With that, I'll turn the call over to NextNav's chairman, Gary Parsons. Please go ahead, sir. Well, thank you very much, operator. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to NextNav's Q4 and full year 2022 earnings call. As the operator indicated, joining me today are NextNav's CEO, Ganesh Pattabiraman, and NextNav's CFO, Chris Gates. 2022 was a solid year for NextNav, building on the momentum from our go-public transaction in 2021. We established a strong operational foundation, and we expanded our capabilities from both a product and a technology standpoint. At each step, we're guided by 3 strategic priorities. As a reminder, we've said these before, but as a reminder, those priorities are, first, being the industry leader in resilient positioning, navigation, and timing or PNT. Next, leveraging our recent Nestwave acquisition to significant abilities of our spectrum assets. Finally, expanding our global reach. A major milestone in each of these priorities was achieved in the Q4 of 2022 with our acquisition of Nestwave, a privately held global leader in low-power geolocation. As Ganesh will detail later, following the early integration of engineering teams late last year, we're preparing to launch initial implementations of the combined technologies later this spring. With Nestwave, which by the way is now named NextNav France, we incorporate unique intellectual property that allows us to rapidly meet the growing needs of PNT resilience for government's critical infrastructure, public safety, and other sectors. The acquisition and final tech implementation and integration will also enable us to dramatically improve spectral efficiency for our underlying spectrum assets utilizing LTE and 5G waveforms. As we've indicated, in our intention in prior calls, NextNav has now filed modifications for our existing experimental licenses to include testing of those various LTE and 5G configurations. The combined Nestwave, NextNav technology not only enhances the technical capabilities and data-carrying capacity of our spectrum, but it also expected to significantly reduce future capital and network operating expenditures associated with the deployment of our TerraPoiNT technology. From a spectrum standpoint, certainly recall that we are the sole licensee of eight megahertz of contiguous low-band spectrum. We own a total of 2.4 billion megahertz pops, which covers approximately 93% of the U.S. population. Our unique spectrum assets fit in existing 3GPP bands for LTE and 5G spectrum, which facilitates integration into mobile handsets and provides significant operational advantages. By the way, on a related spectrum front, just last week, the Biden administration announced it's seeking public comment on what should be included in the long-awaited National Broadband Spectrum Strategy. That effort is being led by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, or NTIA, a telecom agency within the Commerce Department. The last national broadband plan is over a decade old. This coming effort is seeking to identify up to 1,500 megahertz of spectrum to examine for potential repurposing, expressly for the purpose of expanded broadband availability. The request seeks feedback on three strategic pillars. First, what type of spectrum the government should try to free up for commercial broadband use? Secondly, how to best do long-term spectrum planning? Thirdly, how technology can improve spectrum management and inform new models of spectrum sharing? NextNav's technology has already proven its ability to provide critical public safety and governmental services without interfering with other nearby services. We believe that enhancing these capabilities to improve spectral efficiency and deliver valuable broadband carriage is consistent with the government's overarching broadband objectives. Turning to our Pinnacle vertical location technology. We continue to advance our work in the E911 and public safety sector. We signed several notable contracts in 2022, led by our agreement with Verizon. Verizon is the first tier one carrier to launch a device with our Pinnacle technology for E911 emergency calling. We expect to announce additional implementations during this year. Overall, 2022 saw us make meaningful progress executing against our strategic priorities, and 2023 thus far has continued this promising trend. I look forward to sharing more with you later this year. With that, let me turn it over to Ganesh to provide a deeper dive into our current initiatives as well as operational and customer milestones. Ganesh? Thanks, Gary. Thanks everyone for joining the call this afternoon. 2022 was a year of execution for us at NextNav. We made our Pinnacle solution available at scale. With the acquisition of NextNav France, we can make a resilient PNT solution available in more places at a significantly lower cost and unleash the potential of our underlying spectrum asset. As Gary noted, the integration of NextNav France is progressing well. Since November, we have worked alongside Ambroise Popper to complete the integration of our engineering and operations team. With the integration behind us, we're now focused on the integration and implementation of the overall technology. By combining our TerraPoiNT technology with existing LT and 5G cellular networks, we can create a highly accurate and highly synchronized resilient PNT network utilizing TerraPoiNT transmitters only in locations with the greatest need. Based on our progress to date, we expect to have initial implementations of the combined technologies ready for internal testing in the second quarter. We expect those trials to run for several months, with the full technology integration occurring by the end