BigBear.ai Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results; Updates Financial Outlook
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 2025 and issued an investor presentation that has been posted to the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website.
“Our robust balance sheet allows us to make significant transformational investments to shape the future of BigBear.ai. Our capital raising activities this quarter coincide with the tremendous opportunities we see coming from the One Big Beautiful Bill, particularly in the Department of Homeland Security, and several of which are uniquely aligned to our core capabilities. This legislation will bring a generational investment and provides over $170 billion in supplemental funding to the Department of Homeland Security, and $150 billion to the Department of Defense for disruptive defense technology. This is not incremental funding for innovation – this is a transformative level of investment. As a Mission Ready AI company with a national and border security focus, it’s directly in our lane,” said Kevin McAleenan, CEO of BigBear.ai.
“Beyond the opportunities that we’re pursuing in the U.S., this quarter, we signed a transformative partnership with leading companies in the UAE under the IHC umbrella focused on accelerating the development and adoption of AI across several domains and applications. This is just the beginning of our international expansion and demonstrates the need for BigBear.ai’s technology and solutions across the globe,” he continued.
“While we are very optimistic with these significant investments and growth opportunities, we have also seen disruptions in federal contracts from efficiency efforts this quarter, most notably in programs that support the U.S. Army, as they seek to consolidate and modernize their data architecture and in turn, we have adjusted our full-year guidance this quarter to reflect these disruptions,” he concluded.
“Our record cash balance will enable us to make significant investments, both organically and inorganically, in an order of magnitude that was not possible before,” said Sean Ricker, CFO of BigBear.ai.
Financial Highlights
- Revenue decreased 18% to $32.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $39.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to lower volume on certain Army programs.
- Gross margin was 25.0% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 27.8% in the second quarter of 2024.
- Net loss in the second quarter of 2025 was $228.6 million, compared to a net loss of $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by non-cash changes in derivative liabilities of $135.8 million associated with changes in the fair value of the convertible features of the 2029 Notes and warrants, as well as a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $70.6 million.
- Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA* of $(8.5) million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $(3.7) million for the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by decreased gross margin as well as an increase in research and development expenses.
- SG&A of $21.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $23.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower legal expenses ($1.7 million), and lower bonus expense ($1.1 million).
- Backlog of $380 million as of June 30, 2025.
Financial Outlook
For the year-ended December 31, 2025, the Company now projects:
- Revenue between $125 million and $140 million
Due to uncertainty on certain Army programs as well as new anticipated growth investment spending in the second half of the year, at this time, the Company is withdrawing its previously provided Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year-ended December 31, 2025. The Company expects to provide updated Adjusted EBITDA guidance at a later date. The above information on financial outlook, and other sections of this release contain forward-looking statements, which are based on the Company’s current expectations. Actual results may differ materially from those projected. It is the Company’s practice not to incorporate adjustments into its financial outlook for proposed acquisitions, divestitures, changes in law, or new accounting standards until such items have been consummated, enacted, or adopted, as the case may be. For additional factors that may impact the Company’s actual results, refer to the “Forward-Looking Statements” section in this release.

*EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section in this press release for additional information and reconciliations. |

The change in fair value of derivatives during the three months ended June 30, 2025 relates to the remeasurement of the 2025 warrants, IPO warrants and the 2026 and 2029 Notes Conversion Options derivative liabilities. The change during the six months ended June 30, 2025, relates to the $14.0 million loss recorded upon the exercise of the 2024 RDO and 2024 PIPE Warrants (the “2024 Warrants”) and issuance of the warrants in 2025 (the “2025 Warrants”) in connection with the warrant exercise agreements entered into on February 5, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there was loss related to a mark-to-market adjustment of $59.9M adjustment for the debt to equity conversions during the period. There was an offsetting gain related to the fair market value adjustment on the 2025 warrants and the private warrants of $2.6 million. Additionally, there was an loss of $7.0 million fair market value adjustment of the 2026 and 2029 Notes Conversion Option, during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The decrease in fair value of derivatives during the three months ended June 30, 2024 relates to remeasurement of the 2024 Warrants and IPO Warrant’s fair value. The increase in fair value of derivatives during the six months ended June 30, 2024, relates to the $42.3 million loss recorded upon the exercise of the 2023 RDO and 2023 PIPE Warrants (the “2023 Warrants”) in connection with the warrant exercise agreements entered into on February 27, 2024 and March 4, 2024. This loss was offset by gains of $10.6 million, net of cash proceeds received, related to the issuance of warrants in 2024 (the “2024 Warrants”). In addition, an $18.3 million reduction in fair value was recorded on the 2024 Warrants issued in connection with the warrant exercise agreements as the fair value decreased from the issue date to quarter end. |

