All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “expect” and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements regarding:

•our ability to expand our services and offerings to customers both domestically and internationally;

•our ability to expand within our current customer base;

•our expectations about market trends and needs;

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk

Table of Contents

Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, except as required by law.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2026

1. Organization and Business

BlackSky Technology Inc. (“BlackSky” or the “Company”), headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, is a space technology company that delivers real-time imagery, analytics and high-frequency monitoring along with mission solutions offerings that allow customers the ability to acquire, own, and operate their own customized satellite(s) and space-to-ground system(s). The Company owns and operates an advanced purpose-built commercial, real-time intelligence system that combines the power of the BlackSky Spectra tasking and analytics software platform and the Company's proprietary high-resolution low earth orbit (“LEO”) small satellite constellation. The constellation is optimized to cost-efficiently capture imagery to 35 cm at high revisit rates where and when customers need it. The BlackSky Spectra software platform processes millions of observations a day by integrating data from the Company's proprietary satellite constellation and from other third-party sensors such as synthetic aperture radar and radio frequency satellites, millions of GPS-enabled terrestrial data sources and Internet of Things (“IoT”) connected devices. BlackSky Spectra applies advanced, proprietary artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”) techniques to process, analyze, and transform these raw feeds into actionable intelligence via alerts, information, and insights. Customers can access BlackSky Spectra's software platform and its data and analytics through easy-to-use web services or through platform application programming interfaces. BlackSky delivers a comprehensive suite of space-based intelligence products and services through three integrated revenue streams—space-based intelligence & AI services, mission solutions, and advanced technology programs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company issued and sold shares as part of the Company's at-the-market (“ATM”) offering programs. The Company sold 4.2 million shares from the ATM offering programs at an average purchase price per share of $39.41, resulting in gross proceeds of $165.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The transaction costs of $5.0 million for the equity issuances incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which primarily consisted of commissions, have been recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and balance sheets.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The Company has prepared its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, that are stated at fair value. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts presented in the Notes pertain to the Company’s continuing operations.

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company reclassified its captions on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss to better align with the Company’s increasing portfolio of mission solutions product offerings and advanced technology program service offerings. Revenue and costs that were previously classified as imagery & software analytical services are now classified as space-based intelligence & AI services. Professional & engineering services are now either classified as mission solutions if they are related to the Company's product offerings or advanced technology programs if they are related to the Company's service offerings. As a result, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the amounts presented have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In addition, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingencies at the reporting date, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates made by the Company include, but are not limited to, revenue and associated cost recognition, the collectability of accounts receivable, the recoverability and useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, the valuation of equity warrants and warrant liabilities, fair value estimates, the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, the provision for income taxes, the incremental borrowing rate to measure the operating lease right of use assets, the effective interest rate of the vendor financing agreement, the capitalization of interest, stock-based compensation, and the obsolescence of satellite work in process and inventory.

Restricted Cash

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s restricted cash balance was $10.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The Company classifies cash as restricted when the cash is unavailable for withdrawal or usage for general operations. As of June 30, 2026, $9.5 million of the Company's restricted cash balance was held primarily in term deposits that served as compensating balances for letters of credit required under contracts with certain customers.

Investments

The Company invests in short-term investments, which generally consist of A-1, or higher, rated corporate debt and governmental securities. The investments are classified as held-to-maturity and have a stated maturity date of one year or less from the balance sheet date. Any investments with original maturities less than three months are considered cash equivalents.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s short-term investments had a carrying value, representing amortized cost, of $197.3 million and $82.0 million, respectively, and an aggregate fair value, representing a Level 1 measurement based off of the fair value hierarchy, of $197.1 million and $82.1 million, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are production costs associated with anticipated future revenue contracts. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $6.2 million of work in process inventory. Inventories are stated on a consistent basis at the lower of historical cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company estimates future sales and will write down excess inventories as needed. The Company had no reserve for inventory as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company’s estimates of future sales are based on confirmed and expected customer contracts. The carrying values of inventories approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Table of Contents

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The process for analyzing the fair value measurement of certain financial instruments on a recurring, or non-recurring, basis includes significant judgment and estimates of inputs including, but not limited to, share price, volatility, discount for lack of marketability, application of an appropriate discount rate, and probability of liquidating events. The Company utilizes the market valuation methodology and specific option pricing methodology, such as the Monte Carlo simulation, to value its more complex financial instruments, whereas the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value standard common stock warrants and common stock options.

The framework for measuring fair value specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 Inputs. Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs. Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 Inputs. Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the Company’s own assumptions on what assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from the sale of space-based intelligence & AI services, mission solutions, and advanced technology programs. Revenue generated from space-based intelligence & AI services and advanced technology programs is classified as service revenue and revenue generated from mission solutions is classified as product revenue. Space-based intelligence & AI services revenue is primarily generated from subscription contracts with domestic and international government agencies and includes imagery, data, software, and analytics. This revenue is primarily recognized from services rendered under non-cancellable subscription order agreements or, in limited circumstances, variable not-to-exceed purchase orders. Mission solutions revenue is generated from cost-plus contracts and firm fixed price long-term engineering and development contracts. Advanced technology programs revenue is primarily generated from cost-plus contracts, time and materials basis contracts and firm-fixed price service solutions contracts.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606”), the Company uses the five-step model of identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations contained in a contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price, and determining when performance obligations are satisfied. Application of this model requires the application of significant judgment, as further discussed below.

Revenue is measured as the fair value of consideration received or receivable and net of discounts. The Company applies a policy election to exclude transaction taxes collected from customer sales when the tax is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction. The Company estimates any variable consideration, and whether the transaction price is constrained, upon execution of each contract. Variable consideration is estimated as the most likely amount that is dependent upon the occurrence or non-

Table of Contents

occurrence of a future event. We continually review, and may reassess, the transaction price based on forecasted service level provisions within a limited amount of our customer purchase orders, costs incurred to date and historical experience. As a result, we may update our estimated constraints on revenue, which are generally provided on a prospective basis. The Company did not have any active contracts with significant variable consideration as of June 30, 2026.

