Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (formerly BigBear.ai Holdings, LLC, collectively the “Company” or “Successor”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and the period from May 22, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (Successor) and the consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows of PCI Strategic Management, LLC (Predecessor) for the period from January 1, 2020 through October 22, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and the period from May 22, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2020 through October 22, 2020 (Predecessor), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise)
Note A—Description of the Business
BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc.’s (“BigBear.ai”, “BigBear.ai Holdings”, or the “Company”) mission is to help deliver clarity for clients as they face their most complex decisions. BigBear.ai’s artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered decision intelligence solutions are leveraged across our Cyber & Engineering and Analytics reportable segments and in three primary markets—global supply chains & logistics, autonomous systems and cybersecurity. The Company’s customers, including federal defense and intelligence agencies, manufacturers, third party logistics providers, retailers, healthcare, and life sciences organizations, rely on BigBear.ai’s solutions to empower leaders to decide on the best possible course of action by creating order from complex data, identifying blind spots, and building predictive outcomes. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “we”, “us” and “our” refer collectively to BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
On December 7, 2021, the previously announced merger (“Merger”) with GigCapital4, Inc. (“GigCapital4”) was consummated pursuant to the business combination agreement (the “Agreement”) dated June 4, 2021, as amended in July 2021 and December 2021, by and between GigCapital4 Merger Sub Corporation (the “Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of GigCapital4, BigBear.ai Holdings, and BBAI Ultimate Holdings (“Parent”). Immediately prior to the stockholder vote for the Merger, GigCapital4 executed a series of Forward Share Purchase Agreements (“FPAs”) with certain investors (the “Investors”). Included within the FPAs was a provision that each of the Investors would not redeem their shares and instead would hold the shares for a period of up to three months following the consummation of the Merger, at which time they would have the right to sell the shares to the Company for $10.15 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased all 9,952,803 shares of its common stock at the Investors’ request (refer to Note P—Written Put Option for detail).
Upon the closing of the Merger, GigCapital4 was renamed to BigBear.ai, Holdings Inc., the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registrant. As a result of the Merger, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $101,958 from GigCapital4’s trust account and PIPE Proceeds, and issued $200,000 of unsecured convertible notes that were convertible into 17,391,304 shares of the Company’s common stock at the initial Conversion Price of $11.50, subject to adjustment (refer to Note K—Debt for detail). Proceeds from the Merger were partially used to fund the $114,393 repayment of the Antares Loan and Merger transaction costs and other costs paid through the funds flow of $9,802, consisting of marketing, legal and other professional fees.
The Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in which GigCapital4 is treated as the acquired company. For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as the equivalent of BigBear.ai Holdings issuing equity for the net assets of GigCapital4 followed by a recapitalization. A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting, and the consolidated financial statements of the combined entity (BigBear.ai) represent the continuation of the consolidated financial statements of BigBear.ai Holdings in many respects.
Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, but following the consummation of GigCapital4’s domestication to a Delaware corporation, the authorized capital stock of GigCapital4 consisted of 501,000,000 shares, including (i) 500,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. 135,566,227 shares of common stock and no shares of the preferred stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2021. At the effective time of the Merger, 100 units of BigBear.ai Holdings were cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the Parent’s right to receive, in the aggregate, $75 million in cash and shares in GigCapital4, and Parent exchanged its 100 units of BigBear.ai Holdings for 105,000,000 shares of BigBear.ai’s common stock. In addition, 8,000,000 shares of PIPE financing were issued and 1,495,320 shares were issued to certain advisors. AE Industrial Partners, LP (“AE”) became the majority stockholder of the Company, via its ownership of PCISM Ultimate Holdings, LLC (subsequently renamed to BBAI Ultimate Holdings, LLC), following the close of the Merger (83.5%).
Note B—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Amounts presented within the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise, except for percentages, units, shares, per unit, and per share amounts.
The period from May 22, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and as of December 31, 2020 (the “Successor 2020
BIGBEAR.AI HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise)
Period”), the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Successor 2021 Period”), and the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Successor 2022 Period”) relate to activity of BigBear.ai Holdings and its subsidiaries. The period from January 1, 2020 to October 22, 2020 (the “Predecessor 2020 Period”) relate to the predecessor period. The Successor 2020 Period begins before the Predecessor 2020 Period ended due to the acquisitions that took place prior to the acquisition of PCI.
The PCI, NuWave, Open Solutions, and ProModel acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and the resulting new basis of accounting is reflected in the Successor 2020 Period as of each acquisition date. As a result, financial information of the Predecessor and Successor periods has been prepared under two different bases of accounting and therefore are not comparable.
