NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Item 1 - Financial Statements
Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. (the “Company” or “GlobalX”), as its principal business activity, provides passenger and cargo aircraft to customers through aircraft operating service agreements, including, crew, maintenance and insurance (“ACMI”) and charter services (“Charter”) serving the United States, Europe, Canada, the Caribbean Islands, and Central and South America.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its subsidiaries, Global Crossing Airlines, Inc. and Global Crossing Airlines Operations, LLC (collectively “GlobalX USA”), Global Crossing Airlines Holdings, Inc, GlobalX Travel Technologies, Inc. (“Technologies”), GlobalX Air Tours, LLC (“GlobalX Tours”), MSN 3101 Acquisition LLC (“MSN 3101”) and Charter Air Solutions, LLC (“Top Flight”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requirements for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and consequently exclude certain disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2026, and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025, was derived from the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from such audited annual consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with such audited consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which includes additional disclosures and a summary of our significant accounting policies.
The Company’s quarterly results are subject to seasonal and other fluctuations and the operating results for any quarter are therefore not necessarily indicative of results that may be otherwise expected for the entire year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficit of $
2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The standard requires disclosure of certain prescribed costs and expenses within the notes to consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2024-03 becomes effective for the Company’s 2027 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The standard only impacts required disclosures and will not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2024-03 on its disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued – Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. This update provides all entities with a practical expedient in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. Under the practical expedient, an entity may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the financial

At the election of the Board of Directors, upon each vesting date, participants receive (a) the issuance of Common Stock from treasury equal to the number of RSUs vesting, (b) a cash payment equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, calculated as the closing price of the Common Stock on the OTCQB for the trading day immediately preceding such payment date, or (c) a combination of (a) and (b).
On the grant date of RSUs, the Company determines whether it has a present obligation to settle in cash. If the Company has a present obligation to settle in cash, then the RSUs are accounted for as liabilities, with the fair value remeasured at the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss for the period. The Company has a present obligation to settle in cash if the choice of settlement in shares has no commercial substance, or the Company has a past practice or a stated policy of settling in cash, or generally settles in cash whenever the counterpart asks for cash settlement.

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the normal course of business and records legal costs as incurred. Management believes these proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company.
10. INCOME PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (EPS), which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing Net Income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of Common Stock, Class A Non-Voting Common Stock, and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock, Class A Non-Voting Common Stock, and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock, Class A Non-Voting Common Stock, or Class B Non-Voting Common Stock. The number of incremental shares from the assumed issuance of shares relating to share based awards is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. The Company computes EPS using the aggregate weighted-average common shares outstanding on a common-equivalent basis as the only difference between classes of shares is related to voting rights and conversion features, but the classes otherwise share equally in dividends and residual net assets on a per share basis.
The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Business Overview
GlobalX operates a U.S. Part 121 domestic flag and supplemental airline using the Airbus A320 family of aircraft, operating both passenger and cargo aircraft. GlobalX’s business model is to (1) provide services on an ACMI using wet-lease contracts to airlines and non-airlines, and (2) on a Charter basis, to provide passenger aircraft charter services to customers by charging an “all-in” fee that includes fuel, insurance, landing fees, navigation fees and most other operational fees and costs. GlobalX operates within the United States, Europe, Canada, Central and South America.
Business Strategy
17
GlobalX intends to become the best-in-class U.S. narrow-body, ACMI charter airline, operating both passenger and cargo charter aircraft while recruiting and maintaining a dynamic team of customer-centric flight crews, ground and maintenance teams and management staff.
GlobalX operates its A320 family aircraft for airlines, tour operators, college and professional sports teams, incentive groups, resorts and casino groups and government agencies. It is our goal to deliver best in class on time performance and dispatch reliability, expand existing relationships and develop additional relationships with leading charter/tour operators to provide aircraft during their peak seasons; and provide ad-hoc and track charter programs for non-airline customers.
