Q2 Revenue Flat, Net Loss Swings Negative
Revenue came in at $30.5 million, essentially flat compared with $30.8 million in Q2 2025. The bottom line swung to a net loss of $(0.5) million from net income of $0.3 million a year ago, pressured by higher interest expense and lower gross margins.
-
Adjusted EBITDA Declines to $8.1M
Adjusted EBITDA dropped to $8.1 million from $10.8 million in Q2 2025, reflecting higher operating costs and a non-cash warrant fair value adjustment.
-
Cash Reserves Drop to $7.2M
Cash and cash equivalents fell to $7.2 million as of June 30, 2026, down from $31.4 million at year-end 2025, driven by seasonal working capital usage and the timing of customer receipts.

Full-Year Guidance Reiterated

Analysis · BAER · Trade & Services
Bridger Aerospace's Q2 results met expectations but revealed a shift to a net loss and a pullback in Adjusted EBITDA. Despite this, management reiterated its full-year guidance, underscoring confidence in the second half even as cash reserves dwindled to $7.2 million. The report lands amid escalating wildfire activity and fresh contract wins, yet the cash burn and a stock price hovering near its 52-week low cast doubt on liquidity and operational staying power should the wildfire season fall short.
