Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, for which all intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income/loss, total assets, or stockholders’ equity. The information as of June 30, 2026 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Management also has evaluated the impact of events occurring after June 30, 2026 up to the date of issuance of these condensed financial statements, and these statements contain all necessary adjustments and disclosures resulting from that evaluation. The results have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for presentation in accordance with GAAP, however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. Due to seasonal fluctuations and other factors, interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results expected in subsequent periods or for the year as a whole. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 6, 2026 (the “Form 10-K”).
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities The Company follows ASC 810-10-15, Consolidation, guidance with respect to accounting for variable interest entities (“VIE”). These entities do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or whose equity investors lack any of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of a VIE’s expected losses or receive portions of its expected returns and are contractual, ownership or pecuniary in nature and that change with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets. A reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and must consolidate it when that party has a variable interest, or combination of variable interests, that provide it with a controlling financial interest. A party is deemed to have a controlling financial interest if it meets both of the power and loss/benefits criteria. The power criterion is the ability to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance. The losses/benefits criterion is the obligation to absorb losses from, or right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The VIE model requires an ongoing reconsideration of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE due to changes in the facts and circumstances. Northern Fire Management Services, LLC (“NFMS, LLC”): The Company assisted in designing and organizing NFMS, LLC with a business purpose of employing Canadian aviation professionals to provide services to the Company. A master services agreement exists between NFMS, LLC, the Company, and Bridger Air Tanker, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to transfer all annual expenses incurred to the Company in exchange for the Canadian employees to support the Company’s water scooper aircraft. NFMS, LLC is 50% owned by a Canadian citizen, and 50% owned by Bridger Aerospace Group, LLC. NFMS, LLC was determined to be a VIE primarily due to the entity’s lack of sufficient equity investment at risk and the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE primarily attributable to the Company’s responsibility for all decisions related to NFMS, LLC’s expenditures. Accordingly, NFMS, LLC has been consolidated by the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2025, and all intercompany expenses associated with NFMS, LLC and its service agreement have been eliminated in consolidation. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, NFMS, LLC’s assets and liabilities were immaterial to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Bridger Aerospace Europe, S.L.U. (“BAE”) and MAB Funding, LLC (“MAB”): On November 17, 2023, we entered into a series of agreements designed to facilitate the purchase and return-to-service of four Spanish Scoopers originally awarded to our wholly-owned subsidiary, BAE, in September 2023 via a public tender process from the Government of Spain for €40.3 million. Under the terms of the agreements, we agreed to sell the entire outstanding equity interest in BAE to MAB and purchase $4.0 million of non-voting Class B units of MAB. We also entered into a services agreement with MAB whereby we will manage the return-to-service upgrades of the Spanish Scoopers through our wholly-owned Spanish subsidiary, Albacete Aero, S.L., while they are owned and funded by MAB. The service agreement also provides that we have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire each Spanish Scooper as it is ready to be contracted and returned to service. On December 23, 2025, we purchased two of the Spanish Scoopers from MAB for an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million, allocating $25.0 million per aircraft. The Company assessed both MAB and BAE for variable interest entity accounting under ASC 810-10-15 and determined that MAB is a voting interest entity and BAE is a variable interest entity. However, neither entity is consolidated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in MAB and the Company is not the primary beneficiary of BAE. Accordingly, neither of these entities have been consolidated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of gain or loss contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions include: (a) excess and aging aircraft support parts reserves, (b) allowance for doubtful accounts, (c) useful lives of property, plant and equipment, net, (d) allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, (e) impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, (f) disclosure of fair value of financial instruments, (g) variable interest entities, (h) accounting for Series A Preferred Stock, (i) revenue recognition, (j) estimates and assumptions made in determining the carrying values of goodwill, other intangible assets, and contingent consideration, (k) Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, (l) accounting for income taxes including the related valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset and (m) determination of the fair value of the property related to the sale-leaseback transaction. In the future, the Company may realize actual results that differ from the current reported estimates and if the estimates that the Company has used change in the future, such changes could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from our customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated losses expected to be incurred based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not record any bad debt expense as accounts receivable have historically been collected in accordance with the policy and there is no history of write-offs.
