[8-K/A] Backblaze, Inc. Amends Material Event Report

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Backblaze, Inc. (BLZE) filed an 8-K/A on 7 Aug 2025 to amend its original current report. The sole change is a corrected Exhibit 99.1 press release, which now states that customers contributing more than $50,000 in annual recurring revenue grew 30 % year-over-year in Q2 under the “Up-Market Momentum” section. No other revisions were made. The exhibit is furnished under Item 9.01 and is not deemed “filed” for Exchange Act purposes, limiting its legal incorporation into future Securities Act or Exchange Act filings.

Positive

• 30 % YoY growth in customers generating more than $50 k ARR indicates strengthening traction with higher-value accounts.

Negative

• Need for correction of previously issued press release may raise minor questions about internal review accuracy.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR — Minor amendment; highlights 30 % YoY growth in larger-ticket customers, no other financial impact.

The 8-K/A merely corrects one metric within the Q2 business highlights. A 30 % YoY increase in >$50 k ARR accounts signals traction with mid-market and enterprise segments, but the filing provides no revenue, margin or guidance data to validate broader growth. Because the change is furnished, it carries minimal regulatory weight and should not affect consensus models materially.

Corporate Governance Specialist

TL;DR — Administrative correction; limited governance or compliance risk.

The company promptly issued an amended 8-K to rectify a single figure, demonstrating adherence to disclosure best practices. The error was non-financial and does not alter prior statements, mitigating potential liability. Investors should view this as routine housekeeping rather than a red flag.
