(1) Organization and its wholly owned subsidiaries ("VGH, Inc.")

Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries ("VGH, Inc."), in this report as "we," "us," "our," the "Company" and similar terms, are focused on the development, manufacture and operations of spaceships and related technologies for the purpose of conducting commercial human spaceflight and flying commercial research and development payloads into space. The development and manufacturing activities are located in Mojave, California with plans to operate the commercial spaceflights out of Spaceport America located in New Mexico.

Global Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. Since then, extraordinary actions have been taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions throughout the world. These actions include travel bans, quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders, and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.

Consistent with the actions taken by governmental authorities, including US Federal, California, New Mexico and the United Kingdom, where most of our workforce is located, we have taken appropriately cautious steps to protect our workforce and support community efforts. As part of these efforts, and in accordance with applicable government directives, we initially reduced and then temporarily suspended on-site operations at our facilities in Mojave, California and Spaceport America, New Mexico in March 2020. Starting late March 2020, approximately two-thirds of our employees and contractors were able to complete their duties from home, which enabled much critical work to continue, including engineering analysis and drawing releases for VSS Unity, VMS Eve and the second SpaceShipTwo vehicle, process documentation updates, as well as workforce training and education. The remaining one-third of our workforce was unable to perform their normal duties from home. In April 2020, in accordance with our classification within the critical infrastructure designation, we resumed limited operations under revised operational and manufacturing plans that conformed to the COVID-19 health precautions at that time. This included universal facial covering requirements, rearranging facilities to follow social distancing protocols, conducting active daily temperature checks and undertaking regular and thorough disinfecting of surfaces and tools. We also tested employees and contractors for COVID-19 on a regular basis. As the pandemic has evolved, we have continued to follow US Federal, State and UK guidance, as applicable to our sites. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the continued precautionary actions taken related to COVID-19 have adversely impacted, and are expected to continue to adversely impact, our operations, including the completion of the development of our spaceflight systems and our scheduled spaceflight test programs.

As of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, all our employees whose work requires them to be in our facilities are now back on-site, but we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, reductions in operational efficiency due to illness from COVID-19 and precautionary actions taken related to COVID-19. For the time being, we are encouraging those employees who are able to work from home to continue doing so.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the protocols and procedures we have implemented in response to the pandemic have caused some delays in operational and maintenance activities, including delays in our test flight program. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations subsequent to June 30, 2021 will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic and its impact on our operations necessary to complete the development of our spaceflight systems, our scheduled spaceflight test programs and commencement of our commercial flights. In addition to existing travel restrictions, countries may continue to maintain or reimpose closed borders, impose prolonged quarantines, or further restrict travel. We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2021, and management's operating plan, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

Warrant liability

As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the "Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-K"), the Company has restated its financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, as well as the summarized unaudited quarterly financial data for each of the quarterly periods from March 31, 2019 through December 31, 2020, to correct misstatements in those prior periods related to the accounting for warrants, under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The following tables represent the estimated fair value of the Company’s public and private warrant liabilities recorded on our balance sheet along with changes in fair value which are recorded as other income and expense on our statement of operations and the fair value of common stock issued on the date of exercise, which were recorded as additional paid in capital.

(2)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)    Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany transactions and balances between the various legal entities comprising the Company have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

(b)     Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP required us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, accounting for revenue, cost of revenue, contract assets, contract liabilities, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, net, accrued liabilities, income taxes including deferred tax assets and liabilities and impairment valuation, warrants, stock-based awards and contingencies.

(c)    Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when control of the promised service is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive based on the contracted amount for those services. Our contracts generally include spaceflight operations and other revenue and engineering services revenue.

Spaceflight operations and other revenue

Spaceflight operations and other revenue is recognized for providing human spaceflights and carrying payload cargo into space, or a combination of the two. In addition, we have various sponsorship arrangements for which revenue is recognized over the sponsorship term.

Human spaceflight services are those services provided to the majority of our customers. Spaceflight service revenue is recognized at a point in time upon successful completion of a spaceflight.

Payload cargo services generally include performance obligations in which control is transferred over time. We recognize revenue on these fixed fee contracts, over time, using the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total costs expected to complete the performance obligations.

In contracts which include a combination of services, the Company assesses and accounts for individual services separately if they are distinct performance obligations, which often requires judgment based upon knowledge of the services and structure of the sales contract. We allocate the contract price to each performance obligation based on the estimated standalone selling price using observable pricing from our contracts with single performance obligations.

Engineering services revenue

Engineering services revenue is recognized for providing services for the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology aerospace systems, products and services. We have arrangements as a subcontractor to the primary contractor of a long-term contract with the U.S. Government and perform the specified work on a time-and-materials basis subject to a guaranteed maximum price. Our engineering services revenue contract obligates us to provide services that together are one distinct performance obligation; the delivery of engineering services. The Company elected to apply the ‘as-invoiced’ practical expedient to such revenues, and as a result, will bypass estimating the variable transaction price. Revenue is recognized as control of the performance obligation is transferred over time to the customer.

Variable consideration

We generally estimate variable consideration and refund liabilities at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled or owed and in certain cases based on the expected value, which requires judgment. Estimated variable consideration amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty

(Unaudited)

associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimated refund liability amounts are excluded in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that they are payable to the customer. Our estimates of variable consideration and refund liabilities, and determination of whether to include the estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available to us.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Company does not disaggregate revenue for purposes of disclosure.

