CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements.” When contained in this Report, the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”, “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions, or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors, many of which are outside our management’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Report and our management's current expectations, forecasts, and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks, and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors discussed from time to time in this Report as well as the risks described under Item 1A - “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, Part II, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" in this Report and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
Nature of the Business
flyExclusive, Inc. is a holding company that has no material assets other than its ownership in LGM Enterprises, LLC ("LGM"). flyExclusive, Inc. operates and controls all of the businesses and operations of LGM and LGM's subsidiaries. flyExclusive Inc. and its predecessor for accounting purposes, LGM, are collectively referred to herein as “flyExclusive” or the “Company.” flyExclusive is a premier owner/operator of jet aircraft and aircraft sales, with a focus on private jet charter. The Company's businesses provide separate offerings such as wholesale and retail ad hoc flights, a jet club program, partnership program, fractional program, and other services as well.
As part of its plan to become a full-service private aviation company, in 2021, the Company launched its maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations (“MRO”), offering maintenance, interior, and exterior refurbishment to third parties in addition to maintaining its own fleet.
On December 27, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), EG Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("EGA"), and LGM, a North Carolina limited liability company, consummated a business combination (the "Merger") pursuant to the equity purchase agreement dated October 17, 2022 and subsequent amendment to the equity purchase agreement dated April 21, 2023 (collectively, the "Equity Purchase Agreement" or "EPA"). In connection with the closing of the Merger, EGA changed its name to flyExclusive, Inc. The Class A common stock of flyExclusive ("flyExclusive Class A Common Stock" or the "Company's Class A Common Stock") and the public warrants of flyExclusive (the “Public Warrants”) commenced trading on The NYSE American LLC under the symbol "FLYX" and "FLYX WS", respectively, on December 28, 2023.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition, and results of operations, for the interim periods presented. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have not been audited and exclude certain disclosures required for annual financial statements. Also, the operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Correction of an Error
As part of our second quarter close process, the Company identified certain items that required revision surrounding the allocation of activity related to the accretion of redeemable noncontrolling interest to its redemption amount between additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. These errors had no impact on previously reported loss from operations, net loss, loss per share, temporary equity or permanent equity. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity (deficit) / members' equity (deficit) and temporary equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024 have been revised to reflect these adjustments to the presentation. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated quantitative and qualitative factors and determined the

Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of flyExclusive, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, all majority owned subsidiaries, and the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which flyExclusive or one of its subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary, regardless of the ownership percentage.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Where the Company’s ownership interest is less than 100%, the non-redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests held by third parties in the financial position and operating results of the Company’s subsidiaries and/or consolidated VIEs are reported as noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) within stockholders' / members' (deficit). Noncontrolling ownership interests that can be

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
redeemed for cash where redemption is not within the sole control of the Company are classified as temporary equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 480-10-S99-3(A)(2).
Liquidity and Going Concern
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred net losses and has operated with a working capital deficit. To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through a combination of operating cash flows, the sale of equity securities and convertible debt, and borrowings under loan facilities. At September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $
The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents on hand, operating cash flows, and proceeds from the fractional program will be sufficient to fund operations, including capital expenditure requirements, for at least 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements. However, the Company might need additional capital to fund growth plans or as circumstances change, which it would expect to obtain through equity issuances, refinancing existing debt, or new borrowings. Sufficient capital may not be readily available to the Company when needed or on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise capital, it could be forced to delay, reduce, suspend, or cease its working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and business development efforts, which would have a negative impact on its business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Reclassification
Certain amounts presented in the Company's previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited), the Company has made a reclassification of "(Loss) gain on lease termination" which was previously categorized within "Other income (expense)." This reclassification was made to better align with the current period's financial statement presentation. The net loss for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2024, remains unchanged from the previously issued financial statements. This reclassification had no impact on the Company's financial position, net loss, or cash flows for any period presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and the assessment of the probable future outcome. Subjective and significant estimates include, but are not limited to, determinations of the useful lives and expected future cash flows of long-lived assets, including intangibles, estimates of allowances for uncollectible accounts, parts and supplies inventory reserve, determination of impairment and fair value estimates associated with asset acquisitions, and aircraft held for sale. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (unaudited) in the period that they are determined.

Segment Information
The Company determines its operating segment after considering the Company’s organizational structure and the information regularly reviewed and evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews the financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. On the basis of these factors, the Company determined that it operates and manages its business as one operating segment, private aviation services. All ancillary and other revenue sources, such as fractional ownership and MRO services, are primarily to support the provision of the Company’s private aviation services to customers. Substantially all the Company’s long-lived assets are held in the United States, and revenue from private aviation services is substantially earned from flights within the United States. See Note 4 "Segment Information" for additional disclosures.
Public Warrants, Private Warrants, and Penny Warrants
As of September 30, 2025, the following Company warrants were outstanding: (i) the Public Warrants initially included in the EGA units issued in EGA's initial public offering, (ii) the warrants of EGA held by EG Sponsor LLC (the “EGA Sponsor”) that were issued to the EGA Sponsor at the closing of EGA's initial public offering (the "Private Placement Warrants"), (iii) warrants issued on March 4, 2024 in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock offering as described within Note 24 "Stockholders’ Equity / Members' Deficit and Noncontrolling Interests" (the "Series A Penny Warrants"), (iv) warrants issued on August 8, 2024, August 14, 2024, and March 21, 2025 in connection with the March 2025 and August 2024 Series B Preferred Stock offerings and the March 2025 note conversion as described within Note 24 "Stockholders' Equity / Members' Deficit and Noncontrolling Interests" (the "Series B Penny Warrants," together with the Series A Penny Warrants, the "Penny Warrants," and together with the Public Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants, and the Series A Penny Warrants, the "Warrants").
The Company classifies the Warrants as either a liability or as equity by first assessing whether the Warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). Under ASC 480, a financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation, or a financial instrument other than an outstanding share that embodies a conditional obligation, that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares must be classified as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on any one of the following: (a) a fixed monetary amount known at inception; (b) variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares; or (c) variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares. The Company determined that the Warrants should not be classified as liabilities under ASC 480.
If financial instruments, such as the Warrants, are not required to be classified as liabilities under ASC 480, the Company assesses whether such instruments are indexed to the Company's own stock under ASC 815-40. For an instrument to be considered indexed to an entity's own stock, its settlement amount must always equal the difference between the following: (a) the fair value of a fixed number of the Company's equity shares, and (b) a fixed monetary amount or a fixed amount of a debt instrument issued by the Company. Because there are scenarios in which the settlement amount would not equal the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of shares and a fixed monetary amount (or a fixed amount of a debt instrument), the Company determined that the Series A Penny Warrants, the Public Warrants, and the Private Placement Warrants were not indexed to the Company's own stock and therefore they must be classified as liabilities. The Company also determined that the Series A Penny Warrants, the Public Warrants, and the Private Placement Warrants satisfied all criteria to meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-83. For the Series B Penny Warrants, the Company determined that they were indexed to the Company's own stock and would be settled in shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at an explicit share limit. As such, the Company concluded that the Series B Penny Warrants must be classified as permanent equity, and that the Series B Penny Warrants are not subject to remeasurement at each reporting date.
The Company recorded the Series A Penny Warrants, the Public Warrants, and the Private Placement Warrants as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) at fair value, with subsequent changes in the fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (unaudited) at each reporting date.