PCI was identified as the Predecessor through an analysis of various factors, including the size, financial characteristics, and ongoing management.
The audited consolidated financial statements are presented as described below:
•The consolidated financial statements for the Predecessor 2020 Period, which includes the operating results of PCI from January 1, 2020 to October 22, 2020.
•The combined financial statements for the Successor 2020 Period, which includes the operating results of BigBear.ai Holdings and its subsidiaries from each of their respective acquisition dates through December 31, 2020.
•The consolidated financial statements for the Successor 2021 Period and the Successor 2022 Period, which includes the operating results of BigBear.ai Holdings and its subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Accounting policies subject to estimates include valuation of goodwill, intangible assets, impairments, revenue recognition, income taxes, business combinations and equity-based compensation.
Business Combinations
The Company utilizes the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805, for all transactions and events in which it obtains control over one or more other businesses (even if less than 100% ownership is acquired), to recognize the fair value of all assets and liabilities assumed and to establish the acquisition date fair value as of the measurement date.
While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, the estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. For changes in the valuation of intangible assets between the preliminary and final purchase price allocation, the related amortization is adjusted in the period it occurs. Subsequent to the measurement period, any adjustment to assets acquired or liabilities assumed is included in operating results in the period in which the adjustment is determined. Transaction expenses that are incurred in connection with a business combination, other than costs associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues from contracts with customers are from offerings including artificial intelligence and machine learning, data science, advanced analytics, offensive and defensive cyber, data management, cloud solutions, digital engineering, and
BIGBEAR.AI HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise)
systems integration, primarily with the U.S. Government and its agencies. The Company also serves various commercial customers.
The Company organizes its solutions into three markets:
i.Supply Chain & Logistics Solutions: Data Conflation at Scale (providing a full view of operations, enabling real-time tracking of inventory, and facilitating predictive analytics to optimize functions like routes and delivery times), Discrete Event Simulation (Course of Action Analysis & Digital Twins), and Next-Gen Decision Support (e.g. Macroeconomic & Geopolitical Forecasting)
ii.Cybersecurity Solutions: AI-powered / machine-accelerated binary analysis, Cyber-Physical systems vulnerability testing & evaluation, Vulnerability assessment as a Service, and Specialized services for the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community
iii.Autonomous Systems Solutions: AI/machine learning (“ML”) decision intelligence solutions (conflate millions of data points to provide situational awareness, predictive forecasts, and anomaly detection), AI Orchestration as a Service, and specialized consulting services
Each of the Company’s solutions can be sold individually or combined and sold together. Regardless of whether a customer is procuring only one of the Company’s solutions or a combination of solutions, the Company’s contracts generally include a significant service of integrating the solutions with the Company’s customer’s existing solutions and information systems. After the Company implements the solutions, the Company may also enter into contracts with the customers to further refine or customize these solutions to either enhance the functionality or adjust for changes in the customer’s requirements. These post-implementation service contracts are generally performed on a time-and-materials basis.
The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company performs under various types of contracts, which generally include firm-fixed-price (“FFP”), time-and-materials (“T&M”), and cost-reimbursable contracts.
Under fixed-price contracts, the Company agrees to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent the Company’s actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, the Company will generate more or less profit or could incur a loss. Under T&M contracts, the Company agrees to perform the specified work for a pre-determined rate per hour, as well as the reimbursement of other direct billable costs which are presented on a gross basis. Cost-reimbursable contracts provide for the payment of allowable costs incurred during performance of the contract plus a fee up to a ceiling based on the amount that has been funded. The majority of our cost-reimbursable contracts are cost-plus-fixed-fee, which provide a fixed fee that is negotiated at the inception of the contract and does not vary with actual costs.
For T&M contracts and cost-reimbursable contracts, the Company has a right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Company’s performance and recognizes revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice (the “right to invoice” practical expedient).
The Company assesses each contract at its inception to determine whether it should be combined with other contracts. When making this determination, the Company considers factors such as whether two or more contracts were negotiated and executed at or near the same time or were negotiated with an overall profit objective. If combined, the Company treats the combined contracts as one single contract for revenue recognition purposes.
