Our Charter and our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

Table of Contents

In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, our Bylaws and our indemnification agreements that we have entered or intend to enter into with our directors and officers provide that:

•

•we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law generally provides that a corporation may indemnify such person if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful;

•

•we may, to the extent authorized from time to time by our board of directors, indemnify employees and agents in those circumstances where indemnification is permitted by applicable law;

•

•we are required by our Bylaws to advance expenses, as incurred, to our present and former directors and officers in connection with appearing at, participating in or defending a proceeding upon receipt of a written request therefor, except that such directors or officers must undertake to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification;

•

•the rights conferred in our Bylaws are not exclusive, and we are authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors, officers, employees and agents and to obtain insurance to indemnify such persons; and

•

•we may not retroactively amend the provisions in our Bylaws to reduce our indemnification obligations to directors, officers, employees, and agents.

While we have procured directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, such insurance policies may not be available to us in the future at a reasonable rate, may not cover all potential claims for indemnification, and may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed.

Our Charter generally designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”) (and the other state courts and federal court located in Delaware) as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain what such stockholders believe to be a favorable judicial forum for disputes with Planet or our directors, stockholders, officers or employees.

Our Charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, any (i) derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders or employees to Planet or our stockholders; (iii) action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our Charter or our Bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time); (iv) action, suit or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Delaware Court or (v) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers or stockholders governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be exclusively brought in the Delaware Court or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware. The exclusive forum provision described in the foregoing sentence does not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction. Our Charter further provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States are the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring an interest in any shares of our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the exclusive forum provisions in our Charter. These choice-of-forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that he, she or it believes to be favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits. We note that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce these provisions and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for state and ~~federal courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.~~

federal courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our Charter inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of our management and board of directors.

As a public benefit corporation, the statutory obligation of our board of directors to manage Planet in a manner that balances our stockholders’ pecuniary interests, the best interests of those materially affected by our conduct, and the public benefit or public benefits identified in our Charter may negatively impact our financial performance and may subject us to increased derivative litigation concerning our directors’ obligation to balance these interests, the occurrence of which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our directors have a statutory obligation to consider not only the stockholders’ pecuniary interests, but also our specific public benefit and the best interests of other stakeholders materially affected by Planet’s actions. Under Delaware law, directors are shielded from liability for breach of these obligations if they make informed and disinterested decisions that are not such that no person of ordinary, sound judgment would approve. If a conflict between our stockholders’ pecuniary interests and the other interests enumerated above occur, our directors must balance such interests as they deem appropriate; thus, there is no guarantee such a conflict would be resolved in favor of our stockholders’ pecuniary interests, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

Therefore, we may take actions that our directors believe will be in the best interests of those stakeholders materially affected by our conduct or in the best interest of promoting our specific benefit purpose, even if those actions do not maximize our financial results. While we intend for this public benefit designation and obligation to provide an overall net benefit to us and our customers, it could instead cause us to make decisions and take actions without seeking to maximize the income generated from our business, and hence available for distribution to our stockholders. Our pursuit of longer-term or non-pecuniary benefits may not materialize within the timeframe we expect or at all, yet may have an immediate negative effect on any amounts available for distribution to our stockholders. Accordingly, being a public benefit corporation and complying with our related obligations could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

As a public benefit corporation, we may be less attractive as a takeover target than a traditional company would be and, therefore, your ability to realize your investment through an acquisition may be limited. Under our Charter, we cannot merge or consolidate with another entity if, as a result of such merger or consolidation, our capital stock would become, be converted into or exchange for the right to receive shares or other equity interests in corporation that is not a public benefit corporation or similar entity and the certificate of incorporation (or similar governing document) of such entity does not contain identical provisions to the language in our Charter identifying the public benefit or public benefits, unless the transaction receives approval from at least two-thirds of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. Additionally, public benefit corporations may also not be attractive targets for activists or hedge fund investors because new directors would still have to balance the stockholders’ pecuniary interests, the specific public benefit and the best interests of other stakeholders materially affected by the corporation’s actions, and stockholders can enforce this balancing obligation through derivative suits, subject to certain limitations under Delaware law. Further, by requiring the board of directors of public benefit corporations to consider additional constituencies other than maximizing stockholder value, Delaware public benefit corporation law could potentially make it easier for a board to reject a hostile bid, even where the takeover would provide the greatest short-term financial yield to investors.

As a Delaware public benefit corporation, we may be subject to increased derivative litigation concerning our board’s obligation to balance our stockholders' pecuniary interests, the best interests of those materially affected by our conduct and our public benefit interest, the occurrence of which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Stockholders of a Delaware public benefit corporation with shares listed on a national securities exchange (if they, individually or collectively, own the lesser of at least two percent of the company’s outstanding shares or shares of the corporation with a market value of at least $2,000,000 as of the date the action is instituted) are entitled to file a derivative or other type of action to enforce the statutory balancing requirement imposed on the board of directors by the DGCL. This potential liability does not exist for traditional corporations. Therefore, we may be subject to the possibility of increased litigation, which would require the attention of our management, and, as a result, may adversely impact our management’s ability to effectively execute our strategy. Additionally, any such litigation may be costly, which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The obligations associated with being a public company involve significant expenses and require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. For example, the Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business, results of operations and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. Compliance with these rules and regulations has increased, and will continue to increase, our legal and financial compliance costs and demands on our systems. In addition, as a public company, we may be subject to stockholder activism, which can lead to substantial additional costs, distract management and impact the manner in which we operate our business in ways we cannot currently anticipate. As a result of disclosure of information in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition ~~will~~is ~~become more~~ visible, which may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors. Furthermore, if any issues in complying with those requirements are identified, we may incur additional costs rectifying those or new issues, and the existence of these issues could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of it.

In addition, certain members of our management team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors, and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. As such, our management team may not effectively or efficiently manage these obligations or constituents. These obligations and constituents require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting at a reasonable assurance level, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results, which could have a material and adverse effect on our operations, investor confidence in our business and the trading prices of our securities.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Any material weaknesses in our internal controls may adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize and accurately report timely financial information and, as a result, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements or omissions.

Specifically, if our revenue and other accounting or tax systems do not operate as intended and in accordance with public company standards or do not scale with anticipated growth in our business, the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting could be adversely affected. Any failure to develop, implement, or maintain effective internal controls related to our revenue and other accounting or tax systems and associated reporting could result in the identification of a material weakness in our internal controls and could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Further, the identification of a material weakness could result in regulatory scrutiny and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial condition and otherwise have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations.57

controls may adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize and accurately report timely financial information and, as a result, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements or omissions.

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, costs related to implementing an internal audit and compliance function to further improve our internal control environment.

Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require substantial financial and management resources.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we are required to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm is required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, or expresses an adverse opinion, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, we may face restricted access to the capital markets or other sources of funds and our stock price may be adversely affected.

Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we incur substantial expenses and expend significant management efforts, including a potential need to hire additional accounting and financial personnel or outside experts to implement internal controls on accounting and financial reporting. Any disruptions or difficulties in implementing or using these systems could adversely affect our controls and harm our business. Moreover, such disruption or difficulties could result in unanticipated costs and diversion of management attention. In addition, we may discover weaknesses in our systems of internal financial and accounting controls and procedures that could result in a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements.

Any outstanding or potential stockholder litigation may result in substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

The market price of our Class A common stock may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We are and may continue to be subject to stockholder litigation against us and we may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Any such litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business or reputation.

Transactions relating to our 2030 Notes may dilute the ownership interest of stockholders, or may otherwise depress the price of our Class A common stock.

If the 2030 Notes are converted by holders, we are required under the Indenture governing our 2030 Notes to pay or deliver, as the case may be, either cash, shares of Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at our election. If we elect to deliver any shares of Class A common stock upon conversion of the 2030 Notes with respect to our conversion obligation, it would dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders. Any sales in the public market of the Class A common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Class A common stock. In addition, certain holders of the 2030 Notes may engage in short selling to hedge their position in the 2030 Notes. Anticipated future issuances of shares of our Class A common stock upon conversion of the 2030 Notes could depress the price of our Class A common stock.

The Capped Call Transactions entered into in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes may affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes, we entered into the Capped Call Transactions with certain financial institutions as counterparties. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our Class A common stock upon any conversion of the 2030 Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted 2030 Notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of the Class A common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

From time to time, the counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our Class A common stock and/or purchasing or selling our Class A common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions prior to the maturity of the 2030 Notes. This activity could also cause or prevent an increase or a decrease in the market price of our Class A common stock.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

Servicing our indebtedness will require a significant amount of cash, which may impact our cash available for working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes.

On September 12, 2025, we issued $460.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, which mature on October 15, 2030 (the “2030 Notes”). Prior to July 15, 2030, the 2030 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders only under certain conditions or upon the occurrence of certain events. As of January 31, 2026, the conditions allowing holders of the 2030 Notes to convert were not met. After July 15, 2030, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2030 Notes at their option at any time. If one or more holders elect to convert their 2030 Notes when eligible, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our Class A common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the 2030 Notes being converted.

Additionally, holders of the 2030 Notes have the right to require us to repurchase the 2030 Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture governing our 2030 Notes) prior to the maturity date at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such 2030 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date for such 2030 Notes. If the 2030 Notes have not previously been converted or repurchased, we will be required to repay the 2030 Notes in cash at maturity.

Table of Contents

Our ability to make such payments or to refinance our indebtedness, including the 2030 Notes, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Such payments will reduce the funds available to us for working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes and may limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, expansion plans and other investments.

Provisions in the Indenture governing our 2030 Notes may deter or prevent a business combination that may be favorable to you.

The Indenture governing our 2030 Notes may prohibit us from engaging in certain mergers or acquisitions unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the 2030 Notes. This and other provisions in the Indenture governing our 2030 Notes could deter or prevent a third party from acquiring us even when the acquisition may be favorable to you.

We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.

The counterparties to the Capped Call Transactions are financial institutions, and we are subject to the risk that one or more of the counterparties may default or otherwise fail to perform their obligations under the Capped Call Transactions. Our exposure to the credit risk of the counterparties will not be secured by any collateral. Global economic conditions have in the past resulted in the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of many financial institutions. If a counterparty to a Capped Call Transaction becomes subject to bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at the time under the relevant Capped Call Transaction. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, our exposure will increase to the extent there is an increase in our Class A common stock market price and in the volatility of the market price of our Class A common stock. In addition, upon a default or other failure to perform, or a termination of obligations by a counterparty, we may suffer adverse consequences or experience more dilution with respect to our Class A common stock than anticipated. We can provide no assurance as to the financial stability or viability of any of the counterparties.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

We have developed and implemented Information Technology (“IT”) and cybersecurity risk management policies, standards, processes and practices intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. We operate complex terrestrial and orbital computer networks and systems, in a challenging and dynamic geopolitical environment, comprising four interdependent security domains including: corporate security, space segment, data pipeline, and customer delivery. We believe we have a comprehensive, cross-functional approach to identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and incidents, while also implementing controls and procedures that are designed for the prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity incidents so that any necessary decisions can be made by management in a timely manner.

Planet maintains a comprehensive Information Security Management System as part of its risk management strategy. We develop our platform and programs using a secure development lifecycle that takes into account industry standards and recommended practices. This includes security training for employees and contractors with access to company systems and data, formal security risk assessments, security design reviews, vulnerability management, security testing and verification of critical systems via in-house and third party penetration tests, proactive survivability planning, and third party risk management. Planet’s secure development lifecycle leverages industry standard tools, guidelines and practices to identify and manage security vulnerabilities.

Table of Contents

Information about cybersecurity risks and our risk management processes is collected, analyzed and considered as part of our overall risk management program. We have a dedicated security team responsible for performing risk assessments designed to help identify cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, services, and our broader enterprise IT environment; managing our security controls, and informing our response to cybersecurity incidents. This team is composed of professionals, each with deep cybersecurity expertise ranging from ten to twenty years, including our Chief Security Officer, who has twenty-plus years of military, public, and private sector cybersecurity experience. Our Chief Security Officer regularly reports to our audit committee, risk management committee, and the board of directors. Additionally, our internal auditors independently test our IT and cybersecurity controls. Our executive leadership team, using input from the above teams, is responsible for our overall risk management system and processes and regularly considers cybersecurity risks in the context of other material risks to the company.

To date, our business strategy, results of operations and financial condition have not been materially affected by risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previously identified cybersecurity incidents, but we cannot provide assurance that they will not be materially affected in the future by such risks or any material incidents that occur or are discovered in the future, particularly considering that cybersecurity threat actors are often highly sophisticated and nimble in their attacks. For more information on our cybersecurity risks, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Governance

Governance and oversight related to our cybersecurity risk management policies and processes are conducted at both our board ~~level~~ and ~~our~~ management levels.

Table of Contents

Our board of directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated oversight of cybersecurity risks to the audit committee. The audit committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management policies and processes. The audit committee receives periodic reports from management on our cybersecurity risks (this includes reports from our management risk committee, discussed below). In addition, executive leadership updates the audit committee, as necessary, regarding any significant cybersecurity incidents. The audit committee reports to the full board of directors regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity matters from our legal, security team or external experts as part of the board of directors’ continuing education on topics that impact our operations and risks.

At the management level, our management risk committee, which includes our Chief Security Officer and other members of our executive leadership and is led by our General Counsel and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for assessing and managing IT and cybersecurity risks, in the context of other material risks to the company. Our management risk committee is informed about and monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include, among other things, briefings with internal security personnel, threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us.