Contract balances

Contract assets are comprised of billed accounts receivable and unbilled receivables, which is the result of timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections. The Company records accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to consideration.

Contract liabilities relate to spaceflight operations and other revenue contracts and are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance. Cash payments for spaceflight services are classified as customer deposits until enforceable rights and obligations exist, when such deposits also become nonrefundable. Customer deposits become nonrefundable and are recorded as deferred revenue following the Company's delivery of the conditions of carriage to the customer and execution of an informed consent. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our contract liabilities are 82.0 million and $83.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the contract liabilities are comprised of customer deposits for our spaceflight services of $81.7 million and $0.3 million for our payload contracts. As of December 31, 2020, the contract liabilities are comprised of customer deposits for our spaceflight services of $82.7 million and $0.6 million for our payload contracts.

Contract fulfillment costs

The Company evaluates whether or not we should capitalize the costs of fulfilling a contract. Such costs would be capitalized when they are not within the scope of other standards and: (1) are directly related to a contract; (2) generate or enhance resources that will be used to satisfy performance obligations; and (3) are expected to be recovered.

Significant financing component

In determining the transaction price, the Company adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money when the timing of payments provides it with a significant benefit of financing the transfers of goods or services to the customer. In those circumstances, the contract contains a significant financing component. When adjusting the promised amount of consideration for a significant financing component, the Company uses the discount rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the entity and its customer at contract inception and recognizes the revenue amount on a straight-line basis over the term of the Customer Agreement, and interest expense using the effective interest rate method. When the time period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is not more than one year, the Company applies the significant financing component practical expedient and do not adjust the promised amount of consideration.

Remaining performance obligations

We do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for (a) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (b) revenues recognized at the amount at which we have the right to invoice for services performed, or (c) variable consideration allocated to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations.

(d)    Warrant liability

The Company classifies its public and private placement warrants as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 (Derivatives and Hedging). The warrant liability is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value on the issue date, with subsequent changes in their fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations at each reporting date.

The Company determined the fair value of its public warrants, which traded in active markets, using quoted market prices for identical instruments. The Company determines the fair value of the private placement warrants using a Black-Scholes option model and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock in an active market, a Level 3 measurement. Volatility is based on the actual market activity of the Company’s peer group as well as the Company's historical volatility since the Virgin Galactic Business Combination. The expected life is based on the remaining contractual term of the warrants, and the risk free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury Securities with a maturity equivalent to the warrants’ expected life.

(e)     Reclassification

Certain amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. We reclassified a portion of our property, plant and equipment in machinery and equipment to inventory, as part of our standardization of accounting policies across entities, for inventory and property, plant and equipment. These reclassifications impacted our condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

(f)     Other Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no other significant changes from the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the Company's Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-K.

The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

(3)    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”).

(a)Issued Accounting Standard Updates Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies and clarifies certain calculation and presentation matters related to convertible and equity and debt instruments. Specifically, ASU-2020-06 removes requirements to separately account for conversion features as a derivative under ASC Topic 815 and removing the requirement to account for beneficial conversion features on such instruments. Accounting Standards Update 2020-06 also provides clearer guidance surrounding disclosure of such instruments and provides specific guidance for how such instruments are to be incorporated in the calculation of Diluted EPS. The guidance under ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 to its financial statements.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 - Reference Rate Reform, which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounted transition. This update is effective immediately. We have evaluated and determined the update has no impact to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earning Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which clarified and reduced diversity in an issuer's accounting for modifications of exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This update is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2021-04 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(b)     Adopted Accounting Standard Updates

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which affects general principles within Topic 740, and are meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and simplifies areas including franchise taxes that are partially based on income, transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

On June 18, 2020, we financed the purchase of software licenses through a loan totaling approximately $0.9 million. The loan amortized in three equal annual installment of approximately $0.3 million with the final payment due on October 1, 2022 with 0% interest rate. The loan is secured by a standby letter of credit issued from our financial institution and restricted cash has been recorded for the corresponding outstanding balance.

The imputed interest of this loan was immaterial.

(10)    Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $6,000 and 40,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Income tax (expense) benefit was $(49,000) and $6,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective income tax rate was nil for three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The effective income tax rate was nil for six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a substantially full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

(11)    Stockholders' Equity

There have been no significant changes from the Stockholders' Equity disclosed in Note 11 of the “Stockholders Equity” included in the Amendment No. 2 Form 10-K other than the issuance of common stock and redemption of warrants as noted below.

Stockholders' Agreement

In connection with the closing of the Virgin Galactic Business Combination, the Company entered into a stockholders’ agreement with certain of the Company’s investors. Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement, as long as Virgin Investments Limited (VIL) is entitled to designate two directors to the Company’s Board

(Unaudited)

of Directors, the Company must obtain VIL’s prior written consent to engage in certain corporate transactions and management functions such as business combinations, disposals, acquisitions, incurring indebtedness, and engagement of professional advisors, among others.

