Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Spire Global, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations applicable to interim financial reporting. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

As previously disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company identified immaterial revisions to previously issued financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The revision related to the understatement of general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Specifically, legal expenses of $1.8 million related to the Maritime Transaction were incurred during the first quarter of 2025 but were not accrued as a component of other accrued expenses in current liabilities.

Additionally, there was an understatement of stock-based compensation expense affecting cost of revenue, research and development, and sales and marketing expenses. In connection with the Maritime Transaction, the Company failed to record a portion of accelerated stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 resulting in an aggregate understatement of $1.0 million.

These errors had no impact on the condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity or statements of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, other than the impact to net loss for the period. The errors also had no impact on total cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities for the period.

The tables below provide information about the adjustments as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain prior year periods amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year periods presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net loss.

Liquidity Risks and Uncertainties

Liquidity Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has a history of operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company used $26.2 million in cash for operating activities. In April 2026, the Company closed the 2026 Private Placement (as defined in Note 14). The aggregate net proceeds for the 2026 Private Placement were approximately $65.5 million. These proceeds enhanced the Company’s cash position and are expected to support its liquidity needs.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management’s significant estimates include assumptions for revenue recognition, which requires estimates of total costs used in measuring the progress of completion for the cost-based input method; allowance for current expected credit losses; realizability of deferred income tax assets; fair value of equity awards and warrant liabilities; the useful lives of property and equipment; and the Company's incremental borrowing rate used in accounting for operating leases. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities, and Restricted Cash

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities, and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash included in other long-term assets, including restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, represents amounts pledged as guarantees or collateral for financing arrangements and lease agreements, as contractually required.

Marketable debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and as short-term or long-term based on contractual maturity. Unrealized gains and losses on marketable debt securities are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and interest is included in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table shows components of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as of the dates indicated:

Concentration Risk

Concentration Risk

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, marketable securities, notes receivable, and accounts receivable. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts, and management believes that the Company’s risk of loss is remote.

The Company typically has cash accounts in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance coverage limits. Additionally, the Company invests in highly rated, investment-grade securities with the objective of minimizing the principal

loss and limiting credit exposure to any single issuer. The Company’s investment policy requires securities to be investment grade and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer.

Substantially all of the Company’s marketable securities and certain cash equivalents, totaling $33.7 million and $65.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, are held with a single banking institution, representing a concentration of credit risk. The maximum exposure to loss is limited to the carrying amount of cash and marketable securities. The Company monitors the financial condition of the institution and believes the risk of loss is mitigated by its financial strength and the liquidity of the investments.

Geographic Risk

The Company also operates globally, and a substantial portion of its assets are located in certain geographic regions. The allocation of the Company’s assets by region was as follows:

The Company has a concentration of contractual revenue arrangements with various government agencies. Government agencies under common control are reported as a single customer. The following customers represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue and total accounts receivable for each of the following periods:

(1) Consists of multiple U.S. government agencies, of which one government agency represented greater than 10% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026. No government agency represented greater than 10% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

* Revenue from customer was less than 10% of total revenue during the applicable period or accounts receivable from customer were less than 10% of total accounts receivable as of the applicable period.

Vendor Risk

The Company relies on certain vendors for specific purchases. The Company believes its reliance on its vendors could be shifted over a period of time to alternative vendors should such a change be necessary. If the Company were unable to obtain alternative vendors due to factors beyond its control, its operations could be disrupted until alternative vendors were secured. The Company had one vendor from whom purchases of equipment, components and services individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2026. No individual vendor accounted for more than 10% of total purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The Company is also dependent on third parties to launch its satellites into space. Any launch delay, malfunction, or failure could adversely impact revenue and the Company's ability to satisfy minimum service level agreements until replacement satellites are available. The Company also incorporates technology and terrestrial data sets from third parties into its platform, and its inability to maintain rights and access to such technology and data sets would materially harm its business and results of operations.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets to simplify how entities estimate expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The ASU provides a practical expedient for all entities to assume that current economic conditions will not change for the remaining life of these assets when forecasting credit losses. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods within fiscal

years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2026. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The standard requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses, which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the guidance, noting the adoption impacts disclosures only.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by removing prescriptive development stages and clarifying the capitalization threshold. It also clarifies that capitalized internal-use software costs are subject to the disclosure requirements of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and are not required to follow the disclosures for other intangible assets. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities which establishes authoritative guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature of government grants, significant terms and conditions, accounting policies applied, and amounts recognized in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11.