Fair Value Measurement
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2— Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques.
The Company’s cash equivalents and investments in securities are carried at fair value in Level 1 or Level 2, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 5 "Fair Value Measurements").
The Company’s Series A Penny Warrants issued alongside the Series A Preferred Stock (as defined in Note 24 "Stockholders’ Equity / Members' Deficit and Noncontrolling Interests") represent a liability which is remeasured to fair value at each reporting period based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The fair value of the Penny Warrants is classified as a Level 3 measurement according to the fair value hierarchy described above due to the use of an unobservable input for volatility under the valuation method as described within Note 5 "Fair Value Measurements."
The closing price of the Public Warrants is used as the fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants as of each relevant reporting date. The fair value of the Public Warrants is classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. The fair value of the Private Warrants is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement due to the use of an observable market quote for the Public Warrants, which are considered to be a similar asset in an active market.
Receivables, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses
Notes receivable are reported at amortized cost, and are reported as net of an allowance for credit losses. Under ASC 326, the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral associated with the note, less costs to sell the asset, and the amortized cost basis of the note. The Company had an allowance for credit losses on notes receivable of $
Noncontrolling interest
Noncontrolling interests represent ownership interests attributable to third parties in certain consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited), condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (unaudited), and condensed consolidated statements of
17
Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
stockholders' equity (deficit) / members' equity (deficit) and temporary equity (unaudited) attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
In connection with the Merger, the former holders (the "Existing Equityholders") of units of ownership interest in LGM (the "LGM Common Units") retained post-Merger ownership interests in LGM as noncontrolling interests. Pursuant to the Amendment and Restated Operating Agreement, dated December 27, 2023 (the "Operating Agreement"), upon the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Existing Equityholders may redeem all or a portion of their LGM Common Units for either (a) shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock or b) an equivalent amount of cash as determined pursuant to the Operating Agreement.
While the Company determines whether redemption settlement is for cash or shares, settlement is not considered within the sole control of the Company as the holders of the Company's Class B common stock (“flyExclusive Class B Common Stock” or the “Class B Common Stock") will designate a majority of the members of the Company's board of directors (the "Board"). Since redemption for cash is not considered within the sole control of the Company, the noncontrolling interest is classified as temporary equity in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3(A)(2).
For periods in which the noncontrolling interest is not yet redeemable, but the likelihood of the noncontrolling interest becoming redeemable is probable, the Company will accrete changes in its redemption value from the date it becomes probable that it will become redeemable (the Closing Date) to its earliest redemption date (first anniversary of the Closing Date). This measurement method is in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3(A)15a. The Company will adjust the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest based on the higher of (1) the initial carrying value, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest's share of net income or loss, or (2) the redemption value. The Company is required to either (1) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the instrument using an appropriate methodology, usually the interest method, or (2) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the Closing Date to the earliest redemption date (the one year anniversary of the Closing Date) using the interest method.
For periods in which the noncontrolling interest is currently redeemable, the Company will adjust the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest based on the higher of (1) the initial carrying value, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest's share of net income or loss, or (2) the redemption value.
Any change in the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest will be recorded against retained earnings, or additional paid-in capital to the extent available in the absence of retained earnings. In the absence of both retained earnings and additional paid-in capital, the change will be recorded against accumulated deficit within equity.
Temporary Equity
The Company accounts for its common and preferred stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common and preferred stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common and preferred stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (as defined within Note 24 "Stockholders’ Equity / Members' Deficit and Noncontrolling Interests") feature certain redemption rights that are outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly,

The (gain) or loss from each transaction is recognized upon completion of the sale as a (gain) or loss on aircraft sales which is presented within the (gain) loss on aircraft sales and aircraft held for sale on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (unaudited).
The (gain) or loss on aircraft previously held for use as property and equipment and subsequently elected to actively market for sale is presented within the (gain) loss on aircraft sales and aircraft held for sale on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (unaudited). When a decision is made to actively market for sale, depreciation is discontinued, and aircraft held for sale is recorded at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to sell.

Other Accounting Policies
See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a description of other accounting principles upon which basis the accompanying consolidated financial statements in this Report were prepared.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company adopted the annual and interim disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 expands a public business entity's segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures, providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and requiring other new disclosures. See Note 4 for applicable reportable segment disclosures required by this guidance.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" (“ASU 2024-03”), which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. Such information should allow investors to better understand an entity's performance, assess future cash flows, and compare performance over time and with other entities. ASU 2024-03 will require public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, at each interim and annual reporting period, specific information about certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each expense caption presented on the face of the income statement, and the total amount of an entity's selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share using net loss attributable to Company common stockholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Because the Penny Warrants obligates the Company to issue shares for little or no cash consideration contingent only upon the passage of time (see Note 18 "Warrant Liabilities" for a description of the Penny Warrants), weighted average shares issuable under the Penny Warrants are included in the denominator in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Shares of Class B Common Stock do not share in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class B Common Stock under the two-class method has not been presented.
The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net (loss) income per share:

The fair values of government money market funds have been measured on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs, which are based on unadjusted quoted market prices within active markets. The short-term investments, including investments in fixed income securities, have been measured using quoted pricing on active markets for Level 1 investments and inputs based on alternative pricing sources and models utilizing observable market inputs for Level 2 investments.
The fair value of the Public Warrants is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is classified as Level 2 due to the use of an observable market quote for the Public Warrants, which are considered to be a similar asset in an active market. The warrant liability is calculated by multiplying the quoted market price of the Company’s Public Warrants by the total number of Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants.
The Company’s Level 3 liability consists of the Series A Penny Warrants associated with the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock. This liability has been classified as Level 3 due to the use of an unobservable input within the valuation, namely volatility.
The fair value of the Series A Penny Warrant liability as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation valuation method, using the following inputs and assumptions:

There have been no other changes in valuation techniques and related inputs. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3.
Management analyzes the Company’s variable interests including loans, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if the Company has any variable interests in these entities. This analysis includes both qualitative and quantitative reviews. Qualitative analysis is based on an evaluation of the design and primary risk of these entities, their organizational structures including decision making abilities, and financial and contractual agreements. Quantitative analysis is based on these entities’ equity interests and investment. The Company determined it has variable interests in Paint Entity and SAEs with Equity as a result of its equity interest in these entities. For those SAEs without Equity in which the Company has a (a) lease agreement for the aircraft which is the primary asset of these entities (the “lessor SAEs without Equity”), and (b) either (i) has a call option and/or (ii) a lessor put option for a fixed purchase price, the Company determined that it has variable interests in the lessor SAEs without Equity.
The Company then determines whether the entities that the Company has variable interests in are VIEs. ASC 810, "Consolidation," defines a VIE as an entity that either (i) lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; or (ii) has an equity holder(s) that, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Paint Entity, SAEs with Equity, and lessor SAEs without Equity are VIEs as they met at least one of the criteria above.
A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE through (a) power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.
The Company uses qualitative and quantitative analyses to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of VIEs including evaluation of (a) the purpose and design of the VIE, and (b) activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the VIE. The Company also determines how decisions about significant activities are made in the VIE and the party or parties that make them. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because it acts as manager of the entities’ aircraft or retains control of the entity through terms in the leases, thereby giving it the power to direct activities of the entities that most significantly impact its economic performance. In addition, the Company either (a) has obligations to the losses of the VIEs and the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the entities as a result of its equity interests, or (b) is deemed to have a controlling financial interest in the VIEs due to the other equity holders of these VIEs, as a group, lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest.

Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”)
The CARES Act, enacted on March 27, 2020, provides an ERC that is a refundable tax credit against certain employer taxes. The ERC was subsequently amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, the Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2021, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, all of which amended and extended the ERC availability and guidelines under the CARES Act. The goal of the ERC program is to encourage employers to retain and continue paying employees during periods of pandemic-related reduction in business volume even if those employees are not actually working, and therefore, are not providing a service to the employer.
Under the Act, eligible employers could take credits up to 70% of qualified wages with a limit of $7 per employee per quarter for the first three quarters of calendar year 2022. In order to qualify for the ERC in 2022, organizations generally had to experience a 20% or greater decrease in gross receipts in the quarter compared to the same quarter in calendar year 2019 or its operations had to have been fully or partially suspended during a calendar quarter due to “orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes)” due to COVID-19. The credit is taken against the Company’s share of Social Security Tax when the Company’s payroll provider files, or subsequently amends the applicable quarterly employer tax filings.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had received ERC payments totaling $

Credit Facility (Term Loan)
In August 2018, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with a financial institution (the “Lender”) to provide a term loan with a maximum borrowing amount of $
Interest accrues on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to the Overnight LIBOR-Based Rate, a per annum rate of interest which is equal to the greater of: (i) the floor rate
The Lender has the right to have any financed aircraft appraised during any outstanding obligations, at the Company’s sole cost and expense. In the event the loan is revealed to have a value greater than a certain percentage of the aircraft, the Company must make a mandatory repayment of the applicable loan to an amount that will reduce the loan to be less than the required percentage of the applicable appraised value. Pursuant to the term loan agreement, the Company must maintain a certain debt service coverage ratio (the ratio calculated by dividing EBITDA and sum of all loan payments), tested annually. There is also an optional prepayment clause which specifies that the Company may prepay any loans in whole or in part, and all prepayments of principal shall include interest accrued to the date of the prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid.
The Credit Facility contains clauses requiring the Company to maintain its limited liability companies’ existence and to not permit any of the subsidiaries to liquidate, dissolve, change their names, or consolidate with other corporations without prior consent of the Lender. The original loan agreement states that the Company may not re-borrow any amounts repaid to the Lender. The term loan is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and initially expires August 2019. The Credit Facility also contains other customary covenants, representations and events of default.
In August 2019, the Company entered into the First Amendment of the original term loan agreement which increased the maximum available borrowings of the Credit Facility to $
In November 2020, the Company entered into the Second Amendment of the term loan agreement which increased the maximum available borrowings of the Credit Facility to $

The LOC Master Note contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants and is subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including failure to make timely payments, breaches of certain representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness, failure to maintain the market value of the collateral such that at all times it equals or exceeds the Minimum Liquidity Balance and certain other events of default.
All payments shall be made in immediately available funds and shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal; however, if an Event of Default occurs, Lender may in its sole discretion, and in such order as it may choose, apply any payment to interest, principal and/or lawful charges and expenses then accrued.

