Analysis · BRUN · Technology
Boost Run's Q2 revenue jumped 270% to $31.1M, but a one-time $55.7M deferred tax charge from its SPAC conversion pushed the company to a $75M net loss. The company also disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls and a $222.5M GPU rental contract signed after quarter-end. The tax charge is non-cash and tied to the business combination, but the control weaknesses and heavy lease obligations add risk.