of the year. Additionally, as we noted, we expect the integration to enable us to drive to greater spectral efficiency from our underlying spectrum asset, allowing us to harmonize the TerraPoiNT system with LTE and 5G waveforms. As Gary noted, we just filed an experimental license earlier today. With these implementations, we believe we may be able to meet not only resilient PNT needs, but also support data-carrying capabilities on our spectrum. As we indicated last fall, unleashing the full value of our spectrum is a strategic priority for us, this technology integration moves us in the right direction. We expect to have more exciting news on this front in the near future. Regarding Pinnacle, we continue to establish customer relationship with some of the industry's leading players, including Prepared, Convey911, and Sonim Technologies, to name a few. In January, we announced integration of our Pinnacle technology into Sonim's XP3plus flip phone, which is now available to all Verizon and Verizon Frontline customers. This is a significant milestone as Verizon is the first tier one provider to launch with our Pinnacle service for 911 purposes. More importantly, we expect additional devices, including with other tier one carriers, to be enabled by our Pinnacle technology for E911 throughout the year. We're also beginning to see integration of Pinnacle's z-axis capabilities in additional public safety applications. In February, RadioIP, a leader in secure mobile communications, announced that it's utilizing NextNav's technology to empower its industry-leading VPN solution with mission-critical z-axis location intelligence. As we move through 2023, we expect to see more of these implementations coming online. We continue to believe that the federal procurement language modifications as outlined in Executive Order 13905 will be released in the coming months. We're continuing to have discussions with various departments and agencies on how best to advance resilient PNT. We held discussions with DHS and NIST as they were working towards characterizing PNT vulnerabilities, and we were pleased to see NIST recognize PNT as a cybersecurity vulnerability in its latest revision to the PNT Profile. This is important as it enables several of the cybersecurity funds in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the trillion-dollar bill that was passed a year ago, to be made available for PNT resilience. The Congress as part of the 2023 omnibus appropriations bill, awarded DOT with $15 million to implement recommendations for PNT resilience following the testing that they conducted in 2020. Interestingly, with the new NIST classification, cybersecurity is now a significant part of the conversations we're having with several state and local officials around how best to leverage state-directed infrastructure funding. We're now energized by these early-stage discussions. We feel confident we'll make additional inroads later this year. Another area of momentum for us is our work in support of NASA. We recently expanded our relationship, having been selected to deliver PNT services for its urban drone operation at the Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. The agreement builds on an existing collaboration between NextNav and NASA, in which the agency leverages the TerraPoiNT network to support its CERTAIN program at Langley Research Center in Virginia. Under our new relationship with NASA will be utilizing the TerraPoiNT network to conduct drone navigation, detection, and collision avoidance in support of and better understanding of PNT in GPS-denied environments. Initial tests in the Bay Area will leverage the TerraPoiNT network that we already have present in the region, allowing for beyond visual line of sight testing for drones operating outside the visible range of a pilot. We are thrilled to have developed such a strong relationship with NASA and look forward to identifying new opportunities to support their work in the future. On the global front, the European Union today published the results of the evaluation of the alternate PNT testing. The demonstrations tested technologies from 7 different companies on their ability to address vulnerabilities and serve as a backup to GNSS. As part of the findings, JRC recognized NextNav's TerraPoiNT solution as a mature solution that meets or exceeds all relevant benchmarks to serve as a resilient layer to existing GNSS technology. You will recall tests by the U.S. Department of Transportation found TerraPoiNT to be the only commercial PNT alternative to meet identified needs in all applicable use cases. The JRC also recommends that spectrum be allocated for terrestrial PNT resilience within the EU. This is consistent with the actions the Japanese government is taking to provide spectrum to NextNav's JV partner, MetCom. Similar to the DOT recommendations, the JRC report also recommends a system of systems approach to mitigate GNSS vulnerabilities. As European policymakers look ahead to the upcoming European Radio Navigation Plan and develop their infrastructure priorities, we'll be encouraging them to use these findings as a lodestar to act quickly before facing the serious consequences of a GNSS outage. We're also speaking to many of these same officials about the advantage of our Pinnacle solution. Following the commercial launch of our Pinnacle technology in Japan, we are now fielding significant interest from additional countries. We recently hosted a delegation from a European country regarding possible upcoming trials. As these conversations advance, we're hopeful that it'll lead to additional trials in the coming months. Overall, we're thrilled with our progress in 2022 and excited by what