The Company generally uses internally developed and third-party applications, which the Company integrates, when implementing solutions to meet specific customer requirements. The Company evaluates the solutions or services promised in each contract at inception to determine whether the contract should be accounted for as having one or more performance obligations. Each of the Company’s solutions is capable of being distinct as the customer can benefit from each individual solution on its own or with other resources that are readily available. When customer contracts include a significant service of integrating the solutions to provide a set of integrated or highly interrelated tasks, the Company accounts for these arrangements as a single performance obligation. While the contracts provide customers access to the Company’s solutions, the contracts generally do not contain separate licensing provisions for independent use of the underlying internally developed software. Additionally, these components are highly interdependent and highly interrelated into the solutions delivered to the Company’s customers. Therefore, these components are not capable of being distinct and are not separately identifiable from the other
BIGBEAR.AI HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise)
promises in the contract. In cases where customer contracts have an explicit licensing provision to the underlying software, such software is generally accounted for as a separate performance obligation.
The Company determines the transaction price for each contract based on the consideration the Company expects to receive for the solutions or services being provided under the contract. For contracts where a portion of the price may vary, the Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount, which is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company analyzes the risk of a significant revenue reversal and if necessary, constrains the amount of variable consideration recognized in order to mitigate this risk.
At the inception of a contract, the Company estimates the transaction price based on its current rights and does not contemplate future modifications (including unexercised options) or follow-on contracts until they become legally enforceable. Contracts are often subsequently modified to include changes in specifications, requirements or price, which may create new or change existing enforceable rights and obligations. Depending on the nature of the modification, the Company considers whether to account for the modification as an adjustment to the existing contract or as a separate contract. The Company’s contracts with the U.S. Government often contain options to renew existing contracts for an additional period of time (generally a year at a time) under the same terms and conditions as the original contract, and generally do not provide the customer any material rights under the contract. Therefore, such modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract and may result in a cumulative adjustment to revenue recognized. The Company accounts for renewal options as separate contracts when they include distinct goods or services at standalone selling prices.
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated standalone selling price of the solution or service underlying each performance obligation. The standalone selling price represents the amount for which the Company would sell the solution or service to a customer on a standalone basis (i.e., not bundled with any other solutions or services). The Company’s contracts with the U.S. government are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) and priced on estimated or actual costs of providing the goods or services. The FAR provides guidance on types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided to the U.S. government and its agencies. Each contract is competitively priced and bid separately. Pricing for non-U.S. government agencies and commercial customers is based on specific negotiations with each customer. In circumstances where the standalone selling price is not directly observable, the Company estimates the standalone selling price using the expected cost-plus margin approach.
The Company recognizes revenue as performance obligations are satisfied and the customer obtains control of the solutions and services. In determining when performance obligations are satisfied, the Company considers factors such as contract terms, payment terms and whether there is an alternative future use of the solution or service. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized over time as the Company performs under the contract because control of the work in process transfers continuously to the customer. For most contracts with the U.S. Government, this continuous transfer of control of the work in process to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that give the customer ownership of work in process and allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience and pay the Company for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit. For most non-U.S. Government contracts, continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported because the Company delivers solutions that do not have an alternative use to the Company and if the Company’s customer were to terminate the contract for reasons other than the Company’s non-performance, the Company would have the right to recover damages which would include, among other potential damages, the right to payment for the work performed to date plus a reasonable profit.
For performance obligations to deliver solutions with continuous transfer of control to the customer, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation, generally using the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost measure of progress for the Company’s contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer as the Company incurs costs on the contracts. Under the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost 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). For T&M contracts, revenue is recognized over time based on costs incurred or the right to invoice method (in situations where the value transferred matches the Company’s billing rights) as the customer receives and consumes the benefits.
For arrangements with the U.S. Government, the Company generally does not begin work on contracts until funding is appropriated by the customer. Billing timetables and payment terms on the Company’s contracts vary based on a number of factors, including the contract type. Cost-reimbursable and T&M contracts are generally billed on a monthly basis. FFP contracts are generally billed based on milestones, which are the achievement of specific events as defined in the contract. Amounts billed and due from customers are classified as receivables on the combined balance sheets. On some contracts, the Company may be

(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise)
entitled to receive an advance payment, which is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to facilitate inventory demands at the onset of a contract and to safeguard the Company from the failure of the other party to abide by some or all of their obligations under the contract.
In some cases where a portion of payment retained by the customer is not considered a significant financing component; the Company expects, at contract inception, that the lag period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will not constitute a significant financing component.
Sale of Products
Revenue from sale of products to customers purchased from third parties is recognized at a point in time when control has transferred to the customer. Control is transferred to the customer upon customer acceptance or receipt of the product. At this point in time, the Company has a present right to payment, and the customer has legal title and physical possession of the product as well as the risks and rewards of ownership.
Contract Balances
Contract balances result from the timing of revenue recognized, billings and cash collections, and the generation of contract assets and liabilities.
Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts invoiced to the customer and the right to payment is not subject to the passage of time. Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of revenues and customer advances. Billings in excess of revenues represents milestone billing contracts where the billings of the contract exceed recognized revenues
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand, cash balances with banks and similar institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.
Restricted Cash
The Company’s restricted cash consists of cash deposited into escrow accounts reflecting the full obligation to certain investors related to the FPAs. The funds held in the escrow accounts as at December 31, 2021 were not available to the Company for three months following the consummation of the Merger unless and until any of the Investors sold these shares in the market or the investors redeemed their shares under FPAs by March 7, 2022. The Company settled its obligations under the FPAs during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are the long-lived, physical assets of the Company acquired for use in the Company’s normal business operations and not intended for resale by the Company. These assets are recorded at cost. Renewals and betterments that increase the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Repair and maintenance expenditures that increase the efficiency of the assets are expensed as incurred. Assets under capital leases are recorded at the present value of the minimum lease payments required during the lease period. Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method and is included in selling, general and administrative or cost of revenues based upon the asset. Expected useful lives are reviewed at least annually. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
| | | | | |
Property and equipment | Estimate useful life in years |
Computer equipment | 3 |
Furniture and fixtures | 7 |
Laboratory equipment | 5-10 |
Software | 3-5 |
Leasehold improvements | 5 or lease term |
BIGBEAR.AI HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise)
As assets are retired or sold, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.
The Company regularly evaluates its property and equipment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. If the Company determines that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable based upon the undiscounted expected future cash flows of the asset or asset group, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying amount over the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group.
Finite-lived Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets result from the Company’s various business combinations and consist of identifiable finite-lived intangible assets, including technology and customer relationships. These finite-lived intangible assets are reported at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and are either amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives or over the period the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed.
The Company regularly evaluates its intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other. If the Company determines that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable based upon the undiscounted expected future cash flows of the asset or asset group, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying amount over the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group.
Leases
The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. An arrangement is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has operating leases for office space, automobiles, and other equipment that expire at various dates through 2040. These lease terms may include optional renewals, terminations or purchases, which are considered in the Company’s assessments when such options are reasonably certain to be exercised.
The Company measures right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities based on the present value of remaining lease payments. Lease contracts may include fixed payments for non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, which are included in the measurement of lease liabilities for certain asset classes based on the Company’s election to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company does not recognize short-term leases, those lease contracts with durations of twelve months or less, on the consolidated balance sheets.
As applicable borrowing rates are not typically implied within the lease arrangements, the Company discounts lease payments based on its estimated incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement, or modification, which is based on the Company’s estimated credit rating and the lease term at commencement.
Warrants
As part of GigCapital4’s Initial Public Offering, public and private warrants were issued, which were assumed by BigBear.ai upon consummation of the Merger. Warrants are accounted for in accordance with the guidance of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), under which private warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and are classified as liabilities measured at fair value. Public warrants meet the criteria for equity classification. The Company measured the private warrant liability at fair value at the closing of the Merger and then at each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Written Put Option
The Written Put Option is a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because it embodies an obligation to
repurchase the Company’s shares by paying cash. Furthermore, the Written Put Option meets the definition of derivative under ASC 815. Therefore, the Written Put Option is classified as a current liability measured at fair value and is presented in Derivative liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021. The unrealized gains and losses from changes
BIGBEAR.AI HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise)
in the fair value of the Written Put Option is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company settled the derivative liability associated with the Written Put Option during the first quarter of 2022.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), 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 market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:
Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
These inputs are based on Company’s own assumptions about current market conditions and require significant management judgement or estimation. Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, private warrants, written put options, and debt. Cash equivalents are stated at fair value on a recurring basis. Accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt of payment date. Private warrants and written put options are marked to fair value on a periodic basis.
Income Taxes
The Company estimates its current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items not currently deductible for tax purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, which are estimated based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. In general, deferred tax assets represent future tax benefits to be received when certain expenses previously recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations become deductible expenses under applicable income tax laws or loss or credit carry forwards are utilized. Accordingly, the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets are dependent on future taxable income against which these deductions, losses, and credits can be utilized.
The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and recognizes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a future benefit on such deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in the valuation allowance, when recorded, would be included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Management’s judgment is required in determining the Company’s valuation allowance recorded against its net deferred tax assets.
