Insights

Surf Air Mobility's Q4 2024 results demonstrate encouraging financial progress within their multi-phase transformation strategy. The company reported $28.05 million in fourth quarter revenue, a 5% year-over-year increase that exceeded their guidance range of $25-28 million. More notably, Q4 saw a dramatic improvement in profitability metrics, with net income of $1.3 million (compared to a $111 million loss in Q4 2023) and adjusted EBITDA loss reduced by 63% to $6.9 million.

While the Q4 net income benefited substantially from a $38.9 million reversal of unearned compensation, the underlying operational improvements are evident in the EBITDA metrics. The company has systematically executed Phase 1 of its transformation plan by exiting unprofitable routes (saving $4.6 million annually), capturing $6.5 million in merger synergies, and securing critical financing with a $50 million term loan that extends debt maturity to 2028.

The forward guidance suggests continued focus on profitability over growth, projecting Q1 2025 revenue of $21-24 million with adjusted EBITDA loss of $12-15 million. For full-year 2025, management expects revenue to exceed $100 million with airline operations achieving profitability (positive adjusted EBITDA). The strategic pivot to focus on route profitability rather than expansion represents a disciplined approach to achieving sustainable operations.

The development of SurfOS and continued progress on aircraft electrification represent potential future value drivers, though these initiatives remain in early stages with uncertain financial impacts. The company's efforts to separately capitalize these ventures through partnerships could reduce cash burn while maintaining upside potential.

Surf Air's operational restructuring demonstrates a textbook approach to rehabilitating a regional air mobility business. The company's methodical route optimization - eliminating unprofitable segments while strategically leveraging increased FAA subsidy caps - shows sophisticated network planning. Their fleet rationalization strategy, removing inefficient aircraft while adding four new Cessna Caravans, should improve both operational reliability and unit economics.

The relocation of their System Operations Center to Dallas/Fort Worth is particularly significant as it places operational control in a major aviation hub with deeper talent pools. This move, combined with recruiting seasoned Part 135 executives, indicates a focus on operational excellence rather than just financial engineering.

The company's dual-track approach to innovation deserves attention. Their SurfOS platform addresses critical operational pain points in regional aviation - maintenance tracking, crew management, weight and balance calculations - while reducing call center traffic through self-service capabilities. Six beta customers suggests market validation beyond internal use. Meanwhile, their electrification efforts for the Cessna Caravan continue with a viable 2027 certification timeline and customer advisory board participation from Textron Aviation.

The bilateral agreement with Electra Aero to develop electric Short Take-Off and Landing (eSTOL) capabilities represents vertical integration potential, while MOUs for approximately 100 Cessna Caravan electric conversions indicates meaningful future retrofit demand if certification succeeds. The creation of separate ventures for electrification and software development is a prudent approach to segment capital requirements and risk profiles while preserving upside.

While Q1 2025 guidance reflects temporary capacity constraints due to maintenance investments, the projected return to airline profitability in 2025 appears achievable based on the operational levers being deployed.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE: SRFM) (the “Company”), a leading regional air mobility platform, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

“During 2024, we designed and implemented a four phase Transformation Plan, a strategic plan to achieve profitable growth. We will measure our success based on our execution of our Transformation Plan. The first phase, Transformation, has been completed. The entire organization is now laser focused on the Optimization phase with the goal of reaching profitability in our airline operations in 2025,” said Deanna White, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Surf Air Mobility.

She continued, “The financial results for the fourth quarter and full year reflect strong and deliberate execution against our plan. During 2024, we successfully captured synergies from our merger with Southern Airways, drove efficiencies across our organization, began exiting unprofitable routes, and reduced our general and administrative costs. During the fourth quarter, we secured a $50 million Term Loan to address near term liquidity constraints, lower our cost of capital, minimize potential dilution and reposition the company for profitable growth.”

Key Developments and Progress Against the Transformation Plan

During 2024, the Company made significant progress against its Transformation Plan.

