MIAMI, Oct. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Crossing Airlines Group, Inc. (JET: NEO; JET.B: NEO; JETMF: OTCQB) (the “Company” or “GlobalX”) today reported third quarter 2022 financial results.
“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.
