Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Surf Air Mobility reported first quarter 2026 revenue of $25.6 million, at the high end of guidance and up 9% year over year. Net loss widened slightly to $20.3 million, while Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $12.3 million, better than guidance.

The company raised full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance to a narrower range of $30 million to $25 million, an improvement of about 40% from the prior outlook, while keeping revenue guidance of $128 million to $138 million, or 20% to 30% growth over 2025.

On Demand private charter revenue rose 77% year over year to $10.1 million with higher margins, supported by its BrokerOS and Powered by Surf On Demand programs. The company also announced a strategic partnership with BETA Technologies for up to 100 all‑electric aircraft and completed a $30 million capital raise to support SurfOS deployment and electrification initiatives.

Positive

  • 2026 profitability outlook improved: Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance was tightened to a narrower $30 million to $25 million range, an improvement of about 40% from the prior $50 million to $40 million outlook while maintaining revenue growth expectations.
  • Strong growth in private charter segment: Surf On Demand private charter revenue rose 77% year over year to $10.1 million, delivering the highest revenue quarter and improved gross margin by about 340 basis points compared with the prior year period.
  • Capital infusion and insider participation: In April 2026 the company raised $30 million, including $15 million from a non-dilutive aircraft-backed facility and $15 million from an equity offering, with executives and directors collectively purchasing about $5.3 million of common stock.
  • Strategic electrification partnership: The company entered a partnership with BETA Technologies that includes a firm order for 25 all‑electric ALIA aircraft and options for up to 75 more, while removing up to $100 million in planned capital spending from its prior electrification program.

Negative

  • Ongoing losses and leverage: Q1 2026 net loss was $20.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA remained negative at $12.3 million. Total liabilities were $177.4 million against total assets of $120.8 million, resulting in a shareholders’ deficit and highlighting a leveraged balance sheet.
  • Reduced cash balance: Cash declined to $4.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $12.7 million at year-end 2025, underscoring reliance on external financing, including the subsequent $30 million capital raise, to support operations and growth initiatives.

Insights

Q1 beats guidance, outlook and capital position improve but losses remain.

Surf Air Mobility delivered Q1 2026 revenue of $25.6M, up 9% year over year and at the top of guidance, while reducing Adjusted EBITDA loss to $12.3M, better than its guided loss range. On Demand charter revenue grew 77%, showing strong traction in higher-margin private charter.

The company tightened its 2026 Adjusted EBITDA loss outlook to $30M–$25M, about a 40% improvement from prior guidance, with revenue still expected at $128M–$138M or 20%–30% growth over 2025. This shift relies on efficiency gains from SurfOS, cost controls, and mix toward profitable charter operations.

Liquidity remains a key factor: cash was $4.2M at March 31, 2026, but the company subsequently raised $30M, split between a non-dilutive aircraft-backed credit facility and an equity offering that included about $5.3M in insider purchases. Subsequent earnings and cash flow in Q2 2026 and the second half of 2026 will further clarify the sustainability of the improved guidance and investment in electrification and software.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"First Quarter Adjusted EBITDA Loss of $12.3 Million vs. Guidance Range of $15.5 Million to $13.5 Million Loss"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
ARGUS Certified Charter Broker financial
"ARGUS Certified Charter Broker accreditation was achieved in March 2026."
An Argus Certified Charter Broker is a professional who has completed a safety and ethics certification from Argus, a well-known aviation-audit organization, showing they follow industry standards when arranging private or corporate aircraft charters. For investors, this certification signals lower operational and reputational risk—like hiring a broker with verified references—so contracts and partnerships tied to charter services are more likely to be reliable and compliant with safety expectations.
Safety Management System regulatory
"completed the implementation of its Safety Management System (“SMS”) under 14 CFR Part 5"
A safety management system is an organized set of policies, procedures and tools a company uses to identify, reduce and monitor risks that could harm people, assets or operations. Like a home's smoke detectors, fire plan and routine checks working together, it helps prevent accidents, ensures regulatory compliance and limits costly shutdowns or lawsuits—factors that directly affect a company's costs, reputation and long-term value for investors.

"Redeemable Common Stock: Common Stock, $0.0001 par value; 3,510,638 and 0 shares issued"
SAFE notes financial
"SAFE notes at fair value, current | | | 3"
A SAFE (often called a “safe note”) is an agreement where an investor gives money now in exchange for the right to receive company shares later, typically when the company completes a priced funding round or is sold. For investors, SAFEs matter because they act like a voucher for future ownership—simpler and faster than buying shares today but carrying uncertainty about when conversion happens, the final ownership percentage and potential dilution, which affects returns and exit value.

