MUNICH, June 20, 2024 - Mynaric (NASDAQ: MYNA) (FRA: M0YN), a leading
provider of industrialized, cost-effective and scalable laser communications
products, today announces preliminary unaudited results for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2023.

"2023 marked a milestone year for Mynaric as we ended the year with record
backlog of optical terminals, were awarded business with many marquee
customers and prepared for serial production," said Mustafa Veziroglu, CEO
of Mynaric. "In the first quarter of 2024, we completed our first CONDOR Mk3
shipment marking another significant milestone for the company."

Key 2023 and 2024 Highlights

  * Optical Communications Terminal Backlog at December 31, 2023 of 794
    units (256 units as of December 31, 2022) and 829 as of June 20, 2024


  * Cash in from Customer Contracts of EUR 49.2million in 2023 (EUR 18.3
    million as of December 31, 2022)


  * Multiple wins with key customers such as Northrop Grumman, York Space
    Systems and Loft Federal for CONDOR Mk3 terminals, key contract with
    DARPA and the German government for multiple projects and a contract
    with commercial Japan-based constellation


* Initial CONDOR Mk3 shipment achieved at the end of Q1 2024.

  * In April 2024, secured additional US$ 20 million deferred draw term loan
    facility from primary lender to support working capital


Outlook

Mynaric is providing the following key performance indicators outlook for
2024:

In Euro millions and actual terminal units

     Revenue                                    EUR50 - EUR70
     Operating Loss                             (EUR40) - (EUR30)
     Optical Communications Terminal Backlog    800 - 1,000
     Cash in from Customer Contracts            EUR65 - EUR100

For the fiscal year 2024, our revenue outlook is driven by shipments of
CONDOR Mk3 units to multiple customers. This outlook assumes we are able to
ramp to our current production plans. This outlook remains at the lower end
of the most recent published analyst estimates for 2024 (for which the
arithmetic average is approximately EUR65 million).

We expect our operating loss for the fiscal year 2024 to decrease
significantly from last year's level due to higher revenue levels. This
outlook remains in-line with the most recent published analyst estimates for
2024 (for which the arithmetic average is approximately -EUR36 million).

For the fiscal year 2024, our optical communications terminal shipments
backlog outlook reflects expected new wins in the government and commercial
sectors more than offsetting our projected shipments for 2024.

For the fiscal year 2024, our cash-in from customer contracts outlook
reflects both cash-in from terminal shipments as well as customer
pre-payments for new business wins.

The outlook is based on the current projected production ramp and current
liquidity projection. Should Mynaric experience either a pushout in its
production schedule, fail to secure new orders as planned or incur delays in
securing new orders from customers, there is a high likelihood the company
could need to raise additional capital. Mynaric is also considering pursuing
multiple alternative options in order to secure its cash needs and bolster
its long-term success.

Webcast details

Mynaric has scheduled a webcast to discuss its preliminary full-year 2023
financial results and 2024 outlook to be held today, June 20, 2024, at 12:00

Veziroglu, and CFO, Stefan Berndt-von Bülow.
