- Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:BAER) reported a bigger-than-expected loss with an EPS of -$0.36, lower than the estimated EPS of -$0.34.
- The company's revenue for Q4 2024 was approximately $15.6 million, significantly higher than the estimated $9.7 million, driven by the extended deployment of its aerial firefighting fleet.
Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:BAER) is a leading entity in the aerial firefighting industry within the United States, renowned for its utilization of Super Scoopers and surveillance aircraft to mitigate wildfires. The company's financial outcomes for Q4 2024, disclosed on March 13, 2025, revealed a financial performance that exceeded expectations.
BAER announced an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.36, underperforming the anticipated EPS of -$0.34. The revenue for the quarter stood at approximately $15.6 million, surpassing the projected $9.7 million. This increase in revenue was attributed to the prolonged deployment of firefighting aircraft, which remained active into November due to an early onset of the wildfire season.
The company also highlighted a notable enhancement in its financial health. BAER's net loss saw an 80% improvement, reducing to $15.6 million in 2024 compared to the year before. BAER generated $9.4 million in cash from operating activities and concluded the year with $39.3 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Despite a negative price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of -5.98, BAER's financial indicators suggest a potential undervaluation. The price-to-sales ratio of 0.96 implies that investors are paying less than one dollar for every dollar of sales. The enterprise value to sales ratio of 0.58 further supports the notion of undervaluation relative to sales. The enterprise value to operating cash flow ratio of 3.88 indicates a moderate valuation based on cash flow.
BAER maintains a conservative capital structure with a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.04, indicating minimal reliance on debt financing. The company's robust current ratio of 2.73 suggests good short-term financial health, with the ability to cover current liabilities with current assets. This financial stability positions BAER well to continue its operations and strategic initiatives in the aerial firefighting sector.