Debt Covenants
Financial covenants contained in the debt borrowings mandate that the Company maintains certain financial metrics, including, but not limited to, debt service coverage ratios, fixed charge cover ratios, or cash flow cover ratios. If the Company is unable to maintain the financial metric, it is a breach of the debt covenant and is considered an event of default. An event of default can result in all loans and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable, including the advance of any sums necessary to cure the event of default, allowing the lenders to seize the collateralized assets, which include aircraft and the debt agreements being terminated. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants and obtained waiver request letters from the various lenders. Pursuant to the waiver letters, the lenders agreed to waive the financial covenants as of December 31, 2024.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants except that the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the EGA Sponsor or their permitted transferees. If the private warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement that governs the Public Warrants. The exercise price and number of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, or reclassification.
In connection with the securities purchase agreement, on March 4, 2024, the Company issued to EnTrust Emerald (Cayman) LP the Series A Penny Warrants. The Series A Penny Warrants grant the holder the right to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to one and one-half (1.5%) percent of the outstanding Class A Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (the “Share Count Cap”), calculated in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement, at an exercise price of $
The Series A Penny Warrants are classified as derivative liabilities because they do not meet the criteria in ASC 815-40 to be considered indexed to the entity’s own stock as the warrants could be settled for an amount that is not equal to the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of the entity’s shares and a fixed monetary amount. The Series A Penny Warrants are measured at fair value both on the date of issuance and on subsequent accounting period ending dates, with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (unaudited) as a gain or loss.

Legal Proceedings
flyExclusive Litigation
On June 30, 2023, Exclusive Jets, LLC (“Exclusive”) served Wheels Up Partners, LLC (“WUP”) a Notice of Termination of the parties’ Fleet Guaranteed Revenue Program Agreement, dated November 1, 2021 (the “GRP Agreement”) following material breaches of the GRP Agreement by WUP, including WUP’s failure to pay outstanding amounts owed to Exclusive under the GRP Agreement. Subsequently, on July 5, 2023, WUP filed a lawsuit against flyExclusive in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Initial Lawsuit”), alleging that Exclusive breached the GRP Agreement and the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing therein by wrongfully terminating the GRP Agreement. WUP contends that Exclusive did not have a right to terminate the GRP Agreement, that the termination was thus ineffective, and instead constituted a material breach of the GRP Agreement. WUP alleges this gave WUP the right to terminate the GRP Agreement, which WUP alleges it has done. WUP seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount and attorney’s fees and costs.
On August 23, 2023, prior to Exclusive filing a responsive pleading in the Initial Lawsuit, WUP voluntarily dismissed the Initial Lawsuit. That same day, WUP re-filed the same lawsuit against Exclusive in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County Of New York (the “State Lawsuit”). On September 12, 2023, Exclusive removed the State Lawsuit to the Southern District of New York (the “Court”), where the lawsuit is currently pending as case number 1:23-cv-08077-VSB. On September 19, 2023, Exclusive filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction or, in the alternative, motion to transfer the lawsuit to the U.S District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina (“Motion to Dismiss”). On October 9, 2023, WUP filed a motion to remand the State Lawsuit back

to state court (“Motion to Remand”) contending that the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction because there is not complete diversity of citizenship between the parties. WUP’s Motion to Remand and Exclusive’s Motion to Dismiss are pending before the Court.
On October 31, 2024, Exclusive filed an answer denying that WUP is entitled to any of the relief sought by WUP, and also filed a Counterclaim for breach of contract against WUP seeking damages in excess of $
Other Litigation
The Company is subject to certain claims and contingent liabilities that arise in the normal course of business. While we do not expect that the ultimate resolution of any of these pending actions will have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. As such, there can be no assurance that any pending legal action, which we currently believe to be immaterial, does not become material in the future.
Tax Receivable Agreement
The Company is party to a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with Thomas James Segrave Jr. (“Segrave”), Thomas James Segrave, Jr., as custodian for Laura Grace Segrave (“LG Trust”); Thomas James Segrave, Jr., as custodian for Madison Lee Segrave, (“ML Trust”); Thomas James Segrave, Jr., as custodian for Lillian May Segrave, (“LM Trust”); Thomas James Segrave, Jr., as custodian for Thomas James Segrave, III, (“TJ Trust” and, together with Segrave, LG Trust, ML Trust and LM Trust, the “Existing Equityholders”). At the closing of the Merger, the Company, LGM, the Existing Equityholders, and Thomas James Segrave Jr. entered into the TRA, dated as of December 27, 2023. Pursuant to the TRA, the Company is to pay the Existing Equityholders
Upon certain Early Termination Events (as defined in the TRA), the Company is required to make a lump sum cash payment to the Existing Equityholders equal to the present value of all forecasted future payments that would have otherwise been made pursuant to the TRA. The lump sum cash payment would be based on certain assumptions, including those relating to the Company’s forecasted tax savings as determined using the aforementioned “with and without” methodologies.
As of September 30, 2025, it is not probable that an Early Termination Event will occur. In a scenario where an Early Termination Event occurred, the maximum amount payable to existing Equityholders would be approximately $
Repurchase Contingencies
The Company has entered into sale and leaseback transactions in the ordinary course of business (see Note 6, "Variable Interest Entities"), and the Company has certain repurchase contingencies at the option of the lessors. These transactions typically require the aircraft lessor to provide the Company with formal notice of the exercise of the put option associated with the lease no later than