We believe our dedicated security team and our management risk committee each play important roles in facilitating our cross-functional approach to identifying, preventing, mitigating and reporting cybersecurity threats and incidents and in working to ensure our audit committee and board of directors are able to fulfill their oversight function in a timely manner.

Item 2. Properties

Our corporate headquarters is located in San Francisco, California, and consists of approximately 71,280 square feet, in which all satellite manufacturing, testing, and R&D occurs. Our European offices are located in Berlin, Germany, Haarlem, Netherlands, Ljubljana, Slovenia, and Graz, Austria. Our European offices host portions of our sales and marketing, software engineering, and satellite operation functions. We also have a Washington, D.C., office that serves as the corporate headquarters for our subsidiary, Planet Labs Federal, Inc.

Our office buildings are leased over various lease terms extending until the end of fiscal year 2030. We believe that our office space is adequate for our current needs and should we need additional space, we believe we will be able to obtain additional space on commercially reasonable terms.

Market Information

Our Class A common stock and warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “PL” and “PL WS,” respectively.

Holders

On March 2117, ~~2025~~2026, the numbers of record holders of the Company’s Class A common stock, Class B common stock and warrants were ~~103~~379, 2 and 42, respectively. The actual number of stockholders is greater than this number of record holders, and includes stockholders who are beneficial owners, but whose shares are held in street name by brokers and other nominees. This number of holders of record also does not include stockholders whose shares may be held in trust by other entities.

Dividends

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of the business, and therefore do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our business prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, debt repayment obligations, capital expenditure needs, contractual restrictions, covenants in the agreements governing current and future indebtedness, industry trends, the provisions of Delaware law affecting the payment of dividends and distributions to stockholders and any other factors or considerations our board of directors deems relevant.

Business and Overview

Our mission is to use space to help life on Earth, by imaging the world every day and making global change visible, accessible, and actionable. Our ~~platform~~products ~~includes~~include imagery, insights, and machine learning that empower companies, governments, and communities around the world to make timely decisions about our evolving world. In addition, our satellite services arrangements provide a broad spectrum of advanced offerings to large scale government and enterprise customers, including designing and manufacturing customer-owned satellites. We also provide critical related services in these satellite services arrangements such as reliable mission systems engineering, launch procurement, ground station infrastructure, satellite operations, and maintenance. Separately, we provide dedicated image tasking capacity on Company owned or customer owned satellites.

As a public benefit corporation, our purpose is to accelerate humanity toward a more sustainable, secure, and prosperous world, by illuminating the most important forms of environmental and social change.

We deliver a differentiated data set: a new image of the entire Earth’s landmass, constantly refreshed. To collect this powerful data set, we design, build and operate ~~hundreds~~over ofone ~~satellites,~~hundred ~~making our fleet the largest Earth observation fleet of~~ satellites ~~in history~~. Our daily stream of proprietary data and machine learning analytics, delivered through our cloud-native platform, helps companies, governments and civil society use satellite imagery to discover insights as change happens.

To help further our mission, we have developed advanced satellite technology that increases the cost performance of each satellite. This has enabled us to launch large fleets of satellites at lower cost and in turn record over 3,000 images on average for every point on Earth’s landmass, a non-replicable historical archive that can power analytics, machine learning, and insights. We have advanced data processing capabilities that enable us to produce “AI-ready” data sets and have partnered with third-parties to offer AI-enabled data solutions. As these data sets continue to grow and we continue to develop these partnerships, we believe the value of our data and analytics solutions to our customers will further increase. Our innovation in agile aerospace has also enabled us to improve the cost-performance of satellite manufacturing, ground stations, and mission operations.

We currently serve customers across large commercial and government verticals, including agriculture, mapping, energy, forestry, finance and insurance, as well as federal, civil, state, and local governments. Our customers in government and commercial markets, leverage our product capabilities to monitor and manage global change over broad areas to take action.65

Our proprietary data set and analytics are delivered pursuant to subscription and usage-based data licensing agreements and are accessed by our customers through our online platform and subscription APIs. We believe our efficient cost structure, one-to-many business model and differentiated data set have enabled the growth of our business.

Our Business Model

We primarily generate revenue through selling licenses to our data and analytics to customers over a cloud-based platform via fixed price subscription and usage-based contracts. Data licensing subscriptions and minimum commitment usage-based contracts provide a large recurring revenue base for our business with a low incremental cost to serve each additional customer. Payment terms of our customer agreements are most commonly in advance on an either quarterly or annual basis, although a small number of large contracts have required payment terms that are monthly or quarterly in arrears. Additionally, we also generate revenue through satellite services agreements in which we build and operate satellites owned by the customer. Satellite services arrangements address a broad spectrum of needs for our customers, including mission systems engineering, spacecraft design and manufacturing, launch procurement, ground station operations, satellite operations, and maintenance. We also generate a small amount of revenue from sales of third-party imagery, professional services, and customer support. ~~From time to time~~Separately, we ~~have~~ also ~~entered~~provide ~~into~~dedicated ~~strategic~~image ~~satellite~~tasking ~~services~~capacity ~~and~~on ~~technologies~~Company ~~partnerships~~owned inor ~~which~~customer weowned ~~build and operate~~ satellites ~~for our partners~~.

We employ a “land-and-expand” go-to-market strategy with the goal to deliver increasing value to our customers and generate more revenue with each customer over time by expanding the scope of the services we offer. We work closely with our customers and partners to enable their early success, both from an account management and technical management perspective. Deeper adoption from our customers comes in many forms, including more users, more area coverage, and more advanced software analytics capabilities.

Key elements of our growth strategy include:

Scaling in Existing Verticals:

We have invested in our sales and marketing efforts to address the vertical markets in which we operate, as well as in software solutions to expand within our existing customer base. We plan to further penetrate vertical markets in which end users are early adopters of geospatial data, such as civil government, agriculture, and defense and intelligence through targeted sales and marketing activities and continued investment in new solutions for these verticals.

Expansion into New Verticals and Applications:

We plan to invest in our offerings to make our data more actionable and accessible to a larger group of customers and users, including non-geospatial experts such as data and business analysts in government and commercial organizations. We believe this will help us address use cases in key emerging markets such as energy, infrastructure, finance, insurance, and consumer packaged goods. We also intend to partner with companies building vertical market solutions, such as independent software vendors, as well as business intelligence and analytics providers. While we have customers and partners today in many of these verticals, we believe enhancing our data to meet their needs has the potential to accelerate the proliferation of our data and analytics usage across more end users. Additionally, we currently have multiple partners with solutions that rapidly generate insights for their customers using our licensed proprietary data and Planet Analytics or their AI technology.

