Blaize Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Financial Results

• Revenue grew approximately 20x in 2025, scaling from approximately $1 million in Q1 2025 to $23.8 million in Q4 2025
• Commercial engagements expanded across cloud infrastructure, sovereign AI initiatives, and industrial environments
• Strategic progress continued into Q1 2026 through strategic partnerships, sovereign AI initiatives, and go-to-market leadership expansion
• AI Services platform initiative progressed toward initial release, expected early in the second quarter

Blaize Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:BZAI, NASDAQ:BZAIW) ("Blaize," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our"), a leader in programmable, energy-efficient edge AI computing, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, reflecting strong execution as AI infrastructure increasingly centers on inference-driven systems, enabled by efficiency-focused architectures designed for real-world AI deployment.

In 2025, Blaize delivered $38.6 million in revenue, up from $1.6 million in 2024, marking its first full year of commercial revenue generation. This was driven by expanding engagements with system integrators and solution providers supporting AI inference infrastructure buildout, sovereign AI initiatives, and public safety applications. Fourth-quarter performance also reflected continued sequential growth, with revenue more than doubling from the third quarter.

This execution reflects increasing demand for efficient, real-world AI deployments and positions Blaize to extend its platform into AI services and application delivery over time.

"AI infrastructure is entering its next phase as the industry moves from model training to inference at global scale," said Dinakar Munagala, co-founder and CEO of Blaize. "As this evolution continues, customers are increasingly focused on cost per inference, power efficiency, and revenue per rack. Blaize is enabling this through a programmable, hybrid AI platform designed for efficient inference across edge and data center environments. Our focus is execution, expanding commercial engagements and converting pipeline into revenue. We are also progressing toward the initial release of the Blaize AI Services platform in the second quarter, extending our strategy toward monetizable, API-based AI capabilities."

"We delivered strong revenue growth in 2025 and exceeded the upper end of our full-year guidance, reflecting continued execution across our commercial engagements," said Harminder Sehmi, Chief Financial Officer of Blaize. "We remain focused on disciplined execution as we scale the business, with continued emphasis on efficiency and expanding recurring revenue opportunities over time."

• Fourth quarter and full year revenue exceeded the upper end of the Company's guidance
• Fourth quarter net loss of $3.2 million an improvement over $26.3 million net loss from prior quarter
• Adjusted EBITDA loss of $11.1 million was flat from prior quarter
• Research & Development spend and Sales, General & Administrative costs were flat sequentially

Business Developments Since Year-End

Since the end of 2025, Blaize has continued to expand its commercial activity and ecosystem partnerships across key markets:

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"), we report certain key financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information. We believe that along with our GAAP financial information, our non-GAAP financial information when taken collectively and evaluated appropriately, is helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance.

In conjunction with net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, we also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as "Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization". Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, changes in fair value, and operational income and expenses that are not expected to be ongoing, as discussed below in the footnote to "other adjustments".

In reliance on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we have not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) for the full fiscal year 2026 included above because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting, with reasonable certainty, certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Consequently, we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be misleading to investors. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to Blaize without unreasonable effort. For the same reasons, Blaize is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. We expect the variability of these excluded items may have an unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

The financial projections in this release are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Blaize's control. While such projections are necessarily speculative, Blaize believes that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation.
