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

"The operational and financial results of the second quarter reflect an inflection point in the trajectory of the company," said Deanna White, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Surf Air Mobility. "With a strengthened balance sheet, significantly improved airline operations and strong momentum in our software business powered by Palantir, we have confidence in our ability to achieve our goals in 2025, in advance of entering our planned Expansion phase in 2026."

Significant achievements in the second quarter, compared with the first quarter, include:

• Scheduled Service revenue growth of over 20% and profitability in airline operations driven by improvement in controllable completion factor from 82% to 95%
• On Demand revenue growth greater than 5% with a seven-percentage point improvement in margins, driven by an increase in the number of charter flights and the positive impact of BrokerOS software on the business
• Raised $44.7 million in equity capital that strengthened the Company's balance sheet and enhanced the Company's ability to execute its strategy

Ms. White continued, "Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA outperformed our expectations, we achieved profitability for the quarter in our airline operations, and we have reaffirmed our 2025 guidance that revenues will exceed $100 million and that airline operations will achieve profitability for fiscal year 2025."⁽¹⁾

Second Quarter Financial Highlights⁽²⁾:

Revenue

• Revenue of $27.4 million for the second quarter of 2025 exceeded the Company's expectation of $23.5 million - $26.5 million
• As compared with the first quarter, revenue rose 17% with Scheduled Service revenue increasing 20% and On Demand revenue increasing 5%
• On a year-over-year basis, revenue decreased 15%, as expected, due to the Company exiting unprofitable scheduled routes and focusing on profitability in its On Demand business. Scheduled Service revenue decreased 12% and On Demand revenue decreased 26%, respectively

Net Loss

• For the second quarter of 2025, the Company generated a net loss of $28.0 million as compared with a net loss of $27.0 million in the prior year period. A $9.3 million reduction in operating loss was offset by an increase of $7.6 million in non-cash changes in the fair value of financial instruments and an increase of $1.9 million in interest expense reflecting the Company's higher debt balance.
• On a sequential basis, net loss increased 52%, driven by a $2.6 million reduction in operating loss offset by a $12.2 million increase in other expenses, mainly due to non-cash changes in the fair value of financial instruments

Adjusted EBITDA

• Adjusted EBITDA loss of $9.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 outperformed the Company's expectation of a $10.0 - $13.0 million loss
• As compared with the first quarter, Adjusted EBITDA improved by $4.8 million driven by profitability in the airline operations
• On a year-over-year basis, Adjusted EBITDA improved by $2.3 million driven by profitability in the airline operations
• 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 the second quarter, the Company continued to make significant progress against its Transformation Plan.

Phase 1 – Transformation

The first phase of the Transformation Plan was completed in 2024, and during the second quarter, the Company achieved an incremental milestone:

• Raised $44.7 million in equity capital through a combination of registered direct offerings, private sales of shares, and draws under its share subscription facility

Phase 2 – Optimization (2025-2026)

Milestones achieved during the second quarter on the Optimization phase of the Transformation Plan included:

Optimizing Airline Operations

• Improved key operating performance measures, including on-time departure, on-time arrival and controllable completion, by double-digit percentages as compared with the prior year
• Achieved profitability in its airline operations for the quarter⁽¹⁾
• Secured an interline agreement with Japan Airlines, its fifth interline agreement with a major international carrier and the first with a foreign carrier
• Renewed an Essential Air Service contract for Kalaupapa, Hawaii for $9.9 million in total contract value spanning four years
• Invested in interior and exterior fleet refurbishment

Recalibrating On Demand Business

• Renewed focus on profitable products generating a substantial improvement in margins, achieving positive margins in the On Demand business for the month of June
• Signed volume purchase agreements with two operators, each beta users of the SurfOS platform, to improve margins
• Expanded relationships to over 425 operators since inception

Driving Efficiencies from SurfOS

• Introduced three flagship products: BrokerOS, OperatorOS and OwnerOS

Recent Developments

After the second 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 Part 135 operators and charter brokers. The 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 teaming to bid on software development projects for Part 135 operators and brokers, aircraft manufacturers, and the FAA.

In July, $29.9 million of convertible notes were equitized deleveraging the Company's balance sheet. As a result of the capital raises and conversion previously described, the Company had 42,826,070 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, outstanding as of August 8, 2025.

In July, the Company renewed an Essential Air Service contract for Waimea, Hawaii for $4.2 million in total contract value spanning four years.

Financial Outlook

Third Quarter 2025 Guidance

• Third quarter revenue in the range of $27.0 million to $28.5 million. These expectations reflect the exiting of unprofitable scheduled routes and a continued focus on profitability for the On Demand business.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $10.0 million to $8.5 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 third quarter reflects consistent performance against key operating metrics in airline operations as well as investments in R&D.

Full Year 2025 Guidance

The Company continues to implement the Optimization phase of its Transformation Plan, which includes the optimization of its airline operations, the recalibration of its On Demand business, as well as efforts to drive efficiencies through the implementation of the SurfOS operating system.

As a result, the Company reaffirms its expectations that 2025 revenues will exceed $100 million and that airline operations will achieve 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.