Business Combinations	Business Combinations The Company records tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, amounts paid for the acquisition are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition inclusive of identifiable intangible assets. Acquisition consideration includes contingent consideration with payment terms based on the achievement of certain targets of the acquired business. The estimated fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities, including intangibles, are based on valuations that use information and assumptions available to management. The Company allocates any excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill. Significant management judgments and assumptions are required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, particularly acquired intangible assets, including estimated useful lives. The valuation of purchased intangible assets is based upon estimates of the future performance and discounted cash flows of the acquired business. Each asset acquired or liability assumed is measured at estimated fair value from the perspective of a market participant. Contingent consideration represents an obligation of the acquirer to transfer additional assets or equity interests to the seller if future events occur or conditions are met and is recognized when probable and reasonably estimable. Contingent consideration recognized is included in the initial cost of the assets acquired. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration are recognized as Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Debt Issuance Costs	Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs consist of expenditures associated with obtaining debt financing, principally legal and bank commitment fees, on drawn and undrawn instruments. Such costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the related credit arrangements using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of long-term debt and are included in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The payment of debt issuance costs is recorded under financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Deferred Offerings Costs and Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Offering Costs Deferred offering costs primarily consist of capitalized legal, accounting and other third-party costs incurred that are related to the Reverse Recapitalization and subsequent securities offerings. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs include origination, arrangement, legal and other fees to issue or amend the terms of the Revolver and DDTL. In our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Revolver and DDTL are reported as other noncurrent assets. Deferred financing costs are recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest expense by amortizing the costs over the related financing using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Aerial firefighting revenues The Company enters into short, medium and long-term contracts with customers, primarily with government agencies during the firefighting season, to perform aerial firefighting services (fire suppression and aerial surveillance). The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The majority of the Company’s aerial firefighting contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, are not distinct. The Company primarily performs the following activities on contracts as part of a stand-ready obligation: (i) providing our aircraft, pilot and field maintenance personnel necessary to operate the aircraft and (ii) performing the services required on the contract, whether it be fire suppression or aerial surveillance services. The integrated firefighting services that we perform under each contract represent a single performance obligation satisfied over time, as a series of distinct time increments. Our firefighting contracts generally provide for payment on a day rate basis. Such activities consist of standby and flight time. Standby rates are charged daily when aircraft is available for use at a fire base, awaiting request from the customer for flight deployment. Flight time is charged hourly when the engines of the aircraft are started and stopped upon request of the customer. The amounts billed to the customer are determined based on varying rates applicable to the specific activities performed on a daily basis. Such consideration is allocated to the distinct daily increment it relates to within the contract and therefore, recognized as we perform the daily firefighting services on the contract. We measure progress in a manner that depicts the performance of transferring control to the customer. As such, we utilize the output method to recognize revenue over time as this depicts the Company’s performance toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. As the Company has a right to consideration from customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date, the Company has applied the practical expedient to recognize revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice. We have elected to exclude from the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental and foreign authorities. Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (“MRO”) revenues Maintenance repair revenue consists of maintenance repair and return-to-service work performed on customer aircraft. The Company commonly contracts with third-parties to perform certain repair and return-to-service work. The Company considers itself the principal in these arrangements as we control the timing and nature of the services ultimately provided by the third-party to the customer. Each maintenance contract consists of integrated repair and return-to-service activities that are highly interdependent, and therefore, represent a single performance obligation. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected-cost-plus-margin approach, under which the Company forecasts the expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. The Company satisfies the underlying performance obligations over time as either the customer obtains control or receives benefits as work is performed on the contract, or the products we are building are assets with no alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment. As a result, under ASC 606, revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method (cost incurred relative to total estimated cost at completion). Contract estimates Actual revenues and project costs may vary from previous estimates due to changes in a variety of factors. The cost estimation process is based upon the professional knowledge and experience of our engineers, project managers and financial professionals. Factors that are considered in estimating the work to be completed and ultimate contract recovery include the availability and productivity of labor, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials and the effect of any delays on our project performance. We periodically review our job performance, job conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements, including our estimate of total costs and make revisions to costs and income in the period in which the revisions are probable and reasonably estimable. We bear the risk of cost overruns in most of our contracts, which may result in reduced profits. Whenever revisions of estimated contract costs and contract values indicate that the contract costs will exceed estimated revenues, thus creating a loss, a provision for the total estimated loss is recorded in that period. Contracts can be modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Contract modifications are considered to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of the Company’s contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price, and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. Total cumulative catch-up adjustments were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Other revenues Other revenues primarily consists of training services and lease revenue when we lease our owned aircraft to third parties, typically on an hourly or daily basis. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we had other revenue of $21,000 and $39,000, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we had other revenue of $3.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Contract assets & liabilities The timing of revenue recognition, customer billings and cash collections results in a contract asset or contract liability at the end of each reporting period. For instances where we recognize revenue prior to having an unconditional right to payment, we record a contract asset. When amounts are dependent on factors other than the passage of time in order for payment from a customer to be due, we record a contract asset which consists of costs incurred where revenue recognized over time using the cost-to-cost model exceeds the amounts billed to customers. Contract assets are recorded within Accounts receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Contract liabilities are recorded as deferred revenue within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain customers make advance payments prior to the satisfaction of our performance obligations on the contract. These amounts are recorded as contract liabilities until such performance obligations are satisfied over time as costs are incurred. Contract assets and contract liabilities are determined on a contract-by-contract basis. Payment terms vary by customer and type of revenue contract. The Company generally expects that the period of time between payment and transfer of promised goods or services will be less than one year. In such instances, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not evaluate whether a significant financing component exists. Changes in the balances of the Company’s contract assets and liabilities primarily result from timing differences between revenue recognition and customer billings and/or payments. There were no significant impairment losses related to any receivables or contract assets arising from the Company’s contracts with customers during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Remaining performance obligations The Company calculates revenues from remaining performance obligations as the dollar value of the remaining performance obligations on executed contracts. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has remaining unsatisfied performance obligations of $9.5 million, of which 100% is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months. Contract costs The Company has not incurred incremental costs for obtaining contracts with customers. In addition, the Company evaluates whether or not it should capitalize the costs of fulfilling a contract. Such costs would be capitalized when they are not within the scope of other standards and: (1) are directly related to a contract; (2) generate or enhance resources that will be used to satisfy performance obligations; and (3) are expected to be recovered. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient detailed in ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs-Contracts with Customers, to expense any costs to fulfill a contract as they are incurred when the amortization period would be one year or less.
