Q3 2024 Financial Highlights (vs. Q3 2023)

• Revenue: Revenue increased 23% to $52.4 million compared to $42.6 million. The increase was driven primarily by higher block hours flown and aircraft fleet expansion, as well as increased revenue per block hour flown for both passenger ACMI and charter.

• Total Operating Expenses: Operating expenses were $54.9 million compared to $44.9 million. The increase was primarily due to higher aircraft rent, maintenance, and personnel costs associated with the expansion of the GlobalX fleet, as well as higher travel costs related to the expansion of a government contract.

• Net Income (Loss)/EPS: Net loss was flat at $4.9 million. Loss per share remained unchanged compared to the prior year at $(0.08) per basic and diluted share. The Company estimates net loss was impacted by approximately $5 million from the aforementioned maintenance events in September.

• EBITDAR¹: EBITDAR increased approximately 2x to $15.4 million compared to $7.6 million. This was primarily driven by increased revenue, improved operating margins, and higher average rates per block hour flown for both passenger ACMI and charter.

 Operational Highlights

• In the third quarter of 2024, GlobalX took delivery of one additional A320 and one A321 passenger aircraft, expanding the Company’s fleet to a total of 18 aircraft.

• Operated 1,600 hours in Europe with two aircraft, with plans to expand to three aircraft in 2025.

• Added several experienced leaders to our senior management team, each bringing essential expertise to drive the airline's continued growth.

Liquidity

• Cash and Restricted Cash: The Company had $7.8 million in cash and restricted cash at September 30, 2024, compared to cash and restricted cash of $10.4 million at June 30, 2024 and $17.7 million at December 31, 2023.

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.

EBITDAR which is defined as Operating income (loss), plus depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes and aircraft rent is an important metric to be considered to allow investors to compare results across different airlines regardless of how the airlines acquired their aircraft. This distinction is important when comparing the operational results of an airline leasing its aircraft versus an airline purchasing its aircraft. Specifically, the airline leasing aircraft would see the costs relating to those aircraft flow through aircraft rent, while an airline that owns their aircraft would see their costs for those aircraft flow through depreciation and amortization. In order to compare the operating results of the two airlines an investor needs to look at EBITDAR which is why it is presented.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of special items that may be incurred in the future, although these special items could be material to the Company’s results in accordance with GAAP.
