Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1.Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

References in this section to “BlueHalo,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” are to BlueHalo Financing Holdings, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries before giving effect to the Eqlipse Transactions (defined below), and to BlueHalo Financing TopCo, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Eqlipse Transactions (defined below) but before giving effect to the potential merger with AeroVironment, Inc. and related transactions, unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise indicated.

 

References in this section to “Eqlipse Technologies” or “Eqlipse” are to Eqlipse Technologies Financing Holdings, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries before giving effect to the Eqlipse Transactions (defined below), unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise indicated.

 

BlueHalo is a leading provider of advanced defense and intelligence solutions, specializing in multidomain technologies that address some of the most complex challenges faced by the national security community. With a steadfast commitment to innovation, agility, and customer intimacy, BlueHalo delivers cutting-edge products and solutions across the following key mission areas: Counter-Uncrewed Aerial Systems (C-UAS) & Autonomous Systems, Uncrewed Maritime Systems, Space, Electronic Warfare (EW) & Cyber, and Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML). BlueHalo’s customers are primarily the U.S. Government and corresponding federal agencies, the Department of Defense (DoD), allied and coalition partners, and commercial clients.

 

In March 2024, as part of the Eqlipse Transactions (defined below), the Company completed a legal entity reorganization of entities under common control. The reorganization resulted in a change of reporting entity and a recapitalization of the reporting entity’s equity structure. Refer to Eqlipse Transactions and Basis of Presentation within this footnote.

 

Eqlipse Transactions

 

Prior to March 1, 2024, the business of BlueHalo was conducted through BlueHalo Financing Holdings, LLC (“BlueHalo Holdings”) and its consolidated subsidiaries. BlueHalo Holdings was wholly owned by BlueHalo Holdings Parent, LLC (“BlueHalo Parent”).

 

On March 1, 2024, BlueHalo Parent entered into and executed an agreement and plan of merger with Eqlipse Technologies Holdings Parent, LLC (“Eqlipse Parent”), pursuant to which BlueHalo Parent issued equity to acquire Eqlipse Parent and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Eqlipse Acquisition”) through a series of mergers and entity contributions (collectively with the “Equity Acquisition” or the “Eqlipse Transactions”). As a result of the Eqlipse Transactions, Eqlipse Technologies, previously a wholly owned subsidiary of Eqlipse Parent (i) became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of BlueHalo Parent (ii) became the sole member of BlueHalo Holdings through the issuance of 1,092,493 common units of Eqlipse Technologies in exchange for the 100 membership units of BlueHalo Holdings owned by BlueHalo Parent and (iii) was renamed to BlueHalo Financing TopCo, LLC (“BlueHalo TopCo”).

 

AeroVironment, Inc. Acquisition of BlueHalo

 

On May 1, 2025 the Company and AeroVironment, Inc. executed a Definitive Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, all of the equity interest of BlueHalo immediately prior to the closing were canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof were converted into the right to receive 17,425,849 shares of AeroVironment. AeroVironment issued all of the Transaction Consideration to BlueHalo and distributed all of the Transaction Consideration to the equity holders of the Company, which included holders of incentive units and restricted common units of Seller in accordance with the Merger Agreement. All outstanding incentive units and restricted common units of Seller became vested as of immediately prior to the closing (to the extent unvested and not otherwise vested at closing pursuant to their terms) and also were entitled to receive a portion of the Transaction Consideration in connection with the Seller Liquidation and Seller Distribution. Subsequent to the closing BlueHalo used the proceeds from the transaction to settle all outstanding debt positions.

Going Concern

 

In accordance with the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, when preparing financial statements for each interim reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In making its assessment, management considered the Company’s (defined below) current financial condition and liquidity sources including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and conditional and unconditional obligations due over the next twelve months.

 

As described further in Note 8. Notes Payable, the Company had a significant outstanding debt obligation that was scheduled to mature within one year of the issuance of the December 31, 2024 financial statements, which resulted in the Company concluding that substantial doubt existed,

 

As noted in Note 15, Subsequent Events, AeroVironment and BlueHalo executed the Merger Agreement on May 1, 2025. The proceeds received by the Company as a result of the Merger agreement were used to settle all outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the repayment of this debt has alleviated the substantial doubt that had previously existed regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

 

Business Combination

 

BlueHalo Parent accounted for the Eqlipse Acquisition as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Refer to Note 2. Acquisitions for further information on the business combination accounting for the Eqlipse Acquisition.