Warrants and Warrant Redemption

Public warrants were initially issued as part of SCH's initial public offering in 2017 and assumed upon the consummation of the Business Combination. As of June 30, 2021, there were no public warrants outstanding. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 2,666,667 and 8,000,000 warrants outstanding, respectively, that were issued in a private placement simultaneously with the Company’s initial public offering (the “private placement warrants”). All remaining outstanding warrants were redeemed through cashless exercise in July 2021.

Under the terms of the warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) between us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, the public warrants became exercisable on a cashless basis on January 27, 2020, based on the exchange ratio as calculated under the Warrant Agreement at the time of the exercise. On March 13, 2020 and pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, we announced that all public warrants that remained unexercised immediately after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 13, 2020 (the “Redemption Date”) would be redeemed for $0.01 per warrant. Warrant holders could exercise their public warrants at any time from March 13, 2020 and prior to the Redemption Date on a cashless basis, and receive 0.5073 shares of common stock per public warrant surrendered for exercise. Immediately after the Redemption Date, 295,305 public warrants remained unexercised and were redeemed at a redemption price of $0.01 per public warrant in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement. The private placement warrants were not subject to the redemption and remain outstanding as of June 30, 2021.

The Company determined that both the public warrants and the private placement warrants (the "Warrants") should be classified as a liability in accordance with ASC 480. The Company remeasures the fair value of the Warrants at each reporting date with changes recorded in earnings. In connection with the Company's remeasurement of the Warrants to fair value, the Company recorded expense of approximately $20.4 million and $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $69.1 million and $326.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The fair value of the warrant liability is approximately $100.3 million and $135.4 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The private placement warrants are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. See Note 14. Fair Value Measurements.

(12 )     Earnings per Share

The following table presents net loss per share and related information:

						Three Months Ended June 30,												Six Months Ended June 30,
						2021						2020						2021						2020

Basic and diluted net loss per share						$	(0.39)					$	(0.34)					$	(0.94)					$	(2.17)

As of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the Company has excluded the potential effect of warrants to purchase shares of common stock totaling 2,666,667 and 8,000,000, respectively, shares and the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock units, as described in Note 12 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the 2020 Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-K, in the calculation of diluted loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive due to losses incurred.

(13)    Stock-Based Compensation

The Company's 2019 Incentive Award Plan ("2019 Plan") is more fully described in Note 13 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-K. Under the 2019 Plan, the Company has the ability to grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units ("RSU") to employees, directors and other service providers. Performance stock units ("PSU") are RSUs that vest based on the achievement of specified performance criteria. Twenty five percent of such stock options cliff vest at the grant dates first anniversary and will ratably vest monthly over the next three years, subject to continued employment on each vesting date. Vested options will be exercisable at any time until ten years from the grant date, subject to earlier expiration under certain terminations of service and other conditions. The stock options granted have an exercise price equal to the closing stock price of our common stock on the grant date.

Stock Option Units

The following table sets forth the summary of options activity for the six month ended June 30, 2021 under the 2019 Plan (dollars in thousands except per share data):

						Number of Shares						Weighted Average Exercise Price						Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)						Aggregate Intrinsic Value(1)
Options outstanding at December 31, 2020						6,796,045						$	13.59					8.64						68,888
Granted						—						—
Exercised						(1,013,402)						13.01
Forfeited options						(588,999)						13.93
Options outstanding at June 30, 2021						5,193,644						$	13.67					7.53						167,604
Options exercisable at June 30, 2021						1,916,745						$	13.49					7.34						62,305

(1) Aggregate intrinsic value is calculated based on the difference between our closing stock price at period end and the     exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options and represents the pre-tax amount that would have been received by the option holders, had they all exercised all their options on the period end date.

Restricted Stock Units

The RSUs vest over four years with 25% cliff vest at the first year anniversary of the grant date and ratably over the next three years.

The following table sets forth the summary of RSUs activity during the six months ended June 30, 2021 under the 2019 Plan (dollars in thousands except per share data):

Performance Stock Units

In March 2021, the Company granted a total of 84,626 PSUs to our executive officers. Between 25% and 200% of the PSUs are eligible to vest based on the achievement of certain performance goals by specified target dates. The fair value of these PSUs is calculated based on the market value of the Company's common stock on the grant date. These PSUs are amortized over the requisite service period in which it is probable that the performance goal is achieved. The following table summarizes the details of the performance stock units:

						Shares						Weighted Average Fair Value
PSUs outstanding at December 31, 2020						—						$	—
Granted						84,626						29.88
PSUs outstanding at June 30, 2021						84,626						$	29.88

assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which is categorized in one of the following levels:

•Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the

reporting entity at the measurement date;

•Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

•Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

The fair value of the warrant liability was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock in an active market, a Level 3 measurement. Volatility was based on the actual market activity of the Company’s peer group as well as the Company's historical volatility since the Virgin Galactic Business Combination. The expected life was based on the remaining contractual term of the warrants, and the risk free interest rate was based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury Securities with a maturity equivalent to the warrants’ expected life.

