Item 2.02 - Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW; “Redwire” or “the Company”) issued a press release on February 3, 2022, announcing, among other things, preliminary revenue and backlog, a key performance indicator, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The preliminary revenue and backlog information included in Exhibit 99.1 hereto is preliminary, unaudited and subject to completion, reflect management’s current views, and may change as a result of management’s review of results and other information, which may not be currently available. Such preliminary results are subject to the finalization of year-end financial and accounting procedures (which have yet to be performed) and should not be viewed as a substitute for audited results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The actual results may be materially different from the preliminary results. See the factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s final prospectus, dated October 4, 2021, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the same date. We use certain financial measures, including uncontracted and total backlog, to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources which are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and are considered to be Non-GAAP financial performance measures. These Non-GAAP financial performance measures are used to supplement the financial information presented on a GAAP basis and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information under this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information, including Exhibit 99.1, be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
