“GlobalX has reached profitability in its fourth full quarter of operations, as we had projected at the beginning of 2022. Within one year of commencing operations, GlobalX operated seven (7) fully crewed aircraft during the quarter which resulted in a 77% increase in revenue compared to Q2 2022, an EBITDAR(1) of $5 million, EBITDA(1) of $1 million and positive net income of $163,631. Our reaching profitability is the direct result of the tremendous efforts of our 360 team members as we have expanded our charter operations throughout North and South America, as well as the Caribbean. We look forward to the addition of another A321 in Q4, as well as the planned completion of our cargo certification, subject to FAA and DOT approvals, and the entry into service of our first two A321 freighters,” said Ed Wegel, Chair and CEO of GlobalX.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

For the third quarter 2022, GlobalX reported a net profit of $163,631, or $0.002 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the third quarter 2022, adjusting for share based compensation expenses of $69,715, was $233,346, an adjusted net profit of $0.003 per diluted share.

Total operating revenues for the third quarter 2022 were $30.8 million, an 886% increase compared to the third quarter of 2021: our first operational quarter. This increase was driven by a full quarter of operations compared to Q3 2021 and an increase of the number of available aircraft from two to seven. In addition, GlobalX sold 3,951 block hours in Q3 representing an 85% increase over the number of block hours sold in Q2 2022.

Cost Performance

Total GAAP operating expense for the third quarter increased 258% compared to the third quarter 2021, to $29.9 million. These increases were primarily driven by additional aircraft and number of block hours operated.

Liquidity

GlobalX ended the quarter with $7.8 million in cash and restricted cash, an increase of $2.4 million from the end of Q2 2022. GlobalX also reported a $4.2 million reduction in the net cash used in operating activities.

Outlook

Guidance items provided in this release are based on Company’s current estimates and are not a guarantee of future performance. GlobalX reaffirms its prior guidance of over $90 million in annual revenue for 2022 as management believes the fourth quarter will build on Q3 results. Q4 will also see the expected launch of cargo operations with the delivery of our first two A321F aircraft in addition to two additional passenger aircraft, all subject to final DOT and FAA approvals.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

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