Exhibit 99.1
Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation Announces First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Announced acquisition of RE2, Inc.
Ended the first quarter with $199 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents
Initial production of commercial units of Guardian® XO® industrial exoskeleton and Guardian®XTTM teleoperated dexterous robotic system still expected to commence by the end of 2022
SALT LAKE CITY — May 11, 2022 — Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation (“Sarcos”) (NASDAQ: STRC and STRCW), a leader in the development of highly dexterous robotic systems that augment humans to enhance productivity and safety, today announced financial results for the quarter ending March 31, 2022.
Recent highlights include:
“Our most recent key development was the announcement of our acquisition of RE2,” said Kiva Allgood, President and CEO, Sarcos. “A second development location in Pittsburgh, one of the nation’s leading robotics centers, as well as the addition of RE2’s world class engineering team will allow us to meet the needs of more customers and offer solutions to a wider range of use cases. The combination of RE2 and Sarcos is great news for our employees, partners, customers, and stockholders” said Allgood.
Financial results
Total revenue was $0.7 million in the first quarter, a decline from $1.8 million during the same period in 2021, driven by a focus on projects aligned with the company’s commercialization efforts and the timing of work efforts on different projects.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter were $26.4 million, compared to first quarter 2021 operating expenses of $7.0 million. 55% of this increase was related to higher stock-based compensation expense. Other general and administrative expenses also increased, primarily as a result of expenses related to public company compliance costs and expenses related to the acquisition of RE2.
Research and development expenses were higher compared to the prior year period due to increased headcount and overhead resulting from investments to develop and commercialize our Guardian XO industrial exoskeleton and Guardian XT teleoperated dexterous robotic system. These expenditures were focused on the recruitment of new team members, particularly in engineering and supply chain, and investments in manufacturing capabilities.
The first quarter 2022 net loss was $19.2 million, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million in the same period of the prior year, mainly due to the increase in stock-based compensation expense and the increase in other general and administrative and research and development expenses discussed previously.
Excluding certain items, first quarter non-GAAP net loss was $13.3 million or ($0.10) non-GAAP net loss per diluted share compared to first quarter 2021 non-GAAP net loss of $4.7 million or ($0.05) non-GAAP net loss per diluted share.
Non-GAAP net loss excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense, changes in the value of our warrant liability, and certain acquisition costs. A reconciliation of net loss to non-GAAP net loss is included at the end of this release.
Sarcos ended the quarter with $199 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet. The discussion in this press release regarding Sarcos’ results of operation for the three months ended March 31, 2022, does not include the financial results of RE2, as Sarcos had not acquired RE2 as of March 31, 2022.
Development outlook and financial guidance
In line with previous guidance, Sarcos continues to expect to commence initial production of commercial units of its Guardian XO industrial exoskeleton and Guardian XT robotic system by the end of 2022 for delivery to customers early in 2023.
Several demonstrations of the Guardian XT robot Beta units to partners and customers have taken place in Sarcos’ facility since the start of the year and the company continues to expect that Guardian XT robot Beta units will be placed with customers for field tests in mid-2022.
As previously announced, functionality testing of key elements of the first Beta Guardian XO industrial exoskeleton is under way and the company continues to expect that Guardian XO robot Beta units will be available for testing in the second half of 2022.
Excluding the impact of the RE2 acquisition, Sarcos continues to believe that its monthly cash used in operating activities and purchases of property and equipment, will average $5.5 million for 2022. In addition, Sarcos continues to estimate a cash impact for 2022 averaging approximately $1 million a month from the acquisition of common stock for tax withholding obligations which Sarcos does not currently expect to continue in 2023. As a result, Sarcos believes it will have a total estimated monthly average use of cash, or cash burn, of approximately $6.5 million in 2022 (excluding the impact of the RE2 acquisition).
Due to uncertainty around availability and lead-times, Sarcos has decided to begin sourcing certain materials and components required for the manufacture of its commercial units in 2023. These purchases will not impact the company’s operating expenses for 2022 but are expected to impact the 2022 year-end cash total by up to $3 million.
Sarcos is still assessing the impact of the acquisition of RE2 on company earnings and cash burn and the guidance discussed above does not include any expectations regarding RE2. Sarcos expects to provide guidance for the combined company on future earnings calls. However, the company continues to believe that the acquisition of RE2 will not materially impact the combined company’s cash burn in the near term.
Webcast
Sarcos will hold a conference call to discuss the first quarter 2022 financial results, along with management’s business outlook, at 5:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, May 11, 2022. Interested investors can access the webcast at investor.sarcos.com under the events section. A replay will also be available at investor.sarcos.com for one month after the call.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have presented in this release non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, each of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
We define non-GAAP net loss as our GAAP measured net loss excluding the impacts of stock-based compensation expense, gain on forgiveness of notes payable, gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative instruments and warrant liabilities, expenses related to a business combination and other non-recurring non-operating expenses. We define non-GAAP net loss per share as non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted average outstanding shares.
The most directly comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP net loss is net loss. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP net loss per share is net loss per share. We believe excluding the impact of the previously listed items in calculating non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance. We monitor, and have presented in this release, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share because they are each a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and to establish budgets. We believe non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we include in net loss. Accordingly, we believe non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share provide useful information to investors, analysts and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance.
Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share rather than net loss and net loss per share, which is for each the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculations of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share when they report their operating results, limiting the usefulness of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share for comparative purposes.
In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share as tools for comparison.
The following table reconciles non-GAAP net loss to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (in thousands, except share and per share data):