Business Developments
During the three month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company devoted efforts towards our stated goal of creating the largest narrow body charter operation in North America generating sustainable, long-term profits. To achieve this goal, GlobalX continues to invest in its three key assets– certifications, aircraft, and crew.
GlobalX achieved the following during the three month period ended March 31, 2026:
From a crew perspective, GlobalX has increased its pilot headcount from 146 to 155 and increased its cabin crew headcount from 169 to 187, to support the current fleet and increased flight volume.
The Cargo Charter Market
GlobalX added the A321F aircraft to its operating certificate during the first quarter of 2023. The Company believes that the A321F will eventually be a highly sought-after cargo aircraft as a replacement for the aging and retiring Boeing B757 freighter fleet. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had two cargo aircraft operating and two temporarily parked. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, GlobalX saw a 16.5% decrease in Block Hours operated compared to the same period in 2025. This decreased activity level demonstrates the cargo charter market continues to be a significant drag on earnings. This is primarily due to the low rates being offered by brokers and customers and the relatively low utilization rates on a per aircraft basis, relative to the rates offered. We expect this dynamic to continue, and consequently, we are exploring all options to mitigate future losses, including, but not limited to, leasing out engines, utilizing engines in our passenger fleet, parking aircraft, and/or returning one or more of our freighter aircraft to lessors.
The Passenger Charter Market
Unlike the cargo charter market, the passenger charter market continues to demonstrate strong demand and has served as the economic engine for GlobalX during the three months ended March 31, 2026. There are several macro factors, including the supply of aircraft, reduced direct competition, increased reliance on air charter by college sports teams and general increased customer demand, which are driving increased demand for our services. GlobalX anticipates the high level of demand will continue throughout 2026. To address this demand, the Company has prioritized the passenger charter market over the cargo charter market, devoted sales and operational resources to develop long-term relationships with key customers and looked to expand the markets served as opportunities arise.
GlobalX Aircraft Fleet
Critical to GlobalX’s business model is maintaining a fleet of modern and cost-effective aircraft. To achieve this objective, GlobalX has selected what it believes to be the best overall single-aisle aircraft family to operate. This approach differs from that of traditional airlines, which purchase a variety of aircraft, often from different manufacturers, to achieve their operational flight sectors, resulting in increased training, operating and maintenance costs. GlobalX conducted research to determine the best aircraft to fly in competition with other narrow-body charter airlines in the single-aisle seat market and after such research GlobalX selected the A320 aircraft family.
The following factors support GlobalX’s choice to operate the Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft versus the Boeing-737 family of aircraft:
Cost and Operating factors: the A320 family of aircraft has lower fuel burn, and better aircraft and cockpit crew pool availability.
Operational Capability: the A320 family of aircraft has a range advantage over the Boeing-737 family of aircraft, and can fly non-stop from Miami to most airports throughout North America, South America and the Caribbean, and between most major destinations in Europe. The A320 has excellent maintenance dispatch reliability and strong availability of spare parts and components, making the A320, in management’s estimation, the most popular aircraft among low-cost airlines.
18
Passenger comfort: wider seat width, larger cargo bin volume for carry-on baggage and larger cargo hold volume.
Aircraft Maintenance
GlobalX expects to continue to outsource heavy maintenance checks to FAA-approved service providers. The 6Y Checks and 12Y Checks will be paid primarily by using funds from the accrued maintenance reserves paid to lessors under operating leases.
Strategy to Address Competitive Response
We expect the existing charter operators based in the U.S. to respond to GlobalX’s entry into the market by lowering their pricing to customers. The expected competitive response typically includes lowered ACMI rates for key contracts. We believe GlobalX’s existing relationships with potential customers and the underserved demand in the U.S., coupled with our newer planes allowing for a more cost-efficient operation, will allow us to address and respond to competitive pressures and grow our business.
