**Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.**

On July 17, 2025, BlackSky Technology Inc. (the "Company") announced the following preliminary estimated selected unaudited financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

| Revenue | $22200 | $24938 | $51744 | $49174 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Imagery & software analytical services | 17982 | 17469 | 34811 | 35302 |

---

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, revenue from imagery & software analytical services was $18.0 million, compared to $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Revenue remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, in part as a result of customers maintaining their utilization rates on the Company's Gen-2 satellites and deferring potential utilization increases until the launch of its Gen-3 satellites.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, revenue from professional & engineering services was $4.2 million, compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in revenue is primarily from differences in the progress of revenue recognition related to long-term contracts that are in various stages of completion. Professional and engineering services revenue contains estimates that can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied in a prior period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, revenue from imagery & software analytical services was $34.8 million, compared to $35.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, revenue from professional & engineering services was $16.9 million, compared to $13.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in revenue is primarily due to a new contract for the delivery of one Earth observation satellite.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $94.9 million, compared to $42.3 million as of June 30, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to equity issuances via a public offering and the at-the-market offering program for gross proceeds of $90.0 million. This was partially offset by normal course operating expenses and cash outflows for satellite procurement.

These financial results are only preliminary estimates and are based on information available to management as of July 17, 2025, and these expectations could change. The Company's actual financial results as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are subject to the completion of the Company's financial statements as of and for such period and will be impacted by certain estimates and assumptions. There can be no assurance that the Company's actual results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 will not differ from the preliminary financial results presented herein, and such changes could be material. The preliminary financial results presented herein should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance

------

with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are not indicative of the results to be achieved for any future periods. Neither the entity's independent accountants, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the preliminary second quarter 2025 financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the preliminary second quarter 2025 financial information. Complete quarterly results as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 will be announced during the Company's second quarter financial results earnings conference call and included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

**Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.**

*Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025*

As of June 30, 2025, there were 34,853,623 shares of the Company's Class A common stock outstanding, which includes the issuance of 3,081,210 shares of the Company's Class A common stock pursuant to its at-the-market offering program ("ATM Program") subsequent to March 31, 2025 but excludes 3,544,156 shares of the Company's Class A common stock reserved for issuance in connection with the Company's ATM Program.

*Revised financial guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2025*

Based on information and expectations as of July 17, 2025, the Company is revising certain financial guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2025, previously issued on March 6, 2025, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Full year 2025 revenue is expected to be between $105 million and $130 million. The reduction in revenue guidance is primarily driven by anticipated impacts of U.S. Government budget uncertainties and volatility in contract timing in the third and fourth quarters of 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between breakeven and $10 million. The reduction in Adjusted EBITDA guidance is primarily driven by the anticipated impact of reduced revenue from the U.S. Government and the Company's previously announced decision to accelerate AROS investments.

The Company is maintaining its previously issued guidance on capital expenditures, expected to be between $60 million and $70 million for the full year ending December 31, 2025.

*Maintenance of long-term targets previously reported*

The Company is maintaining the long-term (three-to-five year) targets previously reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2024, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Year-over-year revenue growth is expected to be between 20% to 30%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Imagery and software gross margin is expected to be in excess of 80%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total gross margin is expected to be in excess of 75%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be in excess of 40%.

------

Our long-term targets are not a projection or forecast and certain occurrences, either in our business or industry-wide, may cause actual results to vary materially from such targets.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures*

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss attributable to the Company before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as significant non-cash and/or non-recurring expenses as management believes these items are not as useful in evaluating the Company's core operating performance. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense; unrealized (gain) loss on certain warrants/shares classified as derivative liabilities; severance; impairment losses; (income) loss on equity method investment; investment loss on short-term investments; transaction costs associated with debt and equity financings; non-recurring transaction costs; severance; and litigation, settlements, and related costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by taking the ratio between Adjusted EBITDA and revenue and expressing such ratio as a percentage. Imagery and software analytical service gross margin is determined by taking the Imagery and software analytical revenue for the period, subtracting the Imagery and software analytical service costs excluding depreciation and amortization and dividing that figure by the Imagery and software analytical service revenue for the period. Total gross margin is determined by taking the total revenue for period, subtracting the Imagery and software analytical service costs excluding depreciation and amortization and subtracting the Professional and engineering service costs excluding depreciation and amortization and dividing that figure by the total revenue for the period. None of the non-GAAP financial performance measures should be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP.

The Company is not providing a reconciliation of each of (i) projected Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) its long-term target for imagery and software gross margin, (iii) its long-term target for total gross margin, or (iv) projected Adjusted EBITDA margin, to the most comparable GAAP measure, as applicable, because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items necessary to calculate such reconciliations without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, which are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP results.

The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

Certain statements and other information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute forward-looking statements under applicable securities laws. Words such as "may", "will", "could", "should", "would", "plan", "potential", "intend", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "future", "opportunity", "will likely result", or "expect" and other words, terms, and phrases of similar meaning are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Company's revised financial guidance and expected capital expenditures for the full year ending December 31, 2025, and the Company's long-term targets, are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or expectations expressed in this Current Report on Form 8-K. As a result, although the Company's management believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because the Company can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. The risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, factors such as long and unpredictable sales cycles, customer demand, and the Company's ability to estimate resources for fixed-price
