Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE:SRFM) ("the Company", "Surf Air Mobility"), a leading regional air mobility platform, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Deanna White, Chief Executive Officer of Surf Air Mobility, said: "The financial and operating results of the third quarter demonstrate the effective implementation of our Transformation Plan strategies. The strong execution and stability in our airline operations drove a second consecutive quarter of profitability. In addition, the recent $100 million strategic transaction will fund the further development and commercialization of SurfOS and strengthen our financial position."

Third Quarter Financial Highlights²:

Revenue

• Revenue of $29.2 million for the third quarter of 2025 exceeded the Company's expectation of $27 million - $28.5 million
• As compared with the second quarter, revenue increased 6% driven by a 42% increase in On Demand revenue, partially offset by a 4% decrease in Scheduled Service revenue
• On a year-over-year basis, revenue increased 3% driven by a 40% increase in On Demand revenue, partially offset by a 7% decrease in Scheduled Service revenue
• The drivers of both sequential and year-over-year increases in revenue were primarily related to:
  • A shift in mix to larger aircraft and international flights, resulted in an increase in revenue per departure in our On Demand business, and
  • Exiting unprofitable routes, offset by improved operational metrics in our Scheduled Service operation

Net Loss

• For the third quarter of 2025, the Company generated a net loss of $27.2 million
• As compared with second quarter, net loss decreased 3%
• On a year-over-year basis, the net loss increased $15 million, driven primarily by a $7.6 million increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, an increase of $6.2 million in non-cash changes in the fair value of financial instruments, and an increase of $1.2 million in interest expense reflecting the Company's higher debt balance

Adjusted EBITDA

• Adjusted EBITDA loss of $9.9 million for the third quarter of 2025 met the Company's expectation of a $10 - $8.5 million loss
• Year to date, Adjusted EBITDA loss continues to benefit from:
  • Improvements to operational metrics, the exiting of unprofitable routes, and
  • Significant reduction in sales and administrative expenses in our On Demand business since adopting SurfOS
• Adjusted EBITDA loss excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, changes in fair value of financial instruments, and other non-recurring items
• See the Adjusted EBITDA table for the reconciliation from Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA

Key Developments and Progress Against the Transformation Plan

During and subsequent to the third quarter, the Company continued to make significant progress against its Transformation Plan.

Phase 1 – Transformation

Milestone achieved on the Transformation phase of the Transformation Plan included:

• Closed a $100 million strategic transaction to fund SurfOS and strengthen the Company's balance sheet

Phase 2 – Optimization (2025-2026)

Milestones achieved on the Optimization phase of the Transformation Plan included:

Optimizing Airline Operations

• Achieved second consecutive quarter of profitability in the Company's airline operations, defined as positive Adjusted EBITDA
• Continued improvement in key operating measures, including on-time departure, on-time arrival, and controllable completion, demonstrating the permanency of transformation strategies

Recalibrating On Demand Business

• Third quarter revenue increased approximately 40% compared to both the second quarter and the same quarter in the prior year driven by:
  • An increase in average revenue per departure of 14%
  • A shift in mix from turboprop to larger aircraft, and
  • A shift in mix from domestic to international flights
• The results reflect our strategies to expand our client base from turboprop to jet aircraft and pursue international markets
• On Demand margins for the third quarter, while slightly lower than the second quarter, represented significant improvement from the same quarter of the prior year, benefiting from the successful execution of two volume purchase agreements with operators who are also beta users of SurfOS

Driving Efficiencies from SurfOS

• Addition of beta and LOI SurfOS agreements, totaling 15 agreements
• BrokerOS developments:
  • Developed robust CRM functionality that allows for streamlined customer insights and sales efficiencies, to include:
    • A broker dashboard providing key metrics to manage flights and sales
    • An activity feed consolidating all account interactions in a single timeline view
    • Multimodal direct-to-operator communication via e-mail and SMS
    • Account properties to track profiles and behaviors for better consumer insights and pipeline management
• OperatorOS developments:
  • Expanded parallel testing of the Palantir-powered crew and scheduling tool across our Hawaii network, on track to have the entire network utilizing this tool by year end
  • Launched additional features within the mobile Crew App, including:
    • Aircraft airworthiness alert to allow direct communication between pilots and the Systems Operations Center to improve safety
    • Digitized engine trend monitoring reports to improve maintenance predictability
    • Pilot calendar overview for crew to have a comprehensive overlook of upcoming schedule and events, including proactive reminder notifications

Recent Developments

In November, the Company closed a transformative $100 million strategic transaction. The transaction accelerates the development and commercialization of Surf Air Mobility's proprietary SurfOS software, strengthens the Company's balance sheet, and positions the Company for long-term profitable growth.

The transaction secured $26 million in funding from new equity issuances specifically for the development and commercialization of SurfOS, and will have the following potential benefits:

• Continue development of three SurfOS flagship products: BrokerOS, OperatorOS, and OwnerOS
• Scale engineering and sales capabilities in advance of commercial rollout in 2026
• Support go-to-market execution, customer adoption, and partnership development
• Develop customized enterprise services and solutions
• Invest in the development of new SurfOS modules and products to capture a larger share of the growing air mobility software market

Concurrently with the $26 million equity raise, Surf Air Mobility completed the sale of a $74 million senior secured convertible note to High Trail Capital. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds to repay $51 million outstanding under the Company's 4-year credit agreement with affiliates of Comvest Partners, and $8 million outstanding under the Company's secured convertible note with Partners For Growth V, L.P. ("PFG"). In aggregate, these repayments represent a reduction in cash interest expense of approximately $5.5 million on an annualized basis.

In the third quarter, $35 million of convertible notes were equitized deleveraging the Company's balance sheet. Additionally, the Company reduced $8.2 million of the GEM mandatory convertible security. As a result of the capital raises and conversion previously described, the Company had 52,266,051 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, outstanding as of November 7, 2025.

In the third quarter, the Company and Palantir entered into a five year software licensing agreement naming the Company as Palantir's exclusive partner with respect to the configuration and sale of software to the Part 135 industry. The Palantir agreement grants the Company the ability to sub-license certain of its rights to third-party clients. Additionally, the agreement contemplates the Company and Palantir will team to bid on software development projects for enterprise clients, aircraft manufacturers, and the FAA.

Financial Outlook

Fourth Quarter 2025 Guidance

• Fourth quarter revenue in the range of $25.5 million to $27.5 million. These expectations reflect the exiting of unprofitable scheduled routes and a continued focus on larger cabin and international products for the On Demand business.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $8 million to $6.5 million, which excludes the expected impact of stock-based compensation, changes in fair value of financial instruments, and other non-recurring items. The Adjusted EBITDA loss range for the fourth quarter reflects consistent performance against key operating metrics in airline operations as well as investments in R&D.

Full Year 2025 Guidance

The Company has raised its full year revenue guidance to at least $105 million and continues to expect that airline operations will achieve full year profitability in 2025, defined as positive Adjusted EBITDA.

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. 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.

We have not provided a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, forward-looking GAAP net loss, because forecasting the timing or amount of items that have not yet occurred and are out of our control is inherently uncertain and unavailable without unreasonable efforts. Further, we believe that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors.