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision (benefit) for income taxes. As of December 31, 2022, the Company accrued $785 for uncertain tax positions.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, certificates of deposit, and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit quality. At times, such amounts may exceed federally insured limits. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash on deposit or invested with financial and lending institutions was $12,632 and $169,921, as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The Company provides credit to customers in the normal course of business. The carrying amount of current accounts receivable

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise)
is stated at cost, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of accounts receivable that will not be fully collected. The allowance is based on the assessment of the following factors: customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, and age of outstanding accounts receivable and any applicable collateral.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined that it operates in two operating and reportable segments, Cyber & Engineering and Analytics, as the CODM reviews financial information presented for both segments on a disaggregated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.
Cyber & Engineering
The Cyber & Engineering segment provides high-end technology and management consulting services to its customers. This segment focuses in the areas of cloud engineering and enterprise IT, cybersecurity, computer network operations and wireless, systems engineering, strategy and program planning. The segment’s primary solutions relate to the identification of cyber-attack risks and the development and deployment of customized solutions to mitigate those risks.
Analytics
The Analytics segment provides high-end technology and consulting services to its customers. This segment focuses on the areas of big data computing and analytical solutions, including predictive and prescriptive analytic software solutions. The segment’s primary solutions assist customers in aggregating, interpreting, and synthesizing data to enable real-time decision-making capabilities.
The Predecessor operated as a single reportable operating segment of Cyber & Engineering.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination on the date of acquisition. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually as of October 1, on a reporting unit basis, or when events and circumstances occur indicating that the recorded goodwill may be impaired. The Company assesses impairment first on a qualitative basis to determine if a quantitative assessment is necessary. In circumstances where the qualitative analysis indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit does not exceed its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test by which the goodwill impairment loss is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All indefinite-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually, and as necessary if indicators of impairment are present.
Internal-Use Software
Costs incurred in developing internal-use software are either capitalized or expensed, depending on both the nature of the costs and the phase of development in which they are incurred. Costs incurred for implementation activities during the preliminary and post-implementation phases of a project are expensed as incurred, while costs incurred during the application development phase are generally capitalized. Costs incurred to upgrade or enhance existing software are capitalized if the changes result in additional functionality, but these costs are expensed if the software’s functionality is not improved. No costs were capitalized during the Successor 2022 Period, Successor 2021 Period, Successor 2020 Period, and Predecessor 2020 Period.
Equity-based Compensation
Pursuant to ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, stock-based awards are measured at fair value on the grant date. For equity classified equity-based awards without performance conditions, the Company recognizes equity-based compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. For equity classified equity-based awards with performance conditions, the Company recognizes equity-based compensation cost using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite

service period when the Company determines it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied. The Company recognizes forfeitures of equity-based awards in the period they occur.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are primarily made up of labor charges, prototype material, and development expenses. Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Advertising Costs
All advertising, promotional and marketing costs are expensed when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations. The table below presents advertising costs for the following periods:

Net (Loss) Income per Share
Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income applicable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share assumes conversion of potentially dilutive shares, such as stock options. The Company’s consolidated statements of operations include a presentation of net loss per share for the Successor 2022 Period, the Successor 2021 Period, and the Successor 2020 Period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, there were various updates that amended and clarified the impact of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 broadens the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 will require an entity to record an allowance for credit losses for certain financial instruments and financial assets, including accounts receivable, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit losses. The new guidance will be effective for the years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”) (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes the current lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and related lease liability for all leases, with a limited exception for short-term leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of operations. Under ASC 840, leases were classified as either capital or operating, with any capital leases recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. The reporting of lease-related expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows will be generally consistent with ASC 840.
The Company adopted ASC 842 utilizing the modified retrospective method on January 1, 2022 and elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of a $4,533 right-of-use

asset and $4,622 lease liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets upon adoption. Refer to Note L—Leases for more information.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). Upon the issuance of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which provides a single comprehensive accounting model on revenue recognition for contracts with customers, stakeholders indicated that there are differing views on whether the concept of a performance obligation introduced by ASC 606 should be used to determine whether a contract liability is recognized in a business combination from revenue contracts. Before the adoption date of ASC 606, a liability for deferred revenue was generally recognized in an acquirer’s financial statements if it represented a legal obligation. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 address how to determine whether a contract liability is recognized by the acquirer in a business combination. Additionally, stakeholders raised questions about how to apply ASC 805 to contracts with a customer acquired in a business. Under current practice, the timing of payment for a revenue contract may subsequently affect the amount of post-acquisition revenue recognized by the acquirer. For example, if two revenue contracts with identical performance obligations are acquired but one contract is paid upfront before the acquisition and the other contract is paid over the contract term after the acquisition, the amount of revenue recognized by the acquirer after the business combination likely would differ between the two acquired contracts. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 resolve this inconsistency by providing specific guidance on how to recognize and measure acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. The new guidance will be effective for the years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company prospectively adopted ASU 2021-08 as of January 1, 2022.
