Blade Air Mobility Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2022
•Second quarter ended June 30, 2022 revenue up 175% versus the prior year period to $35.6 million; six month period ended June 30, 2022 revenue up 180% versus the prior year period to $62.3 million
•Short Distance revenue up 89% in Q2 2022 versus the prior year period, reflecting strong demand, higher pricing across our route network and the Helijet transaction
•MediMobility Organ Transport revenue up 36% sequentially in Q2 2022 versus Q1 2022, driven by new clients and robust growth with existing accounts; up 1,013% versus the prior year period, driven by our acquisition of Trinity Air Medical, Inc ("Trinity")
•Flight Margin improved sequentially to 14.3% in Q2 2022 versus 11.0% in Q1 2022, driven by Helijet's return to profitability and improved utilization across our route network
•Blade's three Europe acquisitions expected to close in late Summer 2022
NEW YORK — (8/9/2022) — Blade Air Mobility, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLDE, “Blade” or the “Company”), a technology-powered air mobility platform, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
"Blade delivered record revenue and Flight Profit this quarter, with strong growth across all business lines," said Rob Wiesenthal, Blade’s Chief Executive Officer. "We have seen continued strength in our consumer-facing businesses with revenue and average seat prices for both the second quarter and third quarter to-date well ahead of our 2019 and 2021 levels. Given unwavering demand from our fliers coupled with continued strong sequential growth in our MediMobility Organ Transport business, Blade has proven it is well positioned to thrive in this uncertain macroeconomic environment."
"Our strong financial performance is a testament to our success in leveraging the Blade platform across the diverse portfolio of businesses that we have built and acquired since our inception," said Will Heyburn, Blade’s Chief Financial Officer. "By deploying our brand, aircraft operator network, and technology-enabled logistics and customer service, we have significantly accelerated growth, including in our MediMobility Organ Transport business, which experienced 139% pro forma organic growth compared to the prior year period."
"We look forward to closing our acquisitions in Europe, where our roll-up of the commercial activities of three prominent urban air mobility operators will fortify Blade’s leadership in the region,” said Melissa Tomkiel, Blade's President. "Our urban air mobility alliance with JetBlue has now been launched, providing preferred pricing and other benefits for seamless air transport between Manhattan and New York area airports for the TrueBlue loyalty program membership base.”
Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2022 Financial Highlights
▪Total revenue increased 175% to $35.6 million in the current quarter versus $13.0 million in the prior year period. On a pro forma basis, assuming Blade had owned both Trinity and Helijet International Inc's ("Helijet") scheduled passenger routes in the prior year period, revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 would have been up 87%
1
▪Flight Margin of 14.3% improved sequentially versus Q1 2022, as expected, but decreased versus 23.0% in the prior year period, driven primarily by the significant revenue mix shift towards MediMobility Organ Transport and re-launch of Blade Airport service, which remained below breakeven during the ramp-up period this quarter as expected
▪Short Distance revenue increased 89% to $11.0 million in the current quarter versus $5.8 million in the prior year period. Growth was driven by our acquisition of Helijet's passenger routes in Vancouver, the resumption of our Blade Airport service, growth in short distance charter, and higher pricing across our network
▪MediMobility Organ Transport revenue increased 1,013% to $17.2 million in the current quarter versus $1.6 million in the prior year period, driven by Blade's acquisition of Trinity in September 2021. On a pro forma basis, assuming Blade had owned Trinity in the prior year period, revenue growth in MediMobility Organ Transport would have been 139% versus the prior year period, driven by a combination of new hospital clients and continued growth with existing accounts
▪Jet and Other revenue increased 32% to $7.4 million in the current quarter versus $5.6 million in the prior year period driven primarily by an increase in the average price per trip, and stronger demand for our seasonal BladeOne jet service between New York and South Florida
▪Net income increased to $8.4 million in the current quarter versus a net loss of $24.3 million in the prior year period, driven primarily by increased revenue and a favorable change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $19.3 million (compared to an unfavorable change of $14.9 million and $1.7 million of recapitalization costs attributable to warrant liabilities in the prior year period), partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in General & Administrative costs
▪Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $(6.1) million in the current quarter from $(2.6) million in the prior year period. The decrease versus the prior year period is primarily attributable to additional corporate and recurring expenses related to Blade’s growth and status as a public company, partially offset by increased Flight Profit
Business Highlights and Recent Updates
▪Blade's MediMobility Organ Transport division, which is the largest dedicated air transporter of human organs for transplant in the United States, continues to grow its client base and is now serving a total of 59 transplant centers and organ procurement organizations
▪Blade Airport, offering service between Manhattan and both JFK and Newark Airports, has continued to show sequential improvements, with its current passenger run-rate well ahead of pre-pandemic levels, while the introduction of dynamic pricing has driven further revenue growth. Further capacity expansions and the opening of an exclusive Blade terminal at Newark Airport are expected to drive growth in Q3
▪Blade's partnership with JetBlue launched on June 23, 2022. Under the partnership, JetBlue will purchase four Blade Airport transfers per year for its top-tier Mosaic+ loyalty program members, while all TrueBlue members will receive first-time flier pricing benefits from Blade
▪On May 19, 2022, Blade announced an agreement to acquire the asset-light commercial passenger transport activities of three urban air mobility operators in Europe, which generated an aggregate of approximately €30 million in revenue while servicing approximately 125,000 fliers in 2019, prior to the impact of COVID-19. The transaction is expected to close in late Summer 2022 while Blade has already seen success offering seats during key events, including the Monaco Grand Prix and Cannes Film Festival, on a resale basis prior to close

