Blaize Holdings, Inc. Segments Disclosure
Note 14. Segment Reporting
The Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment. “Operating segments” are defined as components of the Company that engage in business activities with distinct financial information that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is its chief executive officer, who regularly reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purpose of making decisions and assessing financial performance, as the Company’s products and services have similar economic characteristics.
The financial information received by the CODM focuses primarily on total available cash and cash equivalents, total revenue, significant expenses, net loss, and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and EBITDA as further adjusted for certain non-cash items and other adjustments that the CODM does not consider in their evaluation of ongoing operating performance from period to period (“Adjusted EBITDA”), to make decisions regarding the Company’s strategy, including the allocation of resources, as well as the Company’s assessment of operating performance.
As the Company operates as a single operating segment, the measures of total available cash and cash equivalents, total revenue and net loss, as reviewed by the CODM, are set forth on the consolidated financial statements, as well as in certain notes to the consolidated financial statements. See Note 5 — “Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments” for details regarding the Company’s cash equivalents. See Note 4 — “Revenue and Accounts Receivable” for details regarding the Company’s total revenue disaggregated by customer geographical location and the major customer concentrations of the Company’s total revenue and accounts receivable balances.
Similarly, as the Company operates in a single segment, the consolidated statements of operations provide one view of the Company’s significant expenses. Additional to the consolidated statements of operations, the CODM regularly reviews the significant expense categories in the calculation of net loss, set forth as follows:

The following table sets forth the Company’s reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

Other adjustments (1) | 3,091 | 567 | ||||||||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | (50,478) | $ | (42,696) | ||||||||||
(1) “Other adjustments” includes, but is not limited to, other non-cash expenses, including foreign exchange gains and losses, and income and expenses that are not expected to be ongoing, including litigation expenses, financing advisory fees, and fines and penalties (or the recoveries and reversals of such). The Company believes that these items are not reflective of its ongoing operating performance and excluding these items provides a more meaningful comparison of its results of operations over comparative periods.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as the Company operates as a single operating segment and the CODM reviews the assets on a consolidated basis. As such, no asset reconciliation adjustments are required. See Note 8 — “Leases and Geographic Location of ROU Assets” and Note 9 — “Property and Equipment Details and Geographic Location” for details regarding the geographic location of the Company’s long-lived assets.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
