Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business

Merger and Reverse Recapitalization and Accounting for the Merger
The Merger and reverse recapitalization, the accounting for the transaction, and the defined terms used herein are described in Note 1 — “Organization and Description of Business” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”)
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial position, have been included. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates based on assumptions about current and, for some estimates, future economic and market conditions, which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Although current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from management’s expectations, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 3 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Previously identified ASUs that are also currently applicable or material to the Company’s future consolidated financial statements are discussed in Note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Note 2. Liquidity and Going Concern
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $33.2 million and accounts receivable less allowance for credit losses of $16.7 million, while accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities (excluding amounts due to related parties), and accrued trade payables totaled $21.4 million.
Going Concern
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern basis,” which assumes that it will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations during the twelve months following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Historically, the Company has funded its operations by using cash generated from financing activities and at the same time, has incurred negative cash flows from operations. Cash provided by financing activities was not significant for the period ended March 31, 2026 and was unrelated to any capital raising activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and was generated by capital raising activities. Cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $12.6 million and $15.9 million, respectively.
The Company has historically incurred recurring operating losses, including a loss from operations of $23.4 million and $38.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Company’s ability to continue to meet its obligations, to achieve its business objectives, and continue as a going concern is dependent upon several factors, including its revenue growth rate, cash collections of its accounts receivable, and the timing and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing and research and development efforts. In order to continue its operations, the Company, as currently structured, will need to raise additional financing, if such financing is available at all.
As a result of the above, in connection with its assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40-50 — “Going Concern — Disclosure,” management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements have been issued.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments
The Company uses a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an “exit price” at the measurement date, or the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., the Company’s own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value.
In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s valuation policy and processes had not changed from those described in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Included in Note 5 — “Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K is a detailed description of the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value and their significant inputs, as well as the classification of such instruments pursuant to the Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 valuation hierarchy.
Carrying amounts that approximate fair value
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable (including from related parties), prepaid expenses and other current assets, deferred tax assets, operating lease right-of-use assets, other assets, accounts payable, accrued trade payables, accrued expenses and other current liabilities (including to related parties), working capital loan - related party, and advances from related party all approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