Establish Platform Ecosystem

We plan to further develop our ecosystem of users and partners to build solutions leveraging our data and platform and to build software tools and APIs that make it even easier to do so. By developing a robust applications ecosystem, we believe we can create a network effect, potentially accelerating our growth and deepening our market penetration.

New Sensors & Data Sets: We plan to make strategic investments in building new sensors to capture additional data sets from space. As we grow our customer base and the use cases we can address, we believe we can better understand what additional data sets our customers are eager to access and therefore which sensors might enable us to capture additional data that is valuable to such customers. By leveraging our agile aerospace approach to space systems, we believe we are well-positioned to introduce new Earth observation sensors into orbit to capture new types of data with greater capital efficiency and speed than other satellite data providers. Having these capabilities can deepen our value proposition to customers and help us both acquire new customers and expand our offering to existing customers.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We believe that our financial condition and ~~result~~results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section of this Form 10-K titled “Risk Factors.”

Recent Developments

As a result of the 2024 headcount reduction, in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, we recognized $10.6 million of costs for one-time employee termination benefits consisting of severance and other employee-related costs. We also recognized a $1.4 million stock-based compensation benefit primarily related to the reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation expenses for unvested stock awards. The headcount reductions, including the remaining cash payments, were substantially complete as of January 31, 2025. Refer to Note 7 “Restructuring” for further information regarding the 2024 headcount reduction.67

Commercial Satellite Agreement

In January 2025, Planet entered into a multi-year $230 million commercial agreement with SKY Perfect JSAT (“JSAT”) through its U.S.-based subsidiary. Pursuant to the agreement, Planet will build and operate a constellation of ten Pelican high resolution satellites that will be owned by JSAT. In connection with the agreement, Planet is provided with licensing rights for certain imagery generated from the Pelicans that it will utilize to serve its customers around the world. The satellites are expected to launch beginning in 2027. There was no revenue recognized for the agreement during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.

The agreement includes payments totaling $230 million which become payable based on specified milestones. We expect that revenue for the build of the Pelicans will be recognized over time as work progresses and that revenue for services will be recognized as they are rendered. We expect that costs associated with the build of the Pelicans and performance of services will be recognized as cost of revenue.

Continuing to Acquire New Customers

Attracting new customers is an important factor affecting our future growth and operating performance. We believe our ability to attract customers will be driven by our ~~ability~~agile toaerospace ~~continue~~capabilities, towhich ~~improve~~allow ~~our~~for ~~data~~the rapid development and ~~offer~~deployment ~~software~~of ~~and~~satellite ~~analytic~~hardware ~~solutions~~to ensure a consistent data supply that ~~make~~differentiates our ~~data~~offerings ~~easier~~from totraditional ~~consume~~aerospace ~~and~~models. ~~integrate~~By ~~into~~leveraging ~~our~~these ~~customers’~~unique ~~workflows,~~hardware ~~our~~advantages ~~success~~alongside recent advances in ~~offering~~artificial ~~new~~intelligence, we are able to make our extensive data sets ~~and~~more ~~products~~accessible toand ~~solve~~actionable ~~customer~~for ~~problems,~~customers. ~~increases~~Our inintegration ~~our~~of ~~global~~AI-driven ~~sales~~automated ~~presence~~detection and ~~increases~~feature inextraction ~~our~~transforms ~~marketing~~imagery ~~investments.~~into As"analytic-ready" ~~part~~insights, ofeffectively ~~this~~lowering ~~strategy,~~the webarrier to entry for our customers. We have ~~recently~~also made ~~Planet’s~~our data available for purchase directly through our Planet Insights Platform ~~(which has integrated the former Sentinel Hub platform)~~, which facilitates rapid user adoption, ~~particularly~~ by empowering users to self-service our solutions without formal sales interaction. We believe this serves as a natural entry point for some of our smaller accounts, enabling them to realize the value of Planet’'s offerings, and leading to broader awareness of our solutions throughout their ~~networks and~~ organizations.

In addition, we plan to continue investing in making our data more digestible and accessible to non-technical business users and to build solutions to address more use cases and expand our addressable market. As a result of this strategy, we anticipate continuing to invest in our research and development. We will also aim to expand our reach with customers by partnering with independent software vendors and solution providers who are building vertical market-specific solutions. While we have customers and partners today in many markets, we believe that our increased investment in developing software analytics solutions has the potential to accelerate the usage of our data and analytics across broader audiences. Additionally, the timing of securing new customer contracts, including when it occurs during the year and the length of the sales cycle, as well as the size of the contracts, can impact our operating performance.

Retention and Expansion of Existing Customers

To increase customer retention and expansion of revenue from existing customers, we are making a number of investments in our operations. Customer retention and expansion is driven by the speed with which our customers realize the value of our data once they become customers, our ability to cross-sell our different products to our existing customers and our ability to offer new products to our customers. Therefore, to increase customer retention and sales to existing customers, we have invested in our customer success function, continuous improvements to our existing data, and the software tools and analytic tools that make our data easier to consume. As a result of such investments, we anticipate our cost of revenue, operating expenses, and capital expenditures may increase as we continue to prioritize customer retention and expansion.

Developing New Sensors and Data Sets

Investment Decisions

We regularly review our existing customers and target markets to determine where we should invest in our product and technology roadmap, both for our space systems engineering to enable new geospatial coverage models, as well as our software engineering focused on providing sophisticated analytics models and tools to service an expanding set of markets and use cases. Our financial performance relies heavily on effective balance between driving continued growth, maintaining technology leadership, and improving margins across the business.

Seasonality

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, seasonality in our business and fluctuations in our operating results due to customer behavior, buying patterns and usage-based contracts. For example, we typically have customers who increase their usage of our data services when they need more frequent data monitoring over broader areas during peak agricultural seasons, during natural disasters or other global events, or when commodity prices are at certain levels. These customers may expand their usage and then subsequently scale back. We believe that the seasonal trends that we have experienced in the past may occur in the future. To the extent that we ~~experience seasonality, it may impact our operating results and financial metrics, as well as our ability to forecast~~

experience seasonality, it may impact our operating results and financial metrics, as well as our ability to forecast future operating results and financial metrics. Additionally, when we introduce new products to the market, we may not have sufficient experience in selling certain products to determine if demand for these products ~~are~~is or will be subject to material seasonality.

Key Operational and Business Metrics

In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements, we use the following key operational and business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts, and make strategic decisions.

ACV and EoP ACV Book of Business

In connection with the calculation of several of the key operational and business metrics we utilize, we calculate 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, ~~excluding~~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.

We also calculate End of Period (“EoP”) ACV Book of Business in connection with the calculation of several of the key operational and business metrics we utilize. We define 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. We do not annualize short-term contracts in calculating our EoP ACV Book of Business. We calculate 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.