Experienced Management Team
Our management team has extensive operating and leadership experience in the airfreight, airline, and aircraft leasing, maintenance, and management industries at companies such as Virgin America, American Airlines, US Airways, Atlas Air, DHL, Eastern Airlines Express, Emirates, North American Airlines, Miami Air, Spirit Airlines, Continental Airlines, Pan Am, and Flair Airlines, as well as the United States Army, and Air Force. In addition, our management team has a diversity of experience from other industries at companies such as KBR, Teladoc, Halliburton, Lehman Brothers, and the Burger King Corporation.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025
Operating Revenue & Statistics
The analysis of GlobalX results for the three month period ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 requires an understanding of how the Company fundamentally evolved during that time period. 2025 was our fourth year of full operations and was a period where the Company was focused on securing additional customers, entering additional markets and flying to new locations, primarily in the domestic and Caribbean markets and within the European market. As a growing company, we were also focused on operating effectively and efficiently.
In 2025, GlobalX continued expanding existing governmental agency relationships, acquired new partners, secured long-term cargo contracts, expanded operations in the European ACMI market and continued its operations with existing airlines. Our key metrics are Block Hours flown and Block Hours flown per available aircraft, which are the measures by which the Company tracks commercial activity. While other airlines discuss available seat miles, revenue per available seat mile, and cost per available seat mile, these metrics are not germane to our business model as an ACMI and Charter operator. GlobalX charters the entire aircraft, does not take fuel risk, and does not take third-party risk; therefore, our results are evaluated on a Block Hour and Utilization basis.
The following table compares our Operating Fleet (average aircraft equivalents during the period) and total Block Hours operated:

Charter revenue for the period increased $3.7 million or 12.3%, from $30.5 million in 2025 to $34.2 million in 2026. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in the rate for Charter flying of 31.6% from $13,588 per Block Hour in 2025 to $17,881 per Block Hour in 2026 resulting in an $8.2 million increase in revenue. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in Charter Block Hours of 14.7% from 2,246 Block Hours in 2025 to 1,916 Block Hours in 2026, which resulted in a $4.5 million decrease in revenue. The primary driver for the per Block Hour increase was related to both high market demand and a shortage of supply as competitors reduced capacity. The decrease in Charter Block Hours was due to an intentional focus on an increased level of flying on an ACMI basis and the Company’s exit from the Cuba-based charter market.
ACMI revenue for the period increased by $5.3 million or 15.6% from $34.3 million in 2025 to $39.7 million in 2026. This increase was driven by an increase in Block Hours from 5,076 in 2025 to 6,079 in 2026, an increase of 19.7% or 1,002 Block Hours resulting in a $7.3 million increase in revenue. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the rate for ACMI flying of 4.5% from $6,740 per Block Hour in 2025 to $6,429 per Block Hour in 2026 resulting in a $1.9 million decrease in revenue. The primary driver for the Block Hour increase was related to both high market demand and a shortage of supply. The rate decrease is a result of longer term ACMI contracts with higher minimum hours resulting in a lower rate per hour.
Other revenue for the period increased by $0.9 million from $1.8 million in 2025 to $2.7 million in 2026. The increase is primarily driven by more fueling and other administrative services provided to our customers.

Salaries, wages, and benefits increased $2.0 million or 10.6%, from $18.8 million in 2025 to $20.8 million in 2026, primarily due to expanded headcount across the organization to support the growing fleet and operations, as well as scheduled compensation adjustments reflecting market conditions and performance across all levels of the company. Pilots increased from 146 to 155, or by 6.2%.
Aircraft fuel increased by $0.4 million or 5.5% from $7.4 million to $7.8 million. Approximately 50.0% or $0.2 million of this increase is attributable to the increase in the amount of Charter and Non-Revenue Block Hours and approximately 50.0% or $0.2 million is attributable to an increase in the price of base jet fuel.