The flyExclusive Option is exercisable by the Company beginning six months following the completion of any change of control of Volato and will expire simultaneously with the end of the Term (as defined below). The Volato Merger (as defined below), if consummated, would constitute a change of control under the Amendment, triggering the beginning of the exercise date of the flyExclusive Option as
As previously reported, on February 13, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, FlyX Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of flyExclusive (“Merger Sub”), Jet.AI Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Jet.AI”) and Jet.AI SpinCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Jet.AI (“SpinCo”), pursuant to which (i) as a condition to closing the transaction, Jet.AI will distribute all of the shares of SpinCo, on a pro rata basis, to the stockholders of Jet.AI (the “Distribution”) and (ii) the Merger Sub will merge with and into SpinCo (the “Merger”) with SpinCo surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The parties to the Merger Agreement entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “A&R Merger Agreement”) on May 6, 2025 and executed Amendment No. 1 to the A&R Merger Agreement on July 30, 2025.
On October 10, 2025, the parties to the A&R Merger Agreement, as amended, executed Amendment No. 2 to the A&R Merger Agreement, as amended, to extend the Outside Date (as defined in the A&R Merger Agreement) from October 31, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (“Amendment No. 2”).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report. Management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” "anticipate,” "estimate,” “expect” and the like, and/or future tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties including those under "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and Item 1A "Risk Factors" elsewhere in this Report and “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Report. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the filing date of this Report.
Overview of Our Business
flyExclusive is a premier owner and operator of curated private aviation experiences dedicated to surpassing passenger expectations for quality, convenience, and safety. Our mission is to be the world’s most vertically integrated private aviation company through capital-efficient program growth, an industry-leading pricing model, optimal dispatch availability, in-house training, and a controlled premium customer experience on modernized aircraft. As of September 30, 2025, we had approximately 90 aircraft in our owned and leased fleet that includes light, midsize, super-midsize, and large jets. As one of the nation’s largest Citation operators, flyExclusive has curated a versatile fleet of Citation CJ3 / CJ3+, Citation Excel / XLS / XLS+, Citation Encore+, Citation Sovereign, Citation X, and Challenger 300 / 350 aircraft. We have a long track record of success and growth across a full range of industry services. Our core competitive advantage is the purpose-built, in-house control of decisions and processes needed to operate a successful private aviation company through a range of market environments.
We have a diversified and evolving business model generating charter revenue through our jet club membership program, fractional program, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“MRO”) program. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer review the financial information presented on a consolidated basis, and accordingly, we operate under one reportable segment, which is private aviation services.
Jet club revenue is generated from flight operations as well as membership fees. Jet club members are guaranteed access to our fleet of light, midsize, and super-midsize aircraft. New members pay a minimum deposit of $0.1 million up to a maximum of $0.5 million depending on their level of membership. Membership levels determine the daily rate a member is charged for future flights. Membership and incidental fees are also applied against a member’s account. The initial and all subsequent deposits to replenish the member’s account are non-refundable.
Fractional ownership members purchase a fractional ownership interest in an aircraft for a contractual term of up to five years, which grants the member access to our light, midsize, and super mid-size fleets. Fractional members pay daily and hourly rates for each flight. The first stage of the fractional revenue stream is the pre-owner stage where the member signs a letter of intent and interim use agreement, which may be before the aircraft is available. At this time, the member pays two deposits: one deposit is towards the purchase of the fractional interest and the second deposit is to have the ability to use the fleet in the interim period prior to owning the fractional interest. Upon completion of enrollment in the program, fractional members who purchase new aircraft obtain ownership when the aircraft is delivered, expected to be approximately one year from when the aircraft is ordered from the manufacturer. Fractional members have the ability to advance ownership if they purchase an interest in one of our pre-owned fractional aircraft. Once the transfer of interest in the aircraft is complete, the member becomes a fractional owner in the aircraft. With the transfer of interest, flyExclusive is still able to utilize these aircraft to service other channels, providing us with a capital-light way to grow our fleet.
Our MRO program services include 24/7 maintenance, interior, and exterior refurbishment services to third parties in addition to maintaining our own fleet. MRO revenue is recognized over time based on the cost of parts and supplies inventory consumed and labor

hours worked for each service provided. Any billing for MRO services that exceeds revenue earned to date is included in deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).
On September 2, 2024, the Company entered into an Aircraft Management Services Agreement (the “Volato Agreement”) with Volato Group, Inc. (“Volato”). Pursuant to the Volato Agreement, Volato engaged the Company as an independent contractor to provide certain aircraft management services and agreed that the Company will be the exclusive provider of such services to Volato. As consideration payable to the Company for providing the services, the Company will be entitled to retain the excess of revenue collected over expenses in connection with its delivery of services under the Volato Agreement.
The Volato Agreement has a term of twelve months and may be terminated by the Company immediately upon a material breach of the Agreement by Volato or upon 30 days’ written notice to Volato. Volato may terminate the Agreement immediately upon a material breach of the Agreement by the Company. During the term of the Agreement, certain Volato employees will provide consulting services to the Company, including consulting services related to software development, sales, and other professional services. The cost to the Company of these consulting services will be the current salaries and benefit costs of the Volato employees engaged to provide the services, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Volato also granted the Company a non-exclusive license to Volato’s proprietary software pursuant to the terms and conditions of a software license, with a license fee equal to the documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Volato with third-party vendors and only to the extent related solely and directly to the software. Under the terms of the Volato Agreement, the Company will manage flight operations, sales, and expenses of Volato’s fleet. The aircraft will remain on Volato's Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") certificate until they are potentially moved to the Company's FAA certificate.
As part of the Volato Agreement, Volato granted the Company the right to cause Volato to merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Option”). The term of the Option will expire twelve months from the date of the Agreement, provided, however, that the term of the Option will continue until the closing or abandonment of the merger by either or both parties. Any merger is subject to a fully executed, mutually agreed upon definitive merger agreement and any required regulatory, board of directors, and shareholder approvals for both the Company and Volato. Consideration for the merger may be in the form of the Company’s Class A Common Stock or cash, in the Company’s discretion. The purchase price for the merger would be based on the volume-weighted average price of Volato’s common stock for the 30 trading-day period prior to the earlier of the public announcement of (1) the exercise by the Company of its exercise of the Option, or (2) the signing of a definitive merger agreement.
On October 1, 2025, the Company and Volato entered into the Amendment to the Volato Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, Volato granted the Company the right to purchase from Volato certain aviation-related assets and assume certain obligations related to aviation-related assets (the “flyExclusive Option”), and the Company granted Volato the right to sell to the Company certain aviation-related assets and assign certain obligations of Volato (the “Volato Option,” and collectively with the flyExclusive Option, the “Asset Options”). The Volato Option is exercisable by Volato beginning on the effective date of the Amendment and ends on the earlier of (i) the end of the Term (defined below), (ii) the day immediately prior to the beginning of the exercise period of the flyExclusive Option, and (iii) the completion of the Merger Option. The flyExclusive Option is exercisable by the Company beginning six months following the completion of any change of control of Volato and will expire simultaneously with the end of the Term (as defined below). The Volato Merger (as defined below), if consummated, would constitute a change of control under the Amendment, triggering the beginning of the exercise date of the flyExclusive Option as March 31, 2026. In addition, the term of the Volato Agreement (the “Term”) was extended to the sooner of (i) September 1, 2026, (ii) the consummation of the asset purchase agreement applicable to the Asset Options, subject to an exercise of either of the Asset Options or (iii) the consummation of the merger (or any substantially similar transaction) of Volato and M2i Global, Inc. (the “Volato Merger”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger among them, dated as of July 28, 2025, subject to the exercise of the Merger Option. In consideration for the Amendment, including the transfer of assets envisioned by the flyExclusive Option and the settlement of certain outstanding accounts between Volato and the Company, and the grant by Volato to the Company of certain additional rights, the Company will pay Volato $4.1 million, $2.1 million of which was payable on the date of the Amendment. The Company may pay, in its discretion, some or all of the consideration in cash or shares of its Class A common stock. The Company elected to pay all of the $2.1 million in shares of its Class A common stock and issued an aggregate of 432,099 shares to Volato in October 2025.
