To support our up-market expansion and evolving customer needs, we recently launched B2 Overdrive, our premium-priced, ultra high-throughput performance cloud storage solution, designed to meet the demands of data-intensive workloads including AI and machine-learning training, large-scale analytics, high-performance computing, and media processing. We also introduced a suite of enterprise cyber security features including AI-powered anomaly alerts, mandatory multifactor authentication, bucket access logging, and Enterprise Web Console which streamlines roles-based administrative control in complex environments to help with cybersecurity and account management. These launches expand our addressable market among enterprise and AI-driven customers and lay the groundwork for further innovation to drive differentiated value for these customers.
Current report
We are committed to continued investment in capital and research and development activities to meet the performance requirements of modern enterprise and AI workloads. In April 2025, we launched B2 Overdrive, a premium priced high-performance cloud storage solution for data-intensive workloads such as AI and machine-learning training, high-performance computing, large-scale analytics, and media processing. In May 2025, we released the Enterprise Web Console for B2 Cloud Storage, which streamlines role-based administration in complex enterprise environments. These launches build on our up-market go-to-market transformation and are expected to broaden our addressable market, deepen cross-sell and upsell potential, and position us to capture incremental growth in enterprise and AI-driven customers. To support these new offerings and our up-market strategy, we expect capital expenditures to increase in the coming quarters.

Debt
Current report
On June 4, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Citizens Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”), establishing a senior secured revolving credit facility with a total capacity of $20.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) to be used for general corporate purposes and working capital needs. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a sub-limit of up to $3.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on June 4, 2027, at which point all obligations become due. The Credit Agreement includes an option that allows us to extend the maturity date by one year, subject to certain conditions.
Current report
Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a variable rate, at our discretion, equal to either (a) the average Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 3.25% or (b) a base rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus 2.25%. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires the payment of a commitment fee of 0.35% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, and a letter of credit availability fee of 0.125% on outstanding letters of credit.
Current report
Our ability to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance, working capital levels and capital structure, which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors which may be beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or that future financings will be available on acceptable terms or in amounts sufficient to enable us to service or refinance our indebtedness or to make necessary capital expenditures.
Current report
As of June 30, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility nor outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2025, $20.0 million was available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Current report
Debt Covenants under the Credit Agreement
Current report
The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive financial and operating covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make certain investments, sell assets, and engage in other specified transactions. In August 2025, in connection with the establishment of a new share repurchase program (see Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), we amended the Credit Agreement to permit share repurchases of up to $10.0 million, thereby excluding such repurchases from the covenant restrictions. The Credit Agreement also requires us to comply with the following financial covenants on a quarterly basis: (i) a minimum liquidity of $10.0 million held on deposit with the Lender, over which we retain control and consider as cash and cash equivalents, (ii) a minimum consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) threshold, and (iii) a maximum total leverage ratio of 2.75 to 1.00, which is calculated based on consolidated EBITDA.
Current report
The Credit Agreement defines consolidated EBITDA on a trailing four fiscal quarter basis and includes specified adjustments and exclusions. As a result, EBITDA as defined under the Credit Agreement may differ materially from Adjusted EBITDA as presented elsewhere in this report. For example, the calculation of EBITDA under the Credit Agreement includes exceptions and caps related to adjustments for (i) restructuring and other strategic initiatives, (ii) legal settlements, (iii) completed acquisitions, and (iv) all other non-specified non-recurring charges. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement. Failure to comply with these covenants could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and liquidity.

Share Repurchase Program
Current report
In August 2025, we announced a new share repurchase program to purchase up to $10 million of shares of our common stock through August 1, 2026, as approved by our board of directors. The program is intended to reduce the dilutive impact of stock-based compensation and will be generally funded through the cash proceeds from exercised stock options and the 2021 ESPP, which will be cash neutral overall.
Current report
Repurchases may be made from time to time in open market transactions, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or through other means, in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, number of shares repurchased, and prices paid for the shares under this program will depend on general business and market conditions as well as corporate and regulatory limitations, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations.
Current report
The share repurchase program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock.

Our future success will depend in part on our ability to increase usage and adoption of our solutions with existing customers. We intend to increase revenue from existing customer relationships through the development of additional features and use cases, expanding our Customer Success initiatives, and natural customer data growth. We have developed add-on services, such as Enterprise Control and multi-region selection, which customers pay for on top of existing offerings. Examples of expanding use cases include utilizing Backblaze for additional purposes such as media storage, hybrid cloud support, analytics repositories, and others.

