Business context and reporting period
This is NavSight Holdings, Inc.’s unaudited Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, not an operating-company 10-Q filed under Spire Global’s name. NavSight was a blank-check company seeking a business combination and had not commenced operations or generated operating revenue.
On February 28, 2021, NavSight agreed to combine with Spire Global, Inc. The proposed transaction contemplated approximately $1.1 billion in aggregate purchase consideration and up to 8 million additional shares subject to trading-price earn-out targets. Closing remained subject to conditions; this filing does not report the transaction as completed.
Financial performance and position
- Revenue: No operating revenue; NavSight expected none before a business combination.
- Net loss: $3.67 million for the quarter and $9.84 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Six-month operating costs were $2.00 million.
- Major unusual item: A $7.87 million six-month noncash loss from the increase in fair value of warrant liabilities, which rose to $31.23 million from $23.37 million at December 31, 2020. Trust-account interest income was $19,109.
- Cash flow: $846,830 used in operating activities over the six months. Cash declined to $401,595 from $1.32 million at year-end.
- Liquidity: Working capital was negative $1.32 million, excluding certain taxes payable. Trust-account investments totaled $230.03 million, intended primarily to fund a business combination and not general operating expenses.
- Debt and obligations: No long-term debt was reported. Current liabilities were $2.01 million, alongside an $8.05 million deferred underwriting fee payable and warrant liabilities. The deferred fee is waived if no business combination is completed.
- Equity and redemptions: $184.33 million of Class A shares was classified as subject to possible redemption; reported stockholders’ equity was $5.00 million.
Changes versus the prior comparable period
The filing’s 2020 comparison covers only the period from inception on May 29 through June 30, 2020, when the company had a $1,000 loss; it is not a meaningful year-over-year operating comparison. Compared with December 31, 2020, cash fell by approximately $922,000, warrant liabilities increased by $7.87 million, and negative working capital and accumulated deficit reflected ongoing SPAC costs and accounting for warrant remeasurement.
Outlook, risks, and controls
- NavSight had until September 14, 2022 to complete a business combination; otherwise, it was required to redeem public shares and liquidate, with warrants potentially expiring worthless.
- Management stated that additional financing might be needed to cover working-capital shortfalls and transaction costs. The company warned that financing might not be available and that this raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern through one year and one day after issuance of the financial statements.
- COVID-19 could adversely affect the search for a target, though the specific impact was not determinable. The filing also identified a risk that negative interest rates could reduce public shareholders’ trust-account redemption value.
- Disclosure controls were deemed ineffective as of June 30, 2021 due solely to a material weakness associated with the prior restatement to reclassify warrants. Management reported no material change in internal control during the quarter.
- No legal proceedings or off-balance-sheet arrangements were reported. The filing provided no operating-company guidance or forecast.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the business-combination agreement’s status, closing conditions, and final transaction terms; this filing describes a proposed Spire transaction, not a completed merger.
- Assess available operating cash separately from the restricted trust-account funds, and monitor financing needs and the going-concern warning.
- Review the warrant liability’s valuation and its noncash effect on reported losses.
- Check subsequent filings for remediation of the material weakness and updates to disclosure controls.
- Verify redemption levels, transaction financing, and any changes to the September 14, 2022 business-combination deadline.
