Q 3 2 0 2 6 E A RN I N GS C AL L Forward-Looking Statements This release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results that are subject to the safe har bors created under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward -looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “ future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward -looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements rega rding our industry, future events, and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us and should not be relied upon as representing BigBear.ai’s assessment as of any date subsequent to the date of this release. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond our control. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those relating to: changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the uncertainty of projected financial information; delays caused by factors outside of our control, including changes in fiscal or contracting policies or decreases in available government funding, including as a result of events such as war, incidents of terrorism, natural disasters, and public health concerns or epidemics; changes in government programs or ap plicable requirements; budgetary constraints, including any potential constraints as a result of recent or future federal government layoffs, including automatic reductions as a result of “sequestration” or simil ar measures and constraints imposed by any lapses in appropriations for the federal government or certain of its departments and agencies, including government shutdowns or the ability of the U.S. federal gove rnment to unilaterally cancel a contract with or without cause, and more specifically, the potential impact of the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization on government spending and terminating contracts for conveni ence; the failure of contracts comprising backlog to result in revenue due to changes in funding, terminations for convenience, or option periods going unexercised; the impact of tariffs or other restrictive tra de measures; implementation of spending limits or changes in budgetary constraints; influence by, or competition from, third parties with respect to pending, new, or existing contracts with government customers; changes in our ability to successfully compete for and receive task orders and generate revenue under Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts; our ability to realize the benefits of the strategic partnerships; r isks that the new businesses will not be integrated successfully or that the combined companies will not realize estimated cost savings; failure to realize anticipated benefits of the combined operations; potential delays or changes in the government appropriations or procurement processes; risks regarding the market and our customers accepting and adopting our products, including future new product offerings; the high degree of unce rtainty of the level of demand for, and market utilization of, our solutions and products; our ability to successfully execute and realize the benefits of joint ventures, channel sales relationships, partnerships, st rategic alliances, subcontracting opportunities, customer contracts and other commercial agreements to which we are a party; and those factors discussed in the Company’s reports and other documents filed with the S EC, including under the heading “Risk Factors.” If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those projected by these forward -looking statements. There may be additional risks that we presently do not know or that we currently believe are immaterial which could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward -looking statements. In additi on, forward-looking statements reflect our expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our assessm ents to change. However, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward -looking statements. © 2026 BigBear.ai, all rights reserved

Q 3 2 0 2 6 E A RN I N GS C AL L Non-GAAP Financial Measures The financial information and data contained in this press release is unaudited. Some of the financial information and data c ontained in this press release, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). To supplement our unaudited condensed con solidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP in our press release, we also report certain non -GAAP financial measures. A “non -GAAP financial measure” refers to a numeri cal measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly compara ble measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in such company’s financial statements. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of non -GAAP measures may not be comparable to other simil arly titled measures of other companies. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superio r to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered measures of BigBear.ai’s liquidity. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non -GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of certain items, as defined in our non -GAAP definitions below, which are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be different from non -GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even where simila rly titled, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes and therefore should not be used to compare BigBear.ai’s performance to that of other companies. We endeavor to compensate for the limitation of the non -GAAP financial measures present ed by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measures and descriptions of the reconciling items and adjustments to derive the non -GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and analysts with useful supplemental information about the finan cial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management to operate and analyze our business over different periods of time. EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income before interest expense, interest income, income tax (benefit) expense and depreciatio n and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted for equity - based compensation, employer payroll taxes related to equity -based compensation, net (decrease) increase in fair value of deriva tives, restructuring charges, non -recurring strategic initiatives, non-recurring litigation, transaction expenses, non -recurring integration costs, goodwill impairment, and loss on extinguishment of debt. Similar excluded expenses may be incurred in future periods when calculating these measures. BigBear.ai believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operat ions. BigBear.ai believes that the use of these non -GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends and in comparing BigBear.ai’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non -GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non -GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accor dance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non -GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial stateme nts. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non -GAAP financial measures. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as non -GAAP performance measures which are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the tables included in this release. The Company does not reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure (or otherwise descr ibe such forward-looking GAAP measure) because it is not able to forecast the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impracticable for the Company to forecast. As a result, no guidance for the Company’s net (loss) income or reconciliation of the Company’s Adju sted EBITDA guidance is provided. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially significant impact on its future net income (loss). © 2026 BigBear.ai, all rights reserved
