Organization and Description of Business

Blaize Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Blaize,” or the “Company”) is headquartered in El Dorado Hills, California. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

The Company provides purpose-built, transformative artificial intelligence (“AI”)-enabled edge computing solutions comprised of both its proprietary hardware and software, and complementary third-party hardware solutions, as further described below.

In addition to its internally developed products, the Company also delivers third-party hardware solutions that complement and enhance its core offerings. These third-party hardware solutions typically are substantially comprised of servers, which are selected to ensure optimal compatibility and performance with the Company’s products and AI-enabled platforms. The Company’s portfolio includes highly efficient programmable AI processors in a broad range of form factors, deployable across several verticals, including smart city, defense, retail and enterprise markets. The Company’s accelerated AI computing platforms enable applications such as computer vision, advanced video analytics, and AI inference, and the Company’s software tools allow non-expert practitioners to deploy existing and novel AI applications on the Company’s hardware without the need for customers to learn or use source code.

Merger and Reverse Recapitalization and Accounting for the Merger

The Merger and reverse recapitalization, the accounting for the transaction, and the defined terms used herein are described in Note 1 — “Organization and Description of Business” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial position, have been included. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates based on assumptions about current and, for some estimates, future economic and market conditions, which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Although current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from management’s expectations, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Updates to Significant Accounting Policies

Foreign Currency and Functional Currency

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries. In 2026, the Company’s newly-formed, wholly owned Chinese subsidiary adopted the Chinese renminbi (RMB/CNY) as its functional currency, reflecting that the primary economic environment in which that subsidiary operates is within China.

Assets and liabilities of the Chinese subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. The resulting
foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured at period-end exchange rates, and the resulting gains and losses are recognized in “Other, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at the historical exchange rates in effect at the dates the underlying equity transactions occurred. Retained earnings (accumulated deficit) is translated at historical rates, with current-period activity reflecting net income (loss) translated at average exchange rates for the period.

The adoption of the renminbi as the functional currency of the Company’s Chinese subsidiary at the subsidiary’s inception resulted in foreign currency translation adjustments of $0.5 million being recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, and $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, recorded as “other comprehensive income” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent the Company’s unconditional right to consideration under contracts with customers, where only the passage of time is required before payment becomes due. Accounts receivable include receivables for which the Company has issued a commercial invoice and has satisfied its performance obligation and has an unconditional right to consideration, but for which the official tax invoice (“fapiao”) has not yet been issued. These receivables relate to sales by the Company’s subsidiary in China, formed in 2026, where, consistent with local business practice, the fapiao is issued upon receipt of final payment rather than upon shipment or delivery of goods. Prior to the Company’s formation of this subsidiary, accounts receivable that had arisen from sales in China were due to the Company’s operating subsidiary in the United States, which issued invoices immediately upon unconditional transfer of goods. Because the Company’s right to payment for these sales is unconditional upon transfer of control of the goods, such amounts are classified within accounts receivable rather than as contract assets. As of June 30, 2026, the amount of such receivables included within accounts receivable, prior to allowance for credit losses, was $13.3 million, which was the result of a sale in the second quarter of 2026.

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced or invoiceable amount, do not bear interest, and are presented net of an allowance for credit losses estimated in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Since the issuance of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, there have been no material updates to the recent accounting pronouncement previously disclosed.
