Key Business and Financial Updates:

• Financial Performance Overview: Revenue for the period totaled USD 32.5 million, reflecting an 18% decline from USD 39.8 million in the corresponding quarter of 2024, primarily attributable to reduced volumes in certain U.S. Army programs. Gross margin stood at 25.0%, compared to 27.8% in the prior year. The company recorded a net loss of USD 228.6 million, significantly higher than the USD 14.4 million loss in the second quarter of 2024, driven largely by non-cash items including a USD 135.8 million change in derivative liabilities and a USD 70.6 million goodwill impairment charge. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was negative USD 8.5 million, versus negative USD 3.7 million previously, influenced by lower gross margins and increased research and development expenditures. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to USD 21.5 million from USD 23.4 million, due to reduced legal and bonus costs. The backlog as of June 30, 2025, amounted to USD 380 million.
• Balance Sheet and Cash Position: The company's balance sheet demonstrated sequential improvement, with a record cash balance of USD 390.8 million as of June 30, 2025, up substantially from USD 50.1 million at the end of 2024. This enhanced liquidity positions BigBear.ai to pursue accelerated growth initiatives, both organically and through potential acquisitions. Cash flows from financing activities contributed positively, generating USD 288.8 million in the quarter, primarily from proceeds of an at-the-market offering totaling USD 293.4 million, net of transaction costs. Operating activities used USD 3.9 million in cash, while investing activities consumed USD 1.2 million, mainly for capitalized software development. Total assets increased to USD 599.4 million from USD 343.8 million, supported by higher cash equivalents, though goodwill was reduced to USD 48.4 million following the impairment. Liabilities rose modestly to USD 332.8 million, with stockholders' equity turning positive at USD 266.6 million.
• Strategic Developments and Market Opportunities: Kevin McAleenan, CEO of BigBear.ai, emphasized the company's strengthened financial position enabling transformative investments amid emerging opportunities from the "One Big Beautiful Bill," which allocates over USD 170 billion to the Department of Homeland Security and USD 150 billion to the Department of Defense for innovative technologies. These funds align closely with BigBear.ai's expertise in mission-ready AI for national and border security. Internationally, the company forged a key partnership with entities under the IHC umbrella in the UAE to advance AI adoption across various sectors, marking the onset of global expansion. However, disruptions in federal contracts, particularly those supporting U.S. Army data modernization efforts, prompted adjustments to the outlook. Chief Financial Officer Sean Ricker noted that the robust cash reserves will facilitate significant investments previously unattainable.
• Updated Financial Guidance: For the full year 2025, BigBear.ai has revised its revenue projection to a range of USD 125 million to USD 140 million, reflecting impacts from federal contract disruptions and planned growth investments in the latter half of the year. The company has withdrawn its prior Adjusted EBITDA guidance due to uncertainties surrounding certain Army programs and increased spending, with an intent to provide an update later.