Hedging Transactions and Derivative Financial Instruments	Hedging Transactions and Derivative Financial Instruments The Company may, when deemed appropriate, use derivative financial instruments as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks, including interest rate risk. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and reclassified into earnings in the period the hedged item affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of a hedge is recognized in earnings immediately. Upon termination of a hedging instrument, any remaining balance in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income is reclassified into earnings in the period of termination. The Company’s interest rate swap, which was designated as a cash flow hedge, was terminated in October 2025 concurrent with the refinancing of the underlying hedged debt. Refer to “Note 13 – Interest Rate Swap” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes For periods prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, LLC was a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Consequently, federal income taxes were not payable or provided for by Legacy Bridger. Members were taxed individually on their pro rata ownership share of the Legacy Bridger’s earnings. Legacy Bridger’s net income or loss was allocated among the members in accordance with the Company’s operating agreement. Subsequent to the Reverse Recapitalization, Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. became the successor of Legacy Bridger as discussed in “Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Bridger is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to net taxable income or loss and any related tax credits of the Company. Bridger is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company provides for income taxes and the related accounts under the asset and liability method. Income tax benefit, deferred tax assets and liabilities and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxes predominantly in the U.S. These tax laws are often complex and may be subject to different interpretations. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis difference reverses. In evaluating the ability to recover its deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence. If based upon all available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established. The valuation allowance may be reversed in a subsequent reporting period if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that all or part of the deferred tax asset will become realizable.
Warrant Liabilities	Warrant Liabilities The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. The warrant liabilities are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until exercised.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company along with the Board established and approved and assumed the Omnibus Plan which allowed the Company to grant restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Bridger employees (the “Participants”). Upon satisfying the vesting conditions, each RSU provides the Participants the right to receive one share of Common Stock. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted market price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Compensation cost for the RSUs is recognized as the performance condition of the Closing of the transaction was met and over the requisite service period based on the graded-vesting method. Compensation cost for performance-based restricted common stock awards is recognized when achievement of the applicable performance condition is considered probable. The Company reassesses the probability of achievement at each reporting date and records cumulative catch-up adjustments to compensation cost based on the number of awards expected to vest. Grant-date fair value for such awards is determined based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date in accordance with the applicable award terms. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation is included in both Cost of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Loss Per Share	Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock used for the basic loss per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of RSUs, restricted common stock awards, Warrants and Incentive Units, if any, using the “treasury stock” method, the Series A Preferred Stock that is convertible into shares of Common Stock and the Sponsor Earnout Shares that will fully vest upon certain stock price metrics being achieved. In addition, loss for diluted loss per share is adjusted for the after-tax impact of changes to the fair value of the Warrants, to the extent they are dilutive. Loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Sale-Leaseback Transaction	Sale-Leaseback Transaction The determination of the fair value of the property related to the sale-leaseback transaction requires subjectivity and estimates, including the use of multiple valuation techniques and uncertain inputs, such as market price per square foot and assumed capitalization rates or the replacement cost of the assets, where applicable. Where real estate valuation expertise is required, we obtain independent third-party appraisals to determine the fair value of the underlying asset. While determining fair value requires a variety of input assumptions and judgment, we believe our estimates of fair value are reasonable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In April 2026, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2026-01, Equity (Topic 505) — Initial Measurement of Paid-in-Kind Dividends on Equity-Classified Preferred Stock (“ASU 2026-01”), which requires that paid-in-kind (“PIK”) dividends on equity-classified preferred stock be initially measured based on the PIK dividend rate stated in the preferred stock agreement, applied to the liquidation value of the preferred stock outstanding. ASU 2026-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2026-01 on January 1, 2027. The Company's existing accounting policies are consistent with the requirements of ASU 2026-01, and therefore adoption is not expected to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. 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”). This update modernizes the accounting for internal-use software, removes all references to software development stages, and requires capitalization of software costs when management has committed to a software project and it is probable the software will be completed and perform its intended use. ASU 2025-06 will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and method of adopting the new accounting guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). This update enhances annual and interim disclosures, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new accounting guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, for which all intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income/loss, total assets, or stockholders’ equity.