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. 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 current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us and should not be relied upon as representing BigBear’s assessment as of any date subsequent to the date of this release. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. 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, including as a result of events such as war, incidents of terrorism, natural disasters, and public health concerns or epidemics; changes in government programs or applicable requirements; budgetary constraints, including any potential constraints as a result of recent or future federal government layoffs, 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, including government shutdowns or the ability of the U.S. federal government to unilaterally cancel a contract with or without cause, and more specifically, the potential impact of the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization on government spending and terminating contracts for convenience; the failure of contracts comprising backlog to result in revenue due to changes in funding, terminations for convenience, or option periods going unexercised; the impact of tariffs or other restrictive trade measures; implementation of spending limits or changes in budgetary constraints; 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 realize the benefits of the strategic partnerships; 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 delays or changes in the government appropriations or procurement processes; our ability to remediate a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting; risks regarding the market and our customers accepting and adopting our products, including future new product offerings; the high degree of uncertainty of the level of demand for, and market utilization of, our solutions and products; our ability to successfully execute and realize the benefits of joint ventures, channel sales relationships, partnerships, strategic alliances, subcontracting opportunities, customer contracts and other commercial agreements to which we are a party; 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 those projected by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that we presently do not know or that we currently believe are immaterial which could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the 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 release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our assessments to change. However, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
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, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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, interest income, income tax expense (benefit) and 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 in fair value of derivatives, restructuring charges, non-recurring strategic initiatives, non-recurring integration costs, non-recurring litigation, transaction expenses, goodwill impairment, and loss on extinguishment of debt.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue.
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, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as non-GAAP performance measures which are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the tables included in this release. 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 income (loss).
We present reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables included in this release.

I have been encountering some interesting news about how the AI industry is progressing. It feels like a slowdown in this space is definitely on the horizon, if it hasn’t already started. (Not being an economist, I won’t say bubble, but there are lots of opinions out there.) GPT-5 came out last month and disappointed everyone, apparently even OpenAI executives. Meta made a very sudden pivot and is reorganizing its entire AI function, ceasing all hiring, immediately after putting apparently unlimited funds into recruiting and wooing talent in the space. Microsoft appears to be slowing their investment in AI hardware (paywall).
This isn’t to say that any of the major players are going to stop investing in AI, of course. The technology isn’t demonstrating spectacular results or approaching anything even remotely like AGI, which many analysts and writers (including me) had predicted it wouldn’t, but there’s still a level of utilization among businesses and individuals that is persisting, so there’s some incentive to keep pushing forward.
The 5% Success Rate
In this vein, I read the new report from MIT about AI in business with great interest this week. I recommend it to anyone who’s looking for actual information about how AI adoption is going from regular workers as well as the C-suite. The report has some headline takeaways, including an assertion that only 5% of AI initiatives in the business setting generate meaningful value, which I can certainly believe. (Also, AI is not actually taking people’s jobs in most industries, and in several industries AI isn’t having much of an impact at all.) A lot of businesses, it seems, have dived into adopting AI without having a strategic plan for what it’s supposed to do, and how that adoption will actually help them achieve their objectives.
I see this a lot, actually — executives who are significantly separated from the day to day work of their organization being gripped by FOMO about AI, deciding AI must become part of their business, but not stepping back and considering how this fits in with the business they already have and the work they already do.
Screwdriver or Magic Wand?
Regular readers will know I’m not arguing AI can’t or shouldn’t be used when it can serve a purpose, of course. Far from it! I build AI-based solutions to business problems at my own organization every day. However, I firmly believe AI is a tool, not magic. It gives us ways to do tasks that are infeasible for human workers and can accelerate the speed of tasks we would otherwise have to do manually. It can make information clearer and help us better understand lengthy documents and texts.
What it doesn’t do, however, is make business success by itself. In order to be part of the 5% and not the 95%, any application of AI needs to be founded on strategic thinking and planning, and most importantly clear-eyed expectations about what AI is capable of and what it isn’t. Small projects that improve particular processes can have huge returns, without having to bet on a massive upheaval or “revolutionizing” of the business, even though they aren’t as glamorous or headline-producing as the hype. The MIT report discusses how vast numbers of projects start as pilots or experimentation but don’t actually come to fruition in production, and I would argue that a lot of this is because either the planning or the clear-eyed expectations were not present.
The authors spend a significant amount of time noting that many AI tools are regarded as inflexible and/or incompatible with existing processes, resulting in failure to adopt among the rank and file. If you build or buy an AI solution that can’t work with your business as it exists today, you’re throwing away your money. Either the solution should have been designed with your business in mind and it wasn’t, meaning a failure of strategic planning, or it can’t be flexible or compatible in the way you need, and AI simply wasn’t the right solution in the first place.
Trading Security for Versatility
On the subject of flexibility, I had an additional thought as I was reading. The MIT authors emphasize that the internal tools that companies offer their teams often “don’t work” in one way or another, but but in reality a lot of the rigidity and limits placed on in-house LLM tools are because of safety and risk prevention. Developers don’t built non-functional tools on purpose, but they have limitations and requirements to comply with. In short, there’s a tradeoff here we can’t avoid: When your LLM is extremely open and has few or no guardrails, it’s going to feel like it lets the user do more, or will answer more questions, because it does just that. But it does that at a significant possible cost, potentially liability, giving false or inappropriate information, or worse.
Of course, regular users are likely not thinking about this angle when they pull up the ChatGPT app on their phone with their personal account during the work day, they’re just trying to get their jobs done. InfoSec communities are rightly alarmed by this kind of thing, which some circles are calling “Shadow AI” instead of shadow IT. The risks from this behavior can be catastrophic — proprietary company data being handed over to an AI solution freely, without oversight, to say nothing of how the output may be used in the company. This problem is really, really hard to solve. Employee education, at all levels of the organization, is an obvious step, but some degree of this shadow AI is likely to persist, and security teams are struggling with this as we speak.
Conclusion
I think this leaves us in an interesting moment. I believe the winners in the AI rat race are going to be those who were thoughtful and careful, applying AI solutions conservatively, and not trying to upturn their model of success that’s worked up to now to chase a new shiny thing. A slow and steady approach can help hedge against risks, including customer backlash against AI, as well as many others.
Before I close, I just want to remind everyone that these attempts to build the equivalent of a palace when a condo would do fine have tangible consequences. We know that Elon Musk is polluting the Memphis suburbs with impunity by running illegal gas generator powered data centers. Data centers are taking up double-digit percentages of all power generated in some US states. Water supplies are being exhausted or polluted by these same data centers that serve AI applications to users. Let’s remember that the choices we make are not abstract, and be conscientious about when we use AI and why. The 95% of failed AI projects weren’t just expensive in terms of time and money spent by businesses — they cost us all something.

