“This quarter marks Blade’s first Adjusted EBITDA positive Q2 as a public company with both the Medical and Passenger segments enjoying strong performance and contributing positive Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter,” said Rob Wiesenthal, Blade’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are also pleased to see continued sequential growth in Medical as well as increasing adoption of Blade’s ground and organ placement offerings. We’ve exited certain Passenger routes that didn’t meet our return thresholds and we remain relentless in our pursuit of profitability in core markets that are showing growth by improving customer acquisition globally, including by launching a new codeshare with Emirates to and from Monaco, by opening two new terminals at Nice Airport and by opening a new heliport in Atlantic City at Ocean Casino.”

“We continued our drive towards full-year profitability in the Passenger Segment this quarter, posting our first ever Q2 with positive Passenger Segment Adjusted EBITDA, a $2.9 million improvement versus the prior year period,” said Will Heyburn, Chief Financial Officer. “As part of this effort, we restructured our Canadian operations to eliminate further losses and lay the groundwork for our ultimate exit from the Canadian market within the next year. We simply did not see a near-term path to profitability using conventional rotorcraft, however, we remain enthusiastic about the long-term opportunity for Electric Vertical Aircraft in Western Canada and have structured our departure to maintain multiple paths to re-launch Canadian operations in the future, following the introduction of electric vertical aircraft.”

“During the quarter, we closed on seven of the eight previously announced jet aircraft acquisitions and we’re encouraged by both the value these aircraft provide to our customers and the initial financial performance of the fleet to date, generating a return on invested capital above 30%,” said Melissa Tomkiel, Blade’s President. “While we continue to believe that the vast majority of our flying will remain with third-party owned and operated aircraft, we see an opportunity to further improve our customer value proposition while generating strong returns by expanding our fleet of owned aircraft.”

Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Total revenue increased 11.4% to $67.9 million in the current quarter versus $61.0 million in the prior year period. Excluding the impact of discontinuing our BladeOne scheduled by-the-seat jet service between New York and South Florida and the temporary support of a large hospital customer in the year ago period, total revenue increased 17.5% year-over-year.
  • Flight Profit(1) increased 57.7% to $16.4 million in the current quarter versus $10.4 million in the prior year period, driven by strong growth in both the Medical and Passenger segments.
  • Flight Margin(1) improved to 24.1% in the current quarter from 17.0% in the prior year period, driven by strong performance of our owned aircraft fleet, growth in ground revenue and improved pricing in the Medical segment, coupled with improved profitability in our New York Airport transfer product, Europe and Jet Charter in the Passenger segment.
  • Medical revenue increased 11.5% to $38.3 million in the current quarter versus $34.4 million in the prior year period. Medical revenue increased 6.4% sequentially versus Q1 2024. Excluding the impact of our temporary support of a large hospital customer in the prior year period, Medical revenue increased 19.0% year-over-year driven by growth in both block hours flown and revenue per block hour.
  • Short Distance revenue increased 9.0% to $20.9 million in the current quarter versus $19.2 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by our New York Airport transfer product and growth in Europe.
  • Jet and Other revenue increased 17.4% to $8.7 million in the current quarter versus $7.4 million in the prior year period driven by growth in Jet Charter and non-flight revenue, partially offset by the discontinuation of our BladeOne seasonal by-the-seat jet service between New York and South Florida.
  • Net loss decreased 7.4% to $(11.3) million in the current quarter versus $(12.2) million in the prior year period and improved as a percentage of revenue to (16.7)% in the current quarter from (20.1)% in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) improved by $5.4 million year-over-year to $1.0 million in the current quarter versus $(4.4) million in the prior year period, primarily due to an 82.7% increase in Medical Segment Adjusted EBITDA to $5.5 million in the current quarter, and a $2.9 million improvement in Passenger Segment Adjusted EBITDA to $0.8 million. Adjusted Unallocated Corporate Expenses and Software Development decreased (0.9)% versus the prior year period.
  • Capital expenditures of $16.9 million were driven primarily by the $14.6 million purchase of aircraft in the Medical segment.
  • Repurchased 80,102 shares for $0.2 million during the quarter. In addition, we changed our Restricted Stock Unit tax withholding method to “withhold-to-cover” from “sell-to-cover” during the quarter, deploying approximately $1.0 million of balance sheet cash to retire 332,212 shares.
  • Ended Q2 2024 with $142.0 million in cash and short term investments.

