Charter growth offset declines in scheduled service: Surf On Demand departures rose 67% year over year, while scheduled-service revenue fell 20% as unprofitable routes were eliminated. Surf Air also reduced convertible debt principal by 64% through refinancing and secured a $21.6 million asset-backed loan to fund charter aircraft supply. Surf Air Mobility (NYSE:SRFM) reported second-quarter revenue at the high end of its guidance range as growth in private charter operations and early software commercialization helped offset pressure from fuel costs, weather disruptions and deliberate route reductions. Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $29.5 million, up 8% from the prior-year period and 15% from the first quarter, Chief Financial Officer Oliver Reeves said.

For the third quarter, the company projected revenue of $35.5 million to $37.5 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $4 million to $7 million. → 3 Dividend Champion Utilities for a Market That Can't Sit Still A key second-quarter development was the company’s first multiyear enterprise software agreement for SurfOS, its aviation operating software platform. Co-Founder Liam Fayed said Wheels Up will serve as the launch customer for Enterprise BrokerOS under an initial two-year agreement with an option for a third year. The contract could generate up to $12 million over its term. Fayed said Surf Air expects to collect about $2 million during 2026 and approximately $4 million in 2027, as Wheels Up is integrated onto the platform. → Take-Two’s Q1 Results Leave GTA 6 Bulls Stuck in the Fog of War Chairman Shawn Pelsinger said securing a multiyear, multimillion-dollar agreement with Wheels Up as SurfOS’ first enterprise customer supports management’s view that the software is ready for commercial use. He noted that Surf Air is pursuing a platform strategy spanning private aviation, software and electrification. Fayed said the company has an enterprise pipeline involving operators, brokerages and aircraft manufacturers that it believes could be worth tens of millions of dollars in annual revenue. Management is targeting at least one additional enterprise contract before year-end, though it did not identify which SurfOS product might be involved. The company expanded its partnership with Palantir during the quarter, adding engineering, business development and go-to-market resources. Fayed said Palantir personnel are involved in Surf Air’s enterprise sales discussions. During the quarter, Surf Air also deployed SurfOS features including crew reserve optimization, fuel tracking, AI-assisted charter pricing recommendations and AI charter supply sourcing. Management said OperatorOS and OwnerOS are planned for commercial launch in the fourth quarter. OEM OS remains in development, according to Fayed. Surf On Demand, the company’s private charter business, generated second-quarter revenue of $12.1 million, with departures increasing about 67% from a year earlier. Revenue per departure rose approximately 25%, which President of Surf On Demand Joshua Lowton attributed to a growing mix of larger aircraft and longer flights. Lowton said private charter revenue nearly doubled in the first half compared with the same period in 2025. Cargo, wholesale and the company’s Powered by Surf On Demand independent broker program accounted for about 14% of first-half revenue and were gross-margin positive. The Powered by Surf On Demand program has received more than 500 applications globally and has generated more than $2.5 million in revenue since launch, Lowton said. The company had onboarded 50 independent brokers by the end of the second quarter, halfway toward its target of 100 brokers by year-end. Management said it intends to improve charter margins by using additional working capital to secure aircraft inventory in advance at negotiated wholesale rates, rather than sourcing flights in the open market. It also expects increased use of BrokerOS, additional supply partnerships and further broker onboarding to support growth and profitability. Scheduled Service revenue totaled $17.4 million, down about 20% year over year. President of Airline Operations Louis Saint-Cyr said the decline was intentional, reflecting the company’s exit from routes that did not contribute to profitability. Mokulele Airlines revenue increased about 7% from the second quarter of 2025 and 15% sequentially. The Hawaii operation flew more than 10,000 departures during the quarter, a 3% increase from a year earlier, while Surf Air added two Cessna Caravans as part of its fleet-renewal program. Controllable completion factor was 98%. On-time arrivals were 88%. On-time departures were 83%. Saint-Cyr said fuel expense was approximately $500,000 above plan during the quarter, but savings from OperatorOS helped offset the increase. He said those technology-driven savings are structural rather than temporary. The company also completed deployment of its safety management system one year ahead of the Federal Aviation Administration’s mandate, according to management. Reeves said Surf Air refinanced its senior secured convertible note by splitting it into a new $17 million convertible note due in 2027 and a $30 million non-convertible senior secured term note due in 2028. The transaction reduced existing convertible-note principal by 64% and lowered monthly cash amortization payments by up to 50%, he said. The company also secured a $21.6 million asset-backed loan supported by new and existing aircraft. Proceeds are intended to provide working capital for charter supply agreements. Reeves said the loan is funded in two tranches, with a second $14 million funding expected during the month of the call. According to Reeves, Surf Air has reduced total debt by 50% over the past year while extending its maturity profile. Management expects adjusted EBITDA losses to continue narrowing in the fourth quarter and said the airline business should be a profitability bright spot in the second half of 2026.

Revenue for Q2 2026 came in at the high end of guidance at $29.5 million, up 8% year-over-year and 15% sequentially. Secured first multi-year SurfOS enterprise contract with Wheels Up, valued up to $12 million, validating the product and market readiness.

