PRESS RELEASE
Issued by: Virgin Galactic
Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 and provided a business update.
Michael Colglazier, Chief Executive Officer of Virgin Galactic said, "Progress on our SpaceShips continues across all systems and structures, and our strong balance sheet, with over $500 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, provides the foundation to execute our business model as we bring our SpaceShips into commercial service. We have continued to reduce our quarterly cash spending and operating expense as part of our disciplined approach. Commercial service remains planned for 2026, with both research and private astronaut flights expected in the fall next year."

Financial Guidance
The following forward-looking statements reflect our expectations for the third quarter of 2025 as of August 6, 2025 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 third quarter of 2025 is expected to be in the range of $(100) million to $(110) million.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
