Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	9. Commitments and Contingencies At times, the Company is party to various claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters is not presently determinable, management believes that the resolution of all such pending matters, based on an assessment of the current facts and circumstances, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in any period. L3Harris Commitment In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company acquired the agreement (the “L3Harris Agreement”) with L3Harris to receive satellite automatic identification system (“S-AIS”) data from the L3Harris AppStar payloads on-board Iridium NEXT Constellation, Iridium’s Real-Time, Second-Generation satellite constellation with 58 AppStar payloads. Under the A&R L3Harris Agreement, the Company incurred a fixed fee of $0.4 million per month. The A&R L3Harris Agreement expires on August 7, 2031. Under the A&R L3Harris Agreement, the Company was required to pay a 30% share of S-AIS data revenue for the portion of exactEarth annual S-AIS data revenue which was in excess of $16.0 million. No revenue share was owed to L3Harris under the A&R L3Harris Agreement, with respect to AIS Analytics sales, for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company recognized $0 and $1.2 million in cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for costs incurred to acquire exclusive access rights to data generated from satellites for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In connection with the closing of the Maritime Transaction, on April 25, 2025, the Company and L3Harris entered into the Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which, upon the closing of the Maritime Transaction, Buyer paid L3Harris $17.0 million for full and complete resolution and release of all disputes asserted in connection with the A&R L3Harris Agreement between exactEarth and L3Harris. The Company and Buyer further agreed that the Company would contribute $7.0 million toward the Settlement in the form of a reduction to the cash paid by Buyer to the Company at the closing of the Maritime Transaction. Litigation In July 2025, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC seeking records relating to, among other matters, (i) the restatement of its consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information as of the quarter ends and for the interim periods in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2024; (ii) its historical accounting policies and practices; (iii) its internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, and material weaknesses therein; and (iv) the premature filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company is in the process of producing records responsive to the subpoena and intends to continue cooperating with the SEC’s investigation; however, it cannot predict the ultimate outcome or timing of the investigation. Legal costs related to this matter are expensed as incurred. Space Services Customer Dispute On September 20, 2024, NorthStar Earth & Space, Inc., a Space Services customer, initiated arbitration before the Court of International Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) against Legacy Spire, seeking approximately $15.0 million in damages for alleged breaches of a Space Services contract entered into on March 1, 2022, to build a constellation of satellites focused on space-situational awareness and debris monitoring. On October 30, 2024, Legacy Spire denied all claims and asserted a counterclaim seeking approximately $5.0 million in damages. Separately, on October 22, 2024, Legacy Spire filed a motion for summary judgment in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, seeking to enforce the customer’s payment obligations under a promissory note, which became due on October 20, 2024, issued in connection with the Space Services contract. Legacy Spire sought payment of approximately $5.1 million, consisting of $4.5 million in principal, $0.6 million in interest, along with 14% interest per annum. The customer subsequently removed the action to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, and filed a motion to compel arbitration of the claim and stay the case pending the outcome of the arbitration. On February 24, 2025, the court granted the customer’s motion, compelling arbitration of all disputes arising from the note and staying the court proceedings pending the outcome of the arbitration. On February 24, 2025, the customer filed a Revised Request for Arbitration, seeking damages in the sum of $45.9 million, alleging additional breach of contract, willful misconduct and fraudulent misrepresentation claims against the Company, which the Company denies in full. In January 2026, the arbitral tribunal held an evidentiary hearing, the outcome of which remains pending. The Company believes that it has strong factual and legal defenses to NorthStar’s claims and that the damages by NorthStar are speculative, without evidentiary support, and contrary to the terms of the Space Services contract. At this time, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this matter.
