AI Insight: BLZE Financial Trends

Backblaze's losses are narrowing sharply — net loss improved from -$14M in Q4 2024 to -$5M in Q4 2025 — but profitability remains elusive.

Revenue grew steadily from $31M in Q2 2024 to $39M in Q1 2026, a 26% increase over seven quarters.

Net loss narrowed from -$14M in Q4 2024 to -$5M in Q1 2026, signaling meaningful progress toward breakeven.

Operating cash flow improved from $2M in Q2 2024 to $9M in Q4 2025, though it dipped back to $3M in Q1 2026.

Equity strengthened from $43M in Q3 2024 to $85M in Q1 2026, partly reflecting capital raises.

Operating cash flow fell sharply to $3M in Q1 2026 from $9M in Q4 2025 — monitor for seasonal pattern or deterioration.

Net loss ticked up to -$6M in Q1 2026 from -$5M in Q4 2025, interrupting the improvement trend.

Total debt data is absent across all periods — debt load and leverage remain unassessable.

AI Insight: BLZE Ratio Trends

Backblaze's operating losses narrowed dramatically through Q3 2025 but have since slightly re-widened, signaling a profitability path that remains fragile.

Operating margin improved sharply from -40.8% in Q4 2024 to -8.9% in Q3 2025, the best quarterly result in the dataset.

Operating margin re-widened to -13.8% in Q1 2026 from the Q3 2025 trough, suggesting the improvement stalled.

ROIC improved from -87.0% in Q2 2024 to -25.3% in Q1 2026, reflecting sustained but still deeply negative capital returns.

Operating margin deteriorated two consecutive quarters (Q3 2025 to Q1 2026), risking reversal of the 2024–2025 improvement trend.

D/E data is absent across all periods, limiting leverage visibility — a key gap given persistent negative ROE and ROIC.
