“Our record financial performance in 2025, during a statistically below-average fire year, underscores the strength of our business model, growing diversification of our revenue stream and the benefits of longer-term contacts for our aircraft,” shared Sam Davis, Bridger’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our customers’ growing emphasis on early detection, combined with our outstanding team, helped drive the increased prepositioning and enhanced utilization of our fleet in 2025. As we complete fleet maintenance to ensure our year-round readiness, we are well positioned for another record year, both operationally and financially. Our new credit facility, including a $100 million Draw Down, further enables us to acquire new aircraft to better fight against the growing threat of wildfire, fulfill customer requests, and advance our mission to protect lives, property, critical infrastructure, and the environment.”
Fourth Quarter 2025 Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $8.5 million compared to $15.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding $0.8 million of revenue for return to service work performed on the four Spanish Super Scoopers as part of our partnership agreement with MAB Funding, LLC (“MAB”) in the fourth quarter of 2025, revenue was $7.7 million, compared to $10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 after excluding $5.1 million of revenue for return to service work performed under the MAB agreement. The reduction in revenue year over year was also related to later deployment of Super Scoopers in the fourth quarter of 2024, into November.
Cost of revenues was $14.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $15.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $13.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting an increase in the fair value of our warrants and an increase in earnout consideration compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $6.0 million compared to $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Other income was $10.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to a gain of $16.9 million related to the sale-leaseback transaction partially offset by a loss of $7.8 million on the extinguishment of debt in conjunction with our debt refinancing in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Net loss was $15.1 million, or ($0.40) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to a net loss of $12.8 million, or (0.36) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was negative ($9.5) million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to negative ($2.9) million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Definitions and reconciliations of net (loss) income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, are attached as Exhibit A to this release.
As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $31.4 million compared to $39.3 million as of December 31, 2024.
Full Year Results
Revenue was $122.8 million compared to $98.6 million in 2024, representing an increase of 25%. Excluding $14.0 million of revenue for return to service work performed on the four Spanish Super Scoopers as part of our partnership agreement with MAB in 2025, revenue was $108.8 million compared to $88.5 million in 2024 after excluding $10.1 million for return to service work performed under the MAB agreement. The increase in revenue was driven by increased activity for our Super Scoopers and surveillance aircraft in 2025, despite what was generally a below average wildfire year.
Cost of revenues was $71.1 million in 2025 compared to $57.5 million in 2024. Cost of revenues for 2025 included an increase of $5.4 million of expenses associated with the return-to-service work for the Spanish Super Scoopers compared to 2024.
SG&A expenses were $36.3 million in 2025 compared to $35.8 million for 2024, reflecting an increase in the fair value of our warrants partially offset by a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Interest expense for 2025 was $23.3 million compared to $23.7 million in 2024.
Other income was $11.8 million in 2025 compared to $2.1 million in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to a gain of $16.9 million related to the sale-leaseback transaction partially offset by a loss of $7.8 million on the extinguishment of debt in conjunction with our debt refinancing in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Net income was $4.1 million in 2025 compared to a net loss of $15.6 million in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $45.3 million in 2025, compared to $37.3 million in 2024.
Business Outlook
With the addition of four Air Surveillance aircraft, including two that were previously leased with two remaining years on contract, and the first two Spanish Scoopers added to our fleet, we anticipate revenue of $135 million to $145 million in 2026, up 29% at the midpoint of the range and excluding revenue associated with return to service work in 2025. This is expected to drive Adjusted EBITDA to $55 million to $60 million, growth of 27% at the midpoint of the range.

EXHIBIT A
Non-GAAP Results and Reconciliations
Although Bridger believes that net income or loss, as determined in accordance with GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure, we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as key profitability measures to assess the performance of our business. Bridger believes these measures help illustrate underlying trends in our business and use the measures to establish budgets and operational goals, and communicate internally and externally, in managing our business and evaluating its performance. Bridger also believes these measures help investors compare our operating performance with its results in prior periods in a way that is consistent with how management evaluates such performance.
Each of the profitability measures described below is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. Such measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider any of such measures in isolation or as substitutes for our results as reported under GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude items that can have a significant effect on our profit or loss and should, therefore, be used only in conjunction with our GAAP profit or loss for the period. Bridger’s management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Bridger does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking measures where Bridger believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors and is unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts, such as acquisition costs, integration costs and loss on the disposal or obsolescence of aging aircraft. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred and are out of Bridger’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, Bridger is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA<
EBITDA is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents net income or loss for the period before the impact of the interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. EBITDA eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting financing expenses), the cost and age of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the extent to which intangible assets are identifiable (affecting relative amortization expense).
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents EBITDA before certain items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses. During the periods presented, we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA offering costs related to financing and other transactions, which include costs that are required to be expensed in accordance with GAAP. In addition, we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA non-cash stock-based compensation, business development and integration expenses, the change in the fair value of earnout consideration, the change in the fair value of warrants, the gain on non-recurring transactions and non-recurring organizational development costs. Our management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future.
The following table reconciles net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months and years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024.