Net Dollar Retention Rate

	Year Ended January 31,	~~Year Ended January 31,~~
		2025						2024
	2026				2025
Net Dollar Retention Rate		~~106~~116	%	%		106	%	~~101~~	%

We define 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. We define existing customers as customers with an active contract with Planet. We believe our Net Dollar Retention Rate is a useful metric for investors as it can be used to measure our ability to retain and grow revenue generated from our existing customers, on which our ability to drive long-term growth and profitability is, in part, dependent. We use Net Dollar Retention Rate to assess customer adoption of new products, inform opportunities to make improvements across our 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 above. Net Dollar Retention Rate increased to ~~106~~116% for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026 as compared to ~~101~~106% for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2024~~2025, primarily due to large ~~government~~defense ~~contract~~and ~~expansions~~intelligence ~~during~~contract ~~the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025~~expansions.

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. We define Net Dollar Retention Rate including ~~winbacks~~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. We believe this metric is useful to investors as it captures the value of customer contracts that resume business with Planet after being inactive and thereby provides a quantification of Planet’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. Net Dollar Retention Rate including winbacks increased to 108% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 as compared to 103% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, primarily due to large government contract expansions during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.

We assess 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. We define 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. We believe this metric is useful to investors as it captures the value of customer contracts that resume business with Planet after being inactive and thereby provides a quantification of Planet’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. Net Dollar Retention Rate including winbacks increased to 118% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 as compared to 108% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, primarily due to large defense and intelligence contract expansions.

EoP Customer Count

		Year Ended January 31,
	As of January 31,
		2025			2024
	2026		2025
EoP Customer Count		~~976~~897		976	~~1,018~~

We define EoP Customer Count as the total count of all existing customers at the end of the period excluding customers that are exclusively Planet Insights Platform (which has integrated the former Sentinel Hub platform) self-service paying users. For EoP Customer Count, we define existing customers as customers with an active contract with us at the end of the reported period. For the purpose of this metric, we define a customer as a distinct entity that uses our data or services. We sell directly to customers, as well as indirectly through our partner network. If a partner does not provide the end customer’s name, then the partner is reported as the customer. Each customer, regardless of the number of active opportunities with us, is counted only once. For example, if a customer utilizes multiple products of Planet, we only count that customer once for purposes of EoP Customer Count. A customer with multiple divisions, segments, or subsidiaries are also counted as a single unique customer based on the parent organization or parent account. For EoP Customer Count, we do not include users that only utilize our self-service Planet Insights Platform web based ordering system, which we acquired in August 2023, and which offers standard starter packages on a monthly or annual basis. We believe excluding these users from EoP Customer Count creates a more useful metric, as we view the Planet Insights Platform starter packages as entry points for smaller accounts, leading to broader awareness of our solutions throughout their networks and organizations. We believe EoP Customer Count is a useful metric for investors and management to track as it is an important indicator of the broader adoption of our platform and is a measure of our success in growing our market presence and penetration. Management applies judgment as to which customers are deemed to have an active contract in a period, as well as whether a customer is a distinct entity that uses our data or services. The EoP Customer Count decreased to ~~976~~897 as of January 31, ~~2025~~2026, as compared to ~~1,018~~976 as of January 31, ~~2024~~2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increased focus on larger customers.

62Our business has recently evolved to focus the efforts of our direct sales team on large customer opportunities and to increasingly leverage our self-service Planet Insights Platform to provide access to our data for customers (of whom are not included in EoP Customer Count because they exclusively utilize our self-serve model). As a result, EoP Customer Count has become less meaningful as a business metric. Therefore, beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027, we will no longer report EoP Customer Count as a key business metric.

Percent of Recurring ACV

		Year Ended January 31,
	As of January 31,
		2025						2024
	2026				2025
Percent of Recurring ACV		9798	%	%		97	%	93	%

Percent of Recurring ACV is the portion of the total EoP ACV Book of Business that is recurring in nature. We define 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, ~~excluding~~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. We define 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. We believe Percent of Recurring ACV is useful to investors to better understand how much of our revenue is from customers that have the potential to renew their contracts over multiple years rather than being one-time in nature. We track 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. Percent of Recurring ACV ~~increased~~was ~~to 97~~98% for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026, as compared to 9397% for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2024~~2025. ~~The increase was primarily attributable to demand of data subscription and usage-based contracts from large government customers.~~

Capital Expenditures as a Percentage of Revenue

	Year Ended January 31,	~~Year Ended January 31,~~
		2025						2024
	2026				2025
Capital Expenditures as Percentage of Revenue		2026	%	%		20	%	19	%

We define 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. We define 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 our data services and related revenue, and to provide a comparable view of our performance relative to other earth observation companies, which may invest significantly greater amounts in their satellites to deliver their data to customers. We use 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 our data to clients. As a result of our strategy and our business model, our capital expenditures may be more similar to software companies with large data center infrastructure costs. Therefore, we believe it is important to look at our level of capital expenditure investments relative to revenue when evaluating our performance relative to other earth observation companies or to other software and data companies with significant data center infrastructure investment requirements. We believe 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 our business and our relative capital efficiency. Capital Expenditures as a Percentage of Revenue increased to 2026% for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026, as compared to 1920% for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2024~~2025. The increase ~~in Capital Expenditures as a Percentage of Revenue~~ was primarily attributable to an increase in capitalized labor and material related to the build of our next generation high resolution Pelican satellites, and our ~~hyperspectral~~medium ~~imaging~~resolution ~~Tanager~~ satellites. ~~and~~We expect our ~~medium~~capital ~~resolution~~expenditures to continue to increase in the foreseeable future through purchases of property and equipment as we seek to grow the number of internal-use satellites in orbit. Additionally, working capital expenditures are expected to increase as we purchase raw materials inventories

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We derive revenue principally from licensing rights to use our imagery, ~~that~~dedicated iscapacity, data solutions and satellite services arrangements. These agreements vary by contract, however, generally they have annual or multi-year contractual terms and typically billed in advance either quarterly or annually. Imagery licensing and data solutions are delivered digitally through our online platform in addition to providing related services. Imagery licensing agreements vary by contract, but generally have annual or multi-year contractual terms. The data licenses are generally purchased via a fixed price contract on a subscription or usage basis, whereby a customer pays for access to our imagery or derived imagery data, delivered by Planet or through partners, which may be downloaded over a specific period of time, or, less frequently, on a transactional basis, whereby the customer pays for individual content licenses. Additionally, we derive revenue through satellite services agreements in which we build and operate satellites owned by the customer. Satellite services contracts generally have fixed price, multi-year contractual terms.

annual or multi-year contractual terms. The data licenses are generally purchased via a fixed price contract on a subscription or usage basis, whereby a customer pays for access to our imagery or derived imagery data, delivered by Planet or through partners, which may be downloaded over a specific period of time, or, less frequently, on a transactional basis, whereby the customer pays for individual content licenses.