Space-Based Intelligence and AI Services Revenue

Space-based intelligence & AI services revenue include imagery delivered from the Company’s proprietary satellite constellation and BlackSky Spectra software platform and, in limited cases, imagery directly uploaded to certain customers. Customers can directly task the Company's proprietary satellite constellation to collect and deliver imagery over specific locations, sites and regions that are critical to their operations. The Company offers customers several service level subscription options that include on-demand tasking or multi-year assured access programs. Assured access customers can secure priority access and imaging capacity at a premium over a region of interest on a take or pay basis. Imagery revenue is recognized over the subscription period based on the promise to continuously provide contractual satellite capacity for tasked imagery or analytics at the discretion of the customer. These products, based on the context of the contract, are capable of being distinct performance obligations.

The Company leverages proprietary AI and ML algorithms to analyze data coming from both the Company’s proprietary sensor network and third-party space and terrestrial sources to provide hard-to-get data, insights, and analytics for customers. The Company continues to integrate and enhance its offerings by performing contract development, while retaining the intellectual property rights. The Company also offers services related to object, change and anomaly detection, site monitoring, and enhanced analytics services that can detect key pattern of life changes in critical locations such as ports, airports, and construction sites; retail activity; commodities stockpiles; and other sites that contain critical commodities and supply chain inventory.

The Company's analytics services are also offered on a similar subscription basis and provide customers with access to the Company's site monitoring, event monitoring and global data services. Analogous with the recognition of revenue for imagery, software analytical services revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period.

Mission Solutions Revenue

The Company provides mission solutions, which develop and deliver customized advanced satellite and payload systems for a limited number of customers, leveraging the Company’s capabilities in mission systems engineering and operations. These offerings furnish government customers with an end-to-end pathway to customized sovereign space-based intelligence capabilities, enabling nations to accelerate the development, launch, and operation of their own space programs with full autonomy and control, ground station operations, and software and systems development. Mission solutions revenue is generated from cost-plus contracts and firm fixed price long-term engineering and development contracts. Mission Solutions is often purchased in conjunction with our imagery and analytics to address interim or additional capacity or capability needs, or coupled with our advanced technology programs to further optimize a customer’s experience.

Advanced Technology Programs Revenue

The Company offers various advanced technology programs, including technology enabled professional service solutions to support customer-specific software development requests, integration, testing, and training. These services, based on the context of the contract, are capable of being distinct performance obligations.

Table of Contents

Advanced technology programs revenue is generated from cost-plus contracts, time and materials basis contracts and firm-fixed price service solutions contracts. For contracts structured as cost-plus or on a time and materials basis, the Company recognizes revenue based on the right-to-invoice practical expedient, as the Company is contractually able to invoice the customer based on the control transferred to the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date.

Estimate at Completion ("EAC") Adjustments

For firm fixed price mission solutions and advanced technology programs contracts, the Company recognizes revenue over time using the cost to cost input method to measure progress to complete the performance obligation. A performance obligation's EAC includes all direct costs such as labor, fringe, materials, subcontract costs and overhead. The Company uses significant judgment to estimate total costs at completion on a performance obligation by performance obligation basis including, but not limited to, labor productivity, program schedule, technical risk analysis, complexity, scope of the work and identified risks. Due to the continuous nature of the work, as well as when a change in circumstances warrants a modification, the EAC is reviewed and may result in cumulative changes to the contract profit. The Company recognizes changes in estimated contract sales or costs and the resulting changes in contract profit on a cumulative basis in the period in which the change is identified. If, at any time, the estimate of contract profitability indicates a probable anticipated loss on a contract, the Company recognizes the total loss as and when known. The following table presents the effect of aggregate net EAC adjustments on the Company's contracts:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2026(1)		2025		2026		2025
	(in thousands)
Revenue	$	1,794	$	(1,023)	$	1,649	$	(1,229)
Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	0.05	$	(0.03)	$	0.04	$	(0.04)

(1) During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded favorable EAC adjustments of $2.9 million and $0.8 million on two mission solutions programs due to labor efficiencies and the retirement of risk. The Company also recorded an unfavorable EAC adjustment of $1.9 million on a mission solutions program due to an increase in estimated labor hours on the project. The remaining EAC adjustments are not individually significant to the Company.

Costs and Expenses

Space-based intelligence & AI services costs primarily include cloud computing and hosting services, internal labor to support the ground station network and space operations, and third-party data and imagery. Mission solutions costs primarily include the cost of direct materials to build and test specific components, such as the communications system, payloads, and sensor integration, as well as internal labor for design and engineering in support of long-term development contracts for customized customer satellites and payload systems. The Company also recognizes internal labor costs and external subcontract labor costs for its customer-centric software products. Advanced technology programs costs primarily include the cost of internal labor for service solutions that enhance customer adoption and operational integration of our technology.

Additionally, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for those employees who provide direct labor to support the Company's product and service offerings.

Sponsor Shares

On September 9, 2021, BlackSky's predecessor company, Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. (“Osprey”), completed its merger (the “Merger”) with Osprey Technology Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osprey, and BlackSky Holdings, Inc. Osprey pre-Merger Class B common shares were exchanged for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the "Sponsor Shares") upon completion of the Merger. The Company accounted for the Sponsor Shares in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, under which the Sponsor Shares did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as derivative liabilities in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026. The Sponsor Shares are adjusted to fair value at each reporting period and any net gains or losses in the change in fair value

Table of Contents

are recognized in loss on derivatives in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees, for which the grant date fair value is equal to the fair value of the Class A common stock on the date of grant. The Company uses the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) trading price as the fair value of the Class A common stock for valuation purposes. For all awards where vesting is only subject to a service condition, including those subject to graded vesting, the Company has elected to use the straight-line method to recognize the fair value as compensation cost over the requisite service period. Expense related to stock-based payments is classified in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based upon the classification of each employee's cash compensation.