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA - To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Blade reports Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. This measure excludes non-cash items or certain transactions that are not indicative of ongoing Company operating performance and / or items that management does not believe are reflective of our ongoing core operations (as shown in the table below).
Flight Profit and Flight Margin - Blade defines Flight Profit as revenue less cost of revenue. Blade defines Flight Margin for a period as Flight Profit for the period divided by revenue for the same period.
Pro forma revenue - Blade uses pro forma financial information which include revenue from acquisitions as if they had been acquired in the commensurate period of the prior year. Pro forma change in revenue is calculated as the difference between the current reported revenue and the comparative period pro forma revenue. Management believes that discussing pro forma revenue contributes to the understanding of Blade's performance and trends, because it allows for meaningful comparisons of the current year period to that of prior years.
Blade believes that these non-GAAP measures, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP results, provide useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The non-GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Flight Profit and Pro forma revenue have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the tables within this press release.

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and may be identified by the use of words such as "will", “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “continue,” “expect,” “estimate,” “may,” “plan,” “outlook,” “future” and “project” and other similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. These statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and may also relate to Blade’s future prospects, developments and business strategies. In particular, such forward-looking statements include statements concerning Blade’s estimated and future financial and operating performance, results of operations, business strategies and plans, customer behavior, competitive position, industry environment and growth opportunities, and the closing of acquisitions. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events. Actual results may differ materially from the results predicted, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance.
Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside Blade’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements include: the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, failure of the markets for our offerings to grow as expected, or at all; our ability to attract and retain customers and increase existing customer utilization rates; the inability or unavailability to use or take advantage of the shift, or lack thereof, to EVA technology or the failure of such technology to deliver the expected results and cost savings; our ability to successfully enter new markets and launch new offerings; accidents or safety-related events involving small aircraft that create adverse publicity; the effects of competition; effects of pricing pressures; injuries to our reputation and brand; challenges to our ability to provide quality customer support at scale; events that cause decreases in our daily aircraft usage rates and flier utilization rates; shifts in customer preferences, discretionary spending and the ability of our customers to pay for our services; disruption of operations at the heliports and airports where our operations are concentrated; risks associated climate change, including potential increased impacts of severe weather and regulatory activity; the availability of aircraft fuel; technology system failures, defects, errors, or vulnerabilities and cyber-based attacks; our ability to receive favorable placements in mobile application marketplaces and effectively

operate our mobile operating systems and applications; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; risks related to our use of open source software; our ability to maintain and expand our facility and infrastructure network; our ability to obtain additional funding on acceptable terms, or at all; our ability to successfully navigate international expansion; our ability to identify, complete and successfully integrate acquisitions; our ability to manage future growth effectively; our ability or that of our third-party operators to obtain sufficient insurance at reasonable cost, or at all; the loss of key members of our management team; disruptions in the operations of our third-party operators, their failure to perform adequately, or their misuse of Blade-branded aircraft; the loss of our existing relationships with third-party operators or our inability to attract and retain qualified new operators to meet demand; disruptions or interference in our use of third-party web services; changes in our regulatory environment, including aviation law and FAA regulations; regulatory obstacles that may block our ability to offer our services in certain jurisdictions on a profitable basis, or at all; our ability to comply with privacy, data protection, consumer protections and environmental laws and regulations and changes to such laws and their interpretations; our ability to remediate any material weaknesses or maintain effective an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting; changes in the fair value of our warrants; and other factors beyond our control. Additional factors can be found in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, each as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and Blade undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changes in expectations, future events or otherwise.