 

Common Control Transaction

 

The reorganization transactions subsequent to the Eqlipse Acquisition were accounted for as transactions between entities under common control which resulted in a change in reporting entity and required retrospective combination of the entities from the inception of common control. As common control of the entities was established on March 1, 2024, the Company assessed and determined that Bluehalo Holdings was the receiving entity for accounting purposes in contemplation of the common control transactions because it was under common control of BlueHalo Parent first. These common control reorganization events are accounted for akin to a reverse recapitalization with the combined entity representing a continuation of the consolidated financial results of BlueHalo adjusted for the Eqlipse Transactions on March 1, 2024, the date common control was established.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BlueHalo TopCo, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “BlueHalo” or the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Redeemable Preferred Units and Member’s Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes to such interim condensed consolidated financial statements, are unaudited. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of future results or results for the full fiscal year or for any other period.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 date of the consolidated financial statements. Such estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses, determination of revenue recognition under ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, fair value of incentive units, and valuation of common and preferred units, unit-based compensation, intangible assets, and goodwill.

 

The Company evaluates estimates based on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions. The Company assesses these estimates on a regular basis; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Our significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company faces various risks related to U.S. Government funding decisions. Delays in funding decisions or re-appropriation of funds for programs could have an impact on the Company’s revenues. Management continues to monitor government budgetary and funding activities, to assess possible implications to operations and revenues, and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences in the case of any delays or re-appropriation of funds. The Company also continues to actively pursue new opportunities that may result from such changes.

8.Notes Payable

 

Aegis Global Holdings, LLC, which was renamed BlueHalo Global Holdings, LLC in 2020, initially entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) on October 31, 2019. The Credit Agreement provided a $10.0 million revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility) and $30.0 million in term loans (the “Term Loan”). Over time, the Credit Agreement has been amended and restated multiple times, resulting in significant increases in Revolving Loan Facility, Term Loan, and the swing-line loans. By December 31, 2024, Revolving Loan Facility had increased to approximately $45.0 million and Term Loan had increased to approximately $736.1 million.

 

On January 8, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Tenth Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement. The Tenth Amendment provided an additional $40.0 million of Term Loan with no changes to the Revolving Loan Facility, interest rate, or maturity date. The Company accounted for the transactions associated with the Tenth Amendment as a debt modification, and as a result the Company deferred $0.2 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the transaction.

On March 26, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement. Among other things the Eleventh Amendment (i) provided an additional $25.0 million of Term Loan with no changes to the Revolving Loan Facility, interest rate, or maturity date. The Company accounted for the transactions associated with the Eleventh Amendment as a debt modification, and as a result the Company recognized $0.02 million in third party fees in selling, general, and administrative expenses and deferred $0.1 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the transaction.

 

BlueHalo Financing Holdings,LLC, BlueHalo Global Holdings, LLC and BlueHalo, LLC and its subsidiaries are considered guarantors (the “Guarantors”) per the Credit Agreement.

The Term Loan and Revolving Loan Facility are subject to a financial maintenance covenant that requires the Company to maintain a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, tested quarterly. The Company was compliant with all covenants in the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

Revolving Loan Facility

 

The Revolving Loan Facility matures on October 31, 2025. Following the Tenth and Eleventh Amendment, the maximum available under the Revolving Loan Facility is $51.0 million, with up to $10.0 million available for letters of credit and a swingline sublimit of $4.0 million. As of March 31, 2025, there were $45.0 million of advances on the Revolving Loan Facility, $2.5 million of letters of credit outstanding, and $3.5 million was available to borrow. As of December 31, 2024, there were $45.0 million of advances on the Revolving Loan Facility, $2.5 million of letters of credit outstanding, and $3.5 million was available to borrow.