Business Highlights and Recent Updates

  • In mid July, Blade opened two new private passenger lounges in terminals 1 and 2 at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport. These lounges enhance the Blade passenger experience by providing a place to relax, enjoy food and refreshments and access free Wi-Fi before the flight.
  • Blade opened a new rooftop helipad at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, NJ and announced a partnership with the resort to offer scheduled service in the summer months.
  • Blade announced a global codeshare agreement with Emirates that enables passengers to fly seamlessly between Dubai and Monaco. When Emirates passengers fly Blade back from Monaco, checked luggage will flow to the final destination and upon arrival at Nice Airport, passengers will be escorted to the helipad-side security clearance for security and customs and driven directly to their gate, bypassing in-terminal congestion and public security queues.
  • During Q2 2024, we closed on seven of the eight aircraft acquisitions that we announced earlier this year and expect to close on the eighth aircraft during Q3 2024.
  • We amended the agreement with our partner in Canada during Q2 2024 to eliminate further losses in 2024 and lay the groundwork for Blade’s ultimate exit within the next year.

Financial Outlook(2)

The Company is reaffirming its guidance. For the full year 2024, we expect:

  • Revenue of $240 million to $250 million
  • Positive Adjusted EBITDA

For the full year 2025, we expect:

  • Double-digit year-over-year revenue growth
  • Double-digit Adjusted EBITDA

(1) See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Information” sections attached to this release for an explanation of Non-GAAP measures used and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
(2) We have not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance included above to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to certain costs, the most significant of which are incentive compensation (including stock-based compensation), transaction-related expenses, certain fair value measurements, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Conference Call

The Company will conduct a conference call starting at 4:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday August 7, 2024 to discuss the results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

A live audio-only webcast of the call may be accessed from the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at https://ir.blade.com/. An archived replay of the call will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website for one year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Blade believes that the non-GAAP measures discussed below, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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, Adjusted Unallocated Corporate Expenses, SG&A, Adjusted SG&A, Flight Profit, Flight Margin and Free Cash Flow have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the tables within this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA – Blade reports Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Blade defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, interest income and expense, income tax, realized gains and losses on short-term investments, impairment of intangible assets and certain other non-recurring items that management does not believe are indicative of ongoing Company operating performance and would impact the comparability of results between periods.

Adjusted Unallocated Corporate Expenses – Blade defines Adjusted Unallocated Corporate Expenses as expenses that cannot be allocated to either of our reporting segments (Passenger and Medical) and therefore attributable to our Corporate expenses and software development, less non-cash items and certain other non-recurring items that management does not believe are indicative of ongoing Company operating performance and would impact the comparability of results between periods.

SG&A and Adjusted SG&A – Blade defines SG&A as total operating expenses excluding cost of revenue. Blade defines Adjusted SG&A as total operating expenses excluding cost of revenue and excluding non-cash items and certain other non-recurring items that management does not believe are indicative of ongoing Company operating performance and would impact the comparability of results between periods.

Flight Profit and Flight Margin – Blade defines Flight Profit as revenue less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists of flight costs paid to operators of aircraft and vehicles, landing fees, depreciation of aircraft and vehicles, ROU asset amortization, internal costs incurred in generating organ ground transportation revenue using the Company’s owned vehicles and costs of operating our owned aircraft including fuel, management fees paid to the operator, maintenance costs and pilot salaries. Blade defines Flight Margin for a period as Flight Profit for the period divided by revenue for the same period. Blade believes that Flight Profit and Flight Margin provide an important measure of the profitability of the Company’s flight and ground operations, as they focus solely on the non discretionary direct variable costs associated with those operations.

Free Cash Flow – Blade defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by / (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs.
