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:

Phase 2 – Optimization (2025-2026)

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

Optimizing Airline Operations

Recalibrating On Demand Business

Driving Efficiencies from SurfOS

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.

Readers of this press release should be aware of the speculative nature of forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the beliefs of Surf Air Mobility’s management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to Surf Air Mobility and reflect Surf Air Mobility’s current views concerning future events. As such, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, outcomes or events, or the timing of such results, outcomes or events, to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among many others: Surf Air Mobility’s future ability to pay contractual obligations and liquidity will depend on operating performance, cash flow and ability to secure adequate financing; Surf Air Mobility’s ability to meet the requirements of its term loan credit facility or other debt obligations; Surf Air Mobility’s limited operating history; the powertrain technology Surf Air Mobility plans to develop does not yet exist and remains subject to approval by regulators; the impact of changes in the U.S. or foreign trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and other protectionist trade measures, and other factors beyond Surf Air Mobility’s control; Surf Air Mobility’s ability to maintain and strengthen its brand and its reputation as a regional airline; any accidents or incidents involving aircraft, including those involving hybrid-electric or fully-electric aircraft; the inability to accurately forecast demand for products and manage product inventory in an effective and efficient manner; the dependence on third-party partners and suppliers for the components and collaboration in Surf Air Mobility’s development of software technology platforms; hybrid-electric and fully-electric powertrains and other products and services, and any interruptions, disagreements or delays with those partners and suppliers; the inability to execute business objectives and growth strategies successfully or sustain Surf Air Mobility’s growth; risks from the integration of business acquisitions that could adversely affect Surf Air Mobility’s business, divert the attention of management, and dilute shareholder value; increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and the requirement that management devote substantial time to comply with Surf Air Mobility’s public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices; the inability of Surf Air Mobility’s customers and potential customers to pay for Surf Air Mobility’s services; the inability of Surf Air Mobility to obtain additional financing or access the capital markets to fund its ongoing operations on acceptable terms and conditions; the outcome of any legal proceedings that might be instituted against Surf Air, Southern or Surf Air Mobility, the risks associated with Surf Air Mobility’s obligations to comply with applicable laws, government regulations and rules and standards of the New York Stock Exchange as well as with changes in applicable laws or regulations, and the impact of the regulatory environment; and general economic conditions. These and other risks are discussed in detail in the periodic reports that Surf Air Mobility files with the SEC, and investors are urged to review those periodic reports and Surf Air Mobility’s other filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, before making an investment decision. Surf Air Mobility assumes no obligation to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law.

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.
