The Company is filing an amendment to the Initial Form 8-K to correct an error in the amount of accounts receivable in the three months ended December 31, 2025, which was identified by management while conducting final procedures in connection with the preparation of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the resulting effects of such change on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows reported for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In the Company’s Unaudited Statements of Cash Flows for year ended December 31, 2025 (in thousands), the total amount of accounts receivable should be $(19,469) rather than the previously reported amount of $(22,979); the total amount of contract assets – current and long-term should be $(313) rather than the previously reported amount of $2,157; and the total amount of contract liabilities – current and long-term should be $28,159 rather than the previously reported amount of $29,199.Except for the figures described above, which are included in the financial statements and in the Company’s statements with respect to its preliminary results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, or as otherwise noted in this Form 8-K/A, there were no changes to the Original Earnings Release.
On March 2, 2026, the Company posted to its Investor Relations website a corrected version of the Earnings Release to correct the errors in its Original Earnings Release, as described above
A copy of the Company’s corrected press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in this Item 2.02 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

O’Toole, BlackSky CEO. “With the exceptional performance of Gen-3, we’re converting early customer pilots into long-term subscription contracts worldwide. Significant international demand drove the majority of our backlog growth and is further diversifying our customer base. We enter 2026 with strong momentum and look forward to continuing our Gen-3 deployments throughout the year to meet our customers’ mission-critical requirements.”
Full Year Financial Highlights:
•Record total revenue of $107 million
•Backlog of $345 million, up 32% from prior year driven by $240 million in contract bookings
•Cash balance of $126 million as of December 31, 2025
Recent Highlights
•Awarded a new eight-figure multi-year contract with an international defense customer to deliver a very-high resolution Gen-3 satellite and advanced imagery services
•New international customer rapidly grew Gen-3 subscription from a small initial pilot to a seven-figure quarterly run rate to support time-sensitive mission-critical operations
•Converted multiple international Gen-3 early access pilots into subscription contracts
•Delivered against recently awarded Gen-3 contract milestones on multiple international programs that supported a strong fourth quarter performance
•Awarded NGA Luno contract options valued in the seven figures
•Continued to win new orders through the U.S. Space Force Global Data Marketplace
•Achieved major milestones across multiple contracts that converted prior unbilled receivables
•Third successful Gen-3 satellite deployment delivered very-high resolution images within 24 hours from launch and rapidly entered commercial operations

Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $35.2 million, up $4.8 million, or 16% from the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by a new contract for the delivery of a Gen-3 satellite and other new contracts.
For the full year 2025, total revenue was $106.6 million, up $4.5 million from 2024.
Cost of Sales(1)
Total cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 27% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 23% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to growth in the mission solutions business.
For the full year 2025, cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 33%, compared to 27% in 2024.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $29.7 million, which included $4.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $8.0 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $29.6 million, which included $2.8 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $10.0 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. Excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses from both years, cash operating expenses(2) for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $17.7 million, compared to cash operating expenses of $16.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
For the full year 2025, operating expenses were $118.2 million, which included $13.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $30.3 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. For the full year 2024, operating expenses were $118.9 million, which included $10.5 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $43.5 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. Excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses from both years, cash operating expenses(2) in 2025 were $74.3 million, compared to cash operating expenses of $64.9 million in 2024.
Net Loss(3)
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.9 million, compared to a net loss of $19.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year improvement in net loss of $18.6 million was primarily due to changes in the gain/(loss) on derivatives, which are driven by fluctuations in the Company’s equity warrants and other equity instruments that are measured at fair value and driven by the Company’s common stock price.
For the full year 2025, net loss was $70.3 million, compared to $57.2 million in 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA(2)
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $8.8 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher revenues.
For the full year 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $0.9 million, compared to $11.6 million in 2024.
Balance Sheet & Capital Expenditures
As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments totaled $125.6 million. During the quarter, the Company achieved major milestones across multiple contracts that triggered invoicing of prior unbilled receivables, which reduced unbilled contract assets from $44.0 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025 to approximately $28.6 million. Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $12.7 million, bringing the full year total spend to $46.6 million.
2026 Outlook
BlackSky expects full year 2026 revenue to be between $120 million and $145 million, full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA to be between $6 million and $18 million, and full year 2026 capital expenditures to be between $50 million and $60 million.
The Company is not providing a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items necessary to calculate such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, which are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP results.
(1) Cost of sales is defined as space-based intelligence & AI services costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, mission solutions costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, and advanced technology programs costs, excluding depreciation and amortization.
(2) Non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and reconciliation table at the end of this press release.
(3) This represents our current estimate of net loss for the period ending December 31, 2025, which is subject to the completion of our financial closing procedures and adjustments that may result from the completion of the audit of our consolidated financial statements. As a result, this net loss estimate may differ from the actual net loss reported in our consolidated financial statements when they are completed and publicly disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss attributable to BlackSky before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as significant non-cash and/or non-recurring expenses as our management believes these items are not as useful in evaluating the Company’s core operating performance. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense; unrealized (gain) loss on certain warrants/shares classified as derivative liabilities; loss on debt extinguishment; non-recurring transaction costs; litigation, settlements, and related costs; severance; and impairment, obsolescence, and asset disposals. Cash operating expenses is defined as operating expenses less stock-based compensation expense for selling, general, and administrative costs, and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes evaluating cash operating expenses is useful to manage expenses as it excludes non-cash items that may obscure the underlying business performance.
Adjusted EBITDA and cash operating expenses are non-GAAP financial performance measures. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the schedule herein and our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable measure reported in accordance with GAAP, and for a discussion of the presentation, comparability, and use of adjusted EBITDA. Please refer to the schedule herein for a reconciliation of cash operating expenses to operating expenses, the most comparable measure reported in accordance with GAAP, and this press release for a discussion of the use of cash operating expenses.

