Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this report, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected costs, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” or “continue” or the negative of such terms or similar terminology. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include, but are not limited to, the Company’s assumptions about:
•our ability to design, manufacture and deliver our aircraft and other offerings to customers;
•our ability to obtain all required certifications, licenses, approvals, or authorizations from governmental authorities;
•our ability to achieve our business milestones for the commercialization of our aircraft and other offerings in a timely manner, or at all;
•the impact of competing products, services, or technologies or technological changes that result in reduced demand for our aircraft or other offerings, or in other adverse effects on the electric and hybrid electric aviation (including Vertical Takeoff and Landing (“VTOL”) aircraft) industry or our business;
•our ability to access the capital and credit markets or borrow on affordable terms to obtain additional capital that we may require;
•our ability to manage and grow our business effectively;
•risks associated with our defense program and our ability to secure and comply with existing or future contracts or otherwise grow our relationship with the U.S. Military and other U.S. governmental organizations;
•the potential for losses and adverse publicity stemming from any accidents or other incidents involving aircraft and, in particular, from accidents involving electric aircraft, or battery solutions, such as lithium-ion batteries;
•natural disasters, outbreaks and pandemics, economic, social, weather, growth constraints, and regulatory conditions;
•our dependence on suppliers and service partners for raw materials and certain parts and components;
•threats of cybersecurity-related attacks and other cyber-incidents;
•our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes in, our officers or other key employees or our directors;
•our ability to address a wide variety of extensive and evolving laws and regulations with which we are, or may in the future be, required to comply;
•changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us or challenges to our tax positions;
•claims and litigation that could ultimately be resolved against us;
•the cost of compliance with governmental regulations, evolving scrutiny, and changing expectations from global regulators and our stakeholders regarding our environmental, social, and governance practices and value proposition;
•costs incurred in complying with, or liabilities or obligations imposed under, environmental health and safety laws and regulations; and
•the other factors set forth in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as supplemented by our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including those described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as any subsequent filings. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot assure you that the results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments we may make.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless otherwise stated or the context requires otherwise, references to “BETA,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” refer to BETA Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

BETA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
1.Nature of Operations
BETA Technologies, Inc. (“BETA” or the “Company”) specializes in the design, development and manufacturing of electric aircraft, including advanced flight control and electric propulsion systems, with a focus on clean aviation technology. The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries located in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions for the purpose of holding its interests in aircraft, intellectual and real property.
2.Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and change in equity for the periods presented. Results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. The Company expects to use the extended transition period for any other new or revised accounting standards during the period in which it remains an emerging growth company.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in Note 2 “Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025 that have had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Concentration of Credit Risk
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 96% and 85% of accounts receivable, respectively, were derived from customers in excess of 10% of total accounts receivable.
Specific revenue from customers exceeding 10% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Customer A | | * | | 44% |
Customer B | | 17% | | 15% |
| Customer C | | * | | 17% |
| Customer D | | 62% | | * |
| Customer E | | * | | 14% |
______________
*Less than 10%
Collaborative Arrangement
During September 2025, the Company entered into a collaborative arrangement with General Electric Company, operating as GE Aerospace (“GE Aerospace”) and in connection with this arrangement, issued warrants to purchase Class A common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded research and development expense of $6,134, which includes $5,634 of warrant expense. As of March 31, 2026, there was $55,529 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested warrants.
Fair Value Disclosures
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents included $1,418,434 and $1,550,925 of cash equivalents, respectively. The Company’s cash equivalents are determined to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s credit facility under its credit agreement with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (the “Ex-Im Credit Facility”) is recorded on an amortized cost basis and had a fair value of $154,421 and $155,507 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The fair value of the Ex-Im Credit Facility is based on quoted prices in similar markets, which is a Level 2 input within the fair value hierarchy.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is still evaluating the effects of adopting this accounting standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public entities to disclose in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, Clarifying the Effective Date. ASU 2025-01 clarifies that the guidance in ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is still evaluating the effects of adopting this accounting standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which adds guidance to ASC 832 on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. ASU 2025-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2029. The Company does not anticipate that the standard will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
3.Revenue Recognition
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by customer type, product or service type and geographic location, as the Company believes these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
The Company’s revenues by customer type were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2026 | | 2025 |
| U.S. and foreign governments | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,244 | |
| Commercial customers | | 10,133 | | | 5,355 | |
| Total | | $ | 10,133 | | | $ | 9,599 | |
The Company recognized revenue from sales to customers in the United States during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 of $9,574 and $9,599, respectively. The Company generated $559 of revenue from international customers during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and there was no revenue generated from international customers for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s remaining performance obligations were $25,115. The Company currently expects to recognize approximately $15,720 of the remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next 12 months and the remaining to be recognized thereafter. For contracts that the Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue in the amount of consideration to which it has the right to invoice the customer based on services provided, the Company does not disclose unsatisfied performance obligations.
