Operational Transformation and Strategic Milestones

- Consolidation of fleet to Cessna Caravan aircraft, simplifying operations and improving cost efficiency.
- On Demand Charter Business:
- Q4 On Demand revenue up 36% YoY, driven by larger aircraft, international flights, and BrokerOS software adoption.

2026 Financial Guidance and Outlook

- Q1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA Loss: \$15.5–13.5 million, reflecting ongoing investment in SurfOS and strategic initiatives.
- Full Year 2026 Revenue: \$128–138 million, representing a 20–30% YoY increase, with growth heavily weighted to the second half as SurfOS commercialization ramps up.
- Full Year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA Loss: \$50–40 million, reflecting significant investment in growth and technology, but expected quarterly improvements as margins and revenues improve.

Important Investor Considerations and Potential Price-Sensitive Developments
- Growth Pivot: Management signals an end to the reset phase and a pivot to growth, underpinned by operational improvements, technology investments, and strategic partnerships. Guidance for 20–30% revenue growth in 2026 is a bold signal of confidence in Surf Air’s platform strategy.
- SurfOS Commercialization: The go-to-market launch of SurfOS in 2026, including beta deployments, is a major catalyst; successful adoption could materially enhance revenue and profitability.
- BETA Technologies Partnership: The electric aircraft order and service center agreement position Surf Air as a potential first-mover in electric aviation, especially in Hawaii, and could attract market attention as milestones are met.
- Ongoing Losses and Cash Burn: Despite improvements, the company continues to post significant net and adjusted EBITDA losses, with cash balances decreasing year-over-year. Execution risk remains, especially if revenue growth or capital raising falls short.
- Balance Sheet Improvement: The reduction in net debt and conversion of convertible notes strengthens the company’s financial position but does not eliminate risk from ongoing deficits.
- Share Dilution: Significant increase in shares outstanding may impact per-share metrics and investor returns.
