GlobalX added the A321F (passenger to freighter) aircraft to its operating certificate during the first quarter of 2023. The Company continues to believe that the A321F will be a highly sought after cargo aircraft over the next few years as a replacement for the aging and retiring B757 freighter fleet. During six months ended June 30, 2025, we had four cargo aircraft operating. GlobalX has seen over a 125% increase in block hours operated compared to the same period in 2024 attributed to contracts entered into during 2025. The cargo charter market continues to be soft due to, general economic conditions and excess capacity in the North American freight market. In response to this continued slowdown during the quarter, the Company continues to make progress establishing our reputation for on time performance as the market better understands the capabilities of the A321F aircraft. While the Company cannot predict when the cargo market will recover, GlobalX has taken concrete steps to reduce our financial exposure in 2025 by canceling or deferring freighters ordered while expanding our customer base for the aircraft the Company does have.

Unlike the cargo charter market, the passenger charter market continues to demonstrate strong demand. There are several macro factors, including the supply of aircraft, reduced direct competition, increased reliance on air charter by colleges and a general increased customer demand, driving increased demand for our services. GlobalX anticipates the high level of demand will continue through the summer and well into 2026. To address this demand, the Company has prioritized passenger aircraft deliveries over cargo, devoted sales and operational resources to develop long-term relationships with key customers and to expand the markets served as opportunities arise. Passenger charter services are expected to be the economic engine for GlobalX in 2025.

The U.S. Charter market continues to evolve as several airlines provide charter aircraft. Specifically, Eastern Airlines Express, Breeze Airways and Avelo continue to dedicate aircraft to charter operations, each of which has increased competition and applied downward pricing pressure on the charter market. It is our expectation that our competitors, including, Eastern Airlines Express, will continue to add aircraft to expand their business domestically and in the Caribbean. In response we are focusing on our core business, emphasizing on time performance, reinforcing our differentiation of our Airbus product and actively soliciting longer-term contracts with key customers.

In 2025, GlobalX has expanded on our existing relationships both domestically and internationally and grew operations in the ACMI market through increased focus on operating for government agencies. As the Company grows, operational efficiency and margins have continued to improve. Our key metrics are block hours flown and block hours flown per available aircraft, which are the measures by which the Company tracks commercial activity. While other airlines discuss available seat miles, revenue per available seat mile (“rasm”), and cost per available seat mile (“casm”), these metrics are not germane to our business model as an ACMI and Charter operator. GlobalX charters the entire aircraft, does not take fuel risk, and does not take third party risk and therefore all results are evaluated on a block hour basis.
