Jet.AI Inc. Reports Full Year 2024 Financial Results

LAS VEGAS, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jet.AI Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: JTAI), a pure-play artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center company operating aviation-specific AI software, today announced financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2024. As of March 25th, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $12.5 million and no debt. In addition, it held $4.2 million in aircraft-related deposits. Together, these amounts - totaling $16.7 million - are expected to be sufficient to satisfy the minimum cash condition of the proposed transaction with flyExclusive, Inc. (“flyExclusive”). Recent Operational Highlights Announced strategic shift into AI data center investment and signed a letter of intent for a 50-megawatt data center project on a proposed gigawatt campusEntered into a definitive agreement with flyExclusive to divest the Company’s jet card and fractional aviation business in a spin-merge transaction expected to close in the second quarter of 2025Launched “Ava”, an agentic AI model for private jet booking at +1-888-492-4538Commenced pre-sales for fractional ownership interests in its upcoming Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 aircraftRegained compliance with Nasdaq stockholders’ equity requirement and minimum bid price requirementAnnounced a fleet purchase agreement with Textron Aviation Inc. for the purchase of three Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen 2 aircraftAuthorized a $2 million share repurchase program and withdrawal of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-281911) for a prospective offering that the Company was previously pursuingCompleted reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-225Announced new features and advancements to CharterGPT and Reroute AI Management Commentary Founder and Executive Chairman Mike Winston said, “2024 - and the first stretch of 2025 - was about laying the foundation for something new. We spent the year redefining Jet.AI’s long-term vision and charting a path toward a future centered on AI data centers. Along the way, we continued to invest in our software platform, enhancing existing tools and launching Ava - our agentic AI model that simplifies private jet booking. It’s a product we’re proud of, and one we believe speaks to where intelligent systems are headed. The back half of the year was focused on cleaning up our capitalization structure, following the 2023 de-SPAC transaction. At the same time, our aviation business continued to attract strong interest. That effort culminated in a definitive agreement in February 2025 to divest the segment to flyExclusive through an all-stock spin-off deal. It’s a win-win. Our shareholders retain their Jet.AI holdings and will receive flyExclusive shares at closing, giving them a seat at two tables: aviation and artificial intelligence.” “Looking forward, our attention is fully on building the AI infrastructure we believe is essential for scaling our platform and unlocking the next phase of value. Data centers are central to that strategy, and we’re moving quickly - just a few months into the year, we’ve already signed a letter of intent for our first 50-megawatt project. It’s the anchor of a 120-acre campus with the potential to grow into a full gigawatt of capacity over time. To get it done right, we’ve brought in a seasoned group of folks who’ve built data centers before and know how to keep timelines tight and budgets in check. In parallel, we’re evaluating acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and additional development sites to keep the momentum going. Our leadership team is focused, our plan is clear, and we’re committed to executing with discipline. With this pivot, we believe Jet.AI is well positioned for long-term success in AI infrastructure and intelligent systems.” Full Year 2024 Financial Results Revenues were $14.0 million, an increase of $1.8 million compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in software app and Cirrus charter revenues and management and other services revenues. Software App and Cirrus Charter revenue, the gross amount of charters booked through CharterGPT and Cirrus, was $8.1 million, an increase of $1.0 million compared to the same period last year. Management and Other Services revenue, which is comprised of revenues generated from managing and chartering our customer aircraft, totaled $3.6 million, an increase of $1.4 million compared to the same period last year. Jet Card and Fractional Programs revenue, which is generated from the sale and use of jet cards and service revenue related to ongoing utilization by the Company’s fractional customers, totaled $2.3 million compared to $2.8 million in the same period last year. Cost of revenues totaled $15 million compared to $12.4 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the increased fleet and the increase in jet card and Cirrus charter flight activity, as well as the startup expenses relating to the introduction of the King Air 350i managed aircraft to the Company’s fleet. Gross loss totaled approximately $965,000 compared to a loss of $179,000 in the same period last year. The result was primarily due to increased maintenance costs and lower utilization of the Company’s HondaJet Elites. Operating expenses decreased to $11.6 million compared to $12.3 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses. Operating loss was $12.6 million compared to a loss of $12.5 million in the same period last year. The slight increase was primarily due to an increase in gross operating loss, offset by reduced general and administrative expenses. As of March 25th, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $12.5 million and no debt.