Key Factors Affecting Results of Operations
52
Table of Contents
We believe that the following factors have affected our financial condition and results of operations and are expected to continue to have a significant effect:
Economic Conditions
If demand for private aviation services were to decrease, it could result in slower jet club growth, members declining to renew their memberships, and reduced interest in the fractional and partnership programs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, our customers may consider private air travel through our products and services to be a luxury item, especially when compared to commercial air travel or not traveling by air at all. As a result, any general downturn in economic, business, and financial conditions which has an adverse effect on our customers’ spending habits could cause them to travel less frequently and, to the extent they travel, to travel using commercial air carriers or other means considered to be more economical than our products and services. In addition, in cases where significant hours of private flight are needed, many of the companies and high-net-worth individuals to whom we provide products and services have the financial ability to purchase their own aircraft or operate their own corporate flight department should they elect to do so.
Competition
Many of the markets in which we operate are competitive as a result of the expansion of existing private aircraft operators, expanding private aircraft ownership, and alternatives such as luxury commercial airline service. We compete against a number of private aviation operators with different business models, and local and regional private charter operators. Factors that affect competition in our industry include price, reliability, safety, regulations, professional reputation, aircraft availability, equipment, the quality, consistency and ease of service, willingness and ability to serve specific airports or regions, and investment requirements. Our competitors might capture a share of our present or potential customer base, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Pilot Availability and Attrition
In recent years, we have experienced significant volatility in our attrition, including volatility resulting from training delays, pilot wage and bonus increases with other industry participants, and the growth of cargo, low-cost, and ultra-low-cost airlines. In prior periods, these factors, at times, caused our pilot attrition rates to be higher than our ability to hire and retain replacement pilots. If our attrition rates are higher than our ability to hire and retain replacement pilots, our operations and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.
Wheels Up (“WUP”) Termination
On June 30, 2023, we served WUP a Notice of Termination of the parties’ Fleet Guaranteed Revenue Program Agreement, dated November 1, 2021 (the “GRP Agreement”). As a result of the termination, the GRP program did not generate revenue following the date of the GRP Agreement’s termination, which had a material impact on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. For some time prior to the termination of the GRP Agreement we were planning, for the strategic reasons of avoiding excessive reliance on a single customer and shifting towards focusing on wholesale and contractual retail customers, to scale down business with WUP, and we had already reflected scaled down revenue accordingly in our publicly disclosed projections. However, the termination of the GRP Agreement will have have a material impact on the financial statements beyond 2023 until we are able to successfully effectuate this planned strategic shift and replace the revenue lost from the termination of the GRP Agreement. Additionally, as of June 27, 2023, WUP accounted for $15.7 million in receivables, which was a significant majority of total receivables at that time. When the GRP Agreement with WUP was terminated on June 30, 2023 the receivable balances were eliminated, as allowable under relevant accounting standards, by being applied against existing deposits held under the GRP Agreement. The GRP Agreement provided for an orderly draw down period of the designated aircraft at a maximum of two aircraft per month. The Company submitted a bill for monies due under the GRP Agreement during the draw down period through July 31, 2024. Billed but unrecorded amounts through September 30, 2025 totaled $59.0 million.
See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry - “On June 30, 2023, we terminated our agreement with Wheels Up that accounted for a significant portion of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022 and
53
Table of Contents
2023. Such termination could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition if we fail to materially replace the revenue derived from Wheels Up moving forward as expected” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Note 23 "Commitments and Contingencies" of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report, for more information on the WUP termination.
Fleet Modernization
During the fourth quarter of 2023, we began the process of modernizing our fleet. Our plan is to sell a portion of our fleet that is older and replace those aircraft with newer models, which will grant our customers access to newer aircraft. In connection with this effort, through the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a portion of the fleet as being held for sale. We expect the fleet modernization to continue through fiscal 2025 and do not anticipate a material decline to revenue as we will replace sold models with the newer aircraft which offer increased availability and operating efficiency.
CARES Act
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act provided the airline industry with up to (i) $25.0 billion in grants with assurances the support is to be used exclusively for employee salaries, wages, and benefits, and (ii) $25.0 billion in secured loans.
We applied to the Treasury for assistance under the Payroll Support Program and the Paycheck Protection Program as established by the CARES Act. We were awarded $23.6 million to support ongoing operations, all of which has been received.
The CARES Act support payments were conditioned, including certain restrictions on executive and other employee compensation and severance through April 1, 2023, and certain ongoing reporting obligations through April 1, 2023. While we believe that we are fully compliant with all requirements of the CARES Act and the Payroll Support Program Agreements, including the requirement to use the awards only for payment of certain employment costs (i.e. wages, salaries, and benefits), if we were found to be not in compliance with such requirements, the Treasury has sole discretion to impose any remedy it deems appropriate, including requiring full repayment of the awards with appropriate interest. The imposition of any such remedy could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition.
The CARES Act also provides an Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) program. The goal of the ERC program is to encourage employers to retain and continue paying employees during periods of pandemic-related reduction in business volume even if those employees are not actually working, and therefore, are not providing a service to the employer. Under the Act, eligible employers could take credits up to 70% of qualified wages with a limit of $7 thousand per employee per quarter for the first three quarters of calendar year 2021. In order to qualify for the ERC in 2021, organizations generally had to experience a more than 20% decrease in gross receipts in the quarter compared to the same quarter in calendar year 2019 or its operations are fully or partially suspended during a calendar quarter due to “orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes)” due to COVID-19. The credit is taken against our share of Social Security Tax when our payroll provider files, or subsequently amends the applicable quarterly employer tax filings.
As of September 30, 2025, we had applied for $9.5 million and received $9.0 million of ERC. Our legal counsel has issued a legal opinion that we, more likely than not, qualified for the ERC. However, it remains uncertain whether we meet the qualifications required to receive the ERC. Therefore, the balance was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets should we be required to potentially repay the ERC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results of operations below, we report certain key financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
These non-GAAP financial measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures of financial results provide useful supplemental
54
Table of Contents
information about us to investors. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures and their nearest U.S. GAAP equivalents, including that they exclude significant expenses that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in our financial measures. In addition, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures might not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for (i) interest (income) expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) litigation costs, (v) acquisition costs, (vi) equity-based compensation, (vii) non-cash loss on assets held for sale, which represents the impairment charges recognized on assets designated for sale prior to their disposal, (viii) realized losses on aircraft sold as part of fleet modernization efforts, (ix) loss on extinguishment of debt, (x) change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and (xi) SOX control remediation. We calculate Adjusted EBITDAR as Adjusted EBITDA, as further adjusted for aircraft lease costs.
We include Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure for assessing operating performance in conjunction with related U.S. GAAP amounts and for the following:
Adjusted EBITDAR is included as a supplemental measure because we believe it provides an alternate presentation to adjust for the effects of financing in general and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions of aircraft, which may be acquired outright, acquired subject to acquisition debt, by finance lease or by operating lease, each of which may vary significantly between periods and results in a different accounting presentation.
The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to net loss, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure (in thousands):

