Summary
BigBear.ai posted Q2 revenue of $36.7M, up 13% YoY, driven by Ask Sage's GenAI platform. Gross margin surged 781 bps to 32.8%, reflecting a higher-margin revenue mix. The company won over 20 new contracts, pushing backlog to $269.6M, a 9% increase since year-end. Despite a net loss of $25.7M, cash reserves stand at $409.8M, providing ample dry powder for M&A.