Note C—Restructuring Charges
The Company initiated a restructuring action in the third quarter of 2022 and an additional restructuring action in the fourth quarter of 2022, both of which were completed as of December 31, 2022. The restructuring charges resulted from a strategic review of the Company’s capacity and future projections, with the purpose being to better align our organization and cost structure and improve the affordability of our products and services. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded employee separation costs of $3,302, net of tax benefits. As of December 31, 2022, $1,767 of these cost had been settled. A liability reflecting unpaid employee separation costs of $1,535 is presented on the consolidated balance sheets within other current liabilities. In addition, the Company vacated certain underutilized real estate leases and as a result recognized an impairment of the associated right-of-use assets of $901. Refer to Note L—Leases for more information on the impairment.
The table below summarizes total restructuring charges by reportable segment for the year ended December 31, 2022:

Note G—Goodwill
During the second quarter for the year ending December 31, 2022, the Company identified factors indicating that the fair value of both the Cyber & Engineering and Analytics reporting units may be less than their respective carrying amounts. These factors were related to a shift in the Federal Government’s focus to address immediate needs in Ukraine, causing a slowdown in the pace of contract awards. This resulted in lower revenues than anticipated during the period and caused future revenue projections to be revised. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment, as described further below, and concluded that the carrying value of the Cyber & Engineering reporting unit exceeded its fair value and accordingly the Company recorded a non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge of $35,252, which is included within the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.
During the fourth quarter of the year ending December 31, 2022, the Company identified factors indicating that the fair value of the Analytics reporting unit may be less than its carrying amount. These factors were related to current macroeconomic headwinds, delays in contract awards, and changes to previously anticipated growth rates. This resulted in lower revenues than anticipated during the period and caused future revenue projections to be revised. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment, as described further below, and concluded that the carrying value of the Analytics reporting unit exceeded its fair value and accordingly the Company recorded a non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge of

$18,292, which is included within the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company utilized a combination of the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method of the Income Approach and the Market Approach. Under the Income Approach, the future cash flows of the Company’s reporting units were projected based on estimates of future revenues, gross margins, operating income, excess net working capital, capital expenditures, and other factors. The Company utilized estimated revenue growth rates and cash flow projections. The discount rates utilized in the DCF method were based on a weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”) determined from relevant market comparisons and adjusted for specific reporting unit risks and capital structure. A terminal value estimated growth rate was applied to the final year of the projected period and reflected the Company’s estimate of perpetual growth. The Company then calculated the present value of the respective cash flows for each reporting unit to arrive at an estimate of fair value under the Income Approach. The Market Approach is comprised of the Guideline Public Company and the Guideline Transactions Methods. The Guideline Public Company Method focuses on comparing the Company to selected reasonably similar (or guideline) publicly traded companies. Under this method, valuation multiples were: (i) derived from the operating data of selected guideline companies; (ii) evaluated and adjusted based on the strengths and weaknesses of the Company relative to the selected guideline companies; and (iii) applied to the operating data of the Company to arrive at an indication of value. In the Guideline Transactions Method, consideration was given to prices paid in recent transactions that had occurred in the Company’s industry or in related industries. The Company then reconciled the estimated fair value of its reporting units to its total public market capitalization as of the valuation date.

Convertible Notes
Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company issued $200.0 million of unsecured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) to certain investors. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum, payable semi-annually, and not including any interest payments that are settled with the issuance of shares, were initially convertible into 17,391,304 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial Conversion Price of $11.50. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustments. On May 29, 2022, pursuant to the Convertible Note indenture, the conversion rate applicable to the Convertible Notes was adjusted to 94.2230 (previously 86.9565) shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes because the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of the common stock during the preceding 30 trading days was less than $10.00 (the “Conversion Rate Reset”). After giving effect to the Conversion Rate Reset, the Conversion Price is $10.61 and the Convertible Notes are convertible into 18,844,600 shares, not including any interest payments that are settled with the issuance of shares. The Convertible Note financing matures on December 15, 2026.
