BigBear.ai Announces First Quarter 2024 Results
BigBear.ai closed the acquisition of Pangiam, affirming revenue guidance of $195-$215 million for 2024. Despite revenue decline in Q1 2024, the company continues to focus on operationalizing AI solutions. Financial highlights include a decrease in revenue, gross margin, and a net loss due to various expenses. The company has seen improvements in adjusted EBITDA and SG&A reduction, ending Q1 2024 with a cash balance of $81.4 million and a backlog of $296 million. Momentum in the business includes new contracts and partnerships, positioning BigBear.ai as a leader in critical IT capabilities.
BigBear.ai closed the acquisition of Pangiam, enhancing its capabilities in AI solutions.
The company affirmed revenue guidance of $195-$215 million for 2024, indicating growth opportunities.
The US Army awarded an $8.3 million extension to BigBear.ai, showcasing the company's position as a leader in enterprise IT capabilities.
New contracts with airports and port authorities demonstrate the company's expansion into new markets and scale.
BigBear.ai's inclusion in the DoD's Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace accelerates procurement processes for its technologies.
Revenue decreased by 21.4% in Q1 2024, mainly due to the wind-down of certain programs and contract delays.
Gross margin declined to 21.1% in Q1 2024, impacted by increased equity-based compensation expense and revenue elimination.
The company reported a net loss of $125.1 million for Q1 2024, including various non-cash expenses and restructuring charges.
Despite improvements in adjusted EBITDA and SG&A reduction, the company's financial performance in Q1 2024 was challenging.
The disclosed financial results for BigBear.ai indicate a 21.4% decrease in revenue for the first quarter of 2024 when compared to the same period in the previous year. This contraction stems mainly from the termination of the Air Force EPASS program and the fallout from Virgin Orbit's bankruptcy. The gross margin also saw a decline, which was influenced by a rise in equity-based compensation. This is coupled with a substantial net loss of $125.1 million, exacerbated by a non-cash goodwill impairment and the fluctuation in fair value of warrants. However, it's noteworthy that cash reserves improved significantly, reaching $81.4 million, thanks to warrant exercises and the acquisition of Pangiam.
From an investor's perspective, the negative financial performance metrics might be a concern, with net loss widening significantly. Nevertheless, the company's effort to streamline operations and the addition of Pangiam hint at potential future synergies and cost savings. The backlog of $296 million also offers a cushion of future revenues. The full-year revenue guidance remains unchanged, which may suggest management's confidence in the company's trajectory. Yet, investors should be cautious and monitor the company's ability to convert backlog into revenue and realize the synergies from the Pangiam acquisition.
The acquisition of Pangiam, which specializes in advanced biometrics and facial recognition, has the potential to expand BigBear.ai's portfolio in AI-powered decision intelligence solutions. This strategic move could allow the company to devise integrated offerings for sectors such as National Security and Digital Identity, which are areas of growing importance due to increased global security concerns. The financial implications of this acquisition, however, are yet to be fully realized, as synergies and integration efforts can be complex and time-consuming.
Combining companies can be a double-edged sword; while it comes with the promise of innovation and expanded market reach, it can also bring integration risks and an initial financial strain, as observed with the increased net loss. Investors should seek clarity on how BigBear.ai plans to integrate Pangiam's technologies, leverage their combined capabilities and how they project this acquisition will affect their long-term financial health and market position.
BigBear.ai's designation as an 'Awardable' vendor on the DoD's Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is a significant recognition, as it implies that the company's products meet certain standards and can be procured more rapidly by the Department of Defense. Moreover, the contract wins and agreements for Project Dartmouth and the deployment of biometric-enabled passenger processing applications signal progress in commercializing their AI/ML technologies. Such advancements could translate into improved competitive positioning and revenue streams over time.
As for investors, the tech advancements should be weighed against the current financial performance. Given the company's strategic agreements and the potential for increased government spending in AI and machine learning capabilities, BigBear.ai may be positioning itself for future growth. However, these prospects must be assessed in light of the company's ability to manage costs and improve financial outcomes in the forthcoming quarters.

BigBear.ai’s Pangiam was awarded a contract with a key port authority in
Canada to deploy a biometric-enabled passenger processing application for entry intothe United States . This brings BigBear.ai’s existing Linkware and VeriScan offerings into a new space, with the aim of replicating and scaling across multiple locations. -
BigBear.ai’s Pangiam has signed an agreement with Melbourne Airport in
Australia to trial Project Dartmouth, our AI/ML threat detection capability, to assist officers in detecting prohibited items in carry-on baggage. This is BigBear.ai’s first Project Dartmouth trial inAustralia — an exciting partnership to help inform considerations for deploying such capabilities at scale in the future. - BigBear.ai announced it has been designated as an “Awardable” vendor for the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace (the “Marketplace”). Five of the company’s products, including Sensor, Data and AI Orchestration (ConductorOS), Time-Series Forecasting (VANE), Contested Logistics Planning (AURORA), Maritime Domain Awareness (Arcas), and Publicly Available Data Curation (Observe) have been added to the Marketplace. Achieving ‘Awardable’ on the DoD’s Tradewinds enables the acceleration of the procurement process of these technologies across the DoD.
- BigBear.ai formed a teaming agreement with Spinnaker SCA, a supply chain focused consulting firm, to further bolster consulting services for manufacturing and warehouse operations. By combining BigBear.ai's ProModel® simulation software with Spinnaker SCA's consulting expertise, supply chain, manufacturing and warehousing clients will benefit from strategic guidance, simulation-based validation of changes, and data-driven optimization to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and achieve faster time to value.

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 (benefit) expense 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 litigation, transaction expenses and goodwill impairment.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue.
Recurring SG&A is defined as selling, general and administrative expense further adjusted for equity-based compensation allocated to selling, general and administrative expense, non-recurring strategic integration costs and strategic initiatives, non-recurring litigation, and reserves on Virgin Orbit receivables.
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, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Recurring SG&A as non-GAAP performance measures which are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the tables below. 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 below.