 

Draws on the Revolving Loan Facility bears interest at a variable rate equal to a base rate margin ranging from 3.75% to 5.00% plus a SOFR margin ranging from 4.75% to 6.00%. The weighted average effective interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility at March 31, 2025 is 1.55%. A 0.5% commitment fee is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to a base rate margin ranging from 3.75% to 5.00% plus a SOFR margin ranging from 4.75% to 6.00%.

 

Beginning in 2020 and applicable to all subsequent periods, the Company is required to prepay the Term Loan with a percentage of the Company’s annual consolidated excess cash flow if the first lien net leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00. The Company is able to prepay amounts outstanding under the Term Loan without a prepayment penalty.

 

All principal outstanding on the revolving credit facility will be due to be paid on the maturity date of the revolving credit facility, October 31, 2025. As disclosed in Note 1, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the proceeds received by the Company as a result of the Merger agreement were used to settle all outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement on May 1, 2025.

10.Revenue

 

Remaining Performance Obligations

 

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $0.4 billion of remaining performance obligations under contracts with its customers. The Company currently expects to recognize approximately $0.4 billion of the remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next 12 months and the remaining to be recognized thereafter.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by contract and customer type as the Company believes these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

 

 

 

 

BlueHalo Financing TopCo, LLC

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Disaggregated revenues by contract type were as follows (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2025   2024 
Cost Plus  $108,293   $105,112 
Fixed Price   70,418    29,541 
Time and Materials   31,453    27,590 
Total revenue  $210,164   $162,243 

 

Disaggregated revenues by customer type were as follows (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2025   2024 
U.S. Government  $176,655   $156,938 
Non-U.S. Government   33,509    5,305 
Total revenue  $210,164   $162,243 

 

Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and contract liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, the Company sometimes receives advance payments or deposits prior to the commencement of work, as well as milestone payments that are paid in accordance with the terms of the contract as work is performed, which results in contract liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets and liabilities are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract- by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

 

Contract balances consist of the following (in thousands):

 

   As of, 
   March 31, 2025   December 31, 2024 
Billed receivables net of credit losses  $65,478   $116,748 
Contract assets   124,533    100,736 
Contract receivables  $190,011   $217,484 
Contract liabilities  $23,468   $44,121 

 

The decrease in contract receivables from March 31, 2025 is primarily a result of significant project milestones being reached, accelerated billing cycles, and improved efficiency in the billing process. The decrease in contract liabilities from year end is primarily due to completion of advance payment projects, and the recognition of revenue on contracts for which the Company was paid in prior periods. The Company anticipates that substantially all of such amounts will be earned as revenue within one year when the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

11.Preferred Units

 

The Company was formed as Eqlipse Technologies Financing Holdings, LLC by filing a Certificate of Formation on September 12, 2022. On March 1, 2024, the Company changed its name from Eqlipse Technologies Financing Holdings, LLC to BlueHalo Financing TopCo, LLC, pursuant to the transactions contemplated under the plan of merger between Eqlipse Parent and BlueHalo Parent. Pursuant to the merger, BlueHalo Parent became the sole member of the Company. The Preferred Unites remained outstanding subsequent to the Eqlipse Transactions.

 

 

 

 

BlueHalo Financing TopCo, LLC

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

The Preferred Units have been classified as temporary equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets since the Preferred Units are redeemable at the option of the holder. As the sole member, BlueHalo Parent controls the board of the Company which can effectuate a distribution and thereby redeem the Preferred Units. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2025, 80,000 Preferred Units are presented as temporary equity, outside of the member’s equity section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Preferred Units include a yield at 8.1% per annum (calculated based on 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months). The yield is cumulative and compounded quarterly at the end of each fiscal quarter.

 

The Preferred Units rank higher in priority than the Common Units. If the Company declares a distribution, cash shall be distributed with priority to the Preferred Units until the aggregate unpaid preferred unit yield and the aggregate unreturned preferred unit capital with respect to each of BlueHalo Parent’s Preferred Units has been reduced to zero.

 

Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution event, the Preferred Unit holders shall be entitled to receive the remaining funds and other property of the Company in priority to the Common Units.