lies ahead of us. We're working closely with governments and companies alike to help make PNT resilience a reality. With that, let me turn things over to Chris for a review of the numbers. Chris? Thanks, Ganesh. Good afternoon, everyone. Now we'll go through our Q4 and full year 2022 results. Beginning with the top line, revenue in fiscal year 2022 was $3.9 million, including $803,000 in the Q as compared to $763,000 and $20,000 in the full year and Q4 of 2021 respectively. The increase in both the quarter and year was driven by increased revenue from technology and services contracts with commercial customers. Operating expenses for 2022 were approximately $69 million, including $15.3 million in the Q4, which included $934,000 in transaction-related expenses for our acquisition of Nestwave. This compares to approximately $43 million in the prior year period and $14.2 million in the Q4 of 2021. Operating expenses in 2022 included $26.5 million of equity compensation expense and $3.7 million of depreciation and amortization, compared to $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in 2021. Operating expenses in fiscal year 2021 also included $9 million of warrant expenses associated with our AT&T site hosting arrangement. Operating expenses for the quarter included $5.9 million in equity compensation expense and $1.0 million of depreciation and amortization, compared to $641,000 and $713,000, respectively, in the Q4 of 2021. Our full year net loss was $40.1 million, including $12.5 million in the Q4 as compared to $144.7 million and $46.2 million in the full year and Q4 of 2021, respectively. Net loss for 2022 included a gain of $24.7 million related to the change in fair value of warrants. We continue to maintain substantial capital flexibility with $55.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on our balance sheet. Going forward, we continue to focus on managing costs and our balance sheet as new customers bring our products into revenue service. As we noted on our Q3 earnings call, the Nestwave acquisition is expected to substantially reduce our future capital needs by decreasing the CapEx and network OpEx required for a broad TerraPoiNT deployment in the U.S. while facilitating our global expansion, and as Gary highlighted previously, allow us to significantly improve our spectrum assets. With that, I'll turn the call over to the operator for questions. Operator? Thank you very much, Mr. Gates. Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, if you do have any questions, simply press star one. If you find that your question has already been addressed, you can remove yourself from the queue by pressing star one again. We'll take our first question this afternoon from Mr. Mike Crawford of B. Riley Securities. Thank you. Given, we're more than 90% of the way through Q1, what visibility do you have into revenue and cash usage in Q1? Great question, Mike, I can pick that up. Now, as you know, we don't provide revenue guidance as we remain in the earlier stages of ramping our business. For 2023 as a whole, we hold some optimism for revenue growth, albeit with some lumpiness as public safety customers bring existing agreements into service. We work towards potentially larger opportunities that may emerge from E911 international and government initiatives. We are focused on managing our use of cash as we work towards our major strategic objectives. A s we've said in the past, we may expect some modest amount of increase in cash usage. I actually think 2022, we spent $44.4 million with kind of an average cash usage of approximately $11 million per quarter. While we've been a little cautious about providing guidance, I wouldn't expect dramatic increases in our use of cash as we kind of work through the year. Okay. Should we expect you to put some asset, spectrum asset-backed debt on the balance sheet in the second quarter? That is a very good question. B ecause of our tight focus on managing expense growth and costs, and as I just indicated, we maintain a pretty strong balance sheet, which provides us with a decent amount of flexibility to navigate the market conditions we see right now. As we've said in the past, we do have a strong asset base, and we believe that will enable us to secure attractive financing at the right time. Our spectrum licenses constitute a pretty rare swath of high-value, low-band spectrum, obviously bolstered by a large and growing intellectual property portfolio, supporting our PNT capabilities, which as we've discussed, are growing in importance in the U.S. and as we heard from Ganesh, regarding the recent JRC report internationally. I n the event that we do raise capital, a core focus, of course, is minimizing equity dilution and leveraging our asset base as we have in the past. T hat's directionally how we would think about it. Okay. If you don't mind, I'll just ask one more question about the business and one about spectrum. Would you say that most of the revenue you expect in 2023 relates to the public safety and E911 verticals? Um- I can go ahead, Chris. I can take that. Yeah. Hey, Mike. I think, yeah, I mean, we're obviously looking at many different opportunities as things mature, but certainly E911 and public safety have the greatest momentum in the U.S. market for where we see a lot of desire for our capabilities, and we will be pursuing them vigorously in the year. We do see some international opportunities emerging and potentially some governmental-related opportunities also that may materialize. I think certainly some of those are certainly possible and in the realm of what we see potentially occurring in the year. Okay. Thank you. Final question is, given the capabilities you now have with