These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our industry, future events, and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified herein, and on the current expectations of our management and are not predictions of actual performance.

Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond our control. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those relating to: changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the uncertainty of projected financial information; delays caused by factors outside of our control, including changes in fiscal or contracting policies or decreases in available government funding; changes in government programs or applicable requirements; budgetary constraints, including automatic reductions as a result of “sequestration” or similar measures and constraints imposed by any lapses in appropriations for the federal government or certain of its departments and agencies; influence by, or competition from, third parties with respect to pending, new, or existing contracts with government customers; changes in our ability to successfully compete for and receive task orders and generate revenue under Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts; our ability to pursue opportunities through mergers and acquisitions; our ability to realize the benefits of the strategic partnerships; failure to consummate the proposed transactions; failure to make or take any filing or other action required to consummate the proposed transactions in a timely matter or at all; failure to obtain applicable regulatory or shareholder approvals in a timely manner or otherwise; failure to satisfy other closing conditions to the proposed transactions; the potential impact of announcement or consummation of the proposed transactions on relationships with third parties, including clients, employees and competitors; risks that the new businesses will not be integrated successfully or that the combined companies will not realize estimated cost savings; failure to realize anticipated benefits of the combined operations; potential litigation relating to the proposed transactions and disruptions from the proposed transactions that could harm BBAI’s or Pangiam’s respective businesses; potential delays or changes in the government appropriations or procurement processes, including as a result of events such as war, incidents of terrorism, natural disasters, and public health concerns or epidemics, such as the coronavirus outbreak; the identified material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting (including the timeline to remediate the material weakness); increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays caused by other factors outside of our control, such as performance failures of our subcontractors; the rollout of the business and the timing of expected business milestones; the effects of competition on our future business; our ability to obtain and access financing in the future; and those factors discussed in the Company’s reports and other documents filed with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors.” If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

In addition, forward-looking statements reflect our expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this presentation. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our assessments to change. However, we specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Non-GAAP Financial Information This presentation includes financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Margin and Recurring Operating Expenses. 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. 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. 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. 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. In addition, certain 2020 financial information represents combined predecessor and successor information. 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, loss on extinguishment of debt, transaction bonuses, capital market advisory fees, termination of legacy benefits, management fees, non-recurring integration costs and strategic initiatives, commercial start-up costs, transaction expenses and goodwill impairment. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue. Recurring Operating Expenses is defined as total operating expense as adjusted for equity-based compensation expense in selling, general and administrative, equity-based compensation expense in research and development, restructuring charges, capital market advisory fees, non-recurring integration costs and strategic initiatives, accounts receivable reserves related to Virgin Orbit, transaction expenses and goodwill impairment.

Letter from the CEO Investors, Customers, and Employees – As I mark my one-year anniversary as the CEO of BigBear.ai, I find myself reflecting on the past, appreciating the present, and envisioning the future of our great company. Turning a company around is never simple. It requires commitment, innovation, and an unwavering belief in the potential of what's possible. Over the past twelve months, these principles have guided our actions and decisions. These principles also allowed us to persevere in the face of real challenges, some known and others unforeseen. We are delivering on our commitment to stockholders to stabilize BigBear.ai this year and position the company for future growth. At BigBear.ai we have always envisioned a world empowered by decision intelligence. That vision has never been more important, with today’s geopolitical environment making timely, efficient and effective decision-making essential to the safety of everyone on our planet. Our mission is, and has always been, to use our technology to deliver clarity for the world’s most complex decisions, and we see more and more examples of how our solutions are delivering on that vision every day. Our recent 3Q results bear witness to this transformative journey. We see continued positive momentum in our overall operating posture, a harbinger of corporate health and long-term growth. 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. While revenue declined 16.4% compared to the same quarter last year, we have previously communicated that our revenues can be lumpy depending on when contracts complete, or new contracts are awarded. As shared last quarter, we had certain Air Force programs that were planned to wind-down in July. Additionally, our Q3 results do not include any revenues for Virgin Orbit due to their bankruptcy announcement earlier this year. While we have seen some delays in new contract awards, we are anticipating revenue growth with our Army customer in Q4 as well as expansion with several other customers. As such, we’ve reaffirmed our 2023 guidance in our earnings release for the third quarter of 2023. Another exciting strategic milestone for BigBear.ai was announced yesterday morning with our signing of a definitive merger agreement to acquire Pangiam for approximately $70M on a cash- free and debt-free basis, paid 100% in common stock of BigBear.ai, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments, which values the deal at a multiple of approximately 1.8x estimated FY23 revenue. 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. Pangiam was established in 2020 with a focus on the global trade, travel, and digital identity industries, and in those few short years, has grown into an organization that is projected to post revenues close to $40M for FY23 with significant contract wins in the Department of Homeland Security and the private sector. These estimates are based on current unaudited financials. We believe this acquisition will not only accelerate BigBear.ai’s transition to a software company but also enables both companies to realize greater economies of scale as we integrate. The proposed acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions, including BigBear.ai stockholder approval 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. Page 1


 
As we look to the future, we find ourselves in the beginning phases of a global AI arms race. We believe this race is not about who can develop advanced artificial intelligence capabilities and technologies most quickly in a controlled environment; this race is about which companies can achieve first-to-market advantage by bringing AI solutions to market that deliver tangible, high- business value benefit in real, imperfect operating environments. Those companies will be among the biggest winners. From this vantage, BigBear.ai is playing a pivotal role in determining how AI’s robust capabilities will be harnessed in complex mission-based operating environments and multi-national corporations. A part of this role is participating in how our country will develop and implement new regulatory and legislative frameworks for AI. BigBear.ai continues to be a thought leader in these conversations, and we have submitted multiple public comment letters on the topic. Going forward, our strategic decisions, investments, and innovations will continue to be focused on ensuring that we remain a leader in this pursuit. As we look towards closing 2023 strong and starting 2024 even stronger, our mindset remains one of continuous improvement. As always, we’re staying focused on our mission to deliver clarity for the world's most complex decisions and using that as the driving force behind everything we do. In closing, I express profound gratitude to our stockholders. With their ongoing support, our momentum is growing and together we're shaping a very bright future for BigBear.ai. Warm regards, Mandy Long CEO, BigBear.ai Page 2 Letter from the CEO
