Hello Everyone,

We have SRFM back on our radar for Tuesday's session.

You might remember this one because of their unique business model.

A Quick Look at this company and you can't help but draw comparisons to corporate giants Uber and Lyft.

The main difference is that SRFM is doing it IN THE AIR and there certainly seems to be demand for it.

Putting the infrastructure in place for something like this is no easy task. That is why the inked an agreement with AI Blue Chip, Palantir.

There is another reason you might remember this one. The last time be brought this company front and center last summer it was sitting around 2.50. When you pull it up you will notice it is sitting around 4.35 and has hit highs of 6.40 last month.

Unlike others in the space, Surf Air Mobility isn’t just a concept—it’s a fully operational business generating real revenue and focused on leading the charge in transforming regional air mobility.

The company and business model has even caught the eye of AI Giant Palantir. They have a ~17.6% stake in the company as of November 2024. I know "Smart Money" is an objective term but I will go ahead and assume that Palantir has done their research.

Surf Air Mobility is a Los Angeles-based regional air mobility platform expanding the category of regional air travel to transform flying through the power of electrification and software. In an effort to substantially reduce the cost and environmental impact of flying and as the owner of the largest commuter airline in the US, Surf Air Mobility intends to develop powertrain technology with its commercial partners to electrify existing fleets and bring electrified aircraft to market at scale. The management team has deep experience and expertise across aviation, electrification, and consumer technology.

A lot has happened with the company since the last time we put it in front of you.

Most recently we saw the chairman and also one of the co-founders put their money where there mouth is. Using our last profile on SRFM back in August as a benchmark, you can see that as of late management has the company and PPS heading in the right direction.

Surf Air Mobility Unveils Four-Phase Transformation Plan

2024

PHASE 1: TRANSFORMATION | COMPLETE

The first phase of the Transformation Plan is now complete. The Transformation phase was centered around four key initiatives: 1) improving the Company’s capital structure, 2) strengthening the Company’s balance sheet, 3) appointing the right management team, and 4) realizing M&A synergies from the Company’s merger with Southern Airways.

Surf Air addressed these key initiatives in the following ways: 1) improved its capital structure by securing $50 million in funding and extended the maturities of other secured debt until December 31, 2028, 2) strengthened its balance sheet by addressing past liabilities totaling approximately $70 million with an expected target reduction of greater than 50%, 3) hired and promoted leaders with decades of aviation experience across the organization, and 4) realized M&A synergies totaling approximately $6.5 million.

2025-2026

PHASE 2: OPTIMIZATION

Surf Air is now entering the second phase of its Transformation Plan: Optimization. This phase of the plan is focused on maximizing the profitability of the Company’s scheduled service and On Demand charter operations.

As part of scheduled service optimization, the Company is implementing systems and processes to measure and drive efficiencies against real-time operational and financial KPIs. The Company is also addressing its deferred maintenance backlog to improve aircraft availability and flight completion rates. In parallel, the company is exiting unprofitable routes and redeploying aircraft. Through this reallocation of aircraft assets, Surf Air is calibrating the timing of its purchases of new aircraft to match the timing of its route expansion phase in 2026 and 2027. As a result of these initiatives, management expects airline operations to become profitable in FY 2025.

As part of the recalibration of its On Demand business, Surf Air’s go- forward strategy focuses on expanding market share in the higher margin jet category, securing inventory through advance volume purchase agreements and pursuing international partnerships. These efforts will drive revenue growth and profitability in the On Demand business over time.

Finally, the Company anticipates that further implementation of its SurfOS software solutions, which it is developing with Palantir, will continue throughout the Optimization phase to drive productivity and efficiency improvements across the organization.

2026-2027

PHASE 3: EXPANSION

The Company anticipates entering the third phase of its Transformation Plan, Expansion, in FY 2026. During this phase, the Company will profitably expand its network by launching new tier-1 routes in regions across the U.S., using data-driven insights to quantify and qualify route attractiveness. As a base case, tier-1 routes will be selected for profitability using current combustion aircraft with further margin improvements anticipated once electrified planes are commercialized.

Alongside this network expansion, Surf Air anticipates pursuing additional venture opportunities that leverage the Company’s scale, to separately capitalize high-growth initiatives with strategic partners.

During the Expansion phase, SurfOS will be broadly marketed to third-party customers (including air operators, charter brokers, and aviation OEMs) through the Surf Air Technologies LLC venture entity with Palantir, and will begin to develop revenue traction. As the largest commuter airline in the U.S. by scheduled departures, Surf Air is uniquely positioned to develop, test, and deploy software solutions that will power the emergence and growth of the Regional Air Mobility segment, which McKinsey & Co. estimates will grow to between $75 billion and $115 billion globally by 2035.

2027+

PHASE 4: ACCELERATION

The Company anticipates entering the last phase of its Transformation Plan, Acceleration, in FY 2027. During this phase, Surf Air plans to spur revenue growth and margin expansion by leveraging its air mobility platform to accelerate the adoption of new aviation technologies–its own and that of others–and leverage the network effects of its operator platform to emerge as a category leader.

A key focus of the Acceleration phase is the certification of the Company’s proprietary electrified powertrain technology for the Cessna Grand Caravan, which Surf Air currently anticipates will occur within the framework of a joint venture with a leading industry partner. Post- certification of its electrified powertrain technology, Surf Air will leverage its exclusive sales and marketing relationship with Textron Aviation, a leading general aviation manufacturer and Cessna owner, to commercialize these powertrains.

Revenue Streams

SRFM is revamping travel. They’re not just changing the game; they’re rewriting the playbook with a diverse revenue mix.

Scheduled flights linked over 40 US cities and over 70,000 flights and 400,000 passengers in 2023, making travel a breeze. Whether it’s a single seat or a private charter, Surf Air is the go-to for fast, convenient journeys.

As SRFM charges ahead in empowering the electrification of regional air travel, it’s also relentlessly expanding its commuter flight network to enhance convenience for travelers across America.

• • • Acquisition of Southern Airlines jumpstarted operations, deploying a fleet of ~50 aircraft on a nationwide network of flights.
    • Agreement with Textron Aviation for over 100 Cessna Grand Caravan EX models

SRFM has begun making waves in East Africa and Brazil, sealing strategic MOU agreements with air operators to electrify their fleets once the technology is certified.