Stock Options

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value all options, including stock options and options issued under the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), and the straight-line method to recognize the fair value as compensation cost over the requisite service period. The fair value of each option is estimated as of the date of grant. The Company did not grant any stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

3. Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”)

Accounting Standards Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the disclosure impact of ASU 2024-03; however, it is not expected that the standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs, primarily modernizing the guidance to reflect the software development approaches currently used. ASU 2025-06 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is in the early stages of evaluating the adoption impact and cannot yet reasonably estimate the impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11 Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. ASU 2025-11 clarifies the applicability of Topic 270 and the form and content of interim financial statements. In addition, ASU 2025-11 requires entities to disclose material events occurring since the last annual reporting period. ASU 2025-11 will be effective for interim periods beginning January 1, 2028, and can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is in the early stages of evaluating the adoption impact and cannot yet reasonably estimate the impact to the consolidated financial statements.

4. Segment Information

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) as defined under GAAP, who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, has determined the allocation of resources and assessed performance based upon the consolidated results of the Company. The CODM has utilized consolidated net loss to assess financial

Table of Contents

performance and allocate resources. Accordingly, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company was deemed to be comprised of only one operating segment and one reportable segment. This segment, which comprised the continuing operations of the Company’s single operating and reportable segment, provided space-based intelligence products and services through three integrated revenue streams—space-based intelligence & AI services, mission solutions, and advanced technology programs—along with related costs, primarily consisting of cloud computing and hosting services, direct materials to build and test specific components, and internal labor for service solutions that enhance customer adoption and operational integration of the Company's technology.

on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption and (2) certain liquidity conditions are satisfied, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change or our issuance of a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert such Convertible Senior Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or notice of redemption. Lastly, on August 6, 2030, each holder shall have the option to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of their Convertible Senior Notes, or any portion of the principal amount in multiples of $1,000, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

Satellite Launch Vendor Financing

The Company entered into a vendor financing agreement to fund the costs of multiple satellite launches providing for $27.0 million, for which payments accrue interest at 12.6% per annum. Then, in November 2025, the Company entered into an additional agreement for multiple satellite launches providing for $30.6 million, for which payments accrue interest at 9.50% per annum. A portion of the vendor financing agreements can be drawn down equally per satellite launch and will be repaid quarterly on a pro-rata basis across a three-year period after each successful launch milestone. Interest begins to accrue on each launch date.

The Company may prepay either agreement at any time until the maturity date without premium or penalty. The outstanding debt related to the vendor financing agreements is guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $13.2 million of additional debt and repaid $5.0 million of principal and interest related to the satellite launch vendor financing agreements.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, that, by their nature, are inherently unpredictable. Regardless of outcome, litigation and other legal proceedings can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

On May 7, 2024, a putative class action relating to the Merger of Legacy BlackSky on September 9, 2021 with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osprey was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The action was captioned Drulias v. Osprey Sponsor II, LLC, et al. (“Drulias”) (Del. Ch. 2024). The Drulias complaint asserted breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims against the former directors of Osprey (the “Osprey Board”); the former officers of Osprey; and Osprey Sponsor II, LLC (the “Sponsor”); and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty claims against HEPCO Capital Management, LLC; JANA Partners LLC; and a director of Legacy BlackSky. The Drulias complaint sought, among other things, damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. The terms of the Merger required the Company to indemnify the directors of Osprey.

the former officers of Osprey, and the Sponsor; aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty claims against BlackSky Holdings, Inc. and certain directors and officers of Legacy BlackSky; and unjust enrichment claims against an Osprey director. The Cheriyala complaint sought, among other things, damages and attorneys’ fees and costs.

The Court of Chancery granted Drulias’ motion to (i) consolidate the Drulias and Cheriyala actions, and (ii) appoint Drulias as lead plaintiff, and Drulias’ counsel as lead counsel, in the consolidated action. On April 15, 2025, Drulias sought to withdraw as the lead plaintiff. That same day, Patrick Plumley (“Plumley”) moved to intervene as a plaintiff in the consolidated action. The Court of Chancery granted Cheriyala’s and Plumley’s stipulation to (i) permit Drulias to withdraw as the lead plaintiff, (ii) permit Plumley to intervene as a plaintiff, and (iii) appoint Cheriyala and Plumley as co-lead plaintiffs, and Cheriyala’s and Plumley’s counsel as co-lead counsel, in the consolidated action.

The parties attended private mediation on September 9, 2025. The parties thereafter reached an agreement on a stipulation of settlement memorializing the terms of the settlement, which was filed with the Court of Chancery on January 7, 2026 (the “Settlement”). In the Settlement, the parties agreed, among other things, that (i) the consolidated actions would be dismissed with prejudice, (ii) the defendants and the Company would be released from claims asserted in the consolidated actions or that could have been asserted in the actions relating to, among other things, the Merger, and (iii) in exchange, members of the class would be paid settlement consideration of $7.5 million, $7.4 million of which was funded from insurance proceeds pursuant to a plan of allocation set forth in the stipulation.

A hearing with the Court of Chancery to consider approval of the Settlement and related matters was held on April 17, 2026. During the hearing, the Court (i) certified the consolidated actions as class actions, (ii) approved the Settlement, including the plan of allocation, (iii) approved an award of fees and expenses to plaintiffs’ counsel payable out of the settlement fund, and (iv) approved the payment of an incentive fee to plaintiffs. The Court of Chancery entered its final judgment on April 21, 2026. The costs of this case, including the pending Settlement, have been substantially funded from insurance proceeds and did not have a material impact on the Company's operations or financial condition.

