Virgin Galactic announces fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results and provides business update
Monday, 30 March 2026

Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025 and provided a business update.

CEO Michael Colglazier said, “We completed pivotal milestones during the first quarter of 2026, and with assembly of our first SpaceShip nearly complete and ground testing set to begin in April, we have released a limited number of Virgin Galactic Spaceflight Expeditions, each priced at $750,000. Fabrication efforts are pivoting to support testing and production of our second SpaceShip, which we expect will enter service between late Q4 2026 and early Q1 2027 in line with our planned ramp in spaceflight cadence. With production of SpaceShips well underway, we are gearing up for rocket motor assembly at our Phoenix factory, with manufacturing planned to begin in Q4 2026. We continue to strategically manage our capital to support our planned ramp in cash flow from commercial spaceline operations.”

Financial Guidance

The following forward-looking statements reflect our expectations for the first quarter of 2026 as of March 30, 2026 and are subject to substantial uncertainty. Our results are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date, but may be materially affected by many factors, as discussed below in “Forward-Looking Statements.”

- Free cash flow for the first quarter of 2026 is expected to be in the range of $(90) million to $(95) million.

- For the remainder of 2026, free cash flow is expected to show sequential improvement from the first quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the Company’s results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), the Company is also providing certain non-GAAP financial measures. A discussion regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of such measures to the most directly comparable GAAP information is presented later in this press release.