Contract Liabilities
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had total deferred revenue of $17,141 and $16,254, respectively. Deferred revenue, and deferred revenue, non-current, increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to receipt of customer payments exceeding revenue recognized on performance obligations. Revenue recognized related to these balances that existed at the beginning of the year was $288 and $3,372 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company also entered into an agreement for post-certification aircraft sales. This agreement has no associated revenues or cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has recorded deposits of $1,000 within deferred revenue and $4,260 within deferred revenue, non-current.
4.Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment, net consisted of the following (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |
| Buildings, structures and charging network | | $ | 211,448 | | | $ | 209,556 | |
| Machinery and equipment | | 103,544 | | | 94,137 | |
| Leasehold and land improvements | | 34,546 | | | 33,667 | |
| Vehicles and aviation | | 26,674 | | | 26,512 | |
| Computer equipment and software | | 15,453 | | | 18,413 | |
| Construction in progress | | 39,711 | | | 20,580 | |
| | 431,376 | | | 402,865 | |
| Accumulated depreciation | | (60,405) | | | (54,325) | |
| Property and equipment, net | | $ | 370,971 | | | $ | 348,540 | |
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $6,151 and $5,121, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company disposed $331 and $1,302 of property and equipment, net, respectively.
5.Leases
The Company’s lease arrangements consist of facility, vehicle, aircraft and equipment, as well as other short-term leases for storage and office space. There have been no material changes to the Company’s leases during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
6.Commitments and Contingencies
As of March 31, 2026, the Company was not aware of any material existing, pending or threatened legal actions against the Company. Additionally, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of indemnifications nor experienced any losses related to them. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was not aware of any claims under indemnification arrangements and does not expect significant claims related to these indemnification obligations and, consequently, concluded that the fair value of these obligations is negligible; therefore, no related reserves were established.
7.Stock-Based Compensation
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 2,236,939 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which had a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $21.17 per share. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 2,575,356 performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) under the Company’s 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which had a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $21.41 per share. The PSU grant consists of four distinct tranches that align with quarterly performance objectives. Upon vesting, each RSU and PSU is equivalent to one share of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Company determines the fair value of PSUs using the per-share market price of the Class A common stock on the grant date. The ultimate number of PSUs that vest is contingent on performance against the Company’s quarterly pre-set objectives and will be adjusted based on the probability and timing of performance achievement. Final compensation expense recognized is based on the number of PSUs that ultimately vest. The PSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 vest within a two-year period. In April 2026, the Company’s Compensation Committee certified achievement of the first quarterly 2026 PSU performance objective, resulting in the vesting of 630,349 PSUs.
There was $14,360 and $44,726 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PSUs and unvested restricted stock granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 and 3.7 years, respectively.
Total stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Cost of product revenues | | $ | 7 | | | $ | 23 | |
| Cost of service revenues | | 117 | | | 37 | |
| Research and development | | 7,648 | | | 1,958 | |
| General and administrative | | 15,644 | | | 5,289 | |
| Total stock-based compensation | | $ | 23,416 | | | $ | 7,307 | |
8.Net Loss Per Share
The calculations of net loss per share were as follows (in thousands, except share and per-share amounts):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Numerator: | | | | |
| Net loss | | $ | (122,309) | | | $ | (78,278) | |
| Convertible preferred stock PIK dividend | | — | | | 12,164 | |
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders | | $ | (122,309) | | | $ | (90,442) | |
| Denominator: | | | | |
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted | | 229,644,583 | | | 45,634,214 | |
| Net loss per share, basic and diluted | | $ | (0.53) | | | $ | (1.98) | |
The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include pre-initial public offering (“IPO”) convertible preferred stock, unvested warrants, stock options and restricted stock, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2026 | | March 31, 2025 |
| Series A convertible preferred stock | | — | | | 56,088,617 |
| Series B convertible preferred stock | | — | | | 25,416,180 |

9.Segment Reporting
The Company has one operating and reportable segment - Development and Manufacturing of Electric Aircraft. The Company determined its reportable segment based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates the business. Substantially all of the Company’s fixed assets are located and its revenues are generated in the United States. The Company’s foreign operations primarily consist of expenses associated with engineering and related supporting administrative services.
