Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Through its global satellite network, Globalstar, Inc. (“Globalstar” or the “Company”) provides Mobile Satellite Services (“MSS”) including wholesale capacity services and voice and data communications services to retail, business and governmental customers. The Company’s only reportable segment is its MSS business. Thermo Companies, through commonly controlled affiliates (collectively, “Thermo”), is the principal owner and largest stockholder of Globalstar. The Executive Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") controls Thermo. The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); however, management believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented in this Report not misleading. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Globalstar Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”). The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates. The Company evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Globalstar and all its subsidiaries. The Company's consolidated financial statements include results and amounts for the Globalstar SPE (as defined below), which is a variable interest entity further described in Note 2, of which Globalstar is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. In the opinion of management, the information included herein includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period. Reverse Stock Split On February 10, 2025, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split of its common stock at a 1-for-15 ratio. All issued and outstanding common stock, options and warrants to purchase common stock and per share amounts contained in this Report have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the change in capital structure for the periods prior to the completion of the reverse stock split, as applicable. Refer to Note 12: Common Stock for additional information. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which updates qualitative and quantitative disclosures for the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is also permitted. The Company adopted this standard when it became effective on January 1, 2025. We expect that this standard will increase the tax disclosures in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. This ASU requires public companies to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is also permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard when it becomes effective on January 1, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statement disclosures.
