Revenue Outlook for the Third Quarter of 2026 As of October 5, 2026, on a preliminary basis, Blaize Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) expects to report revenue of approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. This revenue was earned during August 2026 and is related to the sale of the Company’s manufactured hardware products to one customer located in Europe. The preliminary revenue estimates for the third quarter of 2026 is based on currently available information and does not present all necessary information for an understanding of the Company’s expected results of operations for the period. The preliminary estimate has been prepared by and is the responsibility of management. The Company has not completed its closing procedures for the third quarter of 2026, and it is possible that items may be identified that require adjustments to the preliminary estimated result set forth above for the third quarter of 2026, and those changes could be material. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on this preliminary estimate. Further, the Company’s preliminary estimated revenue for the third quarter of 2026 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the remainder of the year or any future period. Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure. Full Year 2026 Revenue Outlook Given the foregoing and as noted below, the Company is revising its full-year revenue guidance for 2026 to be between $32.0 million and $36.0 million. The revised guidance is based on binding, non-cancellable purchase orders from NeoTensr and a new purchase order from an existing customer in process of signature. The product shipments to NeoTensr this quarter relate to the contract announced by the Company in April 2026 for up to $50.0 million. The revision reflects the Company’s updated expectations regarding shipment timing and management of working capital to meet inventory purchase needs. The Company has sufficient inventory on hand to partially fulfill the orders in the fourth quarter and is working with suppliers to obtain the balance before the year end. Any increased costs that are able to be passed through to customers or new customer commitments received during the fourth quarter that can be fulfilled through inventory on hand or software service agreements and recognized in the quarter would be additive to the Company’s revenue expectations. Should there be delays in timing or in receiving payments from customers scheduled during the fourth quarter, the Company’s revenue recognition for the year could be adversely affected. Item 8.01 Other Events. Extension of Terms on Accounts Receivable As of the end of the second quarter of 2026, the Company’s accounts receivable balance due from NeoTensr was $13.3 million, which was due on September 24, 2026. On September 30, 2026, NeoTensr paid $0.2 million toward this balance, and the Company has agreed to extend the terms of this receivable, which is now expected to be paid during the fourth quarter of 2026. Revenue Outlook for the Third Quarter of 2026 The information contained under Item 2.02 is incorporated herein by reference. United States (“U.S.”) Government Inquiry and Investigation In July and August 2026, the Company and certain of its employees and members of the Board received subpoenas and inquiries from the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) requesting information relating to the Company’s business and agreements with certain counterparties. The Company has also received voluntary requests for information from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for information substantially similar to that sought by the DOJ. The Company is cooperating with the DOJ and SEC in responding to their requests for information. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigations or whether they will have any impact on the Company’s business and financial condition. Class Action Complaint Filed September 17, 2026 On September 17, 2026, a class action complaint was filed against the Company, certain current and former officers and directors of the Company, and the underwriters of the Company's May 2026 public offering in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Alyahya v. Blaize Holdings, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:26-cv-10609. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants made false and misleading statements or omissions regarding the Company's contracts with Starshine and NeoTensr. The complaint asserts causes of action under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased the Company's common stock between July 17, 2025 and August 13, 2026, inclusive, and causes of action under Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased the Company's common stock pursuant or traceable to the Company's May 2026 public offering. The complaint seeks an order certifying the class; awarding compensatory damages, rescission or rescissory damages, interest, costs, attorneys’ and expert fees; and granting other unspecified relief. The case is at a preliminary stage. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects of the foregoing events and cannot make a reasonable estimate of any outcome, recovery, or loss at this time.
