Management Commentary

“In 2025, GlobalX delivered transformative results, with EBITDA more than quadrupling over 2024 on the back of record asset utilization, our first-ever annual positive operating profit, and record operating cash flow”, said Chris Jamroz, Executive Chairman of the Board of GlobalX. “These achievements came despite material delays in aircraft deliveries and significant headwinds from the continually depressed trough in cargo markets, which created a material drag on our earnings. This past year was focused on building a strong foundation for continued scalable growth over the next five years — through enhanced process engineering, top-tiering our leadership ranks, and reorganizing key functional areas with special emphasis on maintenance and operations. We remain firmly on track to achieve the sustained profitability objectives set forth in our three-year plan at the outset of 2024, with 2026 marking a key milestone. GlobalX continues to execute a disciplined turnaround strategy to capitalize on the structural narrow-body shortage, which we forecast will persist through the end of the decade and into the 2030s, driving persistent demand-supply dislocation that favors agile operators with available mid-life assets.”

Ryan Goepel, President and CFO of GlobalX, added, “The comprehensive work we completed in 2025 to drive efficiencies across the business and improve aircraft utilization resulted in our first full year with a positive operating income. Our relentless focus on cash resulted in a 247% increase year-over-year in cash flow from operations for 2025, ending the year with $20.5 million of cash and restricted cash. We are experiencing robust forward bookings across both our charter and ACMI operations, and are confident we can continue our multi-year track record of revenue and operating income growth. With one additional aircraft entering service in the first quarter of 2026 and executed letters of intent to lease two additional aircraft already in place, we are positioned to grow our passenger fleet in 2026. We believe the strategic investments we made in our team, systems, and processes throughout the past year have created the operational infrastructure necessary to support this next phase of growth.”

Q4 2025 Financial Highlights (vs. Q4 2024) – Three Month Period

Revenue: Revenue increased to $60.3 million compared to $59.9 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher block hours flown, increased utilization per available aircraft and greater revenue per block hour flown for ACMI.
Total Operating Expenses: Operating expenses increased 4% to $58.9 million compared to $56.5 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher maintenance and personnel costs associated with the ongoing expansion of the GlobalX fleet.
Net Loss/EPS: Net loss increased to $1.9 million compared to $0.6 million. Loss per share increased to $(0.03) per basic and diluted share, compared to $(0.01) per basic and diluted share.
EBITDAR¹: EBITDAR decreased to $19.0 million compared to $19.4 million.
EBITDA¹: EBITDA increased to $5.3 million compared to $5.2 million.
Cash Flows from Operations: Cash flows provided by operations improved 80% to $18.6 million compared to $10.3 million.

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 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

EBITDA is defined as operating income (loss), plus depreciation, amortization, interest and taxes, and is a supplemental measure of operating performance that the Company believes is useful to facilitate comparisons to its historical consolidated and business-level performance and operating results. The Company believes its presentation of EBITDA, a key metric used internally by management, provides investors with a supplemental view of the Company’s operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of its ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance.

EBITDAR is defined as operating income (loss), plus depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes and aircraft rent, and is a metric to be considered by investors to compare results across different airlines, which aims to normalize the different ways that the airlines acquired their aircraft. This distinction is important when comparing the operational results of an airline leasing its aircraft versus an airline purchasing its aircraft. Specifically, the airline leasing aircraft would see the costs relating to those aircraft flow through aircraft rent, while an airline that owns their aircraft would see their costs for those aircraft flow through depreciation and amortization.

Except as required by applicable securities laws, the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements. If GlobalX does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that it will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
