BETA Technologies, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results
Company performance ahead of guidance, reflecting strong execution across the business; certification momentum and growing strategic partnerships take center stage in 2026
SOUTH BURLINGTON, VT. – March 9, 2026 – BETA Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BETA) (“BETA” or the “Company”), an electric aerospace company leading in the development and commercialization of electric aircraft, charging infrastructure, and aerospace-grade electric propulsion, today announced its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
Kyle Clark, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “2025 was a defining year for BETA. We entered the public markets backed by world class investors and strong support from our strategic partners. We demonstrated our capabilities in the air to customers, partners and regulators, reaching a total of over 100,000 nautical miles flown. We sustained that momentum through certification milestones across our family of aircraft, continued expansion of our charging network domestically and internationally, and added to our commercial aircraft and component backlog. With a healthy balance sheet and clear milestones ahead in 2026, we are set to maintain our commanding lead in electric aviation.”

Business Highlights
Record-Setting Flights and Global Demonstrations: Conducted demonstration flights with our customers in Norway and New Zealand, performed in the Paris Air Show and Oshkosh, completed the first all-electric passenger flight to New York’s JFK Airport, and set multiple world records in the Pulitzer Air Race.
Progressed H500A Electric Engine Certification Testing: Completed build and FAA conformity inspections on all H500A test units to support FAA certification testing of the H500A electric engine. Program on track for FAA type certification in the first half of 2026.
Expanded Charging Network: Continued expansion of charging network domestically and internationally, growing current total sites to 107, of which 57 are active.
Built Upon High-Quality Backlog for both Aircraft and Components: As of December 31, 2025, BETA had an existing commercial aircraft backlog with world-class operators of 891 aircraft worth approximately $3.5 billion, of which 289 are firm orders, 602 are options. Additionally, BETA was selected to supply its motors to Eve Air Mobility, a 10-year opportunity worth up to $1 billion.
Deepened Strategic Partnerships: Continued to build upon existing relationships with leaders in aerospace and defense, including GE Aerospace, General Dynamics Applied Physical Services and Eve Air Mobility, moving towards new phases of each partnership.
Advanced Autonomous Flight Capabilities: Completed first ALIA CTOL aircraft built to advance capabilities for autonomous flight. BETA has received approximately $4 million of project funding provided through a contract with U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command.

Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 were $11.1 million, compared to $4.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Product revenues and Service revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 were $4.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $35.6 million, compared to $15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Product revenues and Service revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $12.4 million and $23.2 million, respectively. The increase in Product revenues was due to deliveries of BETA motors and other enabling technologies in both the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in Service revenues was driven by engineering services contracts with commercial and government customers and charging network access fees in both the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2025.
Operating expenses for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 were $141.7 million and $398.4 million, respectively. Operating expenses included research and development expenses of $89.4 million and $259.9 million for the quarter and full year, respectively. Non-cash warrant expense related to the collaborative arrangement with GE Aerospace of $5.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively, was embedded in research and development expenses in both the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. Investments in research and development enable our certification programs and the further advancement of our enabling technologies.
For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, Net loss was ($150.0) million and ($745.9) million, respectively.

For the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was ($103.5) million and ($304.1) million, respectively.
Capital expenditures for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 were $19.8 million, compared to $21.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $45.4 million, down from $73.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2025, compared to $301.4 million as of December 31, 2024, as a result of successful private financings and the proceeds from our IPO.
Financial Outlook
BETA currently expects full year 2026 revenues to be in the range of $39 million to $43 million and full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of ($305) million to ($395) million.
BETA has not reconciled our forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance because certain items that impact this non-GAAP metric are uncertain or out of BETA's control and cannot be reasonably predicted. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is impacted by the future fair market value of BETA's Class A common stock, BETA's future hiring needs, and other factors, all of which are difficult to predict, subject to frequent change, or not within BETA's control. The actual amount of these expenses during 2026 could materially affect BETA's future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP metric is not available without unreasonable effort.
Webcast and Conference Call Details
BETA will host a live webcast and conference call at 8:30 am ET today to discuss quarter and full year financial and operating results. A link to the live webcast and supporting materials can be accessed on the Company’s Investor Relations website and a replay webcast will be available following the call. Participants may also join the conference call by registering on our Investors Relations website.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release and the accompanying earnings call contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding our future financial and operating performance, including our outlook and guidance; our regulatory outlook, progress and timing; our business strategy, plan, objectives, and goals; capital needs and the growth of our growth of our operations, manufacturing capabilities, and supporting infrastructure for aircraft development and deployment; plans and anticipated benefits with respect to our collaborations with third parties, and projected demand for our aircraft, other products, and services.
Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, factors described throughout the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of our prospectus for our IPO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 4, 2025 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as such

descriptions may be updated or amended by the factors that will be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in future reports we file with the SEC. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks and uncertainties may emerge that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release and the accompanying earnings call.
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release and the accompanying earnings call is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to traditional financial metrics, we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to help us evaluate our business.
We define EBITDA as net loss, adjusted for interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for loss on issuance of convertible preferred stock, stock-based compensation expense, warrant expense, loss on disposal of property and equipment, and IPO readiness costs.
We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors because they allow for greater transparency into what measures we use in operating our business and measuring our performance and enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where items may vary independent of business performance. These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes and should not be considered as substitutes for or superior to financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude certain expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements and they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by our management about which expenses are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Further, non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized. It may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. In addition, investors are encouraged to review our consolidated financial statements included in our filings with the SEC in their entirety and not rely solely on any single financial measure.
We caution readers that our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the supplemental tables attached to this press release.
