Maxar's (MAXR) Loss Widens in Q2, Revenues Miss Estimates

Zacks Equity Research
·4-min read

Maxar Technologies Inc MAXR reported a loss per share of 41 cents in second-quarter 2022 against earnings of 60 cents in the prior-year quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings was pegged at 8 cents per share.

The company reported quarterly revenues of $438 million, down 7.4% from the year-ago quarter’s $473 million. Weakness at Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure segments affected the top line performance. The top line also missed the consensus mark of $453.9 million.

Revenues from Earth Intelligence increased marginally to $284 million. The top-line performance was primarily driven by higher product revenues. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA margin was down to 45.4% million from 46.3% a year ago.

Revenues from Space Infrastructure declined to $186 million from $206 million reported in the prior-year quarter. Revenues declined due to lower revenues from commercial and U.S. government customers.  The segment’s adjusted EBITDA margin was down to 10.2% million from 13.1% a year ago.