First Quarter Revenue of $25.6 Million, At the High End of the Guidance Range of $24 Million to $26 Million

 

First Quarter Adjusted EBITDA Loss of $12.3 Million vs. Guidance Range of $15.5 Million to $13.5 Million Loss

 

Improved Annual 2026 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance by Approximately 40% While Maintaining 2026 Revenue Guidance

 

Surf On Demand Private Charter Business Achieved Highest Revenue and Highest Gross Margin Quarter Since Inception

 

Company Issues Second Quarter 2026 Guidance

 

Airline Operations Completed Safety Management System One Year Ahead of FAA Mandate and Surf On Demand Private Charter Achieved ARGUS Certification

 

LOS ANGELES – May 11, 2026 – Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE: SRFM) ("Surf Air Mobility" or the "Company"), a leading air mobility platform, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided an update on operational progress across the Company’s airline, On Demand private charter, and technology businesses.

 

Deanna White, Chief Executive Officer of Surf Air Mobility, said: "We are pleased with our first quarter Adjusted EBITDA results, which exceeded our expectations. The progress we’ve made across our business have positioned us to improve our annual 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance by 40% while maintaining our full year revenue guidance. The efficiencies gained within our core businesses in the first quarter are a clear indication of the value that SurfOS and our partnership with Palantir delivers."

 

 


Exhibit 99.1

Q1 2026 Financial Results

 

Revenue

Total revenue of $25.6 million was at the high end of the Company’s guidance range of $24 million to $26 million, a 9% year-over-year increase
Scheduled service revenue of $15.5 million, a 13% year-over-year decrease reflecting the exiting of unprofitable routes
Surf On Demand private charter revenue of $10.1 million, a 77% year-over-year increase reflecting the success of the Powered by Surf On Demand program and efficiency gains from BrokerOS

 

Net Loss

Net loss was $20.3 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to Net loss of $18.5 million in the prior year period. Net loss for both periods included investment in R&D for technology initiatives, stock-based compensation, transaction costs and other non-recurring items. The year-over-year increase in net loss principally reflects continued strategic investment in SurfOS development and a larger non-cash change in fair value of financial instruments expense, partially offset by revenue growth.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.3 million, exceeding guidance of $15.5 million to $13.5 million loss. Adjusted EBITDA exceeded expectations driven by improved On Demand private charter margins, effective costs controls across our airline operations and the more rapid and cost-efficient development and deployment of SurfOS.
Improvement in Adjusted EBITDA loss over prior year period resulted from increased revenue and the broader internal adoption of SurfOS within airline operations

 

Q1 2026 Business Highlights

 

Airline Operations

Flew 65,376 passengers on 12,503 departures via Southern Airways and Mokulele Airlines sub-brands

Surf On Demand Private Charter

Q1 2026 was the highest revenue quarter since inception for the Surf On Demand private charter business, a 77% year-over-year increase, with March the highest revenue month since inception
Revenue per flight increased 38% driven by longer flights, defined as flights greater than 1,000 miles, increasing 149%, international departures increasing 87%, and flights on larger-cabin aircraft, defined as greater than 9 seat, increasing 49%, comparing Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025
Surf On Demand private charter gross margin improved approximately 340 basis points year-over-year for the comparable period
BrokerOS drove increased broker productivity in Q1 2026 versus Q1 2025, including:
32% more bookings for top brokers
57% faster quote-to-close
40% more payments processed on-platform
Powered by Surf On Demand program, which equips independent brokers with BrokerOS to sell under the Surf On Demand brand, ended Q1 2026 with six active independent brokers, growing the Company’s sales force without a proportionate increase in fixed costs.
ARGUS Certified Charter Broker accreditation was achieved in March 2026. Surf On Demand private charter is now one of only 16 ARGUS-certified brokerages globally, reinforcing the Company's safety and compliance standards.

