BETA Technologies (NYSE:BETA) Posts Earnings Results, Misses Expectations By $0.08 EPS

BETA Technologies (NYSE:BETA) issued its earnings results on Wednesday. The company reported ($0.64) EPS for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of ($0.56) by ($0.08), FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $14.66 million during the quarter.

Here are the key takeaways from BETA Technologies’ conference call:

• Q2 revenue rose 146% year over year to $14.7 million, exceeding the company’s $8 million–$11 million forecast, driven mainly by GE Aerospace’s EPFD program and Florida charger deliveries. BETA raised full-year revenue guidance to $42 million–$50 million.
• BETA reported meaningful certification progress, resolving a key FAA policy issue for the H500A motor and completing requirements definition for the CX300 aircraft. The company said CX300 work can proceed independently of motor certification and will support the subsequent ALIA-250 program.
• Commercialization advanced with the launch of eIPP operations, including United Therapeutics’ first organ-transport flight, which BETA said pulled commercialization forward by more than a year. Additional eIPP operations in Louisiana and Texas are expected over the next four to six weeks.
• The aircraft backlog reached 1,001 aircraft valued at $3.9 billion, nearly achieving BETA’s $4 billion year-end target, while the company expanded its charging and component businesses. BETA also unveiled the hybrid-electric, autonomous MV250 defense aircraft and cited strong military interest.
• BETA ended the quarter with approximately $1.5 billion in cash and adjusted EBITDA of negative $110 million, with full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance now ranging from negative $400 million to negative $445 million. Near-term spending is expected to remain elevated as the company accelerates certification, vertical integration, and production readiness.