While our sales and marketing efforts have primarily focused on the United States, our existing customer base spans more than 175 countries, with 27% of our total revenue originating outside of the United States for thethree months ended March 31, 2025. We believe international expansion may represent a meaningful opportunity. We may invest in our operations internationally to reach new customers by expanding into targeted key geographies where we believe there are opportunities for significant return on investment. In January 2025, for example, we collaborated with a leading hybrid cloud solutions provider in Canada to extend our market reach in this region. This collaboration led to the launch of a new data center region in Canada in January 2025.

We believe the growth in the use of our platform by our existing customers is an important measure of the health of our business and our future growth prospects. We measure this growth by monitoring our overall net revenue retention rate, which measures our ability to retain and expand revenue from existing customers. Our continued focus on our customers is driving significant revenue retention, as evidenced by our overall net revenue retention rates (“NRRs”) of 113% and 112% as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The enhancement of our B2 Cloud Storage offerings is a key contributor to this success, resulting in NRRs of 117% and 126% for the same periods. The decrease in the NRR for B2 is largely driven by the lapped impact of the October 2023 price increase, which we announced during the third quarter of 2023, and resulted in pricing increases across our Computer Backup and B2 Cloud Storage products.

We define annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) as the annualized value of all B2 Cloud Storage and Computer Backup arrangements as of the end of a period. Given the renewable nature of our business, we view ARR as an important indicator of our financial performance and operating results, and we believe it is a useful metric for internal planning and analysis. ARR is calculated based on multiplying the monthly revenue from all B2 Cloud Storage and Computer Backup arrangements, which represent greater than 98% of our total revenue for the periods presented (and excludes Physical Media revenue), for the last month of a period by 12. Our annual recurring revenue for B2 Cloud Storage and Computer Backup is calculated in the same manner as our overall ARR based on the revenue from our Computer Backup and B2 Cloud Storage solutions, respectively. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on revenue from B2 Cloud Storage and Computer Backup arrangements.

While ARR is not a guarantee of future revenue, we consider substantially all of our revenue as recurring in nature for the periods presented. As noted above, our gross customer retention rate has been consis tent over the periods presented at approximately 90%. Although B2 Cloud Storage is generally paid for by customers in arrears, we recognize revenue in the month these storage services are delivered and consider this revenue recurring as customers are charged as long as their data is stored with us. Further, during the periods presented, customers who store data with us generally increase the amount of their data stored over time, as evidenced by our B2 Cloud Storage net revenue retention rate of 117% as of March 31, 2025. Fees from B2 Cloud Storage (consumption-based arrangements) are recognized as services are delivered. Computer Backup (subscription-based arrangements) revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of thearrangement beginning on the date that the service commences, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. See Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report for details on our revenue recognition policy. Additional limitations of ARR include the fact that consumption-based revenue is not guaranteed for future periods, although we believe that our high historic gross customer retention rate is indicative of ARR, and the fact that our subscription terms can be on a monthly basis, although the significant majority of our customers have subscription terms of one year or longer during the periods presented above.

The most significant components of our operating expenses are personnel costs, which consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation. We expect that our operating expenses, excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses, to remain relatively flat during 2025 compared to the prior year as a result of our restructuring activities in 2024; however, some of our sales and marketing expenses may increase as we continue to ramp up our hiring and external marketing spend over time in absolute dollars as we grow our business.

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, we provide investors with non-GAAP financial measures including adjusted gross profit (and margin), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow margin, each as defined below. These measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of these measures as tools for comparison. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider each of these non-GAAP financial measures alongside other financial performance measures, including the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and our other GAAP results. A reconciliation of each of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is set forth below.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, together with cash provided by operations will be sufficient to support our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our material cash requirements include contractual and other obligations under our finance and operating lease agreements and purchase commitments as discussed below. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our total revenue growth rate, the timing and the amount of cash received from customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the potential expansion of our data centers, the price at which we are able to purchase or lease infrastructure equipment, the impact of inflation on interest rates, the introduction of platform enhancements, and the continuing market adoption of our platform. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies. We plan to continue to enter into finance lease agreements for purchase of infrastructure equipment and may also be required or choose to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that we require additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies. To support our up-market transformation, we expect to increase our capital expenditures, continue leveraging finance lease agreements for infrastructure investments and, when strategic opportunities arise, we may supplement our revolving credit facility with additional equity or debt funding to accelerate enterprise-focused growth. In the event that we require additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $7.8 million for depreciation and amortization expense, $7.4 million for stock-based compensation expense, and noncash lease expense on operating leases of $0.9 million. The net cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of cash outflows related to a decrease of $1.6 million in operating lease liabilities, as well as an increase in prepaids and other current assets of $1.1 million, each related to the timing of payments of our expenses. The cash outflows were partially offset by a cash inflow due to an increase of $0.8 million in deferred revenue, which increased due to our growing sales and to timing of collections from our customers.
