(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

  1. Nature of Operations

BETA Technologies, Inc. (“BETA” or the “Company”) specializes in the design, development and manufacturing of electric aircraft, including advanced flight control and electric propulsion systems, with a focus on clean aviation technology. The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries located in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions for the purpose of holding its interests in aircraft, intellectual and real property.

  1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and change in equity for the periods presented. Results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. The Company expects to use the extended transition period for any other new or revised accounting standards during the period in which it remains an emerging growth company.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in Note 2 “Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025 that have had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is still evaluating the effects of adopting this accounting standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public entities to disclose in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, Clarifying the Effective Date. ASU 2025-01 clarifies that the guidance in ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is still evaluating the effects of adopting this accounting standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which adds guidance to ASC 832 on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. ASU 2025-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2029. The Company does not anticipate that the standard will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

  1. Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues by customer type were as follows (in thousands):

Three Months EndedMarch 31,
20262025
U.S. and foreign governments$—$4,244
Commercial customers10,1335,355
Total$10,133$9,599

The Company currently expects to recognize approximately $15,720 of the remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next 12 months and the remaining to be recognized thereafter.

Deferred revenue, and deferred revenue, non-current, increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to receipt of customer payments exceeding revenue recognized on performance obligations. Revenue recognized related to these balances that existed at the beginning of the year was $288 and $3,372 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Additionally, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of indemnifications nor experienced any losses related to them. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was not aware of any claims under indemnification arrangements and does not expect significant claims related to these indemnification obligations and, consequently, concluded that the fair value of these obligations is negligible; therefore, no related reserves were established.

  1. Stock-Based Compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 2,236,939 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which had a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $21.17 per share. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 2,575,356 performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) under the Company’s 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which had a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $21.41 per share. The PSU grant consists of four distinct tranches that align with quarterly performance objectives. Upon vesting, each RSU and PSU is equivalent toone share of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Company determines the fair value of PSUs using the per-share market price of the Class A common stock on the grant date. The ultimate number of PSUs that vest is contingent on performance against the Company’s quarterly pre-set objectives and will be adjusted based on the probability and timing of performance achievement. Final compensation expense recognized is based on the number of PSUs that ultimately vest. The PSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 vest within atwo-year period. In April 2026, the Company’s Compensation Committee certified achievement of the first quarterly 2026 PSU performance objective, resulting in the vesting of 630,349 PSUs.

  1. Net Loss Per Share

The calculations of net loss per share were as follows (in thousands, except share and per-share amounts):

Three Months EndedMarch 31,
20262025
Numerator:
Net loss$(122,309)$(78,278)
Convertible preferred stock PIK dividend—12,164
Net loss attributable to common stockholders$(122,309)$(90,442)
Denominator:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted229,644,58345,634,214
Net loss per share, basic and diluted$(0.53)$(1.98)

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include pre-initial public offering (“IPO”) convertible preferred stock, unvested warrants, stock options and restricted stock, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect:

March 31,2026March 31,2025
Series A convertible preferred stock—56,088,617
Series B convertible preferred stock—25,416,180

  1. Segment Reporting

The Company hasone operating and reportable segment- Development and Manufacturing of Electric Aircraft. The Company determined its reportable segment based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates the business. Substantially all of the Company’s fixed assets are located and its revenues are generated in the United States. The Company’s foreign operations primarily consist of expenses associated with engineering and related supporting administrative services.

The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company changed the presentation of the financial information regularly provided to the CODM to evaluate segment performance and inform business decisions. The CODM reviews forecasted-to-actual segment loss for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The CODM does not use any segment asset measures to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources.

The Company’s prior-period segment amounts have been recast in the table below to conform to the new presentation of significant expenses. A reconciliation of segment loss to net loss was as follows (in thousands):