We also provide a small amount of other services to customers, including professional services such as training, analytical services, and other value-added activities related to our imagery, data and technology. These revenues are recognized as the services are rendered, on a proportional performance basis for fixed price contracts or ratably over the contract term for subscription professional services and analytics contracts. Training revenues are recognized as the services are performed.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of employee-related costs of performing account and data provisioning, customer support, satellite and engineering operations, as well as the costs of operating and retrieving information from the satellites, processing and storing the data retrieved,. Cost of revenue also includes third party imagery expenses, depreciation of our satellites and ground stations, amortization of acquired intangibles and amortization of capitalized internal-use software related to creating imagery provided to customers. ~~Employee-related~~Cost ~~costs~~of ~~include~~revenue ~~salaries,~~for ~~benefits,~~our ~~bonuses~~satellite ~~and~~services ~~stock-based~~arrangements ~~compensation.~~includes Toemployee-related acosts ~~lesser~~of ~~extent,~~designing ~~cost~~and ofmanufacturing ~~revenue~~customer-owned ~~includes~~satellites, ~~costs~~mission ~~from~~systems ~~professional services~~engineering, ~~including~~satellite ~~costs~~operations, ~~paid~~software todevelopment, ~~subcontractors~~and maintenance, ~~solution~~as ~~partners~~well ~~and~~as ~~certain~~satellite inventory materials, third-party fees for launch procurement, and ground station infrastructure.

Employee-related costs include salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation. Cost of revenue includes costs from professional services, including costs paid to subcontractors, solution partners and certain third-party fees.

We expect cost of revenue to continue to increase as we invest in our delivery organization, build and launch satellites for customers that have purchased satellite services, incorporate third-party products into our solutions and introduce future product sets that may require higher compute capacity. As we continue to grow our subscription revenue contracts and increase the revenue associated with our analytic capabilities, we anticipate further economies of scale on our satellites and other infrastructure costs as we incur lower marginal cost with each new customer we add to our platform.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses primarily include personnel related expenses for employees and consultants, hardware costs, supplies costs, contractor fees and administrative expenses. Employee-related costs include salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation. Expenses classified as research and development are expensed as incurred and attributable to advancing technology research, platform and infrastructure development and the research and development of new product iterations. Funding for our performance of research and development services under certain arrangements are recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses based on a cost incurred method.

Table of Contents

incurred and attributable to advancing technology research, platform and infrastructure development and the research and development of new product iterations. Funding for our performance of research and development services under certain arrangements are recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses based on a cost incurred method.

We continue to iterate on the design of our satellites and the capabilities of our automated operations to optimize for efficiency and technical capability of each satellite. Costs associated with satellite and other space related research and development activities are expensed as incurred.

We intend to continue to invest in our software platform development, machine learning and analytic tools and applications and new satellite technologies for both the satellite fleet operations and data collection capabilities to drive incremental value to our existing customers and to enable us to expand our traction in emerging markets and with new customers. As a result of the foregoing, research and development expenditures may increase in future periods.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily include costs incurred to market and distribute our products. Such costs include expenses related to advertising and conferences, sales commissions, salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation for our sales and marketing personnel and sales office expenses. Sales and marketing expenses also include fees for professional and consulting services principally consisting of public relations and independent contractor expenses. Sales commissions are capitalized when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit. Other sales and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.

We intend to continue to invest in our selling and marketing capabilities in the future and may increase this expense in future periods as we look to upsell new product features and expand into new market verticals. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue may fluctuate from period to period based on total revenue and the timing of our investments.

Table of Contents

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include personnel-related expenses and facilities-related costs primarily for our executive, finance, accounting, legal and human resources functions. General and administrative expenses also include fees for professional services principally consisting of legal, audit, tax, and insurance, as well as executive management expenses. General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred.

We expect to continue to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance and reporting obligations of public companies, and increased costs for insurance, investor relations, and professional services. Our general and administrative expenses may increase in future periods and vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue, but we expect to continue to realize operating scale with respect to these expenses over time as we grow our revenue.

Interest Income

Interest income primarily consists of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Our cash equivalent and short-term investment portfolio is invested with a goal of preserving our access to capital, and generally consists of money market funds, commercial paper, corporate debt securities and U.S. government and U.S. government agency debt securities.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense

Interest expense primarily consists of interest incurred on our convertible senior notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"), as well as the related amortization of deferred debt issuance costs for the 2030 Notes. Interest expense also includes interest incurred associated with a customer contract that contains a significant financing component.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities

The change in fair value of warrant liabilities consists of the change in fair value of the public and private placement warrant liabilities. We expect to incur other incremental income or expense for fair value adjustments resulting from warrant liabilities that remain outstanding.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net, consists of net gains or losses on foreign currency and certain other non-operating income and expense items.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our income tax provision consists of an estimate for U.S. federal and state income taxes, as well as those foreign jurisdictions where we have business operations, based on enacted tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in the tax law. We believe that it is more likely than not that the majority of the U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, we recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions.

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, additional information specific to certain high resolution satellites became available indicating that the useful lives of these satellites will be less than originally estimated. The changes in estimated useful lives for these satellites were accounted for prospectively, resulting in an increase of depreciation expense of $7.0 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses ~~decreased~~increased $155.37 million, or 136%, to $~~101~~106.07 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026, from $~~116~~101.30 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2024~~2025. The ~~decrease~~increase was primarily due to a $1011.42 million decrease in ~~purchases~~funding recognized for our research and development arrangements, which was primarily due to the substantial completion of ~~material~~the ~~utilized~~R&D Services Agreement in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025. The increase was also partially due to a $2.8 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and a $2.4 million increase in spacecraft hardware costs for research and development activities. These increases were partially offset by a $4.7 million decrease in employee-related costs, primarily due to the allocation of labor to fulfill our satellite services contract performance obligations to cost of revenue. These increases were also partially offset by $3.4 million of severance and termination benefits charges recognized during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 associated with the 2024 headcount reduction and a $82.16 million decrease in launch provider costs associated with the launch of a satellite classified as experimental in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025.

decrease in employee-related costs, primarily due to reduced headcount, a $7.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense, which was primarily due to forfeiture of awards in connection with certain employee departures and due to a decline in expense related to earnout shares. The decrease was also partially due to a $1.9 million decrease in non-recurring expense related to transaction bonuses paid to Sinergise employees in the prior year, which was allocated from the purchase consideration we paid in connection with the Sinergise acquisition, and a $1.0 million decrease in contractor costs used to support various research and development initiatives. These decreases were partially offset by a $7.3 million decrease in funding recognized for our research and development arrangements, a $3.0 million increase in depreciation expense associated with satellites classified as experimental, and a $2.6 million increase in launch provider costs primarily due to the launch of a satellite classified as experimental.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $85.60 million, or 106%, to $7772.7 million, for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026, from $8677.37 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2024~~2025.