The Company may, at its election, force conversion of the Convertible Notes after December 15, 2022 and prior to October 7, 2026 if the trading price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for 20 out of the preceding 30 trading days and the 30-day average daily trading volume ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to $3.0 million for the first two years after the initial issuance of the Convertible Notes and $2.0 million thereafter. Upon such conversion, the Company will be obligated to pay all regularly scheduled interest payments, if any, due on the converted Convertible Notes on each interest payment date occurring after the conversion date for such conversion to, but excluding, the maturity date (such interest payments, an “Interest Make-Whole Payments”). In the event that a holder of the Convertible Notes elects to convert the Convertible Notes (a) prior to December 15, 2024, the Company will be obligated to pay an amount equal to twelve months of interest or (b) on or after December 15, 2024 but prior to December 15, 2025, any accrued and unpaid interest plus any remaining amounts that would be owed up to, but excluding, December 15, 2025. The Interest Make-Whole Payments will be payable in cash or shares of the common stock at the Company’s election, as set forth in the Indenture.
Following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if the Company exercises its mandatory conversion right in connection with such corporate events, the conversion rate will be increased in certain circumstances for a holder who elects, or has been forced, to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate events.
If a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Convertible Note indenture) occurs prior to the maturity date, holders of the Convertible Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of their Convertible Notes in principal amounts of one thousand dollars or an integral multiple thereof, at a repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
The Convertible Notes require the Company to meet certain financial and other covenants. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
On May 29, 2022, pursuant to the conversion rate adjustment provisions in the Convertible Note indenture, the Conversion Price was adjusted to $10.61 (or 94.2230 shares of common stock per one thousand dollars of principal amount of Convertible Notes).
BIGBEAR.AI HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise)
Subsequent to the adjustment, the Convertible Notes are convertible into 18,844,600 shares, not including any interest payments that are settled with the issuance of shares.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company has an outstanding balance of $200.0 million related to the Convertible Notes, which is recorded on the balance sheet net of approximately $7.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs.
Bank of America Senior Revolver
The Company is party to a senior credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank of America Credit Agreement”), entered into on December 7, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), subsequently amended on November 8, 2022, providing the Company with a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Revolver”). Proceeds from the Senior Revolver will be used to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes. The Senior Revolver matures on December 7, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”).
The Senior Revolver is secured by a pledge of 100% of the equity of certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets. The Senior Revolver includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for borrowings on same-day notice, referred to as the “swing loans.” Any issuance of letters of credit or making of a swing loan will reduce the amount available under the revolving credit facility. The Company may increase the commitments under the Senior Revolver in an aggregate amount of up to the greater of $25.0 million or 100% of consolidated adjusted EBITDA plus any additional amounts so long as certain conditions, including compliance with the applicable financial covenants for such period, in each case on a pro forma basis, are satisfied.
As of the Closing Date, borrowings under the Senior Revolver bear interest, at the Company’s option, at:
(i)A Base Rate plus a Base Rate Margin of 2.00%. Base Rate is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., and (c) Bloomberg Short-Term Yield Index (“BSBY”) Rate plus 1.00%; or
(ii)The BSBY Rate plus a BSBY Margin of 1.00%.
The Base Rate Margin and BSBY Margin became subject to adjustment based on the Company’s Secured Net Leverage Ratio after March 31, 2022. The Company is also required to pay unused commitment fees and letter of credit fees under the Bank of America Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment (defined below) increased the Base Rate Margin, BSBY Margin and unused commitment fees by 0.25%.
The Bank of America Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial and other covenants. The Company was not in compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage ratio requirement as of June 30, 2022, and as a result was unable to draw on the facility. The Company notified Bank of America N.A. of the covenant violation, and on August 9, 2022, entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Bank of America Credit Agreement, which, among other things, waived the requirement that the Company demonstrate compliance with the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio provided for in the Credit Agreement for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
The Company was not in compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage ratio requirement as of September 30, 2022, and as a result was unable to draw on the facility. On November 8, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Bank of America Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which modifies key terms of the Senior Revolver. As a result of the Second Amendment, funds available under the Senior Revolver are reduced to $25.0 million from $50.0 million, limited to a borrowing base of 90% of Eligible Prime Government Receivables and Eligible Subcontractor Government Receivables, plus 85% of Eligible Commercial Receivables. Additionally, the Second Amendment increased the Base Rate Margin, BSBY Margin and unused commitment fees by 0.25%. Following entry into the Second Amendment, the Senior Revolver no longer is subject to a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio covenant. In order for the facility to become available for borrowings (the “initial availability quarter”), the Company must report Adjusted EBITDA of at least one dollar. Commencing on the first fiscal quarter after the initial availability quarter, the Company is required to have aggregated reported Adjusted EBITDA of at least $1 over the two preceding quarters to maintain its ability to borrow under the Senior Revolver (though the inability to satisfy such condition does not result in a default under the Senior Revolver).