The information as of June 30, 2026 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Management also has evaluated the impact of events occurring after June 30, 2026 up to the date of issuance of these condensed financial statements, and these statements contain all necessary adjustments and disclosures resulting from that evaluation.

The results have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for presentation in accordance with GAAP, however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. Due to seasonal fluctuations and other factors, interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results expected in subsequent periods or for the year as a whole. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 6, 2026 (the “Form 10-K”).

Variable Interest Entities

The Company follows ASC 810-10-15, Consolidation, guidance with respect to accounting for variable interest entities (“VIE”). These entities do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or whose equity investors lack any of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of a VIE’s expected losses or receive portions of its expected returns and are contractual, ownership or pecuniary in nature and that change with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets. A reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and must consolidate it when that party has a variable interest, or combination of variable interests, that provide it with a controlling financial interest. A party is deemed to have a controlling financial interest if it meets both of the power and loss/benefits criteria. The power criterion is the ability to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance. The losses/benefits criterion is the obligation to absorb losses from, or right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The VIE model requires an ongoing reconsideration of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE due to changes in the facts and circumstances.

Northern Fire Management Services, LLC (“NFMS, LLC”): The Company assisted in designing and organizing NFMS, LLC with a business purpose of employing Canadian aviation professionals to provide services to the Company. A master services agreement exists between NFMS, LLC, the Company, and Bridger Air Tanker, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to transfer all annual expenses incurred to the Company in exchange for the Canadian employees to support the Company’s water scooper aircraft. NFMS, LLC is 50% owned by a Canadian citizen, and 50% owned by Bridger Aerospace Group, LLC. NFMS, LLC was determined to be a VIE primarily due to the entity’s lack of sufficient equity investment at risk and the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE primarily attributable to the Company’s responsibility for all decisions related to NFMS, LLC’s expenditures. Accordingly, NFMS, LLC has been consolidated by the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2025, and all intercompany expenses associated with NFMS, LLC and its service agreement have been eliminated in consolidation. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, NFMS, LLC’s assets and liabilities were immaterial to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Bridger Aerospace Europe, S.L.U. (“BAE”) and MAB Funding, LLC (“MAB”): On November 17, 2023, we entered into a series of agreements designed to facilitate the purchase and return-to-service of four Spanish Scoopers originally awarded to our wholly-owned subsidiary, BAE, in September 2023 via a public tender process from the Government of Spain for €40.3 million. Under the terms of the agreements, we agreed to sell the entire outstanding equity interest in BAE to MAB and purchase $4.0 million of non-voting Class B units of MAB. We also entered into a services agreement with MAB whereby we will manage the return-to-service upgrades of the Spanish Scoopers through our wholly-owned Spanish subsidiary, Albacete Aero, S.L., while they are owned and funded by MAB. The service agreement also provides that we have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire each Spanish Scooper as it is ready to be contracted and returned to service. On December 23, 2025, we purchased two of the Spanish Scoopers from MAB for an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million, allocating $25.0 million per aircraft. The Company assessed both MAB and BAE for variable interest entity accounting under ASC 810-10-15 and determined that MAB is a voting interest entity and BAE is a variable interest entity. However, neither entity is consolidated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in MAB and the Company is not the primary beneficiary of BAE. Accordingly, neither of these entities have been consolidated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2025.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of gain or loss contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions include: (a) excess and aging aircraft support parts reserves, (b) allowance for doubtful accounts, (c) useful lives of property, plant and equipment, net, (d) allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, (e) impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, (f) disclosure of fair value of financial instruments, (g) variable interest entities, (h) accounting for Series A Preferred Stock, (i) revenue recognition, (j) estimates and assumptions made in determining the carrying values of goodwill, other intangible assets, and contingent consideration, (k) Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, (l) accounting for income taxes including the related valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset and (m) determination of the fair value of the property related to the sale-leaseback transaction. In the future, the Company may realize actual results that differ from the current reported estimates and if the estimates that the Company has used change in the future, such changes could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from our customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated losses expected to be incurred based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not record any bad debt expense as accounts receivable have historically been collected in accordance with the policy and there is no history of write-offs.

Business Combinations

The Company records tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, amounts paid for the acquisition are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition inclusive of identifiable intangible assets. Acquisition consideration includes contingent consideration with payment terms based on the achievement of certain targets of the acquired business. The estimated fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities, including intangibles, are based on valuations that use information and assumptions available to management. The Company allocates any excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill. Significant management judgments and assumptions are required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, particularly acquired intangible assets, including estimated useful lives. The valuation of purchased intangible assets is based upon estimates of the future performance and discounted cash flows of the acquired business. Each asset acquired or liability assumed is measured at estimated fair value from the perspective of a market participant.

Contingent consideration represents an obligation of the acquirer to transfer additional assets or equity interests to the seller if future events occur or conditions are met and is recognized when probable and reasonably estimable. Contingent consideration recognized is included in the initial cost of the assets acquired. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration are recognized as Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs consist of expenditures associated with obtaining debt financing, principally legal and bank commitment fees, on drawn and undrawn instruments. Such costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the related credit arrangements using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of long-term debt and are included in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The payment of debt issuance costs is recorded under financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Deferred Offerings Costs and Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs primarily consist of capitalized legal, accounting and other third-party costs incurred that are related to the Reverse Recapitalization and subsequent securities offerings.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs include origination, arrangement, legal and other fees to issue or amend the terms of the Revolver and DDTL. In our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Revolver and DDTL are reported as other noncurrent assets. Deferred financing costs are recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest expense by amortizing the costs over the related financing using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.

Revenue Recognition

Aerial firefighting revenues

The Company enters into short, medium and long-term contracts with customers, primarily with government agencies during the firefighting season, to perform aerial firefighting services (fire suppression and aerial surveillance). The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

The majority of the Company’s aerial firefighting contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, are not distinct. The Company primarily performs the following activities on contracts as part of a stand-ready obligation: (i) providing our aircraft, pilot and field maintenance personnel necessary to operate the aircraft and (ii) performing the services required on the contract, whether it be fire suppression or aerial surveillance services. The integrated firefighting services that we perform under each contract represent a single performance obligation satisfied over time, as a series of distinct time increments.