Key Operating Metrics
In addition to financial measures, we regularly review certain key operating metrics to evaluate our business, determine the allocation of resources, and make decisions regarding business strategies. We believe that these metrics can be useful for understanding the underlying trends in our business. Pursuant to the Volato Agreement, effective September 1, 2024, the Company operated certain legacy Volato aircraft under the Volato certificate during the current period. The Company also provided services to Volato legacy members and fractional owners. As a result, we have included the aircraft on Volato's certificate, hours flown on those aircraft, and the members and fractional owners in the operating metrics below for completeness.
The following table summarizes our key operating metrics:

* Members contributing to revenues are defined as the number of contractual retail members - club, fractional, and partnership members - that contributed to revenues during the reporting period.
Members contributing to revenues
We define members contributing to revenues as the number of club, fractional, and partnership members that contributed to revenues during the reporting period. We believe that membership growth is strategically correlated to aircraft additions, and the evolution of our business from non-contractual wholesale customers prior to 2020 to contractually committed members, which provides greater revenue visibility. Due to the nature of our business, we have periods of time in which not every member utilizes our services.
Active Members
We define active members as members that have taken at least one flight during the reporting period.
Average aircraft on certificate
We define average aircraft on certificate as the average number of airworthy aircraft in our fleet as certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) deeming the aircraft operational. We believe that our growth has been fueled by a disciplined, strategic approach to adding aircraft, either via fractional or whole ownership or via lease from a third party. The time between the purchase or lease of an aircraft and the aircraft’s certification is critical because revenue cannot be earned on the aircraft until it is certified by the FAA. Thus, we use average aircraft on certificate as a key operating metric within a given reporting period.
Ending aircraft on certificate
56
Table of Contents
We define ending aircraft on certificate as the number of airworthy aircraft in our fleet as certified by the FAA at the end of a given reporting period. We use ending aircraft on certificate to measure fleet growth in comparison to historical periods.
Aircraft contributing to revenues
We define aircraft contributing to revenues as the number of aircraft on certificate that completed a customer flight leg during the reporting period. Aircraft contributing to revenues during a given reporting period is lower than the number of aircraft on certificate due to unavailable aircraft resulting from maintenance and/or refurbishment.
Total flight hours
We define total flight hours as the actual flight time from the moment of aircraft lift-off at the departure airport until it touches ground at the end of a flight. We believe total flight hours is a useful metric to measure the usage of our programs and the scale of our fleet and revenue growth.
Total hours per aircraft
We define total hours per aircraft as the total flight hours divided by the average number of aircraft on our operating certificates during the reporting period. We use total hours per aircraft to assess operational efficiency as it pertains to aircraft utilization and mitigation of downtime, which can result from maintenance and/or crew availability.
Members per aircraft
We define members per aircraft as members contributing to revenues divided by aircraft contributing to revenues. We use members per aircraft to control the customer experience through the management of our customer to aircraft ratio. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, 96.7% of our customers were fulfilled on our fleet without the potential high-cost of reliance of third parties to meet demand. An optimal customer to aircraft ratio allows us to gain a competitive advantage by having sufficient aircraft available to meet member demand and be flexible to backfill unused aircraft for wholesale use.
Components of Results of Our Operations
The key components of our results of operations include:
Revenue
We derive revenue from charter flights, which include our jet club, fractional programs, wholesale, and retail. We also derive revenue from our MRO services and management fees related to the Volato Agreement.
Customers prepay us for member flights based on contractual rates depending on the type of flight. We then recognize revenue from these prepayments upon completion of a flight.
Jet club members pay an initial non-refundable flight deposit where the amount of the flight deposit impacts the contractual rates paid. We recognize this kind of revenue and membership fees monthly as the Company stands ready to provide flight services as requested by the customer, thereby satisfying our related performance obligation.
Revenue for flights and related services is recognized when such services are provided to the customers. Fluctuations in revenue during any given period in the flights and related services portion of our jet club program are directly correlated to customer demand.
We recognize fractional revenue from the sales of fractional ownership interests in aircraft over the term of the agreement. In certain contracts the customer can require us to repurchase the interest after a fixed period of time but prior to the contractual termination date of the contract. This is accounted for as a right of return. The consideration from the fractional ownership interest, as adjusted for any customer right of return, is recognized over the term of the contract on a straight-line basis. Variable consideration generated from flight services is recognized in the period of performance.
MRO services are comprised of a single performance obligation for aircraft maintenance services such as modifications, repairs, and inspections. MRO revenue is recognized over time based on the cost of parts and supplies consumed and labor hours worked for
57
Table of Contents
each service provided. Any billing for MRO services that exceeds revenue earned to date is included in deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets.
Costs and expenses
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue primarily consists of direct expenses incurred to provide flight services and facilitate operations, including aircraft lease costs, fuel, payroll expenses including wages and employee benefits for employees directly providing and facilitating flight services, crew travel, insurance, maintenance, subscriptions, and third-party flight costs.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expense primarily consists of non-flight related employee compensation wages and benefits in our finance, executive, human resources, legal, and other administrative functions, employee training, third-party professional fees, corporate travel, advertising, and corporate related lease expenses.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense primarily consists of depreciation of capitalized aircraft. Depreciation and amortization also includes amortization of capitalized software development costs.
(Gain) loss on aircraft sales and aircraft held for sale
Consists of aircraft sales in excess (gain) or below (loss) their net book value, in addition to the recognized (loss) on aircraft classified as held for sale where the fair value less costs to sell are below (loss) their net book value.
Other income (expense)
Interest income
Interest income consists of interest earned on municipal bond funds and U.S. Treasury bills.
Interest expense
Interest expense primarily consists of interest paid or payable and the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs on our loans.
(Loss) gain on lease termination
This consists of (losses) gains that arise from the difference between the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liability recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities reflects the non-cash change in fair value of our warrant liabilities attributed to our warrants.
Loss on extinguishment of debt
Loss on extinguishment of debt consists of loss on the exchange of the EG sponsor note in exchange for additional Series B preferred shares.
Other income (expense)
Other expense consists of dividend income, realized gain/loss on sales of investment securities, gain/loss on lease termination, and state tax payments.

Jet club and charter flight hours increased by 7.5% and effective hourly rates increased by 1.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Fractional ownership revenue increased by $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to fractional membership growth.
Maintenance, repair, and overhaul revenue increased by $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in external services for outside customers.
Aircraft management services revenue increased by $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of the Company providing certain aircraft management services for third-party aircraft owners under the Volato Agreement, which was entered into in September 2024.
We expect our revenue to increase over time as a result of adding aircraft to our fleet and forecasted membership growth.

Table of Contents
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $0.8 million, or 3.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense resulting from a decrease in owned aircraft.
(Gain) loss on aircraft sales and aircraft held for sale
(Gain) loss on aircraft sales and aircraft held for sale changed by $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of the favorable environment for selling aircraft for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Other income (expense)
Interest income
Interest income decreased by $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of a decrease in interest income from U.S. Treasury bills as well as sales of investment securities during 2025.
(Loss) gain on lease termination
The loss on lease termination increased by $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to increased impairment on leasehold improvments during the current period.
Loss on extinguishment of debt
The loss on extinguishment of debt increased by $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as a result of the exchange of the EGA Sponsor Note in exchange for additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the first quarter of 2025.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased by $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of decreased debt.
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities changed by $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to changes in the observable inputs such as the trading price of our Class A Common Stock, by which the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are valued.

Jet club and charter revenue increased by $10.7 million, or 15.4%, to $80,330, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Jet club and charter flight hours increased by 13.1% and effective hourly rates increased by 2.0% during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Fractional ownership revenue increased by $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to fractional membership growth.
Maintenance, repair, and overhaul revenue increased by $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to an increase in external services for outside customers.
Aircraft management services revenue decreased by $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to the Company providing fewer aircraft management services for third-party aircraft owners under the Volato Agreement which was entered into in September 2024.
We expect our revenue to increase over time as a result of adding aircraft to our fleet and forecasted membership growth.

Costs and expenses
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue increased by $11.3 million, or 16.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to:
While expenses increased, the gross margin improved when compared to revenue for the respective periods, primarily as a result of the realization of benefits associated with the Company's fleet modernization efforts.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to:
These positive trends reflect the Company's efforts to optimize its workforce as revenue growth outpaced these expenses for the period.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $0.4 million or 6.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in amortization related to finance leases.
Other income (expense)
Interest income
Interest income decreased by $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of a decrease in interest income from U.S. Treasury bills as well as sales of investment securities during 2025.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased by $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of decreased debt at September 30, 2025 compared to September 30, 2024.
(Loss) gain on lease termination
The loss on lease termination increased by $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to increased impairment on leasehold improvements during the current period.