 

12.Member’s Equity

 

Common Units

 

The rights of the Company's common units holders to receive dividends, if declared, and the right to receive a distribution of assets upon liquidation are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers, and preferences of the holders of the Company's Preferred Units. Refer to Note 11. Preferred Units for additional information.

 

Prior to March 1, 2025, BlueHalo Equity Holdings, LLC (“BlueHalo Equity Holdings”), the sole member of BlueHalo Holdings, owned 100% of the 100 issued and outstanding membership units.

13.Unit-Based Compensation

 

2019 Management Incentive Plan (the Incentive Plan)

 

The Aegis Holdings Parent, LLC 2019 Management Incentive Plan (“the Incentive Plan”) was established to promote the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries whereby, the Company may issue membership units (“Incentive Units”) as equity compensation to employees, consultants or other service providers to the Company or any subsidiary (collectively, “Service Providers”) for services provided to, or for the benefit of, the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

 

 

 

BlueHalo Financing TopCo, LLC

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

The Board of Managers is authorized to negotiate and enter into award agreements with each Service Provider to whom it grants Incentive Units. Each Award Agreement includes such terms, conditions, rights and obligations as may be determined by the Board of Managers (including without limitation vesting criteria), in its sole discretion, consistent with the terms of the Plan.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2025, no Incentive Units were granted related to the Company under the Incentive Plan.

 

The Incentive Units are subject to time, performance and return-based vesting requirements, with all agreements having the following vesting requirements: “one-third (⅓) of the Incentive Units are designated time-vested, one-third (⅓) of the Incentive Units are designated performance-vested and one-third (⅓) of the Incentive Units are designated return-vested.”

 

Incentive Units are economically similar to a stock option award and vest based on time or performance-based milestones. Vesting of all Incentive Units is generally subject to continuing service over the vesting periods. For awards that are time-vested based on continued service, unit- based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. The vesting period is five years. For awards with performance vesting conditions, unit-based compensation cost is recognized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period when it is probable the performance condition will be achieved.

 

Unvested Incentive Units activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were as follows:

 

    Number of
Nonvested
Incentive
    Weighted
Average Grant
Date Fair
 
Outstanding at December 31, 2024     348,536       25.90  
Incentive Units granted            
Incentive Units vested     (8,582 )     41.92  
Incentive Units forfeited            
Outstanding at March 31, 2025     339,954       44.68  

 

In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, the Company recorded compensation expense associated with the Incentive Units during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 in an amount of $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The compensation expense has been pushed down and included within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and as an incentive unit award capital contribution within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Redeemable Preferred Units and Member’s Equity. As of March 31, 2025, there was $11.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested Incentive units, of which $3.9 million is related to time-vesting incentive units.

 

Restricted Common Unit Activity

 

During 2024, in connection with the acquisition of Eqlipse, the company replaced the unvested outstanding Incentive Units held by Eqlipse employees immediately prior to the acquisition with Blue Halo Restricted Common Units (“RCUs”) covering 28,210 common units having a total acquisition date fair value of $6.6 million. The replacement RCUs have substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable for the time-vesting units under the original Incentive Unit awards. Of the acquisition date fair value, $1.2 million was attributed to pre-combination service and treated as a component of purchase consideration transferred. The remaining $5.4 million is considered future compensation cost and will be recognized as stock based compensation cost over the remaining service period of the replacement RCUs. At March 31, 2025 the replacement RCUs had a remaining weighted-average term of 3.12 years.

RCU activity for the period is as follows:

 

   Number of
Nonvested
Units
 
Outstanding at December 31, 2024   11,889

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a compensation expense of $0.2 million and $0.9 million associated with the RCUs, respectively.

 

14.Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.8 million of benefit, compared to $7.6 million of benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily related to research and development tax credits and changes to valuation allowances recorded in the U.S. against deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily related to changes to valuation allowances recorded in the U.S. against deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized due to the acquisition of Eqlipse.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. We have analyzed our deferred tax assets and have determined, based on the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that a significant portion will not be realized.

 

15.Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated its March 31, 2025 condensed consolidated financial statements for subsequent events through May 9, 2025, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Other than as disclosed below, the Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
