COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 09, 2022--
BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BBAI) ("BigBear.ai" or the "Company"), a leader in AI-powered analytics and cyber engineering solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2022.
Financial Highlights
-- Revenue of $40.7 million, compared to $40.2 million for the third quarter of 2021 -- Analytics revenue increased $1.7 million, or 8%, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily driven by the award of the U.S. Army Global Force Information Management (GFIM) contract in the third quarter of 2022 -- Gross margin of 29%, compared to 27% for the third quarter of 2021 -- Segment adjusted gross margin of 43% for the Analytics segment, compared to 49% for the third quarter of 2021, driven primarily by contract mix -- Segment adjusted gross margin of 22% for the Cyber & Engineering segment, compared to 21% for the third quarter of 2021 -- Net loss of $(16.1) million, compared to $(3.1) million for the third quarter of 2021, primarily driven by higher public company expenses as well as infrastructure and integration costs -- Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA* of $(3.9) million -- Ending backlog of $288 million -- Ending cash balance of $22 million -- On-track with planned cost savings initiatives expected to drive $20 million of annualized operating expense savings -- Affirmed 2022 financial outlook
Mandy Long, who joined BigBear.ai in October as the Company's CEO, said, "In the third quarter, we made significant progress to improve our financial profile, including 8% revenue growth in our analytics business, with a key $14.8 million sole-source contract award from the U.S. Army to implement the Global Force Information Management (GFIM) system. In addition, our ongoing actions to reduce expenses and cash usage are helping move us to a sustainable growth model. Based on our improved operational efficiency and the continued health of our backlog, we are reaffirming our outlook for 2022."
Third Quarter 2022 vs. Second Quarter 2022 Comparative Financial Highlights
-- Analytics revenue increased $3.7 million, or 20%, primarily driven by the award of the U.S. Army GFIM contract in the third quarter of 2022, as well as increased volume on other Analytics programs -- Gross margins expanded from 25% in the second quarter of 2022 to 29% in the third quarter of 2022, primarily driven by reduced volume on low margin contracts -- Net cash used in operating activities was $6.4 million in the third quarter, compared to $24.5 million in the second quarter, driven primarily by lower operational spending and integration costs, investment contracts, and interest payments
BigBear.ai CFO Julie Peffer said, "In the third quarter, we made substantial progress on our initiatives to reduce expenses, manage our working capital, and significantly increase our operational efficiency, including our previously announced reduction in force, largely focused on non-billable headcount reduction. In the fourth quarter, the effects of rightsizing our cost structure will continue, and we expect to realize additional operational efficiencies.
"From a liquidity perspective, we ended the third quarter with $22 million of cash on our balance sheet, and we are amending our credit facility with Bank of America which will give us access to $25 million of additional liquidity, upon meeting the terms of the agreement. Our improved operational discipline coupled with our stabilized liquidity position will enable us to target and pursue the right investments for sustainable growth," concluded Peffer.