Our firefighting contracts generally provide for payment on a day rate basis. Such activities consist of standby and flight time. Standby rates are charged daily when aircraft is available for use at a fire base, awaiting request from the customer for flight deployment. Flight time is charged hourly when the engines of the aircraft are started and stopped upon request of the customer. The amounts billed to the customer are determined based on varying rates applicable to the specific activities performed on a daily basis. Such consideration is allocated to the distinct daily increment it relates to within the contract and therefore, recognized as we perform the daily firefighting services on the contract.

We measure progress in a manner that depicts the performance of transferring control to the customer. As such, we utilize the output method to recognize revenue over time as this depicts the Company’s performance toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. As the Company has a right to consideration from customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date, the Company has applied the practical expedient to recognize revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice. We have elected to exclude from the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental and foreign authorities.

Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (“MRO”) revenues

Maintenance repair revenue consists of maintenance repair and return-to-service work performed on customer aircraft. The Company commonly contracts with third-parties to perform certain repair and return-to-service work. The Company considers itself the principal in these arrangements as we control the timing and nature of the services ultimately provided by the third-party to the customer.

Each maintenance contract consists of integrated repair and return-to-service activities that are highly interdependent, and therefore, represent a single performance obligation. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected-cost-plus-margin approach, under which the Company forecasts the expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service.

The Company satisfies the underlying performance obligations over time as either the customer obtains control or receives benefits as work is performed on the contract, or the products we are building are assets with no alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment. As a result, under ASC 606, revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method (cost incurred relative to total estimated cost at completion).

Contract estimates

Actual revenues and project costs may vary from previous estimates due to changes in a variety of factors. The cost estimation process is based upon the professional knowledge and experience of our engineers, project managers and financial professionals. Factors that are considered in estimating the work to be completed and ultimate contract recovery include the availability and productivity of labor, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials and the effect of any delays on our project performance. We periodically review our job performance, job conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements, including our estimate of total costs and make revisions to costs and income in the period in which the revisions are probable and reasonably estimable. We bear the risk of cost overruns in most of our contracts, which may result in reduced profits. Whenever revisions of estimated contract costs and contract values indicate that the contract costs will exceed estimated revenues, thus creating a loss, a provision for the total estimated loss is recorded in that period. Contracts can be modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Contract modifications are considered to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of the Company’s contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price, and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. Total cumulative catch-up adjustments were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Other revenues

Other revenues primarily consists of training services and lease revenue when we lease our owned aircraft to third parties, typically on an hourly or daily basis. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we had other revenue of $21,000 and $39,000, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we had other revenue of $3.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

Contract assets & liabilities

The timing of revenue recognition, customer billings and cash collections results in a contract asset or contract liability at the end of each reporting period. For instances where we recognize revenue prior to having an unconditional right to payment, we record a contract asset. When amounts are dependent on factors other than the passage of time in order for payment from a customer to be due, we record a contract asset which consists of costs incurred where revenue recognized over time using the cost-to-cost model exceeds the amounts billed to customers. Contract assets are recorded within Accounts receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Contract liabilities are recorded as deferred revenue within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain customers make advance payments prior to the satisfaction of our performance obligations on the contract. These amounts are recorded as contract liabilities until such performance obligations are satisfied over time as costs are incurred. Contract assets and contract liabilities are determined on a contract-by-contract basis.

Payment terms vary by customer and type of revenue contract. The Company generally expects that the period of time between payment and transfer of promised goods or services will be less than one year. In such instances, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not evaluate whether a significant financing component exists.

Changes in the balances of the Company’s contract assets and liabilities primarily result from timing differences between revenue recognition and customer billings and/or payments. There were no significant impairment losses related to any receivables or contract assets arising from the Company’s contracts with customers during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Remaining performance obligations

The Company calculates revenues from remaining performance obligations as the dollar value of the remaining performance obligations on executed contracts. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has remaining unsatisfied performance obligations of $9.5 million, of which 100% is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months.