The Company calculated the estimated fair value of warrants using the following assumptions:

									As of
									June 30, 2021
Risk-free interest rate									0.53%
Contractual term									3.33 years
Expected volatility									85%

									As of
									December 31, 2020
Risk-free interest rate									0.25%
Contractual term									3.82 years
Expected volatility									80%

The carrying amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The following tables summarize the fair value of assets that are recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 at fair value on a recurring basis:

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company applies accounting for contingencies to determine when and how much to accrue for and disclose related to legal and other contingencies. Accordingly, the Company discloses contingencies deemed to be reasonably possible and accrues loss contingencies when, in consultation with legal advisors, it is concluded that a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Although the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters is subject to many uncertainties and is therefore not predictable with assurance, management believes that any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company from these matters, individually and in the aggregate, beyond that provided at June 30, 2021, would not be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance with respect to such result, and monetary liability or financial impact to the Company from legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims could differ materially from those projected.

In September 2018, a former contractor employed through a third party staffing agency, alleged on behalf of himself and other aggrieved employees that the Company and the staffing agency, purportedly violated California state

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the business of the Virgin Galactic Companies and their subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Virgin Galactic Business Combination and Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries after consummation of the Virgin Galactic Business Combination. Prior to the Virgin Galactic Business Combination and prior to the series of Vieco 10 reorganization steps, Galactic Ventures, LLC ("GV"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vieco 10, was the direct parent of the Virgin Galactic Companies.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto, and the discussion under “Management’s

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business” included in Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under the “Risk Factors” section of our

Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-K and under the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are at the vanguard of a new industry, pioneering a consumer space experience using reusable spaceflight systems. We believe the commercial exploration of space represents one of the most exciting and important technological initiatives of our time. Less than 600 humans have ever traveled above the Earth’s atmosphere into space to become officially recognized as astronauts, cosmonauts or taikonauts. This industry is growing dramatically due to new products, new sources of private and government funding, and new technologies. Demand is emerging from new sectors and demographics, which we believe is broadening the total addressable market. As government space agencies have retired or reduced their capacity to send humans into space, private companies are beginning to make exciting inroads into the fields of human space exploration. We have embarked on this journey with a mission to put humans into space and return them safely to Earth on a routine and consistent basis. We believe that opening access to space will connect the world to the wonder and awe created by space travel, offering customers a transformative experience, and provide the foundation for a myriad of exciting new industries.

We are a vertically integrated business built on top of an aerospace company, offering access to space for private individuals, researchers and government agencies. Our missions include flying passengers as tourists, as well as flying researchers and experiments for scientific and education purposes. Our operations include the design and development, manufacturing, ground and flight testing, and post-flight maintenance of our spaceflight system vehicles. Our spaceflight system is developed using our proprietary technology and processes and focused on providing space experiences for private astronauts, researcher flights and professional astronaut training.

We intend to offer our customers a unique, multi-day experience culminating in a spaceflight that includes several minutes of weightlessness and views of Earth from space. Our elegant and distinctive spaceflight system – which takes off and lands on a runway – has been designed for optimal safety and comfort. As part of our commercial operations, we have exclusive access to the Gateway to Space facility at Spaceport America located in New Mexico. Spaceport America is the world’s first purpose-built commercial spaceport and will be the site of our initial commercial spaceflight operations. We believe the site provides us with a competitive advantage as it not only has a desert climate with relatively predictable weather conditions preferable to support our spaceflights, it also has airspace that is restricted for surrounding commercial air traffic that facilitates frequent and consistent flight scheduling.

Our primary mission is to launch the commercial program for human spaceflight. In December 2018, we made history by flying our groundbreaking spaceship, VSS Unity, to space. This represented the first flight of a spaceflight system built for commercial service to take humans into space. In February 2019, we flew our second spaceflight with VSS Unity, which carried a crew member in the cabin in addition to the two pilots. After relocating our operations to Spaceport America, we have flown an additional two spaceflights in May and July 2021. The May flight carried revenue-generating scientific research experiments as part of NASA’s Flight Opportunities Program. This is the third time Virgin Galactic has flown technology experiments in the cabin on a spaceflight. This flight also completed the data submission to the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) resulting in the approval for the expansion of our commercial space transportation operator license to allow for the carriage of space flight participants. This marked the first time the FAA licensed a spaceline to fly customers and was further validation of the inherent safety of our system.

Table of Contents

Our July flight was the 22nd flight of VSS Unity, the fourth rocket powered spaceflight and the first spaceflight with a full crew of four mission specialists in the cabin, including our Founder, Sir Richard Branson.

We believe that the market for commercial human spaceflight is significant and untapped. We have received reservations for approximately 600 spaceflight tickets and collected more than $80.0 million in future astronaut deposits as of June 30, 2021. In February 2020, we launched our One Small Step campaign which allows interested individuals to place a $1,000 refundable registration deposit towards the cost of a future ticket once we reopen ticket sales and, as of June 30, 2021, there were approximately 1,000 participants in our One Small Step program from 66 countries. We retired the "One Small Step" program on December 31, 2020. With each ticket purchased, future astronauts will experience a multi-day journey to prepare their mind and body for their upcoming flight, which includes a comprehensive spaceflight training preparation program and culminates with a trip to space on the final day.

We have developed an extensive set of integrated aerospace development capabilities encompassing preliminary vehicle design and analysis, detail design, manufacturing, ground testing, flight testing, and maintenance of our spaceflight system. Our spaceflight system consists of two primary components: our carrier aircraft, the mothership, and our spaceship.