Expanded partnership with Palantir, adding engineering and go-to-market resources to accelerate SurfOS commercialization and enterprise sales. Deployed safety management system a year ahead of FAA schedule, enhancing operational reliability and compliance. Improved full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA loss guidance by 40% while maintaining revenue growth target of 20-30%. Mokulele Airlines revenue grew 7% year-over-year and 15% sequentially, with over 10,000 departures in Q2. Launched BETA Technologies electric aircraft demonstration flights in Hawaii, positioning the company for future electrification. SurfOS features like AI charter price recommendations and crew reserve optimization went live, driving operational savings and product enhancements. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA loss was $10.5 million in Q2, still negative and within guidance range. Scheduled service revenue declined 20% year-over-year due to deliberate route exits, impacting top-line growth. Fuel prices were elevated and unexpected weather in Hawaii caused unplanned cancellations, pressuring margins. Legacy commitments in Surf On Demand continue to drag gross margins, though decreasing quarterly. Company is not yet profitable and faces ongoing cash burn, with free cash flow conversion expected to improve only sequentially. NYSE listing compliance at risk due to minimum share price deficiency, with potential reverse stock split as a mitigant. Dependence on Palantir partnership for go-to-market resources may create execution risk if partnership dynamics change. SurfOS enterprise pipeline conversion is uncertain, with only one contract signed and target of at least one more by year-end. High maintenance and CapEx cycle has pressured cash flow, though expected to ease in second half. Revenue guidance for Q3 implies a significant sequential jump, which may be challenging to achieve given macro headwinds. Q: Can you break down the second-half revenue guidance by segment and what the gross margin profile looks like as you exit the year?A: Oliver Reeves (CFO) explained that scheduled service revenue declines will slow as route exits taper off, On Demand will continue its current growth trajectory, and SurfOS will begin contributing initial revenue in Q3 and Q4. He expects the scheduled airline to be a "bright spot" for profitability in the second half, driven by structural cost savings from OperatorOS. SurfOS revenue will carry significantly higher margins, flowing through in Q4, while corporate costs should decline due to ongoing cost controls. Q: When does the Wheels Up contract start, and how has the enterprise pipeline evolved since announcing that deal?A: Liam Fayed (Co-Founder) stated the company is in the advanced stages of integrating Wheels Up onto BrokerOS, expecting to collect approximately $2 million in revenue this year and $4 million annually starting January 1, 2027. Since the announcement, the pipeline has expanded significantly across brokers, operators, and OEM manufacturers, with the Wheels Up win providing credibility and market validation that is accelerating conversations. Q: How close are we to major partnerships, and can you provide more detail on the enterprise pipeline?A: Liam Fayed (Co-Founder) noted the company has an active enterprise pipeline across brokers, Part 135 operators, fleet management companies, and both legacy and next-gen electric OEMs, which he believes could be worth tens of millions of dollars annually. The company is targeting at least one additional enterprise contract before year-end, leveraging existing relationships and Palantir's go-to-market resources. He also mentioned active work converting LOIs into paying contracts. Q: What is the strategy to regain NYSE compliance, and how does the recent debt financing affect future shareholder dilution?A: Oliver Reeves (CFO) explained the company received a deficiency notice on July 24, 2026, and has six months to cure the minimum share price deficiency. Management intends to cure it organically through execution of the transformation plan, but has also received shareholder approval for a reverse stock split as a risk mitigant, which is not yet implemented. The recent financing reduced dilution by bifurcating the convertible note, reducing convertible principal by 64%, lowering cash amortization by up to 50%, and securing a non-convertible term note that doesn't amortize or accrue interest until January 2027. Q: Will Palantir and Surf Air team up to use SurfOS for air traffic management?A: Liam Fayed (Co-Founder) said the technology is revealing broader use cases beyond the announced product set. SurfOS brings together data across the Part 135 aviation ecosystem, and when properly connected, has broad applications across many segments. While there is nothing to announce today, the company is actively pursuing opportunities and exploring other ways to leverage SurfOS technology. Q: Will OwnerOS or OEMOS secure a signed paying external customer by December 31, 2026?A: Liam Fayed (Co-Founder) reaffirmed the timeline: BrokerOS is commercially launched, OperatorOS and OwnerOS are scheduled for commercial launch in Q4, and OEMOS is in development. The BETA demonstration flights in Hawaii are serving as the test case for OEMOS, with data being collected from the aircraft. The company is targeting at least one additional enterprise contract by year-end and is in active conversations with aircraft management companies, fleet operators, lease cos, and OEMs. Q: Is the second quarter OpEx a good run rate for the third quarter, or will it grow with the Palantir expansion?A: Oliver Reeves (CFO) indicated Q2 OpEx is a good run rate, noting the company is coming out of a major investment push for SurfOS development. Despite launching three products, costs are not expected to increase commensurately with the number of products, so the current base should be a good starting point for modeling operating expenses. Q: Can you provide more detail on the strategy to improve margins in the charter business, particularly regarding broker onboarding and wholesale relationships?A: Joshua Lowton (President, Surf On Demand) confirmed the company intends to continue scaling the Powered by Surf On Demand program, balancing quality with growth. Wholesale and supply relationships remain equally important, as ensuring brokers have excellent supply is critical for continued growth. The company is expanding preferred wholesale partnerships and using additional working capital to secure aircraft inventory in advance at negotiated rates, producing direct margin improvements. Q: Is the fuel situation easing, or is the expected airline profitability improvement driven by SurfOS efficiencies?A: Louis Saint-Cyr (President, Airline Operations) attributed the improvement primarily to permanent, structural efficiencies from SurfOS that are embedded in the operation. These changes allow the airline to better absorb fuel price volatility. He noted the team will continue pushing digitization and expanding SurfOS implementation to make the airline more efficient and resilient. Q: How are you thinking about the potential scale of cargo, wholesale, and other new revenue streams?A: Joshua Lowton (President, Surf On Demand) expects wholesale to grow as more supply partnerships are delivered, and cargo to continue growing despite being a relatively new division (less than a year old). The Powered by Surf On Demand program is also expected to scale. These three newer business lines contributed approximately 14% of revenue in the first half of 2026, all gross margin positive, and are expected to continue growing.

Management transitioned the company into the 'expansion phase' of its transformation plan after completing foundational work in cost control, fleet modernization, and balance sheet restructuring. The second quarter results were achieved despite a volatile fuel environment and extreme weather disruptions in Hawaii, which management cites as proof of the durability of their technology-driven operations. The airline's revenue decrease of 20% year-over-year was a deliberate strategic choice to exit unprofitable routes and prioritize the bottom line over top-line volume. Management attributes operational savings that offset $0.5 million in fuel headwinds directly to the structural efficiencies generated by the deployment of OperatorOS. The partnership with Palantir was significantly expanded to include business development and commercial go-to-market resources, directly integrating their expertise into the enterprise sales process. Surf On Demand's record revenue was driven by a strategic shift toward larger aircraft categories and longer flights, increasing the average revenue per departure by approximately 25%. The company successfully reduced its convertible note principal by 64% to lower cash amortization payments and improve the overall liquidity position. Management reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance, expecting adjusted EBITDA loss to narrow further in the fourth quarter as the airline becomes a primary driver of profitability. The company targets signing at least one additional enterprise software contract before year-end, leveraging a pipeline management estimates could be worth tens of millions in annual revenue. Strategic priorities for the second half of 2026 include commercializing the full flagship product suite, with OperatorOS and OwnerOS planned for launch in the fourth quarter. Margin expansion in the charter business is expected to be driven by leveraging new working capital to secure wholesale aircraft inventory in advance rather than sourcing on the open market.

The Wheels Up contract represents a landmark $12 million enterprise deal that validates the BrokerOS product for large-scale industry players. The company completed its safety management system (SMS) deployment one year ahead of the FAA mandate, positioning it as one of only nine Part 135 commuter operators with an operational SMS. A new $21.6 million asset-backed loan was secured to fund incremental working capital specifically for expanding wholesale supply relationships. Management acknowledged a 'minimum share price deficiency' from the NYSE and has authorized a potential reverse stock split as a risk mitigant to maintain listing compliance. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Management intends to continue scaling the 'Powered by Surf On Demand' program while balancing quality, having already onboarded 50 of the 100 targeted independent brokers. Expanding wholesale supply relationships is considered equally critical to ensure brokers have competitive pricing to pass on to customers. The Wheels Up integration is currently underway, with $2 million in revenue expected this year and the full $4 million annual run rate starting January 1, 2027. The announcement has acted as a catalyst, driving incremental interest from aircraft management companies, leasecos, and OEMs. Management expects second-quarter OpEx to be a stable run rate for the third quarter, as they are coming out of a heavy investment cycle for SurfOS development. Operating leverage is expected to improve as the company launches three products without a commensurate increase in development costs. The airline segment is expected to be a 'bright spot' for profitability in H2 due to cost actions and route rationalization. SurfOS revenue is expected to start trickling in during Q3 and Q4 at significantly higher margins, contributing to the narrowing of EBITDA losses.

