Please visit the Surf Air Mobility investor relations website at investors.surfair.com for more information and to listen to the accompanying earnings call.

CEO Transition:

Surf Air Mobility Inc. today announced that Southern Airways founder and current Surf Air CEO Stan Little will transition to a “Founder’s” role. Former CFO and current Senior Advisor Deanna White will become Chief Operating Officer and interim CEO.

Deanna is a seasoned industry leader with a track record of success in the C-Suite of multiple innovative companies across the air mobility sector. Previously, Deanna was CEO of Bombardier Flexjet, a global leader in private aviation, which was ultimately sold to Directional Aviation Capital. Following that, she was COO of Kitty Hawk, an EVTOL startup, which was sold during her tenure to Boeing and has subsequently been rebranded as Wisk Aero.

Stan Little will remain an active participant in the company’s long-term strategy. “It was one of the high points of my career to build Southern Airways from the ground up with such a dedicated team, and I look forward to continuing to help Surf Air Mobility transform itself into the premier “green” commuter airline in the world,” said Little on Tuesday as he joined Purdue University officials in launching the first commuter service in a generation from the University to Chicago O’Hare.

“We are thrilled that Deanna has agreed to assume the role of Chief Operating Officer and interim CEO as the company turns its focus to profitability and efficiency across its flight operations,” said Carl Albert, Surf Air Mobility’s Chairman of the Board. “I would like to recognize Stan as the founder of Southern Airways for building that company from birth into the largest commuter airline by departure and largest operator of Cessna Caravans and we are pleased to continue to benefit from his experience as a Special Advisor to the company.”

First Quarter Financial Highlights:

Surf Air Mobility is providing unaudited results for the period ended March 31, 2024, on a quarterly basis, as well as unaudited pro forma results for the period ended March 31, 2023, which assumes the Southern acquisition closed as of the beginning of fiscal year 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, Surf Air Mobility had $1.3 million in cash on hand, with the ability to draw $90 million in committed draws and up to $296 million in follow-on draws subject to the terms of the GEM share subscription facility.

Developments on Key Initiatives:

“Once again, Surf Air Mobility achieved many of our goals in the first quarter, while also meeting or beating guidance. We worked with Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle to help reform and expand the Essential Air Service program in a way that benefits passengers, commuter air carriers, and taxpayers, while continuing our drive toward electrification, which benefits everyone,” said Stan Little, founder of Southern Airways.

Strategic Update:

To underpin the company’s ongoing efforts to balance growth with profitability, Surf Air Mobility is undertaking a strategic review that will ultimately result in cost reduction and other expense control measures aimed at returning airline operations to profitability.

Surf Air Mobility is also actively pursuing other strategic initiatives with partners and affiliates, including the creation of one or more joint ventures, to separately capitalize the company’s electrification and software efforts and maximize shareholder value creation from these substantial investments.

The company intends to provide a more comprehensive strategic update on these, and other, initiatives at its investor day that will now, in light of the CEO transition, be held in the third quarter of 2024.

Capital Structure Update:

Surf Air Mobility has retained a leading investment bank to more fully represent the company in its efforts to secure additional, non-dilutive or less-dilutive capital in the form of a credit facility.

“Management is continuously searching for ways to optimize our capital structure and reduce dilution to our shareholders,” said Oliver Reeves, CFO of Surf Air Mobility. “Our agreement with our banking partner formalizes these efforts and we look forward to updating the market of any success in due course.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Outlook:

Surf Air Mobility will provide full-year 2024 guidance at its Investor Day to be held in the third quarter of 2024.

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. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of Surf Air Mobility’s performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of Surf Air Mobility’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.

Surf Air Mobility presents Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA because it considers this measure to be an important supplemental measure of its performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of Surf Air Mobility’s performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing its ongoing results of operations.