The Spaceship is a vehicle with the capacity to carry pilots and private astronauts, research experiments or researchers that travel with their experiments for human tended research flights, into space and return them safely to Earth. Fundamentally, the Spaceship is a rocket-powered aerospace vehicle that operates more like a plane than a traditional vertically launched rocket. It is powered by a hybrid rocket propulsion system, which propels the spaceship on a trajectory into space. The hybrid rocket motor utilizes liquid oxidizer and solid fuel and is designed to be a simple, safe, reliable propulsion system for the spaceship. Spaceship’s cabin has been designed to maximize the future astronaut’s safety, experience and comfort. A dozen windows line the sides and ceiling of the spaceship, offering customers the ability to view the blackness of space as well as stunning views of the Earth below. Our mothership is a twin-fuselage, custom-built aircraft designed to carry Spaceship up to an altitude of approximately 45,000 feet where it is released for its flight into space. Using the mothership’s air launch capability, rather than a standard ground-launch, reduces the energy requirements of our spaceflight system as Spaceship does not have to rocket its way through the higher density atmosphere closest to the Earth’s surface as well as being a fully reusable spaceflight system.

Our team is currently in various stages of designing, testing and manufacturing additional spaceships and rocket motors in order to meet the expected demand for human spaceflight experiences. Our next generation spaceships will include the various learnings from our flight test program so we are able to design and manufacture our future spaceships to allow for greater predictability, faster turnaround time and easier maintenance. Concurrently, we are also researching and developing new products and technologies to grow our company.

Our operations also include spaceflight opportunities for research and technology development. Prior to Virgin Galactic’s offering, researchers have utilized parabolic aircraft and drop towers to create moments of microgravity and conduct significant research activities related to the space environment. In most cases, these solutions offer only seconds of microgravity per flight and do not offer access to the upper atmosphere or space itself. Researchers can also conduct experiments on sounding rockets or satellites. These opportunities are expensive, infrequent and may impose highly limiting operational constraints. VSS Unity is intended to provide the scientific research community access to space for affordable and repeatable high-quality microgravity. Our suborbital platform is an end-to-end offering, which includes not only our vehicles, but also the hardware along with the processes and facilities needed for a successful campaign. The platform offers a routine, reliable and responsive service allowing for experiments to be repeated rapidly and frequently and with the opportunity to be tended in-flight by one or more researchers. This capability will enable scientific experiments as well as educational and research programs to be carried out by a broader range of individuals, organizations and institutions than ever before. Our commitment to advancing research and science has been present in all of our spaceflights to date. Most recently, in May, we carried payloads into space for research purposes as part of our contract with NASA under its Flight Opportunities Program, and our July flight included research payloads from the University of Florida.

We have also leveraged our knowledge and expertise in manufacturing spaceships to occasionally perform engineering services for future astronauts, such as research, design, development, manufacturing and integration of advanced technology systems.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section of our Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-K titled “Risk Factors.”

Commercial Launch of Our Human Spaceflight Program

28

---

Table of Contents

We are in the final phases of developing our commercial spaceflight program. Prior to commercialization, we must complete our test flight program, which includes a rigorous series of ground and flight tests, including our baseline spaceflight metrics, flight paths and safety protocol that will be used throughout our spaceflight program. Specifically, we are working towards a third test flight later this year which will be a revenue-generating flight with the Italian Air Force. We then expect to enter a period of planned maintenance and enhancements to the vehicles before we commence commercial service. Any delays in successful completion of our test flight program, whether due to the impact of COVID-19 or otherwise, will impact our ability to generate revenue from human spaceflight.

We recently became the first spaceline to receive FAA approval to carry commercial customers to space. This was through an update to our existing commercial spaceflight license which we have held since 2016.

Customer Demand

While not yet in commercial service for human spaceflight, we have already received significant interest from potential future astronauts. Going forward, we expect the size of our backlog and the number of future astronauts that have flown to space on our spaceflight system to be an important indicator of our future performance. As of June 30, 2021, we had reservations for space flights for approximately 600 future astronauts. In February 2020, we launched our One Small Step campaign which allowed interested individuals to place a $1,000 refundable registration deposit towards the cost of a future ticket once we reopen ticket sales and, as of December 31, 2020, we had received approximately 1,000 One Small Step deposits for approximately $1,000 from 66 countries before we retired the "One Small Step" program on December 31, 2020, but expect to reopen ticket sales in 2021.

Available Capacity and Annual Flight Rate

We face constraints of resources and competing demand for our human spaceflights. We expect to commence commercial operations with a single Spaceship, VSS Unity, and a single mothership carrier aircraft, VMS Eve, which together comprise our only spaceflight system. As a result, our annual flight rate will be constrained by the availability and capacity of this spaceflight system. To reduce this constraint, we are in various stages of designing, testing and manufacturing two additional Spaceship vehicles. We believe that expanding the fleet will allow us to increase our annual flight rate once commercialization is achieved.

Safety Performance of Our Spaceflight Systems

Our spaceflight systems are highly specialized with sophisticated and complex technology. We have built operational processes to ensure that the design, manufacture, performance and servicing of our spaceflight systems meet rigorous quality standards. However, our spaceflight systems are still subject to operational and process problems, such as manufacturing and design issues, pilot errors, or cyber-attacks. Any actual or perceived safety issues may result in significant reputational harm to our business and our ability to generate human spaceflight revenue.

