NEWS RELEASE

Global Crossing Airlines Announces $31.5M in Revenue for Q2

with Adjusted EBITDAR of $5.3M

Updates Revenue Forecast to $150M in 2023

August 9, 2023

MIAMI, FL (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Crossing Airlines Group, Inc. (JET: NEO; JET.B: NEO; JETMF: OTCQB) (the “Company” or “GlobalX”) today reported second quarter 2023 financial results. All figures are in United States dollars and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Total operating revenue for Q2 2023 was $31.5 million. This represents an increase of $14 million or 80.5% when compared to Q2 2022. In addition, GlobalX operated 3,585 revenue block hours in Q2 2023 representing an 70% increase over the number of block hours operated in Q2 2022. This also compares favorably to 3,134 block hours operated in Q1 2023, an increase of 14%.

Q2 2023 results on an Adjusted EBITDAR⁽¹⁾ basis were $5.3 million, an Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ basis of approximately ($1.5) million and Adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ of $(0.05). On a year over year basis the Company saw revenue increase by 80%, while costs only increased by 59%; driving substantial margin improvements as it ramps up to the scale required to generate sustainable and consistent profits.

The Company’s financial results were negatively impacted by a number of factors, including: (i) accelerated cockpit crew hiring and training to prepare for a busy 2023 summer schedule resulting in an increase of approximately $4.2 million in training expenses; (ii) continued delay in delivery of the Company’s second A321 freighter which resulted in lost ACMI revenue of approximately $2.4 million; and (iii) continued MRO delays in completing scheduled maintenance heavy checks on two of the Company’s A320s which resulted in 26% of the Company’s aircraft not being available for operations over the course of the quarter.

Ed Wegel, Chair and CEO of the Company stated “We made great progress in Q2 putting in place the people, systems and training for both the summer flying and to be prepared for the delivery of six additional aircraft in the second half of this year. This has allowed us to fly 2,538 block hours in July and keeps us on track to meet our block hour and revenue goals for the year. We have put systems and procedures in place to reduce the industry wide delays at MROs which will increase available aircraft time, and reduce freighter conversion time. Two of our next 4 freighters have already been converted to cargo, which will eliminate the delivery delays we experienced on our first two freighters.”

Q2 Highlights

Liquidity

GlobalX ended the quarter with $8.4M in cash and restricted cash which is up 53% from the amount of cash and restricted cash available at December 31, 2022.

2023 Update and Outlook

Q3 Update

Guidance items provided in this release are based on Company’s current estimates and are not a guarantee of future performance. The Company expects to operate over 6,000 block hours in Q3 and is increasing its revenue guidance for 2023 to $150 million, a 54% increase over 2022. Currently $112 million of this revenue, or approximately 75%, is contracted. The Company is currently bidding on average $2M worth of contracts a day and has a current pipeline of potential contracts for 2023 of approx. $50M.

To support this growth, the Company is looking to take delivery of three more passenger aircraft in 2023 (August, October and December), plus up to four more A321F aircraft. To date for all of 2023, the Company has contracted for 13,629 block hours and expect to contract an additional 7,000 hours subject to actual aircraft delivery dates. This compares to 10,615 block hours contracted in all of 2022.

These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial information presented in this press release that is calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and these non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management believes that they supplement or enhance management’s, analysts’ and investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s underlying financial performance and trends and facilitate comparisons among current, past and future periods.