Mokulele Airlines revenue increased approximately 7% year-over-year and approximately 15% compared to the first quarter of 2026, with more than 10,000 departures in the quarter, a 3% year-over-year increase. Took delivery of two new Cessna Caravan aircraft, positioning the Company's newest aircraft on high value routes. Productivity gains from OperatorOS offset much of the revenue impact of route rationalization and the cost impact of increased fuel prices. The fuel optimization module now reconciles fuel records against vendor invoicing and tracks actual burn against plan, while the crew reserve module calculates demand-adjusted reserve requirements by base, and the Company expects these improvements to persist into the future. Completed implementation of the Company's Safety Management System ("SMS") one year ahead of the FAA's mandate. Southern Airways Express is one of only nine Part 135 commuter operators in the country with an operational SMS. Surf On Demand Private Charter Second quarter of 2026 was the highest revenue and highest flight volume quarter since inception for the Surf On Demand private charter business. Private charter revenue increased 101% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, and nearly doubled in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Revenue per flight increased 25% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting continued mix shift toward larger aircraft categories and longer flights. Powered by Surf On Demand, the Company's independent broker program, has attracted more than 500 applications from around the world since launch and continues to onboard experienced charter professionals each month. The program has generated more than $2.5 million in revenue since launch and is gross margin positive. New revenue lines, including Cargo, Wholesale, and Powered by Surf On Demand, contributed approximately 14% of On Demand private charter revenue in the first half of 2026, all of which is gross margin positive. Added an additional preferred wholesale partner with capacity utilization at 100%. Electrification In June 2026, BETA Technologies began landmark electric aircraft cargo demonstration flights across the Hawaiian Islands using the ALIA CTOL aircraft, with Hawaiian Airlines’ support. Surf Air Mobility intends to be the first Part 135 operator to commercialize electric passenger flights for scheduled service and plans to establish a factory-authorized service center for BETA aircraft in Hawaii. Corporate Announced the election of Shawn Pelsinger as Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective July 24, 2026, following Carl Albert's transition to Chairman Emeritus. Financing Transactions In July 2026, the Company announced two financing transactions designed to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce future shareholder dilution. The Company refinanced its existing senior secured convertible note, bifurcating the principal into a new $17 million convertible note due 2027 and a new $30 million non-convertible senior secured term note due 2028. The Company reduced its existing convertible note principal by 64% and lowered monthly cash amortization payments by up to 50%. The new $30 million term note is non-convertible and does not amortize or accrue interest until January 2027. The Company entered into a new $21.6 million asset-backed loan secured against new and existing aircraft. The loan funded in two tranches, and the Company expects a second funding of $14 million to occur in August 2026. The Company has reduced total debt by approximately 50% over the last year and extended its debt maturities. Oliver Reeves, Chief Financial Officer of Surf Air Mobility, said: "The combination of our operating improvements and reduced amortization allows us to approach our go-forward capital needs from a position of strength. As we exit a heavier capital expenditure cycle, we expect free cash flow conversion to improve." Financial Outlook Surf Air Mobility is providing the following financial guidance for the third quarter and reaffirming its guidance for the full year 2026: Third Quarter 2026 Revenue in the range of $35.5 million to $37.5 million. These expectations reflect continued growth in On Demand private charter revenue and the seasonal strength of scheduled service operations. Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $7 million to $4 million, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, changes in fair value of financial instruments, and transaction and restructuring expenses. Full Year 2026 Revenue in the range of $128 million to $138 million, representing a 20% to 30% increase compared to 2025. Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $30 million to $25 million, an approximate 40% improvement from prior guidance of a $50 million to 40 million loss. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA loss to narrow further in the fourth quarter of 2026. For the second half of 2026, the Company expects its airline operations to be the most profitable area of its business, reflecting the investments made in fleet modernization and the operational efficiencies enabled by OperatorOS.

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. 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. 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 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.

These forward-looking statements may be preceded by words such as "we expect," "we believe," or "we anticipate." These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from the views expressed today.
Some of these risks are set forth in our earnings release and in our periodic reports filed with the SEC. We will also present both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Additional disclosures regarding non-GAAP measures, including a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP, are included in our earnings release posted on our investor relations website and in our SEC filings. I will now turn the call over to Deanna White.
Good afternoon, everyone. The second quarter of 2026 was strong. Revenue came in at the high end of our guidance range at $29.5 million, and our adjusted EBITDA loss was within our range at $10.5 million. In April, we announced an improvement to our full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA loss guidance of approximately 40% compared to what we had previously announced while maintaining our revenue growth target of 20%-30% over the prior year. To achieve this, we put specific cost controls and strategies in place across our businesses, and we believe these changes have resulted in permanent improvements. What makes me most confident about our results is the environment we delivered them in. Over the last several months, the aviation industry experienced one of the most volatile periods of fuel prices.
In our case, we also managed through a month of unexpected heavy thunderstorms and flash flooding, uncommon in Hawaii, affecting our Mokulele operations. Achieving both our revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets under those conditions speaks to the durability of our operations and the technology we have built. Beyond the financial results, the second quarter produced a series of milestones. We won our first multi-year SurfOS enterprise contract. We doubled on-demand private charter revenue in the second quarter compared to the prior year period. We reduced our existing convertible note principal by 64% and lowered monthly cash amortization payments by up to 50%. We significantly expanded our partnership with Palantir, adding both engineering and business development resources to accelerate the commercialization of SurfOS. We partnered with BETA Technologies on landmark demonstration flights of electric aircraft in Hawaii with support from Hawaiian Airlines.
We deployed our safety management system a year ahead of the FAA schedule. For the last year and a half, the first phases of our transformation plan focused on completing foundational work, building SurfOS, lowering our cost structure, rationalizing the route network, modernizing the fleet, and restructuring our balance sheet. Though there will always be more to do, the work is now largely behind us. We believe the company is in a place for us to pursue revenue growth and profitability at the same time. This comes with a major shift in our strategic priorities as we now move into the expansion phase of our transformation plan, which runs now through 2027. Each of our leaders will take you through their second quarter results and key achievements and then explain in more detail their second half of 2026 priorities.
Before that, I will turn it over to our newly appointed Chairman of the Board, Shawn Pelsinger.
Hi, all. For those who I haven't met, I'm Shawn Pelsinger. I've served on Surf Air Mobility's Board since October 2025, and last month I was honored to be elected Chairman. Firstly, many thanks to Carl Albert for his leadership over the years and for his continued partnership as Chairman Emeritus. During my decade at Palantir, where I served as Global Head of Corporate Development, I've seen firsthand what the right software can do to accelerate an industry in transition. Air mobility is at that moment right now, and I believe Surf Air Mobility is perfectly positioned for the opportunity.
Very few companies sit at the intersection of so many converging growth sectors, private aviation, AI-enabled software, and electrification. As I said in my shareholder letter last week, our transformation plan was designed to get our house in order first, so we could then go after the big opportunity of creating a platform business that would capture value across the industry. The team has been successful in the first two phases of that plan. We have reduced debt significantly, improved profitability in our Air Mobility business, and secured our first multi-million dollar SurfOS software contract. Winning Wheels Up as our first enterprise software customer, worth up to $12 million over the contract term, is not a typical first deal. Early enterprise contracts are usually short-term and modest in value.
