Balance sheet strengthened through elimination of legacy debt and stock-based obligations
Strong TriFan 600 program execution and FAA certification progress position XTI Aerospace for upcoming pre-sales relaunch
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- XTI Aerospace, Inc. (NASDAQ:XTIA) ("XTI Aerospace" or the "Company"), a pioneer in xVTOL and powered-lift aircraft solutions, today announced the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025 and provided an update on recent corporate milestones and strategic initiatives.
"XTI Aerospace entered 2025 with strong momentum, advancing the development of the TriFan 600 while improving our financial position through disciplined capital management," said Scott Pomeroy, Chairman and CEO of XTI Aerospace. "We completed critical Q1 product and engineering milestones, including FAA acceptance of our Type Certification application, fuel system design enhancements, and expanded FAA engagement—all of which continue to position us as a leader in the emerging powered-lift category.
"We are entering a defining period in our company's journey," added Pomeroy. "In addition to the significant technical progress our team has achieved, I am particularly proud of our financial accomplishments this quarter. We more than doubled our Industrial IoT segment revenues year-over-year, improved our related gross margins, and significantly strengthened our balance sheet by eliminating legacy debt and stock-based obligations. With our development advancing and our financial position stabilized, XTI Aerospace is focused on executing our strategy to deliver long-term shareholder value and revolutionize regional air mobility."
First Quarter 2025 Business Highlights and Recent Developments
- FAA Type Certification Application Accepted: The FAA accepted XTI Aerospace's TriFan 600 Type Certification application on March 17, 2025.
- Fuel System Design Milestone Achieved: Enhanced wing fuel volume from approximately 300 to 400 gallons, improving maximum range and mission length.
- Expanded Corporate Advisory Board: Added aerospace, defense, and AI leaders with experience at companies such as Palantir Technologies, U.S. Space Force and Air Force, Wheels Up, Bombardier, and Global Medical Response.
- Authorized Share Repurchase Program: The board of directors authorized up to $5 million in share repurchases to address what management believes is a significant undervaluation of the Company's common stock.
First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights
- Cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $3.9 million to approximately $8 million.
- Net working capital increased by approximately $8.9 million.
- Repaid in full the outstanding secured promissory notes issued to a certain party, which resulted in the release of that party's security interest in the assets of XTI Aircraft Company. As of March 31, 2025, we had less than $0.1 million of interest-bearing debt outstanding.
- Redeemed the remaining outstanding shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock, leaving 0 shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2025. The Series 9 Preferred Stock had restricted the Company's ability to raise capital, as the Company was prohibited from taking certain actions without prior written consent from the holders of the Series 9 Preferred Stock.
- Repaid the remaining Strategic Transaction Bonus Plan obligation to prior Legacy Inpixon management, which was the primary driver for the approximate $5.1 million decline in accrued expenses and other current liabilities from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025.
- Repaid the accounts payable and most commitments that were inherited from Legacy Inpixon.
Strategic Outlook and 2025 Priorities
Building on a successful first quarter, XTI Aerospace remains focused on advancing the TriFan 600 through continued engineering, certification, and supplier selection milestones. Key Q2 2025 priorities include:
- Engine and drivetrain supplier selection.
- Launch of the Sparrow subscale flying model to validate certain aerodynamic and transition flight dynamics.
- FAA technical familiarization briefings and expanded certification engagement.
- Preparation for the reopening of TriFan 600 pre-sales later in 2025.
"Looking ahead, we believe the progress we've made in both engineering and corporate development has set the stage for an exciting second quarter," continued Pomeroy. "As we move closer to supplier selections, subscale flight demonstrations, and the reopening of TriFan 600 pre-sales later this year, we remain committed to delivering on our vision of transforming regional air mobility. We appreciate the continued support of our shareholders as we endeavor to build lasting value together."
