The primary engine behind the quarter was B2 Cloud Storage, which surged 28% year-over-year to $20.70 million, fueling gross margin expansion of roughly 700 basis points to 62% on a GAAP basis as the platform's cost leverage became increasingly visible at scale. Adjusted EBITDA reached $8.39 million, a 23% margin that arrived a full quarter ahead of the company's own 20%-plus target. The company has also noted that AI-related workflows now account for nearly a quarter of its network traffic, reinforcing B2's positioning as a vendor-lock-in-free alternative to hyperscale providers. Looking ahead, Backblaze guided Q4 revenue to $37.30 million to $37.90 million with Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20% to 22%, while targeting free-cash-flow break-even by year-end.
Key Takeaways
- • B2 Cloud Storage grew 28% YoY, driven by AI and data-intensive workflow adoption
- • Gross margin expanded ~700 bps YoY to 62% due to operating leverage
- • Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 23%, up from 12% in Q3 2024
- • Non-GAAP net income more than doubled quarter-over-quarter to $1.9 million
- • Stock-based compensation declined to $5.4 million from $8.4 million YoY, reducing operating expense pressure
