Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ: RKLB) - Earnings Call Summary for Q4/2025

Record Revenue & Margins: Revenue hit a record $179.7M (+35.7% YoY), pushing full-year 2025 revenue to $602M (+38% YoY). GAAP gross margin expanded to 38% — up 1,020 bps YoY — the strongest margin performance in company history.
EBITDA Improving, Net Loss Volatile: Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to -$17.4M, well ahead of the guided -$23M to -$29M range. However, GAAP net loss appeared elevated at -$52.9M vs. -$18.3M in Q3 — largely due to a one-time $41M tax benefit that had flattered Q3 FY2025.
Neutron Delay: A stage-one tank rupture during hydrostatic testing pushed Neutron's inaugural launch to Q4 2026, a key setback for the reusable medium-lift market — though management reaffirmed program commitment and timeline.
Backlog Surges to $1.85B: Backlog grew 73% YoY to $1.85B, anchored by an $816M Space Development Agency contract — the largest in Rocket Lab's history — providing strong multi-year revenue visibility.
Q1 2026 Guidance: Revenue guided at $185M–$200M with non-GAAP gross margin of 34%–36% and adjusted EBITDA loss of -$21M to -$27M, signaling continued growth momentum even as Neutron R&D spending ramps.
