EL DORADO HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Blaize Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BZAI, NASDAQ: BZAIW) (“Blaize,” the “Company,” “we,” us,” and “our”), a leader in programmable, energy-efficient edge AI computing, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, marking another quarter of accelerated execution as the company advances from Hybrid AI validation to significant deployment.

In Q3, Blaize achieved $11.9 million in revenue, reflecting performance on major customer programs and expanding adoption of its Hybrid AI platform across key regions. The Company advanced its commercial deployments, strengthened partnerships across South Asia and the Middle East, and expanded its ecosystem through new collaborations in sovereign and industrial AI infrastructure.

Business Highlights

• Technology Progress: Continued progress in the commercial rollout of the Blaize AI Platform, with orchestration enhancements improving model optimization and application management. Live demonstrations at GITEX Global 2025 showcased real-world Hybrid AI performance across city safety, retail, and autonomous mobility applications.
• Sovereign AI Infrastructure Expansion: Began deployment of the previously announced AI-powered safety and traffic management program with end-customer Yotta Data Services (Yotta), a leading cloud infrastructure provider in India. Blaize also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Yotta to extend deployment from South Asia into the Middle East.
• Asia Hybrid AI Scale-Up: Initiated fulfillment of the $120 million multi-year contract with Starshine, supporting Hybrid AI deployments across smart urban infrastructure, agriculture, and industrial applications in Asia, enabling scalable, energy-efficient intelligence for city and enterprise systems, with additional regional opportunities planned for 2026.
• Middle East Strategic Partnership: Formed a new strategic collaboration with Technology Control Company (TCC), in Saudi Arabia, to build advanced AI infrastructure and accelerate smart transformation across industries in the Gulf.
• Ecosystem Expansion: Signed a strategic MOU with REACH Digital, the digital-transformation arm of REACH Group, a subsidiary of International Holding Company (IHC), during GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai. The partnership leverages Blaize’s Hybrid AI platform with REACH Digital’s regional influence to build sovereign, interconnected AI ecosystems that service both sectoral and cross-sectoral domains across the Middle East.
• Strategic Investment: After the quarter, we announced a $30.0 million private placement led by Polar Asset Management Partners, a leading institutional investor aligned with Blaize’s long-term vision. The proceeds strengthen the company’s financial position and support continued commercialization, market expansion, and next-generation chip development.

Company Outlook and Execution Readiness

Blaize expects continued momentum through Q4 2025 and into FY 2026, driven by disciplined execution, expanding platform-driven revenue, and strong customer demand. Blaize’s Hybrid AI platform engagements continue with Yotta in India and Starshine in Asia, while new collaborations with TCC and REACH Digital in the Middle East highlight growing regional interest and validate the platform’s relevance to emerging AI infrastructure needs.

Blaize continues to strengthen its operations while advancing its integrated AI platform portfolio, supported by strategic investment in next-generation silicon and software innovation. In 2026, the company aims to accelerate commercialization of Practical AI globally and continue to contribute to the global AI inference infrastructure build-out, including opportunities with cloud and communications service providers driving next-generation data center expansion.

Munagala added: “With accelerating deployments, deepening global partnerships, and a strengthened capital position, Blaize enters its next phase of scale with clarity and confidence. Continued development of our next-generation Blaize chip further strengthens our position in the evolution of data center and inference ecosystems, underscoring our commitment in delivering efficient, deployable AI that drives business impact.”

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement Blaize’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), management utilizes earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash or other items that management views as distorting operating results period over period (“Adjusted EBITDA”), non-GAAP research and development expense and non-GAAP sales, general and administrative expense, which are financial measures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used to evaluate operating profitability on a more variable cost basis. Non-GAAP research and development expense and non-GAAP sales, general and administrative expense are used to evaluate financial performance. These non-GAAP measures facilitate a more direct comparison of our operating performance and financial performance relative to competitors as well as assist us in evaluating performance consistently across periods by excluding the impact of certain items that we believe do not directly reflect our core operations and are therefore not considered in measuring ongoing performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, certain items and other adjustments that are excluded from the Company’s assessment of ongoing operating performance, including but not limited to (a) stock-based compensation; inventory cost realignments; and (c) other expenses. We define non-GAAP research and development expense and non-GAAP sales, general and administrative expense as the related GAAP expense less certain non-cash items, including but not limited to stock-based compensation. We believe these measures are valuable to management and that providing these measures allows management, investors and other users of our financial information to more fully and accurately assess Blaize’s performance. The measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP measures such as net income (loss) or other financial statement data presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements as an indicator of our financial performance or liquidity. The measures presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies and may not be directly comparable to that of other companies.

In reliance on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we have not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of 2025 or full fiscal year 2025 included above because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting, with reasonable certainty, certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Consequently, we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be misleading to investors. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to Blaize without unreasonable effort. For the same reasons, Blaize is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. We expect the variability of these excluded items may have an unpredictable, and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to Blaize, including statements regarding the engagements with Yotta, Starshine, TCC, and REACH Digital, or the ultimate value of those contracts, regional growth, the expectations for the Hybrid AI rollout, the projected growth of Hybrid AI, the industry in which Blaize operates, market opportunities, and product offerings. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “target,” “seek” or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including but not limited to: (i) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; (ii) the ability to maintain compliance with stock exchange listing standards; (iii) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination of Blaize and BurTech Acquisition Corp., which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (iv) the ability of the Company to successfully market its products and services; (v) the ability of the Company to successfully deploy its technologies across customer settings; (vi) changes in applicable law or regulations; (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been or may be instituted against Blaize; (viii) the effects of competition on Blaize’s future business; (ix) the ability of the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing; and (x) those factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 14, 2025, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 13, 2025, and other documents filed by Blaize from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Blaize assumes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Blaize does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.

The financial projections in this release are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Blaize’s control. While such projections are necessarily speculative, Blaize believes that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of financial information or projections in this press release should not be regarded as an indication that Blaize, or its representatives and advisors, considered or consider the information or projections to be a reliable prediction of future events. The independent registered public accounting firm of Blaize has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this press release and, accordingly, has not expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this press release.

We believe that these expenses are not reflective of our ongoing operating performance and excluding these costs provides a more meaningful comparison of our results of operations over comparative periods.