Impact of COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. Since then, extraordinary actions have been taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions throughout the world. These actions have included travel bans, quarantines, "stay-at-home" orders, and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.

Consistent with the actions taken by governmental authorities, including US Federal, California, New Mexico and the United Kingdom, where most of our workforce is located, we have taken appropriately cautious steps to protect our workforce and support community efforts. As part of these efforts, and in accordance with applicable government directives, we initially reduced and then temporarily suspended on-site operations at our facilities in Mojave, California and Spaceport America, New Mexico and in our London office location in late March 2020. Starting March 2020, approximately two-thirds of our employees and contractors were able to complete their duties from home, which enabled much critical work to continue, including engineering analysis and drawing releases for VSS Unity, VMS Eve and the second Spaceship vehicle, process documentation updates, as well as workforce training and education. The remaining one-third of our workforce was unable to perform their normal duties from home. In April 2020, in accordance with our classification within the critical infrastructure designation, we resumed limited operations and under revised operational and manufacturing plans that conformed to the latest COVID-19 health precautions, at that time. Such actions included, although were not limited to universal facial covering requirements, rearranging facilities to follow social distancing protocols, conducting active daily temperature checks and undertaking regular

and thorough disinfecting of work surfaces, tools and equipment. We also offered testing to employees and contractors for COVID-19 on a regular basis. As the pandemic has evolved, we have continued to follow US Federal, State and UK guidance, as applicable to our sites. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the continued precautionary actions taken throughout 2020 and thus far during 2021 related to COVID-19 have adversely impacted, and are expected to continue to adversely impact, our operations, including the completion of the development of our spaceflight systems and our scheduled spaceflight test programs.

Beginning in the summer of 2020, all of our employees whose work requires them to be in our facilities returned back on-site, and we continue to follow Federal, State and international guidance as applicable, to ensure employee safety. We have, however, experienced, and expect to continue to experience, reductions in operational efficiency due to illness from COVID-19 and precautionary actions taken related to COVID-19. For the time being, we are encouraging those employees who are not required onsite and are able to work from home to continue doing.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the protocols and procedures we have implemented in response to the pandemic have caused and continue to cause delays to our business and operations, which has led to accumulated impacts to both schedule and cost efficiency and some delays in operational and maintenance activities, including delays in our test flight program. We expect this to continue. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of our future operations will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic and its impact on our operations necessary to complete the development of our spaceflight systems, our scheduled spaceflight test programs and commencement of our commercial flights. In addition to existing travel restrictions, countries may continue to maintain or reimpose closed borders, impose prolonged quarantines, and/or further restrict travel. We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2021 and management's operating plan, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If the pandemic worsens and we experience an additional delay, we may take additional actions, such as further reducing costs.

Component of Results of Operations

Revenue

To date, we have primarily generated revenue by transporting scientific commercial research and development payloads using our spaceflight systems and by providing engineering services as a subcontractor to the primary contractor of a long-term contract with the U.S. government. We also have generated revenues from a sponsorship arrangement.

Following the commercial launch of our human spaceflight services, we expect the significant majority of our revenue to be derived from ticket sales to fly to space. We also expect that we will continue to receive a small portion of our revenue by providing services relating to the research, design, development, manufacture and integration of advanced technology systems.

Cost of Revenue

Costs of revenue related to spaceflights includes costs related to the consumption of a rocket motor, fuel, payroll and benefits for our pilots and ground crew, and maintenance. Cost of revenue related to the payload and engineering services consists of expenses related to materials and human capital, such as payroll and benefits. Once we have completed our test flight program and commenced commercial operations, we will capitalize the cost to construct any additional Spaceship vehicles. Cost of revenue will include vehicle depreciation once those spaceships are placed into service. We have not capitalized any spaceship development costs to date.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit is calculated based on the difference between our revenue and cost of revenue. Gross margin is the percentage obtained by dividing gross profit by our revenue. Our gross profit and gross margin has varied historically based on the mix of revenue-generating spaceflights and engineering services. As we approach the commercialization of our spaceflights, we expect our gross profit and gross margin may continue to vary as we scale our fleet of spaceflight systems.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of human capital related expenses for employees involved in general corporate functions, including executive management and administration, accounting, finance, tax, legal, information technology, marketing and commercial, and human resources; depreciation expense and rent relating to facilities, including a portion of the lease with Spaceport America, and equipment; professional fees; and other general corporate costs. Human

Table of Contents

capital expenses primarily include salaries, cash bonuses, stock-based compensation and benefits. As we continue to grow as a company, we expect that our selling, general and administrative costs will increase on an absolute dollar basis.

Research and Development

Research and development expense represents costs incurred to support activities that advance our human spaceflight towards commercialization, including basic research, applied research, concept formulation studies, design, development, and related testing activities. Research and development costs consist primarily of the following costs for developing our spaceflight systems:

•flight testing programs, including rocket motors, fuel, and payroll and benefits for pilots and ground crew performing test flights;

•equipment, material, and labor hours (including from third party contractors) for developing the spaceflight system’s structure, spaceflight propulsion system, and flight profiles; and

•rent, maintenance, and depreciation of facilities and equipment and other overhead expenses allocated to the research and development departments.