The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company changed the presentation of the financial information regularly provided to the CODM to evaluate segment performance and inform business decisions. The CODM reviews forecasted-to-actual segment loss for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The CODM does not use any segment asset measures to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources.
The Company’s prior-period segment amounts have been recast in the table below to conform to the new presentation of significant expenses. A reconciliation of segment loss to net loss was as follows (in thousands):

Revenues
Our product revenue is primarily generated from the sale of tangible products such as our batteries, motors, flight control systems and an international network of electric charging and related equipment (“Enabling Technologies”). Our service revenue is primarily generated from engineering, consulting and other service arrangements for our customers. Service revenue also includes revenue associated with usage of and priority access to our charge stations.
Product revenues decreased by $1.5 million, or 61%, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was attributable to the delivery of electric propulsion motors and batteries to commercial customers totaling $2.3 million during 2025, offset by a new contract with a commercial customer to deliver GSE of $0.8 million during 2026.
Service revenues increased by $2.1 million, or 29%, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to contracts with commercial customers of $6.2 million related to engineering and consulting services to support our customers’ research and development activities and $0.1 million related to priority access to the Company’s charging stations, offset by $4.2 million related to completion of services for the U.S. government during 2025.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of product revenues and service revenues may include the direct cost of materials, labor, subcontractors and overhead costs (where allowable), depending on the nature of the agreement. Included within cost of product revenues are purchases made directly for contractual performance obligations primarily recognized over time and as such, no inventories are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Cost of product revenues increased by $0.1 million, or 12%, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to labor and material costs to fulfill contracts with commercial customers.
Cost of service revenues increased by $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to an increase of $2.8 million in labor and material costs to fulfill contracts with commercial customers, partially offset by $0.3 million due to completion of services for the U.S. government during 2025.
Research and Development Expenses
We have invested in research and development for our electric aircraft and Enabling Technologies. We manage our expenses based on several factors, including industry conditions and expected demand for our products and services.
Research and development expenses increased $33.9 million, or 59%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to continued spend related to the development, testing, certification, and prototype production of our electric aircraft, electric propulsion systems, charging solutions and network. As part of these efforts, we incurred increased expenses for parts and materials of $7.5 million, labor costs including stock-based compensation expense of $14.1 million, warrant expense of $5.6 million resulting from the collaborative arrangement with GE Aerospace and other expenses of $6.7 million.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $19.0 million, or 68%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to increased stock-based compensation expense of $10.3 million, salaries and benefits of $4.4 million due to increased headcount, $2.0 million of professional fees and $2.3 million of other administrative costs.
Other (Income) Expense
Interest income increased $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable interest on the proceeds from convertible preferred stock offerings and the IPO.
Interest expense increased $0.8 million, or 26%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to a sale-leaseback transaction that occurred during 2025.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in tax on foreign earnings.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net loss adjusted for interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, warrant expense, loss on disposal of property and equipment and IPO costs.
In addition to traditional financial metrics, we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to help us evaluate our business. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred net losses and negative operating cash flows from operations since we were formed and began designing our electric aircraft in 2018 and we expect to continue to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future until we successfully commence sustainable commercial operations. Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been borrowings under our Ex-Im Credit Facility, equity financings, government funding and consideration from contracts with customers, as well as the proceeds from our IPO and the sale-leaseback transaction. To date, our primary use of capital has been for the development of our electric aircraft and Enabling Technologies. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,589 million. Until we generate sufficient operating cash flow to fully cover our operating expenses, working capital needs and planned capital expenditures, or if circumstances evolve differently than anticipated, we expect to utilize a combination of equity and debt financings to fund any future remaining capital needs. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. The capital markets have, in the past, and may, in the future, experience periods of volatility that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing. We can give no assurances that we will be able to secure such additional sources of funds to support our operations or, if such funds are available to us, that such additional financing will be sufficient to meet our needs. See the heading “Our business plan requires a significant amount of capital. We expect to require additional future funding to support our operations and implementation of our growth plans and we may be unable to access the capital and credit markets or borrow on affordable terms to obtain additional capital that we may require” in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Our principal uses of cash in recent periods were to fund our research and development activities, personnel cost and support services, including our battery, motor and charging services. Near-term cash requirements will also include spending on research and development of emerging technologies, strategic growth initiatives, including obtaining certifications and manufacturing our aircraft, commercial and go-to-market infrastructure. We do not have material cash requirements related to current contractual obligations. As such, our cash requirements are highly dependent upon management’s decisions about the pace and focus of both our short and long-term spending.
