Global Crossing Airlines Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Record Quarterly Utilization of 9,901 Block Hours Drives Revenue Growth of 11% YoY to $58.0 Million

MIAMI, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Crossing Airlines Group, Inc. (Cboe CA: JET, Cboe CA: JET.B, OTCQB: JETMF) (the “Company” or “GlobalX”), The Nation's Fastest Growing Charter Airline™, today announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Except as otherwise disclosed, all figures are presented in United States dollars and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Management Commentary

Chris Jamroz, Executive Chairman of GlobalX, stated: “In the third quarter, GlobalX delivered another period of strong growth and significant year-over-year improvement, with revenue up 11%, EBITDAR¹ up 22%, and EBITDA¹ improving by nearly $5 million versus the same quarter last year. We achieved some of the highest aircraft utilization rates since our inception, driven by increased demand across the full spectrum of charter and ACMI customers. While we’re proud of this progress, the results were nonetheless a disappointment to us. We had the opportunity to achieve net income profitability — and we fell short due to our own execution issues. The good news is that we feel that every one of these challenges was controllable within our four walls.”

“The rapid pace of growth challenged our maintenance and operations functions, leading to avoidable logistics disruptions and preventable aircraft on ground (“AOG”) events. Over the past sixty days, we’ve taken decisive action — overhauling leadership across operations and maintenance, redesigning processes, strengthening controls, and investing significantly in preventive maintenance. We’ve addressed the pain points, and as we enter the final quarter of the year, we’re confident in our ability to execute and build upon the strong momentum in our business.”

Ryan Goepel, President and CFO of GlobalX, added, “This quarter demonstrated both the strength of our business model and the operational growing pains that accompanied rapid scaling. While aircraft utilization reached record levels, we lost approximately 500 block hours to unscheduled maintenance across the fleet — a direct hit to revenue, crew productivity and margins. Those lost hours, and the resulting incremental maintenance expense, are the primary reasons we missed the opportunity to report positive net income this quarter.”

Goepel continued, “Over the past sixty days we’ve taken targeted, measurable steps to remedy these shortcomings. We’ve reduced more than $5 million in annualized office and operating costs through reorganization and tighter SG&A discipline. We expect a more normalized SG&A run rate beginning in December, traditionally our busiest and most profitable month, and we anticipate all aircraft will be fully operational heading into that period. Operationally, we’ve strengthened maintenance planning, improved parts logistics, and instituted new checkpoints and feedback loops to prevent recurring AOG events.”

“Bookings across all charter customer segments are at record levels, materially ahead of last year,” Goepel concluded. “We’ve made meaningful progress in building a more efficient and reliable organization and are entering year-end with improved reliability and a stronger foundation for profitability. Looking to 2026, we plan to build on this momentum through disciplined growth, focusing on profitable expansion, and deploying additional aircraft to meet rising demand across our core charter markets,” Goepel concluded.

The Company also announced that its Executive Chairman, Chris Jamroz, has agreed to acquire a block of 1.5 million shares and warrants, making him the largest individual, non-institutional shareholder with approximately 7% on a fully diluted basis (accounting for the vesting of the RSUs).

Q3 2025 Financial Highlights (vs. Q3 2024) – Three Month Period

• Revenue: Revenue increased 11% to $58.0 million compared to $52.4 million. The increase was primarily driven by continued growth in ACMI operations.
  
  

• Total Operating Expenses: Operating expenses increased 4% to $57.0 million compared to $55.0 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 improved to $2.0 million compared to $4.9 million. Loss per share improved to $(0.03) per basic and diluted share, compared to $(0.08) per basic and diluted share in the prior-year period. This was primarily driven by the increase in higher margin ACMI revenues.

• EBITDA¹: EBITDA improved by nearly $5 million over the prior year comparison to $4.3 million compared to $(0.6) 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 (SEC) 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 when comparing results across various airlines, which aims to normalize for 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.