Landing a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract with one of the largest, most recognized names in private aviation as our first customer tells us the product is working and the market is ready. We have barely scratched the surface. With that, I will turn it over to Liam to talk about our SurfOS business.
Thanks, Shawn. In the second quarter, SurfOS achieved a major milestone. As Shawn mentioned, we announced Wheels Up as the launch customer for Enterprise BrokerOS. It is an initial two-year term, plus an option for a third, and we expect to receive up to $12 million over that period. As we saw with our own business, BrokerOS will allow Wheels Up to replace multiple legacy software systems and improve their sales team's efficiency. Wheels Up is our launch customer for our first commercial product. We still have OperatorOS and OwnerOS to commercialize this year and continue to explore more ways to apply our SurfOS technology even more broadly. We have a current active enterprise pipeline of large operators, brokerages, and aircraft manufacturers that we believe could be worth tens of millions of dollars annually in revenue.
The second point to emphasize from the second quarter is our expanded partnership with Palantir that we announced in June. Following the success of Wheels Up enterprise contract, we substantially increased the size of our engineering team to move even faster. In addition, Palantir added business development and commercial go-to-market resources with deep experience in aviation, transportation, and logistics who are directly involved in our enterprise sales process. Through our exclusive agreement, their team is in every enterprise conversation, and when we are in meetings with prospective customers, we bring the support, credibility, and technology to close large deals. These commercial resources are what will turn our active pipeline into more signed agreements. We deployed SurfOS features at record pace. Crew reserve optimization, fuel tracking, AI charter price recommendations, and AI charter supply sourcing all went live in the second quarter.
The common theme across these features is that each is designed to find permanent efficiency gains inside our own organization that strengthens the product for external customers. We also had the honor of showcasing BrokerOS at Palantir's AIPCon in June, where we highlighted the intelligence features and AIP-powered tools embedded in our software. The second quarter proved that the software is needed, the market is ready, and it's evolving quickly. The next phase for SurfOS is building on the early success and turning SurfOS into a high-growth, profitable business. Here is what we are focused on for the second half of this year. First, we're working to convert our enterprise pipeline of large operators, brokerages, and aircraft manufacturers. Sales cycles for enterprise clients are typically longer, and we are targeting at least one additional enterprise contract before year-end.
Our pipeline is seeded by relationships we already have, including operators who fly for us, manufacturers we interface with on our aircraft, and brokers already transacting on our platform. This is yet another advantage of our having an operating business alongside our software. Second, we are leveraging Palantir's go-to-market resources, which bring enterprise sales and business development expertise we could not build internally on any reasonable timeline. Third, we are onboarding SMB customers whose sales cycles are considerably shorter and will add additional recurring revenue. In addition, every operator we add expands our three-sided marketplace because their aircraft supply connects into BrokerOS for our brokers to sell. Fourth, we are commercializing our flagship product suite this year. OperatorOS and OwnerOS are both planned to launch commercially in the fourth quarter, taking us from one product in-market today to three.
Fifth, we will continue deploying high ROI features faster, proving them in our own airline and charter business before selling them externally. AI-assisted development and the speed of Palantir's platform have compressed our deployment cycle significantly. The result of these efforts will be high margin, recurring revenue across a diversified software suite built by an engineering team deploying features at an accelerated pace. With a healthy customer pipeline, our partnership with Palantir, and the right team in place, we're excited to share more wins and updates as we commercialize SurfOS. I will now pass it to Louis, our President of Airline Operations.
Thank you, Liam. The Airline performed well this quarter, even with some macro trends working against us. Fuel prices were elevated, and Hawaii weather drove unplanned cancellations. Delivering the results we did under those conditions is evidence that the improvements we've made are permanent, and they make us more resilient to these sorts of changes in the future. Total Scheduled Service revenue was $17.4 million. That's down about 20% year-over-year. This revenue decrease was deliberate as we exited routes that don't contribute to our bottom line. Mokulele Airlines revenue was up about 7% compared to the same quarter in 2025, and up 15% over the first quarter of 2026. We flew more in Hawaii this quarter with over 10,000 departures, an increase of 3% compared to the second quarter of 2025.
Hawaii is the largest inter-island network by departures and airports served, and it is growing while the mainland is right-sizing. We also introduced two additional caravans into the fleet this quarter as part of our fleet renewal program. We are emphasizing our Hawaii operations because Hawaii will be the showcase and launchpad for electric flight. In June, BETA's ALIA aircraft began flying daily cargo demonstration routes across the islands. The infrastructure we have established and the community relationships we fostered in Hawaii over the years are exactly what makes it the right place to bring electric aircraft into commercial service. Turning to operational performance of our entire Scheduled Service, we continue to run a very reliable operation. Controllable completion factor ended the quarter at 98%. Our on-time arrivals ended the quarter at 88%, and on-time departures ended the quarter at 83%. That sustained performance is showing up in our customer satisfaction.
The reason our performance improved and has maintained is in part from the impact of OperatorOS. Let me put a number on that. Fuel came in approximately half a million dollars above plan this quarter. We offset this with operational savings generated directly by OperatorOS. This is not a one-quarter benefit. Those savings are structural. They are already embedded in how we run the operation, and they carry forward. The team executed exceptionally well to deliver this, and they deserve credit for it. Finally, on safety, we completed our safety management system one year ahead of the FAA's mandate. Southern is one of only nine Part 135 commuter operators in the country with an operational SMS. I will turn it over to Josh, President of Surf On Demand.
Thanks, Louis. Surf On Demand private charter delivered another exceptional quarter, achieving record revenue and record flight volume. We nearly doubled our private charter revenue through the first half of 2026 compared to the same period last year. In the second quarter alone, we generated $12.1 million in revenue, with departures increasing approximately 67% compared to the second quarter of 2025. Revenue per departure also increased approximately 25% compared to the second quarter of 2025, reflecting our continued expansion beyond a primarily turboprop-focused provider into a full-spectrum private charter solution, with larger aircraft becoming a greater mix of revenue. A few highlights. Our new revenue lines, cargo, wholesale, and Powered by Surf On Demand, contributed approximately 14% of revenue in the first half of 2026, all of which are gross margin positive. The revenue we have added this year, particularly in the second quarter, is profitable and growing quickly.
There is still some drag on our overall gross margins, and it is important to note that this comes from legacy commitments. This cohort of suboptimal margin products and memberships continues to decrease every quarter, and we are confident it does not represent a long-term margin issue. Our independent broker program, Powered by Surf On Demand, continues to gain momentum and remains a key driver of our growth. We have attracted more than 500 applications from around the world since launch and continue to onboard high-quality charter professionals each month who are committed to building long-term business on the platform. Since launch, the program has generated more than $2.5 million in revenue and is gross margin positive, showing that we can scale the platform profitably.
