Headquartered in Sweden, AAC Clyde Space (AAC) is a world leader in nanosatellite end-to-end solutions, subsystems, platforms, services and components, including supply to third parties. It has production and development operations in Sweden, Scotland, the Netherlands and the United States and a start-up in Africa.

AAC has a strong space heritage in small and nanosatellites. Over the next five years, around 2,100 nanosats should be launched as technology development extends the applications for low earth orbit constellations, especially for communications. Its growing capabilities cover three revenue segments: SDaaS, Space Missions and Space Products. AAC aims to become a world leader in commercial small satellites and services from space.

Financials

AAC is at the forefront of the rapidly growing and innovative market for small satellites. It continues to see opportunities in new space to extend its technologies, capabilities and reach. As nanosatellite deployments rise sharply, management expects sales of SEK500m in FY24 and targets revenues of c $250m (SEK2.2bn) by 2030. Of that, space data as a service (SDaaS) revenues should reach c $150m. Following a weaker than expected core Q323 performance (ignoring the sizeable royalty income), and with the order backlog stable at SEK433m rather than rising as we would anticipate to support growth, the FY24 target increasingly looks a stretch. We are reviewing our estimates.