Other Commitments

During 2025, the Company entered into a commitment for non-refundable multi-launch and integration services as well as a commercial agreement with financing terms for these launches. The launch services agreement contains a minimum commitment that was satisfied as of June 30, 2026 by the Company's $11.9 million debt under the commercial agreement. See Note 11—"Debt and Other Financing" for further detail on the satellite launch vendor financing.

The Company has entered into various operational commitments for the next several years totaling $24.8 million as of June 30, 2026.

Components of Operating Results

Revenue

Our revenue is generated by selling space-based intelligence & AI services, primarily through our BlackSky Spectra software platform, and by providing mission solutions and advanced technology programs to strategic customers on a project basis. Due to shifting geopolitical realities, international defense spending has grown faster than U.S. spending in recent periods, with a significant emphasis on development of national space capabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue generated from international customers accounted for 60% of our total revenue, as opposed to 48% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

•Space-Based Intelligence and AI Services Revenue: We offer high-revisit, high-resolution, satellite imaging products including dawn-to-dusk, 35 cm resolution electro-optical and nighttime imagery. Through our BlackSky Spectra software platform, customers can directly task our constellation to collect and deliver imagery over specific locations, sites, and regions that are critical to their operations. Customers also have access to multi-frame area 2x1 to capture areas larger than the single frame scene size, like large airports or large ports, burst to analyze motion with five frames collected in a single satellite pass, and stereo pairs (two frames) or sets (five frames) to build and update 3D products on short timelines. All imagery products are included in our On-Demand and Assured subscription plans. BlackSky also offers non-Earth imagery services for monitoring orbiting spacecraft and other objects of interest.

Our AI-generated analytics are also offered on a subscription basis and provide customers with automated access to our site monitoring, event monitoring, and global data services. Our object change and anomaly detection, site monitoring, and enhanced analytics services can detect key pattern-of-life changes in critical locations. These critical locations include infrastructure, such as maritime ports, airfields, and construction sites; retail activity; commodities stockpiles; and other sites that contain critical commodities and supply chain inventory. Our AI-enabled analytics provide for the automated detection and classification of more than 30 objects of tactical interest.

We generally structure our customer agreements as annual or multi-year subscription contracts. We offer pricing tiers that enable the customer to manage collection priorities. These options provide customers with flexibility to utilize our space-based intelligence and AI services in a manner that best suits their business needs. For example, during critical events, customers may pay a premium to prioritize their monitoring and collection requirements, while at other times, customers can select lower priority collections to allow for more economical use of their overall subscription.

•Mission Solutions Revenue: We develop and deliver customized advanced satellites and payload systems for specific strategic customers that desire to leverage our capabilities in mission systems engineering and operations, ground station operations, software, analytics and systems development. By integrating our Gen-3 satellites, secure ground infrastructure, launch support, operations software, and training, this offering delivers rapid access to actionable intelligence, enhances mission continuity in secure or air-gapped environments, and supports national self-reliance in defense decision-making. Mission solutions empower customers to retain ownership and custody of satellites, tasking, and data while operating within their own borders and security frameworks. With proven, military-grade technology, globally distributed manufacturing, high-availability on-orbit performance, and transfer-of-knowledge programs that develop local workforce expertise, we enable partners to confidently build, operate, and evolve customized sovereign space architectures that strengthen national security and modern deterrence. These systems are sold to government customers under fixed price contracts and are often sold with space-based intelligence and AI services or advanced technology programs service subscriptions. We retain rights to intellectual property for developed technology of certain systems. We also provide software systems engineering development services to support the integration of high volume and mass quantities of data in their operating platforms.

•Advanced Technology Programs Revenue: We provide advanced technology solutions that enhance customer adoption and operational integration of our technology. These services include support for customer-specific software feature development, systems testing, and training, as well as the integration of our imagery and analytics products into a customer’s existing processes and workflows. These services can also include the development and expansion of our current sensor capabilities. Through these services, we help customers tailor, expand and optimize their use of our platforms and mission capabilities.

Mission solutions and advanced technology programs revenue contain estimates that may result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in a prior period. For the impacts of changes in estimates on our contracts, see Note 2—“Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

•Selling, General, and Administrative Expense: consists of salaries, taxes, and benefit costs, product development costs, professional fees, and other expenses which include other personnel-related costs, stock-based compensation expense for those employees who generally support our business and operations, and occupancy costs.

•Research and Development Expense: consists of employees’ salaries, taxes, and benefits costs incurred while researching next generation space and ground architectures in support of our long-term strategy, which includes investments in satellite design and functionality. Additionally, we employ and classify third-party vendors who help fulfill our strategic projects as research and development expense. We intend to continue to invest appropriate resources in research and development efforts, as we believe that investment is critical to maintaining our competitive position.

•Depreciation Expense: is related to property and equipment, which mainly consist of operational satellites and capitalized internal-use software. Amortization expense is related to intangible assets, which mainly consist of customer relationships. We expect to incur additional depreciation expense when each Gen-3 satellite is launched and placed into service.

Space-Based Intelligence and AI Services Revenue

Space-based intelligence & AI services revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily from new assured contracts with existing customers in the second quarter of 2026 for increased space-based tactical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.

Mission Solutions Revenue

Mission solutions revenue increased for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily attributable to an increase in the rate of performance on two existing mission solutions contracts.

Additionally, mission solutions revenue increased by $1.8 million due to net favorable estimate-at-completion adjustments comprised of gross favorable adjustments of $3.7 million and gross unfavorable adjustments of $1.9 million. The favorable adjustments resulted primarily from reductions in the estimated total costs at completion on two mission solutions programs as program risks were retired. The unfavorable adjustment primarily reflected an increase in the estimated labor hours on one other mission solutions program. Mission solutions 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 impacts of changes in estimates on our contracts, see Note 2—“Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Mission solutions revenue decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting one-time work in process costs recognized in the first quarter of 2025 on a customized Earth observation satellite for a then-new customer, which did not recur in 2026. These decreases were partially offset by the increases in the second quarter of 2026 mentioned above.