Phase 1 – Transformation (2024)

The first phase of the Transformation Plan was completed. The Company:

  • Secured a new $50M term loan from Comvest Partners
  • Extended the maturity of the Company’s secured debt to December 2028
  • Reduced liabilities by over $42 million, exceeding targeted reduction of over 50% of $70 million of past liabilities
  • Announced our intent to reduce the potential dilution from share subscription facility by 90%
  • Appointed Deanna White as CEO and COO and Oliver Reeves as CFO, and Louis Saint-Cyr as COO and President of Hawaii Operations
  • Captured M&A synergies totaling $6.5 million

Phase 2 – Optimization (2025-2026)

The Company laid the foundation for, and began executing against, the second phase of its plan, Optimization. The Company:

Optimization of Airline Operations

  • Exited unprofitable routes, saving $4.6 million per year
  • Optimized flight schedules to align with fleet strategy and improve reliability metrics
  • Leveraged the increased subsidy cap per passenger available under the FAA Reauthorization Act to improve the economics of routes
  • Executed components of our re-fleeting plan, including the removal of inefficient and costly aircraft types, and accepted delivery of four new Cessna Caravan aircraft

Recalibrating On Demand Business

  • Completed the incorporation of the SurfOS broker module laying the foundation to optimally recalibrate the business, reduced the On Demand sales team by 50%
  • Rationalized products with a focus on profitability

Driving Efficiencies from SurfOS

  • Announced the intention to form Surf Air Technologies to create a category-defining operating system for the regional air mobility industry powered by Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR)
  • Released a new consumer iOS application to improve Surf On Demand’s charter booking and flight management experience
  • Launched direct integrations with charter supply partners including Fly Easy and Avinode which allow for improved real-time pricing and aircraft availability

  • Launched direct integrations with CAMP and Veryon software to streamline airline maintenance processes
  • Created financial and operational business intelligence dashboards

Phase 4 – Acceleration (2027+)

The Company’s electrification project spans multiple years. During 2024, the Company continued executing against the fourth phase of its plan, Acceleration. The Company:

  • Engaged with the FAA on certification planning to complete the Cessna Caravan Supplemental Type Certificate (“STC”) in 2027, which remains on track
  • Established a Cessna electrification Customer Advisory Board comprised of representatives from Textron Aviation and key electrification customers from four continents
  • Signed MOUs with seven customers to upgrade approximately 100 Cessna Caravan aircraft once the STC is approved
  • Entered into a bilateral agreement with Electra Aero to bring eSTOL to the market, incorporate Surf Air technology into joint systems and create a leasing partnership

Current Developments

In 2025, the Company continued its efforts to execute against its Transformation Plan.

Phase 2 – Optimization (2025-2026)

In 2025, the Company’s focus shifted to executing against the second phase of its plan, Optimization. Progress to date includes:

Optimization of Airline Operations

  • Relocating the Company’s System Operations Center (SOC) to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, one of the most prominent aviation hubs in the United States
  • Executing on our re-fleeting strategy by returning five older aircraft to their lessors
  • Recruiting seasoned aviation executives to manage Part 135 flight operations

Recalibrating On Demand Business

  • Exited several charter products to focus on profitability rather than near-term market penetration

Driving Efficiencies from SurfOS, an AI-enabled software platform for the regional air mobility industry, developed with Palantir

  • Entered into agreements with six beta users of SurfOS
  • Designed white label apps and frontend websites for certain beta customers to improve direct to consumer distribution

Financial Outlook

First Quarter 2025

  • First quarter revenue in the range of $21 million to $24 million. These expectations reflect the exiting of unprofitable scheduled routes and a focus on profitability of the On Demand business.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $12 million to $15 million, which excludes the expected impact of stock-based compensation, changes in fair value of financial instruments, and other non-recurring items. The Adjusted EBITDA loss range for the first quarter reflects the deployment of capital raised in November towards clearing the aircraft maintenance backlog and addressing certain interior and corrosion items which impacted aircraft availability in the quarter.

Full Year 2025

The Company is implementing the Optimization phase of the Transformation Plan, which includes the optimization of its airline operations, the recalibration of its on-demand business, and efforts to drive efficiencies through the implementation of the SurfOS operating system. As previously disclosed, the Company has begun exiting unprofitable scheduled routes and is prioritizing profitability over revenue growth.

As a result, the Company reaffirms its expectations that 2025 revenues will exceed $100 million and that Airline operations will achieve profitability, defined as positive adjusted EBITDA, in 2025.

Finally, as previously announced, the company is actively pursuing the creation of one or more joint ventures or partnerships with key vendors to separately capitalize the company’s electrification efforts and its software venture, Surf Air Technologies, that will capitalize on our exclusive agreement with Palantir to power SurfOS, the operating system for regional air mobility.

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. Pro Forma 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. Pro Forma 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 Pro Forma 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 performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing its ongoing results of operations. Unaudited pro forma financial information for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, assumes the acquisition of Southern Airways closed as of the beginning of 2023.
