COLUMBIA, MD – March 13, 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.
BigBear.ai CEO Mandy Long said, “Since I joined BigBear.ai in October 2022, we completed a full portfolio assessment, reduced our cost structure, recalibrated the business, and are focused on executing against our strategic plan. In the fourth quarter, we continued our mission of delivering clarity for the world’s most complex decisions with BigBear.ai’s advanced AI capabilities. This core strength, coupled with the actions we took to strengthen our financial position, enabled us to deliver on our 2022 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA targets, despite continued macroeconomic uncertainty. We are building momentum and positioning ourselves as a strong competitor for larger prime contracts.”
Long continued, “With our AI-powered decision intelligence solutions and more efficient operating structure, we are positioned to grow our footprint in key market categories – including global supply chains & logistics, autonomous systems, and cyber – and capitalize on our differentiators and the growing momentum in the field of artificial intelligence. We are focused on driving meaningful, sustainable long-term growth.”
Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights
- Revenue increased by 21% to $40.4 million, compared to $33.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily driven by increased volume from key program wins in 2022, including the Global Force Information Management (GFIM) Phase 2 award from the U.S. Army
- Analytics revenue of $23.1 million increased by $6.5 million, or 39%, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily driven by certain programs focused on supply chain optimization
- Gross margin of 29%, compared to 11% for the fourth quarter of 2021
- Segment adjusted gross margin of 47% for the Analytics segment, compared to 34% for the fourth quarter of 2021, driven by follow-on production awards won as a result of investments in lower margin prototype contracts made in the fourth quarter of 2021
- Net loss of $29.9 million, primarily a result of a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $18.3 million in our Analytics segment, compared to a net loss of $114.8 million in the same period of 2021, primarily driven by $60.5 million of stock-based compensation expense that was recognized in connection with our merger transaction that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2021
- Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA* of $(2.5) million, including the impact of restructuring and cost savings actions completed in September 2022. This reflects continued improvement against non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $(7.7) million and $(3.9) million in the second and third quarters of 2022, respectively
- Net cash used in operating activities was $(10.5) million, compared to $(6.4) million in the third quarter of 2022, driven primarily by the timing of our semi-annual $6.0 million interest payment in December and start-up costs incurred in advance of a contract that was awarded in the first quarter of 2023
- Ending backlog of $222 million
BigBear.ai CFO Julie Peffer said, “In the fourth quarter, we continued to realize benefits from our cost savings initiatives, and our revenue growth was driven by our higher margin Analytics segment which had a positive impact on profitability. Looking ahead, we anticipate substantially lower cash burn, and we believe our improved liquidity position, bolstered by a $25 million private placement that we closed in the first quarter of 2023, enables us to target growth investments judiciously. We remain committed to cost discipline and operational efficiency, and we are well positioned to deliver sustainable revenue growth in 2023.”
Financial Outlook
The following information 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. For additional factors that may impact the Company’s actual results, refer to the “Forward-Looking Statements” section in this release.
For the year-ended December 31, 2023, the Company projects:
- Revenue between $155 million and $170 million
- Single Digit Negative Adjusted EBITDA*, in millions
Internal Controls
In connection with conducting an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, management identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting related to the combination of inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective IT General Controls. As a result, the Company expects to report a material weakness in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company believes that this will not result in any changes to the financial results presented in this release or otherwise have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
The Company expects the remediation work to be completed this year.

(1) The (decrease) increase in fair value of derivatives primarily relates to the changes in the fair value of certain Forward Share Purchase Agreements (FPAs) that were entered into prior to the closing of the Business Combination and were fully settled during the first quarter of 2022, as well as changes in the fair value of private warrants.
(2) In the third and fourth quarters of 2022, the Company incurred employee separation costs associated with a strategic review of the Company’s capacity and future projections to better align the organization and cost structure and improve the affordability of its products and services. In addition, restructuring charges include an impairment of the right-of-use assets associated with certain underutilized real estate leases that we vacated during the fourth quarter.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “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 BigBear.ai’s 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 BigBear.ai’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by you or any other investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. 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; 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. There may be additional risks that BigBear.ai presently does not know or that BigBear.ai currently believes are immaterial which could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect BigBear.ai’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this release. BigBear.ai anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause BigBear.ai’s assessments to change. However, while BigBear.ai may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, BigBear.ai specifically disclaims 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 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 (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for equity-based compensation, net (decrease) increase 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, 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.
