• First quarter 2026 revenue expected to be $2.7 million, impacted by memory inventory and supply chain delays
• Blaize maintains full year 2026 revenue guidance of $130.0 million
• New NeoTensr contract expected to generate up to $50.0 million in revenue

EL DORADO HILLS, Calif., April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Blaize Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BZAI, Nasdaq: BZAIW) (“Blaize,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), a leader in programmable, energy-efficient AI computing, announced today expected revenue for the first fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026, and a newly awarded contract with NeoTensr, a system integrator and software company, expected to generate $50.0 million in revenue, following last week’s previously announced launch of Blaize AI Services.

Preliminary First Quarter Revenue

Expected revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was approximately $2.7 million. Results were primarily impacted by temporary supply chain constraints that affected shipment timing, despite solid underlying customer demand.

“The global memory shortage reduced server purchase availability from our primary supplier in the first quarter of 2026, which prevented us from fulfilling customer demand,” said Harminder Sehmi, CFO of Blaize. “We have secured the inventory needed to deliver $10.0 – $12.0 million to our customer in late April and May, and we remain on track with our full year 2026 revenue guidance.”

Business Updates

Blaize also announced today that it has entered into a new contract with NeoTensr for up to $50.0 million in revenue within the first year of the agreement, with fulfillment expected to begin in the second quarter. This is in addition to over $20.0 million in revenue that Blaize recognized from a NeoTensr order in the fourth quarter of 2025.

“Our agreement covers hybrid systems across edge and enterprise data center environments,” said Dinakar Munagala, Co-Founder and CEO of Blaize. “NeoTensr is building a multi-phased data center infrastructure across Asia Pacific, validating our Hybrid AI architecture, scaling into multi-city edge inference deployments, and incorporating the full Blaize AI Services stack. We expect each stage to drive progressively higher-margin revenue.”

“We chose Blaize because their Hybrid AI platform gives us the foundation to build and monetize AI infrastructure at scale across the Asia Pacific region,” said Liang Wang, CEO of NeoTensr. “From edge inference to full AI Services deployment, this partnership positions NeoTensr to capture a significant share of the growing demand for efficient, production-ready AI across our markets, and we are just getting started.”

Last week at GITEX Asia, Blaize announced the launch of Blaize AI Services to transform AI infrastructure into production-ready APIs. The new platform is designed to help cloud providers, data center operators, system integrators, and enterprises deploy application-level AI services faster, reduce cost per query, and create recurring AI service revenue.

“We continue to meet the demand for sector innovation, as evidenced by the significant interest from cloud service providers and data center operators with our recent launch of Blaize AI Services,” said Dinakar Munagala, Co-Founder and CEO of Blaize. “Blaize AI Services is differentiated by the delivery of quicker and highly efficient deployment of application-level AI services, which we believe represents repeat monetization.”