Maintenance, materials, and repairs increased by $3.1 million or 80.6%, from $3.9 million to $7.0 million. $2.5 million of the increase or 80.6% was primarily due to the increase in rate per operated Block Hour which increased $308 per Block Hour or 57.3% from $538 per Block Hour to $846 per Block Hour. This is primarily due to outsourcing the Miami line maintenance contributing a $103 per Block Hour impact, and significant price inflation in both external labor and parts. In addition, the volume of Block Hours operated increased 1,061 or 14.8%, from 7,164 to 8,225 Block Hours, resulting in an additional $0.6 million of expense.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.4 million or 107.6%, from $2.2 million in 2025 to $4.7 million, primarily driven by aircraft deliveries secured on finance leases, the purchase of an A320 aircraft, and an increase in rotable parts owned.
Contracted ground and aviation services expenses increased by $0.9 million or 15.0%, from $6.3 million in 2025 to $7.2 million in 2026. This was primarily driven by an increased rate since contracted ground and aviation services are not associated with ACMI services.
Aircraft rent decreased $1.8 million or 11.6%, from $15.2 million in 2025 to $13.5 million in 2026, primarily driven by a $1.1 million decrease in the number of sub-service hours required. Adding to the savings was a decrease in base rent expenses of $1.3 million or 17.3% due to the decrease in the average number of aircraft on operating leases from 15.0 to 13.0 aircraft in the fleet. Offsetting the savings, was an increase in supplemental rent expenses of $0.6 million or 10.5% from $6.0 million in 2025 to $6.6 million in 2026 driven by a year-over-year increase in Block Hours.
Operating income improved $3.0 million, from $3.1 million in 2025 to $6.1 million in 2026. Operating income as a percentage of revenue improved by 3.3% from 4.7% in 2025 to 8.0% in 2026. This improvement was a result of GlobalX’s ability to grow its revenue faster than its cost structure as the airline works towards achieving scale and profitability. Three factors drove these results: rates, utilization and scale. The Company’s Charter rate for the period grew 31.6%, from $13,588 per Block Hour in 2025 to $17,881 per Block Hour in 2026. The Company’s average utilization per available aircraft grew 24.9% for the period, from 442 Block Hours in 2025 to 552 Block Hours in 2026. The Company’s increasing scale also contributed to this positive result, for example, there were savings on a per Block Hour basis in travel and insurance, which combined with the other factors to drive the improvement.

Interest expense increased $0.7 million from $2.6 million to $3.3 million driven by the increase of aircraft on finance lease from 3.7 to 6.7 equivalent aircraft, and the financed purchase of one aircraft.
Net Income
Net Income, for the period, due to events noted above, increased by $2.3 million, from a net income of $0.5 million in 2025 to a net income of $2.8 million in 2026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficit of $63.6 million and retained deficit of $70.9 million. The Company began flight operations in August 2021. Without ongoing income generation or additional financing, the Company will be unable to fund general and administrative expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. These material uncertainties raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $16.9 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and approximately $3.1 million in restricted cash, an increase and decrease of approximately $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, from December 31, 2025. The changes were primarily due to new aircraft deliveries, customer deposits, and cash flow from operations.
The Company has significant fixed and noncancelable lease commitments of aircraft, equipment and related maintenance checks. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had total of $26.7 million due in the next 12 months of future minimum lease payments under finance and operating leases. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had total of $98.5 million due after 12 months from the balance sheet date of future minimum lease payments under finance and operating leases, and approximately $39.9 million in notes payable included in the non-current liabilities presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company ended the period of January 1 to March 31, 2026 with fifteen passenger aircraft and four cargo aircraft and expects the fleet to increase to nineteen passenger aircraft and remain at four cargo aircraft by the end of 2026. To achieve the number of aircraft deliveries in 2026, the Company currently has three aircraft under lease with partial or total deposits paid.
In 2026 GlobalX expects to continue its business growth by (i) providing services on an ACMI basis using wet lease contracts to airlines and non-airlines, (ii) on a Charter basis providing passenger and cargo aircraft charter services to customers by charging an “all-in” fee that includes fuel, insurance, landing fees, navigation fees and most other operational fees and costs, (iii) extending GlobalX current operations within the United States, Europe, Canada, Central and South America and continuing recruiting and maintaining a dynamic team of customer-centric flight crews, ground teams and management staff, (iv) increasing GlobalX’s passenger aircraft fleet to nineteen and GlobalX’s cargo aircraft fleet to remain at four by the end of 2026, and (v) achieving an increase in total revenue.