Derivative Instruments
The Company does not use derivatives to manage financial risks or as an economic hedge. The essential characteristics inherent in a derivative instrument are that the instrument is issued for no or nominal consideration, and also include the aspects of an underlying security, a notional amount, and a mechanism for net settlement. None of the Company’s derivative instruments are classified as hedging instruments, and all are marked to fair value at each quarterly period.
After the Merger and during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s derivatives were comprised of:
The Other Earnout Shares, representing a freestanding structured forward contract;
The Polar warrants, representing a freestanding liability-classified derivative instrument; and
The Committed Equity Facility, which upon execution on July 14, 2025, was considered a freestanding purchased put right, which put right was subsequently considered nominal and marked to zero during 2025. Each draw on the Committed Equity Facility is considered an embedded forward contract. No draws on the Committed Equity Facility were outstanding as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Note 6. Common Stock, Currently Outstanding Warrants to Purchase Common Stock, and Earnout Shares
Common stock
The Company has authorized 600 million shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Company has only one class of common stock authorized and issued. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and there are no cumulative voting rights. The Company’s common stock has no preemptive, redemption, conversion, or subscription rights. The Company has not previously paid cash dividends on its common stock. Any future dividend payments are subject to the discretion of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”).
The following table sets forth the changes in shares of the Company’s common stock from December 31, 2025 through March 31, 2026:
| Common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2025 | 122,043,966 |
|---|---|
| Release of restricted stock units | 653,589 |
| Exercise of stock options | 49,202 |
| Common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2026 | 122,746,757 |
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company issued 18,918,918 shares of common stock in an underwritten stock offering and granted a 30-day option pursuant to which the Company may issue up to 2,837,837 additional shares of common stock. See Note 10 — “Subsequent Events”.
Currently Outstanding Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
During the period ended March 31, 2026, there were no changes to the Company’s outstanding warrants or any of the terms of its outstanding warrants as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company amended the outstanding Polar warrants to adjust the exercise price from $5.00 per share to $3.00 per share. See Note 10 — “Subsequent Events”.
Earnout Shares
In connection with the Merger, Legacy Blaize shareholders and employee equity award holders (including holders of stock options and RSUs) are entitled to receive up to 15,000,000 shares of common stock and Burkhan has the right to receive up to 2,600,000 shares of common stock (collectively, the “Earnout Shares”).
Earnout Shares issued to eligible Legacy Blaize employee equity award holders (“Employee Earnout Shares”) are considered a compensatory award and are accounted for under ASC 718 — “Share-Based Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Further, these Employee Earnout Shares have been determined to be equity classified and accordingly, are not remeasured unless an employee departs from the Company, which is considered a modification of an equity-based award.
Earnout Shares issued to Burkhan and Legacy Blaize shareholders that are not within the scope of ASC 718 (the “Other Earnout Shares”), were evaluated by management under ASC 480 — “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815. The Company determined that the Other Earnout Shares are a derivative liability and remeasures the Other Earnout Shares at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Legacy Blaize shareholders, Legacy Blaize employee equity award holders, and Burkhan are entitled to Earnout Shares in four tranches upon the occurrence of four separate events (each a “Triggering Event” and collectively, the “Triggering Events”), if they occur between the Merger date and January 13, 2030. The Triggering Event thresholds are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Employee Earnout Shares
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $3.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense related to the Employee Earnout Shares. As of March 31, 2026, there was $62.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the Employee Earnout Shares.
Other Earnout Shares
The fair value of the derivative liability associated with the Other Earnout Shares is described in Note 4 — “Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments”.
Note 7. Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities.
The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities, and the if-converted method to determine the dilutive effect of any potentially dilutive convertible securities, as the Company’s only participating securities are shares of the Company’s common stock, and any dividends declared on the common stock would be forfeitable if not vested. There were no potentially dilutive securities included in the Company’s diluted net loss per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as the effect of any potentially dilutive security would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses in those periods.
The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Numerator | ||
| Net loss | $(22,653) | $(147,761) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic and diluted | 122,382,195 | 91,747,685 |
| Net loss per share, basic and diluted | $(0.19) | $(1.61) |
The table below sets forth a listing of potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders because the impact of including them would have been anti-dilutive or out-of-the-money:
| As of March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Stock options | 28,697,076 | 28,042,235 |
| RSUs | 9,359,499 | 1,150,724 |
| Earnout shares | 17,600,000 | 17,600,000 |
| Warrants issued to an advisor | 50,000 | 50,000 |
| Polar warrants (1) | 9,375,000 | — |
| BZAI warrants | 29,648,250 | 29,648,250 |
| ESPP (2) | 3,047,669 | 3,047,669 |
| Total | 97,777,494 | 79,538,878 |
(1) The Polar warrants were issued in November 2025.
(2) The ESPP has not yet commenced.
Note 8. Segment Reporting
The Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment. “Operating segments” are defined as components of the Company that engage in business activities with distinct financial information that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is its chief executive officer, who regularly reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purpose of making decisions and assessing financial performance, as the Company’s products and services have similar economic characteristics.
The financial information received by the CODM focuses primarily on total available cash and cash equivalents, total revenue, significant expenses, net loss, and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and EBITDA as further adjusted for certain non-cash items and other adjustments that the CODM does not consider in their evaluation of ongoing operating performance from period to period (“Adjusted EBITDA”), to make decisions regarding the Company’s strategy, including the allocation of resources, as well as the Company’s assessment of operating performance.
As the Company operates as a single operating segment, the measures of total available cash and cash equivalents, total revenue and net loss, as reviewed by the CODM, are set forth on the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as in certain notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 4 — “Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments” for details regarding the Company’s cash equivalents. See Note 3 — “Revenue and Accounts Receivable” for details regarding the Company’s total revenue disaggregated by customer geographical location and the major customer concentrations of the Company’s total revenue and accounts receivable balances.
Similarly, as the Company operates in a single segment, the condensed consolidated statements of operations provide one view of the Company’s significant expenses. Additional to the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the CODM regularly reviews the significant expense categories in the calculation of net loss, set forth as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|

| Revenue | $2,738 | $1,007 |
| Cost of revenue | (1,162) | (327) |
| Employee costs | (17,495) | (19,081) |
| Technology costs | (1,396) | (2,417) |
| Depreciation | (186) | (191) |

| Fair value changes and financing charges | 1,027 | (109,530) |
| Other items (1) | (6,358) | (17,621) |
| Net loss | $(22,653) | $(147,761) |
(1) “Other items” includes marketing expenses, professional fees, facilities costs, foreign exchange gains and losses, credit loss estimates, income taxes, and other overhead expenses.
The following table sets forth the Company’s reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (Amounts in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Net loss | $(22,653) | $(147,761) |
| Depreciation | 186 | 191 |
| Provision for income taxes | 99 | 162 |
| Interest income, net | (179) | (399) |