Table of Contents
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities
The change in fair value of warrant liabilities changed by $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to changes in the observable inputs, such as the trading price of our Class A Common Stock, by which the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are valued.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity have historically consisted of financing activities, including proceeds from equity investments by our chief executive officer, Thomas James Segrave Jr., notes payable, and operating activities, primarily from the increase in deferred revenue associated with prepaid flights. As of September 30, 2025, we had $18.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. In addition, as described below, in January 2024 we entered into a senior secured note to borrow up to $25.8 million and as described below, in March 2024, we issued non-convertible redeemable Series A preferred stock that provided the Company with approximately $25.0 million of capital, and in August 2024, we issued convertible Series B preferred stock that provided the Company with approximately $25.5 million of capital. Our cash equivalents primarily consist of liquid money market funds, and our investments primarily consist of fixed-income securities including municipal issues.
We have consistently maintained a working capital deficit, in which our current liabilities exceed our current assets. We believe that the working capital deficit is common within the private aviation industry and is primarily, but not wholly, due to the nature of our deferred revenue, primarily related to prepaid flights, which are performance obligations generally for future flights. Our primary needs for liquidity are to fund working capital, debt service requirements, lease and purchase obligations, capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes. Our cash needs vary from period to period, primarily based on the timing of aircraft purchases and the costs of aircraft engine overhauls, repairs, and maintenance.
We believe factors that could affect our liquidity include our rate of revenue growth, changes in demand for our services, competitive pricing pressures, other growth initiatives, our ability to keep increases in operating expenses in line with growth in revenues, and overall economic conditions. To the extent that our current liquidity is insufficient to fund future activities, we would need to raise additional funds. In the future, we may attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities or through debt financing arrangements. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the ownership of existing shareholders will be diluted. The incurrence of additional debt financing would result in debt service obligations, and any such debt could include operating and financing covenants that could restrict our operations. In the event that additional funds are required from outside sources, we might not be able to raise funds on terms acceptable to us or at all.
We believe that our existing cash on hand, cash generated from operations and available borrowings under our debt arrangement will enable us to secure refinancing as needed to meet our obligations as they become due within the next 12 months. If we are not able to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all, our liquidity and business would be materially adversely impacted.
Cash Requirements
Our material cash requirements include the following contractual and other obligations:
Debt
See Note 16 "Debt" to our financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for further information on the debt arrangements discussed below.
Short Term Notes Payable
We have entered into multiple short-term loan agreements with various lenders for the purpose of financing the purchase of aircraft. The loan agreements have varying interest rates, maturity dates and lender-imposed restrictions.
Credit Facility (Term Loan)
64
Table of Contents
In August 2018, we entered into a term loan agreement with a maximum borrowing capacity of $12.3 million. We have since entered into amended term loan agreements, which raised the maximum borrowing capacity to $15.3 million. As of September 30, 2025 we had $0 outstanding under the Credit Facility (Term Loan), and we are not exploring renewal of the term loan agreement.
Credit Facility (Revolving Line of Credit)
In March 2023, the Company entered into a revolving uncommitted line of credit loan (the “Master Note”). The Master Note provides a line of credit of up to $60.0 million. At the Company’s option, the annual interest rate on term loans drawn from the Master Note is equal to either the Prime-Based Rate, defined as the greater of 1.25% or the prime rate minus 1.88%, or the Daily Simple SOFR-Based Rate, defined as the greater of 1.25% or the Daily Simple SOFR plus 1.25%. On March 9, 2024, we entered into an amendment to extend the maturity date of the Master Note from March 9, 2024 to September 9, 2025.The amendment also resulted in the selected interest option being revised to SOFR plus 1.50%.
We drew an initial $44.5 million principal amount in March 2023, with the selected interest option of SOFR plus 1.25%. In April, September and October 2023, we drew additional $3.3 million, $8.7 million and $3.0 million principal amounts, respectively, under the Master Note.
On March 7, 2025, the Company paid in full the $59,540 balance on the LOC Master Note and closed the LOC.
Senior Secured Notes
In December 2023, we issued $15.7 million in principal amount of senior secured notes in a private offering. These notes were originally due on December 1, 2024, but the maturity date of the notes has been extended to January 1, 2027. The notes were issued with a stated rate of 14% and interest is payable monthly in arrears. At maturity, the full principal amount will be due, along with any accrued unpaid interest. The Company is using the $15.7 million to fund aircraft purchases.
Long-Term Loan Agreement
In connection with the acquisition of a new aircraft in February 2024, the Company entered into a long-term promissory note agreement with a principal amount of $4.2 million. The note bears a fixed interest rate of 7.25% and has a maturity date five years from the note agreement date.
In March 2024, the Company entered into a long-term promissory note agreement with a principal amount of $13.9 million. The note bears a fixed interest rate of 9.45% and has a maturity date ten years from the note agreement date.
In April 2024, the Company entered into an amendment of a short-term promissory note agreement, to extend the maturity date to a long-term promissory note maturing in April 2025 with a principal amount of $7.8 million. The note bears a fixed interest rate of 7.75% and has a maturity date five years from the note amendment.
In May 2024, the Company entered into a long-term promissory note agreement with a principal amount of $12.6 million. The note bears a fixed interest rate of 8.81% and has a maturity date five years from the note agreement date.
January 2024 Senior Secured Note
On January 26, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), FlyExclusive Jet Share, LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Senior Secured Note (the “Senior Secured Note”) with ETG FE LLC (the “Noteholder”), Kroll Agency Services, Limited, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and Kroll Trustee Services, Limited, (the “Collateral Agent”).
The Senior Secured Note covers borrowings of an aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $25.8 million, up to $25.0 million of which is to finance the purchase or refinancing of aircraft relating to the Company’s fractional ownership program (the “Revolving Loan”). The Senior Secured Note matures on January 26, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the aggregate outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest (including accrued and unpaid fees and expenses) shall be due and payable.
65
Table of Contents
Following the occurrence of any Prepayment Event (as defined in the Senior Secured Note), at the option of the then majority Noteholders, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount, all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts in cash necessary to pay the Senior Secured Note in full.
The Senior Secured Note carries an interest rate of 3.00% per annum for the outstanding principal amount on deposit in the cash escrow account and 13.00% per annum for the outstanding principal amount that is withdrawn and released to the Borrower. All accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar month (a “Payment Date”), commencing with the last day of the first calendar month following the first borrowing date and continuing until payment in full. On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall make a payment of the outstanding principal amount equal to 1.00% of each advance amount withdrawn from the cash escrow account and released to the Borrower and that has been outstanding for more than thirty days.
March 2024 Non-Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
On March 4, 2024 (the “Effective Date” or the “Initial Issue Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with EnTrust Emerald (Cayman) LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser 25,000 shares of Series A Non-Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The transaction closed on the Effective Date and provided the Company approximately $25 million of capital.
Dividends will be due and payable annually in arrears on March 4 (the “Dividend Payment Date”) by either (A) cash payment or (B) to the extent not declared and paid in cash on the Dividend Payment Date, automatically compounded; provided that, the Company may not declare and pay in cash any dividends prior to the third Dividend Payment Date. On the third Dividend Payment Date, the Company must declare and pay at least 43% of the dividends in cash, and with respect to each subsequent Dividend Payment Date, the Company must pay 100% of the dividends in cash.
After the first-year anniversary of the Initial Issue Date, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Company may elect to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any portion thereof, for cash at a redemption price per share as detailed in the Series A Certificate of Designation. After the fifth-year anniversary of the Initial Issue Date, each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock may elect to require the Company to redeem all of its outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any portion thereof, for cash at a redemption price per share as detailed in the Series A Certificate of Designation. The Series A Certificate of Designation also describes events triggering mandatory redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, including a Bankruptcy Event or a Change of Control Event, each as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation.
August 2024 Convertible Preferred Stock
On August 8, 2024 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with EnTrust Emerald (Cayman) LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“EnTrust”), and the EGA Sponsor (collectively with EnTrust, the “Purchasers”) (related parties of the Company through its affiliation with the EGA Sponsor), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of 25,510 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and Series B Penny Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Company issued 20,408 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and a Series B Penny Warrant to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock to EnTrust on the Initial Closing Date and received gross proceeds of approximately $20.4 million. Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, on August 14, 2024 (the "Subsequent Closing Date"), the Company (i) issued the remaining 5,102 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and a Warrant to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to EG Sponsor and received additional gross proceeds of approximately $5.1 million.
March 2025 Series B Preferred Stock
On March 21, 2025, the Company and EGA Sponsor entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby they cancelled the EGA Sponsor Note in exchange for 4,227 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to 1,268,100 shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock was determined by dividing the
66
Table of Contents
principal and accrued interest outstanding under the December 2023 Promissory Note by $1,000. There was approximately $4,227 in principal and accrued interest outstanding under the EGA Sponsor Note, which resulted in the issuance of 4,227 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share and are exercisable until the fifth anniversary of their issuance.
Leases
We have entered into various lease arrangements for vehicles, hangars, office space, and aircraft. In addition to leases of aircraft, we are obligated to pay into aircraft reserve programs.
The duration of our leases varies from two to 30 years, and the leases are generally operating leases. Our vehicle leases are typically month-to-month and are classified as short-term leases.
See Note 17 "Leases" to our financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for further detail of our lease arrangements.
Short-Term Expenditures
We currently anticipate that cash required for expenditures for the next 12 months is approximately $144.9 million, which includes accounts payable of $33.3 million, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $29.8 million, long-term notes payable, current portion of $25.0 million, short-term notes payable of $9.7 million, long-term notes payable - related party, current portion of $25.7 million, non-cancellable lease payments of $21.5 million and excise tax payable of $1.2 million. We plan to refinance contractual principal payments that comprise the short-term debt liability as they become due. As stated above, we have maintained a positive relationship with our debtholders and have not historically had any difficulty refinancing our debt obligations. Based on our historical experience and the fact that we have not suffered any decline in creditworthiness, we expect that our cash on hand and cash earnings will enable us to secure the necessary refinancing to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months. The accounts payable, accrued expenses, and lease liabilities will be settled using a combination of cash generated by operations, sale of investments, and incremental borrowing activity, if necessary.
Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in Item 1A, "Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry," as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $10.3 million, resulting from our net loss of $60.2 million, adjusted for $19.7 million of depreciation and amortization, $2.2 million in non-cash interest expense, $16.5 million in non-cash rent expense, $2.1 million loss on lease termination, $4.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt, $2.8 million of stock based compensation, $0.2 realized loss on investment securities, $0.6 million change in the fair value of private placement warrant liability, a $0.4 million change in the fair value of public warrant liability and a $1.1 million change in the fair value of penny warrant liability, partially offset by a $3.9 million increase from net changes in operating assets and liabilities, and a $3.3 million gain on assets held for sale. The $3.9 million inflow from operating assets and liabilities is primarily due to a $0.8 million decrease from accounts receivable, a $1.2 million decrease from other receivables, a $0.4 million decrease in parts and supplies inventory, a $4.2 million decrease from prepaid and other current assets, a $16.3 million decrease from operating lease liabilities, offset by a $1.4 million increase in

