NEWS RELEASE

Global Crossing Airlines Announces $97.1M in Revenue for 2022

Q4 Adjusted EBITDAR of $5.2M

Forecasts over $140M in Revenue for 2023

March 9, 2023

MIAMI, FL (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)Global Crossing Airlines Group, Inc. (JET: NEO; JET.B: NEO; JETMF: OTCQB) (the “Company” or “GlobalX”) today reported fourth quarter and 2022 annual financial results. All financial figures are in United States dollars.

Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total operating revenues for the 2022 year and Q4 2022 were $97.1 million and $32.5 million, respectively. This represents an increase of $82.8 million or 742% and $21.3 million or 191% when compared to the 2021 year and Q4 2021, respectively. This increase was driven by our continued growth in operations, including number of available aircraft during the year from three in 2021 to seven in 2022. In addition, GlobalX operated 2,463 revenue block hours in Q4 2022, representing an 89% increase over the number of block hours operated in Q4 2021.

Ed Wegel, Chair and CEO of GlobalX commented: “We are pleased to report strong financial and operational results for 2022. We reached $97.1M in revenue, beating previous guidance of $90 million by 8%. GlobalX finished 2022 with eight A320 family passenger aircraft, which resulted in Full Year 2022 Adjusted EBITDAR (Non-GAAP)(1) of $9.0 million and a 2022 Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)(1) of ($6.6 million). Q4 2022 results were an Adjusted EBITDAR of $5.3 million, an Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $845,000 and Adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP)(1) of $(0.00). Those results reflect our continued efforts to expand charter operations throughout North and South America, as well as the Caribbean by adding 79 new customers during 2022.”

Mr. Wegel continued: “We continued to invest heavily during Q4 in our systems, training, and development of our people, as we added over 55 pilots, 86 flight attendants, built our cargo operating systems and continued work on important certifications. We incurred cargo related expenses in anticipation of A321 freighter (A321F) deliveries and revenue operations in Q4, which did not ultimately occur. As a result, we expect compensation to be paid because of the late deliveries which we will receive in 2023.”

2023 Update

Mr. Wegel added: “We remain bullish on 2023 with our cargo certification completed and our first A321F started revenue operations in February. We will take delivery of the second A321F and will be operating revenue flights in early Q2. We are providing guidance of expected full year revenue in 2023 of at least $140 Million from our base plan of nine passenger and two freighter aircraft. In addition to this fleet of 9/2, our target plan for 2023 is to add up to four A321F’s, and three A320 passenger aircraft. We have developed a strong reputation as a reliable operator and we will continue to add new customers and build on existing customers.”

Cost Performance

Total operating expense for 2022 year and Q4 2022 increased 244% and 115% compared to 2021 year and the Q4 2021, to $33.2 and $15.4 million, respectively. These increases were primarily driven by additional aircraft and number of block hours operated, as well as investments made to initiate our cargo operations in Q1 2023.


Liquidity

GlobalX ended the quarter with $11.7 million in current assets, an increase of $2 million compared to year end 2021 and $300,000 compared to Q3 2022. The increase is mainly due to the Company’s acquisition of an airframe for tear down that resulted in approximately $1.4 million in parts available for sale as of December 31, 2022 (“Spares Deal”).

Current liabilities increased from $14.7 million in 2021 to 27.8 million in 2022, mainly due to an increase of $6.2 million in leased aircraft liabilities as we grew our fleet from one aircraft in August 2021 to eight aircraft by December 2022, $1.6 million in aircraft fuel liabilities, $1.6 million of passenger taxes liabilities, $1.0 million of ground handling liabilities primarily due to the addition of four leased aircraft added during 2022, and $1.4 million from the Spares Deal.

GlobalX is seeking additional capital in the form of debt, convertible debt or equity in order to further invest in the business and facilitate the continued growth of the fleet, including the acquisition of additional leased aircraft, as well as for additional working capital.

Outlook

Guidance items provided in this release are based on the Company’s current estimates and are not a guarantee of future performance. GlobalX is providing revenue guidance of at least $140 million in revenue for 2023 based on a fleet of nine passenger and two cargo aircraft, a 44% increase over 2023. Currently $81.5M of this revenue is contracted and an additional $60M is currently being actively quoted and we anticipate that most of this will become contracted. We will provide updated guidance as we take delivery of additional aircraft to the current projected fleet of nine passenger and two cargo aircraft.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company evaluates its financial performance utilizing various accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted operating expenses, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted pre-tax income (loss), Adjusted pre-tax margin, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial information presented in this press release that is calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and these non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management believes that they supplement or enhance management’s, analysts’ and investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s underlying financial performance and trends and facilitate comparisons among current, past and future periods.

Because the non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered superior to and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP financial measures presented in the press release and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to possible differences in the method of calculation and in the items being adjusted. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

The information below provides an explanation of certain adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP financial measures and shows a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures reported in this press release (other than forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures) to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Within the financial tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Per unit amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains certain “forward looking statements” and “forward-looking information”, as defined under applicable United States and Canadian securities laws, concerning anticipated developments and events that may occur in the future. Forward-looking statements contained in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the Company’s aircraft fleet size, the destinations that the Company intends to service, the expected delivery timelines for aircraft, future demand, increased block hours, future capacity estimates, future revenue guidance and revenues under contract and subject to quote.

In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved” suggesting future outcomes, or other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, intentions or statements about future events or performance. Forward-looking statements contained in this news release is based on certain factors and assumptions regarding, among other things, the receipt of financing to continue airline operations, the accuracy, reliability and success of GlobalX’s business model; GlobalX’s ability to accurately forecast demand; GlobalX will be able to successfully conclude definitive agreements for transactions subject to LOI or quotation; the timely receipt of governmental approvals; the success of airline operations of GlobalX; GlobalX’s ability to successfully enter new geographic markets; the legislative and regulatory environments of the jurisdictions where GlobalX will carry on business or have operations; the Company has or will have sufficient aircraft to provide the service; the impact of competition and the competitive response to GlobalX’s business strategy; the future price of fuel, and the availability of aircraft. While the Company considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