Advanced Technology Programs Revenue

Advanced technology programs revenue increased for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, largely due to revenue generated from several new contracts in the second quarter of 2026; this increase was partially offset by the completion of services performed on certain contracts in early 2026. Advanced technology programs revenue was relatively flat for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

Space-Based Intelligence and AI Service Costs

Space-based intelligence & AI services costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025, driven by increased labor fulfillment and direct material costs on new and existing long-term contracts driven by an increase in demand of space-based intelligence and AI services.

Mission Solutions Costs

Mission solutions costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting an increase in the rate of performance on two mission solutions programs, one of which began in the fourth quarter of 2025. Mission solutions costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, largely due to the impact of incurred work in process costs under a satellite procurement contract in the first quarter of 2025.

Advanced Technology Programs Costs

Advanced technology programs costs, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025, mainly due to a decrease in direct labor fulfillment costs caused by the timing of services performed on a number of new and existing contracts.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense driven by an increase in the average stock price at the time of the grant of new stock awards in 2026. In addition, selling and marketing expenses increased due to our increased utilization of sales consultants as we continue to invest in international sales initiatives. Information technology and other administrative expenses increased as a result of additional procurement of company-wide software solutions. These various increases were partially offset by lower salaries and benefits costs as selling and marketing headcount decreased and we experienced increased labor utilization in customer programs. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, selling, general, and administrative expenses were also impacted by decreases in professional fees as a result of one-time transaction costs and accounting fees incurred during the first quarter of 2025 that were associated with finalizing the BlackSky Satellite Systems acquisition that closed in late 2024.

The following is our forecast for total restricted stock units ("RSUs") non-cash stock-based compensation expense as of June 30, 2026, which, in addition to the amounts recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses, this includes the portion that will be capitalized or classified in space-based intelligence & AI services, mission solutions, or advanced technology programs costs:

Depreciation expense from satellites decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, since 2025 depreciation expense included both Gen-2 and Gen-3 satellites, whereas depreciation expense in the second quarter of 2026 only included Gen-3 satellites; our Gen-2 satellites became fully depreciated during the first quarter of 2026. Depreciation expense from satellites increased for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, as a result of the launch of our Gen-3 satellites throughout 2025 and during the first quarter of 2026; this increase in depreciation expense was partially offset by the decline in our depreciation expense on our Gen-2 satellites, which became fully depreciated in the first quarter of 2026.

Depreciation expense from all other property and equipment increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025. This increase was primarily driven by the depreciation of increasing asset balances for internal-use software as we continue to invest in our BlackSky Spectra software platform, features for our Gen-3 constellation, and internal infrastructure.

Amortization expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025 due to the change in the estimated useful life of an intangible asset during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Loss on derivatives

Our common stock price significantly drives fluctuations in our equity warrants and other equity instruments that we classify as derivative liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and measure at fair value. Fluctuations to these instruments are inversely related to changes in our common stock price, the volatility of the markets, and the duration of the equity warrants.

Outstanding derivative liabilities are re-measured to fair value at each reporting date. The gains or losses recognized in the applicable period are non-cash fair value adjustments. These re-measurements of derivative liabilities generated a loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. In addition, in May 2026, seven thousand of our March 2023 private placement warrants were exercised and the exercised warrants were re-measured to fair value on their exercise dates, resulting in the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $129 thousand.

Interest income

Interest income increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as a result of higher short-term investment balances during the period as compared to the same periods in 2025.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025 because our outstanding debt increased from $123.5 million as of June 30, 2025 to $217.2 million as of June 30, 2026. In July 2025, we lowered the average interest rate of our outstanding debt when we repaid $100.2 million of loans from related parties in their entirety, which had a stated interest rate of 12% upon repayment, and issued $185.0 million of Convertible Senior Notes with a stated interest rate of 8.25%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, management utilizes certain non-GAAP performance measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, for purposes of evaluating our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Our management and board of directors believe that this non-GAAP operating measure, when reviewed with our GAAP financial information, provides useful supplemental information to investors in assessing our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss attributable to us before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation and amortization, as well as significant non-cash and/or non-recurring expenses as our management believes these items are not useful in evaluating our core operating performance. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense; unrealized gain or loss on certain warrants/shares classified as derivative liabilities; loss on debt extinguishment; non-recurring transaction costs; litigation, settlements, and related costs; severance; and impairment, obsolescence, and asset disposals. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and

Table of Contents

evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of certain items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can produce a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information for investors to use in evaluating our operating results and trends. This non-GAAP measure provides investors with incremental information for the evaluation of our performance after isolation of certain items deemed unrelated to our core business operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure to our GAAP measures of performance. When evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating this measure. In addition, our presentation of this measure should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Furthermore, our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures computed by other companies, as the nature of the adjustments that other companies may include or exclude when calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the adjustments reflected in our measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor should this measure be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net loss. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP measures by relying primarily on our GAAP results. You should review the reconciliation of our net loss to Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our performance.

The table below reconciles our net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2026, our existing sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Our cash and cash equivalents excluding restricted cash totaled $36.9 million and $42.4 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and our short-term investments totaled $197.3 million and $82.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. We have incurred year to date losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since our inception in September 2014. As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $776.9 million.

Our short-term liquidity as of June 30, 2026 was comprised of the following:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	36,897
Restricted cash	9,965
Short-term investments(1)	197,283
	$	244,145

(1) Short-term investments were included in cash flows from investing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Our short-term liquidity as of June 30, 2026 was $244.1 million. We expect cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and cash generated from operating activities to be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for the foreseeable future. Our future long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our Gen-3 satellite and mission solutions production needs, launch and insurance costs, our growth rate, customer demand for capacity, the timing and extent of spending to support solution development efforts, our ongoing investments in technology infrastructure, and the continuing market acceptance of our products and services.