Several of our top-performing independent brokers have each generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue this year, demonstrating how BrokerOS enables experienced charter professionals to build meaningful business with us. As Surf On Demand scales, we are strengthening our supply partnerships so that margin expands in parallel with growth. We have added another preferred wholesale partner in the second quarter, which is already at 100% utilization. We have demonstrated that we can grow rapidly. Our next phase is converting that growth into sustainable profitability, and we have five primary levers that give us the confidence in that path. First, we are improving margin by better leveraging working capital. With more capital now available, we can secure aircraft inventory in advance at negotiated wholesale rates rather than sourcing trips on the open market. This produces a direct margin improvement on every flight.
We have proven that we can maximize our preferred wholesale partner inventory, and our additional working capital will allow us to pursue this more. Second, BrokerOS is making us more efficient. Real-time pricing, sourcing, and distribution tools help our brokers quote faster and serve more customers. The software helped us drive revenue growth in the first half of this year, and in the second half, it will help us improve margins. Third, we are increasing average revenue per flight through continued mix shift towards larger aircraft categories and longer flights. Customers are choosing Surf On Demand for more of their private aviation needs, which raises revenue per flight whilst we leverage the same platform and infrastructure. Revenue per departure has increased each quarter, and we expect that trend to continue. Fourth, we are adding independent charter brokers to the platform.
Every experienced broker we add grows more revenue with minimal incremental overhead, and the program is already gross margin positive. Fifth, we are expanding platform participation more broadly by partnering with additional operators and brokers. More operators mean more supply for our brokers to sell, and more brokers mean more demand for our operators to fill. Together, these five factors deliver revenue growth and margin expansion at the same time, a combination this business is now positioned to achieve after the recalibrations we have made as part of the transformation plan. I will now hand it over to Oliver to walk through our second quarter financials.
Thank you, Josh. For the second quarter of 2026, consolidated revenue was $29.5 million, at the high end of our guidance range of $27 million-$30 million. Up 8% compared to the second quarter 2025, and up 15% compared to the first quarter 2026. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA loss was $10.5 million, within our guidance range. Recently, we announced two financing transactions designed to strengthen our balance sheet and reduce future dilution. First, we refinanced our existing senior secured convertible note. The refinancing resulted in the bifurcation of the note's principal into two new instruments. A new $17 million convertible note due 2027, and a new $30 million non-convertible senior secured term note due 2028. As a result of this action, the company successfully reduced its existing convertible note principal by 64% and lowered monthly cash amortization payments by up to 50%.
In addition, the new $30 million term note is non-convertible and does not amortize or accrue interest until January 2027. Concurrently, we also entered into a new $21.6 million asset-backed loan secured against new and existing aircraft. Use of proceeds includes funding the incremental working capital needed to both expand existing wholesale supply relationships and secure additional wholesale supply agreements to improve our private charter margins, as Josh explained earlier. Please note that the asset-backed loan funds in two tranches. We expect a second funding of $14 million to occur this month, further strengthening our liquidity position. In summary, over the last year, we have reduced our total debt levels 50% while pushing out our maturity walls. Going forward, the combination of operating improvements and lower amortizations positions us to approach our go-forward capital needs from a position of strength. Finally, we are reaffirming our full year 2026 guidance.
Revenue of $128 million-$138 million, which represents 20%-30% growth over 2025, and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $30 million-$25 million, which represents a 40% improvement from our previously released guidance. For the third quarter, we expect revenue of between $35.5 million and $37.5 million, and adjusted EBITDA loss of between $7 million and $4 million. Consistent with what we have said previously, we expect adjusted EBITDA loss to narrow further in the fourth quarter. Importantly, as we exit a heavy maintenance and CapEx cycle, we expect our free cash flow conversion to improve sequentially, and over time converge towards adjusted EBITDA. To highlight another point, for the second half of this year, we expect our airline to be a bright spot from a profitability perspective.
This is a direct result of the investments we have made, the technology we have deployed, and it reflects the cost actions Louis previously discussed. With that, I will hand it back to Deanna.
Thank you, Oliver. This quarter, in a genuinely difficult macro environment, we finished building the foundation for the next phases of our transformation plan. We achieved our guidance through cost control and technology efficiencies. We signed our first enterprise software customer. We deepened the partnership with Palantir. We supported the launch of BETA's electric aircraft in Hawaii. And we ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet. When we announced in April we could improve our adjusted EBITDA guidance by 40% while maintaining our revenue growth this year, we meant it, and this quarter was a start of proving it to you. From here, our focus is on revenue growth and profitability. Thank you to everyone for your continued interest in Surf Air Mobility. Operator, let's please open it up for questions.
We will now begin the question and answer session for analysts, with a second Q and A session for retail questions to follow. For this session, we ask that analysts please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press star one again. We ask that you pick up your handset when asking a question to allow for optimum sound quality. If you are muted locally, please remember to unmute your device. Your first question comes from the line of Mike Latimore from Northland Capital Markets. Your line is open. Please go ahead.
All right, great. Thank you. Yeah, congrats on the charter growth and this large enterprise deal. That was great. I guess on the charter business, in the past you talked about number of brokers you want to onboard by year-end. Has that number changed? Still the same? How important is that broker onboarding versus other factors here to driving charter growth, like the wholesale relationships?
Thanks, Mike, for the question. Josh, our Head of On-Demand, I will let you answer that question.
Yeah, absolutely. Thank you for your question. We definitely intend to continue to scale our Powered by Surf On Demand program. As I sort of mentioned, we have had overwhelming interest from brokers around the world in wanting to join the program. Obviously, we want to balance quality and make sure that we are bringing on brokers that have a good knowledge and an understanding of the business and can really help us grow it. So we do fully intend to continue to scale and bring on board brokers and continue to see growth in the program. To the second part of your question around wholesale relationships and supply relationships, these remain incredibly important because we need to make sure that our brokers have excellent supply at their fingertips so that that can be passed on to our customers so we continue to grow.
Expanding wholesale relationships with operators is equally as important to us in the second half of this year.
Got it. You mentioned a goal of having another, I think, enterprise win, software win by end of the year. Would that be also the BrokerOS version of that or something else?
Thanks, Mike, for that question. I will kick it to Liam, who is in charge of the SurfOS project.
Hey, Mike. Thanks for the question. We are in several active discussions across all the different products right now, across OperatorOS, OEM, as well as larger scale brokers. We have quite a healthy pipeline. I think the announcement of Wheels Up was a really positive one, and we had a pretty healthy pipeline before that, and we continue to develop that pipeline. I think it is not we are in multiple discussions across all the different products, which is really exciting.
Yeah. Okay, great. Just last on OpEx. Is the second quarter OpEx a good run rate for third quarter, or do you expect to grow it a little bit with the Palantir expansion?
Mike, thanks. Oliver, do you want to take that question?
Sure. No, look, Mike, it's a pretty good run rate. I think we have said that we're coming out of some major push on the investment side for the development of SurfOS, for example, and that should leverage. So notwithstanding the fact that we have three products, as Liam mentioned, we don't expect the cost to go up commensurately with the number of products. So, I think it's a good base. Adjusted for certain things like that, you should be on the right track for operating expenses.
All right. Sounds good. Congrats on the great results.
Your next question comes from Brian Kinstlinger with Alliance Global Partners. Your line is open. Please go ahead.
