COLUMBIA, Md., Nov. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BBAI) (“BigBear.ai”, “BBAI”, or the “Company”), a leader in AI-powered decision intelligence solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2023 and issued an investor letter that has been posted to the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website.
BigBear.ai CEO Mandy Long said, “Our recent 3Q results bear witness to the transformative journey that we are on. As planned at the beginning of the year, we stayed focused on operational efficiency. It shows, as this is our first quarter of positive cash from operations, net income, and positive adjusted EBITDA. Our announcement of signing a definitive merger agreement to acquire Pangiam sets the stage to establish one of the industry’s most comprehensive Vision AI portfolios, which we believe will make us a breakout leader in one of the fastest growing categories for the application of AI. We believe BigBear.ai’s future is bright.”
Financial Highlights
- Revenue declined 16.4% to $34.0 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $40.7 million for the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the planned wind-down of certain Air Force programs in mid-July. Additionally, our results for the third quarter of 2023 do not include any revenues for Virgin Orbit due to their bankruptcy announcement earlier this year.
- Gross margin of 24.7% in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease from 28.9% in the third quarter of 2022, primarily driven by the elimination of revenue and gross margin from Virgin Orbit as a result of their bankruptcy announcement in the second quarter of 2023.
- Selling general and administrative expenses were $15.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, which represents an 8% decline quarter-over-quarter and a 23% reduction compared to the third quarter of 2022 at $20.2 million. Excluding non-recurring strategic initiatives, transaction expenses, stock-based compensation, and non-cash software capitalization, operating expenses are 21% lower in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022.
- Net income of $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to net loss of $16.1 million for the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily the result of $15.7 million of non-cash income related to the change in fair value of warrants that were issued in 2023.
- Cash provided by operating activities was $6.6 million in the third quarter. The Company’s cash balance as of September 30, 2023 was $32.2 million, an increase of $2.3 million as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Key Business Highlights:
- On November 6, 2023, announced a definitive merger agreement to acquire Pangiam, a leader in Vision AI for the global trade, travel, and digital identity industries. The purchase consideration is approximately $70 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis in an all-stock transaction.
- The combined company will establish one of the industry’s most comprehensive Vision AI portfolios, uniting Pangiam’s facial recognition and advanced biometrics capabilities with BigBear.ai’s computer vision capabilities, positioning the company as a foundational leader in one of the fastest growing categories for the application of AI.
- The proposed acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the holders of a majority of BigBear.ai’s outstanding common shares and receipt of regulatory approval.
- More information about Pangiam and the transaction will be included with the proxy statement that we will file with the SEC in the coming weeks.
- Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) extended and expanded our work on Project AURORA to continue our collaboration to accelerate military planning, as BigBear.ai aims to condense the conventional two-year planning timeframe, presenting comprehensive, resource-backed operational plans in under a month.
- Expanded partnership with Thomas Jefferson University Hospital to enable operational improvements through the use of our FutureFlow RX® Predictive AI platform allowing their hospitals to create ‘digital twin’ scenarios to plan and execute more efficiently and effectively.
- Continued to provide thought leadership in how our country will develop and implement new regulatory and legislative frameworks for AI. BigBear.ai continues to be actively engaged in these conversations, and we have submitted public comment letters to the Executive Office of the President, Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the US Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), and the Library of Congress, Copyright Office.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial information and data contained in this press release is unaudited. Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP in our press release, we also report certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in such company’s financial statements. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered measures of BigBear.ai’s liquidity. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of certain items, as defined in our non-GAAP definitions below, which are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even where similarly titled, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes and therefore should not be used to compare BigBear.ai’s performance to that of other companies. We endeavor to compensate for the limitation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measures and descriptions of the reconciling items and adjustments to derive the non-GAAP financial measures.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and analysts with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management to operate and analyze our business over different periods of time.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for equity-based compensation, employer payroll taxes related to equity-based compensation, net decrease in fair value of derivatives, restructuring charges, non-recurring strategic initiatives, non-recurring integration costs, capital market advisory fees, commercial start-up costs, transaction expenses, and goodwill impairment. Similar excluded expenses may be incurred in future periods when calculating these measures. BigBear.ai believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. BigBear.ai believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends and in comparing BigBear.ai’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.
Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP performance measure which is defined in the accompanying tables and is reconciled to net (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the tables above. The Company does not reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure (or otherwise describe such forward-looking GAAP measure) because it is not able to forecast the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impracticable for the Company to forecast. As a result, no guidance for the Company’s net (loss) income or reconciliation of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA guidance is provided. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially significant impact on its future net (loss) income.
We present reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables above.
