" BigBear.ai's steady pace of contract awards and expanded customer engagements drove our strong year - to - date revenue and backlog growth . This is a testament to our successful track record for growing customer relationships by seamlessly implementing flexible solutions that enable customers to make critical decisions faster , more accurately and with better outcomes , " said Dr. Reggie Brothers , BigBear.ai Chief Executive Officer . “ Our investments for commercial penetration and public company readiness have proceeded according to plan . I am also very pleased to report that we recently signed two major contract awards that add more than $ 150 million to our backlog as well as a new transformational commercial agreement that will generate annual recurring revenue of $ 6 million over four years . Though timing of these key contract awards differed slightly from our expectations due to COVID - related delays and pushed a portion of our revenue growth later in the year than anticipated , this revenue is now on board . This timing difference between our investments and revenue will largely be settled in the second half of 2021 , when our adjusted EBITDA will reflect the true performance of the company . " Dr. Brothers continued , “ We are looking forward to completing our business combination with GigCapital4 later this year and for BigBear.ai to emerge as a public company . This will further accelerate our growth as we invest to develop new technology and expand into commercial markets , where we see substantial opportunities for our Al - powered solutions , which enable companies to make better decisions based on the massive amount of data they are rapidly accumulating .