BLACKSKY PRELIMINARY FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2025 RESULTS
Full Year Financial Highlights:
•Record total revenue of $107 million
•Backlog of $345 million, up 32% from prior year driven by $240 million in contract bookings
•Cash balance of $126 million as of December 31, 2025
Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $35.2 million, up $4.8 million, or 16% from the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by a new contract for the delivery of a Gen-3 satellite and other new contracts.
For the full year 2025, total revenue was $106.6 million, up $4.5 million from 2024.
Cost of Sales(1)
Total cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 27% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 23% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to growth in the mission solutions business.
For the full year 2025, cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 33%, compared to 27% in 2024.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $29.7 million, which included $4.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $8.0 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $29.6 million, which included $2.8 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $10.0 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. Excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses from both years, cash operating expenses(2) for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $17.7 million, compared to cash operating expenses of $16.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
For the full year 2025, operating expenses were $118.2 million, which included $13.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $30.3 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. For the full year 2024, operating expenses were $118.9 million, which included $10.5 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $43.5 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. Excluding the non-cash
stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses from both years, cash operating expenses(2) in 2025 were $74.3 million, compared to cash operating expenses of $64.9 million in 2024.
Net Loss(3)
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.9 million, compared to a net loss of $19.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year improvement in net loss of $18.6 million was primarily due to changes in the gain/(loss) on derivatives, which are driven by fluctuations in the Company’s equity warrants and other equity instruments that are measured at fair value and driven by the Company’s common stock price.
For the full year 2025, net loss was $70.3 million, compared to $57.2 million in 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA(2)
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $8.8 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher revenues.
For the full year 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $0.9 million, compared to $11.6 million in 2024.
Balance Sheet & Capital Expenditures
As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments totaled $125.6 million. During the quarter, the Company achieved major milestones across multiple contracts that triggered invoicing of prior unbilled receivables, which reduced unbilled contract assets from $44.0 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025 to approximately $28.6 million. Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $12.7 million, bringing the full year total spend to $46.6 million.
(1) Cost of sales is defined as space-based intelligence & AI services costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, mission solutions costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, and advanced technology programs costs, excluding depreciation and amortization.
(2) Non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and reconciliation table at the end of this press release.
(3) This represents our current estimate of net loss for the period ending December 31, 2025, which is subject to the completion of our financial closing procedures and adjustments that may result from the completion of the audit of our consolidated financial statements. As a result, this net loss estimate may differ from the actual net loss reported in our consolidated financial statements when they are completed and publicly disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss attributable to BlackSky before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as significant non-cash and/or non-recurring expenses as our management believes these items are not as useful in evaluating the Company’s core operating performance. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense; unrealized (gain) loss on certain warrants/shares classified as derivative liabilities; loss on debt extinguishment; non-recurring transaction costs; litigation, settlements, and related costs; severance; and impairment, obsolescence, and asset disposals. Cash operating expenses is defined as operating expenses less stock-based compensation expense for selling, general, and administrative costs, and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes evaluating cash operating expenses is useful to manage expenses as it excludes non-cash items that may obscure the underlying business performance.
Adjusted EBITDA and cash operating expenses are non-GAAP financial performance measures. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the schedule herein and our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable measure reported in accordance with GAAP, and for a discussion of the presentation, comparability, and use of adjusted EBITDA. Please refer to the schedule herein for a reconciliation of cash operating expenses to operating expenses, the most comparable measure reported in accordance with GAAP, and this press release for a discussion of the use of cash operating expenses.