Shares of fashion retailer American Eagle Outfitter have jumped after the company said that its tie-ups with celebrities Sydney Sweeney and Travis Kelce are expected to drive strong sales between July and September.
The US firm’s stocks surged 25% in late trading on Wednesday as American Eagle boss Jay Schottenstein said its second-quarter performance “exceeded expectations“, boosted by the success of its ad campaigns.
American Eagle made headlines with its divisive “Great Jeans” ad for its denim line featuring Sweeney, sparking a debate over race and beauty standards.
The firm also ran a clothing series with athlete Kelce, days after news broke of his engagement to popstar Taylor Swift.
The fall season is off to a positive start, said Mr Schottenstein.
“Fuelled by stronger product offerings and the success of recent marketing campaigns with Sydney Sweeney and Travis Kelce, we have seen an uptick in customer awareness, engagement and comparable sales.”
The Emmy-nominated actress, of Euphoria fame, appears in a jeans advertisement where she says: “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour. My jeans are blue.”
The commercial drew intrigue and offence. American Eagle has defended the advert, saying it is referring only to the company’s denim jeans.
The controversy even made it to the White House, with President Donald Trump chiming in to support the actress.
“Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there,” he wrote in a Truth Social post on Monday. “Go get ’em Sydney!”
This MorningAs a former police detective, I’ve attended many car accidents but this summer, for the first time, I was in a head-on collision with another car myself.
Being directly involved in one of the more than 900 car accidents that happen in the UK every day gave me a different perspective.
The woman in the other car, in her early seventies, had a medical episode while driving and swerved straight into my lane and hit me.
At the time, I didn’t know any of that – I just remember a huge bang and then everything felt like a blur.
The next thing I knew, two men were at the side of the car trying to get me out. I couldn’t move. I was taken to the hospital for scans but amazingly, I got away with cuts and bruises.
I was very lucky, and the witnesses at the scene were so important because without them, I wouldn’t have understood what had actually happened.
Here are some of the key things I’ve now learnt about what to do in the immediate aftermath of an accident.
Rebecca Mason1. Be careful what you say
Be mindful of what you say at the scene – both to the other driver and to people around you.
It might feel natural to apologise, even if it’s not your fault, but saying “I’m sorry” can sometimes be taken as an admission of guilt.
2. Stop, check for injuries and call 999
Rebecca MasonImmediately after an accident, stop your car and turn the engine off – you’re actually committing an offence if you don’t stop after a collision. Then check yourself and your passengers for injuries.
If the cars involved can still move, and the road is clear, try to get your vehicle to a safe place nearby and switch on your hazard lights. If that’s not possible, leave it where it is and stand well back from the traffic.
Call 999 if someone is injured, if the other party drives away or if someone is causing a road block.
3. Exchange contact details
Make sure you exchange details with the other driver. Take down their name, address, contact details and insurance information.
You can also gather contact details from witnesses, as their statements can be critical later.
It’s important to inform your insurer as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours.
4. Take lots of pictures
Rebecca MasonIt’s always a good idea to record as much evidence as possible, even if it’s clearly the other party’s fault.
Capture photos of the damage and entire scene.
Stand at a distance to show the full layout, including the position of cars, road signs, weather, skid marks and surroundings.
Also look for CCTV on nearby buildings, shops, or public roads that may have captured the incident.
5. Make notes
Making as many notes as possible is helpful to remember exactly what happened.
Some of the vital details to get down are the time and date of the crash, as well as the registration, make, model and colour of all vehicles involved.
Write down any injuries you or other passengers have sustained.
Anything else you remember such as direction of travel, road name, your speed and any unusual behaviour can also be helpful.
6. Gather dashcam footage
My final piece of advice relates to dashcams, which are incredibly useful.
They provide clear, time-stamped video evidence of what happened in an accident, which can quickly resolve disputes with insurers or the police.
They can also capture dangerous driving or road conditions, helping to protect you from false claims.