Great. Thanks so much for taking my question. My first one's for Liam, probably related to the Wheels Up deal. When does the contract start? Does anything need to be accomplished before you get the program launched, and how long does it take for product installation? The second part of that is how has the pipeline changed and evolved since you announced that deal? How are you seeing incremental interest now that you have an anchor first customer?
I can take that. First part of the question is we're under integration right now. With the partnership with Palantir and a lot of the infrastructure and kind of the development on the back end, it allows us to really stand up instances pretty quickly. So we're fully underway and integrating them. Of that contract, we expect to collect about $2 million, half the revenue, for this year, and then starting Jan 1, that will be full $4 million for next year. So we're at the advanced stages of setting them up and implementing all their workflows and everything onto BrokerOS, which is really exciting. The second part of your question, post Wheels Up, have we been getting some additional What does the pipeline look like? I would answer that with yes.
We've been getting a lot of interest, not only across the broker side, but across operations as well as OEM manufacturers, which has been really exciting for us.
Great. My second question, maybe you could break down the second half of the year revenue guidance, where the ramp is coming from in your three segments, Scheduled, On-Demand, and Surf. As you exit the year with that mix, what does a gross margin look like as you exit the year?
Hi, it's Oliver. I would like to address that in a number of parts. I think that during the call, a lot of detail was given as to the various businesses and how they are going to inflect towards profitability. Let's just break it down by category. On the Scheduled side, if you are really thinking about revenue, as Louis mentioned earlier, we expect the degree of loss of the routes that we are getting out of to start slowing. You should see that start showing up in the numbers in the third and fourth quarter. On-Demand, I think Josh has done a great job of explaining how he is going to continue to grow that business at the rate that we have currently been experiencing. We expect also to see some of the first trickles of revenue for SurfOS start to be recognized in the third and fourth quarter.
All in all, we are very comfortable with our revenue guidance for the third quarter, the implied guidance for the fourth quarter, and our guidance for the full year. As it relates to adjusted EBITDA, on the Scheduled side, in my comments, I mentioned that I expect that to be one of the bright spots of profitability in the third and fourth quarter. Louis has done a fantastic job there. SurfOS has provided some real improvements in our cost structure, as Louis mentioned in great detail. I think that is when you are going to start seeing that flow into the numbers. On the Charter side, as Josh mentioned, working capital is particularly important. Our ability to go and pre-buy supply and then sell that at higher margins is going to both catalyze our growth because from a competitive position, that is very important to us.
Also from a profitability standpoint, we are going to obviously get some benefit on adjusted EBITDA as we continue to grow that business, notwithstanding the operating leverage from the type of growth that we are seeing there. On the Surf Air side, as we start seeing that revenue, that will obviously be at significantly higher margins, which is where your question is leading to, and that starts flowing through in the fourth quarter. On the corporate side, notwithstanding what I said earlier in terms of some of the leverage against costs such as the investment in SurfOS, we should also see through Deanna's leadership, some reduction in the operating costs through the cost controls that we have and we continue to implement in this business.
Great. Thank you so much.
Summing it all up, we should say that.
Your next question comes from David Storms with Stonegate Capital Partners. Your line is open. Please go ahead.
Hey, thanks for taking my questions. You mentioned in the release the drag from fuel prices and some other macro headwinds like the weather, but also that the Scheduled part of your business should be a bright spot. Can we interpret that you see the fuel situation easing, or is that mostly SurfOS driving efficiencies in your business?
Thanks for the question. It's Louis. We are seeing SurfOS and the efficiencies that we're putting into place. Those are long-term. Those are permanent changes that we are making to the airline. With that, we're able to really kind of fight off the volatility of fuel as it kind of goes up and down. I'm really proud of the team in terms of what they did in Q2, and we're just going to keep pushing our digitization side. We're not done with the airline. We're going to continue to expand what we've started with SurfOS and we're going to continue to make the airline efficient, and that's just going to position us better for the volatility that we've seen.
Got it. Okay. That's really helpful. Thank you. Then, in the earnings release, you specifically called out cargo, wholesale, some sort of other potential revenue streams. How are you thinking about the potential scale there? Is it too soon to tell, or could those become kind of meaningful standalone revenue lines over time?
I'll let Josh take that question. Josh?
Yeah, absolutely. Great question. Wholesale is an area that as we deliver more supply partnerships, we'll definitely see an increase in the wholesale division within Surf On Demand. I do expect to see wholesale to continue to grow. When we look at cargo, I also expect that to grow. Whilst we have a very large retail charter brokerage that we've grown, the cargo piece is still relatively new. We've had the division for less than a year, and we're already seeing great results from it. I expect both of those segments to continue to grow. Then, as I mentioned earlier, the Powered by Surf On Demand, which we also put in that sort of new big business category, we absolutely expect that to continue to scale.
I am confident that when we speak again in the future, that we will have seen growth and continued growth in those three sort of newer business lines for Surf On Demand.
Got it. Okay. Hey, thanks, Josh. Congrats, everybody, on the quarter.
Thank you.
I will now turn the call over to Deanna White to answer any questions pertaining to retail. Your line is open. Please go ahead.
Yes. Thank you. The first question, how close are we to major partnerships? I assume that means on the SurfOS side. So I will turn that over to Liam to answer.
Thank you, Deanna. As we mentioned in our earnings, we announced Wheels Up as our first contract this quarter. We have an active enterprise pipeline across brokers, Part 135 operators, fleet management companies, large-scale legacy OEMs, as well as next-gen electric OEMs. We really believe that the pipeline could be worth tens of millions annually in revenue. Those are really the partnerships and enterprise and small businesses across all those different groups that we're excited about the pipeline. We can't name any of those contracts until they're obviously signed, but we're in several active discussions. The Wheels Up demonstrates the product and how it works from outside customers, and that market is ready. Targeting at least one additional enterprise contract before year-end is what we're targeting. The pipeline really comes from relationships we already have.
Plus, we have Palantir's go-to-market and commercial team and business development resource that's helping us in all these active conversations, which is really helping us in the pipeline and potentially closing more deals. We're also actively working on converting our LOIs into paying contracts, which we're excited to announce more as that comes to fruition, and that's something well underway. As I've mentioned, it's a very active pipeline, and we're really feeling good where we are now with the pipeline, and it's not just across one single BrokerOS, it's across all the products. So we're excited to share more in the future.
Next question is, could you provide more detail on our strategy to regain compliance with New York Stock Exchange continued listing standards, and how the recent debt financing affects future shareholder dilution?
Yes. I'll take it in two parts, if that's okay.
Yeah.
Regarding the NYSE continued listing standards, on July 30, 2027, the company informed NYSE of its intent to cure its non-compliance with continued listing standards due to a minimum share price deficiency. Regaining compliance requires that the company's 30-day trading average share price exceeds $1 within six months of the receipt of the NYSE deficiency notification, which we actually received on July 24, 2027. As we stated in our press release, we ambition to cure this minimum price deficiency organically by executing against the next phase of our transformation plan and putting wins on the board. However, as a risk mitigant, we also requested and received shareholder approval to effect a reverse stock split at our annual shareholder meeting on July 25.