As of June 30, 2021, our current primary research and development objectives focus on the development of our Mothership and Spaceship vehicles for commercial spaceflights and developing our RocketMotor, a hybrid rocket propulsion system that will be used to propel our Spaceship vehicles into space. The successful development of Mothership, Spaceship and RocketMotor involves many uncertainties, including:

•timing in finalizing spaceflight systems design and specifications;

•successful completion of flight test programs, including flight safety tests;

•our ability to obtain additional applicable approvals, licenses or certifications from regulatory agencies, if required, and maintaining current approvals, licenses or certifications;

•performance of our manufacturing facilities despite risks that disrupt productions, such as natural disasters and hazardous materials;

•performance of a limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials and components;

•performance of our third-party contractors that support our research and development activities;

•our ability to maintain rights from third parties for intellectual properties critical to research and development activities;

•our ability to continue funding and maintain our current research and development activities; and

•the impact of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables could delay the development of Spaceship and RocketMotor, which in turn could impact when we are able to commence our human spaceflights.

As we are currently still in our final development and testing stage of our spaceflight system, we have expensed all research and development costs associated with developing and building our spaceflight system. We expect that our research and development expenses will decrease once technological feasibility is reached for our spaceflight systems as the costs incurred to manufacture additional Spaceship vehicles, built by leveraging the invested research and development, will no longer qualify as research and development activities.

Change in Fair Value of Warrants

Change in fair value of warrants reflects the non-cash change in the fair value of warrants. Certain warrants issued as part of the Company's initial public offering in 2017 and assumed upon the consummation of the Business Combination were recorded at their fair value on the date of the Business Combination and are remeasured as of any warrant exercise date and at the end of each reporting period.

Interest Income, net

Interest income, net consists primarily of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents held by us in interest bearing demand deposit accounts and cash equivalents, as well as interest expense related to our finance lease obligations.

Other Income, net

Other income consists of miscellaneous non-operating items, such as gains on marketable securities and handling fees related to customer refunds.

Income Tax Provision

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and the United Kingdom. Our income tax provision consists of an estimate of federal, state, and foreign income taxes based on enacted federal, state, and foreign tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in tax laws.

We recorded $0.6 million of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.2 million revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Revenue recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was attributable to the spaceflight of two payloads in May 2021 and revenue earned from the completion of certain technical milestones related to payload services. Revenue recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was related to engineering services provided under long-term U.S. government contracts that ended in early 2020.

We recorded $0.1 million cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to no cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020. We recorded $0.1 million cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.2 million cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cost of revenue primarily relates to the incremental costs related to the completion of payload services and labor costs provided for engineering services under long-term U.S. government contracts.

Gross profit increased by $0.5 million, or 100%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased 100% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $12.5 million, or 48%, to $38.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $26.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to a $6.9 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $3.5 million increase in salary, bonus, and other benefits. In addition there was a $2.0 million increase in marketing related expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $30.6 million, or 58%, to $83.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $52.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to a $22.0 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $9.4 million increase in salary, bonus, and other benefits.

Research and development expenses decreased by $1.1 million, or 3%, to $35.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $37.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due a $5.0 million decrease in contract labor associated with the development our spaceflight system. This decrease was partially offset by increases of $2.0 million of stock-based compensation and $2.0 million in salaries, bonus and other benefits both primarily driven by the addition of key executive leadership.

Research and development expenses increased by $1.1 million, or 1%, to $72.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $71.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $6.0 million increase in salaries, bonus, and other benefits and a $4.5 million increase in stock-based compensation both primarily driven by the addition of key executive leadership. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $11.0 million in contract labor associated with the development our spaceflight system.

Change in the Fair Value of Warrants

Change in fair value of warrants reflects the non-cash change in the fair value of warrants. Certain warrants issued as part of the Company's initial public offering in 2017 and assumed upon the consummation of the Business Combination were recorded at their fair value on the date of the Business Combination and are remeasured as of any warrant exercise date and at the end of each reporting period.

Other Income, net

The changes in other income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 from the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were not material and were primarily attributable to the net unrealized losses on marketable securities.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit

Income tax (expense) benefit was immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. We have accumulated net operating losses at the federal and state level as we have not yet started commercial operations. We maintain a substantially full valuation allowance against our net U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. The income tax expenses shown above are primarily related to minimum state filing fees in the states where we have operations as well as corporate income taxes for our operations in the United Kingdom, which operates on a cost-plus arrangement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Prior to the consummation of the Virgin Galactic Business Combination, our operations historically participated in cash management and funding arrangements managed by Vieco 10 and GV. Only cash and cash equivalents held in bank accounts legally owned by entities dedicated to us are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash and cash equivalents held in bank accounts legally owned by Vieco 10 and GV were not directly attributable to us for any of the periods presented. Transfers of cash, both to and from Vieco 10 and GV by us have been reflected as a component of net parent investment and membership equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and as a financing activity on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $565 million. From the time of our inception to the consummation of the Virgin Galactic Business Combination, we financed our operations and capital expenditures through cash flows financed by Vieco 10 and GV. Our principal sources of liquidity following the Virgin Galactic Business Combination have been from the October 2019 investment by an entity affiliated with the Boeing Company and sales of our common stock.