31, 2025. The increase was also partially due to a $1.4 million increase in employee-related costs and a $1.0 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. These increases were partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in expense associated with the revaluation of the contingent consideration liability for the Sinergise customer consent escrow and $1.3 million decrease of severance and termination benefits charges recognized during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 associated with the 2024 headcount reduction.

Interest Income

Interest income ~~decreased~~increased $54.21 million, to $1014.3 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026, from $1510.43 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2024~~2025. The ~~decrease~~increase was primarily due to aan ~~decrease~~increase in our cash equivalent and short-term investment balances.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $2.6 million to $3.4 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, from $0.8 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to $1.1 million of amortization of deferred debt discount and issuance costs and $0.9 million of interest incurred on our 2030 Notes in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities

The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the fiscal years ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and January 31, ~~2024~~2025 represents the change in fair value of the public and private placement warrants, which primarily fluctuates based on the change in trading price of our Class A common stock.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net of $03.24 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026 includes ~~the derecognition of~~ a $15.35 million ~~liability~~gain ~~for~~relating ~~which~~to ~~settlement~~insurance isproceeds ~~not~~received ~~considered~~for ~~probable,~~damage ~~partially~~incurred ~~offset~~to byan ~~$0.8~~experimental ~~million of interest expense associated with a customer contract that contains a significant financing component~~satellite.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes increased $12.62 million, to $24.57 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026, from $02.85 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2024~~2025. For the fiscal years ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, the income tax expense was primarily driven by the current tax on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate for the fiscal years ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025 differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the valuation allowance on the majority of our U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets and foreign rate differences.

Non-GAAP Information

This Form 10-K includes Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Backlog, which are non-GAAP measures that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We include these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments.

We define and calculate Non-GAAP Gross Profit as gross profit adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, and ~~employee~~employer ~~transaction~~payroll ~~bonuses~~taxes inrelated ~~connection~~to ~~with~~earnout ~~the~~share ~~Sinergise business combination~~vesting. We define Non-GAAP Gross Margin as Non-GAAP Gross Profit divided by revenue.

We define and calculate 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 employee transaction bonuses in connection with the Sinergise business combination. 76

WeTable present Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe these measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry and facilitates comparisons on a consistent basis across reporting periods.

We present Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe these measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry and facilitate comparisons on a consistent basis across reporting periods. Further, we believe these measures are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results because they exclude items that are not indicative of our core operating performance.

We define and calculate Backlog as remaining performance obligations plus the cancellable 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 our 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. We present Backlog because the portion of our customer contracts with such cancellation provisions represents a meaningful amount of our expected future revenues. Management uses backlog to more effectively forecast our future business and results, which supports decisions around capital allocation. It also helps us identify future growth or operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. We also believe Backlog is useful for investors in forecasting our future results and understanding the growth of our business. Customer cancellation provisions relating to termination for convenience clauses and funding appropriation requirements are outside of our control, and as a result, we may fail to realize the full value of such contracts.

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 ours. 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 our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have incurred net losses. ~~and~~We ~~negative~~recorded positive net cash flows from operations for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Our operations have historically been primarily funded by the net proceeds from the sale of our debt and equity securities and borrowings under credit facilities, as well as cash received from our customers. ~~We currently have no debt outstanding.~~

We measure liquidity in terms of our ability to fund the cash requirements of our business operations, including working capital and capital expenditure needs, contractual obligations, including debt obligations and convertible note repayment requirements, and other commitments, with cash flows from operations and other sources of funding. Our current working capital needs relate mainly to our continued development of our platform and product offerings in new markets, as well as compensation and benefits of our employees. Our ability to expand and grow our business will depend on many factors, including our working capital needs and the evolution of our operating cash flows.

70In September 2025, we issued $460.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, pursuant to the Indenture, dated September 12, 2025, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting initial purchase discount and issuance costs, was $445.8 million. The 2030 Notes will mature on October 15, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted pursuant to their terms. In connection with the 2030 Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls Transactions”), which are expected generally to

As of January 31, 2026, and 2025, we had $229.4 million and $118.0 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, as of January 31, 2026, and 2025, we had short-term investments of $410.6 million and $104.0 million, respectively, which are highly liquid in nature and available for current operations. We believe our anticipated operating cash flows together with our cash on hand provide us with the ability to meet our obligations as they become due during the next 12 months.

We expect our capital expenditures and working capital requirements to continue to increase in the foreseeable future as we seek to grow our business. We could also need additional cash resources due to significant acquisitions, an accelerated manufacturing timeline for new satellites, competitive pressures or regulatory requirements. We may need to seek additional equity, equity-linked or debt financing. The issuance of additional shares may create additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating or financial covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that any such financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If needed financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be forced to decrease our level of investment in software and market expansion efforts or to scale back our existing operations, which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial prospects.

As of January 31, ~~2025~~2026, our principal contractual obligations and commitments include lease obligations for real estate and ground stations, convertible note repayment requirements, and minimum purchase commitments for hosting services from Google, LLC. Refer to Notes 8, 10, 13, and 1314 to our consolidated financial statements in Part 8 of this Form 10-K for more information regarding these cash requirements.

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet activities or have any arrangements or relationships with unconsolidated entities, such as variable interest, special purpose, and structured finance entities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. The accounting policies described below have been identified as critical to our business operations and to understanding the results of our operations. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Revenue Recognition

We derive ~~our~~ revenue principally from licensing rights to use imagery, ~~that~~dedicated iscapacity, ~~delivered~~data ~~digitally~~solutions ~~through~~and ~~our~~satellite ~~online platform in addition to providing related~~ services arrangements. Imagery licensing ~~agreements~~and ~~vary~~data bysolutions ~~contract, however, generally they have annual or multi-year contractual terms. The licenses~~ are ~~generally~~delivered ~~purchased~~digitally onthrough athe ~~subscription~~Company's ~~basis,~~online ~~whereby~~platform ain ~~customer~~addition ~~pays for access~~ to ~~our~~providing ~~imagery~~related ~~that may be downloaded over a specific period of time, or, on a transactional basis, whereby the customer pays for individual content licenses at the time of download~~services. ~~Our imagery licensing agreements and service agreements are often non-cancelable and do not contain refund-type provisions.~~

The recognition and measurement of revenue requires the use of judgments and estimates. Specifically, judgment is used in identifying the performance obligations and the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of the performance obligations. 81

Table of Contents

The recognition and measurement of revenue requires the use of judgments and estimates. Specifically, judgment is used in identifying the performance obligations, the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of the performance obligations, and the total cost estimated at completion when utilizing the cost-to-cost method.

At contract inception, we assess the product offerings in our contracts to identify performance obligations that are distinct. A performance obligation is distinct when it is separately identifiable from other items in a bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all of the product offerings promised in the contract.

