The increase in Service revenues was driven by engineering services contracts with commercial and government customers and charging network access fees in both the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2025.

Operating expenses for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 were $141.7 million and $398.4 million, respectively. Operating expenses included research and development expenses of $89.4 million and $259.9 million for the quarter and full year, respectively.

Financial Outlook

BETA currently expects full year 2026 revenues to be in the range of $39 million to $43 million and full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of ($305) million to ($395) million.

BETA has not reconciled our forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance because certain items that impact this non-GAAP metric are uncertain or out of BETA's control and cannot be reasonably predicted. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is impacted by the future fair market value of BETA's Class A common stock, BETA's future hiring needs, and other factors, all of which are difficult to predict, subject to frequent change, or not within BETA's control. The actual amount of these expenses during 2026 could materially affect BETA's future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP metric is not available without unreasonable effort.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release and the accompanying earnings call contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding our future financial and operating performance, including our outlook and guidance; our regulatory outlook, progress and timing; our business strategy, plan, objectives, and goals; capital needs and the growth of our growth of our operations, manufacturing capabilities, and supporting infrastructure for aircraft development and deployment; plans and anticipated benefits with respect to our collaborations with third parties, and projected demand for our aircraft, other products, and services.

Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, factors described throughout the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of our prospectus for our IPO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 4, 2025 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as such descriptions may be updated or amended by the factors that will be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in future reports we file with the SEC. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks and uncertainties may emerge that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release and the accompanying earnings call.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release and the accompanying earnings call is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to traditional financial metrics, we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to help us evaluate our business.

We define EBITDA as net loss, adjusted for interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for loss on issuance of convertible preferred stock, stock-based compensation expense, warrant expense, loss on disposal of property and equipment, and IPO readiness costs.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors because they allow for greater transparency into what measures we use in operating our business and measuring our performance and enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where items may vary independent of business performance. These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes and should not be considered as substitutes for or superior to financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude certain expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements and they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by our management about which expenses are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Further, non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized. It may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. In addition, investors are encouraged to review our consolidated financial statements included in our filings with the SEC in their entirety and not rely solely on any single financial measure.

We caution readers that our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the supplemental tables attached to this press release.
