Delivered strong revenue growth and continued momentum across its commercial, defense and integrated aerospace platform.

SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt.: BETA Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BETA) (“BETA” or the “Company”), an aerospace and defense company, today announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“This quarter showed that the investments made across the business continue to translate into real-world operations and delivered tangible results,” said Kyle Clark, founder and chief executive officer of BETA. “We became the first company to launch operations under the eVTOL Integration Pilot Program, demonstrated hybrid-electric flight at commercial altitude with GE Aerospace, unveiled the MV250 for defense applications, and continued to grow our backlog. Each of these milestones builds on the same integrated foundation: certification, operational experience, infrastructure, and vertical integration. Progress in one program strengthens the others, accelerating our ability to serve commercial and defense customers as we scale.”

Business Highlights

• Unveiled the MV250 Aircraft: Launched BETA’s first hybrid-electric autonomous vertical takeoff and landing aircraft at the Farnborough International Airshow. Built on BETA’s common platform, the MV250 combines autonomous operations with hybrid-electric propulsion developed alongside GE Aerospace, accelerating technologies that will benefit both defense and commercial aircraft maximizing the total addressable market.
• Achieved World’s First High-Altitude Hybrid-Electric Flight: Collaborated with GE Aerospace, NASA, and Boeing through NASA’s Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration program to complete the first hybrid-electric flight above 30,000 feet, reaching the altitudes at which commercial passenger aircraft operate. In addition to supporting flight testing in the U.S., the aircraft was flown by BETA pilots to Farnborough and in the airshow, showing the viability of hybrid-electric propulsion for aviation.
• Completed Industry’s First eIPP Flights: Launched the first operations under the U.S. Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration’s (“FAA”) eVTOL Integration Pilot Program, with BETA operating its conventional takeoff and landing ALIA aircraft to transport manufactured organs with United Therapeutics utilizing the company's existing airport charging network. This milestone reinforces BETA’s leadership in Advanced Air Mobility through proven operational experience and close collaboration with the FAA.
• Expanded Charging Infrastructure: Grew BETA’s network to 138 charging sites, while announcing the deployment of up to 250 charging sites, including airports and vertiports in California, Texas, Florida, and New York under the America’s Consortium for Electric Skyways (“ACES”) with Archer Aviation and Macquarie Capital. ACES reinforces BETA’s strategy of building the industry’s leading interoperable charging network while generating infrastructure revenue today.
• Advanced Certification Across BETA’s Common Platform: Reached agreement with the FAA on the H500A’s continued-rotation compliance approach, completed durability and lightning-strike teardowns with strong results and substantially completed software requirements-based testing, with formal FAA testing underway. For the CX300, BETA closed the Requirements Definition phase, receiving FAA acceptance of the aircraft’s complete set of compliance requirements and creating meaningful carryover to the A250 program.
• Strengthened Commercial Backlog: Following successful cargo flight demonstrations completed across Scotland, Loganair signed a term sheet for five CX300 aircraft, with options for five additional aircraft. The order demonstrates BETA’s strategy of proving aircraft performance through real-world operations that convert directly into commercial demand.

Financial Highlights

• Q2 Revenues of $14.7 million
• Q2 Net loss of ($148.8) million
• Q2 Adjusted EBITDA of ($109.8) million

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were $14.7 million, compared to $6.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Product revenues and service revenues were $3.3 million and $11.4 million, respectively.

Operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were $166.1 million, including research and development expenses of $122.4 million. Non-cash warrant expense related to the collaborative arrangement with GE Aerospace of $5.7 million and in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) expense of $16.1 million related to an acquisition, were both embedded in research and development expenses in the quarter. Investments in research and development enable our certification programs and the further advancement of our enabling technologies.

Net loss and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were ($148.8) million and ($109.8) million, respectively.

Capital expenditures for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were $41.1 million, compared to $6.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,479.5 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $174.5 million as of June 30, 2025, as a result of successful private financings and the proceeds from our IPO.

Financial Outlook

BETA increases our full year 2026 revenues to be in the range of $42 million to $50 million and updates full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of ($400) million to ($445) 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.

BETA will host a live webcast and conference call at 8:30 am ET today to discuss the quarter’s financial and operating results.

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.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 9, 2026, as such descriptions may be updated or amended by the factors that will be included in the 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.

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. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, warrant expense, acquisition-related expense, loss on disposal of property and equipment, and IPO 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.