I think it's important to note that this approval is only an authorization to effect a reverse stock split, and it does not require the company's Board of Directors to implement it. We, going forward, intend to closely monitor our stock price over the near term to ensure that we regain listing compliance within the appropriate time frames. Now to address the second part of your question. The recent financing transactions actually reduced shareholder dilutions in a number of ways. First, we bifurcated our existing convertible note into two new notes. A new $17 million convertible note due in 2027, and a $30 million term note due in 2028. This financing actually reduces the convertible principal by 64% and reduces cash amortizations by up to 50%. In addition, the term loan does not amortize or accrue interest until January 2027.
Separately, our new asset-backed loan, which provides incremental working capital into the business, does not start amortizing until June 2027. All these actions combined were specifically structured to reduce shareholder dilution while providing the company with the capital required to execute its plans.
Thank you, Oliver. The next question is for Liam again. Will Palantir and Surf Air team up and use SurfOS for air traffic management as well?
Thank you, Deanna. The technology that we've built, I think the more we deploy tools across our own airline and our own charter operation, we're starting to see there's other end-use cases, which is really exciting. Overall, SurfOS brings together the data from across Part 135 aviation ecosystem, and we really believe that this data, when properly connected and federated, there's broad applications across many different segments. We're really, really finding more use cases and end markets, which is exciting, and we've been involved in discussions and pursuing opportunities of this matter. Nothing to announce today, but we are actively looking at other ways that we can leverage the SurfOS technology within the product set that we've announced, but also other use cases, which we're excited to share more when we have more news on that front.
Thanks, Liam. You're up again. A lot of interest in SurfOS. Management says the pipeline is growing while OwnerOS and OEM OS remain unlaunched. Beyond Wheels Up and OperatorOS, will OwnerOS or OEM OS secure a signed-paying external customer by December 31, 2026? If yes, can you confirm the product and quarter?
Okay. By winning our first enterprise client, our pipeline and product development has accelerated, and we remain confident in commercializing all those products this year. We are in active conversations with large-scale aircraft management companies, fleet operators, leasecos, and OEMs. The timeline, just to reiterate here, is BrokerOS was commercially launched, and the scale with Wheels Up this quarter. OperatorOS and OwnerOS are scheduled to launch commercially by Q4, and OEM OS is in development. One thing I will highlight is, we are doing beta demonstration flights in Hawaii, and we're starting to build the foundations for OEM OS with these trial flights. We're getting data off of the aircraft, and we're starting to build what that product will look like and using the trial flights as kind of our beta test case study for OEM OS.
That's an important key milestone that we are getting data off of that aircraft and we will be putting into SurfOS and starting building the workflows and agents and everything around the OEM side, which is really exciting. Our target is to convert at least one additional enterprise client contract by end of the year, which we're feeling with our pipeline, really positive about. We can't comment obviously on the specifics of that contract, because it's not closed. But like I've mentioned across some of these other questions, we're feeling Wheels Up was sort of our first enterprise client that we announced, and we had a very healthy business development pipeline before and after. Since we've announced that, we have even a healthier business development pipeline.
We are excited to have more updates and update everyone as more contracts, and we get more customers and revenue over the course of the next quarters. Thanks, Deanna.
Thanks, Liam. The last question is, what are the top three milestones investors should expect over the next 12 months? The first is the commercialization of SurfOS. Earlier this year, we gave some milestones and targets we were looking for. Obviously, for our first enterprise client, which we have achieved with the Wheels Up contract. We also plan, as Liam just mentioned, that we will be adding at least one more from the pipeline that we have on the enterprise. Secondly, for OperatorOS, we talked about 17 LOIs that we have previously had and adding 10 more to that. That is all in progress. Some of those discussions are having those potential clients skip the LOI stage and go straight to a contract. As soon as we have something to announce as far as that, we will in the future.
We also have a milestone to do five operators from our pipeline of LOIs and clients by the end of this year, and we have one in progress currently. Many of the LOIs that we have are very interested in going up next to start the onboarding there. For OwnerOS, like Liam said, we plan to launch that in Q4. Our second big milestone is our Surf On Demand growth and improving those margins. The revenue growth there is the biggest driver for the growth this year, and we are also making sure that our gross margin profile improves as we get working capital, more supplier agreements, we add all the new revenue lines that Josh was mentioning, and do it more efficient using BrokerOS.
We are shifting our mix in that business to larger aircraft, and the Powered by Surf On Demand program with independent brokers is bearing a lot of fruit. We had a target of 100 independent brokers to be a part of that program by year-end, and we have currently onboarded 50, so halfway there at the end of the second quarter. The last milestone is profitability. We upped our adjusted EBITDA loss guidance in April, and you will see that narrowing each quarter of 2026, with the airline operations expected to be the most profitable part of the business in the second half. We reaffirmed our full-year guidance both for our revenue and our adjusted EBITDA loss. So that ends our Q2 2026 earnings call. Appreciate everybody for participating and your interest in Surf Air Mobility.
Thank you for attending. This concludes today's call. You may now disconnect.

Surf Air Mobility Q1 Earnings Call Highlights
Interested in Surf Air Mobility Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Surf Air Mobility beat Q1 expectations, reporting $25.6 million in revenue at the high end of guidance and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.3 million, better than planned. Management also raised full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance to $25 million–$30 million from $40 million–$50 million. The company’s Surf On Demand charter business had a record quarter, with revenue up 77% year over year to $10.1 million and margins improving. Growth was driven by more higher-value flights and better booking efficiency through BrokerOS. SurfOS and the BETA partnership are central to Surf Air Mobility’s long-term strategy. SurfOS is expected to drive cost savings and future software revenue, while the BETA deal could eliminate up to $100 million in planned capex and support electric aircraft operations starting later this decade. Surf Air Mobility (NYSE:SRFM) reported first-quarter 2026 results that came in at the high end of its revenue outlook and ahead of its Adjusted EBITDA guidance, while management raised its full-year profitability forecast and emphasized cost savings from its SurfOS technology platform. Chief Executive Officer Deanna White said revenue for the quarter was $25.6 million, at the high end of the company’s $24 million to $26 million guidance range, while Adjusted EBITDA loss was $12.3 million, better than the company’s prior outlook. Chief Financial Officer Oliver Reeves said total revenue rose 9% year over year. → Micron Investors Face a High-Stakes Moment After the Latest Rally Surf Air Mobility maintained its full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $128 million to $138 million, representing 20% to 30% growth over 2025. The company improved its 2026 Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance to a range of $25 million to $30 million, compared with prior guidance for a loss of $40 million to $50 million.