As noted in Note 18 in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we completed the ATM, generating $493.7 million in net proceeds, through the sale of 13,740,433 shares of common stock. We intend to use the net proceeds generated from the ATM for general corporate purposes, including working capital, general and administrative matters and capital expenditures for our manufacturing capabilities, development of our spaceship fleet and other infrastructure improvements.

$4.5 million, stock based compensation expense of $10.0 million, and change in fair value of warrants of $326.5 million, as well as a $0.4 million increase in cash consumed by working capital.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily consisting of the completion of construction activities at the Gateway to Space facility and purchases of IT infrastructure and tooling and manufacturing equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities was $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily consisting of construction activities at the Gateway to Space facility, IT infrastructure purchases, and the purchase of tooling and manufacturing equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, consisting primarily of net cash proceeds from issuance of common stock, offset by tax withholdings for stock options exercised.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, consisting primarily of cash consumed by professional and other fees related to financing transaction costs.

Funding Requirements

We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to advance the development of our spaceflight system and the commercialization of our human spaceflight operations. In addition, we expect cost of revenue to increase significantly as we commence commercial operations and add additional spaceships to our operating fleet.

Specifically, our operating expenses will increase as we:

•scale up our manufacturing processes and capabilities to support expanding our fleet with additional spaceships, carrier aircraft and rocket motors upon commercialization;

•pursue further research and development on our future human spaceflights, including those related to our research and education efforts, supersonic and hypersonic point-to-point travel;

•hire additional personnel in research and development, manufacturing operations, testing programs, and maintenance as we increase the volume of our spaceflights upon commercialization;

•seek regulatory approval for any changes, upgrades or improvements to our spaceflight technologies and operations in the future, especially upon commercialization;

•maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio; and

•hire additional personnel in management to support the expansion of our operational, financial, information technology, and other areas to support our operations as a public company.

Although we believe that our current capital is adequate to sustain our operations for a period of time, changing circumstances may cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more money than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control. Additionally, we are in the final phases of developing our commercial spaceflight program. While we anticipate initial commercial launch with a single Spaceship, we currently have two additional Spaceship vehicles under construction. We anticipate the costs to manufacture additional vehicles will begin to decrease as we continue to scale up our manufacturing processes and capabilities. Until we have achieved technological feasibility with our spaceflight systems, we will not capitalize expenditures incurred to construct any additional components of our spaceflight systems and continue to expense these costs as incurred to research and development.

The commercial launch of our human spaceflight program and the anticipated expansion of our fleet have unpredictable costs and are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, that may affect the timing and magnitude of these anticipated expenditures.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Except as set forth in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations and commitments as described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on May 10, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet activities or have any arrangements or relationships with unconsolidated entities, such as variable interest, special purpose, and structured finance entities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements and, therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Please refer to Note 2 in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information about these critical accounting policies, as well as a description of our other significant accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to Note 3 in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of the date of this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We have operations within the United States and the United Kingdom and as such we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We are also exposed to market risk from changes in our stock prices, which impact the fair value of our warrant liability. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.

Interest Rate Risk

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist solely of cash held in depository accounts and as such are not affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates. We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2021, we had $565 million deposits held primarily in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, which includes $552 million in cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short term investments and would not be significantly impacted by changes in the interest rates. We believe that a 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material effect on our interest income or expense.

Foreign Currency Risk

The functional currency of our operations in the United Kingdom is the local currency. We translate the financial statements of the operations in the United Kingdom to United States Dollars and as such we are exposed to foreign currency risk. Currently, we do not use foreign currency forward contracts to manage exchange rate risk, as the amount subject to foreign currency risk is not material to our overall operations and results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control

37

---

Table of Contents

As of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management has completed the implementation of our remediation efforts of the material weakness related to accounting for warrants issued as part of the Virgin Galactic Business Combination as previously reported. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our remediation efforts included requiring the formalized consideration of obtaining additional technical guidance prior to concluding on significant or unusual transactions. These additional considerations include items such as obtaining additional accounting pronouncements or performing consultations with third party accounting specialists, authoritative bodies or regulators.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, and the information described above in this Item 4, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than described above in this Item 4, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other proceedings may involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties, and could result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions or relief. However, we do not consider any such claims, lawsuits or proceedings that are currently pending, including the matter described under Item 1A., Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our future operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, in addition to the risk factor included below, see the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, which risk factor section is incorporated herein by reference.

Litigation in which we are or may become involved may materially adversely affect us.

From time to time, we may become involved in various legal proceedings relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business, including intellectual property, commercial, product liability, employment, class action, whistleblower and other litigation and claims, and governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. In May 2021, a class action complaint was filed against us in the Eastern District of New York captioned Lavin v. Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc., Case No. 1:21-cv-03070, alleging, among other things, that we made false and misleading statements regarding the accounting treatment of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, which resulted in the restatement of our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. This matter or other such matters may be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause us to incur significant expenses or liability or require us to change our business practices, even if we believe the claims asserted against us are without merit. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, we may, from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, we cannot assure you that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business.