When our contracts with customers contain more than a single performance obligation, management allocates the total contract consideration to each performance obligation on a relative SSP basis. The SSP is the price at which we would sell a promised product or service separately to a customer. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. We determine the SSP by considering our overall pricing practices and market conditions, including our discounting practices, the size and volume of our transactions, the customer demographic, price lists, historical sales, contract prices and customer relationships.

72Data licensing arrangements generally provide customers with the right to access imagery through our platform, download content on a limited or unlimited basis over the contractual period depending on the terms of the applicable contract, or provide both the right to access imagery and download content. We have determined that access to imagery through our online platform and the ability to download such imagery represent two separate performance obligations.

~~Table~~The ofCompany ~~Contents~~has entered into multi-year satellite services agreements whereby customers purchase satellites manufactured by the Company. In connection with these arrangements, the Company may provide additional products and services such as ground station infrastructure and engineering, satellite operations and professional services, which generally represent distinct performance obligations.

Changes to ~~continuously~~the ~~updated~~total ~~imagery~~cost ~~content~~estimated isat ~~recognized~~completion ~~ratably~~are onrecorded as a ~~straight~~cumulative catch-~~line~~up ~~basis~~adjustment. ~~over~~Adjustments in estimates could have a material impact on revenue recognition based on the ~~term~~significance of the ~~contract~~adjustments. Factors considered in these estimates include our historical performance, the availability, productivity and cost of labor, the nature and complexity of work to be performed, availability and cost of materials, components and subcontracts, the risk and impact of delayed performance and the level of indirect cost allocations.

At contract inception, existing or archived imagery is available for download by the customer. The existing or archived imagery has significant standalone functionality and is not updated once licensed to a particular customer. As such, the portion of the contract consideration related to the download license of existing or archive imagery content, which is generally not significant, is recognized as revenue at the commencement of the contract when control of the imagery is transferred, and the imagery is available for download by the customer. The portion of the contractual consideration related to the download of monitoring imagery content is recognized over the term of the contract utilizing a usage-based output measure of progress based on the download capacity specified in the contract. To the extent the number of downloads of the specified imagery content is unlimited, the contractual consideration related to downloads is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

The transaction price is the total amount of consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for the product offerings in a contract. The prices of imagery licensing and other services are generally fixed at contract inception and therefore, our contracts do not contain a significant amount of variable consideration.

Property and Equipment and Long-lived Assets

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Significant improvements that extend the useful life or add functionality to property and equipment are capitalized. Depreciation is computed once an asset is placed in service using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Costs directly associated with design, construction, launch, and commissioning of satellites and systems are capitalized when the design of the satellites and systems is at a sufficiently advanced stage such that we believe the recovery of the costs through future cash inflows to be probable. We capitalize materials, labor and launch costs (including integration and launch insurance costs) that are incurred and necessary for the satellites to be placed into service. We depreciate the cost of a satellite over its estimated useful life, using a straight-line method of depreciation, once it is placed into service, which is when we determine that the satellites are providing imagery that meets the required quality specifications for sale to our customers.

We depreciate the cost of a satellite over its estimated useful life, using a straight-line method of depreciation, once it is placed into service, which is when we determine that the satellites are providing imagery that meets the required quality specifications for sale to our customers.

The estimated useful life over which we depreciate a satellite is determined once the satellite has been placed into service. The initial determination of the satellite’s useful life involves the consideration of multiple factors, including design life, random part failure probabilities, expected component degradation and cycle life, fuel consumption (where applicable), and experience with satellite parts, vendors and similar assets.

At least annually, or more frequently, should facts and circumstances indicate a need, we perform an assessment of the remaining useful lives of our property and equipment including our satellites. The assessment for satellites evaluates satellite usage data, remaining fuel (where applicable), operational stresses and other factors that may impact the satellite’s expected useful life.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have in the past and may in the future be exposed to certain market risks, including foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk and inflation risk, in the ordinary course of our business. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to transactions in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Our foreign subsidiaries, revenue and operating expenses expose us to foreign currency exchange risk. For the fiscal years ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, approximately 2730%, 2427% and 2024%, respectively, of our revenue was in foreign currencies. These sales were primarily denominated in Euro. We do not believe a 10% change in the relative value of the U.S. Dollar would have materially affected our consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.

Interest Rate Risk

As of January 31, ~~2025~~2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $~~118~~229.04 million and $~~104~~410.06 million of short-term investments, consisting of available-for-sale securities. The available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair market value with unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

Our cash equivalent and investment portfolio is invested with a goal of preserving our access to capital, and primarily consists of money market funds, commercial paper, corporate debt securities and U.S. government debt securities. We follow an established investment policy and set of guidelines to monitor and help mitigate our exposure to interest rate and credit risk. On September 12, 2025, we issued $460.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2030 Notes carrying a fixed interest rate of 0.50%. Due to the relatively short-term nature of our investment portfolio and fixed rate nature of our 2030 Notes, awe have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on ~~the~~our ~~fair~~consolidated ~~value~~financial ofstatements ~~our portfolio~~ for the periods presented.

Inflation Risk

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Planet Labs PBC:

Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance ~~sheet~~sheets of Planet Labs PBC and subsidiaries (the Company) as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year ~~then~~period ended January 31, 2026, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, ~~2025~~2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, ~~2025~~2026, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year ~~then~~period ended January 31, 2026, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, ~~2025~~2026 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our ~~audit~~audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our ~~audit~~audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Table of Contents

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Table of Contents

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue recognition

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company derives its revenue principally from licensing rights to use imagery, ~~that~~dedicated iscapacity, data solutions and satellite services arrangements. Imagery licensing and data solutions are delivered digitally through ~~its~~the Company’s online platform. ~~Imagery~~in ~~licensing~~addition to providing related services. These agreements vary by contract, ~~but~~however, generally they have annual or multi-year contractual terms. The ~~data~~imagery ~~licenses~~licensing agreements are generally purchased via a fixed price contract on a subscription or usage basis, whereby a customer pays for access to the Company’s imagery. The Company recorded $~~244~~308 million in revenue for the year ended January 31, ~~2025~~2026.

We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue recognition for imagery licensing and data solutions as a critical audit matter. This matter required subjective auditor judgment because the Company’s revenue recognition process is highly automated using customized and proprietary IT applications. Auditor judgment was required in determining the nature and extent of audit evidence obtained over the information systems that process revenue transactions. Involvement of IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge was required to assist with the determination of IT applications subject to testing and the performance and evaluation of certain procedures.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over revenue recognition. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s revenue recognition process. We involved IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in testing controls related to the Company’s general information technology and application controls related to the IT applications used within the revenue recognition process. We assessed the recorded revenue by selecting a sample of transactions and comparing the amounts recognized for consistency with underlying documentation, including contracts with customers. In addition, we evaluated the overall sufficiency of audit evidence obtained by assessing the results of procedures performed, including appropriateness of the nature and extent of such evidence.