what you've now named NextNav France, just how much excess data carrying capabilities do you have with 8 MHz of bandwidth, low-band contiguous spectrum that you have that could potentially ride on LTE or 5G signal if you got proper authorizations to do so, what amount of excess data carrying capability would you have in addition to propagating the timing signal to enable a terrestrial GPS-like backup or alternative signal? Yeah, I can take a stab at it and Gary, you may want to add some color here. I would say that the original paradigm where we had looked at spectrum as some portion of it being used for PNT resilience and another portion for maybe excess data carrying capacity, I would say that's probably not the paradigm we are looking at. As we have gotten a better understanding of the technologies and how we can synergize and leverage them for maximum to reach their maximum potential. Our current view really is that it's not an either/or. It's a combination in the sense that if you look at our full band of 8 megahertz within the band, you can certainly structure capabilities such that you can meet the PNT timing requirements with. We may think of it similar to as what we may do with the LTE signals where you're sending timing signals for a short burst of time, but then it's data carrying for the remainder portion. There are configurations like that we are potentially evaluating. T hat's where our experimental license will come into play. The framework really is going to be to support both the requirements of PNT and data carrying across our entire spectrum in a coordinated fashion. Oh, okay. Thank you very much. Sure. Thank you. We go next now to Timothy Horan at Oppenheimer. Thanks, guys. Just following up on that, basically, you're saying that the timing won't interfere with data transport. You can basically, do both at the same time. You know, would timing use like 10% of the capacity or? I know you're early stages on this. A ny other color around that would be great on the spectrum, what are you hoping from the Biden administration here on their plans for broadband or sorry, for planning more wireless spectrum? Yeah, I can take a stab at the first one and then, t o answer your question there, Tim, we haven't finalized on that piece. W hat portion of our signal would be timing versus what portion data carrying, that's part of the work that we have planned for the year. If you look at a good example is, in LP, there's an ability to send or in 5G, an ability to send a PRS-type waveform for, 0 to 10 or 20 milliseconds, whatever the time period might be. T hose certainly are constructs that are available. We will be experimenting further into that because I think our mandate is slightly different to, and it is to deliver that high-quality resilient PNT capability in addition to potentially unlocking the spectrum for data carrying capacity. We don't have an exact framework yet, I think, but those are the existing work that's being done in 3GPP would serve as good models for us to evaluate. Just on that point, so you probably wouldn't need any more approval from the FCC or a change in license to do what you're describing right now. You could probably just go ahead and do that. No. To make it sort of commercially available, we will need to get FCC approval. We are experimenting right now and as I mentioned earlier, we did file an experimental license to evaluate these configurations. To get the final approval, we will have to go through an FCC process. Okay. Got it. What are you hoping from the broadband or spectrum plan, wireless plan here? Gary, do you wanna take that one? We may have lost Gary. I'm not sure. Can you hear us? Okay, I'll take a stab at it. I mean, I think as. Yeah. No, I'm sorry, Ganesh. I'll definitely take that. I had my cell phone on mute, unfortunately. If you'll remember back, the last one of these nationwide broadband plans was done, gosh, 2009, 2010 type timeframe. That laid out a lot of the spectrum activities that then occurred throughout the administration and at the FCC through multiple administrations. Once again, it's fortunately a very bipartisan effort and always has been. Now, the growth of the need for broadband has just dramatically escalated. You have a situation now where you've definitely got to find more broadband capability. Everybody knew that they would eventually get around to doing it, so it wasn't like it was unexpected, but it was pleasant to finally see that they are out formally going through a process to try to identify significant amounts of repurposed spectrum. Because, let's be candid, there isn't just a lot of spectrum sitting around unused. You have to shift it from other uses. The one real value that we expect to come out of this thing is, you know, quite candidly, our spectrum and what we have already proven, through the use over the last 10 years, is we're able to provide these positive governmental services, other things of that nature, without interfering with government users or adjacent spectrum assets. We're kind of the poster child of how you should be able to do it, and we believe now that as you're going about what will probably be a multiyear effort for them to identify a lot of spectrum, what you wanna do is you wanna grab the low-hanging fruit first. If ours is a capability that is proven it doesn't interfere, can use shared spectrum, and also provide broadband capabilities, which we believe we'll be able to show conclusively through our testing, that is an easy, a low-hanging fruit to pick off for the government. It's more the fact that whether or not they were going about a very large program to identify additional spectrum for broadband repurposing, even if that hadn't