Operating expenses for the full year were $398.4M. R&D alone consumed $259.9M as the company pushes through FAA certification testing for its H500A electric engine.

CEO Kyle Clark called 2025 a “defining year,” pointing to the company’s IPO, over 120,000 nautical miles flown, and progress across its aircraft certification programs.

BETA received over $4M in U.S. Army funding to advance autonomous flight capabilities, and completed its first ALIA CTOL aircraft built specifically for that purpose.

On the financial side, BETA ended the year with $1.71B in cash, up sharply from $301.4M at the end of 2024. That runway was built through IPO proceeds and private financings completed during the year.

For 2026, the company guided full-year revenue of $39M–$43M, above the $33.96M consensus. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to land between -$305M and -$395M.