In July 2025, we issued $185.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes in a private offering. The Convertible Senior Notes will mature on August 1, 2033 unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Convertible Senior Notes will bear interest at a rate of 8.25% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2026.

We entered into vendor financing agreements for $57.6 million to fund the costs of multiple satellite launches. Our November 2023 agreement provides for a $27.0 million borrowing commitment and payments accrue interest at 12.6% per annum while our November 2025 agreement is for a $30.6 million borrowing commitment and payments accrue interest at 9.50% per annum. A portion of the vendor financing agreements can be drawn down equally per satellite launch and will be repaid quarterly on a pro-rata basis across a three-year period after each successful launch milestone. Interest begins to accrue on each launch date. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we incurred $13.2 million of additional debt related to the satellite launch vendor financing agreements. As of June 30, 2026, we have $18.7 million of additional vendor financing available to us for future launches. For additional information regarding the Convertible Senior Notes and vendor financing agreements, see Note 11 – “Debt and Other Financing” included in Part I, Item 1, “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In December 2025, we entered into an ATM sales agreement with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC as our sales agents (the “2025 ATM Agreement”), under which we could offer and sell from time to time up to $100.0 million of shares of our Class A common stock in negotiated transactions or transactions that were deemed to be an ATM offering. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we fully exhausted the 2025 ATM Agreement, resulting in net proceeds of $97.0 million; we terminated the 2025 ATM Agreement in May 2026.

On May 22, 2026, we entered into a new ATM sales agreement with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC as our sales agents (the “2026 ATM Agreement”), under which we may offer and sell from time to time up to $250.0 million of shares of our Class A common stock in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be an ATM offering. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we issued and sold shares of our Class A common stock under our 2026 ATM Agreement, resulting in net proceeds of $63.1 million.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had recorded $26.0 million and $28.6 million of current contract assets, respectively. We expect to continue billing for and receiving payments on our contract assets over the next 12 months as interim milestones on a few major customer contracts are met. The timing of customer billing and payment varies from contract to contract and we may continue to generate additional contract assets in 2026 and beyond as we enter into new contracts.

From time to time, we may seek additional equity or debt financing to fund capital expenditures, strategic initiatives or investments and our ongoing operations. If we decide, or are required, to seek additional financing from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Funding Requirements

We cannot be sure our revenues will exceed expenses in the near term due to the ongoing investments we are making in sales, marketing and products to increase our market share. We expect to continue to incur capital expenditures as we procure, build, and launch Gen-3 satellites, as well as invest in our BlackSky Spectra software platform to significantly expand our product capabilities in the future.

Short-Term Liquidity Requirements

As of June 30, 2026, our current assets were $309.8 million, consisting primarily of short-term investments, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and contract assets. Our current assets also include $10.0 million of restricted cash, of which $9.5 million was held primarily in term deposits that served as compensating balances for letters of credit required under contracts with certain customers.

As of June 30, 2026, our current liabilities were $53.1 million, consisting primarily of contract liabilities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and the current portion of debt. Accordingly, we have sufficient cash and working capital to fund our short-term liquidity requirements.

Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

We anticipate that our most significant long-term liquidity and capital needs will relate to continued funding of operations, including procurement of materials for our missions solutions programs, satellite development capital expenditures, launch capital expenditures, and ongoing investments to optimize our BlackSky Spectra software platform and corporate business and operational systems that will enable us to continue to scale the business efficiently and securely. These ongoing investments in our operational systems include a multi-year minimum commitment for compute/storage costs to facilitate our expanding AI/ML functionality.

Upcoming satellite development capital expenditures include plans to expand our current high frequency monitoring constellation with multispectral, large-area collection satellites. We expect that these new satellites will be designed to support country scale digital mapping, navigation, maritime, and 3D digital twin applications. We can manage the timing for a large part of our capital expenditures, including the design, build, and launch of our new satellites currently under development, to provide us with additional flexibility to optimize our long-term liquidity requirements. Macroeconomic conditions and credit markets could also impact the availability and/or the cost of potential future debt or equity financing.

Cash Flow Analysis

The following table provides a summary of cash flow data for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Our short-term liquidity at June 30, 2026 was $244.1 million. Short-term investments of $197.3 million are not classified as cash, cash equivalents, or restricted cash.

Table of Contents

Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $5.9 million, which is a decrease as compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was largely related to a change in working capital in the first quarter of 2025 when we received a cash payment for capacity for future purchase orders and recorded it as deferred revenue in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in cash collected from interim milestone billings on a few major customer contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Investing Activities

The change in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to increased net purchases of short-term investments in government securities of $113.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $31.0 million of net purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

We continue to have significant cash outflows for satellite procurement and launch-related services. We also incur labor costs for internally developed capitalized software as we add innovative new services and tools to our BlackSky Spectra software platform and our corporate business and operational systems. The total amount paid for capital expenditures increased during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to an increase in cash paid to procure direct materials as well as to build and launch our Gen-3 satellites. We expect cash outflows for satellite production to increase as we continue to build out our satellite constellation.

Financing Activities

We received $160.2 million in net cash proceeds from our equity issuances during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $40.9 million in net proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Our equity issuances during the six months ended June 30, 2026 consisted of the sale of 4.2 million shares of our Class A common stock under the 2026 and 2025 ATM Agreements, which resulted in $165.0 million in gross proceeds. In comparison, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold 3.7 million shares of our Class A common stock under our 2022 ATM Agreement, which resulted in $42.5 million in gross proceeds. The increase in gross proceeds was the result of an increase in our average stock price during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

During 2025, we entered into a commitment for non-refundable multi-launch and integration services as well as a commercial agreement with financing terms for these launches. The launch services agreement contains a minimum commitment that was satisfied as of June 30, 2026 by $11.9 million of debt incurred under the commercial agreement. See Note 11—"Debt and Other Financing" included in Part I, Item 1, “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on the satellite launch vendor financing.