 

SurfOS Software

BrokerOS generated revenue in Q1 2026 via a take rate across On Demand private charter bookings
AI-assisted development and Palantir's Foundry and AIP are reducing SurfOS development cycles and have accelerated deployment within the Company

Exhibit 99.1

Crew scheduling, aircraft dispatch, and maintenance digitalization supported improvements in productivity and reliability of airline operations

Expanded CRM capabilities of BrokerOS

 

Electrification

In March 2026, Surf Air Mobility announced a strategic partnership with BETA Technologies (“BETA”) that includes:
A firm order for 25 all-electric BETA ALIA aircraft, with options for up to 75 more
Designation as BETA's launch operator for commercial passenger electric passenger service
Surf Air Mobility plans to establish BETA factory-authorized service centers, with exclusivity in launch regions
The Company eliminated up to $100 million in planned capital expenditure from its Cessna Caravan powertrain electrification program, while maintaining the Company's position as a first mover in commercial electric aviation through the BETA partnership

 

Subsequent Events: Q2 2026 Developments

 

2026 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Improved by Approximately 40% While Maintaining 2026 Revenue Guidance

In April 2026, the Company revised its 2026 Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance to $30 million to $25 million, an improvement of approximately 40% from prior guidance of $50 million to $40 million

Exhibit 99.1

Revenue guidance remains $128 million to $138 million, representing 20% to 30% growth over full-year 2025
Four operational drivers are responsible for the improvement over previous guidance:
SurfOS digitalizing core airline and charter workflows, reducing costs by 6% and 15%, respectively
Corporate automation and procurement discipline, 32% reduction in staffing need, 17% in professional services
Increased profitable charter revenue through the capital-efficient Powered by Surf On Demand program
Reduced SurfOS development costs and accelerated deployment via AI and Palantir's platform

 

Airline Operations

In April, the Company completed the implementation of its Safety Management System (“SMS”) under 14 CFR Part 5 through its Southern Airways Express operating certificate, which governs vetting of all third-party operator partners used by Surf On Demand
Southern Airways Express is one of only nine Part 135 commuter operators to have completed an operational SMS, doing so a year ahead of the FAA's May 2027 mandate
The Company continues to invest in Mokulele Airlines with the opening of renovated lounges at Honolulu and Lanai airports and the delivery of two new Cessna Caravan aircraft
The Company intends to begin demonstration flights with BETA cargo aircraft in Hawaii beginning in June of this year

 

Surf On Demand Private Charter

As of April 2026, 29 independent brokers are enrolled in the Powered by Surf On Demand program, with hundreds of additional applicants in the queue
Additional exclusive wholesale agreement signed that expands exclusive aircraft supply by 67% and adds a new aircraft category
The Company anticipates that Surf On Demand will be the largest contributor to revenue growth in full-year 2026 with expanding gross margins

 

SurfOS Software


Exhibit 99.1

Since the quarter ended, the SurfOS team deployed new Palantir-powered tools, including:
A fuel optimization module that reconciles fuel uplift against vendor invoicing and provides flight-level visibility into fuel performance and cost across routes, aircraft, and crew
A crew reserve optimization module that automates reserve crew assignments for the Company’s airline operations, replacing a manual process that could result in overstaffing and coverage inefficiencies
Last week, the Company released additional go-to-market details for SurfOS, which can be found here

 

Capital Structure

In April 2026, the Company raised $30 million in new capital: $15 million through a non-dilutive, aircraft-backed credit facility and $15 million in a common equity offering
Co-Founders, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other directors backed the 2026 plan through the collective purchase of approximately $5.3 million of SRFM common stock in the offering
Proceeds are primarily intended to accelerate SurfOS implementation and fund electrification initiatives.

 

Second Quarter Financial Guidance

Second quarter revenue in the range of $27 million to $30 million. These expectations reflect both continued growth in On Demand private charter revenue and the impact of the prior year’s exit of unprofitable routes.
Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $10.5 million to $8.5 million, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, changes in fair value of financial instruments, and transaction and restructuring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance for the second quarter reflects the impact of significantly increased fuel costs, compounding weather-related cancellations in Hawaii, and the continued strategic investment in SurfOS development in advance of its broader commercial launch.

The Company is accelerating its path to profitability and anticipates Adjusted EBITDA loss to further narrow through the second half of 2026 absent unexpected macro or geopolitical headwinds.

Footnotes

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Surf Air Mobility uses Adjusted EBITDA to identify and target operational results which is beneficial to management and investors in evaluating operational effectiveness. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of Surf Air Mobility’s performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of Surf Air Mobility’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Surf Air Mobility’s calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures, if any, reported by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

 

Surf Air Mobility presents Adjusted EBITDA because it considers this measure to be an important supplemental measure of its performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of Surf Air Mobility’s


Exhibit 99.1

performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing its ongoing results of operations.
