JTAI Jet AI Inc

Jet.AI (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: JTAI), an innovative private aviation and artificial intelligence (“AI”) company, announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 and Recent Operational Highlights

• Revenues of $3.4 million in 3Q23 grew over 270% compared to the same period last year when excluding the benefit in 3Q22 from Fractional/Whole Aircraft Sales. Including Fractional/Whole Aircraft Sales, total 3Q23 revenues were down from $11.9 million in 3Q22 due to the absence of aircraft available for sale this year.
• Advanced discussions with Bombardier remain ongoing for the purchase of Challenger 3500 aircraft, intended to add to the company’s inventory of planes available for sale.
• Launched AI-powered charter booking platform, CharterGPT. CharterGPT is a cutting-edge technology that automates the manual process of booking a private jet through natural language processing. The app is available for download in both the iOS App Store and Android Store.
• Released commercial and private aviation carbon offset API, DynoFlight. DynoFlight enables aviation businesses to calculate, track, purchase and retire carbon removal credits that correspond to aircraft emissions.
• Partnered with the Vegas Golden Knights and Cirrus Aviation to provide fans the ultimate by-the-seat same day round trip experience for away games.
• De-SPACed Jet Token Inc. with Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: OXAC) to become a publicly traded company under the name Jet.AI Inc. (Nasdaq: JTAI, JTAIW, JTAIZ).
• Participated in several corporate and investor events, including the LD Micro Invitational XIII and LD Micro Main Event XVI, H.C. Wainwright 25th Annual Global Investment Conference, Maxim-led Emerging Growth in Artificial Intelligence Tech Conference Series, NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition, and Corporate Jet Investor Miami 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue unrelated to Fractional/Whole Aircraft Sales was $3.4 million, up $2.5 million or over 270% compared to $910,000 in the same period last year. Total revenue, including the benefit of Fractional/Whole Aircraft Sales, was $3.4 million compared to $11.9 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of aircraft available for fractional sale in 2023 compared with the successful fractionalization of the Company’s last two HondaJets during the third quarter of 2022, offset by additional service revenue of $775,000 arising from the Company entering into an agreement to manage a customer’s aircraft in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Software App and On-Fleet Charter revenue, which is comprised of brokerage revenues generated on third party aircraft via our CharterGPT app as well as direct charter revenue on our member owned aircraft, totaled $1.9 million, up 445%, compared to $342,000 in the same period last year. The additional revenue came from increased charter bookings made through the newly launched CharterGPT App in the third quarter of 2023.

Management and Other Services revenue, which is comprised of revenues generated from managing and chartering out customer aircraft, totaled $775,000 compared to $0 in the same period last year. The additional revenue came from the Company’s entering into an agreement to manage a customer’s aircraft in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Jet Card and Fractional Programs revenue, which is generated from the sale and use of jet cards and service revenue related to ongoing utilization by our fractional customers, totaled $732,000, up 29% when compared to $568,000 in the same period last year. The additional revenue came from increased sales and use of jet cards.

Cost of revenues totaled $3.2 million compared to $10.9 million in the same period last year. The decrease in cost of revenues was due to the absence of cost associated with Fractional/Whole Aircraft sales.

Gross profit totaled $170,000 compared to $1.0 million in the same period last year. Excluding profit from aircraft fractionalizations, gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 would have been a loss of $26,000.The remaining decrease was largely driven by greater utilization of the Company’s aircraft, offset by increased sub-charter costs relating to flights performed by third-party operators for certain of our jet card customers.

Operating expenses totaled $4.4 million compared to $3.0 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to an approximate $1.4 million rise in general and administrative expense associated with the professional service and insurance costs of the Business Combination.

Operating loss totaled $4.3 million compared to a loss of $2.0 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the decrease in gross profit of $833,000 and the increase in general and administrative expenses resulting from the increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense that resulted from the non-cash vesting of employee stock options as well as the increase in professional and insurance costs following the Business Combination.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $903,909 compared to $1,527,391 as of December 31, 2022.

Management Commentary

Jet.AI Executive Chairman Mike Winston said: “The third quarter saw the release of CharterGPT, the first AI charter broker, DynoFlight, the first carbon removal credit API for aviation, and the realization of triple digit revenue growth adjusted for the fact that we had no aircraft inventory left to sell. Talks are in an advanced stage with Bombardier to supply us with the award-winning Challenger 3500 super-midsize aircraft for our fractional sales pipeline. From here it’s about delivering on the balance of our software roadmap and building the fleet.”

“Based on numerous conversations with members of the trade at the NBAA trade show held in mid-October of this year, we now believe that our customers will adopt Reroute first before switching on other elements of our four-component operator platform. Reroute reconstitutes otherwise empty flights into new retail priced charter. With that in mind, we’re going to focus development resources on deepening the functionality of Reroute ahead of its release in December. The planned release of FlightClub and JetCardGPT are now expected to take place in the first quarter of 2024. We remain laser focused on rigorously balancing accretion and dilution as we look to deploy incremental capital at high rates of return both at the software level and into the fleet.”