occurred, we knew that what we were doing would likely receive a positive view at the FCC because it is providing all of these PNT services, and it also can carry broadband, which is desperately needed. From that standpoint, it just leverages or a greater continuity will what the government's wanting to do going forward. Gary, just two other points on that. Can you talk a little bit about maybe what you think the highest and best use is for the spectrum? Then secondly, do you think that's where the most value can be created now? I know there's a lot of different moving parts in the business model. I t sounds like you can both monetize the spectrum and the services at the same time? But what do you think the highest and best use would be for it? Well, I think that, you know, clearly from a, you know, if you just look at it from an economic standpoint, having 8 megahertz of low-band spectrum available for broadband carriage, you know, is massively valuable. I mean, anybody that does any spectrum valuation, you know, understands that. The positive value that we see of going about it the way we're intending to go about it, once again, subject to the integration of the technologies working as we expect them to work and, you know, subject to the testing proving that we can do it, you don't lose all of that resilient PNT government contracts, E911, public safety, protecting critical infrastructure. All of those TAMs and market bases that exist, you're still capturing, but you're also able to capture the basic broadband capability of a 8 megahertz low-band 5G signal. Great. Do you think it's the primary way to create shareholder value at this point? Well, it's probably the quickest way if you look at it because the revenues will grow over time, and you'll see the value as more and more countries move to this, more and more government action takes place to fund resilient PNT services, and we bring on more 911 and other Pinnacle revenues. Those build over time. Obviously, clearly, if we're able to show that we can utilize this for what is a well-known immediate need for broadband capacity, then clearly that is probably a nearer term value enhancer if you're able to do that, say, in the next year or something of that nature. Great. Just maybe last for Chris, or not sure if you can answer it. Can you talk about, you know, the current business plan that you have, how much more funding you'll need to kind of get to free cash flow positive? Thanks. Yeah. This is Chris. I think, you know, again, that falls into the kind of the guidance category. A gain, something else that we've been hesitant to provide. I'd leave it at that for now. Yeah, actually just to address one question, Timothy, you raised about sort of the value. I think in the European Union's report that came out just today, there was a specific call-out towards allocating spectrum for terrestrial PNT services. To Gary's point, the combination of capabilities that we provide or we believe we could provide, would of data carrying and PNT, I think could become a template, as different countries look at PNT capabilities in- Yeah, Ganesh, that's probably a pretty good point. I n some of our prior calls, we've pointed to what the Japanese government is doing with the 5 megahertz allocated to our partner over there, MetCom. We've always said, "We expect, you know, other countries will look for similar approaches." This is the first time now we've gotten very solid, written, formal evidence that the whole EU is looking at the need to have some established spectrum available for terrestrial PNT. B eing candid, we're kind of the partner of choice for people who would want to deploy such a technology and make use of that spectrum, whether we were trying to develop it ourselves, that hasn't been our pattern. We've tended to want to work with a cooperating carrier or a partner like we did in Japan. Certainly, you know, seeing that very overt recommendation from the EU's report on a very important subject, that heightens our view that that could be a quicker process than normally what it takes to get spectrum allocations worldwide. Thanks a lot, guys. Thank you. We go next now to Jaime Perez of R.F. Lafferty. Good day, everybody. My questions have been asked and answered. Thank you. Great, Jaime. Mr. Parsons, it appears we have no further questions this afternoon. I'd like to turn the conference back to you for any closing comments. Great. Thanks very much, and thanks everybody for joining us on the call. I think as we've said for a long time there, we expect there to be indications of forward progress that are sometimes announcements, sometimes acquisitions, sometimes a new customer, and sometimes just something that's happening in the spectrum, or telecom overall, ecosystem that really encourages people to utilize our services or to look at them in a different perspective. That's what we think we're now able to do with spectrum repurposing. I hate to call it spectrum repurposing 'cause we still intend to use our spectrum for resilient PNT, public safety, E911, all of the essential government services that the spectrum was originally licensed for. If in fact we are able to do that while also providing valuable LTE, 5G carriage, we think that that's a significant value enhancer for the company. We think 2023 will be a watershed year for showing progress towards that very milestone objective. With that, thank you very much, and we look forward to speaking to you again on our first quarter call. Thank you, Mr. Parsons. Again, ladies and gentlemen, that does conclude NextNav's Q4 2022 earnings conference call. Again, I'd like to thank you all so much for joining us and wish you all a great remainder of your day. Goodbye.