Cash requirements can fluctuate based on business decisions that could accelerate or defer spending, including the timing or pace of certification, investments, infrastructure and production of electric aircraft and Enabling Technologies. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and the amount of cash or grants received from our customers or governmental entities, respectively, the expansion of sales and marketing activities and the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, including collaborative arrangements.
Capital Expenditures
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we used $24.2 million and $6.3 million in cash, respectively, to fund capital expenditures. We anticipate incurring additional capital expenditures during the remaining portion of the year ending December 31, 2026, primarily related to the investment in machinery and equipment, buildings and our charging network.
Sources of Cash
The following table sets forth our cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Net cash used in: | | | | |
| Operating activities | | $ | (95,360) | | | $ | (58,262) | |
| Investing activities | | (24,176) | | | (6,250) | |
| Financing activities | | (1,248) | | | (310) | |

| Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | | $ | (120,825) | | | $ | (64,823) | |
Operating Activities
We continue to experience negative cash flows from operations as we develop our electric aircraft and Enabling Technologies and prepare for the future commercialization of our products and services. Our cash flows from operating activities are significantly affected by our expenditures in research and development and overhead manufacturing related to the scaling of our operations. Our operating cash flows are also affected by our working capital needs to support growth, personnel-related expenditures, accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $95.4 million, primarily due to a net loss of $122.3 million and cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $9.4 million, offset by non-cash charges including $6.2 million related to depreciation and amortization, $23.4 million related to stock-based compensation, $5.6 million of warrant expense and $1.1 million of other non-cash charges. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $9.4 million was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and current liabilities of $7.1 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $58.3 million, primarily due to a net loss of $78.3 million, offset by non-cash charges including $5.1 million related to depreciation and amortization, $7.3 million related to stock-based compensation, $1.5 million of other non-cash charges and $6.1 million of cash provided by changes to operating assets and liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by changes to operating assets and liabilities of $6.1 million was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and current liabilities of $4.5 million.
Investing Activities
We continue to experience negative cash flows from investing activities as we build our infrastructure and purchase equipment to support the development and commercialization of our electric aircraft and charging network. Cash flows used in investing activities primarily relate to capital expenditures to support our growth in operations, including expenditures related to the construction and expansion of our charging and production facilities, acquisitions of machinery and equipment and tooling and technology infrastructure, partially offset by proceeds from sales of property and equipment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in investing activities was $24.2 million, due to net purchases of property and equipment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $6.3 million, primarily due to net purchases of property and equipment of $6.7 million, offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in financing activities was $1.2 million, primarily due to repayment of borrowings of $1.4 million, offset by other financing activities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $0.3 million, primarily due to proceeds from convertible Series C preferred stock issuances of $0.8 million, offset by payment of convertible Series C preferred stock issuance costs of $1.6 million and other financing activities.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
As of March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments from those described in Note 5 “Notes Payable” and Note 6 “Leases” in the audited consolidated financial statements included within our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Critical Accounting Estimates
In connection with preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expense and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time we prepare our consolidated financial statements. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ materially from our assumptions and estimates. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates included in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025, other than as described below.
PSUs
We measure PSUs granted to employees and non-employees based on the fair value on the date of the grant. We recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is adjusted at each reporting period based on the probability and timing of performance achievement. We estimate the probability and timing of achievement based on available information regarding progress made towards performance objectives at each reporting period. If we later determine that achievement of a performance objective is no longer probable, the associated expense previously recognized will be reversed.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 “Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
Emerging Growth Company Status
See Note 2 “Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our status as an emerging growth company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Currently, our market risks relate to potential changes in the fair value of our long-term debt due to fluctuations in applicable market interest rates and inflation. Going forward, our market risk exposure will generally be limited to those risks that arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative, non-operating transactions, nor do we utilize financial instruments or derivative instruments for trading purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
Our cash and cash equivalents are invested in demand deposit accounts and money market funds and are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. We believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value as a result of changes in interest rates due to the short-term nature of our cash equivalents. Declines in interest rates, however, would reduce future interest income.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and money-market cash equivalents. Our cash is held in accounts with multiple financial institutions that we believe are creditworthy. These amounts at times may exceed federally-insured limits. We have not experienced any credit losses in such accounts and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on these funds.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and Rules 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
