Management Commentary

"GlobalX delivered a solid second quarter, with results highlighting the resilience of our platform," said Chris Jamroz, Executive Chairman of GlobalX. "Despite a period of highly intensified scheduled maintenance that meaningfully constrained aircraft availability, we maintained year-over-year revenue and delivered EBITDA growth. We continued to see strong demand across our core passenger markets and targeted sales verticals. Our business model insulates the airline from fuel-driven disruptions affecting the broader market, and we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the resulting increase in aircraft availability to accelerate our fleet's modernization. We believe the five younger A320 aircraft entering service in the second half of the year will meaningfully improve our fleet's age and reliability and reduce maintenance expenses over time. That maintenance investment was necessary but temporary and we now expect it to position GlobalX for near-full utilization of our target 25-aircraft fleet by year-end. We believe GlobalX is positioned to deliver improved operating performance during the remainder of 2026."

Ryan Goepel, President and Chief Financial Officer of GlobalX, added, “We generated our second-highest quarterly EBITDA in Q2 despite operating with fewer net available aircraft as we had only 15.3 net available aircraft compared to 17.1 in Q2 2025 as a result of significant planned heavy and non-heavy maintenance. Average utilization per available aircraft increased 11% year-over-year, offsetting the impact of reduced aircraft availability. With only two scheduled 2-year maintenance checks remaining in the third quarter and newer aircraft entering revenue service, we expect availability and operating leverage to improve as we progress through the year. We are also seeing increased aircraft supply in the market, enabling us to secure additional aircraft on more attractive terms as we build toward our 25-aircraft target. We believe these initiatives, coupled with our disciplined approach to capital allocation, will enable us to execute on our growth and profitability objectives.”

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, EBITDA and 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. 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 (the “SEC”) in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

EBITDA is defined as operating income (loss), plus depreciation and amortization 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 it excludes items that may not be indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance.

EBITDAR is defined as operating income (loss), plus depreciation, amortization, 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.