| Stock-based compensation | 8,948 | 11,040 |
| Fair value changes and financing charges | (1,027) | 109,530 |
| Transaction costs | — | 12,043 |
| Non-cash inventory cost realignment adjustments | 106 | (625) |
| Other adjustments (1) | 594 | 439 |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $(13,926) | $(15,380) |
(1) “Other adjustments” includes, but is not limited to, other non-cash expenses, including foreign exchange gains and losses, and income and expenses that are not expected to be ongoing, including litigation expenses, financing advisory fees, and fines and penalties (or the recoveries and reversals of such). The Company believes that these items are not reflective of its ongoing operating performance and excluding these items provides a more meaningful comparison of its results of operations over comparative periods.
Note 9. Related Party Transactions and Balances
Transactions with the Sponsor and its affiliates
Sales Partner Referral Agreement
On June 30, 2025, the Company entered into a Sales Partner Referral Agreement (the “Referral Agreement”) with Burkhan LLC (the “Sales Partner”), an affiliate of BurTech LP, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The Referral Agreement has an initial approved customer of BurTech Systems Tech LLC (“BST”), an affiliate of the Sales Partner. Under the agreement, BST will purchase, subject to the issuance of purchase orders, up to $56.5 million of the Company’s products on behalf of a certain unaffiliated end user. The Sales Partner will receive a commission from the Company of up to 10%, depending on the Company’s gross margins under the purchase order. The sales commission is payable in cash, or, partially, at the Company’s discretion, in shares of the Company’s common stock. The commission is payable to BST once the Company receives cash from these sales.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $2.6 million in revenue from the Referral Agreement, inclusive of sales commissions of $0.3 million, which was reported as a reduction of revenue, and paid fully in cash.
Other earnout shares - related party
A portion of the “other earnout shares” were issued to an affiliate of the Sponsor at the time of the Merger. See Note 6 — “Common Stock, Currently Outstanding Warrants to Purchase Common Stock, and Earnout Shares”. The fair value of these other earnout shares as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, as set forth on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of each period.
Working capital loan - related party
Immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which it borrowed $1.5 million for general corporate purposes. On the date of the Merger, this loan was recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, and was outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Repayment has been demanded by the Sponsor.
Advances from related party
Immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Sponsor provided the Company with certain working capital advances, which are non-interest bearing and payable on demand, in the amount of $2.9 million. These amounts are reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 as “advances from related party”. Repayment has been demanded by the Sponsor.
Accounts payable - related party
The Company owed management fees in the amount of $0.2 million to the Sponsor as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These amounts are reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “accounts payable - related party”.
Shareholder note receivable
Immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Sponsor issued a secured promissory note and pledge agreement (the “shareholder note receivable”) to the Company which will decrease when the Sponsor pays for transaction costs that the Company assumed from the Sponsor during the Merger. The shareholder note receivable is secured by collateral of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by the Sponsor. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal of the shareholder note receivable was $8.6 million, the amount of which has been deducted from additional paid-in capital on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of that date.
Non-Redemption Agreements
On December 31, 2024 and through January 13, 2025, the Company, its Sponsor, and Legacy Blaize entered into non-redemption agreements with several unaffiliated stockholders (each, an “Investor”) who agreed not to redeem (or, alternately, to validly rescind any redemption requests on) their shares of common stock (“Non-Redeemed Shares”) through up to 180 days after the Closing Date. These Non-Redeemed Shares were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock and were held in a separate escrow account. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem the Non-Redeemed Shares, the Sponsor agreed to guarantee that each Investor receive a return of $1.50 per Non-Redeemed Share held in a related cash escrow account, subject to certain conditions. The Sponsor, and not the Company, was contractually obligated for the $1.50 per share premium related to these non-redemption agreements. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize a non-redemption liability for the Sponsor’s commitment.

Note 10. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
On May 5, 2026, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Northland Securities, Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the May 6, 2026 issuance and sale (the “Offering”) of 18,918,918 shares (the “Base Shares”) of the Company’s common stock to the public at a price of $1.85 per share. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 2,837,837 additional shares of common stock (the “Option Shares” and, together with the Base Shares, the “Shares”) at the public offering price. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering for the Base Shares were approximately $32.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses paid by the Company. If the Option Shares are fully exercised, the Company would receive aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $40.25 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.
On May 5, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Common Stock Purchase Warrants with the holders of the Polar warrants, amending the outstanding Polar warrants to adjust the exercise price from $5.00 per share to $3.00 per share.
