Spire Global Inc (NYSE: SPIR) is a space-based data and analytics company that collects data from a custom constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit and delivers it to commercial and government customers. Revenue comes primarily from subscription and contract-based sales of satellite-derived data and analytics, with approximately one-third of sales denominated in foreign currencies as of FY2025. Spire manufactures its satellites in-house at a single facility in the United Kingdom. The company completed the sale of its maritime business to Kpler Holding SA on April 25, 2025 for approximately $238.9 million, narrowing its focus to weather, space services, and related data products. Government customers include NOAA, the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency. The company reported net income of $51.3 million for FY2025, driven largely by the $154.3 million gain on the maritime business sale, against a net loss of $103.4 million in FY2024.