The Company expects to improve profitability during the year 2026, mainly as a result of GlobalX’s strategy implemented starting in 2024 of developing and implementing growth in its revenue faster than its cost structure. There are a few factors the Company expects to drive the improved margins, including securing higher rates for both ACMI and Charter contracts and increasing the number of passenger aircraft from 15 to 19 along with improving seasonality on Cargo aircraft contracts.
The ability of GlobalX to execute its build-out and growth strategy and achieve operations will depend on the acquisition of substantial additional financing through debt financing, equity financing or other means. Failure to obtain such financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of such growth strategy or even impact the ability of GlobalX to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable to GlobalX. If additional financing is raised by GlobalX through the issuance of its securities, then shareholders may suffer significant dilution. If additional financing is not available, or if available, not available on satisfactory terms, then this could result in a material adverse effect or could require GlobalX to reduce, delay, scale back or eliminate portions of its actual or proposed operations or could prevent GlobalX from continuing as a going concern. GlobalX may also need to raise capital by incurring long-term or short-term indebtedness in order to fund its business objectives. This could result in increased interest expense and decreased net income. Investors are cautioned that there can be no assurance as to the terms of any such financing and whether any such
22
financing will be available. The level of GlobalX’s indebtedness could impair its ability to obtain additional financing to timely take advantage of future business opportunities that may arise.
The Company regularly assesses our anticipated working capital needs, debt and leverage levels, debt maturities, capital expenditure requirements and future investments or acquisitions in an effort to maximize shareholder returns, efficiently finance our ongoing operations and maintain flexibility for future strategic transactions. The Company also regularly evaluates our liquidity and capital structure in an effort to ensure financial risks, adequate liquidity access and lower cost of capital are efficiently managed. Management is actively assessing various options to procure additional funds, including exploring opportunities for additional equity or debt financing to the extent it determines such financing is necessary or appropriate.
The most significant liquidity events during the three months ended March 31, 2026, were as follows:
Operating activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities increased $8.9 million to $9.0 million, consisting primarily of $8.1 million in noncash adjustments for depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, operating lease right of use assets and debt issue costs, $2.8 million in net income, $1.7 million in interest on finance leases, $0.5 million of share-based payments, a decrease of $1.8 million in accounts receivable, an increase of $1.1 million in accounts payable, and a decrease of $0.3 million in assets held for sale. These were partially offset by an increase of $3.5 million in operating lease obligations, an increase of $3.4 million in accrued liabilities and other liabilities, and an increase of $0.7 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets. For 2025, net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $2.2 million to $0.1 million, consisting primarily of $6.3 million in noncash adjustments for depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, operating lease right of use assets and debt issue costs, $1.1 million in interest on finance leases, $0.5 million in net income, $0.5 million of share-based payments, and an increase of $0.2 million in accounts payable. These were partially offset by a decrease of $4.1 million in operating lease obligations, an increase of $2.2 million in accounts receivable, a decrease of $2.2 million in accrued liabilities and other liabilities, and an increase of $0.1 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Investing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in investing activities increased $3.2 million to $6.0 million, consisting of $3.7 million of Purchases of property and equipment and $2.3 million of increase of deposits, deferred costs and other assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities decreased $0.4 million to $2.9 million, consisting of $2.7 million of Purchases of property and equipment and $0.1 million of increase of deposits, deferred costs and other assets.
Financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in financing activities increased $2.5 million to $3.5 million of net cash used in financing activities, consisting of $2.7 million of Principal payments on finance leases and $0.9 million of Principal payments on note payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in financing activities increased $0.9 million to $1.1 million of net cash used in financing activities, consisting primarily of $1.1 million of Principal payments on finance leases.
