A reading worse than the peer median is a prompt to read the filing, not a conclusion. ![Bar chart of AST SpaceMobile Inc. balance sheet at the end of fiscal 2025: total assets $5.0 billion, total liabilities $2.6 billion, long-term debt $2.2 billion, cash and equivalents $2.3 billion.](https://www.getswoopr.com/images/charts/ast-spacemobile-inc-risks-balance-sheet.webp) *AST SpaceMobile Inc. balance sheet items at the end of fiscal 2025, from the figures in the table above.

The risks AST SpaceMobile Inc. considers material are disclosed in Item 1A of its Form 10-K, most recently [filed March 2, 2026](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1780312/000178031226000006/asts-20251231.htm). Read them with three questions in mind: which risks are specific to this company rather than generic, which have changed since the prior year's filing, and which connect to the figures above (a refinancing risk matters more when interest coverage is thin). ## Where These Numbers Come From Every figure on this page is a value AST SpaceMobile Inc. reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001780312-26-000006 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary. Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is AST SpaceMobile Inc. highly leveraged?
