Intuitive Machines to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
{\"0\":\"Intuitive Machines will report Q2 earnings on Aug. 7, before market open.\",\"1\":\"LUNR\'s revenues are likely to have risen backed by solid lunar payload mission services, especially IM-2.\",\"2\":\"Higher SG&A costs from tech upgrades and new HQ may weigh on Q2 earnings performance. \"}
LUNR’s earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three out of the last four consecutive quarters and missed in one, with the average earnings surprise being 57.42%.
Key Factors to Consider
In the second quarter, solid revenue generation from providing lunar payload, data analytics and data transmission services for NASA and other commercial contractors is expected to have boosted Intuitive Machines' top-line performance.
In particular, although LUNR completed the IM-2 mission at the end of the first quarter, successful payment from this mission is expected by it in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. As the company anticipates receiving payment for this mission in the second quarter, we expect it to be reflected in its income statement as higher revenues for the period.
Strong revenue generation, along with higher gross profit earned through efficient program execution and a focus on higher-margin service businesses, is likely to have boosted LUNR’s second-quarter bottom-line performance.
However, higher selling, general and administrative expenses due to continued investments in infrastructure, technology upgrades for the IM3 lunar mission, and costs related to the company’s new corporate headquarters are likely to hurt the second-quarter results.
Q2 Estimates for LUNR
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for LUNR’s second-quarter sales is pegged at $68.4 million, which indicates growth of 65.2% from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
The consensus estimate for loss is pegged at six cents per share, which indicates a deterioration from the year-ago quarter’s loss of five cents.