In addition to the above, we have entered into various operational commitments for the next several years totaling $24.8 million as of June 30, 2026.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Management has based its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Table of Contents

For a description of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2—“Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The recognition and measurement of revenue requires the use of judgments and estimates. Specifically, judgment is used in interpreting complex arrangements with nonstandard terms and conditions and determining when all criteria for revenue recognition have been met, as further discussed below.

We generate revenue from the sale of space-based intelligence & AI services, mission solutions, and advanced technology programs.

Identifying the Contract with the Customer

We evidence approval of the contract with the customer with dual signatures or approved purchase orders that detail the rights of each party and define payment terms. We have not had any significant collection issues on contracts with new or recurring domestic and international government customers and we consider this historical trend when assessing the collectability risk for contracts with bespoke effective terms. We also consider the probability of the customer funding the total contract value as a component of the collectability risk.

Identifying the Performance Obligations in a Contract

We execute contracts for a single promise or multiple promises. Specifically, our firm-fixed price contracts may include multiple promises which may be accounted for as separate performance obligations if they are capable of being distinct within the context of the contract. Significant judgment is required in determining performance obligations and these decisions could change the amount of revenue and profit or loss recorded in each period.

Classification of Revenue

We classify revenue as space-based intelligence & AI services, mission solutions, and advanced technology programs in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on the predominant attributes of the performance obligations.

Determination of and Allocation of Transaction Price

Each customer contract sets forth the transaction price for the products and services purchased under the arrangement. We estimate any variable consideration, and whether the transaction price is constrained, upon execution of each contract. Variable consideration is estimated as the most likely amount that is dependent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of a future event. We continually review, and may reassess, the transaction price based on forecasted service level provisions within a limited number of our customer purchase orders, costs incurred to date and historical experience. As a result, we may update our estimated constraints on revenue, which are generally on a prospective basis. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we evaluate whether the stated selling prices for the products or services represent their standalone selling prices. When it is necessary to allocate the transaction price to multiple performance obligations, management uses the volume adjusted list price for imagery and analytics subscriptions and the expected cost plus a reasonable profit margin to estimate the standalone selling price of each product or service, which is mostly professional services.

Determination of when Performance Obligations are Satisfied

Space-based intelligence & AI services revenue is recognized over the subscription period based on the promise to continuously provide contractual satellite capacity for tasked imagery or software analytical services at the discretion of the customer. Mission solutions revenue is primarily recognized from firm-fixed price long-term

Table of Contents

customized satellites and ground station contracts. Advanced technology programs revenue is primarily generated from cost-plus contracts, and time and materials basis contracts and firm-fixed price service solutions contracts.

Due to the long-term nature of some of our contracts, we recognize revenue over time using a cost-to-complete measure of progress because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer as we incur costs on the contracts. Under this measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to complete the performance obligation(s). Calculating total estimated costs at completion is subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. We recognize changes in the estimation of total costs at completion on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the changes are identified. Such changes in estimates can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in a prior period. If, at any time, the estimate of contract profitability indicates a probable anticipated loss on the contract, we recognize the total loss as and when known.

Equity Valuations

Equity valuations impact various amounts and accounting conclusions reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the recognition of equity-based compensation and warrant valuations. The following discussion provides additional details regarding the significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments that impacted the determination of the fair values of equity-based compensation awards, warrants, and the common stock that comprise our capital structure. The following discussion also explains why these estimates, assumptions, and judgments could be subject to uncertainties and future variability.

Equity-Based Compensation

We have equity and equity-based awards outstanding under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan ("2021 Plan") and our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan ("2014 Plan"). Outstanding awards issued include stock options and RSUs. In addition, our eligible employees can participate in our 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") pursuant to purchase right offerings that are established under the ESPP.

For purposes of recognizing equity-based compensation related to RSUs and stock options granted to employees and other service providers, management estimates the grant date fair values of such awards to measure the costs to be recognized as services are received. For awards with time-based vesting conditions, we recognize compensation costs based upon the straight-line amortization of the grant date fair value of the awards over the requisite service period. When equity-based compensation awards include a performance condition, no compensation is recognized until the performance condition is deemed probable to occur; we then recognize compensation costs based on the accelerated attribution method, which accounts for awards with discrete vesting dates as if they were separate awards.

Stock Option and Class A Common Stock Warrant Valuations

We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value all options, including options under our ESPP, and Class A common stock warrants. Estimating the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the application of significant assumptions, such as the estimated term of the options, risk-free interest rates, the expected volatility of the price of our Class A common stock, and an expected dividend yield. Each of these assumptions is subjective, requires significant judgment, and is based upon management’s best estimates. If any of these assumptions were to change significantly in the future, equity-based compensation related to future awards may differ significantly, as compared with awards previously granted.

We grant RSUs to the bulk of our employees. For these RSUs, the grant date fair value is equal to the trading price fair value of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. For stock options, which are primarily granted to certain management employees, we use the following inputs under Black-Scholes as follows:

Expected Dividend Yield: The Black-Scholes valuation model requires an expected dividend yield as an input. The dividend yield is based on historical experience and expected future changes. We historically have not paid, and currently have no plans to pay dividends on our Class A common stock. Accordingly, we have assumed no dividend yield upon valuation of our stock options.

Table of Contents

Expected Volatility: As there was no observable volatility with respect to Legacy BlackSky Class A common stock and due to the lack of sufficient history of BlackSky Class A common stock, we estimated the expected volatility of Legacy BlackSky and BlackSky Class A common stock based upon the historical share price volatility of guideline comparable companies.

Risk-free Interest Rate: We used the yield on actively traded, non-inflation indexed U.S. Treasury notes to extrapolate an average risk-free interest rate based on the expected term of the underlying grants.