Failure to meet these Adjusted EBITDA requirements is not deemed to be a default but will limit the Company’s ability to make borrowings under the Senior Revolver until such time that the Company is able meet the Adjusted EBITDA thresholds as defined

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise)
in the Second Amendment. As the initial availability quarter is the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company was unable to draw on the Senior Revolver as of December 31, 2022.
The Second Amendment removes the requirement that the Company demonstrate compliance with the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio.
Based on current forecasts, management believes that it is reasonably likely that the Company may fail to meet the minimum Adjusted EBITDA requirements of the Bank of America Credit Agreement in future periods and therefore, may be unable to draw on the facility. Management performed a cash flow analysis to identify the Company’s projected approximate cash flow and liquidity needs for the next 12 months. Based on the Company’s projected cash flow and liquidity needs, we believe that our cash from operating activities generated from continuing operations during the year will be adequate for the next 12 months to meet our anticipated uses of cash flow, including payroll obligations, working capital, operating lease obligations, capital expenditures and debt service costs, and it is considered unlikely that the Company would require access to draw funds on the Senior Revolver in the foreseeable future.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had not drawn on the Line of Credit. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $198 as of December 31, 2022, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets and are presented in other non-current assets.
D&O Financing Loan
On December 8, 2021, the Company entered into a $4,233 loan (the “D&O Financing Loan”) with AFCO Credit Corporation to finance the Company’s directors and officers insurance premium through December 2022. The D&O Financing Loan had an interest rate of 1.50% per annum and a maturity date of December 8, 2022.
On December 8, 2022, the Company entered into a $2,059 loan (the “2023 D&O Financing Loan”) with AFCO Credit Corporation to finance the Company’s directors and officers insurance premium through December 2023. The 2023 D&O Financing Loan required an upfront payment of $1,109 and has an interest rate of 5.75% per annum and a maturity date of December 8, 2023.
Note L—Leases
The Company is obligated under operating leases for certain real estate and office equipment assets. The Company’s finance leases are not material. Certain leases contained predetermined fixed escalation of minimum rents at rates ranging from 2.5% to 5.4% per annum and remaining lease terms of up to eight years, some of which include renewal options that could extend certain leases to up to an additional five years.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company vacated certain underutilized real estate leases as a result of its continued efforts to consolidate administrative functions and reduce overhead costs. The Company intends to sublease certain of these leases (where practicable and contractually permitted), and as of December 31, 2022, had subleased two of the vacated real estate leases and recognized $48 of sublease income on the consolidated statements of operations.
The decision to vacate these real estate leases is considered an indicator of impairment of the right-of-use asset. The Company utilized a discounted cash flow to estimate the fair value as of the date each lease was vacated. This included, amongst other inputs, estimating future sublease income through the end of each remaining lease term (where contractually permitted). These cash flows were discounted using a risk-adjusted risk-free rate. The carrying value of the right-of-use assets exceeded its estimated fair value and as a result, the Company recognized an impairment expense of $901, which is presented in restructuring charges on the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Note M—Income Taxes
The Predecessor was established and taxed as a partnership, and therefore, was not generally subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes. The tax attributes of the Predecessor are reported on each members’ respective income tax return. Consequently, the provision for income tax provided in the accompanying financial statements arose in states that assess income tax at the entity level.
The Successor is established as a limited liability company and has elected to be taxed as a corporation for federal, state, and local income tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has $86,647 of U.S. state net operating losses which will begin to expire in 2031.
A valuation allowance is provided for deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that future tax benefits will not be realized. The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be established against deferred tax assets based upon consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a more likely than not standard. This assessment considers, among other matters, the Company’s history of losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with tax attributes expiring, impacts of enacted changes in tax laws and tax planning strategies, and the taxable income generated through the future reversals of deferred tax liabilities. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. After analyzing all available evidence, the Company determined it was more likely that it would be not able to utilize all of its deferred tax assets, and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. The Company had valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets of $43,347 and $13,439 as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The valuation allowance of $13,439 was initially established during the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the increase of $29,908 in the valuation allowance was primarily attributable to a net increase in our deferred tax assets resulting from net operating losses, section 174 capitalization, and goodwill impairment.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $785 and $—, respectively. The unrecognized tax benefit was recorded as a reduction in our gross deferred tax assets, offset by a corresponding reduction in our valuation allowance. None of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate because of the valuation allowance. There are no interest and penalties associated with the unrecognized tax benefits. We are subject to income taxes only in the United States, and all tax years since the Company’s inception are open for examination.
