BigBear.ai Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue grew 2% Year-over-Year in the Second Quarter of 2023 and 9% YTD
Significant U.S. Army Contract Wins from AIMMS & GFIM Phase II Extension
Reiterating FY Guidance of Revenue between $155 million and $170 million
COLUMBIA, MD – August 8, 2023 – BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BBAI) (“BigBear.ai” or the “Company”), a leader in AI-powered decision intelligence solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2023.
BigBear.ai CEO Mandy Long said, “We continue to accomplish our goals in this foundational year for BigBear.ai. Our recent Army Test and Evaluation Command Integrated Mission Management System (AIMMS) win and Global Force Information Management (GFIM) Phase II system extension are evidence that we have momentum in the markets we serve.”
Financial Highlights
•Revenue grew 2.2% to $38.5 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $37.6 million for the second quarter of 2022.
•Gross margin of 23.3% in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease from 25.5% in the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by the elimination of revenue and gross margin from Virgin Orbit due to their bankruptcy announcement in the second quarter of 2023.
•Net loss of $16.9 million for the second quarter of 2023, which includes $3.1 million of non-cash expense related to the change in fair value of warrants that were issued in 2023, and $4.0 million of equity-based compensation expense, compared to a net loss of $56.8 million for the second quarter of 2022 which included $35.3 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges and equity-based compensation expense of $5.1 million.
•Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA* of $(3.2) million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $(7.7) million for the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by reduced operating expenses including a 37% reduction in SG&A expenses compared to second quarter of 2022.
•Ending backlog of $206 million, growing 5% compared to Q1 2023.
New Developments
•U.S. Army AIMMS: An exciting win from the quarter was being selected as the single provider by the U.S. Army to implement Phase 2 of the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) Integrated Mission Management System (AIMMS) in a single award contract worth over $7.7 million dollars over seven months. BigBear.ai was selected to be the single provider for Phase 2 after a competition following

Phase 1. This Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) or prototype contract has the potential to result in a follow-on production, sole-source, contract.
•U.S. Army GFIM OE Extension: We received a 6-month extension from the U.S. Army as the prime contractor for continuing work on the Global Force Information Management (GFIM) Objective Environment (OE) system, in a 6-month contract valued at just over $8.5M. The extension builds on BigBear.ai’s previous work in Phase 1 and Phase 2 and continues to show the strength of our relationship with the U.S. Army. The Government’s current planning approach for GFIM OE is to demonstrate prototypes in two overarching Phases, culminating with a production release.
•Leadership Updates: We continue to attract top talent following the onboarding of Theodore Tanner Jr. as our new Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Tanner’s extensive experience and expertise, most recently serving as CTO and Chief Architect at IBM Watson Health, now Merative, will be instrumental in delivering technology-led solutions for leaders in government and defense, manufacturing and warehouse operations, and healthcare and life sciences. His decades of experience working in AI architecture across some of the world’s largest organizations will only fuel further growth.
•Registered Direct Offering: Successfully completed a registered direct offering of common stock and warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $25M, further solidifying our financial foundation and bolstering our cash position.

| (9) | During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the previously reported Cyber & Engineering business segment. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company reevaluated its operating and reportable segments following an organizational and legal entity restructuring, which allowed the Company to align its operations with how the business will be managed. As a result of this reevaluation, effective for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company determined it that it manages its operations as a single operating and reportable segment. |

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 (loss) before interest expense, income tax 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 increase (decrease) in fair value of derivatives, restructuring charges, non-recurring integration costs, capital market advisory fees, commercial start-up costs, and transaction expenses. 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.