Expected Term: For options granted since 2021, as there is not a significant history of option exercises as a public company, we consider the option vesting terms and contractual period, as well as the demographics of the holders, in estimating the expected term. We will continue to review our estimate and adjust it, if necessary, due to changes in our historical exercises.

Private Placement Warrants and Sponsor Shares

We have classified the private placement warrants issued in October 2019 and March 2023 and the Osprey pre-merger Class B common shares that were exchanged for shares of our Class A common stock (the "Sponsor Shares") as long-term liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and 2025. Although some of the warrants have expiration dates within one year of June 30, 2026, current liabilities are used principally to designate obligations whose liquidation is reasonably expected to require the use of existing resources properly classifiable as current assets, or the creation of other current liabilities. The private placement warrants issued in October 2019 and the Sponsor Shares were initially recorded at fair value on the date of the Merger, whereas the private placement warrants issued in March 2023 were recorded at fair value on the date of issuance. The private placement warrants were recorded at fair value using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Sponsor Shares were recorded at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. These liabilities are re-measured to fair value at each subsequent reporting date and immediately prior to each warrant exercise date. The remeasurements are recorded to loss on derivatives in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the financial instruments are exercised, redeemed, cancelled or released.

The fair value models require inputs including, but not limited to, the fair value of our Class A common stock, the risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected dividend yield and expected volatility. The fair value of our Class A common stock is the closing stock price on the NYSE as of the measurement date. The risk-free interest rate assumption is determined by using U.S. Treasury rates for the same period as the expected terms of the financial instruments. The dividend yield assumption is based on the dividends expected to be paid over the expected life of the financial instruments. Expected stock volatility is based on our public warrant historical volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the estimate of the fair value of these instruments and ultimately the change in fair value.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of reasonably ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure

Table of Contents

controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2026. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company will be detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be involved in claims and proceedings arising in the course of our business. The outcome of any such claims or proceedings, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain.

On May 7, 2024, a putative class action relating to the merger (the “Merger”) of BlackSky Holdings, Inc. (“Legacy BlackSky”) on September 9, 2021 with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osprey Technology Acquisition Corp. (“Osprey”) was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The action was captioned Drulias v. Osprey Sponsor II, LLC, et al. (“Drulias”) (Del. Ch. 2024). The Drulias complaint asserted breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims against the former directors of Osprey (the “Osprey Board”); the former officers of Osprey; and Osprey Sponsor II, LLC (the “Sponsor”); and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty claims against HEPCO Capital Management, LLC; JANA Partners LLC; and a director of Legacy BlackSky. The Drulias complaint alleged the Sponsor and Osprey Board faced conflicts of interests with respect to the Merger, caused Osprey to pay an unfair price to acquire Legacy BlackSky, and made false or misleading disclosure of facts in the proxy statement disseminated in connection with the approval of the Merger (the “Merger Proxy”). The Drulias complaint further alleged that a Legacy BlackSky director aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duty by the Osprey Directors by conspiring with them to provide misleading financial information in connection with the Merger Proxy. The Drulias complaint sought, among other things, damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. The terms of the Merger required us to indemnify the directors of Osprey.

On May 8, 2024, a putative class action relating to the Merger was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The action was captioned Cheriyala v. Osprey Sponsor II, LLC (“Cheriyala”) (Del. Ch. 2024). The Cheriyala complaint asserted breach of fiduciary duty claims against the Osprey Board, the former officers of Osprey, and the Sponsor; aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty claims against Legacy BlackSky and certain directors and officers of Legacy BlackSky; and unjust enrichment claims against the Sponsor and an Osprey director. The Cheriyala complaint alleged the Sponsor and Osprey Board faced conflicts of interests with respect to the Merger, caused Osprey to pay an unfair price to acquire Legacy BlackSky, and made false or misleading disclosure of facts in the Merger Proxy. The Cheriyala complaint further alleges that Legacy BlackSky and certain of its directors and officers prepared misleading projections that did not accurately reflect Legacy BlackSky’s financial prospects, which aided and abetted the Sponsor’s and Osprey Board’s dissemination of misleading information in the Merger Proxy. The Cheriyala complaint sought, among other things, damages and attorneys’ fees and costs.

payable out of the settlement fund, and (iv) approved the payment of an incentive fee to plaintiffs. The Court of Chancery entered its final judgment on April 21, 2026. The costs of this case, including the Settlement, have been substantially funded from insurance proceeds and are not expected to have a material impact on our operations or financial condition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

For risk factors relating to our business, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and filed by us with the SEC. Any of those factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On December 12, 2025, we entered into an "at the market" (ATM) sales agreement with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC as our sales agents (the “2025 ATM Agreement”), under which we offered and sold $100.0 million of shares of our Class A common stock in negotiated transactions or transactions that were deemed to be an ATM offering. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we raised gross proceeds of $85.0 million through the sale of 2,065,031 shares under our 2025 ATM Agreement. We sold such shares at an average purchase price per share of $41.16. After deducting commissions and other offering expenses associated with the 2025 ATM Agreement of $2.2 million, the net proceeds to us from the transactions were $82.8 million.

On May 22, 2026, we entered into an ATM sales agreement with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC as our sales agents (the "2026 ATM Agreement"), under which we may offer and sell from time to time up to $250.0 million of shares of our common stock in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be an ATM offering. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we raised gross proceeds of $65.0 million through the sale of 1,490,214 shares under our 2026 ATM Agreement. We sold such shares at an average purchase price per share of $43.62. After deducting commissions and other offering expenses associated with the 2026 ATM Agreement of $1.9 million, the net proceeds to us from the transactions were $63.1 million.

We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the shares for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We are subject to restrictions on the payment of cash dividends in our loan and debt agreements. For additional information on our indebtedness and related restrictions therein, see Note 11 —“Debt and Other Financing” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under Part I—Item 2— “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