amounts due from related parties, a $13.0 million increase from accounts payable, a $3.1 million increase from deferred revenue, and a $9.4 million increase in other non-current liabilities.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $54.4 million, resulting from our net loss of $85.0 million, adjusted for $19.3 million of depreciation and amortization, $0.8 million in amortization of contract costs, $1.1 million in non-cash interest expense, $15.8 million in non-cash rent expense, a $4.9 million loss on aircraft held for sale, a $2.1 million increase in the provision for credit losses, a $0.4 million change in fair value of a Private Placement Warrant liability, a $4.0 million change in the fair value of the Public Warrant liability, and a $13.5 million decrease from net changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by a $2.1 million change in non-cash interest income and a $2.2 million change in the fair value of Penny Warrant liability. The $13.5 million outflow from operating assets and liabilities is primarily due to a $1.8 million decrease from other receivables, a $0.8 million decrease from parts and supplies inventory, a $16.0 million decrease from operating lease liabilities, a $4.1 million decrease from accounts payable, a $2.9 million decrease from other current liabilities, and a $0.7 million decrease in accounts receivable, partially offset by a $6.3 million increase from deferred revenue, a $6.4 million increase from other non-current liabilities, and a $0.3 million increase from prepaid and other current assets.
Net cash flows from investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $78.5 million, primarily due to proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $47.0 million, and proceeds from the sale of investments of $80.0 million. Partially offsetting the increase in net cash provided by investing activities were purchases of property and equipment of $14.9 million, purchases of engine overhauls of $17.8 million, and purchases of investments of $15.5 million.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $22.1 million, primarily due to proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $28.5 million, proceeds from the sale of investments of $57.4 million, and the paydown of notes receivable of $15.0 million. Partially offsetting the increase in net cash provided by investing activities were purchases of property and equipment of $14.7 million, purchases of engine overhauls of $18.4 million, and purchases of investments of $45.5 million.
Net cash flows from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $81.1 million, resulting primarily from repayment of debt of $84.1 million, net cash distributions to noncontrolling interests of $22.4 million, payment of debt issuance costs of $2.0 million and repayment of finance lease of $3.9 million. Partially offsetting the decrease in net cash used in financing activities was proceeds from the issuance of equity of $5.8 million and proceeds from the issuance of debt of $25.8 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $39.4 million, resulting primarily from proceeds from debt of $71.4 million to fund purchases of property and equipment, and proceeds from the issuance of preferred equity of $29.8 million. Partially offsetting the increase in net cash provided by financing activities was repayment of debt of $50.3 million, payment of debt issuance costs of $4.0 million, and net cash distributions to noncontrolling interests of $7.6 million.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
Our principal commitments consist of contractual cash obligations under our borrowings with banks, and operating leases for certain controlled aircraft, corporate headquarters, and operational facilities, including aircraft hangars. Our obligations under our borrowing arrangements are described in Note 16 "Debt" and for further information on our leases, see Note 17 "Leases" of the accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.
From time to time, we are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that we have meritorious arguments in our current litigation matters and that any outcome, either individually or in the aggregate, will not be material to our financial position or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
68
Table of Contents
There were no significant changes to the Company's critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared with those disclosed within Part II, Item 7 — “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, aside from those included below:
Public Warrants, Private Warrants and Penny Warrants
As of September 30, 2025, the Company has the following warrants issued, (i) the Public Warrants initially included in the EGA units issued in EGA's initial public offering, (ii) the warrants of EGA held by EG Sponsor LLC (the “EGA Sponsor”) that were issued to the EGA Sponsor at the closing of EGA's initial public offering (the "Private Placement Warrants,"), (iii) warrants issued on March 4, 2024 in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock offering as described within Note 24 "Stockholders’ Equity / Members' Deficit and Noncontrolling Interests" (the "Series A Penny Warrants"), and (iv) warrants issued on August 8, 2024, August 14, 2024, and March 21, 2025 in connection with the August 2024 and March 2025 Series B Preferred Stock offerings and the March 2025 note conversion as described within Note 24 "Stockholders' Equity/Members' Deficit and Noncontrolling Interests" (the "Series B Penny Warrants," together with the Series A Penny Warrants, the "Penny Warrants," and together with the Public Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Series A Penny Warrants, the "Warrants").
The Company determines the accounting classification of the Warrants as either liability or equity by first assessing whether the Warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). Under ASC 480, a financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation, or a financial instrument other than an outstanding share that embodies a conditional obligation, that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares must be classified as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on any one of the following: (a) a fixed monetary amount known at inception; (b) variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares; or (c) variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares. The Company determined that the Warrants should not be classified as liabilities under ASC 480.
If financial instruments, such as the Warrants, are not required to be classified as liabilities under ASC 480, the Company assesses whether such instruments are indexed to the Company's own stock under ASC 815-40. For an instrument to be considered indexed to an entity's own stock, its settlement amount must always equal the difference between the following: (a) the fair value of a fixed number of the Company's equity shares, and (b) a fixed monetary amount or a fixed amount of a debt instrument issued by the Company. As there are scenarios where the settlement amount would not equal the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of shares and a fixed monetary amount (or a fixed amount of a debt instrument), the Company determined that the Series A Penny Warrants, the Public Warrants, and the Private Placement Warrants were not indexed to the Company's own stock and therefore they must be classified as liabilities. The Company also determined that the Series A Penny Warrants, the Public Warrants, and the Private Placement Warrants met all criteria to meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-83. For the Series B Penny Warrants, the Company determined that they were indexed to the Company's own stock and would be settled in shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at an explicit share limit. As such, The Company concluded that the Series B Penny Warrants must be classified as permanent equity, and that the Series B Penny Warrants are not subject to remeasurement at each reporting date.
The Company recorded the Series A Penny Warrants, the Public Warrants, and the Private Placement Warrants as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) at fair value, with subsequent changes in the fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (unaudited) at each reporting date.
Temporary Equity
The Company accounts for its common and preferred stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Common and preferred stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common and preferred stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (as defined within Note 24 "Stockholders’ Equity / Members' Deficit and Noncontrolling Interests") feature
69
Table of Contents
certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 25,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 54,737 shares of Series B Preferred Stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet at September 30, 2025.
(Gain) Loss on Aircraft Sales and Aircraft Held for Sale
The Company occasionally sells aircraft held for use from its fleet. The (gain) or loss from each transaction is recognized upon completion of the sale as a (gain) or loss on aircraft sales which is presented within the (gain) loss on aircraft sales and aircraft held for sale on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (unaudited).
The (gain) or loss on aircraft previously held for use as property and equipment and subsequently elected to actively market for sale is presented within the (gain) loss on aircraft sales and aircraft held for sale on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (unaudited). When a decision is made to actively market for sale, depreciation is discontinued, and aircraft held for sale is recorded at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to sell. We presented aircraft assets held for sale at the lower of their current carrying value or their fair market value less costs to sell. The fair values are based upon observable and unobservable inputs, including market trends and conditions. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the assets held for sale are subject to inherent uncertainty and could produce a wide range of outcomes which the Company will continue to monitor in future periods as new information becomes available. Prior to the ultimate sale of the assets, subsequent changes in the estimate of the fair value of the assets held for sale will be recorded as a (gain) or loss with a corresponding adjustment to the assets’ carrying value. Impairment is included within gain (loss) on aircraft sales and aircraft held for sale within the loss from operations on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Recently Issued/Adopted Accounting Standards
Refer to the sections titled "Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements" and “Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted” in Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included in this Report.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
In April 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for an “emerging growth company.” We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our audited financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
We have chosen to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company” we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of SOX, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items, such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. We may remain an “emerging growth company” until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenue equals or exceeds $1.235 billion, or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an “emerging growth company” prior to the end of such five-year period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the ordinary course of operating our business, we are exposed to market risks. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position or results of operations due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our principal market risks are related to interest rates and aircraft fuel costs. There have not been any material changes to the market risks described in Part II, Item 7A — “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on their evaluation, we concluded that, at the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except for the continuing remediation efforts previously reported in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