Contract costs

The Company has not incurred incremental costs for obtaining contracts with customers. In addition, the Company evaluates whether or not it should capitalize the costs of fulfilling a contract. Such costs would be capitalized when they are not within the scope of other standards and: (1) are directly related to a contract; (2) generate or enhance resources that will be used to satisfy performance obligations; and (3) are expected to be recovered. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient detailed in ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs-Contracts with Customers, to expense any costs to fulfill a contract as they are incurred when the amortization period would be one year or less.

Hedging Transactions and Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may, when deemed appropriate, use derivative financial instruments as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks, including interest rate risk. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and reclassified into earnings in the period the hedged item affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of a hedge is recognized in earnings immediately. Upon termination of a hedging instrument, any remaining balance in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income is reclassified into earnings in the period of termination.

The Company’s interest rate swap, which was designated as a cash flow hedge, was terminated in October 2025 concurrent with the refinancing of the underlying hedged debt. Refer to “Note 13 – Interest Rate Swap” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details.

Income Taxes

For periods prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, LLC was a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Consequently, federal income taxes were not payable or provided for by Legacy Bridger. Members were taxed individually on their pro rata ownership share of the Legacy Bridger’s earnings. Legacy Bridger’s net income or loss was allocated among the members in accordance with the Company’s operating agreement.

Subsequent to the Reverse Recapitalization, Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. became the successor of Legacy Bridger as discussed in “Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Bridger is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to net taxable income or loss and any related tax credits of the Company. Bridger is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which it operates.

The Company provides for income taxes and the related accounts under the asset and liability method. Income tax benefit, deferred tax assets and liabilities and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxes predominantly in the U.S. These tax laws are often complex and may be subject to different interpretations.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis difference reverses. In evaluating the ability to recover its deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence. If based upon all available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established. The valuation allowance may be reversed in a subsequent reporting period if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that all or part of the deferred tax asset will become realizable.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. The warrant liabilities are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until exercised.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.

The Company along with the Board established and approved and assumed the Omnibus Plan which allowed the Company to grant restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Bridger employees (the “Participants”). Upon satisfying the vesting conditions, each RSU provides the Participants the right to receive one share of Common Stock. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted market price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Compensation cost for the RSUs is recognized as the performance condition of the Closing of the transaction was met and over the requisite service period based on the graded-vesting method.

Compensation cost for performance-based restricted common stock awards is recognized when achievement of the applicable performance condition is considered probable. The Company reassesses the probability of achievement at each reporting date and records cumulative catch-up adjustments to compensation cost based on the number of awards expected to vest. Grant-date fair value for such awards is determined based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date in accordance with the applicable award terms.

The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation is included in both Cost of revenues and Selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock used for the basic loss per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of RSUs, restricted common stock awards, Warrants and Incentive Units, if any, using the “treasury stock” method, the Series A Preferred Stock that is convertible into shares of Common Stock and the Sponsor Earnout Shares that will fully vest upon certain stock price metrics being achieved. In addition, loss for diluted loss per share is adjusted for the after-tax impact of changes to the fair value of the Warrants, to the extent they are dilutive. Loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Sale-Leaseback Transaction

The determination of the fair value of the property related to the sale-leaseback transaction requires subjectivity and estimates, including the use of multiple valuation techniques and uncertain inputs, such as market price per square foot and assumed capitalization rates or the replacement cost of the assets, where applicable. Where real estate valuation expertise is required, we obtain independent third-party appraisals to determine the fair value of the underlying asset. While determining fair value requires a variety of input assumptions and judgment, we believe our estimates of fair value are reasonable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2026, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2026-01, Equity (Topic 505) — Initial Measurement of Paid-in-Kind Dividends on Equity-Classified Preferred Stock (“ASU 2026-01”), which requires that paid-in-kind (“PIK”) dividends on equity-classified preferred stock be initially measured based on the PIK dividend rate stated in the preferred stock agreement, applied to the liquidation value of the preferred stock outstanding. ASU 2026-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2026-01 on January 1, 2027. The Company's existing accounting policies are consistent with the requirements of ASU 2026-01, and therefore adoption is not expected to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

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”). This update modernizes the accounting for internal-use software, removes all references to software development stages, and requires capitalization of software costs when management has committed to a software project and it is probable the software will be completed and perform its intended use. ASU 2025-06 will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and method of adopting the new accounting guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). This update enhances annual and interim disclosures, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new accounting guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
