Please visit the Surf Air Mobility investor relations website at investors.surfair.com for more information and to listen to the accompanying earnings call at 5:00 pm eastern time.

“We are pleased to have beat our revenue guidance and achieved our Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year. Additionally, we’ve achieved two significant milestones: our direct listing on the NYSE and the completion of our merger with Southern Airways. We have also advanced our growth pillars of expanding our leading regional airline network and developing a proprietary powertrain technology to electrify smaller aircraft,” said Stan Little, Surf Air Mobility’s Chief Executive Officer.

FOURTH QUARTER BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

  • Deepened our partnership with Palantir to develop software that will enhance operational efficiencies, improve our customer experience, provide back-office intelligence, and unify our sales and financial data. Palantir has also made progress developing our new AI-enhanced ‘crew scheduling’ application.
  • Advanced our initiative to electrify the Cessna Caravan along with our lead partner AeroTEC. We are in the final stages of vendor selection for key components including battery and electric motor suppliers. We continue to work with the Caravan’s avionics manufacturer, Garmin, to integrate our powertrain with the aircraft’s displays.
  • Entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Brazil’s largest airline, Azul, on the commercial deployment of electric Cessna Caravan within Azul’s existing fleet.
  • Partnered with REGENT, a manufacturer of all-electric seagliders, to establish a base for seaglider operations in Miami that will provide passenger transport service for South Florida, including routes from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and the Caribbean Islands, in addition to previously announced service in Hawaii.
  • Appointed Oliver Reeves as Surf Air Mobility’s Chief Financial Officer, leveraging his nearly two decades of experience in investment management, enterprise technology, and insurance.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS

  • Signed MOUs with numerous operators of Caravan fleets in Africa, to convert their turbine powered aircraft to electric powertrains with our proprietary electrification technology, once certified. The carriers include: Safarilink, Yellow Wings, Auric Air and Z. Boskovic. This represents 13% of the total Caravan fleet operating in Africa under MOUs, to date.
  • Entered into agreements to add new service routes connecting Purdue University to Chicago, and with the city of Williamsport, Pennsylvania to Washington, D.C. These two new routes will be subsidized by local and private entities.
  • Signed an MOU with Electra.aero, Inc. to secure delivery positions for 90 eSTOL Aircraft, collaborate on incorporating Surf Air Mobility technology into joint systems, and establish a preferred leasing relationship.
  • Strengthened our technology capabilities with the addition of an outside team with deep experience across consumer, transportation and logistics, marketplace, and ticketing industries, to lead the software development for Surf Air Mobility’s consumer technology and air operations, as well as build certain tools for third party operators as part of our Aircraft-as-a-Service offering, in partnership with Palantir.

As such, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Footnotes:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Surf Air Mobility uses Adjusted EBITDA to identify and target operational results which is beneficial to management and investors in evaluating operational effectiveness. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of Surf Air Mobility’s performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of Surf Air Mobility’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Surf Air Mobility’s calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures, if any, reported by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Surf Air Mobility presents Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA because it considers this measure to be an important supplemental measure of its performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of Surf Air Mobility’s performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing its ongoing results of operations.
