Management Commentary

 

Jet.AI Chairman and CEO Mike Winston commented, “We’re seeing strength across our business, with improvements in our key financial metrics both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter. To make our earnings more predictable, we entered an agreement with Textron Aviation to purchase three Cessna Citation CJ4 jets, which will be delivered in stages—one each in the first, second, and fourth quarters of 2026. This order complements a proposed fleet deal with Bombardier for Challenger 3500 jets, which would be expected a year later in the first, second and third quarters of 2027, respectively. Our plan is to pre-sell shares in fleet aircraft to customers before delivery, maintaining a ‘capital-light’ model in private aviation by reducing upfront costs.”

 

“We’ve authorized a share buyback, completed a reverse split and pulled a Form S-1 due to its heavy warrant structure. On a related note, we also filed an S-3 as a continuation of our previously disclosed transaction with Ionic Ventures LLC. The Company now expects to regain compliance with NASDAQ’s listing standards by the November 26th deadline.”

 

Winston also spoke about advancing CharterGPT, the company’s AI-based booking technology. “Over the next few quarters, we aim to develop CharterGPT into an ‘AI agent’ that can handle both the customer-facing and backend aspects of the booking process independently, returning results without extensive human oversight. Expanding sales by hiring more charter brokers isn’t particularly interesting to us, but expanding sales by using AI brokers with only the most crucial moments of human involvement is very interesting. Testing this approach is relatively low-cost and may reveal a product market fit for AI-driven sales.”

 

 
 

 

 

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

 

Revenues were $3.9 million, an increase of $0.5 million compared to the same period last year and $0.8 million compared to the prior quarter. The primary reason for the increase was due to additional service revenue arising from the Company entering into an agreement to manage a second customer aircraft in the second quarter of 2024.

 

Software App and Cirrus Charter revenue, the gross amount of charters booked through CharterGPT and Cirrus, was $2.4 million, an increase of $0.5 million compared to the same period last year.

 


Management and Other Services revenue
, which is comprised of revenues generated from managing and chartering our customer aircrafts, totaled $960,000 compared to $775,000 in the same period last year.

 


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 the Company’s fractional customers, totaled $547,000 compared to $732,000 in the same period last year.

 

Cost of revenues totaled $3.9 million compared to $3.2 million in the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to an increase in Cirrus charter flight activity, costs related to the operation of aircraft and payments to Cirrus for their management.

 

Gross loss totaled approximately $14,000 compared to a gross profit of $170,000 in the same period last year and gross loss of $417,000 in the prior quarter. The result was largely driven by reduced flights performed for the Company’s jet card customers without a corresponding reduction in fixed costs.

 

Operating expenses totaled $2.9 million compared to $4.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the improvement in general and administrative, sales & marketing, and research & development expenses.

 

Operating loss decreased to approximately $2.9 million compared to $4.3 million in the same period last year and $3.2 million in the prior quarter. The improvement was primarily due to the aforementioned reasons above.

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $312,000 compared to $528,000 as of June 30, 2024, and $2.5 million of cash and cash equivalents as of today, November 14th, 2024.