Surf Air Mobility beat Q1 expectations, reporting $25.6 million in revenue at the high end of guidance and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.3 million, better than planned. Management also raised full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance to $25 million–$30 million from $40 million–$50 million. The company’s Surf On Demand charter business had a record quarter, with revenue up 77% year over year to $10.1 million and margins improving. Growth was driven by more higher-value flights and better booking efficiency through BrokerOS. SurfOS and the BETA partnership are central to Surf Air Mobility’s long-term strategy. SurfOS is expected to drive cost savings and future software revenue, while the BETA deal could eliminate up to $100 million in planned capex and support electric aircraft operations starting later this decade. Surf Air Mobility (NYSE:SRFM) reported first-quarter 2026 results that came in at the high end of its revenue outlook and ahead of its Adjusted EBITDA guidance, while management raised its full-year profitability forecast and emphasized cost savings from its SurfOS technology platform. Chief Executive Officer Deanna White said revenue for the quarter was $25.6 million, at the high end of the company’s $24 million to $26 million guidance range, while Adjusted EBITDA loss was $12.3 million, better than the company’s prior outlook. Chief Financial Officer Oliver Reeves said total revenue rose 9% year over year. → Micron Investors Face a High-Stakes Moment After the Latest Rally Surf Air Mobility maintained its full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $128 million to $138 million, representing 20% to 30% growth over 2025. The company improved its 2026 Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance to a range of $25 million to $30 million, compared with prior guidance for a loss of $40 million to $50 million. White said the revised Adjusted EBITDA outlook reflects four factors: expected cost reductions from SurfOS in the airline and charter businesses, corporate automation and procurement discipline, revenue growth in the company’s charter business through Powered by Surf On Demand, and lower SurfOS development costs through AI-assisted build cycles. → How Bad Could Tesla’s Cybertruck Recall Be for Shares? “The bigger picture is that SurfOS is now visibly moving our financial results,” White said. Louis Saint-Cyr, President of Airline Operations, said Surf Air Mobility’s two airline brands, Southern Airways Express and Mokulele Airlines, carried about 65,000 passengers on nearly 13,000 departures during the quarter. Scheduled service revenue was $15.5 million, down 13% year over year, which management said reflected the planned exit of unprofitable routes. → Reading the Stripes: Is The Industrial Recession Over? Saint-Cyr said the company maintained a controllable completion factor of 96%, with on-time departures of 72% and on-time arrivals of 78%, all improved from the prior-year period. He said SurfOS tools for crew scheduling, aircraft dispatch and maintenance digitization helped reduce costs and improve reliability. In Hawaii, Saint-Cyr said Surf Air Mobility renovated its Honolulu airport hub terminal and took delivery of two new Cessna Caravans in April. He also said the company completed implementation of its safety management system, or SMS, in April, one year ahead of the FAA’s May 2027 mandate. According to Saint-Cyr, Surf Air Mobility is one of nine Part 135 commuter operators in the U.S. to complete an operational SMS. Joshua Loden, President of Surf On Demand, said the private charter business generated $10.1 million in first-quarter revenue, up 77% year over year and its highest quarterly revenue since inception. He said March was the business’s highest revenue month ever, while gross margins improved 340 basis points from the same quarter last year. Loden attributed the growth to a shift toward higher-value flights and efficiency gains from BrokerOS. He said revenue per flight rose 38% in the quarter, long-haul flights of more than 1,000 miles increased 149%, international departures rose 87%, and flights on aircraft with more than nine seats were up 49%. BrokerOS contributed to top brokers closing 32% more bookings, quote-to-close time improving 57%, and payments processed on platform increasing 40%, Loden said, comparing first-quarter 2026 with the prior-year period. The company ended the first quarter with six active independent brokers enrolled in the Powered by Surf On Demand program, a figure that has since grown to 29. Loden said the company has hundreds of additional applications in the queue and is targeting 100 independent brokers by year-end. In March, Surf On Demand received ARGUS Certified Charter Broker accreditation, which Loden said makes it one of 16 ARGUS-certified brokerages globally. The business also joined the Air Charter Safety Foundation. Co-Founder Liam Fayed said SurfOS is being developed using operational and commercial data from Surf Air Mobility’s airline and charter businesses before products are offered externally. He described the broader market opportunity across charter aviation, private aircraft sales and maintenance, repair and overhaul aftermarket as an estimated $156 billion global opportunity. Fayed said BrokerOS launched commercially in December 2025 and is being monetized through a take rate across on-demand private charter bookings. OperatorOS, designed for small and mid-sized Part 135 operators, is targeted for commercial launch in the second half of 2026. The company has 17 letters of intent and software agreements signed for OperatorOS, with 2026 targets of 10 additional LOIs and five operators live by year-end. Fayed also said SurfOS Enterprise Solutions targets large operators, charter brokerages and aircraft manufacturers. He said Palantir’s forward-deployed engineering team is participating in enterprise sales conversations under an exclusive teaming agreement, and the company is seeking to close multi-year, multi-million-dollar contracts in 2026. During the Q&A, Sudhin Shahani, Co-Founder of Surf Air Mobility, said the Palantir partnership provides access to Foundry and AIP infrastructure, development and deployment resources, business development support and tools to launch AI agents more quickly. He said Surf Air Mobility has an exclusive arrangement with Palantir in the charter broker and operator category. White said Surf Air Mobility’s partnership with BETA Technologies remains central to its electric aircraft ambitions. In March, the company announced a firm order for 25 BETA all-electric aircraft, with options for 75 more, and said it was designated as BETA’s launch operator for commercial passenger electric service. White said the agreement also made Surf Air Mobility BETA’s exclusive maintenance, repair and overhaul facility in its launch market of Hawaii, with the ability to expand into additional regions. She said the partnership allowed Surf Air Mobility to eliminate up to $100 million in planned capital expenditures on its Cessna Caravan powertrain electrification program. Saint-Cyr said BETA cargo demonstration flights in Hawaii are expected to begin at the end of June and run for about two months. He said the flights will allow Surf Air Mobility and BETA teams to exchange operational knowledge and data while validating aircraft performance between Honolulu, Molokai and Lanai. In response to an investor question, Saint-Cyr said the BETA aircraft is expected to cost about 30% less to operate per aircraft compared with the Cessna Caravan, driven by fuel and maintenance savings. He said the first aircraft arrival is expected in about 24 months, referring to the end of the fourth quarter of 2028. For the second quarter of 2026, Reeves said Surf Air Mobility expects revenue of $27 million to $30 million and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $8.5 million to $10.5 million. He said the outlook reflects continued growth in On Demand private charter and the effect of prior-year exits from unprofitable scheduled-service routes. Reeves said second-quarter guidance also reflects two external headwinds: higher global fuel prices and April weather in Hawaii, which drove elevated cancellations on the inter-island network. He said the company responded to fuel pressure with targeted fare actions in markets where demand supports them. The company also raised $30 million in April, including $15 million through a non-dilutive aircraft-backed credit facility and $15 million in common equity. Reeves said proceeds are primarily intended to accelerate SurfOS implementation and fund electrification initiatives. He added that co-founders, the chairman, CEO, CFO and other directors collectively purchased about $5.3 million of Surf Air Mobility common stock in the offering.

Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $10.5 million to $8.5 million, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, changes in fair value of financial instruments, and transaction and restructuring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance for the second quarter reflects the impact of significantly increased fuel costs, compounding weather-related cancellations in Hawaii, and the continued strategic investment in SurfOS development in advance of its broader commercial launch.

Readers of this release should be aware of the speculative nature of forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the beliefs of the Company’s management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company and reflect the Company’s current views concerning future events. As such, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

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. 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. 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 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.
